Favorite shooter stage

[Ninja Spirit]

Fortress stages kick major ass!

Last Resort (Final Stage)

Just as I love jumping and platforming, which unfortunately became the least important aspect of platformers from the 16-bit gen onward, I also love constant dodging in shooters. In particular, scenes like the high speed tunnel in Aeroblasters and the similar stage in Gradius II. That kind of stuff is infinitely more thrilling for me than going fast in Sonic games.

Agreed, my favorite moments in shooters is when you're so lazer(!) focused that if you took a moment to think about what is going on, you'd be dead. Happens a lot with bullet hell type shooters but PCE games def. have their share of those moments.
