Released exclusively for Naxat Soft's Summer Carnival in 1993, Nexzr Special is a compilation of brief stages and gameplay modes that share the core mechanics and visual style of Nexzr. The standard mode features returning classic enemies along with a handful of new boss characters. The "Carnival Mode" includes Score Attack and Time Attack, both of which emphasize achieving a high score over mere survival. As a result, these modes are less punishing, offering more continues and more plentiful power-ups. Additionally, these modes include a greater number of destructible objects on screen, which are specifically designed to boost the player's score.
