If you play as usual on Normal/Hard/Lunatic difficulties and you start with 3 or less lives, the Clear Bonus!! screen will not contain any penalties. The difficulty bonus will be shown in green.

This post will contain references from both trial and full version. In the full version a 'Bomb Extend ! !' is awarded at the end of each stage with a status screen (excepting stage 6 and extra stage), shifting a bit the position of some rows on the status screen.

If you start with more than 3 lives, a corresponding penalty will be added. The more lives you start with, the greater the penalty. Similarly, if you Continue, a corresponding penalty will be added. The more times you Continue, the greater the penalty. Left side pictures are from the trial version, while the right side pictures are from the full version.

If you play on Easy, the difficulty bonus will be shown with red instead of green.

If you timeout the last attack of a boss, the difficulty bonus, the continue penalty (if existing) and the life penalty (if existing) are replaced by a failure multiplier of '× 0.0' ('Failed to exterminate evil spirit boss').

In the trial version (left side picture), defeating Elly will get you the 'Congratulation!!' screen with the ALL Clear bonus instead of the STAGE Bonus, since the trial ends at stage 3. In the full version (middle picture), defeating Elly will get you the 'Clear Bonus!!' screen and only when defeating Yuuka in stage 6 (right side picture) you will get the 'Congratulation!!" screen.

Timeouting Elly is a bit of unusual situation. If you timeout magenta phase 2/red phase 1 (as seen in /post/734827652809146368/), the bullets from the screen are cleared and you will get the difficulty multiplier. But if you timeout red phase 2, the bullets are not cleared and you will get the failure multiplier.

Left side picture is from timeouting Elly red phase 2 in the trial version, middle picture is from timeouting Elly red phase 2 in the full version and right side picture is from timeouting Yuuka's last attack from stage 6.

It doesn't matter if you kill or timeout Yuuka's last attack from stage 5 on Easy (or higher difficulties if you used Continue), you will not get any status screen. The screen will fade to black and you will get the bad ending scene. On Normal or higher difficulties, if you did not Continue, you get the status screen as usual and the game progresses to stage 6.

Losing your last life during stage 6 will also make the screen fade to black and you will not be able to Continue. There will be no status screen and you will see the bad ending instead.

The Extra stage 'Congratulation!!' screen does not contain any difficulty bonus. Compared to the regular stages, the 'Lives remaining in stock' multiplier is '× 30000' instead of '× 10000'. There cannot be any lives or continues penalties, so the only penalty would be if you timeout Gengetsu's last attack.

The extra stage status screens were taken from Miler's videos: youtube.com/watch?v=YnTcysxIsjU and youtube.com/watch?v=FMlBuQgrepc. Since the videos were stretched, the screenshots have been resized to match the style of the rest of screenshots from the post. Therefore, dimensions of these two screenshots are not 100% accurate.

In the trial version of Lotus Land Story, if you lost you last life before completing the game, you would be prompted with the Name Registration screen, which is somehow similar (not identical) to the one from Story of Eastern Wonderland. If you 1CC'd the trial, you would be taken to the Score Name Registration screen instead.

In the full version, it didn't matter if you lost your last life before completing the game or if you 1CC'd it, you would be taken in both cases to the Score Name Registration Screen. As you can see, the position of the score and stage number has been slightly shifted to the right in the full version.

In the trial version, the position of the elements from the name registering menu is the same as in the HiScore one.

In the full version, the dots from Reimu scores are a bit more to the right in the name registering menu compared to the ones from the HiScore menu.

MIKO16.BFT contains, amongst others, the danmaku used in-game. However, there is a difference between the file from the trial (left side) and the file from the full version (right side). As you can see, the sprites of some bullets have been edited in the full version.

Although the song is not available to play in the trial version of Lotus Land Story, it has a commentary. You can access it by extracting the _MUSIC.TXT from the ﾓﾌﾕ銧毛Z.ﾋ file. 

You can see that the commentary is different from the full version.

The Score Name Registration menu from Lotus Land Story is slightly modified in the full version. From Reimu scores, the dots were moved a bit to the left and the score and stage number were moved slightly to the right. From Marisa scores, only the score and stage number were moved a bit to the right.
