Rotate Option
The Rotate Option inherits all characteristics of the standard Option. It is considered a direct upgrade from the standard Option. The only notable differences are: their color in which the Rotate Options are green, and having a special ability.
The Rotate Option can circle around the player by holding down the Option Action Key. They will rotate around the host in a fixed pattern and follow them while still able to duplicate the projectiles. By pressing the hotkey again, one can change the direction of the rotation.
The Rotate Options are separated into a total of 4 accessories. One may combine them to a total of just 2 as they progress through the game so they take up fewer accessory slots.

The Rolling Options were first seen in Gradius III, although the behavior implemented in this mod is inspired from Gradius V's Rotate type.
In Gradius V, the player may only change the rotational direction of the options. In other games, they may change the radius of the Rotate Options to make them farther from the host.
