This is another sentence where the Japanese word order differs greatly from the English. The entire phrase 人類滅亡をたくらむ modifies the entire phrase 「レッド・ファルコン」となのる, which in turn modifies なぞの侵略者. | This is another sentence where the Japanese word order differs greatly from the English.

Attract mode intro
This is the only screen in the game that uses kanji (not counting the title screen).
Audio (via RhinoSpike)
魂斗羅 is an instance of ateji, the phenomenon of using kanji for their readings. Sometimes the kanji is used to add meaning, but then, sometimes it's just done to look cool.
The と in とは is the quotation particle. Its purpose here is to indicate that what follows is a definition.
である is a formal form of だ.
This sentence is a little difficult to parse. The entire phrase 熱い闘魂とゲリラ戦術の素質を持つ modifies the phrase 最強の闘士, whereas in English we would state these in reverse order (as we have in the translation).
Level 1

This is presumably your character's reaction to seeing that the final level appears to be a biological structure built by aliens.
TODO - confirm role of よう in first sentence.
Ending (secret message)
The following text appears in the game if you hold Select and Start through the entire credit sequence.
The cipher used is 0 = ア, 1 = イ, etc.; A = サ, B = シ, and so on. Kana characters are read as-is. Decipher it and you get this:
コレデ ”レッド ファルコン”ガ ゼンメツシタトデモ オモッテイルノカ
TODO - でも
That is, "we've already begun our next attack".
