However, there is only one hyper meter that when filled, the player can activate by pressing what would normally be the bomb button. Hypers are built up through large combos, attacking enemies at close range, and collecting green bee medals. The hyper gauge is the primary method of scoring and has been changed from the previous game as well. Once revealed, the bee medals will alternate between yellow and green until the player collects them. Green bee medals give a meager score bonus but massively increase the Hyper Gauge. Yellow bee medals give a large score bonus that increases the more you collect without losing a life. There are now 2 types of bee medals, which are still revealed with the laser like in previous games. Strong style (Introduced in Black Label and Version 1.5) gives the player max firepower as well as bombs but makes the game slightly harder. Normal is the same amount of firepower as it is the Bomb style, but Boost doubles the firepower and gives you a larger laser. Power style replaces bombs with a Normal/Boost system, where pressing a third button on the controller/joystick would change your style of firepower. To compensate, your firepower is somewhat small. Bomb style, recommended for beginners gives you a stock of 3 bombs that can be increased upon death, the MAXIMUM bonus upon obtaining bombs past your maximum capacity, an autobombing skill that deploys a weak bomb in case you get hit, and bomb powerups that increase your stock of bombs. Once you enter the HIDDEN second loop you can continue, die or bomb and you will automatically fight Hibachi.In addition to all 3 ships seen in the original Donpachi and Dodonpachi, there are 3 different ship styles to choose from to suit one's playstyle. Select continue, you will be taken back to stage 1 and you will have to complete all of the stages again on a harder difficulty. If you meet all of the requirements during the cut scene after completing stage 5 you will prompted to continue or stop. Make sure you always have a HYPER before every boss or mid-boss. I recommend using the TYPE-C ship and POWER STYLE that way you have a large spread of bullets and also have continuous hypers. To enter the HIDDEN second loop you must meet these requirements:ĭie once or less AND Bomb twice or less AND collect all 45 BEESĪs you have to collect all 45 BEES you must enter the hidden route on stage 1 and that way you can collect all 9 BEES on every level. To fight Hibachi you must first enter the HIDDEN second loop this is similar to the 'Abominable Execution Weapon' but it is harder to achieve.

This achievement should be attempted on NOVICE mode.
