There are two paths for each stage, with the second one being accessible under certain conditions should the appropriate requirements be met, the bosses from the original DoDonPachi will reappear as mid-bosses with upgraded graphics and fiercer attacks. When the hyper counter is activated, the player's laser can block both laser types in either shot style. When using the laser, it can block weak lasers fired from enemies, but not strong lasers if boost mode is not used. The gauge can be recharged by destroying enemies. During activation, the player's attack can destroy enemy bullets until the gauge is depleted. This can be activated when the hyper counter gauge is full. Boost mode increases firepower, but reduces moving speed. Power style: The player can switch between Normal or Boost firing modes by pressing the B button.

Bomb is recharged by collecting bomb items.
