Bee Preying: Online DoDonPachi Conquest Manual
Accessing the second loop

When you clear the first loop of the game in one credit, satisfying one of these conditions will allow you to continue the game starting from the first stage, but in a harder difficulty.

  • Lose up to two fighters.
  • Depending on the fighter used, have a maximum hit count of at least the following:
    • Type A: 270 hits
    • Type B: 300 hits
    • Type C: 330 hits
  • Score at least 50 million points.
  • Collect all thirteen bees in four of the six areas.
Star carriers

In the first three areas, you see these fat, green bumblebee-looking machines. If you destroy one of these at the very top of the screen, they will release one star. The closer one is to the bottom of the screen, the more stars they will release until they reach near the bottom. By then, it will release one large aerial star. I'll leave it to you to decide how you want to destroy them.

Rank?

In shooters, rank means the difficulty of the game which depends on your performance. Typically, the longer you live and the more you power up your fighter, the game increases its difficulty--adds more enemies, more bullets, and so forth. Zanac and Battle Garegga are notorious for using this rank system.

From what I observed, DoDonPachi has no rank system. The game's difficulty decreases momentarily only when you lose a fighter. All the enemies will stop shooting until the invincible shield surrounding your fighter expires. The game will then proceed to destroy you again as usual.
