 The bomb is fairly standard, dealing damage to the entire screen and giving you invulnerability for its full duration. You will also automatically bomb when getting hit, which results in a much smaller bomb which lasts for a very short time only. With the Power style you can use your picked up auto-bomb as a full sized bomb by getting hit in the Normal mode.
-'''Hyper counter'''
+==== Hyper counter ====
 The hyper is your most important scoring tool (see the scoring section), and can also be used to aid survival. Activating it gives you a brief period on invulnerability, fills your combo gauge and makes a timer for the hyper appear around your ship. During hyper you gain a boost to your movement speed, and your laser becomes much stronger (and capable of blocking big enemy lasers in all cases). Some enemies will fire more and/or faster bullets at you during the hyper. Your shot in the hyper mode is capable of erasing enemy bullets with a varying strength (some attacks, especially of bosses, are more resistant to erasing). When the timer runs out the hyper ends, clearing out all bullets remaining in the screen, giving you another brief window of invulnerability and filling your combo gauge. The combo gauge will decrease slower during a hyper, and lasering enemies will hold it at a much higher level. Using a bomb will prematurely end the hyper, and if hyper is used during an active bomb, the timer will be rapidly drained during the bombs effect.
@@ Line 51: / Line 51: @@
 The hyper can be activated when the hyper gauge is full. You gain hyper gauge by killing enemies normally and hitting them with the laser. There is some bonus gauge gain when hitting off screen enemies with the laser and when hitting enemies with the laser aura. These two methods work during hyper mode too, while normal gauge gain is disabled. The Power style can also gain hyper gauge by erasing bullets with the Boost mode shot.
-'''Hyper rank'''
+==== Hyper rank ====
 Your ship has a hyper rank value which modifies the effects of the hyper and increases with every hyper activated. The value ranges from 0 to 5, and is briefly visible every time on the middle of the timer when activating a hyper (it is also visible by counting the small notches in the remaining part of the hyper timer). Activating a hyper will always increase the value by 1 up to the maximum (so it is impossible to have a rank 0 hyper active). The value is decreased by 1 by dying or by using a manual bomb (loop 2 only). Starting a new stage will reset the rank back to 0 in the first loop, half it rounded down in the Omote second loop, and reduce it by 1 in the Ura second loop. Using an auto-bomb will not affect the rank, with the exception of Power style in the second loop reducing it by 1.

 The first Ura midboss is normally hypered to chain over it safely, but at least with Strong it is possible while highly risky to point blank and kill it quickly without any hypers. Killing the midboss quickly is important regardless as this will make more enemies spawn. The Ura route is also much better here as it contains lots of medium sized ships to boost the combo value. Connecting the end of the enemy rush section to the start of the next takes some care, the two bees at the bottom are helpful for this.
-The following section with the indestructible rotating laser bits is ideally done without any hypers as you should always have a full multiplier by this point. However the section is also fairly difficult so might want to decide to use some safety hypers instead. A high level scoring technique here is keeping the two large hangars alive as long as possible in order to destroy all the large round enemies they spawn, as these have a relatively high base value. The whole section is also full of tanks and other ground objects that show up only briefly so getting all the possible kills here is challenging.

 The second midboss should just be destroyed with a hyper as quickly as possible to maximize the amount of appearing bonus enemies. Again you need to pay attention to your combo when destroying it as you will break there if you are in the multiplier mode. Destroying the midboss during a hyper or at non-full hyper gauge both work.

 The hyper shot has two parts, green and red. This is most easily seen with the Boost mode of the Power style, which has a much shorter green part than others. If the shot hits any enemy bullets in the red part, it will be cut off at that point and will not hit anything beyond. The Boost mode also has a much higher bullet erasing power than all the other hyper shots.

 The basic scoring strategy revolves around balancing using hypers to obtain a high hit count and maximizing the time spent with the multiplier active. Note that there is no real benefit in raising the hit count beyond 10000. The no-multiplier no-hyper mode has no scoring benefits, but can be used to carry the combo over difficult parts.

 For durable laser firing targets (the gatling laser cannons in stage 5, the laser tower at the start of stage 4, etc.) the easiest way to perform the technique is point blanking the enemy. This makes sure your laser is not hitting anything else and breaking the hit gain. You will also regain hyper gauge due to the aura effect. Some other laser firing enemies are too weak for this method (the small ground laser cannons, the big laser cannons in stage 3, etc.) and for these you just need to laser off the screen. The countered enemy lasers keep emitting a stream of small stars so you do not have to worry about breaking your combo while doing this.
-The Danger Lasers spawned in mass at higher hyper ranks can also be used for the countering technique. Their random behavior makes this more unrealiable than using regular enemies, but the method can still be very useful at starts of stages for gaining more hits than what would otherwise be possible.

 The laser tower in the beginning is a very valuable source of hits and the row of laser cannons before it can also be used for the same purpose. For Strong style a common strategy is to use a rank 5 carryover hyper for the first and then another one for the tower. Power style can alternatively use the available extra charge to skip the carryover and instead time two hypers such that the first ends while on top of the tower followed immediately by a second one. Both techniques can reach 7000 hits but optimal performance in this part is very tricky. The base value of the tower is also very high, but there is no good way to get a multiplier kill here while also getting the valuable hits.
-The 2 wide ships appearing immeadiately after the tower have a high base value and should be killed with a multiplier for a good start. Regaining charge after the tower hyper is easy for Power, but Strong needs to do it by point blanking the first appearing wide ship while at the same time taking care to not destroy it prematurely. The bullets fired by the ship are your last change of getting the hit count up to 7000 here. The section between the wide ships and the midboss does not contain anything particularly valuable, so it can be used for an extra hyper if your hit count is not high enough. If not using a hyper, connecting the combo to the midboss is a bit tricky. You want to delay the first set of 3 medium sized enemies to destroy them only after the second set for this.

 The Ura midboss cannot be destroyed too quickly, since otherwise you will be left with a completely empty section. You need to be aware when you can get rid of it and have enemies spawning in to successfully chain over the part. Being high up on the screen when the laser attack starts is good for this, as it makes the midboss go over the top of the screen and receive less damage. For Strong this also gives you a valuable hyper recharge opportunity. You may want to manipulate the hyper gauge such that you are not at the risk of breaking the combo when the midboss dies but regain your multiplier mode soon after.
-The boss of this stage is a popular target for score milking, especially during the second phase. This is partly due to the latter part of the stage containing so many high value enemies that a successful full combo will have more value in the end than in any other stage. The first phase of the boss is easy to defeat quickly by leaving one rocket booster intanct in the beginning as this lets you point blank the boss itself for an extended time. The big orbs fired in the final phase can be point blanked to instantly recharge your hyper during the invulnerability in order to carry over a hyper with a full charge ready.

 For Hibachi, a good plan and hyper timing is essential. The boss has a shield on whenever you are invulnerable, so dealing damage by hyper point blanking is most of the time only possible during the gaps between attacks. You can also keep near to the boss during the 3rd attack before the counter bullets from the laser reach you. For the final, being able to deal point blank hyper damage during the start helps a lot. Since a lot of the pattern is made of the counter bullets, avoiding lasering during invulnerability also helps a bit.
