 There are two versions of ''DoDonPachi DaiOuJou'' that were released to the arcades; ''White Label'' and ''Black Label''. ''White Label'' is what the original release of the game is referred to as, and ''Black Label'' is a revised version of the game containing a selection of mechanics adjustments and bug fixes, as well as the option to select between a one-loop or two-loop game. When differentiating between the two, people abbreviate the game as "DOJ WL" for White Label and "DOJ BL" for Black Label.
-White Label was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2003 by Arika, while Black Label wouldn't see a home release until 2008 with DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Black Label Extra which included both versions. In December 2023, DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Rinne Tensei was released for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch by M2.

 As in the previous DonPachi games, scoring in Daioujou is all about achieving and properly maintaining a high combo chain. As the point value of the enemies you destroy and some items you collect are multiplied by the current chain counter.
-<ref></ref>===Bee items===
+===Bee items===
 Bees play an important role in DaiOuJou, and are worth 1,000 points multiplied by the number of hits in the current combo chain. Uncovering a bee item with the Laser will add a HIT to the current chain counter, and  it will refill the chain gauge by 50%. If a player can collect all ten bee items in a stage without dying, the last item will have an additional x2 multiplier. Collecting all the bee items in a stage will also increase their default value by 1,000 for every subsequent stage. Collecting every bee item in both loops without dying outside of boss fights will cause the bee items to be worth 10,000 points each in the final stage!
 The player can fill the Hyper Gauge by collecting a bee item while having at least a 20-HIT chain.

 The game's ending reveals, in a chilling twist, that the Element Dolls are, in truth, cybernetic beings built by forcefully turning human beings into servants, laborers and soldiers, their minds and wills rewritten and bent to the whim of Earth's upper class. Then, a Doll-specific coda is shown:
-* '''Shotia:''' Interfacing with the enemy's computer network and forcibly shutting it down, Shotia is finally pulled out of the fighter jet by her pilot, who has come to grow feelings for the biomechanical soldier. As he holds her however, her mind is overcome by a virus hidden in Hibachi's mainframe and slowly deteriorates, each memory being deleted until, at last, tears accompany the Doll's final ones, those of her in her human days, before being abducted and converted. Before Shotia dies, she gives one last smile to her pilot.

 * '''Leinyan:''' Having finally destroyed the devilish war machine and ensuing the collapse of the enemy's computer network, the fighter plane returns to base, the pilot's mission completed. However, Leinyan rebels against her masters, having fallen in love with her pilot, who is forced to watch helplessly as she is dragged away, deactivated and her body dissected for research. In an atypical subversion of the series' dark endings, the Doll's consciousness takes control of the laboratory's systems, escaping into cyberspace and, finally, reuniting back with her lover.
-* '''EXY:''' In a desperate attempt to shut down the enemy's computer network, EXY interfaces with it and delves within the massive data stream with her own consciousness. The attempt was a success, but at a huge cost. The information flow drives her insane (it is implied that she discovered Colonel Schwarlitz Longhener's involvement and betrayal), who ultimately breaks free from the fighter's armor and, in a fit of blind rage, chokes the pilot to death and slaughters the accompanying infantry escort. This, along with the deranged realization that mankind is the one true enemy to defeat, ultimately leads to the events depicted in [[DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu | Dai-Fukkatsu]].
