-There are a number of minor differences between ver. 100 and ver. 102. They include recolored sprites, slightly different enemy spawns, and minor graphical changes.{{unconfirmed}} Some of these changes are only present in a specific region ''and'' revision. There is also one major change in game play. Ver. 102 adds an extra action button, turning the game into a four-button shooter. The extra action is assigned to both "Start" and "Button 4". It allows the player to cycle through the option formations available to the other two ships. The order that the options cycle through are Type-A -> Type-B -> Type-C, and start on the player’s initial ship choice.{{unconfirmed}}Ver. 101 specific changes are not known at this time.{{unconfirmed}}

 === Scratch Bombing ===

 Another key technique in scoring, and even survival, is to build up another Energy bar while simultaneously using a Laser Bomb. During a Laser Bomb, coming into contact with a bullet will cancel it, both due to the Laser Bomb itself, and the invulnerability of bombing, but, if a player approaches at the right angles, they can register a scrape against the bullets before they are canceled. The game continues to register these scratches, and once the Laser Bomb has finished, will properly add them to the energy bar, meaning that it is possible to “stock” another Laser Bomb while one is being fired. Because of the large amount of hits the Laser Bomb can generate in a very short amount of time, this is a crucial technique for building large chains to “cash in” during the boss battles.<ref name='gaming101_guide' />
