 The first '''weapon capsule''' of the game appears at the end of the zako rush; blow it open to collect a '''Bomb''' module.

 ** You will also continually gain a tractor beam's '''passive +10pts bonus''' for carrying a weapon capsule, making it useful for scoring as well as survival.
 * There is often a weapon capsule containing a '''Bomb''' that appears just before a difficult '''mid-boss''' section, or during sections that send swarms of enemies shooting at the player. However, the player might already have a Thruster equipped that they don't wish to sacrifice. A neat way to '''save your Thruster''' module but still take advantage of the Bomb is to fly to the '''top of the screen''', '''un-equip the module''' (C button), then '''collect the Bomb'''. They can then time their bomb right at the appearance of the mid-boss, then '''retrieve their Thruster''' before it scrolls off-screen.

 At the start of the first stage, many [[File:Dogyuun_EN-001.gif]] will start coming down at the player from the '''very top of the screen''' (about 25). They don't move very quickly and are not particularly aggressive. You can pretty easily move from the left of the screen to the right of the screen shooting the beam and not risk taking damage.
