 Rank value is stored internally as a hexadecimal value, which is actually 'inverted' compared to the Player's experience of it - as this value ''decreases'', the game gets harder. Because it is more consistent with the user experience, it is customary to refer to the increase in game difficulty as 'increasing the Rank', even though that is not technically accurate to the internal implementation.

 ''Ibara'' also has several special Option Formations that can be obtained by fulfilling certain conditions. These special formations change the aiming and movement behavior of the Options. They may or may not be useful depending on the current situation. If a Special Formation is no longer of use to the Player, it can be canceled by pressing the Start button (see [[#Controls | Controls]] for more details).
-When a Special Option Formation is collected, it will change the behavior of all currently equipped Options of the same weapon type as the Option that has triggered the Special Formation. However, when a new Option is equipped, it will not inherit the special behavior regardless of its weapon type. For example, if the Player is equipped with three Machine Guns and triggers a Special Formation with a Rocket, only the Rocket carries the Special Formation property. If the Player then replaces a second Machine Gun with a Rocket Option that does not trigger the Special Formation once again, this Rocket does not have the Special Formation property either.

 For example, if the Player already has a single Option in the right position and collects a Machine Gun on the right side, it will be automatically assigned to the left or rear Option slots. However, if the Player already has three Options, the Machine Gun will try to mount on the right side. If the existing Option mounted to the right position is already a Machine Gun, and the Player already has three Options, the Player will gain 10,000 points instead.
