 The Gravity Hole Bomb serves as an emergency answer to overwhelming bullet counts, as it absorbs all bullets on-screen and converts them into a powerful explosive attack. This attack is used by holding The Button until the GHB meter is completely filled.
-The Bomb is powerful enough to destroy most enemies that are on screen, but it has an extremely long cooldown time before the weapon can be used again. Note that Mosquito Barrier and Gravity Hole Bomb utilize the exact same resource, meaning that if the GHB Meter is recharging, '''the player cannot utilize Gravity Hole Bomb ''or'' Mosquito Barrier!'''

So it`s best to think of strategies to manage the GHB properly if going for a 1cc.

 ''Mars Matrix'' takes advantage of '''four different gameplay mechanics''' that are all controlled with '''a single button''' (The Button). Note that in the Dreamcast port of the game, you can set dedicated buttons for the Rapid Shot and Piercing Cannon commands, but not on the Arcade version.
-The game is played in a single [[loop]] through six stages, each with a challenging [[Boss]] awaiting at the end.

 The main difference between the two ships is the '''shot type''' and the '''movement speed'''.
-The 01 offers an average movement speed combined with a spread shot that fans outward from the ship, giving it good screen control and highly precise micro-movement ability, but its slower movement speed can also make it more challenging to chain together EXP cubes, and it might have to weave through tight bullet patterns without the ability to macro-dodge out of the way entirely.

-The 02, meanwhile, offers a concentrated straight shot and high movement speed, allowing it the ability to efficiently move into position and consistently damage targets from any distance, as well as enabling certain cube chains that the 01 isn't fast enough to chain together, with its higher movement speed also requiring a higher degree of control from the player in order to avoid slamming into bullets.
