Deathsmiles II Makai no Merry Christmas (デススマイルズII 魔界のメリークリスマス) is a shmup by CAVE released in May 14 2009 for arcades on the CAVE PC hardware.

It was the first CAVE shmup to use 3D polygon models instead of their traditional pre-rendered 3D sprites.

Later, a remastered version of the game called Deathsmiles IIX was released for the XBOX 360.
