Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-heli.png Very Low 130 Low - Stage 1, 2, 3, 4
Harmless popcorn helicopter that dies in one hit. The helicopter formations directly aimed at the player can be lured around the screen to set up for bigger chains.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipturret1.png Low 800 Low Star Item Stage 2, 3, 5
A simple turret. Not a big deal. Gives slightly more points in stage 2 than the same turret in later stages.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipturret3.png Low 800 Low Star Item Stage 2, 3, 4, 5
A small turret that wouldn't be an issue on its own. However, since it appears with numerous other turrets on the big yellow ships, it can create some very hectic scenarios.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipturret2.png Low 800 Low Star Item Stage 2, 4
A slightly less dangerous turret. May only cause trouble in groups with other turrets. Gives a tad more points in stage 2 than the same turret in stage 4.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipcockpit.png Medium 800 - - Stage 2
A scenery object. However, as it blocks the path to the more dangerous core of the yellow ships, it can be quite a nuisance. Take out as soon as possible and focus on the core.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipcore.png Medium 800 Medium - Stage 2
The core of the yellow ships can be comparatively dangerous sometimes. The frequency of the bullet spread is high and is difficult to see in crowded scenarios. Don't underestimate!
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipcrate.png Medium 800 - Bee Medal Stage 2

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-mgreenplane.png Medium turrets: 200
base: 3,000		 Medium - Stage 2
Potentially dangerous aircraft that is very important for chaining due to the high score value of the base.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-redship.png Low 100 Low - Stage 2, 4
Another small fry. Shoot it down and focus on other things.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-hplane.png High turret: 420

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-mtank.png Medium 1,400 Medium - Stage 3

These enemies shoot a wide 7-way pattern and are quite resilient. Don't underestimate!
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-htank.png High 4,500 High - Stage 3
So to say the midboss of stage 3. Due to the high HP, you will barely be able to destroy it before it traps you with the nasty spread bullets from its back turrets. Thankfully, these can be sealed by pointblanking. This only leaves the line of bullets from the center to worry about.

A wooden crate. Move on.

No point reward, milking is futile!

Highest score value outside of bosses proper. Even short chains with this turret are worth a lot.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-bossheli.png Very Low - Low - Stage 1, 2, 3, 4
Harmless popcorn helicopter that dies in one hit. This red version appearing during the boss fight doesn't give any points so milking them is not possible.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-bosscore.png Extremely High 300,000 High - Stage 3
The core of the boss has an insane amount of health. The attack patterns are a bit weird but very consistent if you can find the right rhythm.

Homing missile fired by some midsize planes.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-sblueship.png Very Low 70 Low - Stage 4
Another popcorn enemy but much less dangerous than its purple counterpart due to a different movement behavior. The reason for this is that these blue ships are not homing in on the player but rather move down sideways.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-mpurpleplane.png Medium 510 Low - Stage 2, 4
Harmless midsize plane with a directly aimed line of bullets. Behavior is very easy to predict. Don't let it push you too far to the side.

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-missileship.png High 2,500 High - Stage 4
Very dangerous enemy that shoots a random volley during phase 1 and a stream of homing missiles during phase 2. As there are three of them at the end of the stage, they are conventionally called "Ichirō" (firstborn), "Jirō" (secondborn), and "Saburō" (thirdborn) by Japanese players.

Stage 4 Boss

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-boss1laser.png Medium left turret: 650
right turret: 660		 Medium - Stage 4
These turrets shoot a straight laser beam every time the main pod stops moving. For whatever reason the right turret is worth 10 points more.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-boss1.png High 1,250 High - Stage 4
After a while, the center will explode and an additional turret shows up firing a deadly stream of bullets. If both laser turrets are destroyed, the pod starts moving frantically and becomes even more dangerous.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s4-boss2.png Very High 440,000 Very High - Stage 4
Possibly the most difficult boss of the game if you don't have a very good plan laid out in advance. The big red orbs during phase 2 are particularly hard to dodge with Type C and require solid routing.

base: 270		 Medium - Stage 5
The most dangerous out of all the small tanks due to slightly more HP and a more deadly attack.

This part spawns right behind you and flies up to connect with the wing part. Once connected, the two parts will fire a combined attack that is extremely dangerous. Try to prevent this from happening at all costs.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-bluecartridge.png Medium 1,000 Medium - Stage 5

Shoots fast streams of bullets. Very lucrative for scoring purposes.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-bigshipcore.png High 38,000 High Power-Up Stage 5
The main cannon of the battle ship is also the most difficult one to deal with. Shoots a screen filling all-around attack. Also opens great scoring opportunities due to its unreasonably high score value.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-midboss.png High pod: 4,000
main: 4,500		 High - Stage 5
Very difficult midboss that consists of two parts. If you damage the main part too much, the pod will detach and hell breaks loose. Therefore, aim for the pod first and only then for the main body. The sooner you destroy this midboss, the more bonus enemies will spawn.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-blueship.png Very Low 100 Medium - Stage 5
These blue ships come in large groups and will stop moving relative to your position. After having stopped, they start spinning and fire tons of small bullets.

These turrets line up in the trenches in large groups and make your chain counter skyrocket.

Stage 5 Boss

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-bosscartridges.png Medium - Medium - Stage 5
Depending on the color, these cartridges have different attacks, but unlike the blue cartridges found throughout the stage, none of them gives any points.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-bossbighatch.png Medium 15,000 Medium Power-Up x2 Stage 5
You can only damage these retracting turrets when they are fully open. Their bullet spreads can be despawned by keeping them off screen. Once the boss reaches its final phase, the remaining turrets will blow up by themselves.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-bosssmallhatch.png Medium 800 Medium Power-Up Stage 5
When one of the retracting side turrets is destroyed, the respective smaller hatch next to it becomes active and fires mines when opening up.

DP-s5-bossbomb.png Low - Medium - Stage 5
Slowly drop down on you and release a 2-way (1st loop) or 4-way (2nd loop) spread, which can be sealed if the mine is too close.

DP-s5-bosscore.png Very High 500,000 Very High Power Up x1 or x2 Stage 5
The core of the final boss awaits you with a barrage of bullets, some of which, however, can be avoided with the use of safe spots. The final phase on max rank can be considered almost undodgeable and harder than anything the True Last Boss has to offer.

True Last Boss

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-tlbdebris.png Very Low - Low 10 - - Stage 2-5
Before the True Last Boss shows up, you can shoot the yellow structures to the side of the screen. Regardless of their size, they are all worth 10 points each thereby making even bigger chains not that important.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s5-tlbbit.png Medium 10,000 Medium - Stage 2-5
These bits come down and circle around the player. As long as you aren't moving, you're safe. Once they stop, move away. Can be chained as well.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
