Versions:

Arcade Souky is of course the default.

Then you have:

- the Saturn port
- Ps1 port arcade mode
- Terra Diver (the US region of the arcade board.)

Each of these 3 is mechanically identical to the original arcade release but has a lower difficulty. However if you raise the difficulty by one level in Options, it is the same as arcade.

Finally there is the Ps1 arrange. It's around the same difficulty as the console ports but has the much stronger 4th ship, an extra stage at the end, voice acting, and has an ‘every’ extend system instead of just 2 extends.

Bomb bonus:

Bonuses are awarded for every bomb pickup once the player has reached 7 bombs (reaching 7 does nothing). Due to a bug, the actual stock also stops at 7 (it should correctly stop displaying at 9 and allow infinite stock, just like Mahou Daisakusen). Failing to pick up a bomb item clears the bonus index to 0, requiring a full restart of the bonus. Using a bomb or dying does not reset the bonus.

The bonuses are 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000, 32000, 655371. Due to a bug, the bonus index is incremented twice by accident, so you only see 1000, 4000, 16000, 655371.

Due to yet another bug, the bonus index is incorrectly capped at 6 (classical off-by-one due to confusing max bounds and array element count), exposing the beginning of a different data table as the final bonus amount (leading to the last bonus being worth 655371)
