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

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bigshipcockpit.png Medium 800 - - Stage 2

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...

base: 6,400		 High [Bomb] Stage 2, 4
The midboss section holds 3 of these very dangerous enemies. If you are playing for survival use a planned laser bomb. Very important for chaining.
This enemy drops a bomb item when destroyed without the use of a bomb during the loop only.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bombcarrier.png Low 1,200 Low Bomb Stage 2, 3, 4, 5
The item carrier has a comparatively high score value making it worthwhile to include early on in chains.

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-bossdisc.png Low - Low - Stage 2
These discs will be fired in streams and try to ram into you. Be sure to have an active laser and they can't reach you. Don't try to milk them as there is no point reward!
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s2-boss.png Very High 210,000 Medium - Stage 2

The front turret of the big carrier ships.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...

The side turret of the big carrier ships is much more dangerous shooting a tricky 5-way pattern.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-bigshipcrate.png Medium 500 - Bee Medal Stage 3
Scenery object. This crate holds a Bee Medal.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-bigshipbridge.png Medium 1,500 - - Stage 3

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

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-stwintank.png Low turret: 60

Towards the end of the stage there's a tricky part with these enemies coming from behind. Try to seal their twin bullets and eliminate them as soon as possible.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-purpleplane.png Medium 3,100 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.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-box.png Low 340 - - Stage 3
A wooden crate. Move on.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...

Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-hturret.png Medium 3,300 Medium - Stage 3

Scenery object but very important for chaining due to the unexpectedly high score value.
Enemy Health Score Danger level Item drop Appears in...
DP-s3-roof.png Low 190 - - Stage 3
