Galaga '88/Stages 19-22

The next four stages of the game will take place in either the second, third, fourth or fifth dimension, and feature Asteroids as obstacles for a third time; and like your second encounter with these moon rocks on Stages 11-14, they will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind when you destroy them because these stages, unlike 8-10, do not have the auto-scrolling nature.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen as two groups of six Zako and six Nin then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Nin in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at both of the Zako to kill them and three shots at both of the Nin to kill them, two more groups of six more Nin will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a second hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you. However, just before they do so, two of the Nin in the left group and two of the Nin in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship; once you fired three shots at all four of these Nin to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako and six Goei will fly into view from both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you. However, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Goei are in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship - and once you have afired a single shot at each of them to kill them, two more groups of six more Goei and six Boss Galagans will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you. However, just before they do so, two of the Goei are in the left group and two of the Boss Galagans in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship; once you have fired single shot at both of the Zako to kill them and two shots at both of the Boss Galagans to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Zako and four more Goei into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Zako and the four Goei are taking their places in formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so (but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it). Once you have fired off a total of three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was total of fifty-six of them to begin with, if you counting the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, the fifth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, seventeenth and eighteenth Nin, the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Goei, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack you ship, as a total of sixteen Galagans have broken away on this stage.

If you had let at least two of the ten remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves, while the other eight are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at this enormous Goei to kill it (for a thirteenth time, its eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow as you do so), it will leave a second blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fourth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to centre of the screen for a nineteenth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to twentieth stage.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, three Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen as two groups of six Zako fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, and taking up their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako will fly into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will abreak away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have afired a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Goei and the five Boss Galagans are ataking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of five Yellow Pan and five Red Pan will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in formation above you; however, just before they do so, one of the Yellow Pan in the left group and one of the Red Pan in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired total four shots at both of these Pan to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Goei, and two more Goei and two more Red Pan, into view from both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, aflying around above your ship as the six Goei and the two Red Pan are taking their places in the formation above you, and aflying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other two Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you are counting the fifth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-third and twenty-fourth Zako, the fifth Yellow Pan, and the fifth Red Pan, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship, as a total of ten Galagans have broken away on this stage (which is six less than in second dimension).

If you had let at least two of the eleven Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other nine are attacking you; once you fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a tenth time, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the five Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other four are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for fourth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan, (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship, at no cost to remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen as for a nineteenth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twentieth stage of the game.

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, three Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Kan and five Zako into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Kan and the five Zako are taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a second hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two more groups of six more Goei, and four more Kan and two more Goei, will fly into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Goei in the left group and and two of the Kan in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of them to kill them, two more groups of six more Goei and six Boss Galagans will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Goei in the left group and two of the Boss Galagans in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at both of the Goei to kill them and two shots at both of the Boss Galagans to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four Zako into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the eight Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off of the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off a total of three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-four of them to begin with, if you counting the tenth, eleventh, sixteenth and seventeenth Zako, the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Goei, the tenth and eleventh Kan, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship, as a total of twelve Galagans have broken away on this stage (it 2 more than in D3).

If you had let at least two of the ten remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other eight are attacking you; once you have fired off three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a fourth time, its eyes will change colour from yellow to green to purple as you do so), it will leave a second blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fourth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to centre of the screen for a nineteenth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to twentieth stage.

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, three Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at bottom of the screen as two groups of six 4th-dimension Kan and six 1st-dimension Zako fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the 4th-dimension Kan in the left group and two of the 1st-dimension Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of them to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Zako and one Yellow Pan into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the eight 1st-dimension Zako and the two Yellow Pan are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but if you ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired total three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans and three 1st-dimension Goei, and two more 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, two more 1st-dimension Zako and a fourth 1st-dimension Goei, into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing what is a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, the four 1st-dimension Goei, and the two 1st-dimension Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off of the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off a total of three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will then escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Zako and a third Yellow Pan, and a fourth Yellow Pan and four 1st-dimension Nin, into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing what is a fourth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Zako, the two Yellow Pan, and the four 1st-dimension Nin are taking their places in formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but yet again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four more 1st-dimension Nin into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Goei and the four 1st-dimension Nin are taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but for a fourth time, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty of them to begin with, if you count the fifth and sixth 4th-dimension Kan, and the fifth and sixth 1st-dimension Zako, who had decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship, as only four Galagans have broken away on this stage (this is eight less than in the fourth dimension).

If you had let at least two of the eight 1st-dimension Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves after the nine stages while the other six are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for an eleventh time, its eyes and tail will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), it will leave a second blue Warp Capsule behind. Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the four Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while other th three are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fourth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at of any time in the stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to centre of the screen, and dematerialize as it proceeds to twentieth stage.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Zako and five Nin into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Zako and the five Nin are ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six more Nin will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in th formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Nin in the left group and two of the Nin in the right group will break away from the formation, and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a three shots at all four of these Nin to kill them, two more groups made of six more Zako and six Goei will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Goei in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of them to kill them, two more groups made of six more Goei and six Boss Galagans will fly into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in th formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Goei that are in the left group and two of the Boss Galagans are in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at both of these Goei and two shots at both of these Boss Galagans to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Zako and four more Goei into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Zako and the four Goei are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off of the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans up the formation (there was a total of fifty-four of them to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Nin, the tenth and eleventh Zako, the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Goei, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans, who had all decided to break away from that formation on this stage), will begin to attack your ship.

If you had let at least two of the ten remaining Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves, while the other eight are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a fourteenth time, its eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in that previous stage, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of those four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fifth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twentieth time, and dematerialize as it will proceed to the twenty-first stage of the game.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two groups of six Zako fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Zako are in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups made of five Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Goei and the five Boss Galagans are taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of five Red Pan and five Yellow Pan will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they can do so, one of the Red Pan in the left group and one of the Yellow Pan in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a four shots at both of these Pan to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Goei, and two more Goei and two more Red Pan, into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while afiring a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the six Goei and the two Red Pan are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off of the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired a three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-third and twenty-fourth Zako, the fifth Red Pan, and the fifth Yellow Pan, who had all decided to break away from the formation on this stage) will begin to attack your ship, as that total of ten Galagans have broken away.

If you had let at least two of the eleven Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves, while the other nine are attacking you; once you fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for eleventh time, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you didn't manage to collect second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at bottom of the screen, adjacent to that first one - and if you had let any of the five Boss Galagans in this formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other four are all attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fifth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship, at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twentieth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-first stage of the game - and there are only nine more stages to go now.

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Kan and five Zako up into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Kan and the five Zako are ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you, and taking their places in formation above you; however, just before they can do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of these Zako to kill them, two more groups of six Goei, and four more Kan and two more Goei, will fly into view on that left side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Goei in that left group and two of the Kan in that right group will break away from the formation, and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of them to kill them, two more groups of six more Goei and six Boss Galagans will fly into view on that right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Goei is in the left group and two of the Boss Galagans in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at both of these Goei to kill them, and two shots at both of these Boss Galagans to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Zako into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the eight Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-four of them to begin with, if you count the tenth, eleventh, sixteenth and seventeenth Zako, the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Goei, the third and fourth Kan, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans, who had all decided to break away from the formation on this game stage) will begin to attack your ship.

If you had let at least two of the ten remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other eight are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a fifth time, its eyes will change colour from yellow to green to purple as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are all attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fifth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twentieth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-first stage - with only nine more to go.

Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have fired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two groups of six 4th-dimension Kan and six 1st-dimension Zako fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the 4th-dimension Kan in the left group and two of the 1st-dimension Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off a single shot at all four of them to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of two Pink Pan and four more 1st-dimension Zako into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two Pink Pan and the eight 1st-dimension Zako are ataking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, two more 1st-dimension Zako and a 1st-dimension Goei, and two more 1st-dimension Boss Galagans and three more 1st-dimension Goei, into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, the two 1st-dimension Zako, and the four 1st-dimension Goei are all taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of a third Pink Pan and four 1st-dimension Nin, and a fourth Pink Pan and four more 1st-dimension Zako, into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two Pink Pan, the four 1st-dimension Nin and the four 1st-dimension Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but yet again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four more 1st-dimension Nin into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Goei and the four 1st-dimension Nin are all taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but for a fourth time, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the fifth and sixth 4th-dimension Kan, and the fifth and sixth 1st-dimension Zako, who had all decided to break away from the formation on this stage) will begin to attack your ship, afor only four Galagans have broken away.

If you had let at least two of the eight 1st-dimension Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create a enormous version of themselves while the other six are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a twelfth time, its eyes and tail will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect that second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to that first one - and if you had let any of the four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are all attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired off a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a fifth time, if your triple ship was reduced to double or single ship at of any time in the stage as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off of the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twentieth time, and dematerialize as it then proceeds to the twenty-first stage of the game.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have afired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Zako and five Nin into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Zako and the five Nin are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired a three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, a third group of twelve more Nin will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, four of the Nin will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off three shots at all four of them to kill them, a third Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group of five more Zako and five Goei into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Zako and the five Goei are ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at this third Enormous Babito to kill it, a fifth group of five more Goei and five Boss Galagans will fly into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, one of the Goei and one of the Boss Galagans will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired single shot at the Goei to kill it, and two shots at the Boss Galagan to kill it, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group of four more Zako and four more Goei into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Zako and the four Goei are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but yet again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired off a three shots at this fourth Enormous Babito to kill it, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty of them to begin with, if you count the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth Nin, the tenth Goei, and the fifth Boss Galagan, who had decided to break away from this formation), will begin to attack ship.

If you had let at least two of the nine remaining Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other seven are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for fifteenth time, its eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other three are all attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a sixth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in this stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan, (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off of the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-first time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-second stage - which is the fifth bonus stage in the game, and features thirty-six Dokuro and four Boss Galagans dancing to a waltz-type tune from Stage 3 (which, once again, was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have afired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two groups of six Zako fly into view on left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you and ataking their places in formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Zako in the left group and two of the Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off single shot at all four of them to kill them, an Enormous Babito will escort a third group of ten more Zako into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the ten Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at this Enormous Babito to kill it, another Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group of five Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on the left side of the screen, before acircling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Goei and the five Boss Galagans are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at this second Enormous Babito to kill it, fifth group of five Yellow Pan and five Red Pan will fly into view on the right side of the screen before acircling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, one of the Yellow Pan and one of the Red Pan will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired four shots at both of these Pan to kill them, a third Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group of six more Goei and two more Red Pan into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the six Goei and the two Red Pan are taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but yet again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired a three shots at this third Enormous Babito to kill it, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (as with this stage in th second dimension, there was a total of fifty of them to begin with, if you counting the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, who had all decided to break away from the formation), will begin to attack you ship.

If you had let at least two of the eleven Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves, while the other nine are attacking you; once you fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a twelfth time, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect that second one in either of those two previous stages, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of the five Boss Galagans in this formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other four are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a sixth time here, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in the stage as a result of being hit by any Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by any Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for twenty-first time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-second stage - which is the fifth bonus stage in the game, and features thirty-six Hiyoko and four Boss Galagans dancing to a reprise of the old waltz-type tune from Stage 3 (which, once again, was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have afired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Kan and five Zako into view on the left and right sides of th screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Kan and the five Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired a three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, a third group of twelve Zako will fly into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a second hail of bullets down at you, and taking up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, four of the Zako will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of them to kill them, a fourth group of three more Kan and nine Goei will fly into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, one of the Kan and three of the Goei will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of them to kill them, a third Enormous Babito will escort a fifth group of five more Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the five Goei and the five Boss Galagans are ataking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but once again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at this third Enormous Babito to kill it, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort sixth group of eight more Zako into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the eight Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but yet again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired total three shots at this fourth Enormous Babito to kill it, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, the sixth Kan, the seventh, eighth and ninth Goei, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship, as eight Galagans broke away.

If you had let at least two of the thirteen remaining Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create enormous version of themselves while the other eleven are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a sixth time, its eyes will change colour from yellow to green to purple as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to a collect second one in either of the two previous stages, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to that first one - and if you had let any of the five Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while the other four are attacking you either because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a sixth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in this stage, as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan, (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off of the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-first time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-second stage - which is the fifth bonus stage in the game, and features thirty-six Babito and four Boss Galagans dancing to reprise of the waltz-type tune from Stage 3 (which, once again, was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Asteroids will appear above it; once you have afired eight shots at one of these Asteroids to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to that first one, as two groups of six 4th-dimension Kan and six 1st-dimension Zako fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a hail of bullets down at you and taking their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the 4th-dimension Kan in the left group and two of the 1st-dimension Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot at all four of them to kill them, an Enormous Babito will escort a third group of two Red Pan and eight more 1st-dimension Zako into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing another hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two Red Pan and the eight 1st-dimension Zako are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired a three shots at this Enormous Babito to kill it, another Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group of four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, four 1st-dimension Goei, and two more 1st-dimension Zako into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans, the four 1st-dimension Goei and the two 1st-dimensional Zako are ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but once again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at this second Enormous Babito to kill it, a third Enormous Babito will escort a fifth group of two more Red Pan, four more 1st-dimension Zako, and four 1st-dimension Nin into view on the right side of the screen before acircling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two Red Pan, the four 1st-dimension Zako and the four 1st-dimension Nin are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so; but yet again, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at this third Enormous Babito to kill it, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four more 1st-dimension Nin into view on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four 1st-dimension Goei and the four 1st-dimension Nin are taking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but for a fourth time, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at this fourth Enormous Babito to kill it, the other three Asteroids will disappear if you have not destroyed them already and any remaining Galagans in the formation (as with this stage in the second and third dimensions, there was a total of fifty of them to begin with, if you count the fifth and sixth 4th-dimension Kan, and the fifth and sixth 1st-dimension Zako, who had decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship.

If you had let at least two of the eight 1st-dimension Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create a enormous version of themselves while the other six are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a thirteenth time, its eyes and tail will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), it will leave a second blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect a second one in either of the two previous stages, or missed the one that the first Asteroid you destroyed left behind as it fell). Once you have collected this second blue Warp Capsule, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of those four 1st-dimension Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams, while the other three are all attacking you either, because your triple ship is too big for them to beam up and take back up to the top of the screen. Once you have fired a single shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a sixth time, if your triple ship was reduced to double or single ship at of any time in the stage as a result of being hit by a Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down on you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying away off of the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for twenty-first time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-second stage - which is the fifth bonus stage in the game, and features thirty-six Eirian and four Boss Galagans dancing to the waltz-type tune from Stage 3 (again, by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, the text "THAT'S GALACTIC DANCIN'" will appear above it as the updated version of the original "Challenging Stage" introduction is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time; a Dokuro will then fly into view on the right side of the screen before hovering in place for a few seconds, flying leftwards, hovering in place for a few seconds again, flying leftwards again, and hovering in place for a few seconds yet again before flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired shot at this Dokuro to kill it, you will receive a 2200-point bonus - and a group of seven more Dokuro will then fly into view on the right side of the screen before curving upwards, circling around five times, curving downwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all seven of these Dokuro to kill them, you will receive another 2200-point bonus; a Boss Galagan will then fly into view on the left side of the screen before hovering in place for a few seconds, flying rightwards, hovering in place for a few seconds again, flying rightwards again, and hovering in place for a few seconds yet again before flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired two shots at this Boss Galagan to kill it, you will receive a third 2200-point bonus - and another group of seven more Dokuro will then fly into view on the left side of the screen before curving upwards, circling around five times, curving downwards, and flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all seven of these Dokuro to kill them, you will receive a fourth 2200-point bonus; another Boss Galagan will then fly into view on the right side of the screen before hovering in place for a few seconds, flying leftwards, hovering in place for a few seconds again, flying leftwards again, and hovering in place for a few seconds yet again before flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired off two shots at this second Boss Galagan to kill it, you will receive a third 2200-point bonus - and a third group of seven more Dokuro will then fly into view on the right side of the screen before curving upwards, circling around five times, curving downwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all seven of these Dokuro to kill them, you will receive a sixth 2200-point bonus; two more Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen, before hovering in place for a few seconds, flying towards each other, hovering in place for a few seconds again, flying away from each other, and hovering in place for a few seconds yet again before flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired two shots at both of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a seventh 2200-point bonus - and two more groups of seven more Dokuro will then fly into view on both the left and right sides of the screen before curving upwards, circling around five times, curving downwards, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all fourteen of these Dokuro to kill them, you will receive an eighth and final 2200-point bonus; if you managed to fire a shot at all thirty-six of the Dokuro, and two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans, to kill them, the text "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 10000 PTS" will appear on the screen, as that updated version of that original "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time. However, if you missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" will appear on the screen ("XX" being the number of Galagans you managed to kill) - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all on this stage, you will receive a fifth "Secret Bonus" (or a first, second, third or fourth, if you decided to move the joystick, press the Firing Button, or even press the 1 or 2 Player Buttons on Stages 3, 7, 14 or 18) of 10000 points. This is also the second-last bonus stage in game.

If you managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules in the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at bottom of the screen and explode (creating another "dimensional rift" in the process) and the text "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 20000 PTS" will appear on the screen as your ship passes through the rift to the third dimension; however, if you had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule over the course of the three previous stages, it will rise up from its position at the bottom of the screen and simply dissipate in small blowup as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-third stage (still in this second dimension) - and if you did not manage to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize and proceed to the twenty-third stage (once again, still in this second dimension) as if it had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, the text "THAT'S GALACTIC DANCIN'" will appear above it as the updated version of the original "Challenging Stage" introduction is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time; two groups of five Hiyoko will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before curving rightwards, circling around twice, curving leftwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all ten of these Hiyoko to kill them, you will receive 2600-point bonus - and two more groups of five more Hiyoko will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acurving rightwards, circling around twice, acurving leftwards, and flying away off of the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all ten of these Hiyoko to kill them, you will receive another 2600-point bonus; two more groups of five more Hiyoko will then fly into view on th left and right sides of the screen before curving rightwards, circling around twice, curving leftwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired one shot at all ten of these Hiyoko to kill them, you will receive a third 2600-point bonus - and two more groups of three more Hiyoko and two Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before curving rightwards, circling around twice, curving leftwards, and flying away off of the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired off a single shot at all six of these Hiyoko and two shots at all four of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a fourth and final 2600-point bonus; if you managed to fire off one shot at all thirty-six of the Hiyoko and two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the text "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 15000 PTS" (for a third time, is as opposed to 10000 now) will appear on the screen as that updated version of the original "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time. However, if you had missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" ("XX" being the number of Galagans you managed to kill) will appear on the screen - and if you had refrained from touching the controls at all, you will receive fifth "Secret Bonus" (or a first, second, third or fourth, if you had decided to move the joystick, press the Firing Button, or even press the 1 or 2 Player Buttons on Stages 3, 7, 14 or 18), of 15000 points (for a fourth time, it is as opposed to 10000 now).

If you managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules in the three previous stages, they will rise up from their position at the bottom of the screen and explode (creating a third "dimensional rift" in the process) and the text "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 30000 PTS" will appear on the screen as your ship passes through this rift to the fourth dimension; however, if you'd only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule over the course of the three previous stages, it will rise up from its position at the bottom of the screen and simply dissipate in small blowup as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-third stage (still in this third dimension) - and if you didn't manage to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all over the course of the three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize and proceed to th twenty-third stage (once again, still in this third dimension) as if it had only collected one blue Warp Capsule.

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, the text "THAT'S GALACTIC DANCIN'" will appear above it as the updated version of the original "Challenging Stage" introduction is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for fifth time; two Babito will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around above and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of these Babito to kill them, you will receive a 3000-point bonus - and two more groups of four more Babito will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around, curving downwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Babito to kill them, you will receive another 3000-point bonus; two more Babito will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of these Babito to kill them, you will receive a third 3000-point bonus - and two more groups of four more Babito will then fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before circling around, curving downwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Babito to kill them, you will receive a fourth 3000-point bonus; two Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a total two shots at both of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a fifth 3000-point bonus - and two more groups of four Babito will then fly into view from both the left and right sides of the screen, before circling around, curving upwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired off a shot at all eight of these Babito to kill them, you will receive a sixth 3000-point bonus; two more Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired two shots at these two Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a seventh 3000-point bonus - and two more groups of four more Babito will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around, curving upwards, and flying away off the opposite left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Babito to kill them, you will receive an eighth and final 3000-point bonus; if you managed to fire a shot at all thirty-six of the Babito and two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the text "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 20000 PTS" (once again, this value is as opposed to 10000 and 15000 now) will appear on the screen as the updated version of the original "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time. However, if you missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" ("XX" being the number of Galagans you managed to kill), will appear on the screen - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all here, you will receive a fifth "Secret Bonus" (or first, second, third or fourth, if you had decided to move the joystick, press the Firing Button, or even press the 1 or 2 Player Buttons on Stages 3, 7, 14 or 18) of 20000 points.

If you managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules in the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at bottom of the screen and explode (creating a fourth "dimensional rift" in the process) and the text "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 40000 PTS" will appear on the screen as your ship passes through the rift to the fifth dimension. However, if you had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule over the course of the three previous stages, it will rise up from its position at the bottom of the screen and simply dissipate in small blowup as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-third stage (still in this fourth dimension) - and if you didn't manage to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in the three previous stages, your ship will dematerialize and proceed to the twenty-third stage (once again, still in this fourth dimension), as if it had only managed to collect one solitary blue Warp Capsule.

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, the text "THAT'S GALACTIC DANCIN'" will appear above it, as the updated version of the original "Challenging Stage" introduction is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time; a group of ten Eirian will then fly into view from the right side of the screen, before double-circling around, continuing to fly downwards, curving upwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired off shot at all ten of these Eirian to kill them, you will receive a 3400-point bonus - and a second group of ten more Eirian will then fly into view on th left side of the screen before double-circling around, continuing to fly downwards, curving upwards, and flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired off shot at all ten of these Eirian to kill them, you will receive another 3400-point bonus; a third group of ten more Eirian will then fly down into view from the top of the screen before flying back upwards once they reach the bottom, double-circling around, and flying away off the top of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all ten of these Eirian to kill them, you will receive this third 3400-point bonus - and a fourth group of six more Eirian and four Boss Galagans will then fly down into view from the top of the screen before flying back upwards once they reach the bottom, double-circling around, and flying away off the top of the screen. Once you have fired single shot at all six of these Eirian and two shots at all four of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a fourth and final 3400-point bonus; if you managed to fire a shot at all thirty-six of the Eirian and two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the text "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 25000 PTS" (as opposed to 10000, 15000 and 20000 now) will appear on the screen as the updated version of the "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a fifth time. However, if you'd missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" ("XX" being the number of Galagans you managed to kill) will appear on the screen - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all, you will receive a fifth (or a first, second, third or fourth, if you had decided to touch the controls on Stages 3, 7, 14 or 18), of 25000 points (once again, this value it is as opposed to 10000, 15000 and 20000 now).

If you managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules in the three previous stages, they will rise up from their position at the bottom of the screen and explode (but the blast will not create a fifth "dimensional rift" in the process) as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to th twenty-third stage in this fifth dimension; and if you only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule over the course of the three previous stages, it will rise up from its position at the bottom of the screen and simply dissipate in a small blowup as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-third stage (once again, still in this fifth dimension) as if it had actually managed to collect a second blue Warp Capsule in the three previous stages. And even if you did not manage to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all over the course of the three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize and proceed to the twenty-third stage (yet again, still in this fifth dimension) as if it had actually managed to collect either one or two blue Warp Capsules over th course of the three previous stages - as there is no sixth or seventh dimension.
