Galaga '88/Stages 23-26

The next four stages of the game will, once again, take place in either the second, third, fourth or fifth dimension, and feature Ameobas as obstacles; however, unlike your first encounter with them on Stages 8-10 (only in the third dimension), they will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind when you destroy them because these stages do not have the auto-scrolling nature.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba 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 Nin into view on 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 ten 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 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 Nin and six Pink Don will fly into view on the left and right sides 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 Nin in the left group and two of the Pink Don 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, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five Zako into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the ten 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 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 groups of six 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 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 more Zako and four more Goei into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Zako and the four Goei 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 their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two to begin with, if you count the fifteenth and sixteenth Nin, the fifth and sixth Pink Don, the fifth and sixth Goei, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans, who all decided to break away from the formation), will begin to attack your ship.

If you had let any of the eight remaining Goei in the formation live, they will meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves, while the other six are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at th enormous Goei to kill it (for a sixteenth time, its eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow 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 the bottom of the screen adjacent to the first one - and if you had let any of th four remaining Boss Galagans in the formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while th 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 a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a seventh 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 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-third time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to twenty-fourth stage.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Ameoba 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 on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling 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 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 both of them to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five more Zako and five Pink Pan into view from 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 five Zako and the five Pink Pan are taking up their places in the formation above you, and flying away off of 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 five Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on the left and right sides of the screen, before circling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above you ship as the five Goei and the five Boss Galagans are taking their places in 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 groups of six more Pink Pan and six Green Pan will fly into view from the left and right sides 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, two of the Pink Pan in the left group, and two of the Green Pan in the right group, will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off four shots at all four of these Pan to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Goei and four 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 Goei and the four 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 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, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-two to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, the sixth and seventh Pink Pan, and the fifth and sixth Green Pan, who'd all decided to break away from this formation), will begin to attack.

If you had let any 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 have fired three shots at this enormous Goei to kill it (for a thirteenth 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 the 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 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 seventh 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 the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into triple ship and at no cost to your remaining lives. Your newly-retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of this screen for the twenty-third time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-fourth stage.

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba 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 Kan and 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 formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Kan 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 them to kill them, two Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five more Zako into view from 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 ten Zako 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 three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six Goei, and three more Kan and three more Goei, will fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling 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 one of the Goei and one of the Kan in the right group, will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired single shot at all four of them to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five more Goei and five Boss Galagans into view on the left and right sides of the screen, before acircling around while firing fourth 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 th 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 fire three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five Green Pan and five more Zako into view from 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 five Green Pan 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 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, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-four to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth and ninth Kan, the fifth and sixth Zako, and the fifth, sixth, and ninth Goei, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack.

If you had let any of the eleven remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other nine are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a seventh time, its eyes will change colour from yellow 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 the 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 a seventh 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 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-third time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to twenty-fourth stage.

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba 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 Green Pan into view on 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 ten Green 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 your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups made up of a 4th-dimension Kan and four 1st-dimension Zako, and five more 1st-dimension Kan, into view on both 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 six 4th-dimension Kan and the four 1st-dimension 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 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, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of an additional Green Pan, two more 1st-dimension Zako, a 1st-dimension Goei and a 1st-dimension Boss Galagan into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a third hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two Green Pan, the four 1st-dimension Zako, the two 1st-dimension Goei and the two 1st-dimension 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 yet again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of a 5th-dimension Kan and four more 1st-dimension Goei, and a second 5th-dimension Kan and four more 1st-dimension Zako, into view on the left and right sides of the screen before circling around while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the two 5th-dimension Kan, the four 1st-dimension Goei 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 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, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four 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 ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they have done so - but for a fifth 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, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of forty-eight of them to begin with, and none of them have decided to break away from the formation in this dimension) will all begin to attack your ship.

If you had let any of the ten 1st-dimension 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 fourteenth 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 either of those two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans in the formation live, neither of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while th other one is 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 seventh 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 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 th screen and dematerialize as it proceeds to twenty-fourth stage.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect 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 that first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Nin into view on 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 ten Nin 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 three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five more Nin and five Pink Don 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 five Nin and the five Pink Don are taking their places in formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of the screen once they've 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 groups of six Zako will fly into view on the left side of the screen before circling around while firing this 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 Zako in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired a single shot four of these Zako to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five Boss Galagans and five Goei into view from on the right 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 Boss Galagans and the five 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 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 four more Goei and four more Zako into view from on the right side of the screen before circling around while firing fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Goei and the four Zako are taking their places in 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 fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty of them to begin with here, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako), will begin to attack your ship.

If you had let any of the nine 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 this enormous Goei to kill it (for a seventeenth time in the game, 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 the previous stage, or missed the one that the Ameoba 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 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 an eighth 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 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fourth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-fifth stage of the game - and there are only five more left.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect second one in the previous stage).

Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six Pink Pan and 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 up their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Pink Pan in the left group and two of the Zako are in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have afired four shots at both of the Pink Pan to kill them and a single shot at both of the Zako to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five Goei and five Boss Galagans into view from 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 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 their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more groups of six Green Pan and six more Pink Pan will fly into view from the left 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, two of the Green Pan in the left group and two of the Pink Pan in the right group will break away from formation, and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired four shots at all four of these Pan to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more Goei and four Nin into view on right side of the screen before circling around while firing fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Goei and the four 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 their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired a total of three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, any remaining Galagans in the formation (as with the previous stage in this dimension, there was total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Pink Pan, the seventeenth and eighteenth Zako, and the fifth and sixth Pink Pan, who all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack.

If you had let any of the nine 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 a fourteenth 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 a second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Ameoba 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 those 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 off a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for an eighth 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 any Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down upon 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fourth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-fifth stage of the game - and there are only five more to go.

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect 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 into view on 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 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 total 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 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 is in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired off single shot at both of these Zako to kill them, two more groups of six Goei, and three more Kan and three more 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 their places in the formation above you - however, just before they do so, two of the Goei in the left group and one of the Goei and one of the Kan in the right group will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired single shot at all four of them to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of five more Goei and five Boss Galagans into view from on the right 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 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 four Green Pan and four more Zako into view on th 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 Green Pan and the four Zako are ataking their places in the formation above you, and flying away off the bottom of th 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, any remaining Galagans in this formation (as with this stage in third dimension, there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, the fifth, sixth and ninth Goei, and the sixth Kan, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will begin to attack your ship, as ten Galagans had broke away.

If you had let any of the eleven remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create an enormous version of themselves while the other nine are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for an eighth 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 Ameoba 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 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 an eighth 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fourth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-fifth stage of the game - and there are only five more to go.

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (if you did not manage to collect 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 that first one as two Enormous Babito escort two groups of five Red Pan into view from the left and right sides of the screen before acircling around while firing a first hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the ten 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 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 Enormous Babito will escort two more groups up of five 4th-dimension Kan, and a sixth 4th-dimension Kan and four 1st-dimension Zako, into view on that right side of the screen before acircling around while firing a second hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the six 4th-dimension Kan and the four 1st-dimension 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 once again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of an additional Red Pan, two more 1st-dimension Zako, a 1st-dimension Goei, and a 1st-dimension Boss Galagan 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 th two Red Pan, the four 1st-dimension Zako, the two 1st-dimension Goei and the two 1st-dimension 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 yet again, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of a 5th-dimension Kan and four more 1st-dimension Goei, and another 5th-dimension Kan 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 5th-dimension Kan, the four 1st-dimension Goei 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 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, two more Enormous Babito will escort two more groups of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four 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 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 fifth time, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have afired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, any remaining Galagans in the formation (for as with the previous stage, there was a total of forty-eight of them to begin with, and none of them have decided to break away from the formation in this dimension) will begin to attack your ship. This will be the second time that no Galagans have broken away from formation since Stage 2.

If you had let any of the ten 1st-dimension 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 fifteenth 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 a second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Amoeba 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 either of those two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans in the formation live, neither of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while th other one is 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 shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for an eighth time, if your triple ship was reduced to a double or single ship at any time in this stage as 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 the twenty-fourth time, and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-fifth stage - and there are only five left.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (only if you did not manage to collect 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 Enormous Babito escort two groups of 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 ten Nin 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've fired three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, a third group of six more Nin and six Pink Don 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 and two of the Pink Don will break away from the formation and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired three shots at both of the Nin to kill them and single shot at both of the Pink Don to kill them, a third Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group of ten Zako 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 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 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 up of six 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 their places in the formation above you; however, just before they do so, two of the Goei and two of the Boss Galagans 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, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group of five more Zako and five more Goei into view from 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 five Zako and the five Goei are taking their places in th 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 fourth Enormous Babito to kill it, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty-four of them to begin with, if you are counting the fifteenth and sixteenth Nin, the fifth and sixth Pink Don, the fifth and sixth Goei, and the fifth and sixth Boss Galagans), will abegin to attack your ship.

If you had let any of the nine remaining Goei in this formation live, they will meld with each other to create 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 eighteenth time, its eyes will change color from blue to green to yellow as you do so), it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (once again, if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Ameoba 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 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 ninth and final time, if your triple ship was reduced to double or single ship at any time in this stage as 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fifth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-sixth stage - which is the sixth and final bonus stage in the game, and features ten Zako, fourteen Goei, twelve Hae, and four Boss Galagans dancing to a march-type tune (for a final time, was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (only if you did not manage to collect 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 into view on 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 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 their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired off three shots at both of these Enormous Babito to kill them, a third group of six more Zako and six Pink Pan will fly into view on th right 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, two of the Zako and two of the Pink Pan 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 four shots at both of the Pink Pan to kill them, a third Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group of five Goei and five Boss Galagans 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 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 third Enormous Babito to kill it, a fifth group of six more Pink Pan and six Green Pan will fly into view on th 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, two of the Pink Pan and two of the Green Pan will break away from the formation, and fly directly towards your ship. Once you have fired four shots at all four of these Pan to kill them, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group of four more Goei and four more Nin into view on the left side of the screen, before acircling around while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you, flying around above your ship as the four Goei and the four 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 fourth Enormous Babito to kill it, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you count the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Zako, the fifth, sixth, eleventh and twelfth Pink Pan, and the fifth and sixth Green Pan, who had broken away) will abegin to attack ship.

If you had let any of the nine 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 a fifteenth time, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will leave a second blue Warp Capsule behind (once again, if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Ameoba 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 th 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 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 ninth and final 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 upon you by a Galagan (or even being crashed into by an Enormous Babito that was flying from away off the bottom of the screen), you should collect it, as it will instantly transform it back into a triple ship, and at no cost to your remaining lives. Your retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fifth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-sixth stage - which is the sixth and final bonus stage in the game, and features twelve Zako, twelve Goei, twelve Zou, and four Boss Galagans dancing to a march-type tune (for a final time, was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 4
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (only if you did not manage to collect 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 up of six Kan and 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 Kan 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 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 acircling 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 three shots at this Enormous Babito to kill it, a fourth group of four more Kan and six 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, two of the Kan and two of the Goei 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, another 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 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 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 sixth group of five Green Pan and five Zako 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 five Green Pan 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 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, any remaining Galagans in the formation (and like the previous stage in this dimension, there was a total of fifty-two of them to begin with, if you are counting the fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth Kan, the fifth and sixth Zako, and the fifth and sixth Goei, who had all decided to break away from the formation) will abegin to attack ship.

If you had let any of the nine remaining Goei in the formation live, they will to 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 a ninth 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 again, if you did not manage to collect second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Ameoba 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 five Boss Galagans in this formation live, none of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams while 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 off one shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a ninth and final 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 any Galagan, or a bullet that was fired down upon you by any 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to the centre of the screen for a twenty-fifth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-sixth stage - which is the sixth and final bonus stage in the game, and features four Boss Galagans, sixteen Choucho, ten Goei, and ten Zako dancing to a march-type tune (for a final time, composed by Hiroyuki Kawada).

Dimension 5
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, an Amoeba will appear above it and start moving back and forth; once you have managed to fire sixteen shots at this Amoeba to destroy it, it will leave another blue Warp Capsule behind (only if you did not manage to collect 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 Pink Pan into view on 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 ten Pink 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 your 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, a third Enormous Babito will escort a third group up of four 1st-dimension Zako and six 4th-dimension Kan 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 four 1st-dimension Zako and the six 4th-dimension Kan 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 total three shots at this third Enormous Babito to kill it, a fourth Enormous Babito will escort a fourth group it of two more Pink Pan, four more 1st-dimension Zako, two 1st-dimension Goei, and two 1st-dimension 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 two Pink Pan, the four 1st-dimension Zako, the two 1st-dimension Goei and the two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans 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 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, a fifth Enormous Babito will escort fifth group of two 5th-dimension Kan, five more 1st-dimension Goei, and five more 1st-dimension Zako into view on the right 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 5th-dimension Kan, the five 1st-dimension Goei, and the five 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 for a fourth time, if your ship is in its flight path, it will crash into it. Once you have afired off three shots at this fifth Enormous Babito to kill it, a sixth Enormous Babito will escort a sixth group up of four more 1st-dimension Goei and four 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 fifth time, if your ship is in their flight path, they will crash into it. Once you have fired three shots at this fifth Enormous Babito to kill it, any remaining Galagans in the formation (there was a total of fifty of them to begin with, and none of them have decided to break away from the formation in this dimension) will begin to attack your ship. This is third time that no Galagans have broken away from formation.

If you had let any of the eleven 1st-dimension Goei in the formation live, they will to meld with each other to create enormous version of themselves while the other nine are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at this enormous Goei to kill it (for the sixteenth 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 (once again, if you did not manage to collect a second one in the previous stage, or missed the one that the Amoeba 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 either of the two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans in the formation live, neither of them will fly down and engage their tractor beams, while the other one is 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 shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the last one will leave a pink Warp Capsule behind; for a ninth and final 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 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 retransformed triple ship will then move back to centre of the screen for a twenty-fifth time and dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-sixth stage - which is the sixth and final bonus stage in the game, and features four Boss Galagans, sixteen Tonbo, ten Goei, and ten Zako dancing to a march-type tune (for final time, 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 sixth and final time; two groups of four Zako will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before curving downwards towards each other, curving back upwards away from each other, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Zako to kill them, you will receive 2600-point bonus - and two more Zako will then fly down into view from top of the screen before circling around, turning 180 degrees, flying upwards, curving downwards towards each other, curving downwards away from each other, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of these Zako to kill them, you will receive a second 2600-point bonus; two more groups of three Goei will then fly down into view from top of the screen before acircling around, flying downwards, curving downwards away from each other, acircling around again, curving upwards away from each other, curving downwards towards each other, and flying away off of the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all six of these Goei to kill them, you will receive third 2600-point bonus - and two more groups of four more Goei will then fly down into view from top of the screen fore circling around, flying downwards, curving away from each other, circling around again, curving upwards away from each other, curving downwards towards each other, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired shot at all eight of these Goei to kill them, you will receive fourth 2600-point bonus; two more groups of eight Hae will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before acurving around away from each other, flying downwards, flying towards each other, acurving around away from each other again, flying upwards, flying towards each other again, circling around twice, and flying away off the top of the screen. Once you have fired shot at all eight of these Hae to kill them, you will receive a fifth 2600-point bonus - and two more groups is made up of two more Hae and two Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before flying downwards, curving upwards towards each other, flying towards each other, curving downwards away from each other, circling around three times, curving downwards away from each other again, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired shot at all four of these Hae and two shots at all four of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a sixth and final 2600-point bonus; if you managed to fire a single shot at all ten of the Zako, all fourteen of the Goei, and all twelve of the Hae, along with 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 th screen as the updated version of the original "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a sixth and final time. However, if you missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" will appear on the screen ("XX" being th number of Galagans you did manage to kill) - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all here, you will receive a sixth and final "Secret Bonus" (or the first, second, third, fourth or fifth, if you had decided to move the joystick, press the Firing Button, or even press the Player Buttons on Stages 3, 7, 14, 18, or 22) of 10000.

If you had managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules over the course of the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at th bottom of the screen and explode (creating another "dimensional rift" in the process); the text "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 20000 PTS" will then appear on the screen as your ship passes through this 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 a small blowup as your ship simply dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (but still in this second dimension) - and if you had not managed to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in the three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (once again, still in this second dimension), as if it had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule in the three previous stages. The dimension you are in for the last three stages determines which ending message you will receive.

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 sixth and final time; two groups of four Zako will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before curving downwards towards each other, circling around, flying towards each other, circling around again, curving downwards away from each other, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Zako to kill them, you will receive a 3000-point bonus - and a third group of two more Zako and two Goei will then fly into view on the right side of the screen before flying leftwards and rotating 90 degrees anticlockwise, curving downwards, and flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of these Zako and both of these Goei to kill them, you will receive another 3000-point bonus; a fourth group of two more Zako and two more Goei will then fly into view on the left side of the screen before flying rightwards and rotating 90 degrees anticlockwise, curving downwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired off a shot at both of these Zako and both of these Goei to kill them, you will receive a third 3000-point bonus - and a fifth group of four more Goei will then fly into view from the right side of the screen before flying leftwards, flying diagonally downwards, curving upwards, and flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all four of these Goei to kill them, you will receive a fourth 3000-point bonus; a sixth group of four more Goei will then fly into view on the left side of the screen before flying rightwards, flying diagonally downwards, curving upwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all four of these Goei to kill them, you will receive a fifth 3000-point bonus - and two more groups of four Zou will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before curving around away from each other, flying downwards, flying towards each other, curving around away from each other again, flying upwards, flying towards each other again, circling around twice, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Zou kill them, you will receive a sixth 3000-point bonus; two more groups of two more Zou and two Boss Galagans will then fly into view on the left and right sides of the screen before flying downwards, curving upwards towards each other, flying towards each other, curving downwards away from each other, circling around three times, curving downwards away from each other again, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all four of these Zou and two shots at all four of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a seventh 3000-point bonus; if you managed to fire a single shot at all twelve of the Zako, all twelve of the Goei, and all twelve of the Zou, along with two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the texts "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 15000 PTS" (for a seventh time, it is as opposed to 10000 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 sixth and final time. However, if you had missed even one Galagan here, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" will appear on the screen ("XX" being the number of Galagans you did manage to kill) - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all, you will receive a sixth and final "Secret Bonus" (or a first, second, third, fourth or fifth, 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, 18, or 22) of 15000 points (for an eighth and final time, this value is as opposed to 10000 now). This will be the last time that you will receive a special bonus.

If you had managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules over the course of the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at th bottom of the screen and explode (creating a third "dimensional rift" in the process); the text "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 30000 PTS" will then appear on the screen as your ship passes through this rift to the fourth 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 a small blowup as your ship simply dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (still in this third dimension) - and if you had not managed to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in the three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize as it proceeds to twenty-seventh stage (once again, is still in this third dimension) as if it had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule over the course of the three previous stages. The dimension you are in for last three stages determines which ending message you receive.

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 a sixth and final time; two Boss Galagans will then fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before curving downwards towards each other, flying away from each other, flying towards each other again, flying away from each other again, flying back towards each other yet again, and flying away from each other yet again before flying away off the 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 3400-point bonus - and two groups of four Choucho will then fly down into view from the top of the screen before curving rightwards, flying leftwards, curving around, flying leftwards again, curving upwards, flying downwards, curving leftwards, and flying away off th left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Choucho to kill them, you will receive another 3400-point bonus; two more groups made up of five Goei will then fly down into view from the top of the screen before acurving leftwards, flying rightwards, acurving around, flying rightwards again, curving upwards, flying downwards, curving rightwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired off a shot at all ten of these Goei to kill them, you will receive a third 3400-point bonus - and two more groups of five Zako will then fly into view from on the left side of the screen before acircling around, flying rightwards, acircling around again, flying rightwards again, flying leftwards, flying diagonally upwards, flying leftwards again, and flying away off the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all ten of these Zako to kill them, you will receive a fourth 3400-point bonus; two more groups of four more Choucho and two more Boss Galagans will then fly into view on th right side of the screen before circling around, flying leftwards, flying away from each other, flying leftwards again, flying downwards, flying rightwards, curving upwards, and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all eight of these Choucho and two shots at both of these Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a fifth 3400-point bonus - and if you managed to fire single shot at all ten of these Zako, all ten of these Goei, and all sixteen of these Choucho, along with two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the texts "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 20000 PTS" will appear on the screen (for a fifth time, is as opposed to 10000 and 15000 now), as the updated version of the original "Perfect Challenging Stage" theme is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a sixth and final time. However, if you'd missed even one Galagan, the texts "NUMBER OF HITS: XX. BONUS XX00 PTS" will appear on the screen ("XX" being the number of Galagans you did manage to kill) - and if you refrained from touching the controls at all, you will receive sixth and final "Secret Bonus" (or a first, second, third, fourth or fifth, if you had decided to move the joystick or press the Firing Button on Stages 3, 7, 14, 18, or 22) of 20000 points (for a sixth time, as opposed to 10000 and 15000 now).

If you had managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules over the course of the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at th bottom of the screen and explode (creating a fourth "dimensional rift" in the process); the texts "DIMENSIONAL WARP BONUS 40000 PTS" will then appear on the screen as your ship passes through this 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 a small blowup as your ship simply dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (still in this fourth dimension) - and if you had not managed to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in the three previous stages, your ship will simply dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (once again, is still in this fourth dimension) as if it had only managed to collect one blue Warp Capsule in the three previous stages. The dimension you are in for last three stages of th game will determine the ending message you receive.

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 sixth and final time; two 1st-dimension Boss Galagans will then fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before flying towards each other, curving around away from each other, flying towards each other again, curving upwards, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired two shots at both of these 1st-dimension Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive a 3800-point bonus - and a group up of five Tonbo will then fly into view on th left side of the screen before curving upwards, flying rightwards, flying leftwards, curving downwards, and flying away off the left side of the screen.

Once you have fired off a shot at all five of these 1st-dimension Goei to kill them, you will receive a seventh 3800-point bonus; two more groups of three more Tonbo and two more 1st-dimension Boss Galagans will then fly into view from the left and right sides of the screen before curving around away from each other, flying downwards, flying towards each other, flying downwards again, flying away from each other, curving upwards towards each other, curving upwards away from each other, flying towards each other again, and flying away off the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at all six of these Tonbo and two shots at both of these 1st-dimension Boss Galagans to kill them, you will receive an eighth 3800-point bonus; if you managed to fire single shot at all ten of the Zako, all ten of the Goei, and all sixteen of the Tonbo, along with two shots at all four of the Boss Galagans to kill them, the text "PERFECT! NUMBER OF HITS: 40. SPECIAL BONUS! 25000 PTS" (for a third time, this is as opposed to 10000, 15000 and 20000 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 sixth and final time. However, if you missed even one Galagan, the text "NUMBER OF HITS: XX.

This will also be the last time in the game that you will receive any special bonus.

If you had managed to collect two blue Warp Capsules over the course of the three previous stages, they will rise up from their positions at bottom of the screen and explode (but, once again, will not create a fifth "dimensional rift" in the process) as your ship will dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (still in this 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 a small blowup as your ship dematerializes and proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (once again, still in this fifth dimension) - and if you did not manage to collect any blue Warp Capsules at all in the three previous stages, your ship will still dematerialize as it proceeds to the twenty-seventh stage (yet again, still in this fifth dimension) as if it had actually managed to collect one or two blue Warp Capsules over the course of the three previous stages. The dimension you are in for th last three stages of game will determine the ending message you receive.
