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 meld to 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.
