The new DOJ PS4/Switch port contains 3 new arrange modes for us to play with, they're pretty easy to clear since I managed to beat all of them blind. The TLB Hibachi appears at the end of each of these modes, so keep that in mind if you decide to go for a clear.

Arrange S (0:39) is my favorite of the bunch, I treat it like Mushihimesama Original Mode where the pattern density is way lower but also moves at sniper rifle speeds. From what I can tell, you are in a permanent modified hyper mode at the cost of not being able to enter laser/slow mode as well as not being able to use bombs. There's also this gauge that fills up that awards items if you max it out (at least I think, I'm not too sure about this one). You get 1 million 1ups in this mode, so it's pretty hard to game over, but it's still fun. I went for all bees collections this time around (not bee-perfect because I die in the stages), but I ended up having wayyyyyy worse survival than my blind run xd.

Arrange L (22:13) is a strange mode. When you fill up the Tensei meter, killing large enemies will cause the surrounding bullets to convert into star items. You also are equipped with an auto-bomber and auto-hyper, it seems like triggering the latter will give you a very short-lived hyper compared to normal (at least it seems like that, I can't be sure). My performance in this run was about the same as my blind run, maybe my survival was slightly better this time around.

Arrange EX (48:35) from what I can tell is basically just Arrange L if you played with EX-style and in the 2nd loop, you also instantly collect hypers when your meter fills up instead of having it drop as an item. It may seem brutal, but you get many lives to work with here. I have literally no 2nd loop experience, so enjoy watching me flail around aimlessly.

I originally was going to upload my blind runs, but then I realized there was a million achievement notification that showed my real name as well as having terrible video quality (horrible FPS), so I opted to just record new runs on my English account and disable notifications since I really didn't feel like editing them out (you can watch my previous video, the 2-Player one, to see what I mean by bad quality and notifications, I bothered to edit that one since I couldn't just redo that run).

I hate playing on controller xd
