DoDonPachi Stage 1,2&3 C-L Basic Scoring Guide
37DoDonPachi (1997) Atlus/Cave. Played on MAMEUI32 emulator. This is a video of first 3 stages from a recording input.
Craft type: C-L
Not the most popular type but it's my own favorite.
Guide&Tips:
Stage 1:
-Easy to learn to chain the first part for ~190 HIT, you need to delay a bit killing the powerup ship or the tanks/helicopters to be able to continue the chain to the midboss.
-Later part of the stage gives another easy chain for ~57HIT, it's not much so if you can't do it, it's better just to be sure to get all the bee icons.
-For boss you need to time so you kill the sidekicks while they are spinning for 10x 10k point item. Note that you get HIT faster after you've killed the sidekicks so try not to damage the main body much before you kill the sidekicks.
Stage 2:
-First of all it's totally up to you to if you want to collect the bees. Honestly collecting them doesn't matter much scorewise unless you go for near perfect scores. The bees start affecting heavily on score only very much later IF you can collect all of them without dying in between in all stages.
-Chaining is important. Hard parts for this chaining method are when you kill the building, be sure to have your HIT meter as high as possible when you finish it off so you don't lose your chain right after you kill it. Another hard part is after you kill the 'midboss', it requires practice to be able to keep your chain afterwards (Specially on this shot type, it's actually easier on A-L) but once you've done it once or twice it's quite simple.
-For boss once again kill off the extra parts asap to be able to get higher HIT.
Stage 3:
-Getting all the bees is easy from this stage unless you're an idiot like me. Will give you an extra ~300k if you do. I wouldn't know if that was really worth it unless you can really get all the bees from stages 4 to 6.
-Chaining doesn't matter much. No matter what you won't be able to get very high chains that would affect score very greatly.
-Most important part is cancelling as many bullets as possible near the end. This will boost your score greatly and is quite easy too.
-You get 1UP from the big ship bridge IF you have destroyed all the containers before it. Also, do not use a bomb to destroy the bridge.
-For boss good strategy with a Laser shot type is to start on top of it. Kill the 2 turrets with your aura and dodge the blue beams from sides twice. After that destroy the rest of the parts and move into the main body.
