[怒首領蜂大往生/DoDonPachi DaiOuJou] Arrange EX ALL CLEAR (Score: 404,772,190) [CC Commentary]

Arrange EX is the best one of the arranges! Simply for the fact it lets you access the 2nd loop without going have to the 1st loop first. But since this is an Arrange, it's made much easier to survive including a heck ton of lives, an M2 arrange staple.
In this mode you're stuck with Exy. Similar to Arrange L, there is this Tensei gauge. Build up by lasering a high HP enemy then destroy it, you'll cancel all bullets like a bomb! For a CAVE game bullet cancelling enemies are rare notably so on Stage 5, so this is a pretty genius upgrade while keeping the combo game intact!
It's an easy romp and thanks to the crazy 2nd loop patterns, which honestly, sometimes it doesn't seem to be that crazy because some patterns only add 2x of the bullets, which in practice, not that tangible of a threat, it's very exciting to play! Must play! It gives dozens of lives too, so I don't think lacking skill is a good excuse to not try it at least once.
Other differences include around 3x as fast of Hyper gauge fill. That's triple the secondary bombs! How cool is that?
This is the M2STG port on Nintendo Switch.

A More Manageable DaiOuJouBu 2nd Loop Arrange!

M2 guys are clever to come up with new arrange mode for most shmups they bring back to M2STG.

It’s still a luxury, though. It’s been a while since the last one. ESP Ra.De.’s Arcade Plus is more of a Black Label-ish update, really. No major mechanic addition. The Toaplan ports are also kept untouched without any Arranges.
