Darius is a series of Horizontal Scrolling Shooters developed by Taito.The series usually involves war between the human civilization planet of Darius and a force of alien aggressors known as the Belsar. The protagonists pilot the iconic three-pronged Silver Hawk fighter starships and take on the Belsar army, most notably their fleet of "Huge Battleships" that are often designed after various marine life, such as coelacanths, sea turtles, octopi, and squids.

Abnormal Ammo: One of the attacks of the Embryon, the boss of Nu stage in G-Darius, fires what is essentially a smaller, stripped down version of Eclipse Eye, the first boss of the game. They also fire off their own shot to boot.

The Artifact
 Darius (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Another Chronicle's game over screen features a caution for players to "mind [your] head when leaving", as the game is played in a sit-down cabinet with a roof over the players. This notice is still present in the home ports of the game. Darius Extra for the Genesis allows the player to save your score, but the game doesn't have battery save. This is a leftover from the original Genesis Mini version, which had save support.

Fake Longevity
 Darius (Video Game) / int_14184bc7
comment
Fake Longevity: Dariusburst Another Chronicle's Chronicle Mode is touted to have "3,000 stages". However, in reality, those are 3,000 missions that take place over the preexisting 24 stages, with some variations in enemies, attacks, stage permutations, and mandatory ship selections. Perhaps to alleviate this, individual cabinets save progress for everyone who plays on the machine, so that players can collaborate together, and the consumer ports allow players to play on "virtual cabinets" with other players. Chronicle Saviours is a bit more fair, featuring 200 missions with some brand new stages for good measure, but you'll be seeing several of the same bosses frequently.

Destructible Projectiles
 Darius (Video Game) / int_1695e61d
comment
Destructible Projectiles: In Dariusburst, orange "bullet" projectiles can be cancelled with missle-type weapons, while yellow "needle" projectiles can be cancelled with laser-type weapons. Wave-type weapons can't cancel either of them. Fortunately, Burst weapons can cancel most (but not all) other projectiles.

Unstable Equilibrium
 Darius (Video Game) / int_17975d1b
comment
Unstable Equilibrium: Don't lose a life... or your shot, bomb, and shield sub-levels will go down! If you were right about to upgrade any of them (especially the shot), expect to let out a Precision F-Strike. Some games, like Darius II and Darius Force, have it worse: You lose ALL of your powerups! To make things even worse in Darius Force, you can only continue up to three times before your game is truly over!

comment
In G-Darius in the final Zone Nu, at least according to a file hidden somewhere on the Japanese PSX disc, After you beat the Thiima archon The Embryon, its creation energies flare out and interact...badly...with the Silver Hawk's omnidestruction-capable All-Nothing systems. Sameluck and Lutia are caught up in the storm, and are only able to share one final kiss before they're absorbed. But then again, it would seem they reincarnated back in the past as PLANET DARIUS ITSELF...

Power-Up Letdown
 Darius (Video Game) / int_18683fc2
comment
Power Up Letdown: Once you max out your regular shot (usually a column of shots three shots high), your next power-up is a very thin laser; the plus side is that it'll keep going through enemies, rather than dissipating on impact. It'll take you a few more power-ups to get to the wave, which can easily power up to be wider than the maximized missile shot. It appears that in Darius Gaiden, the white bullet + wave shot (second to last powerup), trumps the pure wave shot (last powerup) by quite a large margin that pro players advise dying to reset the attack powerup counter. It's often said to make the difference up to five whole seconds to kill bosses with the white bullet and some superplayers state whether or not they are using this shoot mode. This varies from ship to ship in the Dariusburst sub-series. Legend, Next, Assault, Murakumo, and Genesis all get piercing lasers when they reach the second tier of shot upgrades, which is great for waves and multi-part bosses, but terrible in the damage-per-second department, and get wave shots that pierce structures but not enemies for the third tier, making them mostly viable boss weapons. Formula actually benefits from the laser, due to the limited shot distance weakening the "four shots at a time" effect. Additionally, wave shots cannot cancel enemy shots like bullets and lasers can, and several enemies are immune to wave shots. Gaiden's third tier of shot upgrades are by all means powerful, but the last upgrade in the second tier, a wide green wave, has the fastest recharge time for its Black Hole Bomb, as detailed in this replay.

Multiple Endings: Many games in the series have branching paths, with each one having its own ending. Darius Twin, which has only one final stage, instead requires you to fulfill other conditions to get different endings. Syvalion, meanwhile, has one hundred endings.

Easy-Mode Mockery
 Darius (Video Game) / int_1be7d298
comment
Easy-Mode Mockery: Dariusburst Another Chronicle has an Infinite Ships mode, which provides all players with infinite lives, but costs additonal credits to play (the idea being to split the cost with up to three extra players) and invalidates any scores achieved with it. However, since the game is set in "Free Play" in both Chronicle Saviours and ACEX+, this mode comes off as pointless. Chronicle Saviours's CS Mode allows you to forego the preset ship configuration and use a customized ship instead. Because the customization can be used to give oneself 99 ARM and maxed out weapons, among other things, scores will not be submitted to rankings if customization is used; however, the mission will still be counted as completed if you reach the end of it. Playing the Genesis Mini/Extra Version port of the first game as Tiat allows the player to keep their power-ups after dying, but the player will not rank on the leaderborads.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard
 Darius (Video Game) / int_1da01dce
comment
The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: Alternate routes in Chronicle Saviours. The game simply lists "Get over x pts." as the unlock condition, but what it doesn't tell you is that you need to have that many points before the last zone in the mission. On top of that, the mission won't have the "mission clear" badge until you unlock and finish via the alternate route. This can lead players to think it's a form of Game-Breaking Bug.

Adaptation Expansion: Super Darius and the Mega Drive port of the original Darius feature 26 bosses instead of 11 like in the original game, although for the Mega Drive version, an options toggle allows for the original set of bosses if the player so chooses.note The original Darius was supposed to have 26 bosses, but that number was reduced due to time constraints.

Palette Swap: Although they did have different attacks, Darius Gaiden had Golden Ogre and Storm Causer, G-Darius had Queen Fossil and Fire Fossil. Even more so in G-Darius is branching path system in every level, where each area led to a different colored version of the same boss with a different attack pattern. Darius+, having only five bosses, used palette swap to make a boss look much different.

A Winner Is You: In contrast to the other games, the sole ending of the Game Boy Sagaia consist of a brief shot of the Silver Hawk turning into a phoenix, then a portrait of the pilot, then the credits. Defeat Vermillion Coronatus in Darius Gaiden and you'll get...a screen depicting that you just played a game and the "pilots" are teenage kids (in the shape of Proco and Tiat) sighing a relief, accompanied by the caption: "I finally beat Darius Gaiden!" That's actually a callback to the ending for Zone Y's boss, Cuttlefish, in the first Darius.

Easter Egg: In the arcade version of Darius II, there's a very small chance that after beating the boss Leadain, Rascal/Rubblen from Bubble Bobble and Ben Bero Beh will fall out of the boss after its destruction instead of the Belsar pilot. Also a form of censorship, entering various offensive words as your name in Dariusburst: Another Chronicle results in your name changing to "Taito."

Beam-O-War: G-Darius''s Alpha Beam. When met with a boss's Beta Beam, it turns into a Button Mashing contest during which both beams can grow until they cover the whole screen. Burst has the Burst Counter mechanic; if your Burst hits an enemy's Burst attack, it will amplify in power and give you a powerful score multiplier. Another Chronicle, however, requires you to time your Burst deployment; if you are anything short of perfect when you fly into the enemy beam or firing your beam at the same time, you won't get a Counter and you'll lose valuable shield points at best and an entire life at worst.

Flawless Victory: Dariusburst awards a 10 million point bonus for clearing the game with no lives lost. Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours's CS and DLC modes award 3 million points for clearing a stagenote a normal area with no boss afterwards counts as one stage, as does a boss area as the first area and a boss area preceded by another boss area. A regular area and a boss area immediately afterwards are counted as a single stage together. with no damage, as in not just clearing the stage without dying, but also without any shield damage. Chronicle Saviours has an achievement for clearing a Defender mission with no damage to the gauge. The Chronicle Saviours port of Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX has achievements for clearing the QUZ route (the path consisting of the three hardest stages in EX mode) with no lives lost and clearing it with no damage.

Glass Cannon: In Dariusburst and its spinoff games, Origin Silver Hawk and Second Silver Hawk both have very powerful main weapons; Origin's Wave shot pierces everything including enemies while Second can achieve great coverage with its side lasers and massive damage with its main shot. However, neither of these ships have Bursts, leaving them with less options for defense against difficult-to-dodge attacks.

Recurring Boss: Two of them. (Insert Word Here) Fossil, a coelacanth. Starting with King Fossil from Darius. Usually the first or second boss in the game, and appears in almost every single one of them. Great Thing. A sperm whale with a load of cannons attached to it, and often the Final Boss in every Darius game he's appeared in. Not to mention he's usually incredibly difficult in each game he's in. In Darius Twin, he's an optional second-to-last boss, and is the only boss to have his own specialized music separate from the normal boss music.

Bittersweet Ending
 Darius (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Many in the series, particularly in G-Darius where every single one of the ending is either this or a Downer Ending. In the Mu ending, Sameluck sacrifices himself to protect Lutia from Heavy Arms Shell's last-ditch attack. Lutia herself ends up stranded on Darius, and is understandably grief-wracked...until a mysterious stranger approaches her. Several fans swear that this is a reincarnated Sameluck. The Lambda ending has Lutia's Silver Hawk caught by one of Lightning Coronatus' electric arcs and had to bail out. Sameluck, rather than abandoning her, ejects out of his intact Silver Hawk to embrace her. The red Silver Hawk continues on to a planet without a pilot as credits roll. The same Japanese PSX file explaining the endings says that he's rescuing her, and is able to bring her with him to Darius. Still counts, though, at least in terms of them never being able to return to Amnelia. Omicron ending has the heroes finally defeat G.T. before coming home. Cue the Belser army appropriating the wreckage of G.T. This is canonical, as Belser are the future antagonists. It also counts as bittersweet for the same reason as Lambda: The heroes have no way to return to Amnelia, since the Hawks are too low on fuel. The original Dariusburst has one after beating Zone H. Ti-2 and Riga managed to beat Hungry Gluttons, but the Burst engine of both Silver Hawks overloads after the battle, destroying both ships and almost killing Riga in the process. Ti-2 rescues her partner, but they're left stranded in outer space.

Fluffy the Terrible

comment
Fluffy the Terrible: One of the possible final bosses of Darius II is an Angel Fish called "Little Stripes". In the arcade edition, anyway. The PC-Engine port, however, has several new bosses to take Little Stripes's place. It helps that Little Stripes appeared as a third-tier boss in that system's own Darius I port.

Gameplay Grading: Syvalion rates your overall score at the end of the game by giving you either a good, normal or bad ending, depending on the randomly picked scenario. Doing well gives you a good ending while doing poorly gives you a bad ending.

Downer Ending: Two endings in Darius Gaiden: Zone V: Your ship, which has been underwater fighting one of the Final Bosses, gets destroyed by the crushing pressure of the sea. Zone Z: Due to the severe damage Planet Darius itself sustained from battles, along with the fighting inside of the planet's core itself, the players escape Planet Darius as it violently explodes. Also, in the first Darius, the two-player ending for Zone V. Yes, you wipe out the Belser Army fortress that Strong Shell was guarding...by kamikaze attack. The ending to Zone W in Darius II has the players return to a planet Oruga where human civilization is long gone due to time dilation. In G-Darius in the final Zone Nu, at least according to a file hidden somewhere on the Japanese PSX disc, After you beat the Thiima archon The Embryon, its creation energies flare out and interact...badly...with the Silver Hawk's omnidestruction-capable All-Nothing systems. Sameluck and Lutia are caught up in the storm, and are only able to share one final kiss before they're absorbed. But then again, it would seem they reincarnated back in the past as PLANET DARIUS ITSELF... Xi however, pulls an even less subtle punch. Apparently, Accordion Hazard's explosion was so strong it engulfed both crafts. With no hope of survival, they flew close to each other. The next shot is a single "soul" in the shape of a silver hawk flying away. Cue the credit roll.

comment
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: The main body of Zone M in Darius Gaiden lasts for all of 30 seconds with a bunch of easy enemies before throwing the huge battleship warning at you. The boss it's warning you of is Titantic Lance, one of the longest and most difficult bosses in the entire game. In ACEX, the 1st Silverhawk Cup event starts you off with a high-powered ship and a relatively tame stage with tons of shield pickups. You're going to need all of them if you hope to 1CC, because the game then pits you against Dreadful Whip, Great Thing, and G.T.V., all of them being brutal Final Bosses. In CS Core's Rebuka mission (the CS adaptation of the "6th Interplanetary Conquest' mission from ACEX+), the very final scene, a fight against Gigantic Bite, dumps 7 shield items at the start, basically the game's way of saying "Good luck, you'll need it!"

Mechanically Unusual Fighter
 Darius (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5
comment
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: The DLC ships in Chronicle Saviours all play very differently from the main/"canon" ships, especially the Sega ships: X-Lay uses a reticule for its lock-on attack, and earns huge multipliers by killing waves of enemies with a full set of lock-on shots. It does not gain anything from green power-ups, as it doesn't fire bombs. Black Fly does not charge up its Burst gauge by shooting enemies; instead, it collects Newalone particles that are dropped from enemies and spawn regularly during bosses. It can still refill its meter by firing its Burst into an enemy Burst (for the Burst Counter), however. Only the blue shield powerups have any effect on it, as its shot power is influenced by the Burst meter, and it doesn't have bombs. Inter Gray's Burst can be made more powerful by collecting green power-ups. Harrier can create temporary clones of himself that fire thin beams until they vanish, and can make his clones' lasers intersect to fire larger and stronger beams. He can increase how many clones he can launch at once by collecting green power-ups. He also cannot turn around instantly like all of the other ships; instead, to make him turn, you stop firing and then move, and he'll gradually change direction rather than just flipping his firing angle 180 degrees. Try-Z can raise its on-screen multiplier by rolling through enemy fire. Opa-Opa's shot upgrades and special attacks have to be bought with coins dropped from destroyed enemies. In addition, each time he uses a particular weapon, that weapon's price for the next activation increases. In lieu of shops that Opa-Opa runs into to buy upgrades, upgrades can be purchased on the fly at any time, as long as he has the money for it and the upgrade is not currently in use.

Deflector Shields: Absolute Defender, one of the tier 3 bosses in G-Darius, has this as its main schtick. As long as the shield's active, NOTHING hurts it, not even Alpha Beams. First, you have to overload the shield generator on its lower jaw, then get in your hits before the generator goes back up. Thankfully, each time you blow out the generator, it takes longer to come back.

Sequel Hook: In the Omicron ending of G-Darius, after defeating Great Thing, a mysterious aircraft captures the wreckage of it, foreshadowing the Belsar's role as the main antagonists. A non-canon one after completing Kyokkuho in Chronicle Saviours's CS Mode. After freeing the galaxy, the ending notes that the Belsar remains at large, and the Planet Saviours must prepare themselves as they will one day return, they can be certain. It should be noted, however, that Kyokkuho actually takes place a month before Suriaha.

Lightning Reveal: Notably used in the the first half of Zone Omicron, the last of the final stages in G-Darius. Set during a thunderstorm, the background is totally dark, with flashes of lightning showing the ruins of a devastated city. The very last lightning strike reveals that the player was being watched by reoccurring final boss G.T. (Great Thing). It's a rather eerie atmosphere, further established by the track, Kimera II.

The arcade version received two major upgrade kits (titled "New version" and "Extra" in the Cozmic Collection) which aim to smoothen out the difficult curve through methods like reducing the Dynamic Difficulty increase, lowering early boss healths while buffing later ones, buffing the laser so it's not such a Power-Up Letdown, etc while removing safe spots exploits. These three variants of the game are replicated in the Mega Drive Darius Extra release, but tailored for a single screen.

Aspect Ratio
 Darius (Video Game) / int_65ddbf8e
comment
Aspect Ratio: When Darius and Darius II were released in arcades, they were infamous for using multiple monitors to achieve an exceptionally wide aspect ratio. Both games use three 4:3 screens laid side by sideMore specifically...  The monitors aren't actually side-by-side; two of the monitors use horizontally-flipped imagery and placed under an angled half-reflecting mirror (similar to the ones used for teleprompters so that news anchors read the script without looking away at the camera or having the script be visible to viewers) that reflects them toward the player, with the center, non-flipped screen behind the mirror. There are usually slight seams between each of the screens in practice, but it's a lot cleaner than just straight up laying the three monitors together, especially when they're CRT monitors with bezels at least an inch long., resulting in an aspect ratio of 12:3 (or 4:1), giving the Silver Hawks and their enemies a large amount of horizontal space. Darius II also comes in a more compact two-screen format for 8:3 play. However, subsequent games simply stuck to more standard ratios; it was not until 2009 that Darius began to once again use any remotely widescreen aspect ratios, with the release of Dariusburst on the PSP, which uses a 16:9 ratio. Taito would then bring back the multiple monitor gimmick for Dariusburst Another Chronicle, which uses two widescreen monitors for a 32:9 ratio. The Another Chronicle EX port on Chronicle Saviours allows players to play in 32:9 mode as well, either through letterboxing (although you'll probably need a 21:9 monitor to be able to see anything) or two monitors if on the PC version.

Marathon Level
 Darius (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9
comment
Marathon Level: In Chronicle Saviours, many missions usually have no more than 5-6 scenes, which can be beaten in about 10 minutes. But then you start getting missions with at least 14 scenes, which can take about half an hour. Kyokkuho is by far the king of this trope, with 20 scenes that can take an hour to get through. Another Chronicle EX+ has the "6th Interplanetary Conquest" event course, which is THIRTEEN STAGES long, with each stage having an endboss, and takes about an hour to complete.

Flying Seafood Special: Almost all the bosses in the series are Humongous Mecha sea creatures, and most of them are fought in mid-air. The SNES Darius game Darius Force averts this with some bosses: The boss of Zone O, the Gaulst Vic, is what appears to be a Humongous Mecha ape/human skeleton. Another of the final zones has you up against the Megalopros, a mecha-pterodactyl. Meanwhile, Zones J and K feature the Stealther boss, which is a chameleon. Darius Twin features a walrus as one of the final bosses, and Darius II has a ''fetus-like'' creature as a boss (Twice, once as Bio Strong and the Mech. Bio Strong, and, bizarrely, a giant Silver Hawk- I.E, you.

Later-Installment Weirdness

comment
Later-Installment Weirdness: Another Chronicle (including its Expansion Pack Another Chronicle EX) is the only arcade Darius game to support four players at once. AC and Chronicle Saviours are the only games to allow the player to voluntarily change their ship's direction. CS is the only game to explicitly show the exact amount of shield health remaining, while in past games the only indicator is that the shield sprite shrinks when you have one point of shielding left. That said, Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade adds this to its ports of Darius, Darius II, Sagaia, and Darius Gaiden as part of an optional on-screen widget.

Earth-Shattering Kaboom: In addition to a certain Darius Gaiden ending, the events preceding G-Darius involved a scuffle between Planet Amnelia and one of its moons, Blazar, over who should have jurisdiction over another moon, Mahsah. Someone on the Amnelian side got the bright idea to use a nightmarishly powerful weapon, All-Nothing, to settle the dispute by obliterating Blazar. It was this act, by the way, that alarmed the Thiima into their attempt to conquer Amnelia...

Shared Universe
 Darius (Video Game) / int_7fd142ef
comment
Shared Universe: With the game Growl, bizarrely enough. The animal poaching organization is called the Belser Animal Protection Organization in the Japanese version, after the Belser Army from this series. At first in may seem like just a simple Shout-Out, but then the head of the poachers turns out to be a giant alien millipede. However, the international versions changed their name to the Rendow Animal Protection Agency, which pretty much removes what little explanation there is for a giant space millipede being in a game about fighting evil poachers. The CS Mode of Chronicle Saviors makes an effort to tie all the previous Darius games into one timeline. One of the random scenarios of Syvalion reveals that the game is a Stealth Sequel to Raimais, a Pac-Man clone with shmup elements. The Syvalion pilot is revealed to be the brother of the female protagonist of that game, and the mad doctor from the same game is not only revealed to be the commander of the Varia aliens, but he also kidnapped the pilot's sister.

Button Mashing: As with most of the Darius games, pressing the fire button rapidly Darius Gaiden will yield a much faster rate of fire than the built-in default autofire speed. The in-game demos showcase this, firing with a very high rate of fire compared to the speed you get from holding down the fire button. The Saturn port allows you to enable this via a code. There is a ROM Hack called Darius Gaiden Extra which has an incredible 30 hz speed rapid-fire as the default, but its status as an official game is debatable. This applied in Gaiden Ship in Another Chronicle and Chronicle Saviour.

"Just Frame" Bonus: Dariusburst and its spinoffs have the Burst Counter, in which you fire your Burst weapon the very moment you come in contact with an enemy Burst.

G-Darius has this as an entire gameplay mechanic, expanding upon Gaiden's miniboss capture concept. Your ship has capture balls that can be fired at enemies, turning most types over to your side to fight/take damage for you. This includes Mini Bosses, but you have to first destroy their gold armor that prevents capture. You can also detonate captured enemies as a Smart Bomb or charge them up in an Alpha Beam, the size/HP of the enemy determining their power.

Revisiting the Roots: Dariusburst Another Chronicle brings back the multi-monitor setup used in the first two games after Darius Gaiden and G-Darius ditched it for a single screen. On a minor note with one of the DLC ships in Chronicle Saviors, the Delta Sword needs power-ups to increase its shot power instead of being at full power from the start, something that Cave ditched from the series in DoDonPachi Resurrection and DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou.

One of the random scenarios of Syvalion reveals that the game is a Stealth Sequel to Raimais, a Pac-Man clone with shmup elements. The Syvalion pilot is revealed to be the brother of the female protagonist of that game, and the mad doctor from the same game is not only revealed to be the commander of the Varia aliens, but he also kidnapped the pilot's sister.

Version-Exclusive Content: The Genesis port of Darius 2 removes the boss Killer Higia, but adds a new final boss called Nehonojia, a Horse Mackerel skeleton mech. The X86000 port of Syvalion includes a hidden bonus game called Sybubblun, a brutally difficulty 20-stage Arrange Mode of the original Bubble Bobble where Bub, Bob and all the enemies are reskinned to look like Syvalion and the game's enemies. Since Sagaia GB is a condensed version of the first Darius due to hardware limitations, it removes several bosses from its roster. However, a new boss, Big Merman, is added to compensate for the cuts.

One Bullet at a Time
 Darius (Video Game) / int_ac9b4618
comment
This varies from ship to ship in the Dariusburst sub-series. Legend, Next, Assault, Murakumo, and Genesis all get piercing lasers when they reach the second tier of shot upgrades, which is great for waves and multi-part bosses, but terrible in the damage-per-second department, and get wave shots that pierce structures but not enemies for the third tier, making them mostly viable boss weapons. Formula actually benefits from the laser, due to the limited shot distance weakening the "four shots at a time" effect. Additionally, wave shots cannot cancel enemy shots like bullets and lasers can, and several enemies are immune to wave shots. Gaiden's third tier of shot upgrades are by all means powerful, but the last upgrade in the second tier, a wide green wave, has the fastest recharge time for its Black Hole Bomb, as detailed in this replay.

Remixed Level: Many missions in Another Chronicle's Chronicle Mode and Chronicle Saviours's CS Mode use modified versions of pre-existing stages. CS Mode occasionally throws out "WARNING" versions of missions, signifying distress calls of enemy invasions. These replace existing missions with harder versions of them. You can't play the replaced missions again until you clear their respective WARNING versions, after which you can freely choose between the two variants.

A non-canon one after completing Kyokkuho in Chronicle Saviours's CS Mode.

It should be noted, however, that Kyokkuho actually takes place a month before Suriaha.

Hold the Line: Several missions in Chronicle Saviours require you to stop enemies from reaching an off-screen target that is represented by a Life Meter on the left side of the screen. Allowing enemies to escape will decrease the meter; don't lose the whole meter or you'll get a Game Over even if you have lives remaining!note Exaggerated in that being in CS Mode, you won't be allowed to continue playing; instead, it will be time for you to restart from the beginning-or give up altogether...

Continuing is Painful
 Darius (Video Game) / int_c3d60914
comment
Continuing is Painful: When you get killed and respawn, some of your powerups may be lost. How much depends from game to game (listed in order of increasing harshness): Darius Twin and Dariusburst do not apply any penalty to your upgrades, even if you continue in the latter (Twin has no continues). Darius, G-Darius, and Darius R reset you back to level 0 of the last major upgrade you reached. For example, if you had 3 levels of Lasernote obtained by upgrading your shot Missile is maxed out, 2 levels of Twinnote obtained by upgrading your bombs when Bomb is maxed out, and 4 levels of Armornote your starting shield, you will respawn with Laser, Twin, and Armor all at level 0. Darius Gaiden varies by upgrade type. You get a flat penalty to your shot, making your shot drop down to level 0 of the tier below what you have (so if you have Wave, you'll be demoted to Laser level 0, for example). Shield is reset back to level 0 of your last upgrade, much like in other games. Bomb is not affected. Darius II and Darius Force simply take away ALL of your upgrades upon death. The only bones you really get are that in Darius II, the next set of item-carrying enemies may drop a circular item that upgrades all of your weapons by one level, and in Darius Force the first enemies you may encounter after respawning will drop powerups.

Shout-Out: The Silver Hawk itself cameos in the relatively obscure game Syvalion. An example from within the series; one of the final zones of Darius Gaiden features a hanger full of mecha in the background. A single one of these units is bright red and features a horn on its head, a possible Shout Out to the signature mech of Gundam antagonist Char Aznable. Dariusburst and Dariusburst Another Chronicle has the Glutton bosses, who have a Mook attack that resembles Space Invaders. One of the final bosses in Dariusburst and Dariusburst Another Chronicle has another possible Shout Out to the Gundam franchise, as it uses literal fin funnels. Not to mention that the designs include contributions from the mecha designers behind Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The Final Boss of Darius Force, Galst Vic, is modeled after the T-800.

Monster Allies: Gaiden allows you to capture Mini Bosses by attacking their crystal until it detaches, then touching the crystal. The miniboss will then fight for you for a short while before self-destructing. G-Darius has this as an entire gameplay mechanic, expanding upon Gaiden's miniboss capture concept. Your ship has capture balls that can be fired at enemies, turning most types over to your side to fight/take damage for you. This includes Mini Bosses, but you have to first destroy their gold armor that prevents capture. You can also detonate captured enemies as a Smart Bomb or charge them up in an Alpha Beam, the size/HP of the enemy determining their power.

Succession Game
 Darius (Video Game) / int_d01a77dc
comment
Succession Game: Dariusburst Another Chronicle's Chronicle Mode has a variation of this. The mode takes place over a few dozen star systems, with each of those systems having several dozen missions, with about 3,000 missions total. Whenever a mission is cleared, unlocking surrounding missions, it is applied for the entire cabinet rather than just the player that just finished it. Since only one mission can be played at a time on the cabinet, players take turns "liberating" planets by completing missions; one scenario where this mechanic can benefit all players in an arcade is if one mission keeps screwing over most players, but one particular player then pops in a credit and clears it, helping everyone else move on to the missions that were just unlocked.

Detachment Combat: Titanic Lance in Gaiden could do this with part of its shell, and Eternal Triangle from G-Darius could do it with his whole body. The octopus from Darius+ also had an eye that would detach from the body, but this is more of a defense to make it harder to hit the eye. However, the eye sometime glitches, making the boss fight impossible.

Boss-Only Level: Many missions in the Dariusburst sub-series consist only of boss fights. Downplayed examples are the Zones that Titanic Lance in Darius Gaiden and Peace Destroyer in Darius Force reside in, which are a rather short section leading up to said bosses. It's probably to make up for the two bosses being rather long.

Schmuck Bait: Darius II features bombs planted throughout many of the stages that, if you hit them while they're open, they will inflict a screen-wide attack for you that does massive damage to all on-screen enemies. Problem is, many of them are in hard-to-reach locations, and some are, in fact, planted to bait you into taking dead-end paths leaving you no choice but to suffer a life lost, and will never open up just to rub it in your face that you fell for the trick. In Dariusburst and its re-releases, trying to Burst Counter one of the Thousand family's Burst attack and destroying their cannon will result in them retaliating against you with their green laser attack.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Darius (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: In Darius II, if the player dies on the third level or later, destroying one of the enemy waves that normally doesn't drop any power-ups will instead spawn a rainbow power-up that upgrades all of the Silver Hawk's attribute at once, making it easier to get back on your feet after dying. Of course, you have to be able to destroy the waves with your now non-existent firepower... Because of the Game Boy's lack of color, Sagaia GB has power-ups represented by icons instead of colored balls, which are dropped by black ships with a gray outline. Additionally, the game allows the player to customize their button layout, including assigning either the A or B buttons to fire both the main shot and bombs at the same time instead of holding both buttons during gameplay. Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade and G-Darius HD feature real-time widgets (similar to the ones found in M2 ShotTriggers ports by the same team), which can show information such as boss health (except in G-Darius) and shield health. In Dariusburst Second Prologue, as timing Bursts would be much harder on a smartphone than on portable, console, or arcade controls, Burst Counters are done by simply touching your Burst against an enemy's, similar to the Genesis in ACEX. In the home ports of Another Chronicle EX, in order to accomodate Chronicle Mode, which features over 3,000 missions with progress tied to each cabinet, the idea being that players at a given arcade collectively contribute to completion, for a non-arcade setting, players can instead choose from one of several dozen "virtual cabinets" and share progress with other players who self-assign to the same cabinet. This prevents the task of completing all of these missions from being burdened onto one player, especially the "multiple players required" missions which not every player has the necessary number of acquaintances or controllers need to complete. One of the options in G-Darius HD disables rapid-fire functions when on zone select, continue, and name entry prompts, helping prevent the player from accidentally picking the wrong zone, draining out the continue timer, or rapid-typing and locking in the wrong initials. Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+, unlike past versions of DBAC, grants 4 lives per credit instead of 3. This makes a 4-player game possible without having to use another credit. However, a side effect is that "one-credit rule" missions are easier to complete than in other versions. It's still not optimal to rely on the extra life when playing for score, since clearing the game with no deaths awards a bonus of 10 million points.

Bait-and-Switch Boss
 Darius (Video Game) / int_da03a529
comment
Bait-and-Switch Boss: In Darius II, you fight the IJN battleship Yamato... for about five seconds, before the real boss, a Giant Enemy Crab, pops out of it, using the midsection as its shell. Sort of, at least in-game, in the Mu and Xi zones in G-Darius. Our heroes come upon a four-spiked orb in the core of Kazumn. Once you play to the end of Nu, you'll know this orb is the main ingredient of the Embryon. Before Sameluck and Lutia can actually engage it, though, it teleports away and summons either Heavy Arms Shell (Mu) or Accordion Hazard (Xi) in its place. Then again, the warning klaxon from before you even SEE the orb DID mention the actual boss by name... There's also the large, unnamed battleship that appears in the Delta and Zeta zones, which you even get to go inside of in certain routes. In Delta, it releases a crystal containing Dual Horn, and in Zeta, it attempts to attack the mysterious comet that is actually Absolute Defender, who then blows the battleship away in a laser barrage.

Gaiden Game: The game Syvalion is meant to be a spinoff of the series, with you helping the people of Planet Darius halfway through the game. In turn, Darius Force's three final bosses (Zandick II, Megalopros and Galst Vic) are upgraded versions of enemies from the game, and the metal dragon makes a cameo in Dariusburst.

Continuity Cameo: Zone Lambda in G-Darius has what seems to be Titanic Lance, a particularly famous ancient squid That One Boss from Darius Gaiden, embedded on a cliffside, apparently crash-landing intact. Quite notably, it's so huge the game can only show it's head end; the fighter you're in is probably the size of...half its eye?

Updated Re-release
 Darius (Video Game) / int_df1793de
comment
Updated Re-release: The arcade version received two major upgrade kits (titled "New version" and "Extra" in the Cozmic Collection) which aim to smoothen out the difficult curve through methods like reducing the Dynamic Difficulty increase, lowering early boss healths while buffing later ones, buffing the laser so it's not such a Power-Up Letdown, etc while removing safe spots exploits. These three variants of the game are replicated in the Mega Drive Darius Extra release, but tailored for a single screen. Super Darius on the PC Engine restore the game's original 26 bosses plan. Its hucard version Darius Plus has less bosses due to the storage limitations of the cartridge format but introduces Supergrafx support (the only regular PC Engine cartridge to take advantage of the revision's specs) for reduced slowndown and flickering. G-Darius Ver.2 adds an autofire button, a condensed "Beginner Mode" that ends after three zones, captains to Zones that originally didn't have them, a timer for boss battles with corresponding score bonus and features rebalanced (and generally tougher) enemy placement. This version remained exclusive to the arcades until it was added in an updated for the Cozmic Revelation. Dariusburst Second Prologue is an updated version of the original Dariusburst with the Assault ship from Another Chronicle EX, as well as an SP Mode that features remixed versions of the existing 11 stages. Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+ backports the Murakumo ship — which was previuosly a CS Mode exclusive in Chronicle Saviours — into Another Chronicle EX, and introduces new event missions, which feature new music tracks and backport some tracks from Chronicle Saviours. It does not include the CS Mode from Chronicle Saviours or its exclusive bosses, however. Dariusburst CS Core, much like ACEX+, excludes AC Mode, but compensates for the lack of it by adding six new stages for CS Mode, three of them being the exclusive events originally available in ACEX+ with some differencesnote "Whip" bosses are replaced with other bosses, since the Whip line is specifically tailored to ACEX's 32:9 aspect ratio, and this game's adaptation of the "6th Interplanetary Conquest" mission, Rebuka, adds a boss fight against Gigantic Bite after Great Thing, as well as a scenario that recreates the events of the original Dariusburst. CS Core also includes Ghost Scores from ACEX+ and the option to save replays. Lastly, both the Taito and Sega DLC packs are included.

Your Head A-Splode
 Darius (Video Game) / int_e0789c2a
comment
Your Head A-Splode: In G-Darius, damaging Tripod Sardine enough causes his head to be blown off! He still survives, by the way. A few medium-sized Mooks behave the same way in Darius Gaiden - destroy their head, and they switch attacks. You can blow up what seems to be the Embryon's head, but it'll just get replaced a few seconds later. You want to aim at its "heart".

Nerf: The Taito Legends 2 version of Darius Gaiden limits turbo-fire to the rate you get by holding down the fire button in most versions, preventing the player from pulling off the ultra turbo-fire that can be done with cheat codes or with controllers with a turbo-fire function.

comment
The SNES Darius game Darius Force averts this with some bosses: The boss of Zone O, the Gaulst Vic, is what appears to be a Humongous Mecha ape/human skeleton. Another of the final zones has you up against the Megalopros, a mecha-pterodactyl. Meanwhile, Zones J and K feature the Stealther boss, which is a chameleon. Darius Twin features a walrus as one of the final bosses, and Darius II has a ''fetus-like'' creature as a boss (Twice, once as Bio Strong and the Mech. Bio Strong, and, bizarrely, a giant Silver Hawk- I.E, you.

Oddball in the Series: Darius Force stands out from the rest of the series with its comparatively darker and atmospheric art direction, multiple unusual gameplay mechanics (including restarts at checkpoints, weapon power being halved if both missiles and lasers/bombs are fired at the same time, and having to switch between laser and bombs instead of being able to fire both), a distinct lack of returning bosses from the previous games, an odd grid-based version of the branching path system that lets the player play anywhere from 5 to 7 stages, and it having the biggest proportion of bosses that aren't fish or marine life. Design sketches included in the Special edition of the Darius Cozmic Collection show that even wilder deviations from the series formula were considered, including making it a vertical shooter.

For those who are a bit less masochistic, ACEX+ can be played on the Switch's built-in 160-mm 720p screen or the OLED model's 180-mm 720p display. Even playing on a full-size TV can still be problematic, depending on the size of it and how far away you're sitting from it.
