Einhander/YMMV
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Shudder.
- Cult Classic
- Game Breaker:
- The Flash, a secret unlockable gunpod, is quite simply the best weapon in the game. And once you get it, you can select it as a starter gunpod in a new game.
- The Grenade and Python also qualify, both arguably the most powerful gunpods in terms of damage per hit. However, the Python is shot out in a rather randomly arranged string, making it hard to hit enemies and thus Awesome but Impractical.
- The Astraea Mk II. Sometimes called the Red Selene, this fighter is identical to the Astraea Mk I, but has 9999 rounds of ammo for any gunpod it picks up or starts with. Getting this fighter is difficult, since you need to clear the game on hard difficulty without continuing (you can die twice). It's much harder than it seems!
- That One Boss: Schwarzgeist. Hyperion is one too.
- That One Level: The second half of Stage 5, after beating the miniboss. It's so filled with enemies and bullets that if you don't destroy them in time, you'll be swamped all over!
- What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: Shudder drops a couple of F-bombs in it's vocals. Keep in mind, this game was rated "E", where saying "damn" once is considered pushing the limit.
