{{nihongo foot|'''''DoDonPachi'''''|怒首領蜂||an [[ateji]] spelling of an [[onomatopoeia]] of gunfire, literally "furious leader bee"|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a [[Vertically scrolling video game|vertically-scrolling]] [[bullet hell]] [[Shoot 'em up|shoot' em up]] developed by [[Cave (company)|Cave]] and published by [[Atlus]] in 1997. It was the second game developed by Cave, and the sixth on Cave's first-generation arcade hardware. As with its predecessor ''[[DonPachi]]'', the title is both a Japanese term for expressing the sound of gunfire, and a term that relates to bees (here it means "angry leader bee"). The sequel to this game is ''[[DoDonPachi II]]'', which was made by a different developer. The original developer later released its own sequel, ''[[DoDonPachi DaiOuJou]]''.

==Gameplay==
[[File:ARC DoDonPachi.png|thumb|left|Arcade version screenshot showcasing the Type A ship fighting against Hachi]]
Compared to ''DonPachi'', ''DoDonPachi'' is generally known for introducing new gameplay elements while improving or changing existing ones.<ref name="DDPhg101">{{cite web|last=Johnson|first=Spencer|url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/dodonpachi/|title=DoDonPachi|publisher=Hardcore Gaming 101|date=25 February 2014|access-date=2021-01-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201212221634/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/dodonpachi/|archive-date=2020-12-12|url-status=live}}</ref> The overall background of the game, unlike following sequels, remains more or less centered around a supposed invasion by a mysterious race of mechanized aliens, which the player is called to face throughout its run. However, more sinister and shocking secrets lie beneath the surface, accessible only to those brave and skilled enough to clear the entire game.

;Fighters
The player takes on the role of a squadron fighter facing a race of mechanized aliens that recently appeared and started causing havoc. There are three different ships to choose between, and each ship can be played in ''Laser'' or ''Shot'' mode.

* <span style="color:red;">Type A</span>: A red (or yellow/orange, for player two) fighter, which fires a narrow stream of shots.
* <span style="color:green;">Type B</span>: A green (or purple, for player two) [[helicopter]], which fires its main guns forward, but has side guns that rotate in the direction of movement.
* <span style="color:blue;">Type C</span>: A blue (or black, for player two) fighter, which fires a wide, three-way spread of shots.

;Weapons
Each aircraft has a main forward-firing gun used by tapping the two shot buttons, the style of which is determined by the type of fighter chosen. Each ship also has two small floating guns which it deploys at the start of the game. The placement of the guns is different on each craft, which affects their firing style. If the fire button is held down, the floating guns combine in front of the ship to produce a vertical beam, which provides more firepower than standard fire. This also makes the ship move more slowly. An aura is generated around the player's ship, which damages any contacting enemy. If the laser is fired at close proximity to an enemy, the laser delivers more damage to the enemy.

The ship has a limited number of bombs, which are activated by pressing the bomb button. There are two types of bombs that can be used at any time the player could normally use, and there is no penalty for picking a particular bomb to use, aside from the point reductions that using a bomb might give said player. These bombs are triggered based on whether the player is using standard fire or laser fire when the bomb button is pressed:

* While firing standard shots, bombs produce a large explosion which damages or destroys all enemies on-screen, and makes all enemy projectiles disappear for the entire duration of the explosion.
* While firing the laser, the ship unleashes a high-powered beam instead, which does more damage at the cost of range. Enemy projectiles in the beam's range will be destroyed.

At the beginning of the game, the player has three bomb slots, and the slot count increases by one every time the player loses a life (up to six slots).

;Power-Up Modes
Each ship can be played with a Shot or Laser boost, making the chosen mode of firing more powerful; the mode is chosen as the player chooses their ship:

* ''Shot Mode'' increases the density/spread of standard shots, essentially doubling standard firepower.
* ''Laser Mode'' increases the effectiveness of the laser weapon, allowing the laser to penetrate through multiple enemies. It also gives the player a shield against minor bombarding enemies while firing the beam.

When the player loses a life, the chosen weapon's power is decreased by one, and the other weapon's power is decreased to the lowest level.

;Collectible Items
There are three types of [[power-up]] items in the game, identified by different letters:

*'''P''': Makes the player's guns stronger and laser thicker.
*'''B''': Adds one bomb to the player's supply. The player can hold a maximum of three bombs at the start; this maximum increases by one whenever the player loses a life, to a complete maximum of six.
*'''MP''': Appears after the player has lost all their lives; as such, it can only be picked up upon a continue. Collecting this powers up the player's weapons to full strength.
*Bee: There are 13 golden bees scattered throughout the stage, which are exposed by firing the head of lasers over the area. The value of each collected bee increases throughout each stage, provided the player does not lose a life, beginning with 100, then 200, 400, 800, 1,000, 2 000, 4 000, 8,000, 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 80,000, and finally 100,000. When the player loses a life, the next collected bee drops back to 100 points.
*Star: Gives 100 points when picked up. When a mid-boss or end boss is destroyed, each of its bullets is converted into a star.
*Giant star: Gives 10,000 points when picked up. In a multi-part boss, destroying a non-critical component causes a giant star to appear.
*Pentagon: Gives 300 points when picked up. Pentagons are only found on the ground.

;MAXIMUM bonus
New to ''DoDonPachi'' is the addition of "MAXIMUM mode". This mode is triggered whenever a bomb is collected when all bomb slots are full. During MAXIMUM mode, the player's score increases by at least 220 points per 1/60th second, except during boss fights. The score multiplier begins with 2, and increases by 1 for every successive bomb collected in MAXIMUM mode. Whenever a bomb is used or the player loses a life, MAXIMUM mode ends until bomb overstocking occurs again, which will cause the multiplier to resume at the last multiplier value. The multiplier is carried over to successive stages (including new loops).

;Get Point System
The ''Get Point System'' (GPS) from ''DonPachi'' is improved. Destroying an enemy or part of an enemy increases the combo by 1 and builds up a combo gauge on the left side. The combo gauge constantly drains, and the combo is broken when it empties. Using the laser to continuously damage an enemy will maintain a low level on the gauge and periodically increases the combo by 1. The player receives an increasing number of points for the same enemy with a larger hit count.

In boss battles, there is no combo gauge. A combo hit counter simply increases when the boss is hit by the player's Laser or Laser Bomb, and decreases otherwise. The part of the boss being hit can be a non-critical portion to increase the hit count, but not including enemies released by the boss after the boss battle began.

;Areas
The game has 7 areas, but area 7 is only accessible by entering the 2nd loop. Said 2nd loop is accessible by completing the first 6 areas on 1 credit and fulfilling one of the following requirements:

*Loses at most 2 fighters (lives).
*Depending on the fighter used, have a maximum hit count of at least the following:
:''Type A'': 270 hits
:''Type B'': 300 hits
:''Type C'': 330 hits
*Score at least 50 million points at the end of area 6.
*Collect all 13 bees in four of the six areas.

The second loop has the same areas, enemy patterns, and bosses as the first loop, but the number of bullets the enemies fire is greatly increased. Destroying the area 6 boss in the second loop unlocks a secret area where the player fights the trademark boss of the series, the giant mechanical bee Hachi (蜂; 'bee'). When the player defeats it, they will then fight Hibachi (火蜂; 'fire bee'), the true final boss in ''DoDonPachi''. If it is defeated then the best ending is achieved. After completing an area, the player gains the following scores based on performance in the completed area:

*Boss hit: It is the sum of the base boss score, and rewards 5,000 points per hit combo when a boss is destroyed.
*Star: 500 points per item collected in the area using the current life.
*Pentagon: 1,000 points per item collected in the area using the current life.
*NO MISS: If the player did not lose a life in the completed area, the player gets 200,000 points for Area 1, and the bonus increases by 100,000 points for each successive area. For second loop areas, the player gets 2,000,000 points for Area 1, and the bonus increases by 1,000,000 points for each successive area.

If the second loop is completed with 1 credit, the player gets 10 million points for each reserved fighter.

;Endings
If players fail to meet the requirements for second loop access, they are simply congratulated by the DonPachi Corps leader, Colonel Schwarlitz Longhener, for their bravery in battle. No credits will be presented to the player for finishing the game this way.

Should the requirements be met, however, Longhener reveals - in a shocking twist - that the "mechanized aliens" were in fact the pilot's own comrades (the International version of the game renders this as a "lost fleet" legendary among cadets) trying to actually '''stop''' them, being aware of Longhener's nefarious scheme revealed in the true and final ending. Having served its purpose, Longhener orders his elite fleet to annihilate the pilot, and on this premise the second loop of the game begins.

If the player completes the game once again, this time without any kind of requirement except the annihilation of the ultimate fighting machine ''Hibachi'' (in which Longhener is killed piloting), in the true ending the pilot realizes that the DonPachi's true goal was to annihilate the human race, owing to Longhener's deranged idea that mankind was a flawed creation to be eradicated from existence. The existing problems of overpopulation, environmental pollution, and arms races were solved by this one-man war. The pilot wonders in the end if maybe Longhener - instead of being the genocidal maniac he claimed to be - had actually intended this extreme solution from the very beginning. The staff credits appear afterwards.
