 '''''Batsugun Special Version''''' was shown at the Amusement Machine Operators' Union (AOU) show in 1994 but was never released due to Toaplan's financial situation. The Special Version did eventually find its way onto the secondary market. It is prototypical of later [[CAVE]] games and arrange modes. It features multiple loops which increase in difficulty with faster and a high number of bullets, ship [[hitbox]]es are smaller, bombs are better at clearing the screen (having the same effect as both players bombing simultaneously in the original version<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asq-PP1GpIM</ref>), and the scoring is different.

 [[Batsugun]] (バツグン) is a [[Toaplan]] vertically scrolling shmup.  It is regarded as an important step in the future development of bullet hell games. It primarily feels like a classic [[Toaplan]] shmup in the beginning but it eventually turns into a more bullet hell affair later on. It also features a RPG-like level up system where your shot increases in power as you shoot down enemies and gain experience points.
