 Exclusive to the 2P versions of ''Hellfire'' in this  edition of the game, there are multiple configurations for how the Change button works.
-'''Types A and B qualify for ARCADE and ARCADE ALLMIX rankings, while the rest only qualify for ARCADE ALLMIX ranking.'''

 | B || SAFETY || As in type A, but the Change button is disabled while using the Shot (30 Hz Synchro) button. <br> ''This only applies to the Shot Synchro button. If using a regular Shot button with the standard rapid-fire options (10/12/15/20/30 Hz) applied, the Change button will still behave as in type A.
