Pretty sure Bio-Ship Paladin could give Gunnail a run for its money.

My money's on the carrier ship from Sigma Star Saga and the titular Bioship Paladin (as noted above)

Probably Slap Fight when you have max wings.

I'd like to argue that since you only lose the wings if those get hit, only the slapper itself counts. (which is admittedly still big, but not competitor big.)Steven wrote:Probably Slap Fight when you have max wings.

Not sure if it's the largest, but it's one of the biggest I ever played and it's really dumb.
The hitbox is the red square. Yes, it's bigger than the ship sprite.

I wonder if anyone remembers that Xbox360 Live Arcade game You Will Die, where the developer bragged about making the hitbox unfair.

Battle Squadron may give Xenon a run for its money.

Fission Superstar X has the worst of all due to the absurd size of the ship.
Fan of Transformers, Shmups and Anime-styled Girls. You're teamed up with the right pilot!

I'm putting my money on GIGA SHOOTER The ship is so huge that you're mostly trying to minimize the parts of it that get destroyed by enemy collisions and bullets just so you can reach the next restore item

Well it is a bit unconventional though for sure

Been many years since I've played it but what about Bermuda Triangle (JP ver)?

Kings knight final stage.
Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
Oh yeah, I remembered that one thing that you fly in that one stage in Natsuki Chronicles that takes up like a third of the screen.
Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
Did anyone ever got to play Nave, I think it was arcade-only in Argentina? Old topic here.
I wonder what the hitbox is on the player ship taking up the whole screen.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
I want to say Strike Force Hydra on the PS1 (aka the best shmup in the entire world) has an extremely big hitbox but I might be remembering it wrong.
Edit: This is the hitbox!

Wasnt the hitbox of the R-101 unplayably large in the GBA port of R-Type 3?

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
Just checked a video of this game and holy crap how did this shit got a PS1 release? This looks worse than the games my high-school students made when I was a teacher.Starfighter wrote:I want to say Strike Force Hydra on the PS1 (aka the best shmup in the entire world) has an extremely big hitbox but I might be remembering it wrong.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
I have no idea. No idea. The ship is supposed to be a water... thingy, so it has this momentum to it that's really weird but at least you can jump over most of the obstacles. If you pick up a few powerups (by killing the enemies going in circles) you can 1CC it first try. It's so bad it's funny. A community I was part of many years ago thought it was so hilariously bad we started talking about it as if it was the superior shmup. "All hail the Hydra!" and so on. I still got my copy and I'm holding on to it, I'm sure it'll be a sought after gem in the future. It is after all a great game. The best game.Shatterhand wrote:Just checked a video of this game and holy crap how did this shit got a PS1 release? This looks worse than the games my high-school students made when I was a teacher.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
So it's like Sonic R in that it's so unbelievably terrible that it's actually fun as shit? In that case I might have to go try it on the MiSTer.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
Do it! If you're real lucky you might even get stuck on one of the bosses, some are known to glitch out and stop taking damage.
Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
Hell yeah, that's my favourite type of boss.
I don't know if I ever mentioned it before, but I actually love super shitty games like CrazyBus, Deep Blue, Action 52, Sonic R, and all of those super terrible 80s/90s bootlegs, so this sounds amazing.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
I'll go off-topic here for a little and defend Sonic R.
That game is awesome. You just don't know how to play it. Hmpf.
For real, I really think it's a misunderstood game, I think it's a very good one.

Re: Ship with the largest hit box in a shmup?
I love Sonic R. I love it because I know how to play it, but it's definitely complete trash of the best kind. It is a must-play Saturn game and everyone needs to play it. It is absolutely a whole lot better when you know how to play it for sure.

Sega's composers always go hard, no matter the game quality.
That goes for double on Sonic games.

Not the biggest perhaps, but dragon spirit definitely has one chunky monkey of a sprite/hitbox.
