Bullet Hells with Checkpoints

To clarify: Bullet hell games where you die in one hit and get sent back to a checkpoint.
Just a random curiosity as to how many examples of this exist. The only one I can think of is Progear's second loop.

If you're willing to count it as bullet hell, V-V.

In Gradius V by default you respawn immediately, but if memory serves you can enable checkpoints in the options menu.

I don't really think Gradius V is a bullet-hell.

I don't really think Gradius V is a bullet-hell.

On higher loops it most certainly is.

And yes, there is an option to turn on checkpoints for Gradius V, but it is not the default.

I thought all shoot'em ups were bullet hell.

I'd thought about mentioning Gradius V, but I didn't since, as mentioned above, the checkpoints are optional. I'd definitely describe some of the footage I've seen of Loop 10 bullet hell, though.

Otomedius X(Excellent) and Otomedius G(Gorgeous) may serve the same purpose about loop 10.
