Dodonpachi and Dodonpachi Daioujou background pictures

[7711]

Hi, I saw a lot of background pictures (with the whole stage background) for games like Ibara and PS and I was wondering if the same was available for the Dodonpachi series (mainly DDP and DoJ).
I still can't play any shmups at the moment (waiting to buy a new pc) and I believe having those would help me a lot to practise mentally (thinking about routes, trying to remember enemy position and patterns...)
Thanks

(mod edit - not directly strategy related, moved to Shmups Chat to get some more eyes on it)

Thanks ! Is Extra the Xbox version ? The pictures are a bit small but it should still help (:

I'm glad you find those helpful. You can still zoom in a little so the image gets bigger. I scanned those images from the small booklet that came with the first 360 batch and stitched them together. The Extra refers to a 360 only mode called X-Mode. The layout of the map is the same for all three different modes, White Label, Black label and X-Mode.

Well to be fair I don't need the pictures to be high resolution or anything, as a way to practice with some visual help these are perfect (:

Then I'm only missing the backgrounds for Dodonpachi and I'll be able to practice my two favourites games every day (:
Don't know if this method will bring good results, but I'll just see when I finally plays these games again

Looks like the stage 4 map is missing the part with enemies on rails, right after E and before the giant laser. Maybe that's because there aren't any bees?

Surely, yes. Because these pictures were on a spanish website, on a section from the post dedicated to bees localization.

Hello, do you still have those images? I know it's been over a decade but who knows. I'm doing a course work on arcade aesthetics and I'm collecting such material.
