FWIW the restart syndrome page for Raiden Fighters has some ship-specific scores that are higher than the currently listed records on this thread.
I definitely wouldn't mind getting that first-time play "high score" of mine getting replaced by something actually good

Wow, plasmo is really going for it! Can't forget to give props to MauCast's huge Viper Phase 1 score as well.

Let the summer shooting commence!

[M.Knight]

Whoa that Plasmo sweep is wild haha
Good to see CPS's Salamander efforts paying off too!

Meriscan, my Great Mahou Daisakusen score was slightly improved last month, and since the old score noted here was done on the significantly easier EU version I prefer to see it replaced.

Great Mahou Daisakusen (Japan) - Miyamoto
DMC - 83,244,520 - ALL - 108 Items - ShmupMAME v4.2

Niiice! It was already an incredibly strong score, beating in the harder mode is even more impressive! Congrats

[EmperorIng]

That Dimahoo score is indeed impressive, big congrats on that DMC! If it's the end of your Miyamoto journey it's a fine end indeed!

Maucast really killed it with Viper Phase 1 over the past few months as well, it was awesome to see his progress on the game especially over a relatively short period. And I always like seeing another NMK game on the monthly list

Huge score from daniil with Macross 2, it has been great to see him and other young lads take to that game across the various shmup discords. It was a lot of fun doing a competition with them during the Summer Relay a few weeks ago!

I can't believe that MauCast is still inching higher with Sengoku Ace; seriously crazy stuff! And of course, what could be better than a new record in Black Shart?

I hate to correct you but my Sonic Wings 3 Ellen score was posted on restartsyndrome 2 weeks ago and higher than Prickly's :

Sonic Wings 3 (Ellen & Cincia) - 2,938,800 - EmperorIng
