'''''GwangeDash''''' is to [[Bullet Hell|shmups]] what [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] is to fighting games.
 
An indie game that combines elements from many different shooters, mainly [[CAVE]] games, and with an impressive amount of playable ships from various games: [[Don Pachi|DON-8D A-Type, DON-8D B-Type, DON-8Z, DON-8Z Replica, Hibachi, ]-[|/34<#!]], [[Shikigami no Shiro|G&G ESP Stream]], [[Ketsui|Tiger Schwert]], [[Guwange|Rain]], [[Border Down|Red Wasp]], [[Twin Cobra (Video Game)|Twin Cobra]], [[Xevious|Solvalou]], [[Gemini Wing]], [[XII Stag]], Spirit & Saber, [[Gradius|Vic Viper]], [[Ikaruga]], [[Mutant Night|Mu-Tron]], [[Giga Wing|Raijin]] and Blaster Mk-VI. The scoring system is lifted right out of [[Don Pachi|DoDonPachi Dai-Oh-Jou]], and a lot of other shmups are represented via enemies and bosses.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: [[Xevious|Solvalou]] has one of the most powerful shots in the game, and its ground attack will eliminate nearly any ground-based enemy in one hit. The catch is that the standard shot cannot hit enemies on the ground, and just as in the original game, the ground attack is only useable at a fixed absolute distance from the ship itself.
** Awesome for playing but impractical for scoring is [[Don Pachi|]-[|/34<#!]], which plays like a very powerful version of the normal DDP ships, but has a hard time scoring well as building a lasting hit chain with it is very difficult. Hibachi is similar, as while it can spray continuous death all day long, it only has two speeds: Insanely fast and painfully slow, and to uncover bees with it you need to be right on top of them.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* [[Degraded Boss]]: The first stage boss of ''DoDonPachi'' appears as a midboss on the final stage.
* [[Dual Boss]]: On higher difficulties, you fight two [[Radiant Silvergun]] fighters rather than one at the end of stage three.
* [[Expy]]: G&G ESP Stream is [[Shikigami no Shiro|Kotaroh Kuga]] in ship form, Rain is [[Guwange|Kosame]] and Spirit & Saber is the dragon from... well, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Dragon Spirit and Dragon Saber]].
** A robotic enemy that behaves similarily to the high school stage boss of [[EspESP Ra De (Video Game)|Esp Ra .De]] makes an appearance in stage 4.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Black Heart to an extent, but the final boss takes it to the extreme by using enemies, hostile player ships and finally [[R-Type|Force units]] as projectiles, all firing shots of their own as well.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Intentional with [[Don Pachi|Hibachi]], who can fire a [[Bullet Hell]] of its own.
