Each level ends with a boss, but things are switched up with the TAITO/SEGA pach, which bring the CS and DLC modes from the DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours on PS4, Vita, and Steam. This brings the whole history of the Darius saga to Nintendo Switch for the first time.

• In DLC mode, pilot the six guest ships from SEGA and TAITO franchises in dedicated stages.

Those six new ships in DariusBurst CS:

• Metal Black / Black Fly (TAITO): A side scrolling shooter released into arcades in 1991. It was known for its unique beam-duels, hard-boiled story and elaborate direction. 
• RayForce / X-Lay (TAITO): A vertically scrolling shooter released into arcades in 1994. Targeting multiple enemies with the lock on laser was the key to mastering this game. 
• Space Harrier / Harrier (SEGA): Harrier the warrior uses his super blaster in his adventures from the all-time classic Sega shooting game. 
• Galaxy Force II / TRY-Z (SEGA): Sega’s ultimate “body-sensing” game. The Super Deluxe Type cabinet wowed players with its movement: 15 degrees up or down and 335 degrees to both the right or left..
