Use Arcade Training Mode to practice boss patterns in DoDonPachi Resurrection Reignite. Version 1.1.0 added Training Mode to Arcade Mode on October 1, 2026. CAVE’s producer described stage selection, adjustable ship settings, and practice on specific sections; the official description does not confirm direct boss selection or a way to restart individual attacks.

Open Arcade Training Mode

Training Mode was added to Arcade Mode in version 1.1.0, according to the Steam Community update notice dated October 1, 2026. Update the game to that version or later, then look for Training Mode within Arcade Mode. The notice confirms the mode’s addition but does not give a precise menu path.

Choose a section and set up a practice run

CAVE producer Akihiro Kotani’s roadmap says players can choose a stage—including AREA6—adjust ship settings, and practice specific sections at their own pace. These are the documented options to use when building a focused practice run. The roadmap does not establish that a boss can be selected directly, or that you can restart a particular attack on demand.

When you reach the section you want to work on, practice it with one goal at a time:

  1. Watch the pattern first. Notice when the attack begins, where bullets concentrate, and which parts of the screen remain open.
  2. Choose a simple route. Identify the smallest safe movement that keeps you out of danger, rather than crossing the screen without a reason.
  3. Repeat and change one choice. On the next attempt, alter one movement decision—such as when you begin moving—so you can tell whether that change helps.
  4. Keep the useful approach. Once a route works consistently, repeat it before moving to another section or pattern.

This is a practice routine, not a list of in-game commands or a technique prescribed by CAVE. The documented feature is section practice; the exact controls and available reset behavior are not specified in the official description.

What the official description does not confirm

Do not assume Training Mode includes a boss-select screen, attack-level reset, health adjustment, or any other specific practice control. The producer roadmap confirms stage choice, ship-setting adjustments, and work on specific sections, but does not describe those additional controls. Check the current build’s menus before relying on them.
