''Cho Ren Sha 68k'' (超連射68K, lit. "Super Rapid Fire") is a 1995 ShootEmUp by Famibe no Yosshin that will take you back to the classic era of shoot 'em ups. Back to a simpler time where shooters didn't needed a complex plot or an engrossing story to be fun; just simple graphics, catchy chiptune music, simple to understand yet fun gameplay, a desire to destroy all sorts of enemy spaceships, and [[BulletHell LOTS of bullets]].

* MinusWorld: In the secret options menu, setting the stage number to 0 but leaving the BossRush flag disabled will dump you into a version of "Stage 0" where the TrueFinalBoss theme plays but nothing happens. Since there's no command to quit your current game session, the only meaningful action you can take is to exit the game.

* MeaningfulName:
** The game's title translates to "Super [[MoreDakka Rapid Fire]]". Which is basically what you and the [[BulletHell enemies]] do in this game. Ironically, the game does not have a full-autofire button.
** Why is the 7th stage called "Stage 0"? [[spoiler:Because after you defeat the Stage 0 boss, [[WhereItAllBegan you see the explosion from the beginning of Stage 1, followed by the beginning of Stage 1 of the subsequent loop]].]]

** Even the Stage 0 boss is this, as defeating it simply takes you back to Stage 1 this time with suicide bullets. Unless you're on loop 2, in which case prepare for the TrueFinalBoss.

* TrueFinalBoss: Defeating the Stage 0 boss during the second loop initiates the battle against [[spoiler:a gigantic angelic mecha with 3 forms. Just like every member of this trope, it's backed up by [[MoreDakka a shit-ton of bullets.]]]]

* NoPlotNoProblem: Not a single plot or story exist anywhere in this game.

* TakingYouWithMe: Starting on the second loop, enemies will fire bullets at you upon dying, forcing you to keep moving after every kill. The type of bullet and pattern changes with each loop.

** When Stage 2-0 is completed, an explosion happens -- the exact same explosion from the beginning of the game -- and the game displays "STAGE 1", confirming the StableTimeLoop.

* WhamLine: When the stage after stage 6 starts: "STAGE ''0''". Furthermore, dying and ranking in on this stage shows the stage you reached as "''2''-0", indicating that officially, this stage is part of the second loop, even though it's your first time getting to this stage. This foreshadows the stage's connection with Stage 1 that completes the game's StableTimeLoop.

** A stage select mode.
*** However, be careful when setting the stage variable to 0. Starting this stage with the BossRush flag enabled will dump you into an empty version of Stage 0 where you immediately fight the Stage 5 boss, but starting the stage with the flag off will put you in the same stage, scrolling endlessly, rendering the game UnwinnableByMistake and forcing you to quit out of the game executable.
