** Crash Style is a "collect" type, using your combo as the resource. Pressing the special button will consume 32 combo to power your shots up for four beats. In ''ARC⌖CODA'', [[BalanceBuff it will also allow you to shield against red bullets during this same period]].



* {{Combos}}: These determine how much damage shooting can do. You can sacrifice 32 in Crash Style to go into a SuperMode for four beats.

An UsefulNotes/{{arcade|Game}} spinoff, ''NOISZ: ARC⌖CODA'', was released in 2022 for the exA-Arcadia hardware platform. Unlike the original game, there is no story mode; you simply play three songs of your choice, and instead of having damage negated when you run out of life, the song ends prematurely. Additionally, there are courses of four songs each available for play. Players who also have ''NOISZ STARLIVHT'' can upload their ''ARC⌖CODA'' scores via the former app by scanning QR codes.
