These reward completing each scenario, difficulty, 1ccs and no-miss runs. This game sees the return of Spell Practice and marks the addition of 'Achievements' to the mainline franchise. Triggering such a Berserk Roaring Mode which matches your Shot Type and/or with more than three Beast Items will elongate its duration. For three of more Eagle Spirits, the player's unfocused shot will be improved (and shot even whilst focused).For three or more Otter Spirits, the player will receive an orbiting bullet shield.For three or more Wolf Spirits, the player's focused shot will be improved (and shot even whilst unfocused).Triggering Roaring Mode with three or more of the same Beast Spirits will give the player special bonuses. All standard non-basic drops (lives, bombs, high-value power & high-value points) now also feed into this system. While ending Roaring Mode by timeout creates new Beast Items, ending it through any other method triggers a Spirit Strike which deletes nearby bullets. Similarly to Perfect Cherry Blossom's Supernatural Border mode, Roaring Mode can end by timeout, calling off or by being hit, which negates the hit. Upon collecting five Spirit Items, the player enters Roaring Mode. There are three Beast Spirits items (one for Wolf, Otter and Eagle) which periodically cycle in an order. Upon defeating certain enemies and in-between each Spell Card, items called Spirit Items will appear on screen and bounce around for a very long time, similar to Undefined Fantastic Object's UFOs. 'Wolf' powers up the player's focused shot, 'Otter' powers up the player's bombs, and 'Eagle' powers up the player's unfocused shot. The player can equip one of three animal spirits, namely 'Wolf', 'Otter' and 'Eagle'. There are three main characters: Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Youmu Konpaku.
