Unlock Hidden Stages
There are three sets of hiddden stages in R-Type F; stage 2, stage 3.5, and the hidden final stages. To unlock the various versions of stage 2, shoot the red or blue capsule on the stage 2 bulb boss. Breaking the red node will make the stage progressively drier on your next play while cracking the blue node will make the stage wetter and colder. There are five versions of stage 2 (stage 2.2 seems to be the default).

To unlock stage 3.5 (an extra stage between stage 3 and stage 4), clear stage 3 "Battleship Raid" with ship #69 "Cross the Rubicon". You may select another ship to clear stage 3.5, but stage 3 must be completed using ship #69.

To unlock the final stages, reach the boss of stage 5 ('Dimension 26'). It will have red and blue armatures that can be destroyed to alter your final stage. Not ddestroying any of the armatures will result in the last boss "Bydo"; breaking any of the blue arms will result in the last boss "R-9 Arrowhead"; breaking any of the red arms will result in the last stage "Whereever".

Defeating Bydo
This boss fight is fairly simple. First, make sure you have a Force bit before you face Bydo. When you get to Bydo, wait for your Force to flash and glow. When it does, shoot the Force at Bydo. It will stick into Bydo's side. When you are sure that it is planted in, charge one meters worth of your Wave Cannon and fire it at the Force. The Force will explode and your Wave Cannon gauge will be busted. From here onward, the Bydo's only attack will be shooting copies of your Force at you. You must dodge these. You must charge your Wave Cannon until it flashes to kill it, but it will take longer since the gauge is busted. The gauge will slowly but surely charge. When it does, release it for a gigantic shot that will wipe out Bydo.
