Slightly longer than the 1-6 chain, thanks to the start being easier to chain here. The chaining is almost as automatic as 2-5, but there is a lot of difficult dodging. Bees are skipped because of the difficulty of the stage and the fact that the two bees by the stage 3 midboss ships are especially hard to get. There's one bomb in the end, since it hardly costs any score at that point. The boss is not included since it doesn't have the same score significance as the others due to there being no more maximum bonus to be had after it. It's also extremely difficult and I cannot beat it consistently with only three bombs.

Almost all parts of the stage require very precise execution to do well. The row of three big tanks in the start, the green wall firing ships and the tank road in the end are the most notably difficult parts. A good thing to notice for the last one is that you can kill some of the left side turrets while they are far enough out of the screen to be unable to fire back. Chaining the end part here is easier than in 1-6, but it's still something I never practiced much so it's not done here.
