Great Wonderswan shmup by M-KAI, outstanding caravan game! :D
7 short stages (1 min each) with different goals/gimmicks based on the deadly sins.
Reaching an overall rank A (or B? don't remember) unlocks the TLB, while reaching rank S (or A?) unlocks its final form/last phase. S--- would be enough for this, so you could get up to 3 A's or 1 A and 1 B and still unlock it.
Below are the goals for every stage and how to reach Rank S. There are also extra scoring opportunities through speedkills and shield abuse (20M+ over a "low score" rank S).
"Envy - this one is very simple: just kill everything, don’t let a single enemy go away; 100% destruction ratio equals an S raking.
Sloth - for each particular amount of enemies killed an extra life is generated; it will quickly fall down the screen and can be destroyed by your firepower when falling; the objective is to “save” these ships, and to achieve an S ranking you need to save at least 15.
Greed - the non-intuitive objective here is to “scan” everything that happens in the level; this means blocking every possible bullet with the shield, seeing all patterns fired by an enemy before killing it and a few more weird things; in my opinion this is the toughest level to get an S ranking on.
Pride - register as many 100% multiplier tags as you can by speed-killing the approaching drones; abuse the shield whenever possible; at least 200 are needed for the S ranking.
Lust - speed-kill all waves; at least 11 waves are needed to achieve the S ranking.
Gluttony - collect as many golden items as possible; allow the screen to get full of bullets before destroying the orb that appears with each enemy wave; when the orb explodes all bullets are turned into items that are sucked into the ship; collect 350 or more to get an S.
Wrath - don’t die, each death deducts one grade of the S ranking (no deaths = S); keep destroying the mirror shield on the top of the screen to cancel the ship’s attacks and reduce its aggressiveness."

I also recommend watching this incredible live performance at Shmup Slam 5 by EeroKurkisuo, reaching 147M (his current PB and probably WR is 151M): • Shmup Slam 5 IRL Editi...
And here's my 142M PB in STG cvlt's channel • Cardinal Sins - Trial ...
-----------------------
EDIT: I used a 15Hz autofire to perform the double shot (i.e. holding the straight shot button and rapidly tapping wide shot), since that rate is built in my 8bitdo arcade stick (I've just found out that info). I think that's not the optimal rate for speedkills and building up the multiplier, but it was good enough for what I wanted to do. Just take that into consideration if you want to push for really high scores. IIRC EeroKurkisuo uses an autofire for the shield as well in certain spots, but I'd have to rewatch his video, it's been a while.
