To create a Dual Fighter, allow a capture only while a reserve ship remains, then wait for the captor to dive with your fighter and shoot the boss. Avoid firing into the captive while the boss is parked in formation.

Galaga: Demons of Death — About this game
Galaga: Demons of Death is the US NES release of Namco's fixed-screen shooter. Enemy squadrons enter in patterns, assemble overhead, then dive with missiles and suicide attacks. Boss Galaga ships can steal a fighter with a tractor beam, but shooting the captor on a later dive recovers the ship as a Dual Fighter with twin shots. Challenge stages appear every third round and cannot cost a life, turning memorized flight paths and shot accuracy into large bonuses and a better final hit ratio.
