Defeating Armored Armadillo Use the Electric Spark to short out his armor, then continue shocking him until he explodes. He will fight back by shooting slow shots or rolling around the room.
Arm part Go to Spark Mandrill's stage. When you get to the place where the lights turn off the second time, go past the first hole. There will be some blocks where you need the Head part to break. Break them to get the Arm part.
Defeating Geemel You will find Geemel in Wheel Gator's stage and in Sigma's fortress. Just jump over his blades, and fry him with the Speed Burner. When you fight him in Sigma's fortress, he will jump on a flying platform halfway through the battle. Keep knocking him off with the Speed Burner.
Extra lives This trick is useful if you cannot defeat a Boss. Go to Flame Stag's level (preferably after Flame Stag has already been defeated). At the part immediately after the auto-save, where you have to jump up the walls to avoid the rising lava, go straight. You will see an extra life in a sort of nook. Collect it and quickly exit the level. Repeat this to get up to nine lives.
Foot Capsule Go to the Chill Penguin stage, and keep going until you find the Capsule. Note to get other capsules, you may first need to get the Foot upgrade.
Hard mode Successfully complete the game to unlock a harder version of the game.
Defeating Spider This can be a difficult battle. If it is not shooting little spiders at you, it will descend the poles, using the bars to get across. It cannot be hit until it reaches the bottom and opens its eye - a prime target for your Shotgun Ice. Note: It will always take a bar across if it touches one.
Defeating Serges Stay on the platform and use the Electric Spark to destroy the four cannons. After Serges is exposed, use charged shots or rapid fire to eliminate him, but watch out for the exploding orbs he sends out.
Defeating Storm Eagle When he flaps his wings or uses his Storm Tornado to send you back, just keep dashing at him, firing charged shots. When he flies away then dives at you, just jump out of the way.
Unlimited lives This can only be done after you have unlocked Hard Mode -- you have to go to Morph Moth's stage to do it. When you first start, move forward past the two pillars with robots on them, then dash-jump right from the second pillar and wall jump up. There is an life waiting there. If you have already defeated Morph Moth, you can keep going back and getting it repeatedly.
Defeating Wheel Gator He often sinks under the oil covering the bottom of the screen, tossing out sawblades at random. Stay on the walls. When he jumps out, he will not be able grab you in his jaws. Hit him with Magnet Mines when he stays up long enough to launch blades off his shoulders. When he opens his mouth to fire regular shots, your shots will bounce off.
Extreme mode Successfully complete the game under hard mode. Extreme mode consists of the eight Bosses without the story version of the game.
X-Buster Capsule Note: You first need the head upgrade. In the Spark Mandrill stage, go to the second dark room. Keep going and look at the ceiling of the stage. If you are quick enough, you should be able to see some blocks that are breakable with the head upgrade. Keep jumping and breaking the blocks to end up in a room with the X-Buster Capsule. |
