Stage 1
For the boss, you will need to stand directly in front of it and constantly fire crush missiles. If you are lucky, the red core in the center will not fire a shot immediately at the beginning of the fight. If you are not lucky you will die and have to reset. You have approximately a 1/5 chance of survival.
Stage 2
Before your character appears, switch to your right hand. Hold Y and down. You will fire three crush missiles that are guaranteed to take out the first bunkers. You will need to use diagonal walking to get through this stage quickly. There are two possible attack patterns
For the boss, you will be turning 180 degrees (don't move the D-Pad) and then moving backward slightly. This will cause the boss to land directly in front of you. Fire one salvo of missiles and do not move unless absolutely necessary to finish the boss off instantly.
Stage 3
For the first phase of the midboss you need to drop down onto the spinning pole immediately. With proper positioning you can kill the first phase before you have to jump off the pole. After the midboss is defeated, there will be an automatic scrolling section. This section is very prone to lag so it is recommended that you stay as close as possible to the top of the screen.
The boss fight has two phases. In the first phase you fight the red and blue skeletons. You can either jump up on the left side of the room and approach the skeletons from the ceiling or stand on the left side of the room and attack. If you attack from the ceiling, make sure to never be directly above the red skeleton as it can jump straight up and grab the ceiling. The ceiling strategy is completely safe if you can avoid the red skeleton. Standing on the left side of the room may be faster with good luck, however there is a risk that the blue skeleton may gun you down.
Stage 4
It is difficult to describe the correct way to do the boss fight. You need to pay attention to the way in which the boss moves back and forth. When firing crush missiles you need them to hit as the boss is moving toward you in order to do maximum damage.
