3) Boss Strategies
You should take the bosses out in this order: Start with Toad Man, then
Bright Man, Pharaoh Man, Ring Man, Crystal Man, Napalm Man, Stone Man and
at last Charage Man.
Toad Man
========
Weakness: Ring Boomerang
Get Weapon: Rain Flush
Toad Man is very easy, if you know what to do. Just use your standard weapon
on him. Fire at him and he will jump. Dodge the jump and shoot at him again.
Repeat the procces until he is defeated. If you have Ring Boomerang, use it
to kill him faster.
Bright Man
==========
Weakness: Rain Flush
Get Weapon: Flash Stopper
Bright Man is a bit harder than Toad Man, but he is not a hard boss. Just use
Rain Flush and dodge his jumps. Sometimes he freezes you and jump on you to
cause damage.
Pharaoh Man
===========
Weakness: Flash Stopper
Get Weapon: Pharaoh Shot
An easy battle if you have Flash Stopper. Just use Flash Stopper to stop him
and fire at him. When he unfreeze use it again and fire at him.
Ring Man
========
Weakness: Pharaoh Shot
Get Weapon: Ring Boomerang
Charage up Pharaoh Shot fully and try to make him land on it. This strategy
worked for me but if does not work for you, just try to hit him with Pharaoh
Shot.
Antenna
=======
Weakness: None
Get Weapon: None
Shoot at the ball with your Mega Buster when it is exposed. Not Hard.

Get Weapon: None
This boss is not very hard, just shoot at him with a fully charged Mega
Buster when he is not moving.

If you have the Charge Kick use it. If you don't have it use your Mega
Buster. He is a bit hard.

Use the Crystal Eye against him. If you shoot against the wall, the
Crystal Eye will spilt into four smal Crystal Eyes.

Try to jump over his stones and use the Napalm Bomb, when youre near and
when he is not doing anything. He is quite hard.
