Lay down and still hit targets in basses
Sent in by Kydd Lawless
While you're in the 3-D base levels (like level 2), you can actually hit
the higher targets on the wall while still laying down if you hold
Up on Controller 2 at the same time.
Boss tips

On Level 1 get the spread, kill the drone gun and run in shooting up-right
to kill him fast.
On the Level 2 boss stand on the edge of one of the birds wings
and shoot up when the boss comes across the screen.
On Level 3 boss shoot the arms and then stand in front of where 2 pipes
go in the ground shoot up when the boss opens his mouth.
Base tips
Sent in by Greg Smeck
The best weapon in the bases is laser, it takes out the targets in about 2
shots. On base 2, start by killing the targets on the sides, then the guns,
then the middle. This way you can concentrate on the enemy without fire
from the side guns. On base 4 start in the middle and then go for the sides.
