This mechanic of your Khourieat growing and evolving as you progress through the game is really neat.
Episode 2
When you start the level, you'll be shooting down all sorts of creatures coming out from underground to hit you from behind. They can be killed easily with a few shots.
Once they're gone, start looking forward again. You'll start seeing Imperial ships from a distance. You'll also take on some Imperial Khourieat riders, but they're pretty easy, too.
Once your ride jumps off the cliff, you'll be flying. Finally! As you're flying, keep a close eye on the radar in the upper-right hand corner of the screen to find out where all the aerial troops are coming from.
The big Imperial ships shoot spiked cannonballs at you as you take them out. You'll have to fly around them to keep from taking unnecessary damage.
Once you reach the ground, it'll be a few seconds before you touch the floor and start running again. You'll then fight the boss.
We finally find out what that green gauge above the health meter does: it's for the new super attack. All you have to do is lock on and set it off, and you'll shoot a huge rain of lasers. This is best used for bosses, as this attack can put a good dent in them.
As you fight the boss, avoid and/or shoot down the missiles and debris. If you use your super attack here, you can shoot those things to refill the gauge for it. Once you fill it up, let 'em have it again!
Once you clear episodes after the second one, you'll get results showing how well you did. Hitting 100% of all the enemies in all the stages is essential, as it helps you get more points and unlock some of the secret in Pandra's Box in the Option Mode. As for the points, the better you do, the more you get. Get enough points, and you can unlock additional routes through the levels amongst other things.
Episode 3
It's time to escape into the forest...only to be further chased after by the Mecchania Empire. They're not after you or Lagi though...they're after the Ancient Ship.
The speeder bikes take a bit of damage, but charging your shots up speeds up the pace of their destruction.
The multi-segmented ships can be easily destroyed in one swoop with charged shots. Just watch out for those missiles.
Those little flying fish things can be taken down in one shot.
The big black ship sends out a lot of baddies after you. Take them out and shoot at the ship with charged shots. Don't be afraid to let loose with your Super, as this thing can take a beating.
The boss here is some sort of precursor to the Dark Dragon (I guess). Shoot at it with charged shots (and your super), and watch out against the red balls that it shoots at you, as they move around in some sort of circle. It will hide in the trees and send enemies that spit fire into the air at you, and it can also get in front of you and try to swipe you with its claws. Every once in a while, it will shoot a huge shuriken at you. You can easily avoid it, though.
Once you beat the boss, you'll enter some ruins...
