Level 5: Canyon Base

(continued)

Shoot down the yellow machine on treads to keep it from crushing you as you pass under it.

You'll also see Cobra Commandos on guard towers too, so keep an eye on the top of the screen.

The boss here is the Weapons Manufacturer, Destro. He'll send enemies from out of the water, and the planes will be backing him up just like with the other bosses. Watch out for the green men that stick their heads out of the water, as they will shoot you before jumping towards the foreground in an attempt to leap at you. When the blast boat Destro is in shows up, pelt it with bombs and focus most of your attacks on it. Watch out for the missiles and the lasers that come out of the boat!

After a while, you'll heavily damage the boat, and Destro will come out to try to dispose of you himself. Watch out for the missiles and lasers just like last time, and dodge Destro's machine gun fire as you shoot at him.

When you beat Destro, the Cobra battleship will rise out of the water and fly into the sky! G.I. Joe will go after it!

Level 6: Battleship

The huge turrets that you'll start seeing at the beginning just shoot in one direction. They don't even track, so their attacks are easy to avoid. The ones with the blue tops that pop in and out of the ground, however, do.

You'll also be seeing a lot of tanks, planes and soldiers as you make your way to the front of the battleship. Once you make it to the gates, it's just a few doors until you meet the final boss: Cobra Commander!

The grey spheres that fly around him shoot electrical blasts at you. As you fire at Cobra Commando, shoot these things down as soon as possible. He'll send out more to protect him as he surrounds himself with a purple energy shield, but you can take those out while you wait for him to stop using it.

Cobra Commander has a flamethrower attack that he'll usually use after he deactivates the shield, so be careful and move to the side as soon as the shield dissipates so it won't hit you.

When you beat Cobra Commander, you'll find out it was just a robot double. The real one then shows up. He'll throw a lot of bombs, so pay attention and move out of the way when he throws a few handfuls of bombs at you in intricate patterns.
