DeceasedCrab plays Kero Blaster - Part 24 of 28


The mastermind behind the work producing machines is finally revealed!

Stage 7: Destination
(continued)


Apparently you can stand on the front edge of the boss and do some major damage. You'll more than likely take damage from doing this, but it's worth sacrificing a hit or two to deal some major destruction.

When you beat the boss, a couple of those black creatures pop out of the explosion and flee. Follow them outside.

Section 13 leads back outside. If you can pull off a nice wrap-around jump at the beginning, you can get the 1-up here. Be on the lookout for floating black spheres with blue auras through this and future sections of the stage, as they aggressively fly at you when shot and can also split into two. You may get a bunch of coins from one of them when that happens.

To enter Section 14, get on top of the stack of work on the left at the end of Section 13 and jump straight up. You'll be in the air as you enter the next section. Jump up with the jetpack and you can grab the ladder. There are green platforms that move back and forth as well as light brown enemies that stick to the wall and shoot at you.

Section 15 has a much darker sky. This leads to Section 16, where you'll meet the black creatures, the Work Production Machine salesman...and the salesman's manager. The salesman flies away, and you'll hear the manager taking an order. When he hangs up, he faces you, his clothes torn and his soul a shadow of his former self. It's the boss of OXOX Commerce.

The OXOX Commerce manager will soon be hanging on strings, shooting blobs with sea green auras at you while surrounding himself with spinning shields. Those shields then converge into one big one that he shoots at you. He then flies to the other side, shooing out spinning projectiles that stay in place. Shoot down as many as you can (and get the coins if you can, too), and avoid the ones you can't destroy when they turn red and are sent straight at you. From there, he repeats the pattern. When the OXOX Commerce manager is defeat, he changes from black to green and falls unconscious as the strings disappear. He then falls asleep as desks and cabinets fall into a stack leading into the sky. Jump up the stack to climb a ladder leading to an office in a black cloud. It's the Work Production Machine salesman. He speaks to you in the same manner as the President, then it's time to fight.

Keep shooting at the salesman at the start, then he'll turn around and download an enemy. Watch the monitor to see what he sends at you. When his back is turned, you can't hurt him. 

The black creatures with red eyes jump around. Take down as many as you can before he turns around, then hit the salesman again.

The pot hanging off a spring sends down pots from the ceiling. Some of them contain fish that leap out.

The spiked pufferfish are indestructible. Use the platforms that pop out of the ground to avoid them.

The large black creatures with the red eyes and mouth will come at you, and also jump up towards the ceiling when you try to jump over them, attempting to hit you in the process.

When you beat the salesman, he'll fly away and you'll follow him on a floating platform. He now has red eyes and wings. He will make four clones of himself. Avoid them as they come at you, and damage them as much as you can. Remember, you only have a few platforms to land on up here, so be careful.

The platforms will then be in the center. The four salesmen will then circle you, shooting projectiles at you. Shoot upwards while avoiding these projectiles, and you'll eventually take three of them down. The last one remaining will circle the screen fast, tossing document shurikens at you that you can also shoot down. After enough damage, you'll beat the salesman...but it's not over yet.

You're now in an auto-scrolling segment with flying salesman heads that fly at you but also fall asleep when you kill them. You'll be fighting a large flying salesman head surrounded by black telephone. Shoot at the head, and whenever you come across a blue telephone on a platform, pick up that phone to take down one of the black telephones surrounding the boss, making it more open to attack. Watch out for the black telephone projectiles, the small flying salesman heads and the laser beams that can come out of the boss' eyes.

If you die on this part of the stage, you're doing the entire battle with the salesman all over again. Be careful.
