PrinceWatercress plays Gunstar Heroes (Normal, Again) - Part 7 of 7


In this entry, we take on the boss rush again, then face Golden Silver a second time. Thanks for watching.


Here, you'll fight a bunch of bosses while the bad guys watch in the foreground. Shoot down the blue boxes and you'll face the first one: the Duck Battalion. Duck and shoot at the boss to avoid the laser chaingun, and be ready to wall jump when it runs at you. Once you destroy the mech, one of the guys on it will shoot at you with the chaingun. Wall jump over him when he gets close, stay very close to - or very far away from - him when he shoots in mid-air and duck down to avoid being blasted at from ground level.

The white balls will hurt you; stay away from them and grab onto the undersides of floors or the ceilings themselves to avoid getting nailed. You'll eventually enter an area laser turrets all the way to the right. Keep high jumping and grabbing the undersides of all the floors, and destroy all the turrets without being left too far behind that you lose health and get shot back upwards onto the screen.

You'll soon face Pink Lobster. Wall jump to avoid getting cornered, whacked or hit with a bubble blast, and keep shooting. It is possible to get far away enough so that the Pink Lobster just stands there and does the bubble blast when you get close enough. 

The next boss is Orange. Orange will follow you around and try to hit you with a fireball if you're directly across from him. If he is on your level, switch levels. Also, never be directly above him, he will either jump at you or hit you with a double helix fireball upwards. If he is almost vertically lined up with you, get away from him immediately. You may have to run around the room in a circle to avoid him.

The next boss is Black Fly. You will have to move around the room clockwise, and even walk on top of Black Fly itself. Avoid the mines and the fireballs they produce that may or may not move around. When Black Fly shows up and shoots that fireball spiral, you'll have to move around the room in a circle - and even walking on top of him - while firing at him when you can. 

You'll then face Green again. You'll have to switch levels when he is on yours, and you'll have to keep doing this while firing at him. When he throws the blue stars, stay far away from so you can avoid them, and do not let him get close or else you will be thrown around. Make sure you always have as much distance between yourself and Green as possible. The red star he drops when defeated does a lot of damage, so don't be near it.

You'll then meet the General, who then tries to use the gems only to get fried. The gems then enter one final room. Grab any power-ups and health you need, then get ready to face Golden Silver, the final boss in the game.

Keep firing at the gems while avoiding the robot and its attacks. Jump over or wall jump over blue fireballs when they travel across the ground. Run away to avoid the teleport punch. Keep as much distance from Golden Silver as possible to avoid the green fireballs and most of Golden Silver's attacks.

The gems do attacks of their own, but they can be easily avoided.

Once you beat Golden Silver, the game is over. The Gunstars go after Golden Silver, then the General and his men try to correct what they have done by confronting Golden Silver only to be annihilated. Green comes out of his brainwashed state and fights Golden Silver himself. From there, the game ends.
