I thought there would be more to the game than what we got in this part, but here we are. We've made it to the end.
The Base
If you see any tracks on the background walls, there are turrets moving across them. Be ready to shoot them down. Also, wait close to the barriers that phase in an out so you can easily pass through them when they are down. Robots will shoot at you. Hit them with your gun with A if they get too close.
You'll soon face a pterodactyl while riding an elevator platform. Stay on the move and keep shooting at it, and stay away from the bombs that it drops, as the explosions have a little bit of range as they spread across both sides of the floor. There is some food underneath the elevator afterwards; get it as soon as you see it, because it is too easy to go far enough to the left that the game does not allow you to go back to it.
You'll soon fight some sort of lizard creature. Shoot at the head, and avoid the flame shots that fire out of its mouth and the green acid projectiles that fire out of the tail end.
You'll then have to shoot down a door and ride on rotating platform while shooting down turrets. If you're at the lower half of the screen, shoot at the lower-left corner; if you're at the upper half of the screen, shoot at the upper-left corner. If your firepower is good enough, you'll be taking down these big, globe-shaped turrets, and some will go down before they can really show up.
You'll then fight another mechanical monstrosity. Avoid the claws as they come down, and shoot at the claws. Thankfully, they alternate, and you can shoot the claws down even when they're in the ceiling. You'll then face another robot that moves around the track in the top center of the screen. Shoot down the eyes to keep them from firing at you, and stay away from the lighting blasts when the center part opens up while you fire at it. Thankfully, the beam can't get you at the extreme sides of the platform, which you don't want to fall off of. After this, the center part (which looks much like an insect face) swings back and forth. Jump over it as it swings towards you while getting shots in on it. You'll eventually expose the face, which will then move on the track again. Attack it from an angle, and refrain from standing underneath it so the fireballs that spill out don't hit you. Fireballs will only spill out of it when you hit it, so keep your distance when that happens. After this, the battle is over; head right, take care of the robot enemies and get the food out of the crystal before going down the ladder, as you're probably needing it at this point. If a second player needs food, there will be another crystal with food to the left of the bottom of the ladder.
After jumping a gap and riding down on a platform while avoiding the laser turrets, jump to the left. You'll face one more boss. It will move around on the track in the background wall, and you'll want to take out the metal claws first, preferably the one on the right. Once the arms are down, the face will open and shoot two lightning beams as well as some fireballs out of the center. Go all the way to the left and shoot at it, then stay away from it as it moves towards you. Jump to avoid the fireballs. Keep doing this, and you should have enough health for the final battle coming up.
Final Boss
You'll need to avoid the green fireballs that jump in and out of the bottom of the screen as you take out the clone creators - the purple things with the red and yellow stuff on them on the bottom of the screen. When you take one out, columns of the green stuff from the bottom rush out at you while moving up and down, and you'll need to jump over them to avoid them. The green fireballs themselves will also cause more trouble, as they turn into evil versions of the main characters and rush at you. The Cygnus clones are the worst, as they split into two smaller clones when you shoot them down.
Once you shoot down all four clone creators, the room will spin around. A metal sphere will rise out from the bottom, and two claws made of the green lava will come out from the side. You'll need to jump over and avoid the claws while shooting at them to take them down. Once the arms are down, the top of the metal sphere will open up, and you'll need to shoot at it. There will be two attacks to avoid at this point: the laser beam that will shock you, and the small blue fireball that shoots upwards towards you after that. Never, ever be directly above this metal sphere if you want to avoid getting hit here.
Once you destroy this final boss, you'll beat the game! Congratulations!
