Uranus

The spinning platforms will send you dropping down if you stand on them for too long.

The one-eyed robots that jump around can be defeated easily with the Mega Arm. Ditto with the seal robots that hop around and send balls flying at you, especially if you have the ability to do extra damage by jamming on the B button.

The cracked walls near the start can be destroyed with Break Dash (PL). Use it, and you can get a free Energy Tank at the other side of the next room.

To beat the Pharoah mini-boss, use the rocks that show up from the opening at the bottom and jump off of those to shoot the Pharoah in the eyes with the Mega Arm. As long as you can hit the jaw, you're solid. Watch the top-left part of the screen and watch out of the rocks that drop down from above. The chambers they come out of seem to track where you are before they drop the rocks. Be sure to stay on the platform as you dodge everything.

The bird's nest robot will spawn bird robots until you destroy it.

You'll be dealing with moving platforms on your way up or down in some sections. Watch out for spikes!

There are some breakable walls just before you head back outside. Break them with the Break Dash and you'll be able to find another gem.

To beat Uranus, slide under the rocks he tosses as well as his jump attacks and attack him with the Mega Buster. Avoid the remnants of the rocks when they hit the wall. Watch the ceiling when he jumps over to the other side, because the ceiling will crush the side he jumped away from. If that ceiling hits you, it's instant death.

Beating Uranus gives you Deep Digger. It lets you get rid of the cracked blocks by picking them up and throwing them.

From here, go back to Pluto's stage. After the first mini-boss, go down instead of up by grabbing the block that is blocking the ladder with Deep Digger. If you have the ability to grab stuff with the Mega Arm, the gem at the bottom is yours. You'll need all four gems for a power generator that will cut the energy consumption of your special weapons by 50 percent.
