PrinceWatercress plays Metal Force - Part 4 of 7


This is probably the most difficult of the stages in the game due to how the boss battle is.

First | Previous | Next | End

Mission 4: Planet Cave


The walker enemy at the start will turn and jump towards you and then attack whenever you attack. Sometimes, you can avoid a fight with them just by leaving them alone. You'll be avoiding a few enemies just to get through this mission more easily.

The orange humanoid enemies will shoot you when you are lined up with them. There is a delay between when they draw their guns and when they shoot, so you can get your attacks in before they do.

The rock droppers are much like the laser shooters from Mission 1. If you're on a higher platform, walk off the edge and keep walking to get onto the next platform.

To get to the window you can see in the lower-left corner at the start, you'll need to jump into the wall to the left of the rock droppers. You'll then find a ladder leading to a continue.

Avoid the smoke coming out of the pipes, as it will damage you.

The conveyor belts are back and in greater numbers. Pay attention to where they are going as you run across them to get where you need to go. If you need more time to figure out where they are going, pause the game and watch them, as the conveyor belts are still animated when the game is paused.

You'll need to fall into a wall while holding left to get a hidden 1-Up.

You'll be seeing lava near the end, and you'll want to avoid falling into it and losing half of a full health bar.

The boss here is a mech that just walks back and forth briefly before disappearing when the screen shakes. Keep shooting at it, and when the screen rumbles, pay attention to where the mech lands and stay on the opposite end of the room so that you don't get hit, as both conveyor belts in the boss room will push your towards the lava pit in the center. Also, watch for the smoke coming out of the pipes; you don't want to get hit by that and knocked into the lava below. From here, it's on to Mission 5.
