Mission 2: Under Ground

The stage starts with a ton of platforms you can jump on. To take out the small, yellow flashing things on the ground that hurt you when you run into them, duck down and attack. You'll want to do this, as they will jump upwards and hit you if you try to leap over them.

Be ready to attack anything that flies at you, as they usually carry power-ups. The first flying enemy you'll see here will have health, so make sure you kill it. It will look like a flying gray dragon, and it will try to home in on you, even doubling back to do so.

The yellow things with the white "eyes" that shoot missiles at you are vulnerable when their eyes are open.

In the next section, you'll meet the robot heads on small legs. If they have their white "tops," they will simply  walk back and forth, and they will speed up if they hit you; if they don't, they will move around for a brief instance before self-destructing.

The subsequent long passage will have a few new enemies. The dragonfly enemies will track you if you try to run under it, while the white orb enemy with the porthole will shoot bullets around the room clockwise.

The helicopter enemies will try to descend into you to hit you from above. The gold flying enemies with the propellers will drop down when you are close enough, and they will always drop health if you destroy them.

To beat the boss, you'll want to jump up and hit it from the highest platform. The boss will occasionally drop down and cause debris to shoot down; you'll want to avoid the debris as you continue to shoot at the boss. If you know what you're doing, you can defeat this boss quickly.
