Stage 2

Take out as many turrets at the start of the stage as you can, as they will make things tougher while you're shooting down all of the aerial enemies just by being numerous enough to overwhelm you. Thankfully, things get a little better when the scrolling slows down.

Make sure you have two Spin Shields at all times, as they will protect you from enemy shots a good amount of the time.

If you have Weapon 4, sometimes your shots will hover in certain spots. Turrets will eventually spawn in those spots, and Weapon 4 will give you a slight advantage against them when they do. All you have to do is make sure that you can shoot down other enemies and keep the screen as clear as possible during that time.

Submarines will pop up a bit later in the stage, but some of the weapons will make quick work of them if they are fully powered up.

When the color of the sea gets brighter, stay away from the bottom of the screen. Enemies will spawn from the bottom of the screen at that point in the stage.

Lining yourself up with the battleships will allow you to destroy all the turrets on one as quickly as possible.

Stay away from the spots where the geysers form, as these geysers will immediately destroy your ship regardless of how well-armed you are. Thankfully, if you die, you only get powered down slightly. You will have to work to get your Spin Shields back, though. Thankfully, the whirlpools near the end don't hurt you.

The gold enemies with the single claw that extends outwards can easily be destroyed if you're lined up with it.

When facing the boss, keep on firing. Stay on the top half of the screen when the boss is at the bottom, and watch where the boss is going while avoiding the numerous projectiles. Thankfully, you can always shoot down the blue projectiles. Don't forget to let go of Button 1 when lined up with the boss to let loose with the Super Shot!
