Stage 7

You'll have a lot of things to avoid at the beginning of the stage. The more turrets you can destroy, the better. Also, there will be plenty of enemies showing up from the bottom of the screen, especially those blue spiked balls.

The gray dolphin-shaped ships are really easy to take out if your weapons are powerful enough.

When you reach the castle, you'll see the drawbridge raise up and close.

When you start seeing bushes and trees after flying past the castle, turrets will start popping out of the bushes. If you have the Absorption weapon (Weapon 4), your shots will home in on them before they actually pop out.

You'll soon see a gray wall with twelve turrets. The turrets will not be vulnerable until they start firing; once they start shooting, let the super shot loose so you can take out a few and give yourself some breathing room.

After this, you'll start seeing turrets and ship spawners pop out of the ground in groups. Thankfully, Weapon 4 helped out with that.

When you start seeing even more of the castle, you'll also start seeing turrets in the walls. They shoot out the blue projectiles, but thankfully, those blue projectiles can be shot down. 

The boss is a big blue plane. The plane rains missiles down in addition to firing red projectiles out of the turrets. You can shoot the missiles down, and you'll do some damage by shooting down the wings. 

Once the wings are down, the boss will start shooting homing missiles at you. They can be shot down, but they are small and can be a bit hard to see. Once you do enough damage to the ship, it will start repeatedly diving at you from the top of the screen. Watch the top of the screen so you can move in and out and get shots in while you can. It will still shoot red projectiles, so you'll want to stay on the bottom of the screen to watch out for those.
