After completing the first four stages of the game, we can finally play the fifth one...and this is where things get tough.

Stage 5

Area 1 is fairly straightforward. Area 2...not so much. You'll need to jump from moving platform to moving platform to get to the top. Use a Newt or Patriot Suit to take out the enemy at the top without receiving damage.

You'll eventually run into Jacqueline, who tells Nova that the president of the Nova Foundation is really an alien from outer space who is now spreading his troops around in order to invade Earth, and that he was really trying to sell the fighting cyborg in order to raise funds for the invasion. If the Nova Foundation is not stopped, Earth's days are numbered.

From here, the stage gets more difficult. Area 5 introduces green snake blocks much like in Super Mario World, that you'll need to ride while avoiding the spikes on both the floor and the ceiling. You'll need to pay attention to where they are going in addition to keeping up with them to get to the other side. Make sure you don't go too far to the left, or else you won't have another snake block to fall back on in case you run out of room in that direction.

Use the Rocket Suit to get the battery at the bottom of Area 6.

For Area 7, use the Wet Suit to get to the bottom more quickly and get the energy tank at the bottom. Ditto for Area 8 so you can destroy the block near the exit.

In Area 9, stick to your suitless form. and destroy the doors spawning the orbs while using the platform to get to the bottom. Remember that the platform stops moving when you jump upwards. For Area 10, switch back to the Wet Suit and avoid the sparks while destroying the enemies from the sides of the platforms.

For the boss, equip the Patriot Suit. Shoot at the boss as it flies around, and always slide when the boss is directly above you so you don't get hit when the boss drops down. This will make it easier to destroy the boss.  The first time the boss passes by you leads to nothing, but the second time leads to the drop down. If you don't attack the boss after he drops down, he will rush towards you; if you do, he just jumps back up and starts flying back-and-forth again.
