Stage 4

After dealing with the big round robots and the jetpack cyborgs in Area 1, Area 2 has you going underwater. Make sure your power meter is as high as possible before you attack or else your attack range will be seriously reduced.

Use the Wet Suit in Area 3. This will keep you from jumping into the ceiling spikes. As for Area 4, you'll want to be in normal mode for the start, then you'll want to use the Wet Suit to grab all the good stuff in addition to getting around. As for the rest of Area 4, the water will push you back, but you can get around slightly more quickly by jumping your way forward.

There will be double doors in Area 5. The dragon mini-boss here bounces around just like the dragons in the last two stages, but this time, you'll have water rushing across the floor that acts like a conveyor belt that constantly pushes you to the right. Keep that in mind while fighting the dragon mini-boss. Beating this battle will net you the Patriot Suit, which is much like the Newt Suit but has two protective satellites that reduce the damage you take in addition to tracking enemies and destroying them.

The rest of Area 5 has water continuing to push you to the right as you deal with slimes that hop around and stick to ceilings that split into two much smaller slimes when you hit them.

Area 6 has the disc-throwing cyborgs and the jetpack cyborgs. Use the Rocket Suit to get to the door at the bottom.

Area 7 has a floor that slowly rises and falls. Wait for the floor to move down before sliding down narrow corridors or you will get stuck, crushed and killed.

To beat the twin cyborgs in this stage's boss battle, come in with the Newt or Patriot Suit, then slide to the right and stay close to the twin on the right. Keep attacking the twin on the right and keep on moving so that the twin on the right doesn't jump into you. You'll keep hitting the twin on the right, but you'll also hit the twin on the left every so often, too. The twin on the right will go down first, and from there, you can easily destroy the twin on the left. The twin cyborgs only attack when you do, and you'll want to strike when in range and be ready to move. For the left twin, stay on the right and attack from a good distance. The twin on the left can only jump so far to the right before jumping all the way back to the left. Once the twin cyborgs go down, you'll complete the last of the stages and you'll be ready for Stage 5.
