Well, after a road trip nearly a week long during which I had not much in the way of opportunity either to record or upload, I'm back. And continuing from where we left off, we move on to our next stage, Gravity Beetle's. I do this one seventh because Gravity Beetle's weapon is required for a powerup, but one that isn't usually too important to get early on (it might be if it didn't require so many other things to obtain). His stage is another kind of nondescript one; it seems to be some kind of air field, but it's kind of hard to describe. Gravity Beetle himself is about medium difficulty, with a few different attacks. (I'm not very good at dodging the bouncing green things, though one strategy I've heard is to just stand right next to him and dodge them from there.) His weapon is interesting, but not very useful; the Gravity Well creates a localized gravity field that can pull enemies in...or something. All I know is, I'm fairly sure I've only ever gotten it to do anything to flying enemies. Charge it up to make it affect the entire screen.

Oh yeah, and we fight Byte in this episode as well. The second of our special bosses, Byte really has only one attack, which is to throw a magnet at the wall and charge toward it. If he does manage to catch you, he will pretty much punch you off the walls for a multi-hit combo, but he's not all that hard to dodge if you're careful with the timing. (Also, jeez, does every flipping boss in MMX3 have a charging/ramming attack or what?!) Easier than Bit for sure.
