Because for some reason, robots with holographic abilities are vulnerable to mechanical snakes.

Gemini Man's lair is one of "those" places, with elements that are often disliked for being tedious (all that Pole shit), or plain frustrating (jumping around while endless Gyoraibo and Yambow drones interfere). And it's easy to see why. The safest way past that particular segment is to just let Rush Jet follow you around and act as a safety net in the event you fall off/miss a jump... but I don't have Rush Jet here because I like making things difficult for myself*.

For the most part, the Mega Buster is good enough. Shadow Blade is probably more suited to taking out so many Yambow, but oh well. I mean it was only one incredibly close call with that platform anyway.

Oh, and that "Break Man" thing makes another surprise appearance, but instead of getting his stupid face shot off in a 10 second duel he does the decent thing and allows further progression without trying to start a fight.

Speaking of 10 second duels, Gemini Man doesn't really get to show off much of his abilities before exploding in a shower of whatever he's made of. There's a common-enough glitch that can occur between the two phases of this fight however, which causes BOTH him and the copy to disappear and make the fight unwinnable. Not as amusing as it sounds, especially when it's during the refight...

And then there's Gemini Laser. It's nowhere near as useful as you'd expect a powerful rebounding laser beam to be. In fact it's pretty useless overall. But it does look cool.

*I know I could have exploited a programming error and easily acquired Rush Jet after wasting Shadow Man (and before going anywhere close to Needle Man), but didn't feel like being cheap when recording this.
