Mini-boss: Ururuun - 01:53
Boss: Grenade Man - 04:37

This stage has some gimmicks and a few segments has the ever annoying "surprise enemy" that will try to flinch you into a bottomless pit. This stage also features Dynamo Man's chain exploding blocks and a few of them can lead to unpleasant stuff like spikes. All in all a pretty fun level (save for the swinging hammer bits)

Ururuun, the mini-boss is one of the easier mini-bosses. It doesn't do a lot of dangerous things, though it can move around after throwing scrap at you, so be on the watch for that.

Grenade Man in probably the toughest boss of the first four bosses, the guy is as crazy as he sounds, but this is hardly an unfair fight using only the buster (unlike a certain burning dude). He has distinct tells on most of his attacks, but you have to be very careful as Grenade Man is so fast he can easily spook you into making mistakes and taking hits.

The triple grenade attack happens if Grenade Man jumps in an arc, its explosion radius is smaller than it looks and the explosion don't seem to linger (unlike Flash Bombs).

Grenade Man will Flash Bombs if he moves VERY fast to a wall or sometimes standing still; if he does that way debris will fall from the ceiling.

Lastly Grenade Man also has a tackle attack that comes with very little warning, but he thankfully doesn't use it in the second phase of the fight.

The second phase happens once Grenade Man yells "Crazy Destroyer". At the new arena he will jump around, often where you are standing, and he can still use his triple grenade or wall climb Flash Bomb and it's in your best interest to end the fight as fast as possible as the fight can quickly take a turn for worse depending on how mean Grenade Man feels like.
