6-1, This miniboss is a trio, and they spam lightning fast bullets all over the place. I couldn't beat them just with the pea shooter, but I grabbed a weak special that I managed to kill them with just the second they were about to kill me (meaning if the special was any weaker I was probably not making it).

6-2, This miniboss is also a trio, but they come and fight you one after the other. They'll do a loop around the screen, and if you dont manage to beat the miniboss by then, the second one (and third eventually) will arrive and force you to fight all of them at the same time.

The pea shooter is not strong enough to beat each miniboss before the next (I think so at least, havent tried using shields and just focus fire them to see if its technically possible to kill them one at a time) so I also used the weak special to help me do double the damage.

6-3, The boss of this mission, has WAY too much hp, and while it also covers the screen in bullets, this boss is among the easiest because it doesn't bob and move from side to side of the screen, this makes the bullets follow predetermined paths which you can exploit by staying where they will never travel.

So first the hard part, getting "in", the boss starts with a pattern that hides its "core" where its easiest to damage it, you have to start "outside", and work your way in without eating plasma. This is just one way to get in, once the side pillars arrive you have to jump into the core and hide in a safe spot so you can hit the boss without moving until it dies (which will take a long time).

Because that's extra boring I move a bit in a pattern-way from safe spot to safe spot, somewhat dodging bullets along the way.

There are more ways to get "in", more "safe spots", and more ways to kill it but i'm saving a few of those for the final video.
