Defeating Bydo
This boss fight is fairly simple First make sure you have a Force bit before you face Bydo When you get to Bydo wait for your Force to flash and glow When it does shoot the Force at Bydo It will stick into Bydos side When you are sure that it is planted in charge one meters worth of your Wave Cannon and fire it at the Force The Force will explode and your Wave Cannon gauge will be busted From here onward the Bydos only attack will be shooting copies of your Force at you You must dodge these You must charge your Wave Cannon until it flashes to kill it but it will take longer since the gauge is busted The gauge will slowly but surely charge When it does release it for a gigantic shot that will wipe out Bydo
Infinite loop in flight path
At the very end of Stage 30 Battleship Raid you have to destroy four plates to get to the boss If you move your ship to the very upper left corner and do not destroy any of the plates the game will not begin the boss fight and you can spend an unlimited amount of time in the stage This is a great way to unlock ships without having to play through the entire game
