 Proceed past the next group of enemies to arrive at another yellow road junction with multiple paths. Take your time and utilize your fixed 3-way shot at this section to destroy the turrets, destroy the soliders that spawn from the left/right sides at 3/4 different points ( 8 max at each spawn point). After the last spawn point, head upwards to arrive at the second boss.

 Stay in the middle of the platform as this boss moves down the screen and fires his guns to the left/right of you. He will move to the right or/left, so stay to the center of the boss and damage his main body and side guns with your main shot. Once you do this, his inner core will be exposed, and he will start firing missiles at you while green fly enemies periodically appear to the left/right of you. Bomb if you get trapped by the missiles or enemies and shoot the inner core enough times to destroy the boss.

 A section of crates awaits; take your time to poke out and destroy enemies that appear on the sides of the stage. You'll come across a midboss train, which has one main part that needs to be destroyed (the one firing the fireball at you), and you can proceed onwards. Be mindful of the row of soldiers right after and immediately move to the side after you've passed the rail.
-The last section has a lot of crates that restrict your movement. While dealing with the enemies that pop out of the sides, you will move upwards, and want to likely use a bomb or two on the last portion (wall ahead/ two walls on the side with two paths on the left right) and just move swiftly upwards, where you will encounter 4-Boss

-This is the first stage that will allow you to recieve the Zero Wing bonus. In order to activate the bonus, you must collect 8 C Items. Once you have done that, the Zero Wing bonus will appear from the left side of predetermined points ( assuming you collected 8 C Items before the checkpoint of that area) in the stage and fly to the right. When you shoot the ship, you will receive a 5,000 pt bonus with a multiplier; which can scale up to 50,000 points if the ship is shot at the very right of the screen. If you collect another C item, you will need to collect 7 more C items to reactivate the Zero Wing bonus. In this stage, the Zero Wing bonus appears right before entering the area with the pits near the end

 You will come across the first maze section here. The free range shot is a bit more useful in this section for eliminating enemies that are already in position on the top/sides of the screen, as well enemies that run in from offscreen on the left/right. If you feel trapped, use a bomb.

 You'll come across a section of the stage with gaps. There are a total of 3 platforms that pass by a regular intervals, with a respawning grey soldier each time they appear. Destroy the soldier when crossing the platform, and bomb if too many other soldiers spawn on the sides of the platforms.

 Next, you'll come across a long narrow section. It's good to have the 3-way main shot here, as you can destroy the side turrets on the far left and right while dealing damage to the enemies coming directly from above. Take your time when dealing with this section. It is recommended to do a "S" motion but walking straight: start on the right edge, go slightly up, then immediately move left, then slightly up, immediately dash right, and so on.

 This stage seems daunting at first, but ends up being easier than the previous stage, as well as the easiest recovery stage, thanks to its generous middle section of powerups dropped by soldiers.

 Start this stage by moving forward and destroying a few squadrons of soldiers above you. As you move forward in this section, mechanized snakes will pop out of the wall sections to the left and right. Newer players can feel free to use bombs when a mechanized snake appears or when enemies come from behind, as they each drop either a special item or a bomb. The snakes will fire only when you're in their line of sight, otherwise they're harmless. While moving upwards, watch out for soldiers that appear from the left/right areas of the screen.

 You will reach a section with moving walls: you can kill some of them easily by using the same trick as the turrets. For the rest, either start shooting on the (vertical) wall when the moving walls are hidden, as you should be able to kill them as soon as they appear before they even shoot, or hug the previous horizontal wall and use what seems to be a bug that allows you to shoot through it when you have the 3-way shot. This part isn't too hard, but don't take too much time because of the lack of energy refills. If you're low on energy, this is a good area to bomb to save a lot of time.

 The next area is straightforward. If these new enemies have enough time to shoot grenades, move on its side and you will dodge the bullets easily.

 There will be another maze section. Enemies stop moving after a while, simply find a few safe spots to proceed safely, there are many of them. There is an energy refill item that you can't get if you have the 3-way shot: if you're low on energy, feel free to waste a bomb to destroy the crate, you will get many of them in a moment.

 Finally, there is an area with moving walls, and tons of breakable walls giving you bombs or power-ups. Break the two walls on the left-hand side at the beginning for some bombs or power-ups, then go through the right-hand door. At the next junction (where an Energy refill is), go on the left, deal with the enemies, and break the walls on the right side if you want some more items. Then go through the left wall (the other one is a trap that closes too fast and will probably get you killed).

 Take your time in the beginning to take care of the swarms of smaller enemies. When you reach the crate with the C item, take the 3-way shot if you don't have it yet, hug the left wall and move up until enemies start spawning. Don't move, enemies will die before they get a chance to shoot. Once no more enemies appear, hug the right wall and do the same thing.

 The next section is very tricky without bombs, and you should be ready to use two of them. Start on one side of the narrow corridor and move slightly up to make some enemies spawn and lure their shots, then move to the other side. Repeat until you're about the reach the point where the wall no longer protects you from the cannons on the left: at this point, quickly move up while bombing once. Take care of the next waves by using the wall as a cover, and repeat what you just did with the next corridor.

 For the next area with sleeping pods, if you feel like you don't have much time, you can actually rush (assuming you have a speed-up) and enemies won't hit you, but you lose an opportunity to score a few points.

 The next area with the big yellow dudes firing missiles can be tricky: don't step on the brown tiles as they will crumble and send you to your death. Move carefully, but still at a regular pace as they keep respawning. Eventually, you will get used to the position of the brown tiles as they're always the same across playthroughs.
