 * The rear and front propellers that the turrets rest on may be destroyed using a special weapon for 5,000 points each. Destroying a propeller also destroys any live turrets on it and causes any weapon fragments on it to fall. In addition, all items on the platform will fall when the core is destroyed.
 * The main cockpit and core are worth more points when destroyed by a non-penetrating shot.
-* There is a setup for homing options that can be executed at any flying platform (but is easiest during the first three). First, destroy the four rear turrets and pick up the weapon fragments they drop. Next, destroy the six front turrets. After this, pick up on of the six revealed fragments when they drop after destroying the platform.

-The minecarts encountered in the stage will stop moving if the cart in front of them is destroyed. Moving minecarts are guaranteed to drop small weapon fragments while stopped minecarts are guaranteed to drop option power ups.
+The minecarts encountered in the stage will stop moving if the cart in front of them is destroyed. A minecart will drop an option power up or a small weapon fragment depending upon whether or not the cart ahead of it has already been destroyed. If the cart ahead of it has been destroyed it will drop an option power up. Otherwise it drops a weapon fragment. The lead minecart always drops a weapon fragment.
 * In addition, the minecart rails can be destroyed with a special weapon and will drop medals when destroyed.

 ==First orange tank==
-The orange tanks first encountered in this stage deserve special mention. It is possible to disable their v-shaped spread shots by destroying the grey circular turret that shoots the spread. In addition, what the orange tank drops when it is destroyed depends on how many of its wheels remain. If it has an even number of wheels when destroyed, it will drop four weapon fragments. If it has an odd number of wheels, it will drop an option power-up.

In addition, the orange tanks will be rendered stationary when their wheels are destroyed and the timing of this influences what they drop when destroyed. If the wheels are destroyed while the tank is not moving, it will drop an option power up. If the wheels are destroyed while the tank is moving, it will drop four weapon fragments.

 ==Flying platforms==
-The majority of Stage 5 is spent fighting one enemy type, the flying platform. Each flying platform has four rear turrets (two one each side), six front turrets (three on each side), five idle popcorn planes, a main cockpit, and a core that is revealed upon destroying the main cockpit. The main cockpit shoots an aimed 3-way spread shot and the core shoots an aimed 5-way spread shot. The turrets drop weapon fragments and each idle plane will drop an item based on the item drop order. The flying platforms come in three waves: a wave of three slow platforms from the top of the screen, a wave of six faster platforms from the top of the screen, and a wave where two platforms simultaneously enter the screen from the sides.

 ==Pre-boss tanks==
 Right before the start of the boss fight, ten small tanks will enter the screen from the side, five from the left and five from the right. There is a setup for homing options here that involves the following steps:
-* Destroy the bottom 3-4 tanks on one side.
+* Destroy the five tanks on one side and pick up the bottom two weapon fragments.
-* Move to the other side. Destroy all five tanks here and pick up the bottom two weapon fragments.
+* Move to the other side. Destroy the tanks here and pick up the middle fragment right before it scrolls off screen. Let the remaining five fragments go.

-The biplane encountered after the first minecarts will contribute the normal item drop order if defeated normally. However, if instead you keep it alive and destroy it as it flees the top of the screen (about when the second crane turret is encountered) then the biplane is guaranteed to drop a secret large shot power up.
