Although they appear together, Shoe and Karn each inhabits a single platform and are only a threat at their respective positions so players only need to fight one while avoiding attacks from the other (preferably starting with Karn at the bottom, first). Shoe and Karn from the first game while they're Dual Bosses that attacks together, individually they have pathetic health (for a boss), especially if the player have a Slug at their service.Breather Boss: Some of the mid-level bosses, encountered halfway through the game, are actually considerably easier, especially compared to some prior bosses.Sprinkled in between are bizarre subjects not appearing anywhere in the series, art too outlandish to even be part of the series, or art that take the extremely detailed part in a different direction.

The design of the machinery also deserve mention.The games do run at only 30 FPS as a result (with the first two outright chugging along when the enemies and their shots start flooding the screen), but it's a fair compromise for the amazing animation of the series' many characters. The amount of detail in the sprites is unprecedented.Audience-Alienating Era: The Noise Factory era (who developed 4, 5, and Advance) is the point where opinions were widely split, specifically regarding the games' level design, mechanics, and the reuse of assets from previous games.Dirty-minded players may mistake it for a fluid best left unmentioned here.
