Rolling Thunder/Enemies

Maskers
There are two types of maskers. The first type have pointed hoods with eye slits cut out for sight. They take only one bullet to defeat, and are worth 300 points. The second type have round hoods and wear goggles over their eyes. They require two bullets to defeat, as the first one will only knock them to their knees. They are worth 500 points. Each color of masker has a different level of combat ability.

Ninjas
Ninjas are similar to maskers. However, they are masters of illusion and remain disguised until they are ready to be seen, at which point they seem to materialize out of thin air. Each color ninja requires a different number of shots to defeat, but all are worth 700 points when defeated.

Mabo
At first, the apparent savior of mankind, the WCPO has determined that Mabo's true identity is that of an alien lifeform who acts as the supreme leader of Geldra, an organization bent on world domination. He awaits Albatross where Layla is being held captive. Once Albatross is within sight, Mabo will attack Albatross by rushing towards him and knocking him down. His destruction will earn you 2000 points, as well as the game's ending, but it will take a lot of force to knock him down.
