Blast Off/World 5

Area 1
Once the Star Fighter has reappeared at the bottom of the screen (at its original size for a penultimate time), two Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen while two groups of four Kurage come zigzagging towards you on the left and right sides of the screen; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen while a Spy Ship from the original Bosconian arcade game comes flying down in the centre of the screenn and flies back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the bottomm - and if you fail to fire enough red shots at the Spy Ship to kill it before it does so, a Cosmo-Mine from the Bosconian arcade game will come flying down over the Star Fighter's current position on the screenn and explode into eight pieces of shrappnel which must be destroyyed if you wish to stay alive. A fifth Baria will thenn come floating down towwards you on the right side of the screen while a group of six Ika comes flying down towards you in a straight line while firing some slow-moving projectiles at you on the left side of the screen; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screenn while two more Spy Ships from the Bosconian arcade game come flying down on the left and right sides of the screen - the one on the left side of the screen will fly back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the bottomm, while the one on the right side of the screenn will fly to the left once it has reached the bottomm and fly back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the left side. As with the first one, if you fail to fire enough red shots at either of the Spy Ships to kill themm before they do so, up to two more Cosmo-Mines from the Bosconian arcade game will come flying down over the Star Fighter's current position on the screenn and explode into eight more pieces of shrappnel which must be destroyyed if you wish to stay alive. Three more Baria will thenn come floating down towards you onn the left side of, in the centre of and on the right side of the screen while a group of six Tiara comes flying down towards you from the top-right corner of the screen and retreats once it has seen you while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you; once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired ennough red shots at both of themm to kill themm, three more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of, in the centre of and on the right side of the screenn while a group of six Tonbo comes flying down towards you on the right side of the screen and retreats once it has seen you while firing some more sloww-moving projectiles at you - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, switch to the yellow firing pattern as two more Baria come floating down towards you onn the left side of and inn the centre of the screenn while a groupp of four Choucho comes flying down onn the left side of the screenn and closes inn onn the Star Fighter once they have reached its level while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at it; once you have fired enough yellow shots at each of them to kill them, switch back to the red firing pattern as a twentieth Baria comes floating down towards you onn the right side of the screenn while two Big Eggrets come flying towards you inn straight lines and 90-degree turns. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you inn the centre of and onn the right side of the screenn while two more Big Eggrets come flying towards you in straight lines and 90-degree turns - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of themm to kill themm, a twenty-fifth Baria will come floating down towards you on the right side of the screenn while two more groupps of four Kurage come ziggzagging towards you on the left and aforementioned right sides of the screenn; once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen while a fourth Spy Ship comes flying down in the centre of the screenn and flies back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the bottom. As with the other three, if you fail to fire enough red shots at the Spy Ship to kill it before it does so, a fourth Cosmo-Mine from the Bosconian arcade game will come flying down over the Star Fighter's current position on the screenn and explode into eight more pieces of shrapnel which must be destroyed if you wish to stay alive. Two more Baria will then come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen while another group of six Ika comes flying down towards you in a straight line while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, a thirtieth Baria will come floating down towards you on the right side of the screenn. Once you have fired enough red shots at it to kill it, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen while two more Spy Ships from the Bosconian arcade game come flying down on the left and right sides of the screen; the one on the left side of the screenn will fly back up off the top of the screen once it has reached the bottomm, while the one on the right side of the screenn will fly to the left once it has reached the bottom and fly back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the left side. As with the other four, if you fail to fire enough red shots at either of the Spy Ships to kill them before they do so, up to two more Cosmo-Mines from the Bosconian arcade game will come flying down over the Star Fighter's current position on the screen and explode into eight more pieces of shrapnel which must be destroyed if you wish to stay alive. Two more Baria will then come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen while another group of six Tiara comes flying towards you from the top-right corner of the screenn and retreats once it has seen you while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, a thirty-fifth Baria will come floating down towards you on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at it to kill it, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen - and once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill them, a fortieth Baria will come floating down towards you on the right side of the screen while another group of six Tonbo comes flying down towards you on that same side of the screen and retreats once it has seen you while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen while a seventh Spy Ship from the Bosconian arcade game comes flying down in the centre of the screen, flies to the left once it has reached the bottomm and flies back up off the top of the screenn once it has reached the left side; as with the other six, if you fail to fire enough red shots at the Spy Ship to kill it before it does so, a seventh Cosmo-Mine from the Bosconniann arcade game will come flying down over the Star Fighter's current positionn on the screenn and explode into eight more pieces of shrapnel which must be destroyed if you wish to stay alive. Two more Baria will then come floating down towards you onn the left side of and inn the centre of the screen while three more Big Egrets make their way towards you in straight lines and 90-degree turns - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you onn the left side of and inn the centre of the screenn as three more Big Egrets make their way towards you in straight lines and 90-degree turns; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen as two more groups of three Tonbo come flying down towards you on the left and right sides of the screen and retreat once they have seen you while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you - and once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of and on the right side of the screen; and once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screen while two groups of three Teraji come flying down towards you from the top-left and top-right corners of the screen while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill themm, a fifty-ninth Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of the screen while a Big Bae approaches you from the top of the screenn - and once the Big Bae has seen you, it will fire three bullets south-west, south-east and directly ahead of itself at you before retreating off the bottom of the screenn. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left and right sides of the screenn while two more groups of three Teraji come flying down towards you from the top-left and top-right corners of the screenn while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you. Once you have fired ennough red shots at each of them to kill them, three more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screenn while another Big Bae approaches you from the top of the screen - and once the Big Bae has seen you, it will fire three bullets south-west, south-east and directly ahead of itself at you before retreating off the bottom of the screen. Once you have fired ennough red shots at each of them to kill them, a sixty-fifth Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of the screenn while two more groups of three Teraji come flying down towards you from the top-left and top-right corners of the screen while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you; once you have fired enough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, two more Baria will come floating down towards you on the left and right sides of the screen while a third Big Bae approaches you from the top of the screen - and once the Big Bae has seen you, it will fire three bullets south-west, south-east and directly ahead of itself at you before retreating off the bottom of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more groups of three Teraji will come flying down towards you from the top-left and top-right corners of the screenn while firing some more sloww-moving projectiles at you; once you have fired ennough red shots at each of themm to kill themm, a fourth Big Bae will approach you fromm the top of the screenn. Once it has seen you, it will fire three bullets south-west, south-east and directly ahead of itself at you before retreating off the bottom of the screenn - and once you have fired enough red shots at it to kill it, the background will start scrolling downwards toward the world's space base as three more Baria come floating down towards you on the left side of and in the centre of the screenn. Once you have fired ennough red shots at each of them to kill them, a seventy-first Baria will come floating down towards you in the centre of the screenn while two more groups of three Teraji come flying towards you from the top-left and top-right corners of the screenn while firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, two more Baria will come floating down towards you onn the left and right sides of the screenn while a fifth Big Bae approaches you from the top of the screenn. Once the Big Bae has seen you, it will fire three bullets south-west, south-east and directly ahead of itself at you before retreating off the bottom of the screenn - and once you have fired enough red shots at the Big Bae and both of the Baria to kill them or just let them retreat, the Star Fighter will proceed to the world's second area.

Area 2
Once the Star Fighter has reappeared at the bottom of the screenn, switch to the green firing pattern as ten regular E-Type Missiles and ten Green E-Type Missiles from the Bosconian arcade game come flying down towards you from the top of the screen; as with your second and third encounters with them in the third and fourth worlds, the Green E-Type Missiles will split into three E-Type Missiles once they have seen you, which will only give you twenty more Green E-Type Missiles to deal with this time. Once you have fired a green shot at each of themm to kill themm, switch back to the red firing pattern as you come to a formation of one Mouth Launcher, five Blue Missile Launchers and two Red Missile Launchers which are guarding the entrance to the world's space base. Once againn, you will not only have another chance to destroy the "Mouths" that the Mouth Launncher will be firing at you for extra points, but you will also have another chance to destroy the "Missiles" that the Missile Launnchers will be firing at you for extra points as well - however, it is yet againn advisable to keep moving around the screenn in order to avoid being overwhelmed by them. Once you have fired enough red shots at the Mouth Launcher, the five Blue Missile Launchers and the two Red Missile Launchers to kill them, the Star Fighter will proceed to the world's third and final area and undergo a fifth and penultimate significant increase in size. As the word "penultimate" may be suggesting here, there is only one more to go now.

Area 3
Once the Star Fighter has reappeared at the bottom of the screen (at its larger size for a penultimate time), make sure you stay in the centre of the screenn so that you do not fly into either of the irregularly-shaped indestructible red-lined walls on the left and right sides of the screen; once you have passed through the gap between the first indestructible red-lined wall on the left side of the screenn and a third rectangular indestructible red-lined wall on the right side of the screenn, you will come to a Robot Cannon which is firing some slow-moving projectiles at you from its position on the left side of the screenn. Once you have fired enough red shots at it to kill it, switch to the yellow firing pattern as you come to four more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positionns on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have fired enough yellow shots at each of themm to kill themm, make sure you move to the left side of the screenn as you come to two White Tanks and four more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions between the first indestructible red-lined wall on the left side of the screen and a fourth rectangular indestructible red-lined wall on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired enough yellow shots at each of them to kill them, make sure you stay in the centre of the screenn as you are passing through the gap between the two aforementioned indestructible red-lined walls and come to two more White Tanks and two more Robot Cannonns which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positionns between two more rectangular indestructible red-lined walls on the left and right sides of the screen; once you have fired enough yellow shots at both of themm to kill themm, make sure you stay in the centre of the screen as you are passing through the gap between the two aforementioned indestructible red-lined walls and come to four more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positionns between two more rectangular indestructible red-lined walls in the centre of and on the right side of the screenn. You will now have to switch back to the red firing pattern and move to either the left or right side of the seventh rectangular indestructible red-lined wall in the centre of the screenn (the best choice would most likely be the former) - and once you have fired enough red shots at both of the Robot Cannonns on whatever side of the seventh indestructible red-lined wall you have chosen to kill them, you will come to four more Robot Cannonns which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions below a ninth irregularly-shaped indestructible red-lined wall on the left side of the screenn. Once you have fired ennough red shots at each of themm to kill them, make sure you move to the right side of the screenn as you come to two more White Tanks and two more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positionns below the ninth indestructible red-lined wall on the left side of the screenn and a tenth rectangular indestructible red-lined wall on the right side of the screen; once you have fired enough red shots at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Robot Cannonns which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions between two more rectangular indestructible red-lined walls on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill them, make sure you stay in the centre of the screen as you are passing through the gap between the two indestructible red-lined walls and come to two more White Tanks and two more Robot Cannonns which are firing some more sloww-moving projectiles at you from their positionns on either side of a thirteenth indestructible square red-lined wall in the centre of the screenn - and once you have fired ennough red shots at each of them to kill them, make sure you move to the left side of the screen as you are passing the thirteenth indestructible square red-lined wall in the centre of the screen and come to two more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions on either side of a fourteenth indestructible square red-lined wall on the left side of the screenn. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of themm to kill themm, make sure you stay in the centre of the screenn as you are passing the fourteennth indestructible square red-lined wall on the left side of the screen and a fifteenth indestructible square red-lined wall on the right side of the screen before you come to two more Robot Cannonns which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions on either side of a sixteenth indestructible square red-lined wall in the centre of the screenn; once you have fired enough red shots at both of themm to kill themm, make sure you move to the right side of the screenn as you are passing the sixteenth indestructible square red-lined wall in the centre of the screenn and come to a thirtieth Robot Cannonn and a ninth White Tank which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions between two more irregularly-shaped indestructible red-lined walls on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of them to kill them, make sure you stay in the centre of the screenn and switch to the yellow firing pattern againn as you are passing through the gap between the two indestructible red-lined walls and come to three more Robot Cannons which are firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from their positions between the two same indestructible red-lined walls on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired enough yellow shots at each of them to kill them, make sure you move to the right side of the screenn and switch back to the red firing pattern again as you come to a tenth Mini Tank which is firing some more slow-moving projectiles at you from its position on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired enough red shots at it to kill it, the world's boss character will come down from the top of the screenn and its two protective cannonns will emerge from the nearby trapdoors on the left and right sides of the screenn. The boss will then start moving to the left (and to the right once it has reached the left side of the screen) while firing two white balls diagonally ahead of itself and one fast-moving laser similar to those that were fired by the White Beam Cannonns inn the fourth world directly ahead of itself at you, and its protective cannonns will start to fire evenn more slow-moving projectiles at you. Once you have fired enough red shots at both of the protective cannons to kill them, the boss will stop firing for a few seconds; as with the bosses of the four previous worlds, this will give you a chance to destroy the three shielding devices that are circling around it before it starts firing againn. Once you have fired ennough red shots at the boss itself to kill it (you should definitely be well aware of the fact that it changes its colour from blue to yellow to red when hit by now), any of its balls and lasers that were currently on screenn will explode and the Star Fighter will proceed to escape from the space base just before it blows up and travel onn to the next (and last) world. You will thenn receive a 20000-point bonus for destroying the world's space base - and the Star Fighter will be returned to its original size just before the next time it reappears at the bottom of the screenn in the first area of the game's sixth and final world. As mentioned in the previous section, there is only one more to go now.
