==Boss On Parade #1:Tetran==
==Boss On Parade #1: Tetran==
 
This boss from Salamander has one similarity to the Big Core from Gradius 1. It has a core protected by 3 shields. You must destroy the shields and then the core. Other than that, the Tetran is entirely new. Almost round, it has four tentacles that spin around the ship while the ship spins in clockwise circles. The tentacles have a new ability, as they can curl up inside the body and wrap out at any second. If that wasn't enough, the barriers fire spread shots when destroyed. Other than dodging the arms and bullets, use a similar strategy as in Salamander.

==Boss On Parade #3: Big Core Mk 2==
==Boss On Parade #3: Big Core Mk 2==
 
When the second hole in the ground appears, Big Core Mk 2 will appear. Big Core Mk 2 is much different from the original Big Core. A notable difference is that it has TWO cores instead of one. It can also fire more lasers; up to 14. However, if you are far away from it, it fires 4 lasers, like the Big Core. When one core is destroyed, that side malfunctions (two arms on Big Core Mk 2 must be opened to fire all the lasers) and the lasers stop working. When both cores are eliminated, you will move on.
