Sub-boss: Giant Suzy[edit]

Giant Suzy's room

Weak against the Spark Shock. The more damage it suffers, the faster it gets.

It drops a large E-capsule when defeated.

Stage walkthrough, part 2[edit]

In this part of the stage, feel free to use the Spark Shock, too.

Item list:

  • 2 small E-capsules

Three more enemies appear in the second part of the stage:

  • Garyoby: immune to most weapons, but weak against the Dust Crusher.
  • Jumbig: stun it with the Spark Shock, then finish it off with another weapon.
  • Boulder: the best protection against this falling obstacle is the Skull Barrier.

Boss: Dr. Wily[edit]

The Wily Machine

Wily Machine[edit]

The Wily Machine is only vulnerable to the fully-charged Mega Buster. Hit it in the eyes and slide under it.

Dr. Wily

Dr. Wily[edit]

Dr. Wily is only vulnerable to the Screw Crusher. Unfortunately, the cannonballs deflect it. Dodge the cannonballs and shoot the cockpit between them.
