Section Z (NES)/Enemies

Leeva	Leago	Cloud Eye
Leevas appear in groups of four. They travel from the right side to the left side, bobbing up and down as they fly.	Leagos appear in a snake-like swarm, sweeping up and down nearly the entire extent of the screen. At least one will leave an energy or speed capsule behind.	Cloud Eyes appear in groups of eight; four on the left, and four on the right. They only get so close, stick around for a while, and fly away if left alone. The last one will leave a capsule.
Spiral Gun	Drone	Missile
Spiral Guns are mounted to the floor or ceiling, and fire bullets at you as you fly by. If you destroy a nearby generator, they will begin to detach themselves and fly towards you.	Drones are the delivery mechanism for Missiles. If you manage to destroy one before it drops a Missile, they will both be removed. Once they drop the Missile, they can only be shot for bonus points.	Missiles fly straight to the left or right, at an extremely slow pace. They are also extremely well armored and take a number of shots to destroy. The enemy will try to overwhelm you with them.
Mesa	Groma	Vito
Mesa appear in groups that fly in single file. They begin in the upper left corner of the screen, and fly down to the bottom and back up to the upper right corner in a giant U. They always leave capsules behind when destroyed.	Gromas appear in squads of four. They can arrive from the left or the right, and they fly to the opposite side of the screen before turning around and attempting to ram you.	Vitos appear in huge numbers, starting in the lower left corner, and advancing to the right along the terrain. They will jump up whenever they need to in order to continue. They spray the area with bullets.
Mansa	Kicker	Gush
Mansas appear in groups of four, one in each corner. They slowly advance on you in an effort to surround you from all sides. They take a lot of shots to destroy.	Kickers fly out from the left side of the screen and cross over to the right. As they do, they stop mid-way and spray bullets in a circle before continuing on. They show up at three different heights.	Gushes appear later in the game. They blast out rocks that are difficult to avoid. They are well armored and can be difficult to destroy.
Kroga	Crab	Ripper
Krogas will fly around in you a wide circle, shooting at you as they move. They cannot collide with you if you remain in the center.	Crabs appear in pairs, one on the floor and one on the ceiling. They advance to the left and back to the right and fire bullets at you constantly. They have a lot of armor and can be difficult to shoot at since they constantly move closer to you.	Rippers are the guardians of a section where Generators can be found. They fly slowly from the right to the left. When shot, they release two energy orbs which bounce up and down and cannot be destroyed except by the Barrier Shield.
Floating Batari	Clone Soldier	Spratter
Floating Bataris appear in pairs, one on each side of the screen. They will each fire a pair of lasers at you. They have a high level of defense and should be dealt with one at a time.	Clone Soldiers have similar capabilities as you, and appear in sizable groups. They are easy to destroy, but if you hesitate, they may overwhelm you.	Spratters are large worm-like aliens which appear from the left side of the screen and very slowly advance to the right, spraying bullets in every direction. They take a large number of shots to destroy.
