Bosses and Tactics
In the Arctic battlefield, the boss is replaced with an event. An avalnche is triggered and obstacles and enemies are surrounding the area. The goal is to get to the Water Mobile before the avalanche reaches you, and ultimately suffocates you under its tons of snow.

While underwater, there are two mini-bosses that you fight at the same time. They are a mechanical Crab and a mechanical Whale. The crab attacks you with its sharp claws and shoots bombs at you when it hides behind the Whale. The whale only inhales so that you get closer to the Crab for it to snap at you. You have to defeat the whale first, then slay the crab.

When you're at the beach, a tank attacks that shoots heat seeking missiles. Your bullets have no effect on the tank unless you have the RPG or grenades. the goal is to lead the missiles back to the tank without touching it. Hitting the tank enough times will blow it up.

In the laboratory, there is a giant robot in three different parts waiting to kill you. The first part shoots bullets that you simply have to dodge. Then shoot back at it. The second part sends out enemies as it throws grenades at you. You have to destroy the machine and keep yourself alive. The third part has robot arms that you must avoid as they swing at you, and also destroy. Just shooting them will work.

On the airship, a samurai (with guns) waits for you. He moves a little faster than you, but cant jump. He will swing his blade at you, and shoot at you. The way to beat this guy is simply by shooting and avoiding him.

In the desert, there is a giant monster living in a sink hole. The monster keeps trying to drag you in with its tentacles as it spits acid at you. Shooting it when it's tentacles are down will work.
