him.
Defeating the last Boss
The final Boss can only be damaged by using the power
that he has.
Defeating O2
Press [B] to shoot your Shard Bomber. Shoot his
eye. It will bleed. Hit him until he closes his eye. When you
are hurting him, go left or right. When he closes his eye, hit
his halo until it breaks. Hit the bandage on his head and he will
have a spike on the bottom of him. Note: Hit his wings so that
he cannot catch up to you. Then, go around to the right or left
of him. Then, hit his eye until he closes it. Hit his halo until
it breaks. Hit his bandage. Hit the spike thing. Do this cycle
three times (except for the wings). Note: O2 on Dark Star only
appears when you get all 100 Shards and complete Miracle Matter
again.
Defeating Bosses
To defeat most Bosses easily, get the Snowflake combination
(Ice and Needle). Then, go right up to the boss and hold [B].
Their health will keep decreasing until they are defeated. Note:
This does not work with Whispy Woods, Pix, Acro, Magman, H-RH,
Mericle Matter, or O2.
Defeating O2
After you get all 100 shards, you will have to defeat
the Ripple Star Boss again. If you do, you will go to the next
star. To defeat O2 (the next Boss) keep shooting his eye -- you
will automatically get a gun that shoots shards. After awhile
his head will face the screen. Keep shooting his halo. If you
shoot it long enough, a large spike will appear from under him.
Do not stop shooting it. Repeat this approximately three times
to defeat him. You can also shoot the red part of his wings off
when he flaps them in front of his face.
First, shoot his eye. When he closes his eye and cannot move,
shoot his halo, A spike will materialize from the bottom area.
Shoot that while dodging the goo that he throws out.
