Studiopolis Zone Bosses
  • Act 1: Heavy Gunner: This large robot flies around and shoots missiles. Dodge its missiles and hit it when it lands or is briefly vulnerable after firing. It will sometimes charge a powerful shot, giving you a window to attack.
  • Act 2: Heavy Shinobi: A ninja-themed robot that uses shurikens and smoke bombs. Attack him when he's visible and avoid his projectiles. He often leaves himself open after a dash attack or when he reappears from a smoke cloud.

Learning the Heavies' patterns is crucial for these fights.
