Laser Tetran will appear first, a ship that will fire four lasers, clearly limiting the flight space. The boss is Kraken, a new version of the classic ship, which will use long arms and various shots to finish you off.

However, this time it has the addition of a black hole, which will engulf the stage and those ships that risk getting closer. The classic mountainous area of the saga. After falling, he will resurrect as Gigas Rose, a dangerous flower that will fire multiple shots. After rotting, it will turn into Hunter Fang, a dangerous skeletal plant that will try to kill you with bites and other attacks. The boss is Stinger Kid, a plant that will throw seeds at you.

#Gradius 2 mechanical base full
A jungle area, full of plants and flowers. The boss is Mad Skin, a sphere embedded in the skin, which will launch dangerous attacks that can destroy you in one hit. Organic balls will cling to the walls, blocking the way. Organic base similar to that seen in previous Gradius and Salamander. The boss is Moai Dimension, a pair of moais that will launch drone shots and hoops that will dwarf when shot. On this occasion, there are not only moai that turn around, but also some dangerous ones, such as those capable of launching a laser with their eyes. The boss is Shining Core, a new version of the typical enemy ship, which will launch various lasers at you. You must destroy those crystals that block your path, and use these to attack the various enemies that will cross the area. An area full of crystals that reflect or redirect your laser, creating the most varied effects. The one below, Grave, is a small robot that will collect pieces of ships, attacking with them and its long arms. The top one, Nobil, is a four-legged arachnid robot that will use powerful lasers and its jumps to try to knock you down. The level is divided in two towards the end, giving a choice between two bosses. This level is the tomb of old enemy ships of the saga, where you can find Big Core, Tetran or Crystal Core, among others. The boss is Blizzard Crawler, a snow worm that will attack by throwing snowballs and try to eat you. An icy level, full of dangerous snow avalanches, ice ramps and all kinds of enemies. The laser is taken from the Parodius saga, in a shot used by Pentarou from Parodius Da! until later titles in the saga. It also has a double shot capable of firing in three directions (0, 45 or 90 degrees), depending on the direction of the enemies. The Falchion has two-way missiles, which fall to the ground, break in two, and go left and right.
