Oops, yeah I meant grenade instead of bombs.  The single use bomb works well on the 5th level boss, but mainly as a defensive move when there's too many things trying to kill you.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out, just beat the 5th area boss.  I got so frustrated I watched a Youtube clip of how to beat it, and the guy used a combo of the bombs and the other guns, which is totally wrong.  I used the same strategy, and would have fights that went literally ten minutes before I lost all my life.  You have to shrink the boss, and if you aren't fast enough, it grows back.  The thing is, you can only shrink it by using the bombs.  The first two guns DON'T DO ANY DAMAGE, despite the fact that the boss flashes as if it's hurting him!!.  WTF!!  Why do they make it look like you're damaging it when you're not??  I guess that's what I get for cheating and looking on Youtube.

Seriously, has anyone here beat the level 5 boss?  I've spent hours trying to beat it, and it just seems impossible.  I've been playing video games for 15 years now, and this may be the most difficult boss I've ever went up against.  Please help!!

I just found the level 4 boss.  It's up in the very top right of area 4, in the room that looks like a long rectangle on the map.  To get up there, you have to make a precise jump up from the level below.  The room below has three of the green satellite looking things.  Get past them and go to the next room on the far right. Use your hook and go up and to the left, back into the room with the satellites.  Get on top of the last satellite on the left and use you hook to attach to the ceiling above and to the left.  Hook on and then hover down and to the left to get to the path that leads to the boss. 


Hope that helps, it took me hours to figure this part out.  Let me know if you have any luck on the boss, he kicks my ass every time.

This game is awesome, but just as tough as the original.  The second boss takes forever if you use the standard gun.  Switch to the rocket launcher for the first part of the fight, then finish it off with the standard gun after it changes its attack.  After beating the second boss, I can't figure out how to get to world 3.  Anyone know what to do next?
