It was also the first to star Eddie "Flip-Top" and was the first one to have 2 Fotress's. The Robot Master's all seemed odd, but still a fun game. ------Ring Man------ Difficulty: 5/10 Ring Boomerang-- 4 Collision------- 8 Ring Man is predictable. At the start of the fight he will throw a Ring Boomerang and jump to catch it then he will throw another one in Mid Air and land to catch it, then he will run to a new position and start it over. Be careful, as sometimes when he is running to the new position he will Throw a Ring Boomerang. Basically just hit him with charged shots between Ring Boomerangs and Normal ones while he is running to his new position. Jump over the first Ring Boomerang he throws on the ground and the ones he throws in the air you shouldn't have to dodge so long as you jump over him when he lands.

The first thing he will do is charge at you. Since you are underwater just jump as high as you can to the other side of the room and charge up a shot on the way there. Now stand at the right side of the room and use that 1 Charged Shot to take out 2 of the Dive Missiles he releases and charge up another one to take out the 3rd one and hit him. Now he will charge at you again, just jump to the left and repeate, simple.

Sometimes he will jump at you, which in this case you may or may not want to slide under him depending on where he is jumping to. Other times, he will put on Skull Barrier, just wait for it to go down, once the barrier is down he will run at you, jump over him. If he starts shooting at you with his Buster, just take large jumps, jump over one shot and the next one he should angle up, then when you land he will fire another one straight at you, just do another large hop that makes it to where you only have to jump over every other shot. When he puts up the Skull Barrier take this time to charge up another charged shot for him.

Bright Man is programmed to do his Flash Stopper move, which freeze's you in place for a short while, at certain points in his health. Those being when he has 4 bars of health, 8 bars of health and 16 bars of health. Since Charged Shots do 3 bars of damage per charge shot, shoot him once with a normal shot to get around the "Danger" Health level and then continue to use only charged shots from there. This makes it to where the only things you must avoid is his Buster, which is simple to avoid and him jumping around.

He has 2 Attacks, Sucking you in towards him, to avoid this just run the other way. The other one is to use his Dust Crusher attack, which will cause him to hack a Dust Man Furball at you from his head. To avoid that, just simply jump straight up and it will split up, going into 4 angled directions under you, causing you no damage, take the time while he is sucking you in or hacking up the Dust Man Furball to prepare a charged shot.

Mainly because he is somewhat unpredictable. At the beginning of the fight he will go underground, during this time prepare a charged shot for him, and either slide around or jump around until he pops back up, don't go too crazy with sliding or jumping because you don't want to run into him when he pops up. Now he will either run around firing Drill Bomb's at you or go back underground, if he goes underground, repeate what you did at first, if he Starts firing Drill Bomb's then jump over them and if he starts running at you, try to jump over the Bomb and Him in one go. He may be kind of tough. If you jump over him before he fires a Drill Bomb then jump again as soon as possible to dodge it when he fires it behind him.

Aside from jumping around the only other attack he has is to do a dance that summons his Rain Flush Attack. All you have you do this entire fight is shoot at him and run under him turn around and repeate. From the start of the battle shoot at him and he will jump to where you were standing, so slide to the right and turn around and unload on him, he will jump to where you are, so slide under him again, turn around and unload again, and just repeat that and he is a joke. NOTE: You must shoot 2 or more shots at him to make him jump otherwise, he will stand there and try to do his Rain Flush Attack.

Pharaoh Man is quick and the only time you can get him to hold still is when he is charging up his Pharaoh Shot attack. Use the time when he is charging up his attack to deliver a charged attack of your own and jump over his charged up Pharaoh Shot. Slide away from him when he is jumping around shooting small shots. Jump over or slide away from his little shots. Charge up your buster while you are dodging him moving around and let loss when you have the chance.
