Fourth boss is Death MK II, the giant laser is his second attack

Stage 5 with lots of pissed off Moai, plus these red ones can also turn around
thumbnail
This is the first Gradius game to feature the Option Hunter which, as the name suggests, steals Options from the player
thumbnail
Fifth boss: Big Moai, jeez... say it, don't spray it!
thumbnail
The fast scrolling sixth stage

Stage 7 is just one big Boss Rush, featuring several bosses from both the original Gradius and Salamanader. This is Brain Golem, he was the first boss in Salamander
thumbnail
Tetran
thumbnail
Final stage
thumbnail
A gigantic mechanical crab, which is completely invincible... the only thing you can do is dodge beneath its legs and wait until it leaves the screen
thumbnail
Primary antagonist and final boss: Gofer, just like the brain in the first game, he doesn't attack
