Defeat Strategy
Heavy Gunner is an auto-scrolling boss - it's constantly moving to the right, taking the player with it. The Heavy Gunner flies at the top of the screen in a helicopter, rocket launcher in hand, accompanied by three Eggrobos. Heavy Gunner will fire waves of rockets at the player, consisting of two red rockets and one blue rocket. The player must avoid the red rockets and strike the blue ones, either by jumping or rolling into them. Upon hitting a blue rocket, the rocket will spin out of control and direct itself back toward the Heavy Gunner, causing him to fly offscreen and instead causing the rocket to hit one of the Eggrobos. This process must be repeated 3 more times. Upon hitting the final rocket, the Heavy Gunner will jump off of his helicopter and fly offscreen, causing the rocket to hit the helicopter and destroy it, ending the fight.
