Space Battle / The Tunnels - Spot Goes to Hollywood

The music that plays during the 2nd level of the 4th world which is based on futuristic movies.
It also plays during the final level of the game, called "The Tunnels". But we'll get to that in a minute.

The Space Battle (Or "Space-Battle"?) is another gimmick level based off of Star Wars; it's more like The Mine Cart Ride level. Except there's no mine, no carts, but you're on one helluva ride.

You have to guide yourself up, down, left and right as you pilot your spacecraft and shoot enemies.

I actually don't know how you're supposed to complete this level; if you have to shoot down enough enemies or make it to the end, or both. It doesn't make a lot of sense.


The Tunnels, which is what the level you are taken to right after finishing up the 4th world, is also based off of a futuristic movie: Alien.

This has to be, by far, the hardest level in the game. There's lots of those annoying spider-like enemies, and those badass android enemies from the Space Station that WILL kill you if you aren't careful.
The whole hellhole is a maze, and is very confusing. There's also leaking fluids, and it's just a very tough level.

The boss is, in fact, the Alien itself. It reminds me more of the pizza monsters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The boss itself is stationary, much like the sea monster boss at the beginning of the game. Unfortunately it's a lot harder. It lays eggs which hatch into these very ferocious spider creatures that attack you a lot. I forget if the boss has an attack itself; I'm pretty sure it does though.
I just remember camping right beside it and jumping constantly to avoid the little spiders while spraying the mother with shots.
Then she died, and then the credits roll.
