Part 1: Intro and Top Man





Comments:
Yeah, Slide is Down + A, which makes far more sense anyway. When I first played the game, incidentally, I was stuck at the mandatory slide part in Top Man because I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get past .
Also...YouTube, why the fuck did you suddenly decide to accept my videos? I won't complain, but....

Stage Comments:
As I say, it's quite easy. The first part can get you swarmed easily, but there's plenty of health to refill on. The miniboss cats shouldn't be any trouble, and the platforming part at the end is very nice. If you're really doing badly, you can also farm Top Fiends for refills.

Boss Strategy:
Most of it should be visible in the video. He'll always shoot out three tops which home in on you, then spin for a bit in place and change sides. Repeat.
The tops are dodgeable with one slide at the right moment. If you're always far away from him, jumping over the Top Spin attack isn't a problem, though you might get caught off-guard by its surprising speed. Don't get hit too often, as it's quite damaging.
