Key Notes

• All three Bonus Stages have a massive difficulty spike, even on Normal Difficulty.
• This is one of the few Stages in the game that doesn't feature any Boss battles, the others being Stage 4, 5, 7 and 12. Instead, the Stage is home to many powerful enemies such as all the three types of Spider Walker mini-bosses and the three Experimental Heavy Gunships.
• There are several Nuclear Ballistic Missiles where players can destroy for stars and points. However, letting them launch off-screen will break any active Chain Bonus. Use high-damaging features such as Laser power-ups, The Classic with the Laser Whip upgrade or Gladius plane to quickly tear through their colossal hit points.
• This Stage is also unique such that not only glowing Drones but also other several types of enemies drop Weapon Upgrades upon destruction. These include the Laser Drones, Laser Whip Turrets, Missile Planes and for some reason, the Dual Railgun Turrets. However, these enemies somehow drop the Weapon Upgrades without the glow that indicates so.
• Similar to Stage 13, the Omega army inscriptions and signs can be seen, though they are not so clear due to the Stage taking place at night.
• This is the only Stage where the mystery Dispenser is located before a regular Power-up Dispenser, in this case being an Energy Shield Dispenser being the last in sequence, near the end of the Stage.
• The Nuclear Ballistic Missiles do not deal damage to the Player when exploding, but they absolutely do while they're stationary. Be cautious.

Dispensers Locations

Stage B2 has three dispensers for Laser, Energy Shield and a mysterious dispenser for delivering crates.

The first dispenser is for Laser. It is on the right side of the screen, in between five Laser Drones. Bring down the Drones first before charging it due to the risk from their high damage laser beams.

The second one is a mysterious dispenser, unique for not being the final dispenser like other Stages. It's in the middle of the well-defended area by four red Radial Cannon and three Railgun Turrets.

The final dispenser is for Energy Shield. It is located on the right side of the screen under fire of rockets from the Experimental Heavy Gunship and missiles from Missile Planes.

Notable Quotes

Stage B2 is the only Bonus Stage to contain a unique dialogue quote. It plays only once, at the first run at this Stage.

"You are entering a missile base.

Those nukes must not be launched."
