Mirroring some info from Plasmo's Twitter feed. Supporting pics are in the tweets.

On the train
Plasmo wrote:How to trigger the Gunbird train.

① Don't kill any of the tanks&cars that don't fire during the opening.

② Hover over a tree when the jingle plays in the music. The tree depends on the level this stage is played on.

Level 1 = tree 1 etc.
Choosing the Stage 6 midboss

Which of the two midbosses you get to fight depends on whether you stay in the center of the screen (Cross Blade) or on either side (Geo Bite).
Choosing the Stage 7 midboss

① When you reach the midboss section, align your x-axis position as shown by the red line in the picture below.

② This is the most lucrative midboss for scoring!
Chosing the Stage 7 Boss

① When the boss gates are about to open, stay at the bottom of the screen between the red lines as shown in the pictures.

② Use your score counter as a visual cue for the x-axis position.

God it makes me so happy that the dancing alien is the best midboss for scoring because it's also the best midboss for the soul.

My main is the Spitfire, love that thing. Does anyone know offhand if you get more damage output going at bosses point blank with its charge shot, or the main shot?

Also, I'm dying to know if this guy ever became king of Strikers at the bar. This cliffhanger has been hanging for too long.
