R is the only missile type to use practically.
So far I have learned that:
Stage 1: any weapon you want
Boss 1: Blue. You rush it immediately and destroy the first tank before the second one even arrives.
Stage 2: any non-Blue weapon, there is a moment in the middle of the stage with several tanks, some of which are rotating and they spam 360 degrees and the blue laser is too slow to clear the screen easily... it can be done but you might as well make things easier and use the other 2 weapons.
Boss 2: same thing, because it has two cannons on the sides that are best removed immediately for convenience, as well as the extra zakos it calls. Maybe the green laser is the most suitable.
Stage 3: strangely, any weapon is fine here.
Boss 3: Any weapon is good here, this boss has some nice patterns and I saw that there is a safe-spot in the final stage, in the top center but every time I tried it it never worked... I suck at safe-spots...
Stage 4: One of the two lasers.. the Vulcan (Red) is less optimal for clearing the screen, especially the spider-mecha in the middle of the level, but also for the meteors at the beginning (on the right between the meteors is the second fairy).
Boss 4: Same thing as above, in the first stage it has some pieces to destroy on the sides, and it is useful to remove them immediately, maybe the green laser can hit both the center part and one of the two sides at the right trajectory.
Stage 5: ANYTHING that is not the blue laser. The stage is full of cannons that activate practically in the middle of the screen and the blue laser is too slow to remove them quickly.
Boss 5: any weapon....I think I've always dodged the first pattern by luck...otherwise I use my first bomb here. The rest of his patterns are very nice.
Stage 6: Everything is very linear until the "Tower", maybe it's better to use the green laser there since it does pierce damage and passes through everything.
Boss 6: I dodge the first pattern with another bomb (sad), the rest is doable, another boss with nice patterns.
Stage 7: it has a phase similar to that of stage 2, but with more enemies, only that here they are mostly deployed in a grid so the two lasers are better than the vulcan.
Boss 7: I have no idea how to do the initial part if not by spamming the remaining bombs...the final phase (the one with only the crystal) is strangely much easier than the first one.
more or less this is how I'm approaching it, the hardest part is having the right weapon at the right time and not missing the R-missiles (and maybe accidentally swapping them with others).

You have to destroy all of the cranes at the sides of the screen in order to get the level 3 1up.
Oh THANK YOU!!!
Is the only 1UP ?
