Anyone finished the boss rush mode of Armed Police Batrider?

Have any of you ever finished this beast? The boss rush in this has to be one of the hardest as the bosses are just relentless in the later stages.

Anyone have any mame replays of someone completing this?

Yeah, I did it. If you pick a ship that doesn't trigger extra bosses it's not too bad.

With all the extra guys though it gets pretty crazy.

How many less bosses get triggered? I've credit fed about 3 times and have always had 13 bosses (which is GREAT fun, but damned hard).

13 bosses? I only remember there being 9. The 4 regular stage bosses, the 3 stage 5 bosses, then the stage 6 and 7 bosses. I've never been able to pass the final boss. Tag-T, my rider of choice, is way too slow for the spinning lasers. Envy takes enough of my bombs/lives that I'm lucky to survive the stage 6 boss anyways.

If you're getting more bosses than that, you're likely picking a Mahou and Garegga ship, in which case you get to fight some of the secret bosses as well. Unless you really like the bonus ships, it might be worth just practicing with a normal character until you get the regular bosses down.

Yeah, that's probably the case then.

The regular bosses are difficult enough. It seems they always do something different when I fight them. I think last time I fought the level 1 boss he pulled flame throwers on me (I think it was the 1st).

Yup, just went there earlier. Explains the extra stages I keep getting in boss mode - as well as the random extra bosses and stages I've encountered while playing a few times.

And now I know how NOT to draw friggin' Envy.

if you get 13 bosses youre proboably playing with one garegga and one mahou character since there are 2 exra garegga bosses and 2 extra mahou (as i know of, maybe more?)

I could do it without Glow Squid and Black Heart, i think their Batrider counterparts are a bit too anal (like rank maxes out regardless of how you play). The Mahou/Shippu Mahou ones are doable, even if the ninjas are a bitch (names escape me now...)
