I don't know if this is common knowledge for the few that actually play this game....but during the stage 5 boss, on it's 3rd and last part I locked my twin gun shot on the boss with him being in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
My ship was located on the very bottom toward the left. The boss literally did not move as I was shooting.
After it was destroyed the screen scrolled forward a little and two 1 ups appeared. Whoa.
Edit: I also feel as if I posted this improperly when looking at the other posts in strategy. Someone relieve me of my ignorance.
