Dr Kahls Robot in Junkyard Jive is possibly the hardest boss fight in Cuphead. It is very understandable if this level is giving you problems since there are a LOT of things you have to keep track of, but hopefully my method will help make things easier for you.
Some tips for the boss fight:
Use the Coffee charm
First Phase:
-As soon as the fight starts go straight to his stomach area and damage it as much as possible, avoiding his ray, go up to the antenna and shoot bombs at it while it's firing the ray (the bombs damage the antenna while it's firing due to splash damage regular bullets won't hurt it when it's firing). When the parryable comes out go parry it so that you have less things to worry about (You'll need 3 parries for the A+, and these are the only parryables in the level).
-Either go for the stomach or the antenna now, I prefer to go for the stomach first, after you destroy the stomach area he'll send out bombs that'll track you, destroy the first one, it'll come out as soon as you destroy the stomach. Destroy the antenna next, after destroying the antenna he'll start spitting out nuts and bolts which are relatively easy to dodge. By now you should have 3 parries so go for the final part, his chest. After you destroy that his heart will pop out, destroy it as fast as possible using your super and all the firepower you've got so that you can avoid the magnet and/or his hands.
This phase seems daunting at first but when you get this pattern down it's easy.
Second phase:
-When his head is below use bombs and when on top use bullets. The tricky part of this phase is the tracking missiles/bombs, one will spawn each time his head comes on screen, you can lead both of them into each other (shown in the video) or you could just destroy them, they're easy to take out with bombs, rather hard with the bullets.
Final Phase:
-The hardest phase for me, the red gems move straight and the blue ones move in a spiral. When he is firing his gems ONLY focus on dodging, use your supers and ex moves when he stops since using ex moves stops your movement for a brief moment which could lead you to taking a hit. Use the plane shrink in tight situations.
Hopefully this helps you beat him and get the A+!
