This video is part of a larger series that encompasses the Ship Showcase playlist. This is the forty ninth video that I recorded.
Ships in this series: Mad Forest, Mad Forest II, Mad Forest III
This is a seriously underpowered ship. The red weapon fires in criss crossing waves in front of the Force, but if one of the wide lasers hits terrain, it stops dead. There are two beams to it, so one laser will keep going, but it's so big that it's hard to keep from hitting the ground. The blue weapon fires in arcs in front of the Force, which then curve behind it and fire in the opposite direction, meaning that if you want to fire right, you need to put the Force on the back of the ship. The yellow weapon is a long tendril that extends from the Force and changes direction based on movement. It's my personal favorite weapon, even though it's hard to use and aim. Missiles are Bydo style Homing Missiles, and are good for all occasions. The Eyeball Bits are the same as the Round Bits, but don't fire with the red weapon equipped on this ship. The Ivy Force does not fire while detached, has a chain attached to it like the Claw Force, but does not attached to enemies, making it super weak. The Wave Cannon is two loop charge that fires vines from the front of the ship that extend about half of the screen.
I love this stage. The music is great, the organic and mechanical Bydo are awesome, but the boss is not good. It's a pair of coffins that shoot seeds out that will grow into tentacles when they touch the floor or ceiling. Sometimes the coffins will fly over you, leaving you with little choice but to fly above or below them, putting yourself at huge risk of dying to a stray bullet, which come from the top and bottom of the coffins. Adding to that, the weak point is usually on the side opposite of where you are, so you can't even get Wave Cannon shots in most of the time. On R-Typer, the coffins come in at the same time, making it doubly annoying. I always play on Bydo so I can focus on one before the other shows up. It's a frustrating boss, and was the huge reason that I replaced this stage in my No Miss R-Typer playthrough.
