Start to First Battlecruiser: You'll first see rows of shogun grunts (armored soldiers) all around. A group of three scoutships with come from straight ahead, and a grunt will come from the left. Another grunt is just ahead. On the next ship is a gold ring, and a large group of scouties will come from the left. There will be a grunt here, too; destroy him for a laser upgrade. You'll see a wrecked ship lower. Shoot the grunt there, and watch helplessly as 2 sets of 3 missiles destroy it. (You can bomb to destroy missiles.) There will be a big ship on the left, and a smaller one nearby. 3 sets of 3 missiles will destroy the small one, and A whole fleet of scouties will come from above. A Venomian battlecrusier is up ahead. It's bay doors will fire some white plasma at you, and then launch 9 scouties each. You can take the upper or lower path through the ship. The upper path has more enemies. Killing all enemies on either path will give you a gold ring.

First Battlecruiser to Route Dicision: You see a Venomian attacker with 2 dome guns on it. You can destroy guns. A larger ship floats above, but you can get up there. You will soon three 3 of the Venomian attackers, one high up, one down low, and one in the middle. After passing these, 5 scouties will come from behind, do a somersault to safely get behind them. A large Cornerian ship sprawls accross the screen, and 10 or 12 missiles are ready to hit it; you can bomb these to destroy them if you wish. Afterwards, two groups of scouties will come in; one from the left and one from the right. There is a gold ring on the Cornerian ship, as well as the checkpoint. Afterwards, you will see a large ship ahead. There are two grunts there--one high and one low--which will switch positions. Heading up takes you to the upper route, and going down takes you to the lower route. Both have about the same amount of enemies, but the lower route has more grunts, and the scouties are spread out a lot.

Upper Route: You will first be assaulted by 6 groups of 3 scouties. This occurs right as you are going over the ship to this route. After that, you will come to a field of wrecked Corneria ships, where Slippy will weed out some scouties for you. A group of 3 comes from behind a ship on the right. 3 more will come from the left. After climbing over the last of the Cornerian ships, Slippy will be chased by a ton of scouties. Launch a bomb to get them all, or just fire a lot into the group; it is not hard to destroy them all. Next, five Venomian attackers will move across the screen. They altrnate in direction; the first one heading to the right, and so on. Afterwards, you will fly under a large ship to see two Venomian ships and a grunt. Shoot the grunt, and watch that you don't hit Falco, who flies up from below. After the ships part, 4 groups of 3 scouties will fly in; one from each corner. Up ahead you will see some Venomain attackers. Below is the meeting point.

Lower RouteShogun grunts come in full-force here. 2 grunts come first, followed by an attacker. A battelcruiser will come into view. There is a grunt standing on it, and the hanger bays will launch scouties out towards the left. More scouties are launched from the deck of the ship, and another grunt hides behind the wall. Afterwards, a grunt and 4 scouties will fly in formation from behind. You should see 3 venomian attackers ahead. Behind the first one, 2 scouties are hiding, and so is a grunt. Behind the third are about 6 scouties and another grunt. A line of scouties will be flying down from above on the left side. Afterwards, a more powerful Shogun soldier lies. He takes about 3 charged blasts to destroy. Afetrwards is an attacker, and then you will reach the meeting point.
