Hidden Base

Hidden Base is the fifth stage in Blazing Chrome.
== Walkthrough ==
After all they have been through, Mavra and Doyle receive information that the Resistance's intelligence has discovered the location of the enemy army's power core. If they manage to destroy it, all the troops linked to it will be disabled. It would be a significant step for the Resistance in this war!
Here, the player will start piloting the motorcycle, with dynamics similar to Stage 2 - Supply Train, meaning the principles for attacking and defending are similar. You'll soon be able to pick up a defense robot.
Time your jumps well to dodge napalm explosions since the bombs cannot be destroyed. The warning symbol "!" appears a few seconds before pits and barriers, so prepare to jump. It may be necessary to memorize the order in which they appear since some regions require longer jumps.
There are three sub-bosses in this segment. The first is an excavator robot that will throw snowballs straight or bouncing towards you. It has an attack where it advances to the left to hit the protagonist and an attack where it places its hands on the ground, with them coming out where the player is. Drones that shoot to hinder will also appear, but simply stay to the left and time your movements to dodge the snowballs, in addition to moving when it puts its hands on the ground. This way, you'll win easily.
There's another defense robot before the next sub-boss. Don't stand still, and stay under it when it shoots diagonally. When it spins the spiked ball, dodge to one side when it's above you, always destroying the robots that appear to make your battle even more challenging.
At the end of the segment, you'll have the opportunity to pick up a speed robot. The double jump can help you dodge barriers more easily while facing the next sub-boss. Jump over the barriers and step back when it jumps, jumping over it afterward. When the head explodes, continue with the same tactic, but dodge its shots.
In the next part, you can use the last mecha, which has an extremely powerful cannon but can overheat if used continuously. It can also fire a homing rocket using the weapon switch button, but this takes time to recharge.
There's an extra life on a distant platform, which can be reached with the double jump of the speed robot or the mecha.
On the big cannon screen, trick it into firing in one corner while you go to the other, always dodging the soldiers appearing from all sides. The mecha here can cause significant damage, and if it survives, you'll move on to the next stage with full energy.
In the final stage, one of the most challenging parts of the game, your mecha will be temporarily stored while you go through a segment with vertically moving platforms, along with energy bars at the top and bottom of the screen that kill you on touch. Advance slowly to avoid being caught off guard by soldiers, drones, and support cannons, rolling when going from a rising platform to a descending one.
At the end of the platforms, you'll get your mecha back. Use it to destroy the blocks blocking the upper passage that appears shortly afterward, where you'll get another extra life.
At the end of this section, you'll find four devices on the ceiling that shoot bullets. Destroy them while dodging soldiers who constantly appear from both sides.
Next, a device will appear on the right, firing multiple shots at intervals and three shots in your direction at another interval. Take advantage of the moment of multiple shots and crouch on the first platform, shooting at it, so you won't be hit.
Now, it's time for the stage boss. After swimming under the screen, from one side to the other, it will resurface in an arched movement. This is a good opportunity to hit it while dodging the drops of acid falling from its body on the main platform.
When you see the acid lake stirring, dodge to one of the upper opposite platforms, positioning yourself where you can shoot at it safely without being hit by the acid splashes.
With the boss defeated, we move on to Stage 6, the final stage of Blazing Chrome.
