Alien

The **Alien** is the 6th and final boss and the main antagonist of Astro Bot Rescue Mission. The alien appears during the intro where it rips Astro's ship apart sending the crew flying and ripping off the VR visor before putting it on and flying off. The alien makes no cameo appearances other than the start of its level where it taunts Astro and flies off.

### Appearance

The alien is a massive green alien who flies around in a grey and red UFO. It has big cartoonish eyes with pink eyelids and long green antennae.

### Walkthrough

After rescuing enough bots & clearing all 5 worlds, you will gain access to the final level, a red black hole. At the start of the level, the alien appears and taunts Astro and flies off while Astro traverses some floating space debris before reaching a large metal platform. When reaching this platform the alien's UFO will fly in and the alien will pop out and turn on the VR visor. After a second, the alien will yell and take out its own little controller, beginning the fight.

### Boss Fight

The alien uses most of the gadgets you have used in the past as a means of attacking Astro. These include:

1. Spraying a massive gush of water with the water gadget that must be jumped over.
2. Firing missiles with the minigun gadget.
3. Throwing vertical and horizontal shurikens with the shuriken gadget.

Eventually, the alien will get annoyed and slam its controller into the platform, causing it to get stuck, and the alien will grab onto it with its hand, prompting the player to punch the alien's hand to send the alien reeling back in pain, allowing the player to use its own controller against it. Each phase has you use a different upgraded gadget. These include:

1. Use the water gadget to extinguish the alien's giant flaming boxing gloves
2. Use the shuriken gadget to destroy the blade of the alien's giant sword
3. Use the minigun gadget to shoot down the projectiles that the alien throws at the player

Each successful defense will deal damage to both the alien and the VR visor before the alien steals back its controller: (the color of the platform will change color depending on who has the giant controller: Blue for Astro, Black for the alien), until eventually, after shooting down the alien's projectiles with the minigun gadget, the player must charge up a beam by holding the fire button down. After holding it down for long enough, the alien will be blasted into space before being destroyed in a massive explosion, ending the fight and sending the VR visor crashing to the floor (Don't worry, the ship fixes it). Defeating the alien also rewards the player with the E.T. Crawl Home trophy.

### Trivia

The alien, like the other Astro Bot Rescue Mission bosses, can be refought in the challenge belt--however, the level part of the fight has been removed.

Also like the other bosses, the alien's original level: (the final battle), cannot be replayed once it has been beaten.

The alien is one of three biological bosses in Astro Bot Rescue Mission, the other two being the Bird and Spider.

Unlike the other bosses, the alien cannot be seen dazed and defeated on the world selection screen when beaten due to the alien's boss fight, being its own level, and not part of a world.

The alien has red eyes with the VR visor on, but is unable to actually do anything with it other than look cool.

You can also gain the Shoot the Shu trophy by shooting the president's name in the credits that play after beating the alien with the minigun gadget (if you miss, you can always replay the credits if you want).
