7 Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash 3-B Old Ironhide, the Terror of the Deep, Boss Destination Wheel

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about the boss of this stage. First though, I'll talk about the Boss Destination Wheel.

The Boss Destination Wheel is pretty weird. There's only one boss here to face, so the panels are all filled with the same thing. Just one possible outcome. I really don't know what the point of it is. Maybe it'll come into play later? Many games have a boss rush before you face the final boss, so maybe that's something that happens here. At that stage, the Boss Destination Wheel might be something different indeed.

This boss in the Caribbean is a big blue robot whale. I had to face it in my submarine so there was a lot of slow manoeuvring to avoid its attacks. It opens up the front part of its nose to release mines, but this also exposes its weak point. Luckily its attack patterns aren't that quick, but you still have to be ready for them. It charges at you and shoots a beam now and again. Convert the green socket mines into torpedoes and use these on its weak point.

The music that plays here has this world's themed steel drums and an active beat, so it's quite fitting. When you beat the boss you can salvage the scrap it leaves behind.

On beating the boss, I gain the ability to explore the levels as I please without having to use the destination wheel. Yay!
