Story-related; cannot be missed.

This is the final planet of the game and it unlocks after completing all other areas. The first and second levels are straightforward and more of the same. The dragon miniboss at the end of the first level only has three very easily dodged attacks. Near the end of the second level a giant creature will come out of the ground, but it dies in literally seconds. The third level introduces some new enemies but also some obstacles that are a little more precarious. Be careful and patient in this level, and know there's no miniboss at the end.

The boss can get really hectic, but if you've still got a shotgun from the previous levels he's not difficult at all actually. For the first half of the fight, focus fire on him and pay close attention to the candies that come raining down. It's safer to dodge them entirely, because shooting them makes them send out bullets or other attacks. Stay at least halfway up the screen so you're safe from the fire that spews up. For the second phase, after he goes haywire, you'll want to stay as even with his mouth as possible when he opens it to shoot. Dodge the candies like normal, but as soon as his mouth opens, get in line with it so you can destroy all of the projectiles that come flying at you. If you're at an angle you'll almost assuredly get hit. That's it for the second phase and for the final boss battle.
