To damage this boss you need to hit the gems, hitting the boss causes no damage. From 9999 to 9000 health the boss will just stand there allowing you to damage him, after this he will become more aggressive but not overly so. Avoid him as best you can (sliding or jump hitting him will knock him down and allow you to get away). Don't get close as he'll throw you for a lot of damage. The only attack to worry about is when he sends a pillar of energy across this floor, this is easy enough to dodge however stay away from the wall as when it hits it the explosion will hit you even if you jumped the attack. Should he attack with his five fingered bombs sliding inside their range and knocking Golden Silver down should avoid them, or you can just move back.
The next phase will see the gems now revolve around the boss, this is the toughest part of the fight as he becomes more aggressive still. As before just keep avoiding him. if your laser targets the boss instead of the gems simply stop shooting for a fraction and start again as this will make it retarget the gems.
In the final section of the fight Golden Silver will retreat (On normal at least) and one of the four gems will attack you. Blue will shoot a laser down (just run/slide right or left to avoid it) red will fire off a swirling flame, time a slide right to avoid it. Green will send a homing attack towards you, wait until it is about to hit the ground then jump to avoid this (earlier and it will change direction up to hit you). The white gem attacks with a stream of machine gun fire, one easier modes this is actually harder to avoid (GS doesn't retreat on harder modes and can be used to block the attack) just do your best to get beside the gem and slide back and forth under it to avoid getting hit.

This guy is very tough, a suitable last battle. First of all, you get a choice of four random items (one of which could be health) each time you do this battle (if you die and restart that is) which is pretty handy. The main thing about this boss is that the gems control Golden Silver; GS himself is invincible, and so you should direct any fire toward the gems. I find the best weapon combo involves a homing gun, the key with this boss is avoiding the attacks will still damaging the gems.
Keep shooting the gems until Golden Silver appears and drops down. He doesn't actually do anything for a short while, so you can knock his health. However he will advance at this point, and any attacks will deal a lot of damage. His Golden Blast Nuclear attack are small explosions just away from his position, which can be dodged if you stand between his hand and the explosions, but is pretty tricky to pull off, so just stay away. The Earth Resolver is where he pounds the ground and causes a shockwave, which can be easily leaped; just watch his arm furthest away and if it moves down you know another wave is due. He can also disappear for a second or two, and when he does, quickly get to the side of the screen and wall jump and dive so when he appears you won't get hurt. He'll also charge across the screen very quickly at you, which is near impossible to avoid especially when close. At other times he will just stand still, so concentrate fire on the gems.
Once you manage to knock his health below the 4000ish mark, Golden Silver will take a backseat and the gems will kick in and do various attacks:
Red Gem - It will hover left to right and have a flame whip going in a circle. Basically follow the same direction and walk either side as it goes round. It will turn around at the wall, so just avoid it again. Be sure you give yourself enough room to maneuver.
Yellow Gem - A continuous torrent of projectiles across the screen. Just duck down to dodge it all and then fire at the gem for a few moments to make it revert to the top and to switch with another.
Blue Gem - Hovers above toward your position and when it's over you will fire down a laser. Just move out of the way as it comes to you and it'll miss easily, then fire at the other gyms while you wait for it to stop and chase you again.
Green Gem - Fires homing projectiles. Get as far away as possible and as a projectile comes toward you it would have stopped homing in by the time you jump to avoid it. If you are too close you won't be able to move out of the way in time.
