Story-related; cannot be missed.
This is the third boss of the game, and it's a giant tank that you can only damage by shooting the actual commander on top. Personally, I had both damage upgrades by this point and one health upgrade, and it was enough to allow me to tank all of his damage while constantly shooting at him, and I was at no risk of dying.
Hitting him is awkward because even on the top platform you still need to jump to hit him, but only at the mid point of your jump. I literally just jumped nonstop from the top platform, but only tapping
to make it a short jump to keep shooting him. He'll drive across the screen, and you have just enough jump height to jump over him both times. He'll also shoot a volley of shots at you. I'm not sure it's possible to jump fast enough to clear them all, so you could drop down to the lower platform to avoid them, or just tank the damage like I did.
