Questions that have been asked about the challenge:
So are these supposed to be exact replicas or just based on said concept cores? - TBD
All enemies are based on these concepts, but directly copying a gradius boss is not allowed. - Rumia
Explain the types. It’s mostly the Big Core type that I’m confused with. - Fourboxes
Okay, here is a basic rundown of the boss types. A Big core is an elaborate shell that protects and covers “Core” Parts, they’re usually invincible on all part except the connectors which must be taken out to get to said core.
Gunwalls are exactly what they sound like, walls with attached guns. These work like massive turrets, usually with destructible/regenerating weapons, they also use the connectors to hide their cores from destruction.
Shadow Dancers are pretty much mobile walls, using long spindly legs to move through halls and catch the player off guard. They usually move in a predictable pattern though, so moving in between the legs is a matter of planning and timing. -Rumia
Does this include other bosses such as Covered Core and B.E.S. Tetran? Or only Big Core styled bosses? - Zaximillian
Covered Core and Tetran variants are allowed. - Rumia
