Gigavolt - The Chase

This entire stage is just a chase after the boss. You have to shoot Gigavolt enough to trigger the boss fight.

You do have a time limit - if you don't get him within 2 "laps", you take a death. Going up and over the very tall building is a good marker for the lap (it's about 90% of the way through)

Your goal time should be somewhere around the tunnel.

This stage is extremely laggy on PS2, and has a high chance of failure your first few attempts. If Gigavolt gets too far ahead of you, it is often faster to just quit and restart the stage.

Bike Controls

The bike boosts using your weapon energy. That's why there are many Weapon Energy drops throughout the stage. Collecting them gives you a boost back. This stage largely requires memorizing the locations to be successful.

Also note both characters have their own weapon ammo gauges, so you can swap to use the other's boost.

If you are not doing this stage first, you can also purchase weapon energy upgrades at the shop, or a Weapon Bottle, to help out.

You can't move faster other than boosting. You also loose a lot of distance every time you get hit, so be judicious with your boosts and keep firing shots.

Tactics

If you are here first, you may want to just survive. You need to get in close with Zero to attack with jump slashes for minimal iframes. Zero can knock the small jellies away with his sword.

If you take damage or otherwise get into a tight spot, you can tag in X. Given X does not have the means to avoid long iframes, spam lemons as your backup while Zero heals.

This fight is obviously fastest if done entirely with Zero, but if you bring in X at all, you can just end the fight with a team attack.
