Stage 5 - Organic Fortress, one of the most impressive stages in Gradius Gaiden. Unlike the organic-cells stages from the previous games, there are no growing cells nor cells that regenerates/recovers after shooting them out. But this time, the walls on top and bottom will move up and down(YUCK!!), some parts the membranes puches in so much that they even 'almost' close up...so rush through the gaps while you can. Later on, you'll see some enemies that looks like dome sort of 'microfilaments'/'microtubules', what they do is they use their arms to hold on to the sides, then they pull the membranes together, closing the passage...but relax, just 'Crush all of them!!!'

BOSS
This sick mother looks like some sorta muscle-skin-cells(YUCK!!!!!!!!!) Anyhow, the entire membrane can move according to its EYE's movement. It will stop and shoot a THICK beam, don't worry about that too much, it'll be blocked by its very own skin most of the time...but what you'll need to watch out for are the 2 or 3(depending on your power-ups and/or if you're on 2nd quest) bouncing balls it shoots out, it'll leave small cannon pods on the skin! Careful!
