2-3

we now arrive at our second boss fight, and this one tends to give me a bit more trouble compared to Dragon Machine...

Boss 2 is... well... geez, i can't actually find any info on this guy. i looked through the GameFAQs guide, i tried finding an official strategy guide, i even took the initiative to check the Jumping Flash! *shudder* Fandom Wiki, but no dice. from what i can gather, it looks like some kind of scorpion... totem pole... creature? man, the first boss was so easy to comprehend, and now we've got this guy to try and decipher. he'll shoot balls of electricity and try to nip you with his pincers, but realistically it isn't anything to worry about. just unload all your special weapons and jump on him till he's dead to get the job done.

i'll be honest, this guy was a pushover. the boss was over so quickly, in fact, that i didn't even get a screencap of him exploding. ah well, there's always boss 3. speaking of which, let's get a move on to the next world, shall we?
