Baraduke: Stage 8 (Floors 43-48, Final Boss & Ending)

In the final set of floors, floors 43‑46 feature a designed shape; on floor 46, Kissy emerges from a pipe and the player must spiral away while shooting the last Octys. The enemies cluster near the gate, and the player must dodge an onslaught of projectiles. On floor 48, the player fights King Octy; shooting his eye has no effect, so the player must shoot him to stop his attack, then guide Kissy into his mouth and shoot the eye from inside to defeat him. Completing the game reveals that Kissy, the "Brave Man," is actually a woman, and if played with two players, Takky also turns out to be a woman. This twist predates Samus's reveal.
