Medabots AX
Rubberobo Gang
After defeating everyone in the Medabot tournament, wait until the credits end. You will see someone robbing your trophy. After the short intermission, the Rubberobo Gang will can be challenged at the normal places you usually battle (Forest, Factory, etc.). Although you cannot defeat them completely, you can get Medaparts. After you beat all the challengers in the tournament, the Rubberobo Gang will steal your prize. You will then get to fight various Rubberobo members at all locations on the map. There are certain areas on the map that contain the four Rubberobo Captains (Squidguts, Gillgirl, Shrimplips, and Seaslug). You will fact them in that order. Seaslug uses the Ultimate Medabot, Mega-Emperor. Mega-Emperor is has extremely high firepower and armor. Make sure you have a very strong team.
Arcbeetle
After finishing the tournament, face the Rubberobos. It takes skill and practice to defeat them, especially Seaslug. However, with the missile head, shoot accurately and it will be a one-hit kill. After defeating the Rubberobos, open your tournament prize for Arcbeetle, the Medabot Space Fighter X uses. The Prominence (head part attack) is only valid twice per battle. Although limited in number, it makes up in power.
Easy wins
During a Robattle, jump to a top corner and hold Down to charge your special. When full, press Select close to your opponent to do serious damage. Repeat if necessary.
Avoid giving up Medaparts
Whenever you lose a battle and you have to give up one of your Medaparts, hold A + B + Start + Select to reset the game, thus not registering your Medapart loss.
Flying
In either version of the game, have your character use either the Red Tail or the Wanafly Legs. Jump in the air in any stage and tap Up(2) to fly across the level in a straight line. Press Down(2) go in a slight downward direction.
