* WakeUpCallBoss: in ''2'', Damien is this this in Ice Land. He is a master at using tricks to reflect your projectiles; you may have seen CPUs sparingly before, but never with the precision success Damien does. But it's the final level, so how is this a wake-up call? Well, after you beat this and the final boss, you have expert mode, where ''everyone'' is going to be pulling trick reflections on you. It will make Damien look like a warm-up.
