* ScrappyWeapon: While none of the boss weapons are truly awful, their charged version can be...less than impressive. Two stand-outs, however, are Shotgun Ice, which just creates a rolling platform that seems to only exist so the player can get to the Heart Tank in Boomer Kuwanger's stage, and Fire Wave, which due to the way the normal weapon works, requires you to burn ammo just to charge the damn thing, can disrupt you if you're trying to use the normal fire in long bursts, and the payoff - a ground-hugging fire projectile - isn't particularly impressive enough to make up for it.

** The Storm Tornado. It deals enough damage to one-shot any normal enemy in '''the entire game''' via how many hits it lands, has a ton of ammo, goes through walls, and has a ''gigantic'' hitbox. Once you have it, you'll steamroll every level, and there's no real reason to use any other weapon outside of boss fights.

* ThatOneSidequest: Getting the Arm Cannon upgrade in Flame Mammoth's stage. Even if you have the Leg and Helmet upgrades needed to get it, its a pain in the ass to reach it. You need to do a pixel perfect jump dash to reach the blocks, and it is ''very'' easy to fall off after you smashed some of the blocks, forcing the player to restart the level in order to get a shot at getting it again. The dev team anticipated how hard this was, and [[AntiFrustrationFeatures have Zero give the player an arm cannon upgrade anyway]] in the first level of Sigma's Fortress if they failed to get it beforehand.
