The big, beefy fellow over here is none other than the giant bully, Flame Mammoth. Since I had already beaten Chill Penguin, the lava floors that the factory once had are now frozen over. This makes the stage as a whole much easier, and subsequently a fair bit boring. Not the strongest episode in the series to be sure, but the upgrade in this stage is a big one.
Allowing you to charge your special weapons really makes each one just the slightest bit more interesting, and even the X-Buster's increased charging capabilities are pretty effective for dealing with mooks.
