Spider

The Spider is the fourth boss in astro bot rescue mission.The spider makes a cameo appearance halfway through world 4-3(idk)where it can be seen crawling up the wall and out of sight on the left side of the screen. It makes a full appearance as the boss in world 4-5, swingin sister.

Appearance
The Spider is a giant Spider with light purple skin and small black beady eyes. The spider is the only boss in the game to wear actual clothes, these being a vest,lipstick,wig,and glasses.

Walkthrough
After you rescue enough bots to unlock world 4-5 swingin sister, the level starts with Astro bot moving throughout a small cave before eventually coming a giant room, once you step onto the big platform in the center of the room the path behind you collapses leaving you trapped in the room, suddenly a pink glow lights up the room and the spider crawls up the wall and swings down and laughs, beginning the fight.

Boss Fight
The spider has only 2 attacks, 1:The spider tosses down a bunch of eggs which hatch into baby spiders which astro must punch away and hanging off the back wall of the cave by web strands and spitting purple goop at astro. When the spider latches onto the back wall of the cave the web strands holding the spider up glow yellow on certain parts, using the shuriken gadget the player can cut the web strands and force the spider to stop attacking, the spider will hold on to the ceiling after the web strands on the wall are cut requiring the player to cut the ceiling strand to knock the spider down. When the spider is knocked down the player must have astro punch the spiders cheek until it turns a bright pink and causes the spider to fall off the platform and into the abyss below only for it to crawl back up the wall for another round. Repeat this two more times (while being careful not to fall off the platform as it gets smaller with each hit to the spider and also to free astro when the spider grabs him in a web before it throws him off the platform) until eventually the spiders shades and lipstick break forcing the spider to hang on the ceiling from unbreakable webs, to finish off the spider you must, no joke, use the shuriken gadget to cut off the strands on the spiders vest busting it open. Once this is done the spider, in shock, will cover up its exposed stomach with all its legs and wig, this proves to be a mistake and the spider plummets into the abyss below for good, the pink lights fade and the fight ends. Defeating the spider also rewards the player with the heartbreak trophy.

Trivia
The spider, like all the other astro bot rescue mission bosses, can be refought in the challenge belt, however the level part of the fight has been removed.

Also like the other bosses, the spiders original level swingin sister cannot be replayed once it is beaten

The spider is one of three biological bosses in astro bot rescue mission, the other two are the Bird and Alien.

Like the other astro bot rescue mission bosses, the spider can be seen dazed and defeated on the world selection screen after its been beaten for the first time.

The spider is the only female boss or character in the whole astro bot universe. Its level name is also a reference to how actual spiders swing around in order to make webs.

You can also get the Gentleman trophy if you look behind you while shooting the spiders clothes off in the final phase.
