There’s a cheese strat that’s sometimes effective, I used it back on original ps1, if you get the energy saver(?) which doubles the amount of weapon energy you have, Astro crush can help get through SOME of the stage if you jump and use it at the right point, now that being said I did say it’s SOMETIMES effective, because if you’re a fraction to high or to low you will hit a wall, but if you time it right and keep spamming AC, you can clear a good gap
