Covered Core

Template:Infobox Boss

Background

Covered Core MK I is one of the most defensive bosses in Gradius. It has a rotating shield that protects the center core area. The shield looks like a nuclear symbol and it spins at a medium rate. It was the final boss of the Gradius II boss rush and is also part of the Gradius III boss rush. It was also featured as one of the junked cores in Gradius Gaiden stage 2.

Attack Patterns

Covered Core MK I has a very simple attack pattern. Besides the rotating shield, it shoots missiles 8 red,dark green and gold that randomly fall down and come up around you in Gradius II and III, 5 Blue and white missiles in Gradius II:Gofer No Yabo and 6 Dark green,Light Green and Red homing downwards in Gradius Gaiden. The missiles are indestructible but move slow. Careful weaving will ensure success against this attack.

Appearances

Covered Core Core is also a Yu-Gi-Oh! card and makes a cameo in Yu-Gi-Oh GX Episode 71.
