How to beat Dr. Cortex

Guides

You will encounter Doctor Cortex, who is the final boss in the game when you reach 'The Past Unmasked' level. Doctor Cortex is a mad scientist who wants to rule the world because of the ridicule he suffered in his past. 

In the battle, Doctor Cortex will take away the four masks you have and use them for himself. To defeat him, the fight can be broken down into four stages: 

Stage 1 

When the battle begins, you will need to bounce three times on each of the Shoot-O-Matics in order to destroy them. At the same time, you will be facing falling platforms and a big yellow ring attacking you. 

Stage 2 

Doctor Cortex will start using Lani-Loli, so you will need to jump over the phasing platforms to destroy the Shoot-O-Matics, then spin the assistant again. Doctor Cortex will turn to his Annihilaser. To avoid getting hit, you will need to duck under the beam. Next, you will face the Ika-Ika, but you will need to dodge the lasers while upside-down and again jump on the Shoot-O-Matics to destroy and spin the assistant.

Stage 3

Doctor Cortex will use the Kapuna-Wa. The platforms will start disappearing, so begin sprinting to stay on the platforms that aren't disappearing. Time will begin to slow down, so you will need to focus on bouncing on the Shoot-O-Matic that is on the furthest left side when it appears jump into the bottom-left corner. Then stay there until the cycle comes back around, then begin to run to the top-right turret and jump on it. Then jump over the assistant and spin him.  

Stage 4 

Lastly, Doctor Cortex will use the final mask, Ákano. You will need to dodge the lasers and jump on all four of the Shoot-O-Matics. Remember that the fewer turrets there are, the fewer ground-based energy attacks you will have to face. Once you have destroyed the final Shoot-O-Matic, you will then need to defeat the four assistants while avoiding the lasers. Once you have defeated the final assistant, you will have completed It's About Time.
