The Pig Battleship (unofficial name) is the sixth boss from Rocket Knight Adventures.
Details[]
This boss appears as a large battleship and is fought in the sixth stage, Outer Space. it will initially appear behind the player, moving around the screen while its turrets shoot at the player. After a while it will begin teleporting, eventually appearing on the right of the screen with its orientation changed. It will then stop and open the hatch at the bottom, sending enemies after the player.
Once the hatch door is destroyed the boss will expose a weak point on the jaw, moving up and down on the right and stopping to either ram the player or fire from its mouth. Once the jaw is destroyed another weak point will reveal on its neck, so the boss will detach the head and attempt to level with the player before reattaching it again.
With the main body of the battleship destroyed the head transforms into a large mecha. It initially jumps on the right while shooting spread shots, after which it shoots a homing shot which stops and moves in the player's direction three times. The boss will then extend its arms and bounce a ball between the two, this is its weak point. Once the player hits it the boss begins jumping around the screen while shaking violently, this can be avoided by simply staying on the top left corner. It will then resume its pattern and repeat it until it is destroyed.

Trivia[]
- A glitch can occur during the time the jaw needs to be destroyed. If the jaw is destroyed at just the right frame before it opens up to fire, the explosion will cancel and the mouthpiece will remained in a glitched coloring and not be destroyed. Any single hit will destroy the glitched mouthpiece and retain the battle as normal.
