** During the Kineticlops section of the Atomic Island level, leave one of the cooling towers near the start of the level for last. When the countdown begins, run to the set of pipes running along the ground and grab one of the tanker trucks. When the island explodes, and the boss fight with Vegon begins, you will still be carrying the tanker truck. If you throw it into one of Vegon's mouths, it will instakill the head, meaning you only have to fight two.

* TaserTagWeakness: Even giant monsters are vulnerable to a high-voltage shock.
** Kineticlops' electrifying ranged special is particularly devastating when it hits, quickly damaging caught enemies while suspended mid-air before throwing them for additional damage.
** Any monster can taste this power with rooftop generators that can be picked up as weapons, which can be thrown to have the same effect as the above-described special attack. Alternatively, one can first use their projectile button while holding it to stun and damage an opponent with a taser-like attack.
** There are indestructible power lines on Atomic Island and Capitol that have a similar electric stun+damage effect when walked into.

%%* LivingLava: Magmo.

to:

%%* * LivingLava: Magmo.Magmo is a vaguely humanoid mass of lava that achieved sentience when an alien spaceship crashed into a volcano and spilled its mutagenic fuel into the magma. His various skins depict the lava in his body in different states. The first one gives him a mostly rocky outer hide with lava showing through the cracks, the second has him in a mostly liquid state, and the fourth skin has Magmo almost completely liquid and ''on fire''.
