Adobarudo Statistics

Adobarudo (Adobarudo NEO in R-type Final 2) is a mini-boss that appears in the first stage of R-Type Delta, and its remake in R-Type Final 2. It's a compact Bydo controlled warship that was either stolen from the humans or created by the Bydo.

In R-Type Delta

Adobarudo

Adobarudo

Upon reaching the second petrol station in Stage 1: Lethal Weapon, the player will be ambushed from the upper left of the screen by Adobarudo, which is festooned with several cannons resembling the Green Inferno's Standard Gun Towers. If not destroyed quickly, these cannons will rapidly flood the battlefield with Bydo Shots. If not destroyed at all, or the player takes too long to neutralise them, the battleship will turn its body sideways and proceed to unleash a devastating beam directly at the player.

Advardo NEO

Advardo NEO

Adobarudo, first known as Adobarudo NEO, before being localised to Advardo NEO, appears as its predecessor did in Stage X3.0 of Final 2, only this time with a short office building to anticipate its approach. Unlike the original form, Advardo NEO lacks Wave Cannon capabiilities, instead having a dedicated laser stream turret (between two rapid-fire machine gun turrets) on its ventral and dorsal regions, that can all be destroyed, alongside another bullet turret on its rear.

While allowing the battleship to remain active after a certain period still causes the side to open and face the player, the turret within fires large balls of enery in a staccato rhythm, letting off a volley of 4 shots, before closing, and returning to its previous orientation. This pattern is repeated until the player either destroys it, or reaches the end of the rooftop section, whereupon it will retreat to the right.
