Jupiter will kick your ass. I warn you. They throw two old sub-bosses at you and annoying slabs of metal like the ones in Xevious, but they can be destroyed. There are several chances for the cheap death- the death of bad level design. I barely made it to the end of the stage, where they tell me some Bio Strong dude approaches fast. And?
Awww...ain't he such a beautiful baby?
Tips: For a final boss - and one like him - Bio Strong only throws two fricking attacks at you! Can you believe it? Granted, he makes them count, but...if he was a cheap boss with two attacks, I may have been mollified. But not here.
When you first enter the screen, there are lots of embryos floating around the screen, all destructible. One of them will flash yellow, and that marks Bio Strong, arr! After a while, some of the embryos will suddenly enlarge and fly towards you. Watch out. One will grow to full 'size'. You know what you doing now. Eventually he shrinks back. Several embryos now split into five and charge you. Several often do this at a time, so be careful. And then the enlarging embryos charge towards you again and Bio Strong comes into view again. Lather, rinse, repeat. When he's shrunk and if you've hit him enough, Bio Strong will be a darker red even when shrunk. If you can weather the five-embryo arc, he dies in a welter of exploding body parts to put the Nuremberg Files to shame:
And when it's all over, you get this:
Praise them with great praise. Or whatever.
You're actually quite lucky you don't get to see Proco, Jr.'s face. He looks like some generic bronzed bloke from an 80s TV serial. And Tiat looks like Cher. OK, maybe not.

Real-Life Inspiration:An embryo! Go figure. It sounds 'nicer' than f(o)etus, even though the latter may be more technically accurate. You have to love "Storaged" by System of a Down, though!
