DJ Boy (US, set 2)

Mastering DJ Boy (US, set 2) is easy to learn but hard to perfect, so follow these tips to beat every level without wasting all your extra lives.

For boss fights, save your special spin attacks for when they summon supporting minions, clearing the small enemies first before focusing all your att
