Enemy collision types
Each enemy has various properties that determine how they react to collisions.
Collision types
- None: This enemy cannot collide with the player.
- Weak: By far the most common collision type, the player will damage the enemy during collision. Only enemies of this type can be spin killed.
- Invincible: Enemies of this type take no damage from a collision, but might still be damaged by weapons.
- Deadly: Enemies of this type destroy the player on collision.

Deeply Dungeon |
Low
|
Tiny octopodes that behave identically to the fish enemies in Deeply Dungeon.
Spinkill strategy: On loop 2, it's too easy to get shot in the face, and it's only worth 50 points. This is on top of being massively out of position.

Outcast Castle, Deeply Dungeon |
Medium
|
Floating zombies that are sturdier than others. Weak attacks, but they can swarm the screen and trap you.
Spinkill strategy: They can randomly shoot you at close range, ruining a score run over 200 points. Not worth it.

A giant reptilian head that will suck you in and chomp you. Boosting past on non-score runs works. Their awarded score is significant and they are extremely sturdy, so some characters may need to bomb this section.

Deeply Dungeon, Cold Corridor |
Low
|
Caged giants worth a lot of points. They take a long time to explode and award their points, so for Cold Corridor (which scrolls much faster than Deeply Dungeon) score runs you may need a bomb to kill both of them before they scroll off the screen and award nothing.

Beholders that fire a fast and expansive ring pattern.
Spinkill strategy: If you're going to try for the extra 300 points, wait until all the bullets are gone; they won't fire twice. However, this makes it harder to win the race, and you potentially lose out on 5000 or more points from losing the race.

Cold Corridor |
Very low
|
Strong falling boulders native to Cold Corridor that only exist to bump you into bullets or obstacles. Different from the weak boulders in Kobold Tower.
Spinkill strategy: It's usually quite safe to bump into boulders. Actually destroying them with only spin damage is the problem as they are relatively tough. Shooting them once and finishing them off with spin damage is sometimes better.

Ice golems that shoot an extremely fast beam of aimed shots. They can't aim behind themselves at all.
Spinkill strategy: Usually just get in their face and spinkill them instantly before they get to use the dangerous ice beam.

Cold Corridor |
Medium
|
A giant bug that spits up the boulders from the Cold Corridor. Each boulder is worth as many points as a normal boulder. Eventually, they will also fire a concerning 5-way bullet pattern.
Spinkill strategy: It's much better to wait for them to shoot boulders and to then try to spinkill those. You won't ever really have the opportunity to spinkill them if you focus on the much more lucrative boulders.

Spinkill strategy: You can spinkill all of them if you get stuck in their "stream" pattern up against the left wall.
