In this mode, their bodies extend and reveal tiny robots inside of them, a segment will begin, where they try to shoot their tiny robots at Ulala, who will need to memorize and copy the directions given by the robots to protect herself.

Trivia

• There are four variations on the lyrics for this boss fight. These variation depend on two factors: one, if the player successfully rescued anyone in the section prior; and two, if the player made at least one mistake during any point of the boss battle.
  • On the mistake path, the lyrical change will begin at the second verse.
  • In the English version, if the player failed to rescue anyone, there won't be any caption for the lyrics during the battle.
• Oddly, the Space Channel 5 Part 2 Sugoku Sugoi Guide Book, mentions there being a different set of commands for the extra mode version of this boss fight; however, no such change occurs in game.
• Kin, Kon and Kan are the only boss in the game to not use the "Hey" command. Consequently, their "Hey" animation is never seen.
• Kin, Kon and Kan bear a resemblance to the Android's mascot, the Bugdroid, a character that was created six years after the game.
