Overview

Specific Rim, unlike the previous stages, takes places on floating islands. The environment takes on an Ancient Greek theme; with pillars and other structures inspired by the era. The grounds area features a long colosseum, a town area with gardens, and a corridor with moving pillars laden with spike traps. During the first boss fight, the player is put on an elevator that takes them to a helipad. The rest of the fight takes place on a large floating island.

This level has the most enemies out of all the other stages. The returning enemies are Beheaded Bombers, Beheaded Firecrackers, Beheaded Kamikazes, Beheaded Rocketeers, Cucurbitos, and Minor Bio-mechanoids. The Knight also makes its first and only appearance in this level.

The boss of this environment is Ugh Zan - after defeating him, the player will have to defeat him again in his second form: the Ugh-Zan Tank.

Gameplay

This environment has much more traps than in the previous levels. There are spiked pillars that move around the area in a fixed pattern, which will damage the player when touched. Like Molty Python, there are also weapons that can be interacted with and used against enemies, such as the ballista that fires powerful arrows when activated with the hammer. Another trap, the saw, returns from A King's Tail which occasionally appear.

Like other levels, the player is able to use a vehicle, this time being a helicopter. It is the only vehicle event that is always activated, as it is used in the boss battle. After defeating Ugh-Zan for the first time, the player is forced out of their helicopter and enters a large colosseum, where they will have to duel the Ugh-Zan Tank.

Trivia

• The name of this level is a direct reference to Pacific Rim. The word "specific" refers to a humorous question posted by a user on Quora, asking "How big is the specific ocean?". Another user jokingly replies "Can you be more pacific?".
