Fun game, but boss rush is ridiculous. I spent an hour and a half getting every heart + spiral... I feel like I should be able to use them in boss rush somehow. Credits should also be skippable, I don't need to see every enemy in the game...

Somehow managed to get into a cave place with cave snail and another snail and I can't get out. I got in from the ceiling which i can't reach now, going right leads me to a room I can't leave through and going left leads me to the beginning of the fire rooms and I lack the firepower to leave through either way.

After several hours and much frustration I loaded up the map from the game developer. I went through inch by inch, carefully marking my progress, got everything I can, and still can't break through the gray/green doors to get to the fourth area. That Iris thing says 25 shells aren't enough, but there literally aren't any more to get according to the official game map. So.. broken game or what?

Giga Snail: Ironically, this form is a lot easier. There's no strategy I can offer other than how you defeated the boss in the actual game mode, but I can give one tip. When the boss starts using rainbow wave, use gravity change to the wall OPPOSITE to the wall the boss is in. Since the boss can't hit to the ceiling, you can easily get free hits.
+1 if you find this helpful!

Time Cube: Switch your weapon to Boomerang before the fight. Boomerang is not only capable of going through the small spaces, but also deal high damage against large bosses due to its rapid hit damage during travel and return trips. Boomerang will not only destroy the cloned blocks in no time, but also rip through the boss' HP so quickly from the inside of the stone shield that it won't even be able to attack the player in its blue phase. Also, use gravity for vertical movement only. DO NOT ever use the side walls. (Note: Using Boomerangs will allow you to defeat the boss about 3 times much faster.)
Sun Snail: This is the hardest of all. Switch back to Rainbow Wave. Refrain from using gravity change. You'll have to move around frequently, since the boss tends to teleport ONTO you occasionally. Your weapon spamming will usually block the boss' wave attacks, so mostly watch out for his triple color shot that homes on you.

BOSS RUSH GUIDE:
Shell Breaker: Stand on the upper left corner and the boss' shield won't ever hit you. After that, simply spam Rainbow Wave diagonally downward to kill the boss easily.
Stompers: At the start of the match, jump over 1 or 2 incoming mines. Then, spam Rainbow Wave towards the eyes, alternating directions rapidly. That tactic will not only help damage the boss faster, but also wipe out the turrets a lot faster. When the Stompers starts stomping rapidly while moving in one direction, just keep moving at regular speed while shooting your weapon diagonally upward in the direction you're going. Make sure that you're always between the two eyes at ALL TIMES and you'll be able to kill the boss even faster than the Shell Breaker. Do NOT focus on the turrets; as I mentioned before, they'll be destroyed while you're hitting the eyes.

Behold the majestic and mighty SNAIL. Despite being preyed upon by a wide range of species, the SNAIL can not only fire off a variety of weapons to defend itself but also can thrive in almost any environment.
If it were not for the slow movement of the SNAIL, they would have become the dominant species long ago. Using Helix Fragments as power, a SNAIL could change it's biological composition and become nigh invincible to natural hazards.
