If you're going for that bonus, I recommend killing Empress before the others, anyways, since Meowjima and the Support Cats can't fail the bonus.

Still, it's definitely possible to outmaneuver the grenades. Simple but effective dives (the area she throws at sort of takes your velocity into account, so you can time it based on that), timing a good double jump and dive, or bouncing off Empress herself.

The first half is good, but Empress' attacks are too difficult to evade. And not in the "you need to memorize the patterns" way, but in the "If she uses the grenades while the floor is electrified you just take damage" sort of way. And since one of the death wish stamps requires you to not get hit by any explosions, and most of her attacks just so happen to be explosions, it might as well be a no hit challenge. No hit challenge and attacks that force damage do not make an enjoyable experience when mixed.

Would've been nice to have a non-Death Wish version of any of the bosses here. But still, pretty neat!

Got you now!
