Metal Shark Player is the last maverick i need to beat but i cant seem to complete the alternate route through the level. Any good tips for completing his stage?

First of all, don't go after entering Wolfang's and Scaravich's stages or you will trigger the Nightmare Ice and Nightmare Block effects on Metal Shark's stage. Also, don't rush it, take your time with the enemies. If you want to go to the alternative route, get Jumper and Speedster to jump over the gap to the Capsule. Once you are in the Nightmare area, get under the compressor stumps with your Ride Armor, so the compressor stops going down. Attack and get under the stumps. And be patient.

If all you need is to get the armor, you can use scaravich's weapon to go through the hole, but you should have wolfang's weapon as well. Use the ice as a platform before dash-jumping into oblivion, then as soon as you see the platform, press enter, switch to scaravich's weapon, fire it, press start/enter to go into menu, get out, fire again, keep doing until you reach the platform.

The trick also works with the fire sword, plus u don't need to enter menu all the time and keep switching weapon(I think) you'll need to check on that one yourself. Not sure if you need to switch weapons before firing it again neither.

The trick works, flawlessly.
I do recommend you to get speedster, because the alternate route sort of requires it. Not mandatory. but it helps A LOT.
