==Upgrade Strategy==
Because the underground layout (including the obstacles you need to pass to reach the treasures) is randomized, there may not be a single optimal strategy. However, there are some general suggestions:

* Your first priority should be to buy at least one extra bomb and missile, or you'll miss many of the treasures in the second stage. 
* Buy the ice beam before the third stage, if possible.
* The energy capacity upgrade is important for the final stage, but with good strategy you probably will not need it before that.
* It's probably not worthwhile to upgrade beyond four bombs (which are enough to kill one meteoid).
* Prior to the final stage, you won't need more than 4 missiles. On the final stage, even the maximum capacity of 5 might not be enough to find the Matriarch without running out of ammunition. Make sure you max out. 

==Notes==
*Bomb and Missile Capacity can each be upgraded to a maximum of 5.  The cost of increasing Bomb Capacity by 1 begins at 50, and is subsequently 100, 250, and 500 Credcrystals for each new purchase.  The cost of increasing Missile Capacity by 1 is 100, 250, 500, and 1000 Credcrystals for each new purchase.
*It costs 1000 Credcrystals for the first Energy Capacity upgrade, and 1500, 2000 for the subsequent ones.  Each upgrade increases Energy Capacity by 50.
