Absolutely.
Which is why the safest way to go there is to use the body spin on the breakdancer, wait a tiny bit after you let him go and he fell and use it to finish him off.
He will be getting up and won't have the chance to go into his breakdance routine.
Then it is a matter to body fling the midget before the time runs out.

And now I am waiting for Red to drop that 100K score I won't be able to match because I have no idea how to deal with the breakdancers on stage 15.

The funny thing is that if the game didn't have those break dancers, it would be at least 50% easier.
But I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it so far. It is so silly and proved to be a pleasant surprise in the contest game list, at least for me.

Okay, I tried grabbing the breakdancer boss on stage 10 but instead I got hit with his rapid fire punches. What is the trick to this?

I use the manhole to measure my distance to him, move a bit left and right and jump up just as he is nearing it so he will start his rapid punches a few pixels shy of hitting me.
And that distance is enough to body spin him.

I watched the video again and I see what you're doing there with the manhole. I'll try this, thanks!

Without an exploit this fight is next to impossible. It's so aggravating reaching stage 10 with over 50k and then blowing it at the boss (as I did on my last run).

It is not easy to get it right every time, but with those stupid break dancers, it is always a matter of distance. With a reference point, you can jump just at the right distance to make them go on their punches without hitting you.
Then it is laying out the punishment.

Okay, I got your trick to work once to beat the boss. But unfortunately after using a continue.

Is there a way to consistently arm spin the breakdancer for a lot of damage without being hit out of it by the midget's projectiles? I really wish you got a better grab move on this stage.

The only way is to get him to spawn earlier like I did, by going to the right most part of the stage.
You need to arm spin him for at least 2 damage in order for you to kill it off with the body fling.
And believe me, I too would love to have a better grab move on this stage.

Well I have what is currently a 2nd place score, so I think I'm done. Just no time on the weekends. I look forward to it becoming a 6th place score

The row of green gun guys at the beginning of stage 13 is another one of the hardest parts of the game. Attack them and get hit by bullets that you can't duck. Try to jump over them and they kick you.

I don't believe it, but it really happened. Near 104K score incoming. Reached the final level but did not beat it, even with continues. I did see the final boss (I think) on my very last life.

I fully expect Bea to not rest until she beats this score.  

Also I'm gonna get my power glove set up and see what that's like sometime this week.

Gonna post this picture and then go to sleep!
