These tricks also work on Hard Mode.

-Anytime Boost Guardian is in Boost Ball mode, if you can hit him with a bomb, he will immediately revert to his vulnerable "red puddle" form. Since there's so little of him to hit, however, you either have to get dangerously close or have excellent timing, as only the "bomb jump" point of the blast will count.

-If Boost Guardian rams into one of the four pillars in the room, he will destroy it, reverting to the red puddle and leaving behind an Ultra Energy pickup.

-in Boost Mode, the guardian tends to travel in complete triangular paths. Knowing this, you can get a good sense of where to be in order to not get rammed.

-Charged Light Shots are faster and ultimately more effective than Super Missiles, especially in Hard Mode.

-If you want to get a Logbook Scan, wait until you've killed him. When he begins his death animation you'll have just enough time to get a complete scan.

−	Kinda useful trick submitted by Edward Tohr, but discovered by his friend: Any time the Boost Guardian is in his ~~non-red~~ puddle mode, you can still hit him. This ~~could lessen~~ the number of times he goes into boost mode, which ~~can make things~~ a ~~lot easier~~.	+	Kinda useful trick submitted by Edward Tohr, but discovered by his friend: Any time the Boost Guardian is in his Solid form puddle mode (Black puddle), you can still hit him. This may be able to reduce the number of times he goes into boost mode, which is always a good thing.
