Strategy
Strategy 1
Lineup: Eraser Cat, Crazed Wall Cat, Seafarer Cat, Awakened Bahamut, fill the remaining slot with a unit of your choice. In Chapter 2, you will need a Barrier Breaker which suits this remaining slot perfectly.
This stage stays easy throughout the sub-chapters, for Chapter 1, all you need is to send out Awakened Bahamut when you can. For Chapter 2, the only major difference is the UltraBaaBaas, so bring a reliable Barrier Breaker (Kendo Cat works great). For Chapter 3, stack a few Seafarers at the start and the Mesocosmocyclone should stay frozen until it dies.

Strategy
Chapter 1
Strategy 1
Lineup: Tiny Ancient Hunt, Brave Cutter, Richest Cat, Eraser Cat, Manic Eraser Cat, Shigong Cat, Cadaver BearCat 50, Housewife Cat 50.
Cannon: Holy Blast 23
Housewife should be able to handle both the Heavenly Hippoe and the Scissoroo with proper meatshielding. The second Housewife should take care of them both before the second Scissoroo spawns in. When your Cats hit the base, use the Holy Blast immediately to unburrow the Zuche and take it out with Cadaver BearCat instantly. If you don't have Cadaver BearCat, then most other Zombie Killers should be able to eliminate it as long as they are in the front when the front lines hit the base. With Zuche gone, Housewife and other generalist Area Attackers should be enough to defeat the other enemies here with proper meatshielding.
Strategy 2
Lineup: Biohazard + Bony Bone, a Defense Up combo of your choice, Ramen 40, Shigong 40, Zamboney 40, Seafarer 40, and Housewife 40.
Cannon: Regular
Battle: First, send out a Zamboney at 720¢, then upgrade your Wallet to Lv.3 and Zamboney will be there to stop the Heavenly Hippoe and make Znache burrow. By the time the Zamboney dies, there should be a Gabriel and Heavenly Hippoe out and the Znache should be underground. When you have 2,800¢, send out a single Ramen Cat and that Ramen will stall for a while. When you have 4,800¢, spam everything in the second row, except for Zamboney. If one or both of the Scissoroos start to attack your base, time your Cannon and your Zamboney so that it will be in the Scissoroo(s)'s range by the time the Scissoroo(s) land on the ground. If not, save the Zamboney for later. Eventually, the second Scissoroo will approach your cats but by this time you will most likely already have 2 Seafarers and 2 Housewifes out on the field. They, along with Shigong and Ramen, will take care of the two Scissoroos.
Eventually, both Scissoroos will die and when they do, stop spawning anything and upgrade your wallet to Lv.5. By this time, there should be 3 Housewifes and Seafarers on the field. Eventually, your Housewifes will reach the base first and trigger the boss wave. The Housewifes will kill the Mistress Celeboodle and the Seafarers will deal a good amount of damage to all enemies. Some Zombies may burrow underneath your stack but that's okay. When the first Zombie emerges from the ground, concentrate on spamming Ramen, Shigong, Seafarer, and Housewife again. If Zamboney is available, use it. Eventually, your army will deal with the Zombies, will move on to the enemy base, and destroy it.
Trivia
- In real life, Betelgeuse is the 9th-brightest star in the night sky and the second-brightest star in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the largest and most luminous stars visible to the naked eye.
- The presence of a complex city on Betelgeuse may be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where characters Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox come from a solar system named Betelgeuse.
