Sorry I hadn't noticed this for a couple weeks!
Alright, bad news is the save flash on your cart may have gone bad. This is a known issue with flash storage that affects all of it, though older Flash (where the cells were physically larger) tends to survive longer. The only solution I can offer is using a 3rd party memory pak, since even the first party ones (without mods) all have failed batteries by now.
These ones come highly recommended: https://stoneagegamer.com/forever-pak-64...do-64.html
As for the "hive queen" (king, as it turns out, and you're pretty right on the money there)... The "true" skedar is that weird slug thing you see poking out the back. The rest is a bio-suit they get around in. Anyway, to defeat it, you're right that the weird idol behind it is the key. See all those little bits radiating out like a fan. Aim for each of those bits. Each one you break off resets the boss' pattern, then you send the boss's shield green again, so it crouches and prays at the alter again, then you break off another piece. The very center piece won't be vulnerable until the rest are gone, and THAT one will kill the boss.
Yes, there's four total secret levels. One's an old fashioned western shootout, so not really a full level. The other are... unique ways to reuse previous levels.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
