An unconditional surrender by the Alliance is imminent..." So our job is to save the world. But before we roll on with the guide here is some helpful items part. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Items / Power Ups |-> <<#----------------------#>> Here there will be anything connected to items and power ups. There are in total four power ups and one item. _____________________________________ |Bomb Power Up \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ |Availability: All |Effect: +1 Bomb | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________________________ |Range Power Up \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ |Availability: All |Effect: +1 Range for Bombs | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________________________ |Shield Power Up \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ |Availability: Episodes 2 & 3 |Effect: +1 Life | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________________________ |Boots Power Up \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ |Availability: All |Effect: +33% Speed | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________________________ |Key \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ |Availability: All but Final Battle |Effect: Unlocks Next Level | |_____________________________________________________________________________| <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode I - Level 1 |-> <<#----------------------#>> In this room you will see two robots which are about the same speed as you. You have two to three lives, be very careful with them. I advise you if you loose one to be vigilant since you will need them later on in the game. You have to lay the bombs so they don't hit you. After you lay one, which is the maximum you can lay, move out of the way so you don't get hit and loose a life. You have to kill the robots by laying bombs with timing so the robots are within range when the bomb blasts. At all cases do not stand on top or next to the bomb when it blast. There will be walls which block you from moving further onwards which must be blasted. You will need to find the key which will be underneath of on the walls, and most likely that there are two powers ups. They are random, and will be destroyed if bombed at. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode I - Level 2 |-> <<#----------------------#>> There are more robots in this room, about 4 and the room is much bigger. Just do what you did on Level 1 do get past this with ease. But remember to get your two power ups. Then defeat the robots and go onto the next level. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode I - Level 3 |-> <<#----------------------#>> Now you are on your first boss level, which is the last past of episode one. It is one fast stronger robot that lasts three bombs before dieing. He is faster and has more bombs and range than you. It is a guard robot. Your best bet would be to get him trapped between three bombs or two bombs and a wall. But be vigilant he is smarter than the other robots you have fought before now. Defeat him by getting him trapped three times, and he will die and you can sail on to the next level. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode II - Level 1 |-> <<#----------------------#>> Now you will be faced by more robots but faster this time, but not the guard robot which you fought in level 3 part of episode one. There are flying robots here which you have not fought yet. They are the same speed as the others in this level, and can fly above anything so they can get you wherever you are. The only thing they can't fly over is a bomb. My advice is killing the robots before you go searching for the key and power ups. One of the power ups you should have gotten by now are extra bombs or extra speed, which will play its part here. If you use them towards your advantage you will be able to defeat the robots very easily. Just be careful not to die and you are in luck. You will sail through this level with very few snags. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode II - Level 2 |-> <<#----------------------#>> This is the same as level on of this episode but with the robots being a bit more faster and more of them. This is where you are very likely to die. Be very careful and if you die, die until you loose all your lives then press continue and you will be allowed to continue with everything you have when you went onto this level. They is no way of gaining lost life apart from the way I have told you. Do the same as level one of this episode and you will be on safe ground. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode II - Level 3 |-> <<#----------------------#>> Now there are 2 guard bots which are more intelligent than the one you defeated before and are faster and have more bombs. Be very careful, this is easy if you learn to trap them. But when trapping one don't get your self trapped by the other. It is easy if you follow my advice and you will get through simply. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode III - Level 1|-> <<#----------------------#>> This is your final robots level, after this it will be boss battles. This is the hardest and faster level you have ever come across in this game. You have to use your speed and power ups you have gained to your advantage. You should have gained at least 6 power ups by now. This will be your last chance to earn any more. Be careful when laying bombs since the speed of the robots can surprise you. And try and kill a pack by laying bombs around ways out for the robots, don't get caught by them or in your bombs. This is the most crucial level towards you being able to finish the game or not. Do not under any circumstance think it is alright to die at least once here, but if you die, die until you loose all your lives and shields then press continue and you will be allowed to continue with everything you have when you went onto this level. Now you should cruise through the level, but be cautious. <<#----------------------#>> <-| Episode III - Level 2|-> <<#----------------------#>> You have reached the final guard robots, there are 3 this time and they much smarter and work together. They have speed bombs and last longer than before. Do not loose any lives, but be vigilant and try and kill them before they kill you. You are very close to the end, try to keep your shield power ups. You will loose one every time you get hit. When you kill them go through to the next round, to what may be called your DOOM! <<#----------------------#>> <-| Final Battle |-> <<#----------------------#>> You are up against the commander which will be stopping you from stopping the device. You must destroy him, he is only one but has the strength and speed of 5 guard robots. And is very intelligent and will trap you when you trap him. He has 5 lives and has much more bombs and range than you. You are in the biggest room of the game, be careful. You may now see why I told you not to waste any lives or shields, since he will pulverise you if you are without them. It will take your three or more continues before you kill him. But when you have, I won't tell you what happens, you have to see it yourself. <<#----------------------#>> <-|###### THE END ######|-> <<#----------------------#>> /--------------------------\ <-MAJOR ENDING SPOILER BELOW-> \--------------------------/ Now if you continue and defeated the game fully with 3 lives then you will be able to do the whole game again with all the power ups and gain more. Therefore it is easy mode. I only found out this after defeating the game 5 times, and on the 5th time I did it with full lives. /---------------------------\ <-END OF MAJOR ENDING SPOILER-> \---------------------------/ /-=======================-\ =-| [5] C R E D I T [CRA13] |-================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to the following: CJayC - For putting up the guide, and you're the person who got me into this hobby by creating GameFAQs and making it FREE ASCII Generator (http://www.network-science.de/ascii/) - For the excellent ASCII omg the faq page (http://losmonos.netfirms.com/faqs/) - For the excellent table creation program and centring If you have helped me and are not on the list please contact me and I will add you, I am extremely sorry if this is the case, the reason is most likely that I have forgotten.
