2. Astroboy's Special Attacks
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collect blue-core orbs throughout the game to get special attacks. The more
orbs you collect, the more attacks you will get, in order from one to six
below.
1) Jet up: This makes you fly faster.
2) Power up: This will give you extra power for a single attack.
3) Arm cannon: This gives Astroboy the ability to shoot a blue laser from his
arm - one time.
4) Machine Guns: Astroboy can shoot a machine gun from his back - one time.
5) Shield: This will block enemy fire/attacks - usually 2 hits.
6) Rescuer: This gives Astroboy full health. Using this special attack will
use up all of your other special attacks as well.
First choose Easy, Hard, or Extreme for your game mode.
1-1 Metrocity
You will be walking in this level. When you see a red lock, that means
that you cannot go any further until you defeat enemies. And a green lock means
that you can continue to move ahead. There are many locks in this level.
There will be three kinds of enemies. The first enemy is a robot with machine
guns. This one is easy to defeat. You only need to punch him once. The second
enemy is a robot that will punch you. This robot must be punched five times to
defeat it. The third enemy is a yellow circle with spikes that floats in the
air. Fly through the yellow circle to avoid getting hurt. This enemy is not in
a red lock, so you don't need to defeat this one to move ahead.
Once you defeat this level, the word clear will appear and Astroboy will fly
up and forward.
1-2 Metrocity
You will be flying in this level. You defeat all the enemies in this part,
by shooting your blue laser at them. The first enemy a bunch of robots with
machine guns - some at the top of the screen and some at the bottom. The next
enemy is a ship that shoots many machine guns at you in the middle of the
screen. If you don't destroy it in time, then it flies away. The next enemy is
a robot that shoots a machine gun, but is different than the first enemy. The
next enemy is a yellow circle with spikes. This one is difficult to destroy
with your blue laser, so don't worry about it if it flies away before you can
destroy it.
1-3
This level is the plane boss. See my section 4 (Bosses) for how to battle
this boss.
2-1 Junkyard
You will be mostly walking in this level. Also there will be platforms that
take you up. On the first platform, don't walk straight off of it, or you will
fall onto spikes and lose health. For the other platforms you will need to fly
to get on them. The first enemy tries to bang his head against you to hurt you.
If you punch him a few times, he will be defeated. The next enemy has a machine
gun, similar to the previous levels. Again, it can be defeated with punches.
The next enemy is a robot dog. He can be defeated by punches too.
2-2 Underground Lake
You will be flying in this level. This level is not that difficult to defeat,
except for the yellow spiked circle. The first enemy is a red spiked circle
that floats in the air. Three hits with the blue laser will destroy it. Next
will be a yellow spiked circle. This one is a little difficult to defeat, and
isn't really necessary, so I just move past it and continue on. Next will be a
flying robot dog. Use your blue laser to defeat it.
2-3
This level is the Tractor boys boss. See my section 4 (Bosses) for how to
battle this boss.
3-1 Junkyard
You first run into spikes and red lasers. When there is a pause in the laser
fire, then you can move forward. The first enemy is the one that tries to bang
his head against you. If you punch him a few times, he will be defeated. The
next enemy is a robot dog. He can be defeated by punches too. The next enemy
has a machine gun, similar to the previous levels. Again, it can be defeated
with punches. Once you get to the platforms don't continue straight ahead -
instead go up 3 or 4 platforms until you reach another spot of red lasers.
Then there will be a red lock and you will have to fight one more enemy - a
robot with a gun. Defeat it with punches. Finally, you should walk past Zog
and then you have finished the level.
3-2 Robot games arena
This level is just battling a couple of bosses. They are the boss with spikes,
and the little dipper boss. See my section 4 (Bosses) for how to battle theses
bosses.
3-3 Robot games arena
This level is the Hamegg boss. See my section 4 (Bosses) for how to battle
this boss.
4-1 Mystery of science
This level is one of the more difficult ones. Its difficult because there are
multiple red and green machine guns shooting at you. The first enemy will be a
green machine gun. Punch it one time to defeat it. The next enemy is a red
machine gun. Punch it one time to defeat it. The third enemy is a robot that
will punch you. This robot must be punched five times to defeat it. The next
enemy is a robot with a round head. Punch it four times to defeat it.
4-2 Mystery of science
You will find the yellow spiked circle and red spiked circle in this level.
There is also a big ship enemy that shoots many machine guns at you. Shoot
your blue laser to defeat it. The next enemy is the flying robot dog, and
again you can defeat him with your blue laser. The next is a small ship that
shoots one machine gun at you. Again, use your blue laser on it.
4-3 Mystery of science
This level is the Peacekeeper boss (first one). See my section 4 (Bosses) for
how to battle this boss.
5-1 Metro city suffers
This level is hard to defeat. The yellow spiked circle, red spike circle, and
flying robot dog are in this level as well. As usual, use the blue laser to
defeat them. Also in this level is the big flying ship that shoots machine
guns. If you don't defeat this with your blue laser quickly enough, it will
just fly away. The last enemy is the small ship that shoots one machine gun at
you.
5-2 Metro city suffers
This level is the Peacekeeper boss (second, bigger one). See my section 4
(Bosses) for how to battle this boss.
5-3 Metro city suffers
This level is difficult to defeat. The first enemy is a yellow spiked circle.
Use your blue laser to defeat it. The next enemy is a red spiked circle.
Use your blue laser to defeat it. The next enemy is a big ship that shoots many
machine guns at you. Use your blue laser to defeat it. The next enemy is a
small ship that shots one machine at you at a time. Use your blue laser to
defeat every single one.
5-4 Metro city suffers
This level is the Peacekeeper Boss (third, biggest one). See my section 4
(Bosses) for how to battle this boss.
Plane boss:
He first shoots missiles at you. Move left or right to avoid the missiles.
Then he shoots an orange laser at you. Dodge the laser to avoid damage.
To damage the plane boss, you must wait until he moves to the right side
of the screen. Punch him a few times. After a few punches he will shoot an
orange energy blast at you. Walk on to the platform to dodge his blast.
Next he will appear from the top of the screen and drop missiles at you. Avoid
these missiles by going under the platform. This cycle of punching him at the
right side and then avoiding attacks from the right and the top will continue
until he is defeated.
Tractor Boys boss:
The green tractor does not attack until you defeat the orange tractor first.
The orange tractor attacks by throwing bombs. Move towards him to avoid the
bombs. Punch the boss and he will go away. The boss will then send a claw up
through the ground. Avoid the claw. Next he will drop an item from the top
of the screen. Move away from the item to avoid it. This cycle will continue
until you have done enough damage from punching to defeat the boss. Then the
orange boss will fly away.
The green boss will then appear from the right of the screen. He only has one
attack - which is to try and hit you with his claw. Hit him with punches until
he is defeated and leaves the screen.
Boss with spikes:
For the first attack, he puts his spike hand on the ground and moves forward.
For the second attack he puts both spike hands on the ground and moves
forward toward you. The easiest way to defeat this boss is by using your blue
laser. Another good attack is to fly in the air and punch the boss. Keep doing
this until he is defeated, and then he explodes.
Little dippers boss:
This boss splits into two dangerous robots. When a white blast comes out of
the boss, that is the best time to attack by punching. The attack from the
first little dipper is machine guns. He will shoot the gun at you wherever
you are. When this happens you can fly over to him and punch him. Also use your
blue laser to blast the little dipper, and defeat him. The attach from the
second little dipper is spinning and trying to hit you with his spike hands.
Next he will spin in the air and try to land on you. You can defeat the second
little dipper, the same way that you did the first - plus you can use your
machine guns on him. When both dippers are defeated, they will explode.
Hamegg boss:
This boss will be standing on a machine at first. He throws many bombs at you
for his attack. Just dodge these bombs. Once he is done with the bombs, next
will be a yellow laser that you must avoid. Next, he will shoot a blue energy
blast. Punch him while he is on the platform in order to inflict damage, and
ultimately defeat him. You can also use Astroboy's machine guns in order to
inflict more damage to the boss.
Peacekeeper Boss (first one):
This boss' first attack is a red core energy blast that you must avoid. The
second attack is hitting you with his elbows, so don't get too close to him.
Next he will shoot a blue energy blast upwards and there will be a circle to
indicate where the blast will land. Inflict damage to this boss by punching
him in the center circle on his chest, or using your blue laser on him. Keep
doing this until he is defeated. Then he will walk away, with his body smoking.
Peacekeeper boss (second, bigger one):
This boss is very hard to defeat. His first attack fires a machine gun from his
chest. His second attack is punching. His third attack is to slide-punch you.
When he flies back, this is a good time to punch him and do damage (remember,
you must punch him in the center circle on his chest).
Use your special weapons to defeat this boss more quickly. He has a lot of
health, but if you use your laser and machine gun it will help to defeat him
more easily. Once he is defeated he will have a frown and be smoking badly.
Peacekeeper boss (third, biggest one):
This boss is also difficult to defeat. It has 200 health. He has three
different attacks, and you never know in what order they will come. The attacks
are red-core energy beams, punches from the left, and the plane boss shoots
a laser beam from the right. Avoid the red-core energy by flying in a circle
ahead of the red beams. For this boss, you need to be flying in order to
do damage and defeat him. You can shoot your blue laser at him when you are
flying. You can also use other special attacks like power-up, and your machine
gun to do damage. Once you have defeated this boss, Astroboy will fly into the
giant peacekeeper's stomach and Astroboy will die. This is the end of the game.
Nothing important happens after this point. Zog just brings Astroboy back to
life.
Good luck!
