Welcome to another FAQ of mine. This one covers the GameBoy game Spider-Man and
the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge. Quite a mouthful, eh? This game is another one
of your typical platformers centering around some of the most well-known Marvel
comic book characters ever created.
..
Yeah, I don't know much to say about this. But try to enjoy.

Section Four: Controls **SPIDEY_4**
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
~~ D-Pad : Move around; crawl up/down walls with Spider-Man (Up/Down);
crouch (down).
~~ A Button : Jump.
~~ B Button : Characters' special skills. *
~~ Start Button : Pause/unpause; start levels.
~~ Select Button: Switch characters before levels.
~~ L/R Buttons : These only have functions on the GBA SP and GameBoy Player
ways of playing the game. They will widen/narrow the screen,
respectively. Otherwise, N/A.
* - The characters each have different skills. Spider-Man will shoot webs, and
throw swinging webs when Up is also held. Wolverwine throws punches, and
breaks things when using Up as well. Gambit throws cards. Storm throws
missiles. Cyclops uses lasers.
Also note that A+B+Select+Start is a soft reset combination.

Section Five: Walkthrough **SPIDEY_5**
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
====================
Stage 1 - Spider-Man
====================
Go right and destroy the enemy, then go left and up the ledges, grabbing the
blinking pickup on the way. At the top, destroy the enemy, then drop off of
the right side of the building. Continue to the ground and grab the blinking
pickup to the right.
Go back up the ledges to the ledge you fell to and swing across. Grab the
nearby pickup, then go right. At the vertical space nearest the right wall,
begin climbing your way upward for a while. When you go up no more, go back to
the ground, grab the blinking pickup, and go back up. Grab the blinking icons
as your spidey-sense detects them in this upper area.
Then go back outside and climb to the top of the building to the left, then
swing across the gap, grabbing a blinking icon and a health pickup on the way.
Go right and down into the long hole, sticking along the left side for the
blinking pickups.
Climb back up and, at the second hallway, go along there and destroy the spider
at the end, then grab the lower, then upper, blinking pickups. Leave this hall
and go to the bottom of the vertical airspace you fell through.
Go left and jump along the ledges to destroy a spider and grab another pickup.
Then go into the hall below and grab that pickup. Go back to the vertical
airspace and simply go along, picking up the rest of the pickups until the
level ends; you'll be doing some back-and-forth along the hall before picking
up the one at the very end.
====================
Stage 2 - Spider-Man
====================
Quick note: they spelled "hadn't" as "had't" in the introductory sequence. =/
Note: For stages two through six, you are given a choice of which character to
use. The order is of your own choosing. This stage applies for when you
choose Spider-Man.
Climb up the wall to the left and destroy the nearby Donkey Kong-esque enemy,
then continue onto the level above. Go right and onto the metal platforms. On
the lower one, drop off of the right side and swing to the right. There, go to
the top of the building.
Go right for a bit and you'll reach a big vertical girder as it starts to rain.
Climb down the left side, go up the right, and continue to the right for a bit
more. Drop off of the right side of this ledge and you'll hit the building. Go
right and swing to another area.
Continue right to a building where a humanoid enemy ambushes you. Defeat him.
===================
Stage 3 - Wolverine
===================
Note: For stages two through six, you are given a choice of which character to
use. The order is of your own choosing. This stage applies for when you
choose Wolverine.
A linear level. Go along the path and destroy any enemy fool enough to ambush
you. Any wall that gets in the way can be destroyed with an Up + B combo.
Note that the big clowns are just background features; you'll be able to walk
past. But the bullets are "real" and will hurt.
And there is a boss enemy at the end. Punch it a few times, back off, and
repeat. Avoid touching it, for it will hurt you.
================
Stage 4 - Gambit
================
Note: For stages two through six, you are given a choice of which character to
use. The order is of your own choosing. This stage applies for when you
choose Gambit.
Uhh... Pretty much go right until the end of the level where the boss lies.
Along the way, you'll find a tall green wall. Hit it with your cards to destroy
it. Start at the lower platform, then destroy some wall, go to the middle one,
and work your way up.
You'll come across a second one later on. There, destroy the enemy above you,
then rain cards at the horse across the wall to prevent an annoyance. Then get
up next to the wall and use Up + B for a bit until the wall can be traversed.
===============
Stage 5 - Storm
===============
Note: For stages two through six, you are given a choice of which character to
use. The order is of your own choosing. This stage applies for when you
choose Storm.
Go right along the bottom level and destroy the two doors you come across with
your needle attack. Whenever you see an opening to go up, do so to restore your
air supply. Go around the level you can reach now and look for tanks -- there
are two in the lower-right corner. Smash them with needles to raise the water
level. Go to the bottom right corner and continue along the path.
You'll destroy a few more doors and a few more enemies along this path. Don't
worry excessively about damage until you hit about four units of health,
because staying at the water's surface heals you. Continue smashing the water
tanks on the way. Just continue this cycle until you reach the boss and needle
him to death. There's nothing special about this one.
=================
Stage 6 - Cyclops
=================
Note: For stages two through six, you are given a choice of which character to
use. The order is of your own choosing. This stage applies for when you
choose Cyclops.
Am I the only one reminded of MegaMan?
Anywho, go right and down a couple of platforms. Use Down + B to destroy the
enemy, then go right and up a few more. When there is an enemy on the platform
above, use Up + B, then continue on to the main ledge, but ONLY after that
spike falls down ... or you blast it into oblivion.
Go right, destroy another enemy, then continue on as before, destroying the
spike when it appears. On the next ledge, destroy another enemy. Eventually, a
mine cart will pass by. What ensues is a little like that bit from Donkey Kong
Country, and also like one minigame from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
So, yeah, mine cart. You'll come across some glittering stones as you ride the
electrified floor. Use the jump button to go over those stones or you'll end up
dying. Or, if you find that to be extremely unreliable, just hit them with some
lasers!
At the end, when the cart stops, jump to the left and onto another platform.
Destroy the enemy to the right, and continue to the right, destroying some
enemies on the way. You'll reach another cart scene. Repeat.
After leaving it, go right, destroy some more enemies, and do another thing
with the cart. Defeat the boss at the end of there by dodging and shooting.
Nothing too complicated, really. Just shoot from the left with the boss still
on-screen, but not the center of his chest.
====================
Stage 7 - Spider-Man
====================
This isn't really much of a level; moreso just a boss fight. You'll begin in an
area with some pictures of X-Men nearby. I can't seem to interact with them, so
that sucks.
Jump to ground level and you'll notice a big robot nearby. See that cannon in
its middle? That's bad, very bad. To defeat it, you'll want to initiate the
fight, then lead the boss to the top platform. Then quickly switch to the
floor and fire at it from the side opposite it. Repeat and move as needed.
You *can* be hit, but there is less *to* hit, which makes this easier. He can
jump pretty far, so beware the need for repetition.
After destroying the robotic beast, it'll blow up and some smaller Arcade bots
will appear. You'll need to destroy three of them. Use the same trick as
before. Take them out one after the other; once one is destroyed, another comes
from somewhere else. Eventually, the fight will end...
.. as will the game.
