001-General Information
-----------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This is the final version of the guide.  I got bored
with updating the guide for about the sixth time, and so I've
decided not to update it anymore.  Period.  You can still
e-mail me about it, though.

This is a walkthrough for the Nintendo Entertainment System
(NES) game called Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.  It's
a rather good Star Wars game, considering when it came out
(I wonder how they were able to get photos of Yoda, Darth
Vader, Han Solo and the rest...I mean, there weren't any
scanners back then).  You can e-mail with questions, comments
and other things at my very long e-mail address,
[email protected], but make the subject "Empire
Strikes Back Walkthrough" or have no subject at all so I
know it's not junk e-mail and I won't delete it.  If you
want to use part of my guide for something, e-mail me to
ask permission first (I won't deny you unless you want to
use it for your list of the top ten reasons why I suck or
something crazy like that), or else you'll break some law.
Okay?  Let's start the guide...

And speaking of the top ten reasons why I suck list, I'd
like to take a moment to defend myself against reason #6.
THE PICTURE AT THE TOP OF THIS GUIDE IS DARTH VADER, NOT MY
MOTHER!!!  YOU TRY MAKING A COOL PICTURE OF DARTH VADER!!!

Thanks to video game strategies for the all force powers
code I use in Evacuating the Rebel Base.

Thanks to the comic book guy from the Simpsons, who
assures me that Episode One, The Phantom Menace,
is the worst episode ever!

Thanks to Keith555 for telling me that the thing Luke rides
in the first part is a Taun taun.

Thanks to the dude who wanted to remain unknown and who
told me about part of the guide being cut off.

Thanks to Ranma-tim for all his help.

Thanks to [email protected]  for clearing up some enemies.  He says
the imperial scout walkers are AT-STs, and a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks to Richard Schopf for some stuff about beating the probe
droid on the first level.

002-Story
-----------------------------------------------------------

You don't know about Star Wars?  My God, what rock have you
been hiding under for the past 20+ years?  Do I really have
to explain it to you?

Okay...a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there is a
rebellion against the corrupted empire.  Heading the empire
is Darth Vader, an evil Jedi who follows the emperor.  Heading
the rebellion is a Princess Leia.  However, the rebellion is
failing and Darth Vader's ship captures Leia's ship.  Leia
realizes that the only person who can defeat Darth Vader would
have to be a Jedi, but there's only one Jedi she knows...

Leia makes a message and deposits it into a droid named R2D2.
Since R2D2 can only make noises like blip bloop, he hangs out
with C3PO, human cyborg relations.  C3PO deals with humans
and droids.  R2D2 and C3PO get in a small spaceship and land
on the sand-covered planet.  They set out looking for the
Jedi.

The two droids get attacked and captured by Jawas (traders).
The Jawas sell the two of them to a man named Luke Skywalker.
Luke's parents are dead, and he lives with his aunt and uncle.
While fixing up R2D2, he finds the message Leia made.  Help
us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

Luke decides that it's worth taking the droids to an old man
who is called Kenobi so he can see the message.  Sure enough,
the old man is Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi.  He knew Luke's father,
and sees that Luke has the potential to become a Jedi.

Obi-Wan, Luke and the droids go out to a city.  They need to
catch a spaceship.  However, the only spaceship they can find
is the Millenium Falcon, which belongs to Han Solo (who has a
bounty on his head) and Han's friend Chewbacca (a Wookie).
They hitch a ride on the ship.

Obi-Wan begins training Luke to become a Jedi.  Obi-Wan gives
him a lightsaber that his father left for him.  A lightsaber
is a small donut shaped candy, and it comes in packs with
about twenty to a pack and cherry is the best and...wait,
that's a lifesaver.

Well, they manage to get on Darth Vader's ship, but after
Vader has already blown up Leia's homeplanet (Darth Vader is
in control of the Death Star, a planet-shaped ship that can
blow up planets).  Luke and the others manage to get to Leia
and set off to escape in a ship.  Obi-Wan stays back to have
a lightsaber fight with Darth Vader.

Darth Vader wins the fight and kills Obi-Wan.  Luke escapes
into an X-wing, while the others go into the Millenium Falcon.
Luke uses his ship to attack the death star, and manages to
blow it up.

The rebellion has struck a major blow, but the empire remains
uncrushed.  The empire is busy building a new Death Star, one
more powerful than the first.  The rebellion is on the ice
planet Hoth, preparing to do something else.

That's where this game starts.

003-Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------

Luke Skywalker: You star as Luke, a Jedi-in-training.  However,
you've lost your mentor, so there's not much to do in the
Jedi business.

Taun taun: You start off riding on this.  For fun, you can get
it killed and watch the cool cut scene as it disintegrates
into nothing.

Han Solo: Han has a big bounty on his head.  Jabba the Hutt,
ruler of Luke's homeplanet, wants him dead.

Obi-wan: Luke's dead master.  Now who can help Luke become
a Jedi?  Luckily, Obi-wan can send Luke some messages to Luke.

Probe: Sent from the Empire to find out where the rebellion's
main planet is on.  You must destroy it!

Bear monsters: Some bear-like monsters that are very weak.

Wampa: A big narsty polar bear monster on Hoth.

Imperial Probe Droid: A powered up version of the probes.
More deadly and dangerous.

Walker: A big machine that the empire has sent out to destroy
the rebel base.

Troopers: Guys dressed in all white.  They work for Darth
Vader.

R2D2: A trash can shaped droid that plays messages from Leia.

Princess Leia: Head of the rebellion.

AT-ST: A robot controlled by a trooper.  It is a boss.

AT-AT: Just like the normal AT-ST, but has a big cannon and
does more damage.

Yoda: A Jedi master Obi-wan tells Luke to go to.  Does he
really exist?

Blobs: Weird things on Dagobah.

Snake: Climbs up vines.

Walrus: Jumping monster on Dagobah.

Mushroom: It can explode.  Luckily, the ones that explode
are green, not brown, so you can tell which ones will
explode ahead of time.

Arm: It jabs out of a tree and hits you.

Spider: Gee, take a guess at what a spider is like.

Ant: A gigantic ant.

Bats: For some reason, they're green.

Grasshopper: A hard-to-beat boss that I find a way to avoid
fighting.

Phantom Darth Vader: A bad guy Luke meets while he is having
strange hallucinations during training.

Orange ships: Ships in the 6th level.

Tie fighters: The normal ships that Darth Vader's men use.  TIE
stands for Twin Ion Engine.

Lando Calrissian: He makes a cameo appearance.

Bounty Hunter: An orange bounty hunter, who is very agile,
makes one hell of a boss.

Boba Fett: A bounty hunter.  Son of Jango Fett, who died in
the first battle of the Clone Wars (he was also the person
all the clones were based on).  Boba likes the bounty put
on Han's head, and turned him in.

Spider man: A eight armed/legged bounty hunter.

Rhino man: A weird creature that looks like the evil wizard
in DBZ, except it has a horn.  It even shoots out green stuff
as an attack like the wizard does!

Darth Vader: Just like Phantom Darth Vader, but this time
it's the real deal.

In case you didn't notice, I don't remember the names of
everything, and I probably misspelled something.  So if
somebody could be really nice and tell me what the names
are, that would be out of this world.  Plus, I'd credit
you for it.  Wow!  You'll be famous!

004-Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------

004a-Exploring Hoth
-----------------------------------------------------------

You start off as Luke on Hoth.  You're riding your Taun taun.
Press right to ride right.  Han Solo sends you a
message, saying a meteor landed near you.  You should check
it out.

If you go right, you'll reach a small probe.  It must have
been sent from the empire.  Using A to jump and B to fire your
shooter, attack the probe and destroy it.  It takes a lot of
shots, but you don't get hurt as long as you're riding the
Taun taun.

After the probe is dead, go right.  You'll reach some small
holes in the ice, but jump over/out of them and keep going
right.  Eventually, Obi-Wan's spirit channels through, and
he tells you that the lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi.
Jump into the hole right of where you hear Obi-Wan.

You should land on a platform made of ice.  If you can see
stair shaped ice things to your left, jump onto them, using
the Super Mario Bros. 2 super jump technique (press down,
wait until the player starts glowing, and then jump).  Jump
off the stairs to the right onto the platform you should have
landed on in the first place.

Press Select to jump off of your Taun taun.  You can
do the super jump too.  Walk right here (you'll walk over an
arch, which your Taun taun can't pass over without
breaking).  You'll see a gap in the ground, so jump right
over it and onto the small ice platform you can see (it's
below where you make the jump).

Fall off this platform to the right.  Walk right, and your
journey is impeded by a block of ice.  Jump onto this block,
and do a super jump right of it.  Walk right, and go up the
stairs.  You'll be in a small cave thing in the ice.

If you look left, you'll see two bear monsters.  From the
safety of your cave thing, shoot at them until both are dead.
Jump onto the platform they were on and get the hearts they
left (hearts give you more life, but you probably don't need
any right now).  Walk all the way left and you pick up a
lightsaber!

Press select to take out your lightsaber.  Now go back to
your Taun taun, using the super jump.  Jump on top of
him and wait a while.  Now ride right, and sure enough
you break through the arch.  Forget that and just keep riding
right.  Jump off this platform onto one of the small ice
platforms.  If everything went well, you missed being attacked
by some bear monsters.

Fall right off this ice platform onto the one below.  Fall
right off of this one onto one below.  Then, fall right off
this one onto a long platform below.  Ride right off of this
platform to the right, and go left down the stairs onto another
long platform.

Jump off of your Taun taun.  Walk left across this platform
and jump off of it onto the small platform you can see below
you.  Fall off this onto the long platform, and walk left
across it.  Fall off the edge.

You'll be behind four ice blocks.  Left of the blocks, some
bear monsters are trying to get through.  Using your shooter,
only destroy the top two ice blocks.  Go left over the two
remaining ice blocks.  Now destroy the bear monsters and go
left through the tunnel.  Kill any bear monsters you meet
along the way.

When the tunnel ends, fall left off of it.  Follow the ice-
stairs down and to the left.  Do the same for the next set
of stairs, and you land on another long ice platform.

Walk right (there's some ice blocks below you, but ignore
them).  You'll reach a gap in the ground.  Jump right over
the gap into another tunnel (if you fall down, then that's
just too bad for you).  Follow this tunnel to its end.  You
get a type of force (a jumping type), and a message from Obi-
Wan.  Obi says that you must travel to Dagobah to learn more
about the force.

Go all the way back to your Taun taun (get the heart
near the bear monster tunnel if you need to).  Now ride your
Taun taun left, and you'll fall through some ice.  Go
left down the stairs.

Go left off of this platform.  Jump off of your Taun taun,
and jump to get the heart above you.  Take out your
lightsaber, and while holding the lightsaber, jump onto the
Taun taun.

Destroy the blocks right of you (all of them).  Destroy the
probes that are here.  Now right of you is some water.  You
can't swim across it, so wait for an ice block to float by.
Jump on it and ride it right.  Jump off it to the ice block
floating right of it, and ride that ice block to a platform.
Jump onto it.

Jump onto the platform above you with a super jump.  Now,
you'll just have to keep going up and up here by jumping
from ice platform to ice platform.  Eventually, you'll reach
one of the long ice platforms.  Go right, and Obi-Wan tells
you that you must use the force to defeat the wampas.

You must be on the lower ice platform.  Look above you.
Now go right.  When you are directly below some icicles, press
down to prepare a super jump.  A wampa (big white bear) will
attack from the right.  Do a super jump right over him, and
go as far right as you can.

You're in a small cave like thing where the wampa can't harm
you.  Turn left (still in the cave thing), and use your light-
saber.  Since you're on your Taun taun, you hit the
Wampa a lot without getting hit.  He dies quickly because
you're using the lightsaber.

When the wampa dies, jump onto the platform above the small
cave thing.  Get the heart, and break through the ice.  You're
on normal Hoth ground again.  Go right, and you'll meet more
probes.  Destroy them.

Han Solo tells you that the meteor that was detected earlier
is an imperial probe droid.  Uh oh!  You must destroy it
before it sends a message to the empire revealing the location
of the rebel base!

Go right.  You'll reach another gap in the ground.  Jump
right into it and press B (you'll get a probe on the way).
Go left, and fall off the platform to the left.  Go right
and fall off this platform to the right.

Jump off of your Taun taun and walk left (destory the
probe).  See where the two arches are (the arches that your
Taun taun breaks).  Go right and jump on the Taun taun.
Now go left, taking great care to jump OVER the
arches (or you die...you can decide which one you'd want).

Fall left off of this platform.  Kill the probe.  Now right
of this platform are nail shaped ice platforms.  Jump from
platform to platform (on one you do a super jump).  You'll
land on a normal platform.

NOTE: Richard Schopf has a strategy different than mine that can
fit in here.  Since I'm lazy and I don't want to really re-do the
game, I'll stick it in here.  If it's better than my strategy, I
don't know.  My strategy will follow.  You should probably try
his though.

The normal platform you spoke of is at the bottom of the caves near the water.
If you cath the little platform on the right and ride across the water.  I
think there might be one more platform to catch, I can't remember, but anyway
if you go all the way to the far right there will be a platform with a wall in
fromt of you, If you use your blaster or lightsaber on the wall, it will
desintegrate and go into a secret room. In the room is a heart power up and
more importantly there is a force icon that is the deflect power for the light
saber. If you equip it while fighting the big probe droid, it will
automatically deflect its laser and you can also hit the thing it as well by
pressing the button as normal. I have never been hit unless I ran out of force.
This power is also helpful in the third level with keeping health while
fighting those dumb pop up stormtroopers.

Back to my stuff.  On the normal platform, go up onto the higher
long platform.  Go right across it.  Destroy the ice blocks and
the bear monster.  Go up the stairs above you and to the left.
At the top of the stairs, jump right onto a long normal ice
platform.  Jump off your Taun taun.  It's time to say goodbye
and leave it...forever.

Walk right across this platform.  You'll reach the edge.  Now
do a super jump right of it.  When you hit the ground, hit
B and the right arrow repeatedly (you shold have your
lightsaber).

You'll run into a heart boost.  Turn left and see the siituation.
A wampa is trying to attack you, but he can't get to you
through the ice.  Using you lightsaber or your shooter, kill
the wampa (you can see its energy at the top of the screen).

When it's dead, look at the ice above you.  It should look
like this (or close to it):

 I I
 III
 II
 III
 III
 I

Now go left and practice using your shooter, shooting something
above you, to the right, and to the left (you must be away
from the ice blocks I drew).  Go back right when you're on
top of things.

Using your shooting (shooting straight up), destroy the left-
most column of blocks so it looks like this:

   I
  II
  I
  II
  II

Now using other shooting skills, destroy two blocks so it
looks like this:

   I
  II

   I
  II

Destroy the block above you.  Do a super jump up and to the
right over the remaining ice blocks.  Walk right here and go
up the stairs.  In the area above you is...the imperial
probe droid.

Wow, this guy is really hard.  Lucky for you, I've got a nice
little ol' cheat to help destroy him.

Okay, from where you are, do a super jump onto the area where
the imperial probe droid is.  Go as far right as possible, and
do a super jump onto the platform above you (the one with
an energy boost and some ice blocks).  Ignore the fact that
the imperial droid pummels you this whole time.

Stand on the left edge of this platform.  The droid will
occasionally float near.  When he floats up towards you, he
will then fire some lasers at you, so as soon as he is level
with you do a super jump to avoid the lasers.  When you land,
press B to whack the lightsaber, and you should get two hits
in.  Do this until the imperial probe droid is destroyed.

Once the imperial probe droid is destroyed, break the ice blocks
to your right.  Run right, and Han Solo tells you that you
were too late, and the imperial probe droid sent a message
to the empire.  Great.  All that hard work for nothing.

You'd better return to the base, so run right and you get
taken there.

004b-Destroying the Walkers
-----------------------------------------------------------

When you get back to base, something's already happened.  The
empire has sent out a bunch of walkers (ten in all) to
attack the base.  You'll have to slow them down so the rebel
forces can retreat.

The main point of this level is to destroy all ten walkers
before they reach the rebel base.

If you look at the top of the screen, you see a basic map.
The rebel base is at the left, you are the red dot, and the
walking things are the walkers.

Press B to fire your ships weapons.  Press up/down to go
up/down (don't go down into the snow).  Press left/right to
go in that direction.  Press A to move fast.

At some point in this level, your ship may run out of power.
You'll crash into the ground.  Luke will get out and walk in
the foreground.  Go either left or right, killing the troopers
you meet along the way.  You'll see another ship in the
background eventually, so press up when you're underneath it
to enter.

You best strategy is to hold A and right until you get to
the first walker.  Zoom right past him.  Now release A and
flip left.  Attack the walker from behind, and flip right
before you go past him (don't hit the walker during a flip).
Flip left and do it again.  Do this over and over until the
walker is destroyed (you can see its remaining energy just
like the imperial probe droid).

That's the strategy, and it works well because you don't
receive any damage when you attack it from the behind (the
walkers' lasers are on the front).  Do this for each walker
until you destroy all of them.

Also, if you press select, you can shoot out a harpoon.  So
shoot a harpoon at a walker's feet to get the walker entangled.
One harpoon kills a walker.  You only get five, so kill about
the first five walkers with harpoons and then kill them the
other way.

Kill all the walkers to beat the level.

004c-Evacuating the Rebel Base
-----------------------------------------------------------

You start off in the rebel base.  Despite your efforts with
the walkers, the empire has still gotten in.  Luckily, mostly
everybody has gotten out.

Go right and you'll run into R2D2.  R2D2 plays a message
from Leia.  Oh no!  The imperial forces have trapped her, so
you must defeat the forces and save her!

Just as a starting note, you should use the game genie code
(Take no damage from some enemies (below)) to help you beat
this level.  You don't have to.  You should.

Okay, go right.  When you come to the gap, jump across.

You have to make a decision here.  You can either get a
lightsaber booster, or not.  If you want to get the booster,
be warned that you'll meet many enemies and a boss.  If you
don't want to risk it (wimp), skip down until you see a
paragraph that starts with PICK UP HERE.  You don't have to
get the booster, but you should as it helps immensely in the
fight two bosses in a row part of this level.

Go right.  Take out your shooter, and climb up the ladder
while facing left.  Don't climb up all the way.  You'll see
some troopers.  Now climb up the ladder in a certain spot where
the troopers can't hurt you, but you can hurt them (their
feet).  Kill the troopers left of you.

Drop to the bottom of the ladder, and do it again, this time
climb while facing right.  When the troopers right of you are
dead, jump over the gap and land on the area to your right.
Break the blocks, and jump over the next gap to your right.
Break the blocks, and climb down the ladder.

Boss time.  An AT-ST is here, but you can't
really do much damage to him (yet).  Run right (you'll run
into the walker) as far as you can go.  Do a super jump up
to get away from the walker.

Go left here, and get the heart.  Climb up the ladder to your
left.  Go left here (ignore the other ladder).  Keep going
left, and jump over the strange-looking circuitry on the
floor.  Some probe droids show up.  Jump onto the left wall
(two jumps), turn around, and destroy them with your blaster
(easy because they're level with you, and they can't harm
you).

When they're dead, do a super jump left.  Get the lightsaber
booster.  Obi-wan tells you to go to Dagobah, and seek the
Jedi master Yoda.  Okay, you'll have to remember to do that.

Go right (kill the probe droids again) back to the ladder
leading down.  Climb it down and go right across this platform.
Before you fall off to face the AT-ST again,
you'll have to use the force to equip your lightsaber booster.
Press start, and use up/down to select the lightsaber booster.
Press A to equip it.

Now fall down and start destroying the walker with your light-
saber.  With the boost, you should kill it quickly.  You'll
notice that your force lever is down.  You don't want to
unnessecarily decrease it, so press start twice.

Go left here.  Climb up the ladder.  Go left and fall off the
platform.  Go left to get the F (increases force power).  Go
right down the ladder, and then left down the ladder.  Go right
to get the heart.  Now climb up the ladder, and climb up the
next ladder.

Using your kill troopers while on a ladder trick, prepare to
kill the troopers left of you.  Climb up the ladder and do so.
Go left and fall off the platform to its left.  Go a small
bit left, only until you're at the right edge of a gap.

PICK UP HERE if you didn't want to get the lightsaber booster
(wimp!).  Take out your lightsaber, and fall down the gap.
Go left (kill the troopers you meet), and jump over the pit
of strange circuitry.  Jump over the barrels and climb down
the ladder.

Run right here, not stopping for anything.  You shouldn't get
hit, and you'll fall off the platform.  Go left, and Han
Solo tells you that there is an AT-ST nearby
with no one in it.

Climb down the ladder left of you and go left.  Do a super jump
into the walker.  Walk right.  Jump over the barrels and the
circuitry.  Press B to kill the two troopers that are firing
at you.  Go right.  Jump onto the first step and kill the
trooper.

Climb up the steps right.  Fall down here, and kill the
trooper right of you.  Now it's time to say goodbye to the
walker.  Press select to blow it up.

Run left and get the heart.  Run right as far as you can.
Jump onto the platforms above you and reach the ladder.
Take out your shooter.  Face left.  Climb partway up the
ladder.  Climb until you are just high enough to hit the
feet of the troopers left of you (they won't hit you).  Kill
the troopers, and jump off to the right.

Take out your lightsaber.  Go all the way right, destroying
the troopers and the weird things that send lasers to the
ceiling (avoid the circuitry).  When you're as far right as
possible, go back left to the ladder.  Jump over the gap,
and run left.  Jump over the boxes (don't destroy them).

Go left into a big open area.  Jump onto the small platform
going up and down.  Jump off it to the left (into the middle
platform), and run left to get the heart.  Go back right
and jump onto the small platform again.  Ride it to the
top, and jump off to the right.

Climb up the ladder here.  Run right across this platform.
At the edge, there is another one of the small platforms,
this one running left and right.  Wait until it comes and
ride it right.  Jump onto the platform it takes you to.
Another small moving platform is right of the platform
you're on.  Do the same thing again; wait until it comes,
ride it right, and jump onto the platform it takes you to.
Do the same thing one more time.

Do a super jump up onto a small platform going up and down.
Jump off it to the right.  R2D2 has another message; this one
says that you won't be able to cross the circuitry on foot.
Dang.

Climb up the ladder here.  Jump from platform to platform
left.  Fall left off of the last one (you'll know which one
it is).  Jump left over the circuitry.  Take out your light-
saber.  Kill the troopers left of you, and jump over the
blocks.

Go left, and climb up the ladder.  Jump off it to the right,
and run right across this platform (kill any troopers).
Climb the stairs, and stop on the highest stair.

Take out your shooter.  Look left, and you'll see a bunch of
boxes.  Fire your shooter while you jump, and destroy the
bottom two rows of the boxes.  Then jump over there.

Go all the way left.  Do a super jump, and destroy the top
block right of you.  Do another super jump to land where
the block was.  Jump off to the left.

Kill the troopers you meet along the way.  At the left edge
of this platform, do a super jump left off of it onto another
pile of boxes.

Okay, thanks to Ranma-tim, I can do this the way it's supposed to be
done.

Go right to meet an AT-ST boss.  Use a lightsaber
booster and attack without mercy.  There's also a place where
you can use your shooter to kill it and not take damage.  Either
way, after it's dead, jump into the remains.  Luke manages to
repair it!

Now that you're in the walker, go back to the circuitry you can't
cross on foot and cross it.  Once you're across, get out of the
walker (it will explode).  Go right to the ladder.

Due to editing, the following cheat is no longer necessary.
However, it is quite useful and I make several references to
it at later points in the game.  Follow the instructions to
activate the cheat:

Press start, hold right (keep it held the whole time), press
start & select & A & B, let go of all the buttons except
right (it's held the whole time), and quickly press B twice,
start, A, B, start, B twice, and start.

If everything went well, you'll get all the force types.  If
the start screen disappears on the move where you press
start, select, A & B, then you'll have to do it over again.
Thanks to video game strategies for this cheat.

Your fight-two-bosses-in-a-row bit is coming up.  Climb
partway down the ladder, and jump off to the right.  Kill the
trooper and climb down the ladder.

Jump left over the gap, go left, and climb down the ladder.
Kill the trooper here, and get the shooter booster (a type
of force; even if you used the game genie code, you probably
should use the get all types of force cheat (above)).

Go back right.  Jump over the gap again, and climb down the
ladder.  Kill the troopers (get the hearts they leave).
Climb up the first ladder you get to.  Climb up the next ladder.

Go right, and jump over the heart (DON'T GET IT!!!).  Fall
onto the left part of the circuitry (the gray thing).  Do a
super jump right off it to the ladder.  Climb up the ladder
to meet the first of the two bosses...another imperial probe
droid.

Run left here.  Do a super jump onto the platform above you
(don't get the life/force refills).  You'll be safe here (for
now).

During the two boss fights, you'll need to recharge.  You can
use these two for that.  But that's not enough.  You need
more.  So here's how to get more: climb down the ladder,
jump left, and get a heart container.  From here, climb down
the two ladders, fight left, climb up three ladders, go up
and right, do the box trick (above), and get a life/force
container.

So that's where you have three life refills and two force
refills.  Use them wisely.

Back to the bosses.  You'll have to defeat the probe.  Here's
my strategy: Equip the shooter booster (a force power).  Now
right past the circuitry (right of the ladder) is a long gray
pole in the background.  Stand at the left edge of the pole
(don't cover up the pole).

The probe will hit you a few times, but don't worry.  The
probe soon appears above you.  Fire your shooter upwards.
With the shooter booster, you do impressive damage.  When
the probe disappears, reposition yourself.  Do this again
until the probe dies.  (It takes about four times).

When the probe is dead, you'll need to reboost your force
power and life power.  Get the ones at the left of this area
if you haven't already (If you have, get the ones I explained
about earlier; not all of them, just enough to get you at
full power).

Once you're back at full power, get back to where you fought
the probe.  Equip your lightsaber booster (you should have
gotten it like I said at the start of this level, and if
you didn't, you should have gotten it with the have all
force powers cheat).

Run right across the area where the probe droid was.  You'll
run into an AT-AT.  This one has an increased firepower.
You don't have much of a chance except to attack it with your
lightsaber.  With the booster, it does a lot of damage.  Kill
the walker (you can do it before he kills you, but just
barely).  When it's dead, run right.  You'll go into the next
level.

004d-Finding Yoda
-----------------------------------------------------------

Luke takes off in his ship (why didn't he save Leia in the
last level?) and goes to Dagobah.  He's going to try to find
the Jedi master Yoda, if he really exists.  Let's just hope
he doesn't sound anything like Frank Oz.

Luke's ship is stuck in one of the swamps anyway, so he's
not going to be leaving soon.  Best be off to find Yoda.

Well, Dagobah certainly is a bad-looking place.  Giant
insects, nartsy creatures, and the big swamp.

Luke has a weird Robin Hood look alike outfit on.  Take out
your lightsaber and head left.  You'll fall down.  Moving
across the ground here are some blobs.  Kill them with your
lightsaber, and keep going left.

Obi-wan will send you one of his last messages.  He tells you
to seek Yoda, for Yoda will teach you how to become a Jedi.
Great, put that on your list of things to do.

Continue left, and the blobs reform.  When you reach the left
edge, jump over the small platforms and fall down.  Go left
to the wall.

Now take out your shooter.  Aim it upwards at the vine and
fire a few times.  You should kill the snake that hangs
out on the vines.

Since the snake is going, jump onto the vine and climb up.
A jumping walrus will jump over you, obstructing your path.
Don't climb up too high or he'll knock you down to the bottom.

When the walrus is left of you, jump off to the right.  When
he jumps back right, he should miss you.  Do a jump left
back over his head and onto the vine.  Climb up the vine all
the way to the top, and jump off to the left.

At this point in time, there's actually a li'l cheat you can
use to get to the end of this level easily.  You can only use
it if you have all force powers (that cheat is above).  I
recommend using this cheat, but if you don't, no biggie.
Just scroll down until you see the words IF YOU DIDN'T USE
THE CHEAT.

To use the cheat, jump left over the gap here, and go left
to the mushrooms.  Jump over the first one (it explodes)
onto the tallest one.  Using your shooter, destroy the snake
on the vine above you.  Now climb up the vine, and jump off
it to the right.

Go right, and jump over the gap.  Walk right, and you'll be
close to a spider on the ceiling.  Take out your lightsaber,
and start hitting the spider.  Note do NOT stand under the
spider or it will attack you.  Once it dies (the life meter
at the top of the screen is untrustworthy), go right and get
the force boost.

Do a super jump right into the nothingness.  At the highest
point in the jump, or thereabouts, press start.  Select
the levitation force, and start flying up/right.  Grab onto
the vine, press start twice, and climb up.

When you're at the top of the branch, go to the left edge of
the branch (do not go up in any way/shape/form).  Sorry, but
the noncheaters (why would they read this guide?) will need
to know how to beat this level too, so I'm going back to them.
Just scroll down until you see PICK UP HERE, where I shall
pick you up.

IF YOU DIDN'T USE THE CHEAT (you should have), go left.  Jump
to the vine, but fall down and don't grab hold (this way a
jumping walrus misses you).  Walk left, and look closely at
the scenery.  A tree will have a big hole in it.  Take out
your shooter and fire at the hole.  After a while, the monster
in the hole will die, leaving your path clear.

Go all the way left.  Using your shooter, kill the snake above
you.  Climb up the vine.  At the top, fire your shooter left
to kill the bats.  When they're dead, jump off to the left.

Approach the jumping walrus.  True to form, he will start
jumping.  Using good timing, go to the vine and climb down.
At the bottom, head left.

You'll run into an ant, which strangely is the boss.  It will
shoot stuff at you.  In the small pit where the ant is, go
to the right edge, and squat down.  Start whacking the ant
with your lightsaber, and do this until he dies.  You'll only
hit him at certain times, but there's on time limit so don't
worry.

Once the ant is dead, go back right and climb the vine.  Get
the heart to your right.  Fall back down, and go back left.
Left past the ant is a giant spider.  Kill it with your
lightsaber, but don't go under it (or he'll hit you).  It's
a piece of cake to kill him when he doesn't move at all.
When it's dead, go left.

Climb up the small vine, and jump left over the platform.
Kill the blobs.  Jump on the rightmost part of the small log
midair above you and climb up the vine above you to the top.
Step left of it, do a super jump left, and land on a branch
there.  Climb up the vine (the one on the tree).

Do a super jump right onto the branch with a heart.  Do
another super jump right off of this branch onto another branch.
Obi-wan tells you to trust in the power of the force.

Do a jump right off this platform onto the swinging red vine.
Press down to prepare a super jump (while swinging; you won't
fall off the vine).  Do a super jump at the rightmost part,
and hope you land on the higher platform.

If you missed landing on the higher platform, go right, climb
up the vine, and jump left to get there.

If you landed on the higher platform, kill the dumb blobs.
Go right, and do a super jump onto the platform above the
vine.  Look left, and you'll see a tree with a hole in it.
Attack the beast in the hole.

When the beast is dead, jump left onto the vine it guarded.
Climb up the vine, and do a jump left off of it.  Jump onto
the vine above you, and get the force booster.

Do a super jump right onto the higher tree branch.  Climb up
the vine right of it, and just keep climbing up vines until
you get to the top of this tree.

Walk right, and jump onto a vine.  Fall off of it (just fall
straight down; don't move at all).  Do a super jump right off
the branch you land on.  Get the heart booster, and jump onto
a red swinging vine right of you.

Do a super jump right off the vine.  You'll land on a platform
with blobs, so kill them quickly.  Jump right and fall down.
Follow this platform right, and fall off it to the right onto
a branch with a force booster.

PICK UP HERE if you used the cheat (see how much you skipped?).
Go to the rightmost edge of this branch.  Squat down to
prepare a super jump, and remain squatting.

Now do a super jump right, but hold the right button the whole
time (do this to avoid a grasshopper boss).   Do another jump
onto the vine near you, and climb up it.  Jump off it to the
left, and do a super jump up to get a heart booster.

Do a super jump here onto a higher branch.  Walk across it
(a red vine is below you).  Do a super jump right off the
branch (don't fall through the vine).  You'll land on a tree.
Do your best to fall to the bottom of the tree.

Kill any blobs here.  Go right across the ground, and you'll
run into Yoda.  He says, "Found me you have".  Yay!  Another
level done!

004e-Crossing the Swamp
-----------------------------------------------------------

"So you wish to become Jedi.  Train you I will.  Much training
you must do first".  With these words, Yoda agrees to teach
you to become a Jedi.

If you use the game genie code that means some enemies can't
damage you, this level is a cinch.

Go right and you'll meet Yoda.  He says, "Go now!  Cross
the swamp.  Feel the force around you."  This basically means
you have to get the far side of the swamp to beat this level.

Right of where Yoda was is the swamp.  A raft moves left and
right across it, so jump on the raft and ride it right (take
out your lightsaber).  Destroy the blobs and the arm that
comes out of the hole.

Jump from platform to platform and get on the highest platform
(don't jump on the tree branch).  Do a super jump right onto
the higher platform.  Walk right off this platform (killing
the blobs).  Fall right off the platform you land on (don't
move as you fall) onto a lower platform.

Right of you is more swamp.  There's a raft that moves across
it, so jump on it and ride it right.  Jump off this raft onto
another raft.  Ride it right.  Duck down to prepare a super
jump.

You'll ride near a giant grasshopper.  Do a super jump right
over it, and another super jump onto the platform its guarding.
Kill the blobs and get on the highest platform.

Do a super jump up onto teh vine above you.  Climb up it, and
jump off to the left.  Jump onto the branch above it (land on
the left part of the branch) and get the force booster.

Take out your shooter.  Attack the hole in the tree right of
you and kill the arm.  After it's dead, do a super jump
right onto the higher branch.  Walk right across this platform,
and fall onto the branch just below it.  Fall right off this
branch, and land into the small area in the ground (there's
a vine).

Get the heart and go right.  You'll run into another giant
spider.  Kill it like you did in the last level.  At the
right edge of this platform, do a super jump right (hold
right the whole time).  You'll land below an ant guarding
a force booster.  Kill the ant from the safety of where
you are, and get the force booster.

Fall off this platform to the left, and move right (a mushroom
explodes).  Stand on the right edge of this platform, and
do two super jumps right in a row (you avoid an ant).  Walk
right along this platform.  You'll meet three spiders.  Kill
them like you normally do.  Since there are three, the meter
will be messed up.

Walk right, and you'll be in open swamp area again.  Go right
across the swamp area, killing the blobs and remaining on the
bottom level.  You'll reach a gap.

Prepare a big super jump.  Jump across the gap (land on the
left edge of where you're supposed to land), and immediately
do another super jump left (a grasshopper attacks, but misses
if you did it right).  Run right into another area in the
ground.

If you messed up, you most likely fall in the gap.  If you do,
go right (you'll meet an ant), and jump across some water
to reach a levitation force.  Use it to get out of the hole.

When you're in the area in the ground, jump right onto the
brown mushrooms (the green ones explode).  Kill the snake
on the vine above you, and then climb up the vine.  Jump
left, and do a super jump back right onto the platform above
the vine.  Walk right across it, and you meet another
threesome of spiders.  Kill them like you did last time.

Right past the spiders are more mushrooms.  Jump onto the
brown mushrooms.  Kill the snake on the vine above you; then
climb the vine.  Shoot the bats right of the vine (don't
jump off the vine until the bats are dead).  Once the bats
are dead, jump off and get the heart.  Climb down the vine
on the right (there's a snake).

Right of you is a bat, so kill it.  Stand on the rightmost
edge of this platform, and do a super jump right off it.
Grab onto the vine (if you miss, go back left and try again).
Jump off the vine right.

Do a super jump right off of the mushroom.  Kill the spider
and get the force booster.  Fall off this platform to the
left (don't move) and wait for the mushroom to explode.  When
it does, go right (there is another exploding mushroom).

Do a super jump right off this platform (land on the higher
platform; if you miss, do a super jump left, and another right
to land on the platform).  You meet Yoda.  He says, "Brave
must a Jedi be, for his enemy is the dark side of the force."

If you go right, you meet the boss of this level, Phantom
Darth Vader.  There's no challenge in this level after you
beat him, besides two exploding mushrooms and a spider.

Since the game isn't good at explaining this, I'll take a
whack at it.  If I remember the movie correctly, Luke's
training is draining him both mentally and physically.  The
force is giving him bad feelings, and Luke feels that his
friends are in trouble.  Luke fears for them.

As Yoda says in Episode One (this game covers Episode Five),
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to...
the dark side".  So Luke, in his crazy state, has illusions
about the dark side.  He actually sees Darth Vader, but Luke
does not convert to the dark side; instead he fights Vader.

However, it's not the real Darth Vader, just an illusion of
Luke's mind.

So go right, and you'll meet Darth Vader.  You can't harm him
with your shooter, so use your lightsaber.  You should use
your lightsaber booster (a force power) in the fight.

Okay, since you're at full power this should not be difficult.
Go right, and start pressing B rapidly to hit Vader.  He'll
hit you back, but you should kill him before he kills you
(especially if you're using the lightsaber booster).

Something strange happens when Vader dies.  His head pops
off like a grape, and his helmet is opened.  Luke sees what
Vader's real face looks like.  No...it can't be...it's not
the real Darth Vader, just an illusion, so it can't be true...
can it?

Whatever Luke saw, it was freaky.

Head right after the Phantom Vader is dead.  You'll reach a
clump of mushrooms.  Wait for the exploding mushroom (the
first one on the left) to explode, and go across.  Wait for
the exploding mushroom (last one on the right) to explode
before continuing right.

You meet a spider, simply kill it like you have all the other
spiders.  Or, if you have some life left, just walk right
past it, and endure the damage (it does a lot, mind you).

Once the spider is dead, fall right off the platform.  Walk
right, and Luke senses a message from Leia (using the force).
Leia says, "Luke, help us!"  Is Leia really in trouble?

Go right from here (jump over the swamp water) to reach Yoda.
He says, "Good...good...much progress...stronger you grow."
That's the level!

004f-Destroying the Tie Fighters
-----------------------------------------------------------

Yoda says, "Your friends are in trouble and help them you
must, but you are not a Jedi yet.  Go, but be careful,
strong is the dark side of the force.  Strong is Vader, mind
what you have learned save you it can."

Basically, your friends are in trouble, and they're captured
on Darth Vader's big ship.  You'll have to get on the ship,
but it's surrounded by enemy ships.  You'll have to destroy
all of them to get onto Vader's ship.

The controls are the same as they were in the level where you
fought the walkers, except that you don't have harpoons.
You'll just have to do your best flying around and destroying
the ships.

You have to take out twenty cloud cars.  When you finish that,
you have to take out 32 tie fighters.  Once they're dead, just
fly up to Vader's big ship and you land.

004g-Saving Han Solo
-----------------------------------------------------------

Well, you're on Darth Vader's big ship.  Time to explore and
see what's up with your friends.

Go right, and some probe droids are flying around.  Destroy
them and continue right.  When you reach the inside of the ship,
there will be a yellow bar on the floor, next to a big wheel.
Do a super jump right over both of them, as they both do
damage.

You'll jump into Lando.  He tells you that R2D2 will shut off
the laser beams for a while.  Climb up the ladder, and head
right.  You'll see R2D2 slide right into the beams.  When
R2 is under a beam (you can tell it because R2 changes color),
you can cross through the beams safely.  Some troopers are
right of the third beam, so be warned that they may hit you
with their shooters.

Once you pass the third beam, kill the troopers.  Go right
(you meet many more troopers), and fall down at your first
chance.

Okay, here you can go in two directions.  You can take the
big, long, out-of-the-way, and fruitless quest to your right,
or you can go left to go to the boss of the level.  Your
quest to the right really does seem to have little meaning,
as it has nothing to do with beating the level or obtaining
anything special.

Since the quest to the right takes up the majority of the
level, and I'm skipping it, this level will seem much simplier
and shorter than it really is.

Okay, to the left of you are some beams that R2 fails to shut
off.  Left of the beams are some troopers.  They fire at you.
Let one hit you.  When you get hit, you get temporarily
invincible (for about a second), which is enough time for you
to travel left through a beam.  Do it again to get past the
second beam, and kill the troopers and take the hearts to
make up for your lost energy.

Fall down the first gap you reach.  Go left across it to reach
a heart.  Go back right, killing troopers along the way.  You
reach another bunch of beams.  You can do the trick you did
last time, or jump through the beams (jump through the middle
part) to get through them.  Right past the beams is a heart
booster, lucky for you.

Right past the heart is a conveyor belt, and on either side
of the belt are gears.  Jump over the gears because they hurt,
and ride the belt right.  Jump over the gear on the right hand
side and fall down the gap.

If you need more force, you should travel left and get the
force booster.  I don't recommend this, since you have two
boss fights coming up, and you should get the force after the
boss fight.  Whatever.

Okay, go right.  There's another gap, and a platform moves
up and down through it.  Wait until the platform comes,
and jump on it.  Equip your lightsaber booster for the boss
fight that awaits you at the bottom of this area.

At the bottom of this area, go left.

You meet an orange bounty hunter.  He does a hell of a lot
of damage, and gives you little opportunity to hurt him.
He jumps around a lot, which makes him harder to hit.  Don't
get caught on his left side, or he'll knock you into a bunch
of beams that will kill you.

Just start whacking with your lightsaber (you'll miss a bunch)
and eventually he'll die.  You'll be left with about half
energy, both power and force.

Okay, you need more force.  Go left.  You'll see a pit of
yellow stuff.  It looks nasty, so jump left over it.  Now just
walk left (no enemies) and get the force booster.  Walk back
right (jump over the thing again), and climb up the ladder.

Go left through this area, jumping over the gears.  At the
left edge of the second conveyor belt are two gears.  Walk
left until you are right of the gears (don't touch them).
Duck down and prepare a super jump (you'll be taken right).
Shortly before you reach the gear at the right end of the
belt, stand up, run left, and do a super jump left over the
two gears.

Run left across the conveyor belt you land on, and jump over
the gear onto normal ground.  Go left (climb down the ladder).
Jump over the gear and the weird yellow pit.  Fall to the
ground and you'll be up for your final boss of this level,
Boba Fett.

Boba Fett is the bounty hunter that captured Han Solo.  Looks
like you'll have to kill Boba.

But you can't kill Boba with your poor health.  Run left and
get the heart.  Run back right (go right as far as you can
go).

Boba will fly around, and he drops small bomb things.  If you
stay as far right as possible and duck down, he won't hit you.
Boba will fly nearby sometimes, so hit him when he does (use
your lightsaber booster).

Just remain crouched in the bottom right hand corner to avoid
damage, and jump up only to attack Boba.  Do this again and
again and again until Boba is dead (Boba has one of the nifty
life meters in the upper right hand corner).

When Boba is dead, he doesn't die.  He flies as fast as
possible left.  Run left after him (jump onto the platform),
and you're taken to the outside of Vader's ship.  Boba escapes
in his ship.

Leia tells you that Boba has Han.  You'll have to take Boba
down before he can get away!

004h-Killing Boba Fett
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is just like the destroying the Tie Fighters level.
Same controls and everything.  The only difference is the lack
of Tie Fighters; this time you have to take down Boba Fett's
ship.

Just do what you did to destroy the Tie Fighters until you
finally kill Boba Fett and save Han Solo.  Do that to beat
this level.

004i-Saving Princess Leia
-----------------------------------------------------------

Luke lands back on Darth Vader's big ship.  You start off
where you did last time.  Go right, and Han Solo sends you
a message: "Thanks kid.  You'd better go find Leia.  I think
she's in trouble."

Great, now you have to save Leia again.  Run right and you'll
meet some troopers.  Kill them and keep going right.

To enter the ship, you can take either the upper or the lower
path.  Take the upper one and fight the bounty hunter across
only if you don't have the levitation type of force.  If you
can levitate, take the bottom path, get the force booster,
and levitate up.

Right past the bounty hunter are some gears and conveyor belts
(the bounty hunter will still try to injure you).  Go across
them.  Evntually you'll come to an open area (when you have to
pass over two gears in a row).  Do a super jump and land on
high conveyor belt.  Stand still and ride it until you get on
normal ground.

Right of you will be not one, but two bounty hunters.  You'll
want to make this short.  Use your lightsaber booster and do
them in.  You might not make it, so if you seem to be done,
jump up and climb the ladder to reach a heart booster.  You
can also attack the bounty hunters while on the ladder (you
won't get hit, but you won't hit them a lot).

Once the bounty hunters are dead, look up.  There's a big
tunnel leading up.  Wait until a platform appears, and ride
it up.  On the left during the ride is a force booster, so
you can get it if you need it.  When you reach the top of the
ride, jump off to the right.

Destroy the troopers and go right.  Prepare a super jump
across the conveyor belt and do a super jump just before you
hit the big gear.

You'll land on a gray thing.  Do a super jump left onto
another gray thing.  Do another super jump right onto the
high conveyor belt.  Ride it right.

You land in a safe place.  Fall off to the left and ride the
conveyour belt right.  Jump over the yellow stuff to the
force booster.  Use the levitation force to get to the higher
level (go on the left).

Another bounty hunter is right of you.  You can't lightsaber
fight it, since it'll knock you in the gap again, and you'll
end up wasting all your force power.  You'll have to kill it
safely from here by using your shooter.  It takes a long time,
but the bounty hunter dies in the end.

Go right past the double wheels.  If you need more life/force,
do a super jump onto the conveyor belt and ride it to the
upgrades.  When you get them, go back.

Now, you'll need to fall down here to the area below the
double wheels.  A bounty hunter is there.  Your main objective
is to get past the bounty hunter and fall down the chasm left
of him.  You don't have to kill the bounty hunter to do this.
Fall down the left chasm and hold left (you may/may not get
the heart booster).

From where you land, go right across the conveyour belts.
It's a long way.  When you finish the conveyor belts, fall
down into the open area.  Another boss fight.

A AT-AT is your enemy again.  Kill
it like last time with your lightsaber booster.  When it's
dead, go right to receive a heart/force booster.  Isn't that
nice?

Well, it is nice, but the rest of thet level isn't.  You have
three boss fights to get through (three in a row).  Go left
here, and you'll receive the levitation force even if you
already have it.  Obi-wan sends his second-to-last message,
use the force.

Go left.  See the yellow stuff?  Brace yourself.  You have to
fight two bounty hunters left of the yellow stuff and not
get knocked in, which is damn near impossible without cheating.
Plus, they don't leave those nice little hearts for you when
they die.

When the bounty hunters are dead, fall left into the chasm
they guarded.  What do you know, two MORE bounty hunters!!!

Go right and climb up the ladder as fast as you can.  Get
the force booster.  Do super jumps right, and when the
bounty hunters catch up, use levitation force to fly out of
their reach.  Land left of the laser beams.

Get the heart here (the bounty hunters will still try to
attack), and go left.  You'll run into the last boss of this
level, another bounty hunter.  I call him spider man.

Spider man fires at you, rolls either left or right, stands
up, and repeats the process.  Use your lightsaber booster
to make short work of him.

When Spider man is dead, he leaves many hearts.  Just go left
through the enemy-less area and reach Leia.  She tells you,
"Watch out Luke.  It's a trap!  Vader is here and he's
after you!"

004j-Fighting Darth Vader
-----------------------------------------------------------

Last level!  Kill Darth Vader to win!

The good part about this level is the fact that the most
common enemy is very easy to kill.

So go right and kill any rhino men you see along the way.
You'll see a big crane.  Do a super jump onto the crane (if
you screw up, you'll land on spikes and die).  When the crane
is at the top, do a super jump right off of it.

Go to the edge of this platform (the lower one).  Below you
will be a platform with an orange trooper.  Do a super jump
down onto it, and kill it before it can harm you.

Do a super jump left onto the platform below you (the one
near the ladder).  Climb down the ladder for a force booster.
Look down, and you'll meet...Darth Vader.

Remember Phantom Darth Vader?  The real Darth Vader is just
the same.  He's easy.  Plough through Vader to the left.
You'll be in a small area, from which you can attack Vader
without fear of retribution.  Killing Vader is a piece of
cake.

When you kill Vader, he breathes is and with his dying breath
says, "Impressive..."  That's weird.  Then Vader disappears,
leaving behind a force booster and a heart booster.  Aw, man!
Vader isn't really dead yet!

Go right across the lower platform here.  Fall off it to the
right (don't move), and you land far below (near a ladder).

A small platform that moves up and down is near you.  Ride
it up, and jump off to the left.  Go left to meet...Darth
Vader again.

Since this is a rather open area, do a super jump left over
Vader.  Run left as far as you can go.  You'll be in another
nice area where Vader can't hurt you.  Kill Vader, and with
his last breath he says, "Most impressive." Great, he's
still not dead.

Get the force and heart booster that Vader leaves.  Since
you're in the leftmost part (or you should), here's what to
do.  Jump onto the platform above you and climb the ladder.
Climb the ladder above it, and go lfet to meet...Darth Vader
again.

Luckily, you have another one of the safe places.  Plough
through Vader and go left.  Go as far left as possible.  You'll
see weird cyllinders.  Jump onto the lowest one (the one on
the right).  Kill Vader from the safety of this place.  With
his last breath, Vader says, "Obi-wan has taught you well."
(which I think is actually said in Return of the Jedi,
considering what Luke says after that).

Get the force/heart boosters that Vader leaves.  Go right back
to the ladder you used to climb up here (near silver metallic
stuff).  Do a super jump onto the platform right of the
metallic stuff, and climb the ladder.

Jump off the ladder to the left.  Do a super jump above you
to get to some rhino men (kill them).  Do another super jump
above to reach orange troopers, kill them for hearts.

When the troopers are dead, head left.  Do a super jump over
the hole in the ground (or you'll have to do it all over again).
You'll reach an area with many cyllinders.  Jump from cyllinder
to cyllinder (spikes are below).  Land left of the spikes.

See the third cyllinder left of the platform you're on?  Do
a super jump onto it.  Now fall off it to the right (don't
move).  Jump to the platform a bit lower that you to the left.
Who should appear but...Darth Vader.

Jump onto the platform left of you (it's above you).  Darth
Vader won't attack you while you are here.  Left of you is
another platform which is slightly taller than yours.  Vader
will land on it occasionally.  When he does, attack.  In the
end he dies, and with his last dying breath, Vader says,
"The force is strong with you, young Skywalker."  Could this
mean...he still isn't dead?

Grab the heart/force boosters he leaves.  Being very careful,
go to the far left (to the pipe).  Jump onto the platform
right of the pipe.  Jump onto the cyllinder right of that, and
do a super jump back left onto the platform with a weird
machine on it.

Go onto the platform above you here.  A crane will come down,
so ride it up to the top, and jump off it to the right (get
the heart).

Jump onto the platform above you and climb up the ladder.
Jump right onto the platform with the rhino man (kill it).
Walk right, and kill the orange troopers.  Using the cyllinders,
jump up to the platform with the werid machine.

Jump onto the platform above you here, and ride another crane
up.  Jump onto the platform right of it.  Jump onto the platform
above you (the one with the ladder).  Get the force booster.

Jump right onto the platform with the rhino man.  Jump right
again onto another platform.  See the blue thing in the
background.  Jump onto where it is.

Of course, you can't catch hold of it, but you land on some
cyllinders near spikes.  Jump onto the cyllinders right of
you, and do a super jump onto the higher platform.  Kill the
rhino man.

Fall right off this platform and kill the rhino man.  Swing
on the chain over the spikes, and jump off to the right.  Get
onto the higher platform, either by your jump or climbing
up the ladder.  Jump onto the crane right of you, and jump
to the platform with the heart when it is at its peak.

Swing right on another chain, and land on the cyllinder.
Fall of it to the right, and you're back on normal ground.
Go right and kill the orange trooper.  Fall right off this
platform.

Do a super jump left (don't land on the platform you just
fell from).  Fall off this platform to the right, but hold
onto left.

You land on a platform with a bounty hunter.  You don't
need to fight this fight.  Go left and fall down the ladder.
Do a super jump right over the gap (spikes are at the bottom).
Fall down the first gap in the metallic area.

Climb down the ladder and jump right across the gap.  Continue
right.  Yoda tells you to use the force.  Use your levitation
force to go up through the chasm, and take a tunnel to the
right (the tunnel above a force booster).

Climb down the ladder and get the force booster.  Climb back
up the ladder, and up the ladder right of it.  Jump right
for another Darth Vader fight.  No safe hiding place this
time, so kill him as quickly as you can.  With his last
breath, Vader says, "Luke, give in to the dark side!".

Get the heart/force boosters Vader leaves.  Head right.  See
where the platform goes down?  Jump over it (it won't hold
you).  You run into...Darth Vader.

Yay, the last Vader fight.  Now right of Vader is more of
the platform that can't hold you, along with a platform that
you can safely stand on.

This fight is just like the last, except it takes more to
kill Vader.  He also makes things fly around, so look out
for them.  Just attack Vader like you always have, and he
should die.  Not tough for a final boss.

Well, when you kill Vader, he falls down onto the spikes
below, but manages to live.  Enjoy the ending!

005-Hidden Secret
----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Ranma-tim for this.  He said the following:

Here's another thing that is totally unnecessary for completion of the
game, but is important for 'completists'.
On the very first level, there are some hidden game-credits with
pictures! Head as far left as you can in the level. Quite low down you
hit a
large textureless turquoise wall of ice. This can be destroyed in
places with your light-sabre or blaster in a diagonal left-upward path!
Once
through, you can fight or ignore some wampas, and work your way all the
way up to a Force-Power. When you pick it up, you suddenly get some
pictures of the people that made the game! Totally weird and
unnecessary
to the game
