I. Introduction
   ************

* This FAQ contains a little info on the game, controls and some of the
  Game Genie codes for Blaster Master 2. It does not contains the mission
  walkthrough.

* I have not tested all the codes myself, so there could be some fault.
  If you find a non-working code, please E-mail me. I do not take the
  responsibility for any damage caused due to these game genie codes.

* I would be glad to receive your contributions and suggestions, and
  you will be credited.

II. About The Game
    **************

Name         :    Blaster Master 2
System       :    Sega Genesis
Company      :    Sunsoft
Released     :    1993
Type         :    Shooter
Genre        :    Action/Adventure
Players      :    Single Player
Language     :    English

Blaster Master 2 is a sequel to Blaster Master, and although I have not
played the original, most people seem to think it is not that good. But
still I found it to be a nice game to play for a couple of hours. You
play as Jason and control a robotic vehicle call S.O.P.H.I.A. in the game
and its your usual jump and shoot side-scroller game. For more info, you
can see the reviews posted at Gamefaqs.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Story
     *****

Taken from Blaster Master Home Page (http://bmhp.iwarp.com/BM2.htm) :

It has been four years since Jason's Encounter with the Plutonium Boss
and the radioactive mutants under the Earth. His only reminder of the
incident is S.O.P.H.I.A., the vehicle he used to stop them, which he has
hidden in an abandoned barn. One day, one bolt of lightning struck the
house and caused the ceiling to crumble, knocking Jason unconscious. When
Jason woke up, S.O.P.H.I.A. was in pieces and the parts he had collected
from his first dealings with the Mutant Bosses were missing. Little does
Jason know that there are more lightning beings where the first one came
from and they are planning to destroy the Earth. The beings started
digging towards the Earth's core in order to shift the planet's weight
off its axis, leading to total annihilation. The parts from S.O.P.H.I.A.
are being used to create a robotic army to assist the being in
accomplishing their mission. Now, Jason must stop them, but he won't make
it without the help of S.O.P.H.I.A. Since he can't recover the parts, he
decided to redesign it to better prepare himself for the ordeal facing
him. After 29 days, S.O.P.H.I.A. was completely rebuilt and ready for
battle. Remembering where he saw the being's footsteps, Jason jumped in
his vehicle and headed towards the mountains where the challenge begins.

VI. Tips
    ****

Not much here right now. Just keep firing and jumping. Just Kidding.

* Use your simple fire splendidly. Its unlimited, so keep firing.

* Use the special fire wisely. Don't use it against single enemies,
  wait for an area where there are a lot of enemies on screen, and
  then use it.

* Do increase the number of credits that you get at the Start menu.
  Of course don't do that if you want a challenge.

* You don't need to kill every enemy. No need to play Rambo.

* Try not to go back to an area, as the enemy will respawn
