5_  Well, this cabin is quite simple, but it can be very

| 5 | parts. you will encounter two kind of enemies: the

| |_  ones with only one shot of your gun, but the red
|_  | ones takes you four gun shots. stay away from your
_| | enemies and kill them as soon as possible. go all
|  _| the way down, but do not scroll the screen too fast,
| |_  because you will encounter too many enemies, and it
|   | is going to be really hard to avoid their gun shots.
|   |
|] [| When you first enter the room, red enemies will
|_  | always come from the left, and grey enemies will
_| | ___  always come from the right. go down and kill
|   || P | them. after killing exacly 9 enemies, (5 reds
|  _||_ _| and 4 greys) you will encounter four red enemies,
| |_ |   | so do not go down too fast. then, red ones will now
|   ||===| come from the right, and grey ones from the left.

surrounded by water, but do not worry, just    1==>_   |_| _ |
jump in the water with your vehicle, and sink    |  ~~~~~~~ ~|
all the way down. few bricks are blocking the    |~~~~~~~~~~~|
way, so destroy it and keep sinking down. once   |___     ___|
you are on the bottom right corner, get out your =_B |   | __=
vehicle, and go thru the tiny passageway that    |____|B|____|
leads to the bottom right door, and enter it.    |____| |    |
the next room is quite linear, so keep going     =__X |  \   |
left and enter the left door. here, ignore the   |  | |   \  |
upper door and go down. you will see another     |_____    \_|
door to the left, enter it. go down as soon as   |    /  ____|
you enter the door, because some strange enemies |    | |    |
will run on you. (try to avoid them instead of   |       \   |
killing them) go left until you see a door, but  |        \  |
do not enter it. go up and enter the other door. |         \ |

    __| |   here, but it still not very difficult. if you go down
   |  __|   slowly, it can be very easy. enter the bottom left

   | |__    damage. I guess we all have to practice a lot before

1_  This area is very linear, so just follow the way right until
you reach a green area. (when you have two different choices,
always take the lower one) note that the enemies are more
resistant here, so keep shooting them until they die.

1_    __________  ___   This is the last area and also the more
    |          || 1 |  difficult one. you will have to be very
    |          ||   |  careful here, because there is a lot of
    |          ||   |  spiked areas that can cause you lots of
    |          ||   |  damage. first, go down and enter the left
    |          ==   |  door. now go down and pass thru the first
    |          ||___|____  spiked area you see, then enter the
    |          ==_       \ bottom right door. now go right, down,
    |__________|| \  |\   \  then left (skip the two doors you
                |  |_| \ _=  see) and enter the left door. the
_________  ____ | __    \ |  only way to reach the other side is
|         ||*hov||/  \   / =  to use one hover block. if you try
|         ==_  _==    \_/ /   to pass without using your HOV, you
|         |__|_|_|\______/    will loose one half of your life!
|         ||      _       |   enter the left door. here, you have
|         ||     / \______=   to find a way to go down without any
|         ||    /---\   __| ___  damage, so go a litle bit left, and
|  *hov __==  _/    |__/  |/   \  go all the way down. you will have
|_________||______________==   |  to use your HOV again to reach the
|                         ||   |  bottom right door, so do it and
|                         ||   |  enter the door. now go down and
|   ______________________==___=_______  enter the very right door.
|  |______________________||         _C| go all the way down and enter
|                         ||           | the left door. your are now in
|_________________________==___________| the most difficult room of the
area, so take all your time and kill the red caterpillar-launchers as
soon as you can. go all the way left, go a litle bit down, then all
the way right. enter the right door and keep going right. you will
find the last CABIN of the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2_       ___  You do not have to look for vehicle items, because
       | P | you will never return to your vehicle anymore! so
__ ____|_ _|____ __  kill the two enemies and go up. enter the door
|                   | and prepare to fight the PLUTONIUM BOSS. the
= BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB = best strategy against him, is the hit and run
| BBBBBBB   BBBBBBB | technique. if you beat him, do not celebrate
= BBBBBBB 2 BBBBBBB = too soon, because you will have to kill the
| BBBBBBB   BBBBBBB | UNDERWORLD LORD. he is very easy, but pretty
= BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB = long to kill. go on the right wall, and keep
|__ ______ ______ __| shooting him until he is dead.
