Level 1:
--------
This is a nice little map in the city. You can fly anywhere in any direction as
long as you don't go through the limits of the level. That basically means that
you can't crash into the buildings on the sides. To begin the level, there will
only be tanks for a while. The first tanks will come on the left and the next
set of tanks will come from the right. To prepare for that assault, just go to
the right and down along the ground. Fire rockets and the gun to kill all of
the tanks that are coming and avoid they're attacks. Do the same thing when the
tanks come from the right.
After those two sets of tanks there will be a set of helicopters that you will
see from a distance. Line yourself with some helicopters and take them out.
There will be another set of helicopters right after that set so be careful.
After those two helicopter attacks, you will see a long line of tanks to the
left. It will come very quickly after the helicopters so be ready as quick as
possible. There will be an assault of helicopters coming up the middle after
those tanks.
You will reach one more set of helicopters so be careful. Tanks will come up to
the right next with a long line of tanks that seems like it lasts forever.
After that will be some helicopters. Tanks will then come up from the left with
another long line. Wait for another set of helicopters. After the first set,
will be another set of helicopters but they'll come one by one this time unlike
last time in sets. After those two sets of helicopters, there will be a set of
tanks to the left.
There will be yet another set of helicopters that will come up after those
tanks and they will be pretty well seperated. Tanks will be on the right after
the helicopters stop attacking. After this long line of tanks ends, there will
be some helicopters coming directly at you. There will be another quick assault
directly after so don't get too comfortable. There will be one more set of
helicopters coming up after that too.
There will be tanks on the left after those three sets of helicopters. After
that is pretty much a bonus level. There will be a few sets of jets flying from
behind you and then across and off the screen. They will start coming from the
left. Just kill them and after a while, they will come from the right. Kill
them now. After the jets stop, there will be a short line of tanks to the left.
After that short line, will be tanks to the right. After those tanks, there
will be tanks on both sides.
After those tanks will be helictopers. Now here, you have to be VERY careful.
There will be a jet flying directly at you shooting about ten shots at once.
Avoid those shots as best as you could. There will be a long pause here but pay
attention. There will be another one of those jets that you just got by again.
Avoid that one with the best of your ability again. There will be a shorter
pause with another jet just like the last two. You'll wait the same amount of
time for the next jet.
There will then be some tanks to the left side of the road. That's when the
buildings come back on the screen so when you see that either go on the left
and shoot, or stay on the left and avoid. After those tanks will be helicopters
coming at you. There will be another set of helicopters after that set so be
ready for them. There will be two more set of helicopters so be careful. After
those helicopters will be tanks on both sides of the roads shooting at you.
After those tanks, you will finally reach the boss. It seems like a long wait
but this game is fun enough that it seems to go by so quick so don't worry. So
anyways on to the boss. It will be a huge battleship that you will never get
any closer to so just keep shooting at it. Shoot with both your rockets and
machine gun as much as you can. To avoid the battleship's attacks, you can
either just go in a circle around the screen or make a figure eight. Just keep
moving to avoid the attacks. Keep shooting until you blow up all of the weapons
and you're done with this boss.

Level 2:
--------
_____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Notes |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| You can only shoot one rocket at a time just like the first level except |
| you can only shoot three shots from the machine gun. |
| |
| The "First Assault" will be the easier and slower paced part of this level. |
| The helicopters will move slower and side to side. The boats will move |
| towards you. |
| |
| The "Second Assault" will be harder and fast paced. The helicopters will |
| try to fly straight at you. The boats will move to the left so when you |
| are far away from them, shoot a little to the left. |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
You start off in a non-3D envirement in this level. This one has helicopter
view. You will start off near two helictopters. This level will be hard because
there will be pretty much always enemies in the way at every second of the
level. It will have very few breaks and even the few last very quick. The boats
have to be blown up with rockets. Blow those up as fast as possible because
they will get in your way later on, especially since they move so slow. The
helicopters you could avoid. Just shoot them with your machine gun. There will
eventually be a pause that you will ge for the first time in this level.
Be careful here and wait in the middle. The helicopters will come a lot quicker
this time and won't move side to side. You can either avoid them, shoot them,
or do both, avoid them and shoot them. There will also be a few boats around
here too which also mess you up a lot. Shoot them a little to the left because
they slowly move left now instead of towards you. After a while you will reach
another break.
Now the level will be just like the beginning of the level. The helicopters
will move slowly towards you moving side to side. Also the boats will just move
forward shooting. This part's easy for getting a lot of kills in. Just keep
going through this part until you reach the next pause. The part after that
pause will be the same as the second. For now on I'll just call them "Second
Assault" and "First Assault" for the different types of attacks. The only
difference here is that the boats do move a little quicker. The next pause will
come quicker than usual too.
You will now reach a new type of helicopter. It will fly into the screen and
shoot a few shots in different directions. You don't have to kill this one,
just let it fly off of the screen. The battleship will be on the left. Shoot at
the guns with your machine gun to kill them. There will also be a few boats you
will have to kill with rockets. You will have a nice little break after that
battleship with just a boat here and there.
After that little break will be a "First Assault." Simple in every way. After a
while, there will be another break. This one will come quicker than usual so
if you're being frantic trying to avoid everything, you won't have to worry
long. After the pause will be the "Second Assault." This one is harder but
still simple if you know what you're doing. Just get through this assault and
to the next break.
AFter that break will be another one of those helicopters that will shoot. Try
to shoot it for a 1-Up. Now there will be a small boat to the left and a nice
big battleship on the right. After the battleship, you will get a nice easy-
going break with only a boat here and there again. After a few boats you hit,
you will see your plane fly forward automatically. That's how you know you
finished this level.
--------
Level 3:
--------
Ahh, back to the great 3D levels. You will start off in the middle but go down
immediately. If you hit those walkways going across the screen, you're F-15
will crash so make sure you avoid those. The very first one will be in the
beginning on the top. They will pretty much all be on the top so try not to go
too high. After a while, there will be some tanks in the middle of the road.
After that set, will be another set pretty much in the same position.
After those tanks will be those tie fighters from Star Wars. They are the same
as the helicopters except they shoot now. There will be one more set after the
first set. Avoid them as best as possible and also avoid the walkways so you
won't crash. There will be another two sets of tanks in the same position as
the first two sets. After those tanks will be two more sets of tie fighters.
There will be two more sets of tanks after those with the walkways in your
way. You noticing a pattern yet? Well forget it.
Because right away will be a new enemy. You will have to fight a stormtrooper.
He will come out just to fire a few shots and then leave. Don't even try to
kill him because it will take too long and you will probably end up coming in
suicide. You will reach three more sets of tanks. After those tanks will be
those jets that will fly by you and won't hurt you. They will come from the
left first. There will be one set coming from the right after the first set so
pay attention.
After those jets, you will see some helicopters coming torwards you from a
distance. After the helicopters will be four sets of tie fighters. Now it's
time to duck again so you won't hit the walkway. There will be tanks in the
middle just like they always are. After the first set, there will be another
three sets. After those tanks, there will be tie fighters. After the first wave
of them, will be another one. After those tie fighters will be a stormtrooper.
The stormtroopers will always be in the same spot so if I say a stormtrooper
will appear, just go to where they start and try to kill him before he shoots.
After that stormtrooper leaves, there will be four more sets of tanks. After
that ordeal with the tanks, will be some tie fighters. Two sets to be exact but
after those tie fighters will be helicopters so don't think your about to fight
some tanks. There will be two sets of helicopters and then it will go to the
tanks again. There will only be one set of tanks and they will be immediately
followed by some tie fighters. Two sets of tie fighters will be there and then
one set of helicopters will come right after.
After those helicopters, immediately dive down to the ground to shoot at tanks.
These tanks will come quicker than usual with a lot less of a pause so be
careful. There will be four sets of tanks total and after those tanks a jet
will attack you. It will give you very little time to move so be careful. This
jet is one of those that fly torwards you and fires in all directions so be
careful. There will be four of those jets so be careful. After the jets, you
will encounter one set of helicopters.
After the helicopter, there will be another stormtrooper. After that
stormtrooper, will be two sets of tanks. After the tanks will be some
helicopters. After the second set of helicopters will be four sets of tie
fighters. After those helicopters will be two sets of tanks with a very small
pause in between. After those tanks will be those jets that won't shoot at you.
They will first come from the left so stay on the left for some easy kills.
After that first set of jets, you will have to go to the boss. You will see
your jet fly up to fight yet another boss.
This boss will be just like the battleship boss of the first level except now
it is a large tank. The tank will shoot all of it's guns at you until one of
two things happens. Either the tank kills you, or you kill the tank. Use the
same strategy against the tank as you used against the battleship. Just keep
shooting all of your weapons and move in either a circle or a figure eight.
Pretty much, keep moving.
--------
Level 4:
--------
You will start in the non-3D envirement again here. Right from the start, there
will be one of those helicopters that stop and fire to the right. Either go to
the right right away and kill him, or you can go to the left and avoid him.
There will also be a new type of enemy to the left. That a missile pad that
will fire missiles at you so be very careful. They are pretty much just like
the helicopters in the second level except they move faster now. After a few of
those missiles will be a battleship to the right.
This level is really just like the second level except with missile pads
instead of boats. The helicopters movements will all be the same between the
two different kinds of assaults. Just keep going through this level either
killing them or avoiding them. Whichever you prefer. There will be small breaks
in between helicopter assaults again except now there will still be missile
pads shooting at you in between the breaks. Just keep going through this level
like you did for the last level.
--------
Level 5:
--------
This level is pretty weird because of the colors but it's pretty much just like
the other 3D levels (levels one and three.) You will start off with a little
bit of peace at the beginning. You will eventually reach a line of tanks to the
left. After that line will be another line of tanks to the left too. After
those tanks will be two of those jets that will fly directly at you and shoot
in all directions.
Immediately after those jets, with a very small break, will be more tanks to
the left. There will be another set of tanks to the left after that set too.
Once again, after the two sets of tanks, you will have to fight two more of
those jets that fly at you. After those jets, the colors will change for some
odd reason but it's still the same level.
Now with the different colors, there will be pillars around. They will go
straight up and you will have to avoid them. The first will come from the left
and the next two will come from the right. Now there will be a short break. In
these breaks, try to position your jet in the middle of the screen as fast as
possible for the best approach. After the quick break will be another same set
of pillars, one on the left followed by two on the right.
You will have one more of these that will be followed by many others, except
now there will be tanks coming after you. Now all of the pillars will be in a
completely random order. There will also be a line of tanks to the left so be
careful and try to avoid everything at once. After the tanks, you can just go
to the far right and you shouldn't hit anything in the way.
There will eventually be one that will hit you. When you see it, move. Now just
go to the middle of the screen. There will be a line that you can run here now
that will let you fly through the whole area without hitting any pillars so
this area will be pretty easy. Just keep going through this line until you have
to move again. After that set of pillars will be some tanks. After a while the
screen will change again to the original colors that you saw at the beginning
of the level.
There will be four sets of tanks to the left now. After those tanks, you will
have to avoid some jets. Two sets to be exact. Immediately after that short
stint of enemies, you will go back to the second set of colors. Just use the
same strategy for this section that you used before. Look for a line to avoid
the pillars easier and just keep moving if you have to. You will also fight
some tie fighters and jets this time around so be ready for it to be even more
challenging.
After a while, the screen will go back to its original colors again. The tanks
will come up early and they will come across the screen, from right to left.
There will be another set shortly after straight up the middle. After those
sets of tanks will be two jets. After the jets will be another set of tanks up
the middle again, followed by a set to the left. The colors will change yet
again so use the same strategy.
The colors will change again and there will be a set of tanks up the middle.
There will be one more set of tanks up the middle and then a quick jet coming
after you. There will be another following the first jet. After the two jets
will be two sets of tie fighters. There will be even more jets here. There will
be two jets and then two sets of tie fighters again. The colors will change
again, use the same strategy. That will be the last time the colors change and
you will finally fight the boss.
This boss will be just like the last two except this one actually moves a
little bit. Just fly around in a circle or in a figure eight while shooting at
the plane. Just keep shooting at the plane and avoiding its attacks until it
finally blows up.

Congratulations! You are the hero of the city war.

4. - Enemies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*These are ordered in the order they will be first encountered.
Tanks - They will always be in a line on one or both sides of the road. They
will try to shoot directly at you and you can either kill them or avoid their
attacks. The best weapon to use against these tanks are the rockets.
Helicopters - They will always be in sets of five. They may come out all at
once or one at a time. All they will do is try to fly into you so just keep
shooting them. The best weapon to use against these helicopters is the machine
gun.
Jets - There are two different kinds of jets. One is the jet that will fly
forward and off to the other side of the screen. They won't shoot at you and
the best way to kill them is with your machine gun. The others are the jets
that will fly directly at you and shoot about ten shots all in different
directions trying to hit you. You best bet here is to do your best at avoiding
those shots.
Boat - They will just be in the water and move very slowly. They will be just
like the tanks except slower so they will get more shots off. The best thing
to do is to kill them as quick as possible so they won't bother you later. The
only weapon you can use to kill these are the rockets.
Battleships - Huge ships with multiple guns that shoot at you. Best weapon to
use against these battleships is the machine gun.
Tie Fighters - Just like the helicopters. They do however move faster and shoot
at you.
Stormtrooper - Will come out and shoot a lot of shots then run away. Don't
worry if you can't kill him, he has a lot of health.
Missile Pad - These will be floating in the water and will fire a rocket
straight at you. They are just like the helicopters in level two except now
they move a lot quicker. The only way you can kill these is by firing a rocket
at the pad before their missile is fired. Once the missile is fired, you can't
kill it. All you can do is avoid it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. - Weapons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are really only two weapons in the game but here I will describe each of
them.
The machine gun is pretty much great for any enemy. It will kill most in just a
single shot and also fairly easy to aim with. There are certain frames that
will all be going straight to the center of the screen, that is how you aim
this gun. You could kill everything with this gun except for certain enemies in
the above view camera levels.
The rockets are great for the enemies on the ground. The aiming will be exactly
the same as the machine gun except it will travel along the ground. The rocket
will drop to about a few feet off the ground and it will then go forward
exploding on impact with any enemy or wall it hits on the ground. It will not
hit the flying enemies and it still won't in the above view camera levels.
When you fight a boss, use both weapons. Just keep pressing the A and B buttons
as fast as possible to kill the bosses. Also try spiraling around the screen to
avoid its shots. Just keep shooting at it with all of your weapons and it will
eventually die.
