This will, hopefully, be my first complete Faq\Walkthrough that I have ever
written. I chose this game because it was short and something that I knew a lot
about. I've always liked this game and I tried to give it my all to get you
through to the end. This game's over three years old now and replaying it made
me happy becasue I had forgotten how good this game was and how satisfying it
is to kill all those alien suckers.
Contra is basically a game where you pick up the controller and are immidiatly
immersed into the action. You must battle your way though hords of aliens and
massive bosses and mini-bosses. This game is tonnes of fun and I hope you have
as much enjoyment reading it as I did writing it.
This Faq\Walkthrough will include:

|| INTRODUCTION ||
<>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<>
The first Contra game for the Playstation 2, and it's a hit! The fast-paced
action never stops until the end of the game. You switch to the weapon that
you desire and then you are ready to rip the enemies a new one. You can
just hold down the fire button and let the good times roll or take your time
and make them suffer. Besides the constant fire, there is a load of bosses and
mini-bosses that are gross and vile. This is a none-stop action ride that will
leave you begging for more.

&&&&&&&&
{FORTRESS}
&&&&&&&&
-Crash Landing-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After you crash to the ground in the airplane and are propelled out the front
window switch to your machinegun and fire it forwards. As you walk it will
take out a guard on the ground. There is another guard above the one you just
killed on a platform. Angle your gun up and to the right and fire to knock
him down. Move under the platform and you’ll come to a truck that is parked
in your way. You can jump over it, but that’s no fun, fire into it with the
machinegun and after a short while it will explode. There is a guard behind
the truck on the other side. When the truck explodes continue to fire the
machinegun and the bullets will kill him as well. Walk along, past the truck,
and behind you someone on a motorcycle will rev about. Charge up a
flamethrower shot and when he appears in front of you get in the prone
position right in front of him. Blast him with the shot and then burn him
with the flamethrower. After he fires a pink sphere over you, a short while
later, he will blow up. Run past him and fire your machinegun forwards. You’ll
come to a part where the ground begins to elevate upwards. There is a guard
at the foot of this, but your machinegun should take care of him.
-Into the Fortress-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Up the hill a bit further is a sniper positioned behind a barrel. He shoots
forwards, so don’t jump or walk up too quickly. Take out the barrel and it
will explode and burn the sniper to death. Behind you some guards with swords
will enter the screen. Turn around and feed them a stream of bullets to knock
them away. They only take one hit from anything to die, pity really. Up
another hill is another sniper behind another barrel. Shoot the barrel,
watch out for any shots he may get off, the explosion will take care of
him. Above him is a guard packing a mortar shell. Angle your gun and shoot
him before he launches it. Take care of any strangling guards behind you and
walk inside a building until the screen locks. Behind you a crane will pull
something out of the ground. It spins it around and prepares to drop it to
the right of you, so don’t be under it. It looks sort of like a spider with a
turret on its top but with four legs. Charge up a flamethrower shot and when
it drops from the crane give it to him. After it lands burn it with the
flamethrower. It will start to launch a volley of bombs over your head, they
will arch over you and you wont get hit, so just stand there and burn him.
-Destroying the Spider Robot-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After some time he will shuffle back and forth, then, move to the corner and
jump over you and land on the other side. Charge up a flamethrower shot and
wait for him to land and then give it to him. Continue to burn him afterwards,
like before. He should by now start to fall apart and then explode into
oblivion. If not, it will launch a tracking torpedo after you. You are safe up
until the point where the tracker becomes deep red and the beeps become closer
and closer. Then run away from the torpedo and it will miss you. After this,
if he is still not gone, he will walk across the ground. Get in the prone
position and he will walk right over you. Once he is on the other side he will
probably repeat this pattern until it's dead. This is my assumption because it
takes extremely horrible accuracy to have him alive for that long of a period.
When the spider machine’s gone, angle your gun up to the right. Move on and
you’ll see an ovalish looking container on the roof above two guards with
shields. Blast the container with a flamethrower charge shot and it will fall
down and blow up. The explosion will burn the guards to a crisp. Behind them
is another container on the roof above two more guards, one with a shield and
another with a sword. Blast the second container on the roof with another
charge shot to take care of the other guards on the ground.
-Up the Wall-
^^^^^^^^^^^
Move on and behind you some guards with swords will start to run after you.
Turn around and blast them with a fury of machinegun bullets. They keep
coming, so don’t plan to kill them all. Jump on the wall at the end of the
room to the right and you’ll miraculously stick to the wall. Charge up a
machinegun shot and begin to climb. As you climb some snipers will appear to
your left. They’re standing on platforms, three of them, one above another,
ready to kill you. Let the machinegun shot go right above the first sniper. It
will rotate and shoot the snipers above and below it. Let another machinegun
charge shot go a little bit further up and it will knock the third sniper
furthest up out. When you get to the top of the fenced area jump to the top
and walk over the cage and land on the ground below it. Continue on and the
screen will lock again and a machine will come out of the ceiling. If you were
paying attention to the background earlier you would have noticed this
machine being propelled up in the back before you started to climb the wall.
-Twin Gun Machine-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After it stops and starts to connect its parts change to the flamethrower and
charge up a charge shot. It has two arm-like guns and a center crystal that
is its weak point. Shooting its crystal all the way until it breaks will end
the battle now, so leave it for last if you want a full score. Choose an arm
and stand under it. The arm has a missile launcher on it, as well as the other
one, so it makes no difference the one you choose to destroy first. The
missile launcher has a laser pointer showing you exactly where it is going to
shoot its missiles. When you are standing under one of them the other ones
missiles can’t reach over enough to touch you. Blast the missile launcher
above you three to four times with the charge shots and it will blow off and
explode. In its replacement a shot dispenser-like thing will attach in its
place. Stand under it and you can place yourself in the gaps of the shots and
not get touched. This is tricky and may require some trial and error before
you get it right. There’s no real explaining how to do it, you have to
experience it. Shoot it above you with three to four more charge shots and it
will be knocked off and a fire shot gun will attach in its place. This gun
shoots some flammable liquid to the ground and when the liquid hits the ground
it starts on fire and moves along the ground left and right. You can jump
over this flame easily and the liquid can’t touch you.
-Finishing the Machine-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stand under it and jump the flames a little while after the liquid hits the
ground to be safe. Blast it upwards three to four times with the charge shot
and it will be blown off and a fire wave shooter will attach in its place.
This is the last reincarnation of the arm and the most deadliest. You can’t
stand under it because it will shoot a fire wave down at you and osculate back
and forth. So you can’t even stay on that side! There is only one place to
go, the other side. Stand under the other arm. It still has the missile
launcher on it, so don’t worry. Avoid the missiles as they come out of the
launcher and angle the charge shots so they hit the fire wave shooter on the
other side. Three to four blasts and it will fall off and nothing will attach
in its place, thank god. The crystal in the center that has been dormant
through all this will start to do something. It shoots a spark to the ground
which travels along the ground and comes after you. Jump over it to avoid this
pithy attempt of an attack. Get to the other side and blast away at the
missile launcher on the side you’re on now. The missile launcher, shot
dispenser-like thing, fire shot gun and fire wave shooter are easy to take
care of on the opposite side.
-Snowboarding-
^^^^^^^^^^^^
When both arms are all gone the crystal in the middle looks so lonely. Fire
into it with the machinegun and beak all its bulb-like things. After they are
all shattered the whole machine will break down and start to smoke with some
parts of the center falling to the ground. Move along with the flamethrower,
blasting as you do. You’ll run into three consecutive guards with shields. The
flamethrower will penetrate the shields and kill them so you can just walk
right through them, quite literally, don’t stop. Run through two more guards
with swords and one more with a shield. Walk a little while forwards and a
helicopter will shoot a hole in the bridge that you are on and you’ll fall
right though it. You’ll land on a snowboard and will be snowboarding down a
mountain, sweetness! Power up a flamethrower charge shot and give it to the
guards on the jet packs that come from the background. When they fly into
range give each of them two shots to take them down. Sometimes they come in
pairs and with one shot you can hit two of them, get a two for one deal with
two shots killing two. If you don’t kill them fast they will fire their
machineguns at you.
-Snow Snake-
^^^^^^^^^^
They fire where they had you in their sites last and they don’t move while
firing, so you’re free to move away. Kill them all and the screen will change
the angle and you’ll be ‘boarding towards the screen. A snake will start to
jump in the background and come for you. It jumps left and right, weaving in
the snow behind you. It comes right up to you and jumps into the snow to the
right or left of you. Get your flamethrower out and blast it in the direction
that the snake tunnels into. You will break away its scales and reveal its
ribs. After, it will pop out of the snow and repeat this pattern. Burn him
three more times and he will start to jump over you arching. Charge up a
flamethrower shot and blast him in the head as he does. That ball that is in
its mouth will blow up with green blood when he is dead. The snake will sink
back and then lunge at you but breaks apart before he touches you. This is
quite cool to see. The camera will go back to its previous angle and after a
while you will be launched off a ramp and grab onto an overhead bar.
-Flying Nuisance-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Get out your flamethrower and climb across it. Some grasshopper monsters will
swarm around you as you try to climb forwards. They will take turns trying to
pick you up and fly away with you. Burn them with the flamethrower to watch
them fry. Get to the end of the overhanging part, burning all the grasshopper
monsters in your way and jump to the ground below. Move along and you’ll come
to a platform that you can jump on with an overhang that you can grab onto
above the platform. Just jump onto the platform and that blue helicopter that
blew out the bridge from under you from before will transform into a mech. It
will land and stand in front of you. It will start to power up its gun when
the weirdest thing happens. A giant turtle will fall on top of it, who would
have guessed? The head of the turtle is its weak point but there are some
other areas that you must take care of first to get a full score. There are
these openings above and below the turtles head that flies and maggots come
out of. The top one flies and the bottom one maggots. Jump on the beam above
the platform and volley some mines over the turtles head to hit the opening
above the turtles head. Flies may come out of the opening so watch out! Also
the turtle may send pink balls at you that will go after you so drop down to
get away.
-Destroying the First Form-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After twenty or so mines it will bust off. At any point the turtle may stretch
out its neck and try to get you. Fall off the beam and get to safety to
avoid. Then get right back up and shoot the opening. When the top one it gone
go to the bottom ground and get in the prone position. Shoot mines along the
ground and under the turtles head to hit the bottom opening. If the turtle
decides to stretch out its neck it has a hard time hitting you while you’re on
the ground. The mines will roll along the ground and blow away any maggots
that come out, and blow the bottom opening off when you hit it with around
twenty mines. Now it’s time to take care of the head. Get out the flamethrower
and constantly burn it. It will launch a couple pink balls at you from its
mouth, which can’t be destroyed, so watch out for them. When you have torched
the turtles head for long enough it will blow off its neck leaking green blood
behind. Then the thing does an about face and reveals what’s on its other
side. A giant ugly face.
-Giant Ugly Face-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
From its mouth and nose it will leak flies, maggots and those pink
indestructible balls. Use the flamethrower to burn them away and duck or jump
the pink balls. Then from its mouth it will arch a long shot of puke. Duck
near its chin and the barf will arch over your head. There’s pieces of metal
and what-not in the puke. Angle your gun up to the right while ducking and
burn its tongue and mouth. When the puke is done it will shut its mouth and
start to release more flies, maggots and pink balls. Burn them away like
before and then burn his mouth when he throws up again. For the second time he
pukes he usually dies shooting green blood out from every cavity in his head.
He will fall down with his tongue out of its mouth. His head will jiggle like
Jell-O, this is really weird and disturbing. When it’s dead you can run
around and burn his head for your own pleasure before the level ends, it does
nothing.
&&&&&
{TRAIN}
&&&&&
-Blast Through the Sign-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You start this level in front of a sign that says: work together. You blast a
whole in the guy’s face and blow through it from behind. You’re on a
motorcycle and you land on a dock. After revving forwards a bit the water of
some harbour appears in the back. From the center of the water a blue
submarine surfaces. Four compartments open up from its right end and each of
them launch a big yellow ball at you. Move in one of the gaps between two of
the balls as they come down towards you and you will be safe. When the balls
are gone the submarine launches four more yellow balls at you. Avoid them the
same way you did the first barrage. When the second set is gone the porthole
of the submarine will power up and shoot a red laser across the ground. When
it swipes across jump over it. This happens twice and then the submarine dives
under the water. Move to the right of the screen because the submarine will
start to rise right into the dock from the left. It knocks upwards on the dock
two or so times before busting through. Power up three flamethrower charge
shots and blast the twin cannons. The cannons fire two fire shots at you
around three times, jump these and return fire immediately.
-Submarine into Helicopter-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When the cannons break off the ship will dive again and reappear in the center
water. Its center will flip around and reveal some propellers. The propellers
will start to spin and the submarine, now helicopter, will fly out of the
water and over your head. When it is out of the screen, atop you, it will
appear to the right. Before you can see it you will notice a guard that is
flying on a rocket in the background. He will fall back and then come flying
in really fast at you from the left. Power up a flamethrower charge shot and
point it to the left. When you can see him let it go and he’ll be blown away.
Now from overhead a compartment will come out of the helicopter with some
barrels on it. Blast through the barrels and into the compartment itself with
the flamethrower charge shots around five times. It will blow off and the
helicopter will rise a little higher in the air. When the helicopter is
completely over your head another guard on a rocket will fly in the
background. Again charge up the flamethrower charge shots and let him have it
when he enters the screen.
-Helicopter Lasers-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Up above you there are five little openings. Each one will open up, one after
another. They contain a laser beam that shoots out of it and spans to the
ground. You can’t go through the beam, you have to wait until it is turned off
before you can move on. Blast the opening of each laser with the flamethrower
charge shot twice. You must angle for some of the shots because as the screen
progresses it might not always leave you enough time to get them all when
they’re over your head. Nearing the last two lasers the helicopter will come
down closer to you making the area really tight and a bit easier for you to
blast the last beams. Once they’re all gone the helicopter will move back up
before you are hit by a section of it. When the helicopter moves back up
another guard riding on a rocket will try to fly into you. Take him out with
the flamethrower charge shot, as well take out the second one that follows
him. When they’re both gone to the upper right a cannon will appear. This
cannon shoots a liquid to the ground that sparks a flame to run left and right
along the ground. You can jump the flames. Angle your gun to shoot it down
with four charge shots from the flamethrower or get directly under it and lay
that shot into it, it’s up to you.
-Helicopter Explosion-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you have blown off the cannon, and also broken off every other part of
the helicopter, it will start to smoke and spark. It will then crash into the
water behind you and explode. If you missed to take off a part of the
helicopter it will just fly away and you wont get a full score. After the
helicopter is destroyed or flees you will encounter some more guards on
rockets, but this time they’re hanging off of them and throw grenades at you.
Get in the left corner and jump up and down and shoot charged flamethrower
shots to the top right corner, where they enter from. As they enter the
screen they should take one hit and then take a second shot killing them
before they get to throw their grenades. The constant jumping will help you to
leap over any explosions, hopefully, to keep you from dying. There are five
of them, kill them all and then you drive into a train tunnel, hence the name
of this level. You disappear into darkness and when you reappear you are right
next to some train tracks. The camera switches its angle and you are now
riding towards the screen. A train rushes by you and at the end of the train
to the left of you the caboose has a giant gun on it.
-The Train-
^^^^^^^^^
The gun fires three tiny balls behind you. They come forwards and track you
down to take you out. Power up a machinegun charge shot and fire it in the
center when the balls come forwards to get you. The twirling effect of the
shot will take care of one or more of them and then you can get the rest with
basic machinegun fire. After five or so blasts of the rounds of balls the
giant gun will turn around and a target will appear on it. Go up to the giant
gun and shoot the target. After some slight damage it will blow off the rest
of the train and explode. When it’s gone the camera will do a 180 degree turn
and you’ll be behind Bill. The next section of the train, which is on your
right now, contains men on motorcycles. They are launched out, one by one, and
they either come to your left or right side. Which ever side they decide to
come on power up a flamethrower charge shot and blast them once and then
finish off the rest of him with the flamethrower. They usually never get a
shot off of their gun doing it this way but if you are slow they might. Jump
the shot if it manages to get off. Also the motorcycle men will charge into
you after coming to one of your sides, so feel free to move left and right and
even jump over their heads if necessary.
-The Head of the Train-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After around six motorcycle men the container that they came from will break
off and the camera will do another 180 degree spin and you’ll be coming towards
the screen once again. The train is back on your left now and the container
will open up and spit three flying things above your head. One in the center,
which is the main core, and two on either side of it, which are sort of like
its arms. Take the right arm out first. If you wait too long it fires a
machinegun fury at you and makes things way harder. Blast it upwards three
times with the flamethrower charge shot. When it’s gone take out the left arm.
It launches pink balls at you that explode when they hit the ground. Avoid
the balls blasts and take out the left arm by shooting it from under it or by
angling your shots to hit it from a bit of a distance. Finally when both arms
have been destroyed the center becomes active. It flies to the top and center
of the screen and opens up. It will then fall behind a bit and start to shoot
a red laser along the ground that explodes at the end. It will shoot three of
these in a round as he passes from left to right. It may do this twice and
then it will close up and rush the screen. It leaves the screen for around
half a second and then appears atop in the center and comes right in firing
range. Power up a flamethrower charge shot before hand and when he starts to
point his blue laser, give his center the blast.
-Out of the Tunnel-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It only takes one hit and then it falls to the ground and explodes. If you
miss it you wont get another try. It will fly away. You need to kill it for a
complete score. After, the train to your left will change tracks and it will
be on the line to the right of it as you exit the train tunnel. The camera
changes back to the side view again and you rev right into the back of the
train and board it. Change to your mines and power the charge shot up. Walk
along the train until your come to a cannon. Let the shot go and it will fire
homing missiles that damage the cannon. The cannon fires timed explosives at
you that roll on the ground for a few seconds. Stay in the distance to be
safe. Fire another mine charge shot into the cannon and it will blow away. Run
to where the cannon was on the train to your right but don’t jump up to where
it was positioned. A turret will come out of the next portion of the train
and fire a barrage of bullets over your head. Charge up a mine charge shot and
let them fly at it. It will blow it away, then jump up. Power up another mine
charge shot and when you see the guard to the right of you loading a mortar
cannon, let it fire. It will take him out, hopefully before he gets to launch
his gun.
-Warning-
^^^^^^^
When he’s gone continue to shoot the mines on the ground as you progress
forwards. There is another guard with a mortar cannon at the other end of the
next section of the train. The mines will roll across the ground and blow him
away. Behind the guard is another cannon that launches explosives. Power up
two mine charge shots to take it out. Behind it is another guard with a mortar
cannon. Shoot one more mine charge shot to track him down and take him out.
Jump on the next section of the train but only on the first level. Run to the
right side of it and a turret, like before will come out and fire a barrage of
bullets over your head. Use the mine charge shot to take care of it. Finally
jump on the second level of that part of the train and then to the last
section of the train. Launch mines on the ground to take care of that last
cannon on the ground. When it is gone and a red warning sign will flash on the
screen and a beeping noise will siren. You will run to the center of the last
piece of the train and then the camera will turn around revealing a giant
robot behind you.
-Giant Robot-
^^^^^^^^^^^
The robot fires its arm at you and it destroys all of the train besides the
section that you are on. It then proceeds to run after you. It comes up on the
left side of you, so get ready with a flamethrower charge shot. When it is in
range shoot its shoulder pads with the blasts. You need four or so of them to
take the shoulder pad out. Meanwhile it will either ram the train, jump on the
impact of it to be unaffected, or it will launch its arm at you. Jump over it
, then jump over it again as it returns from the opposite direction. A while
later he will jump around over your head and land on the other side of you.
Now it’s time to take out the other shoulder pad, the same way as before with
the charge up flamethrower shots while avoiding its arm and ramming. When the
other shoulder pad is gone the robot will flip to the other side over your
head and run to the front of the train. It stops the train and picks it up.
The robot launches four yellow balls at you from its head. You can see the
shadows of these balls as they come closer to the ground, this makes it easier
to avoid them. Launch mines into his head from a safe location and after
around ten mines a part of his head will blow up.
-Die Robot-
^^^^^^^^^
The robot puts the train back on the tracks after you have blown a part of its
head off. It disengages its arms, they fall off and explode, and a new set of
arms attach. He will now jump back on the train and land to the left of you.
With out any momentum the train starts to move again, get ready and switch to
your flamethrower. The robot will release some razor wheels after you. They
crawl along the ground and when they reach the other side of the train they
spin in the other direction and fall off the other side of the train. Jump
each wheel twice while firing charge shots from the flamethrower into its back
compartment. Shoot it in the center of its chest and it will penetrate into
its back. If you’re quick you can do this in around eight blasts, if you’re
not you have to watch a little something. He will transom into a jet and take
off. Get in the prone position and stay there. It will fly over you and never
hit you. When it is done with that the robot will land back on the train
backwards. Stay down! It will jump backwards into the other corner of the
train. Repeat the process of shooting its back cavity with the flamethrower
charge shots and it will blow off when enough damage it dealt to it. When that
is done the robots back will smoke heavily and it will walk towards you. A
bridge up above will clothesline it and take its body off its legs. The body
will fall back and blow up. The legs, however, will continue to walk towards
you. Use the flamethrower and torch it. After a few seconds they will crumble
and blow up. If you’re too slow the legs will walk right off the train and you
wont get a full score. Be sure not to fall off the train when the legs are
gone.

{CITY}
&&&&
-Darn Dogs-
^^^^^^^^^
You enter this level on a hover board and land right into a pack of dogs that
are running around. When you jump off the board make sure you have the
machinegun equipped. Throughout this first part guards with swords will
constantly be coming from behind you, so watch out. Blast you machinegun
straight as you move on. There is a guard being attacked by a dog further up.
Blast him away with the machinegun and the dog dies too. A guard on a rotating
blade will fly across the background, and further up you will confront him.
Angle the machinegun upwards and to the right to shoot him down. Run along
after the flying guard and kill all the sworded guards that are coming behind
you until you reach a sandbag barricade. Behind the barricade is a sniper.
Shoot the sniper before he can get a shot off or jump the shot if he gets one
off. The sandbags calculate in to your final score so take a little time and
destroy all three of them. Now you’ll come to a part with a truck parked right
in your way. Another guard flying on a spinning blade will also come from
above. Shoot upwards to take out the guard then blast the truck to blow it up.
Finally for this part there is another guard, this time with a mortar cannon,
behind another set of sandbags. Shoot forwards with the machinegun to take
him out then shoot the sandbags away. The guard will get his cannon off so
watch out for the explosives that come out of the cannon.
-Beatle Sentry-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Run along and you’ll come to an elevator. Walk on it and a pack of dogs will
run towards you being chased by some sort of beetle-like flying robot. It
flies in a circle around you and then hovers in the top right corner. This
robot you can only hit when it opens its big red eye in front of it. It usually
opens its eye when it is performing an attack. It starts out by opening up
two hatches on its back and two guards with swords jump out. Before the guards
land on the ground blast the red eye with two flamethrower charge shots and
then burn the guards that are on the ground. Next the robot will shine a
search light on you, when it hits you its back will open up and a volley of
bombs will launch out towards you, these are really hard to avoid by dodging.
The bombs are always after the two guards come out of the robots back so
prepare by switching to the machinegun and fire upwards under the robot into
the hole that the bombs come out of. As the bomb come flying out they will be
destroyed by the machinegun fire. You can get the fire of the machinegun close
to the eye and the hole at the same time, if you’re good, and you can hit the
eye and destroy the bombs at the same time.
-Giant Maggot-
^^^^^^^^^^^^
After the volley of bombs the robot will fly in the center and let two more
guards with swords out. Blast the guards with the machinegun and then fire the
machinegun into its eye. It will then proceed to go in the left corner and
launch another volley of bombs at you. Repeat the process for this and the
robot should blow up and crash in the back sometime later. Ride the elevator
a little while after the flying robot is gone and it will come to a stop.
Charge up a flamethrower charge shot and move forwards. You will come to an
edge of a ramp and a spinning robot will come rolling up it. Don’t shoot it,
wait for it to open up and reveal its inside before you let your shot go to
destroy it. As you make your way down another spinning robot will come on the
ceiling then a final one on the ground. When you’re done with them continue
until you come to a conveyor belt. There is a rotating circle of spines at the
end of the conveyor belt so you need to be constantly on the move. From the
top right a maggot creature will crawl in attached to the ceiling. Do not grab
onto the ceiling for the maggot creature will shoot towards you at an
incredible speed to take you out.
-Painful Death-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Charge up flamethrower charge shots and constantly bombard the maggot with them
Don’t stand under him and shoot because he releases yellow balls from his
back that bounce up and across the screen. Weave in-between them when they
give you room and make your charge shots angle to hit the maggot. After around
30 seconds the maggot will move across the ceiling to the other side. On this
side he lets out spiny things covered in mucus to the ground. You have to
jump over these in order to not get hit by them. The single and double drops
are easy to jump over but when he drop three almost consecutively you need to
take a really big jump to overcome them. Continue to charge up the
flamethrower shots and lay them into him and he will start to bleed green
blood after awhile and fall to the conveyor belt below. Jump to the ceiling
and watch as he gets eaten by the spinning wheel of spines that gnarls him up,
this looks really cool. If you don’t kill the maggot when its letting the
thorny things go all it does it move back to the right side and let more
yellow balls bounce.
-Sewer Serpent-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Move on and you’ll pass a window to a compartment in the back that has the
maggot that you previously fought crammed into it. Pass it and you’ll come to
a cut off pipe and a snake that is eating some waste below. There are two
horizontal things above the snakes head that you can grab onto. Jump to the
one directly above its head and point your gun downwards and burn the snake
with the flamethrower. The snake will only do one of two things: throws up
puke that misses you because it goes everywhere except above its head or shoot
bubbles at you. These bubble do go above its head so jump to the left, where
the pipe is half cut off and burn the bubbles as they come for you. When
they’re gone get back above the snakes had and continue to burn it. After a
short while the snake goes down and gets sucked into the waste below. Jump to
the ledge across the waste pit and make it to safety. Walk on and drop down to
a lower path a bit further up. Behind you, as you land, another spinning
robot will roll towards you. Blast it with a flamethrower charge shot when it
opens. Up ahead you will travel up a ramp. Near the top is your final spinning
robot. Once it’s taken care of move up to the top.
-Tunnel Machine-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Behind you a huge machine will break through the wall and start to chase you.
It comes at you from the left so you need to back-pedal and lock out you gun
pointing left if you want to do this most effective. There is a big cannon on
the top of it that fires spark balls over your head and a tiny cannon that
launches mines that roll on the ground towards you. There is also some
grinders at the front to take care of any debris that gets in its way. Power
up your flamethrower charge shots and when you have one ready get in the prone
position and blast it at the small cannon below. You can easily destroy the
top cannon first but then you would have no room left nearing the end of this
to get the bottom cannon and you need it for a full score. Get up after you
have shot the bottom cannon and charge up another. Continue to do this and
when you start to enter the building to your right it should blow off. If it
doesn’t jump over some of the obstacles and blast it a few more times. If it
is still there you have been too slow and there is no time to get it. Start to
blast the top cannon now. It takes around the same amount of damage that the
bottom one took but you need to watch out that it doesn’t rush into you
because it’s coming ever closer as you progress.
-Above the Machine-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When the top cannon is blown off jump up to the ceiling by using one of the
platforms that have been coming from behind you for leverage. The machine will
run underneath you and pass through the screen on the right. If you’re not up
on the ceiling, you’re toast. On the machines body are four generators. They
appear to the left and shoot a beam of electricity out of them. They take
around three hits of the charged up flamethrower to blow up. Before the
machine leaves through the right part of the screen you should be able to
destroy two of the generators on its back. You must angle your blasts for them
to be most effective without getting hit by the electric beams. When the
grinders are at the edge of the right side of the screen a missile will fly in
from the right to try and hit you down. Burn it with the flamethrower and
also get the one that comes from the left in the same manner. When the head of
the machine is through the right side of the screen the third generator
should be in firing position. At the same time two rockets following each
other will come from the right. Burn them away like before. Charge up three
more flamethrower charge shots to blast the third generator away. A bit later
the fourth generator will appear.
-Behind the Machine-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A missile will come from the left now so burn it away. Blow up the fourth
generator the same way you did the other three and then wait. Three missiles
will come from the left, one after another, so shoot a flamethrower charge
shot to take all three out at the same time. When you can see the back end of
the machine another missile will come from the right. The final three missiles
come in when the end of the machine is around halfway in the screen. Two from
the left and one from the right. After destroying the last missiles, drop to
the ground and charge up a flamethrower blast. You are now behind the machine
chasing after it. The pits of lava with the spiny things in them must not be
touched, jump over them. It will open its back and reveal its weak point, a
big rid eye. Blast the eye with two charged blasts from the flamethrower and
then the eye will shoot a red beam at you. Get in the prone position and the
beam passes right over you. Get up afterwards and lay two more flamethrower
charge blasts into the eye. It will then close up and release two razor discs
that bounce on the ground. Let them bounce over your head. After the eye will
open up again. Repeat the pattern again. The second time the eye closes it
throws out a spinning robot at you, it opens up when it lands so lay a charged
up flamethrower blast into it. When the eye opens for a third time repeat the
pattern and it usually blows up now and ceases to function. If it doesn’t it
will throw out more razor discs and spinning robots at you when its eye is
closed until it dies.
&&&&&&
{SEABED}
&&&&&&
-Missile Alert-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You enter the level flying in, hanging on a missile that is under a wing of an
airplane. The missile releases and you are now being blasted through the air.
18 missiles, like the one you’re grabbing on to, will come flying into the
screen from the left side. Charge up the a mine shot and constantly let them
go. The homing missiles will track the other missiles flying around and take
care of them. Keep charging up shots and killing the missiles until the screen
changes its angle and you are taken to another part of the level. You swoop
down from the clouds and are up above a body of water. Some big thing flies in
from up above you and crashes behind you in the water. Then a really big,
huge, robot will appear and do a summersault and land in the water as well.
The robot shoots a chain that attaches to the other thing that came before it.
The camera shifts to behind the robot and you’re behind it. Start by charging
up some flamethrower blasts and shooting them into the robot’s backpack. The
blasts should travel though the backpack and into the robots gun on its right
arm. Do this around three times and then the backpack will drop mines into the
water.
-Battling the Giant Robot-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Around the same time as the mines drop from the backpack some homing missiles
will launch out of a cannon on the top of the robots head. Move up to the very
top of the screen. From here you should not be able to get hit by the mines
because you are too high up. Stay in the left corner and charge up mine
blasts. Let them go and they should take care of the missiles that are coming
out of the robots head. As for the mines that are in the water, you are so
high up that they will miss you when they explode. After awhile the robot
will start to jump up and down. Don’t go under him the first time he jump,
instead fire more charged up flamethrower shots into his backpack. The second
time the robot jumps go under his legs. You’re now under his chain so you
can’t move upwards. And to your right is that thing that thing the chain’s
attacked to. Charge up some flamethrower blasts and let the appendage have it.
It will launch missiles out of its top to try and get you. Stay close to it,
but no too close, and the missiles will arch right over you. When they’re all
launched the thing will lift up letting you out from underneath it.
-Breaking the Robot Apart-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It will then shoot another round of missiles after you. Keep charging up
flamethrower shots and blast it upwards from underneath it. When those
missiles are gone, it will go back down to where it started. Now concentrate on
the gun that is now shooting fireballs at you. Use the flamethrower charge
shots to lay some damage into the gun, then switch to the mines. Charge up
some homing missiles because a round of missiles will come out of the robots
head and come after you. Take care of those missiles and one last round of
missiles will come out of the little thing attached to the chain, use homing
missiles to take care of them. Then the robot will rush forwards, be sure
to be at the top to get over the robots head, and you’ll be behind the robot
again. Lay some final charged up flamethrower shots into the robots backpack
and it will blow off. Now the robot will start to jump right away. Shoot at
its gun with the charge flamethrower blasts from behind it. Go under the robot
the second time it jumps and start to blast the little thing attached to the
chain, again with the charged flamethrower shots.
-Destroying the Robot-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After a few more shots it will blow away. The robot will fall back a bit but
then come back in to confront you. Blast the gun some more times and like all
the rest of the parts it to will blow away. Now that chain that was attaching
the robot to the appendage thing, it will be electrified and the robot will
whip it at you. Stay to the far right and it will miss you. The robot will
launch four homing missiles at you from its head. Charge up a mine shot and
let it go when the fourth one it launched. Your missiles will take care of the
bombs, then, get over the robot's head. A shaft will come out of the robots
chest and blast a huge beam of energy. The only safe place is above its head.
The shaft is its weak point. Blast charged flamethrower shots down at the
shaft. The chest cavity will close up and the shaft will conceal itself again.
The electrified chain will whip and some more missiles will come out of the
robots head before the shaft will make another appearance. Blast the shaft a
couple more time with the charge up flamethrower shots and it will blow up
taking the whole robot with it.
-The Oil Rig-
^^^^^^^^^^^
The robot falls back into the water and explodes. When the robot is gone you
are taken across the water and dropped into some sort of oil rig. You’re
hanging on to spinning blade that is slowly descending downwards. Get out your
machinegun, you’re going to need it. As you descend stay up to not get taken
off guard by the stuff that comes from the bottom. On the right a white spider
will come crawling up towards you and jump at you if it gets level with you.
Blast it, it dies with one hit and then blast the green pod on the left side.
The pods are what spawn the white spiders, so get ride of them fast. Further
down a white spider will come from the left side, with a pod on the right
side. Blast them away and then take care of another white spider on the right
and pod on the left below them. Below them are some more pods and spiders and
then a giant plant will be stretched across the entire area. You can’t go
through it, you have to blast its head. As you do the plant will reseed into
the wall. Keep blasting it and when it gets to the wall it will die leaking
green blood.
-Cyber Head-
^^^^^^^^^^
Down below are some more pods and white spider, then another plant coming from
the other side this time. Blast it back into the wall and right below it is
another plant. Take the plant out and further down are two pods with no white
spiders. Blast the one on the right away first and then quickly turn around
and get the one on left before the white spider that is hatching jumps at you.
When they’re both gone ride the spinning blade to the bottom and you are
automatically let loose when you reach the bottom. A door closes behind you,
it means nothing so move forwards. You enter a room with some monitors in it.
All of a sudden the room begins to spiral and a head appears and the room
returns to normal. Get our your flamethrower and burn the head as it travels
left and right. The head will throw little round discs at you and the
flamethrower will take care of the discs as well as hit the head. Pieces of
the head will break away revealing what it behind its shell. You need to break
all the pieces away, but before you can the head will sink back a little so
you can’t harm it. It shoot two laser at you from its forehead and you must
jump over the blasts that the lasers create.
-The Seabed-
^^^^^^^^^^
When the lasers go away the head will come back into range and you can burn it
until the last pieces of it break away. Now the head is a brain. It will
slowly come towards you dropping pink slime out of its bottom. Keep burning it
and when it stops dropping pink slime for a second run under it to the other
side. The bottom of the brain opens up and lets a waterfall of slime out.
Angle your shots and blast the brain with some charged up flamethrower shots.
A few of those and the brain will die. It literally disintegrates into thin
air. Now you are able to move on. Charge up a flamethrower shot and shoot it
into the pods that are on the ground. Blast the two that are on the ground by
going into the prone position and then get the one on the ceiling by angling
the shot. Get the one on the ceiling across from the first one and then jump
the green water that is in a pit on the ground. On the other side of the green
water is a passage filled with pods and white spiders. On the ceiling there
is around six pods and on the ground around eight. Blast them all away with
the charged up flamethrower shots and on the other side is another plant
stretching from the ceiling. Blast the plants head with the charged up
flamethrower shots and after two shots of it the plant will reseed into the
ceiling and die.
-Ugly Fish-
^^^^^^^^^
Jump on the floaters that are in another pool of green water and get to the
other side. Progress though another passage filled with pods and white spider
and jump on the floaters in the green water on the other side. Jump to around
the fourth one and a deformed fish will pound at the glass behind you and
crack it. Water will now flood into the area and you begin to rise up. Change
to your mines and charge up some homing missiles. Point your gun upwards and
let them go. Keep doing this and all the bombs that drop from the ceiling will
be taken care of. The bombs drop in but the homing missiles that you launch
get them before they hit the ground and explode into tiny particles that hurt
you. Sometimes the bombs don’t even enter the screen before they’re taken out.
You rise and reach the top with a ceiling rail on it. The rising stops and
that deformed fish will jump over your head. If you charge up a flamethrower
shot and let it go at the right time you can harm it by blasting it into the
fish’s mouth.
-Killing the Fish-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After it lands it will swim under you, you can see it move around.The fish then
dives and some bubbles will appear under one of the three floaters in the
area. If the bubbles are under the floater that you are on jump to another one
because the fish will rise up and tip over the floater that it is under to
get you. The fish does this to all three of the floater so you’re at least
going to have to jump once. When this is done the fish will swim some more
under you. It will leave the screen on either the right or left side. Which
ever side it leaves on get to the floater to the opposite side. Charge up a
flamethrower shot and get into the prone position. Let the blast go when the
fish appears in the screen and keep charging up more and letting them go into
the fish’s mouth. When some time has passed the fish will start to suck the
water into his mouth. Jump backwards onto other floaters to avoid being sucked
into the fish’s mouth. It will then dive and pick a floater on its head and
rush towards you. Jump on the floater on the fish’s head and then down to
another floater in the water. The fish will jump over your head again and
repeat his pattern. Blast the fish's mouth a few more times when it sucks the
water in and it will die. It splashes around and sinks to the bottom, but it
comes back for one last try to kill you. It comes up underneath the floater
you are on. There’s green blood trailing it so you know where the fish is.
Make sure the fish doesn’t hit you and it will rise to the surface and die.
When it starts to flap its tail you can jump on it and burn it for fun.
&&&&&&&&&&&
-ARCHIPELAGO-
&&&&&&&&&&&
-Through the Jungle-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You start this level by blasting your machinegun down into a pile of barrels.
The barrels explode and take the guards with swords that are around the barrels
with them. You come in from the top, hanging from a spinning blade. You drop
off it when you reach the ground. Keep on your machinegun and fire it as you
walk forwards. Take out the guards with swords that are in your way and then
watch out for the sniper on top two barrels that are on top a truck. Jump up
and take the sniper out, watch out for the shot if he gets one off. When he’s
gone shoot the truck until it explodes, the barrels will also explode with it.
Some guards with swords may come from behind you now, so shoot them away.
Travel on and you’ll come to a hill. Climb it and at the top is a guard
loading a mortar cannon. There are also some sandbags in front of the guard.
Jump up and angle your machinegun fire to hit the guard and then take out the
sandbags for a full score. Next is another guard loading another mortar
cannon. Shoot down to take him out. Jump on the tree root that he was on and
then shoot the sniper on another root above you by angling your shots.
-Truck Snail-
^^^^^^^^^^^
When the sniper’s gone jump on the side of the root to your right and climb up
it and get on the top. To the right of you is another guard loading another
mortar cannon. He lets it off as soon as you see him, but you are so high up it
will miss you. Jump down and shoot him away and then press on. You will come
to a truck in your path and a slug will rise from underneath it, now it’s a
snail. Change to your flamethrower and burn it. When the snail opens up its
mouth it will leak bubbles. Use the flamethrower to pop all the bubbles while
dealing damage to the snail. When the snail closes its mouth it will disappear
and the truck will roll across the screen to the other side. Now it appears
again and it will do one of two things: more bubbles or shoot missiles into
the air. When all the missiles have been shot the snail will disappear. The
only safe place to stand it on top of the truck. Jump on the truck when the
snail is gone and you wont get killed by the bombardment of missiles. The
snail will move the truck across the screen again but this time when he
appears burn him and he will die. Then the truck will explode.
-Wrecked Planes-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Keep your flamethrower on and move forwards. You’ll run into a guard with a
shield, he’ll be burned as you walk into him. When he’s toast charge up a
machinegun shot before you jump to the overhang that you can grapple. There is
a sniper on the other side of the pit that you must climb over. Let the shot
go when you can see him. It will rotate around and get him, hopefully before
he gets his shot off, which is hard to avoid. When the coast is clear jump to
safe land and blast away the white spider that is crawling towards you. There
is an airplane propeller in front of you now. Shoot the bottom blade to make
it spine counter clock wise. Then run under it when it is going fast enough.
Past the first propeller is another one, but this one is missing a blade.
Jump over it, don’t shoot it because it is really hard to go under. Two more
white spiders will meet you as you try and jump over it, blast them away.
Finally after it the last propeller. It is on sort of an angle so shoot down
on that same angle and take out the white spider that is coming for you.
Rotate the propeller blades counter clock wise again by shooting the bottom
blade and then run under it.
-Entering the Base-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Past the propellers is a back of an airplane where guards with swords jump out
of. Run under the hatch where they come out with your flamethrower blazing to
get any that appear in your way. Next is a part with a three story thing that
you can jump on. Before you do, burn the guard with the shield at the bottom
then jump to the top of the building and equip your machinegun. There is a
sniper at the top on the roof of the building across from you. Shoot him away
and another sniper will take his place. Kill three of them and then switch to
your mines. On the wall across from you is a cannon that launches bombs on the
ground and below it a red button. Also on the ground are guards with swords
running around. Go to the edge of the top of the building and arch your mines
so that they volley across the way and damage the cannon. Shoot them up and to
the right. When the cannons gone shoot your mines forwards to damage the red
button thing. After awhile the red thing blows away to reveal a secret
doorway. All the guards with swords will run away and you automatically run
into the doorway.
-Enemy Commander-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now you encounter the enemy commander. He does a number of moves that are
completely random in order. He will either shoot beams of electricity at you
that rotate around the screen. You must keep in-between two of the beams and
walk as they move, even go up the wall and onto the ceiling sometimes. He may
roll up into a ball and bounce around the screen. Watch where he is going to
learn the pattern and avoid, this can be tricky. He may jump to the ceiling
and launch many puffy spark balls at you. Get in the prone position on the
bottom because you have no idea where they are going to go. If one appears
above you stay there until it disappears. If there is enough room for you to
get up then get up. He may go to the ground and shoot ice across the whole
area. He does this three times, jump over it. Lastly, he may charge up energy
and then really fast launch it at you. This may take some practice to avoid.
You must wait just before he throws the energy at you and then jump to the
wall. The energy will go where you were previously standing if you’re fast
enough. He may do these moves in any order, so be vigilant. Always lay
charged up flamethrower shots into him when you can and he should die in less
than a minute or two.
-Random Creatures-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When he is gone you are taken to some sort of heart cavity. There are two pods
that spawn white spiders on each side of the cavity. Use the charged up
flamethrower blasts to blow them away, along with any white spiders that come.
Go under the pods and blast upwards. When all four are gone burn the heart
that is up above you. Occasionally some white spiders will come from the
ceiling and try to run into you so just burn them away. After some time the
heart blows away and you are taken to another area. In this area there are
what appear to be eyelids in the background and a giant worm tunneling
towards you. Burn its head with the flamethrower. It will wind around the area
taking up all the space it can, crunching you in to a tight spot You can
jump on its body but don’t touch its head. If you burn it constantly it will
blow off its head and go away. If not, it will start to retreat after awhile.
When the worm is gone you are taken to a third area. Two crab-like things
await you here. One is on the ceiling and one is on the floor.
-More Creatures-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Focus your attention to the one on the floor. Burn it with the flamethrower
constantly. When the top crab runs along the ceiling the bottom one will run
across the floor after it. You need to back up a little and jump over it.
When you’ve burned the bottom crab enough it will die. Now the top crab
becomes more active. When it’s on the ceiling blast it with the charged up
flamethrower shots until it tunnel away. If it appears on the top again get
in the prone position because it will swoop down towards you and barely miss
you if you are laying down. Then get back up and continue to blast it. If it
appears on the ground it may charge towards you. Lay down after jumping over
it because it will swoop backwards before turning around. It also may launch
lots of tiny gray balls into the air that you must dodge. Look for the gaps in
the falling debris and walk carefully. When the second crab it gone you are
taken to yet another area. In the background some weird looking plant is
running around. It appears in the screen from the right. As it crawls around
burn its inner core with the flamethrower. It then stretches it body and
pulls the top and bottom together. The ceiling is low now so grab onto it.
-The Big Boss-
^^^^^^^^^^^^
It then lets the top and bottom go and they return to their original spaces.
You need to be on the ceiling because the plant lets go a fire wave on the
bottom that incinerates the whole ground. You can jump over this wave if you
are lucky and have good timing, but it is extremely hard to do. Once the fire
is gone the plant will start to crawl around again revealing its inner core.
Burn it again and by the time it gets to the other side it should fall away
and die. If it doesn’t die it will fall to the ground and shoot a big blue
beam at you. Duck to avoid this and then jump when it charges at you. Finally
after the plant is a very strange clownish being with a crystal on its head.
You are hanging from an overhang that you must stay on. There are many parts
you must destroy before you take this guy down. First move over the left arm
and blast downwards with the charged up flamethrower blasts. It will come out
after awhile and begin to wind around the beam you are hanging from. Move in
one of the spaces it creates without touching it. Use the machinegun to shoot
at the clowns eyes. You should be able to take one of its eyes out. The arm
will now retreat back into its socket.
-Killing it-
^^^^^^^^^^
The arm on the other side will now come after you and wind around the beam
like the first one did. Get in the space that it provides and shoot out the
second eye with the machinegun. Now that both eyes are gone the crystal will
shoot out five blasts at you that are pretty easy to avoid. Focus your
attention to blasting the left arm with the charged up flamethrower shots until
it is destroyed. Then do the same for the right arm. The only thing left now
is to take the crystal out. Blast the crystal with the charged up flamethrower
shots. You must be careful though because where the arms were some things
will happen. Either a blue beam will shoot and attach to the beam. You must
not touch this and it makes it harder to avoid the pink shots that the crystal
is constantly pumping out at you. The arms will also let little ying-yang
things that fly around randomly and try to hit you. Use the flamethrower to
burn them away. If you keep pumping the crystal with charged up flamethrower
shots it should be killed in no time.

-Battling the Helicopter-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Look out at that orange sky. You’re also on top of your airplane. That blue
robot that got crushed by the turtle in the first level is flying around in
the background. The robot lets off some missiles but you shoot a mine that
attracts them away. The robot then shoot a round of missiles across the top of
the plane. Jump in one of the gaps as the missiles come towards you. After
that the robot will open up and put its legs out. It will come above you and
force fields will shoot out of its legs. Don’t touch them or you will die. It
will also launch homing missiles after you. Use the flamethrower and burn its
legs. It will start to move across the plane, so move with it and burn it at
the same time. The flame will take care of any missiles that come after you
and damage the legs at the same time. When the legs are damaged enough the
robot will fly away. Your camera angle changes to the side view and the robot
appears again. Now it turns from a helicopter to a roboman as it lands on the
plane. Jump and shoot its mid section with charged up flamethrower shots when
it shoots little blasts across the plane top. It will then transform into the
helicopter again and fly away.
-Into the Abyss-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Move to the other side of the plane now. The robot will transform again but
this time land on the other side of the plane attached to the front. It will
let out a giant blue laser so you must get in the prone position to avoid it.
Stay there and charge up mine shots and shoot the homing missiles at him. It
will again fly away and come back standing up. Sometimes he appear facing his
back to you giving you ample opportunity to hit him from behind and he can’t
do nothing about it. When he is damaged enough he will start to smoke and try
to fly away. You just ram right through him with your airplane as you enter a
portal in the sky. You are now in some very strange place with a weird looking
alien thing. Start by blasting him with the charged up flamethrower shots .
He will disappear and appear in one of the corners. He throws two pink balls
at you that you must jump over, hopefully, it is rather hard. Then he
disappears and appears in one of the top corners. His arm turns into a very
long blade and shoots at you very fast. His final attack is to appear above
you and strike his arm blade down towards you. You know he is going to shoot
it when you are directly blow him, so watch out. Once you’ve blasted him
enough he will turn into a frog.
-Different Forms-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When the frog first appears blast it with the charged up flamethrower shots.It
will swim away and appear in the right corner. Get to the left side and get
ready to lay some more blasts into him. The first thing the frog does when he
appears is barfs a long stream that you can only avoid by being on the left
side. After that he will let out some things that look like red bones. As you
blast the frog you also are blasting the bones that are coming ever closer to
you. As you hit the bones they shrink, you must hit them enough to shrink
them so you can jump over them before they grow again. Once you have jumped
over around five of them the frog swims away again. It will then charge at
you. If it comes above you blast it upwards. If it come below you blast it and
then jump over it. If it comes directly at you shoot it then get in the prone
position. After that it will come in on the left side of the screen and start
to send its bones after you again. When the frog has had enough it will turn
into a jellyfish.
-Taking it Down-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All the jellyfish does is float around above you and let mushrooms go. Blast
the mushrooms to get rid of them but don’t be under them because they come
flying down when you have killed them. Blast the jellyfish with the charged up
flamethrower shots while avoiding the mushrooms. Every now and then the
jellyfish will swoop below you, just jump over him, what and attack, oooh!
When it is done it turns into an ameba. Duck in the corner and angle your shot
to damage it with the machinegun. The core of the ameba is its weak zone. In
order to hit the weak zone you need to push its body in on itself. The
constant fire of the machinegun makes short work of this guy. The only thing
that can hurt you is it sends out pink stars that fly towards you, the
machinegun fire takes care of them, too. If you are slow the ameba floats
around and comes towards you, but that is rare to be that slow. When the ameba
is damaged enough you will be taken inside its core. Switch to your mines and
get under the center of the core. Above you is a swarm of tiny little
critters that you don’t want to jump in to. From under the center shoot the
mines up into it. Keep doing that and the little critters will sometimes come
down to swarm around you. Get out you flamethrower and go wild killing all of
them before they kill you. When the core is damaged enough it will kill the
ameba.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
{FINAL BATTLE}
&&&&&&&&&&&&
-Back for Revenge-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As the ameba explodes you escape on your airplane. But the creatures aren’t
going to let you go without a fight. As you escape the explosion all three of
the alien, frog and jellyfish are joined into one sick creature that is now
coming after you. Blast the creature with the charged up flamethrower shots
constantly. It will throw pink balls at you that bounce on the ground. They
bounce high so go under them as the bounce. It will sometimes pull away and
the frogs mouth shoots some fireballs at you. Either lay down as they pass
over you or jump them. After a rather long time the creature will be killed.
But it isn’t over yet. He will attach to the back of the plane and attempt
to pull you in to the blast that is coming your way. Shoot him off and you
fly to safety.
