I. Introduction
Welcome to my FAQ! VectorMan 2 is a great 2d shooter for the Sega
Genesis. That game is a lot of fun to play, with some pretty nifty game
ideas. Anyway, the plot:
VectorMan is flying his ship and gets hit by an unknown foe. He
has to abadon his ship only to find that the world is now inhabited
with giant
mutantic bugs. VectorMan now has to save Earth... again!
Version History:
V1.0 (January 13, 2002) - Everything is new. Expect a few more
updates after this one.
What to expect in next version:
- More "vital" information
- Clearer walkthroughs
- Walkthroughs for levels that have none
II. Controls
Control Pad - Move VectorMan, direct the fire of his attacks
A, B button - Fire your weapon (NOTE: depends on powerup)
C Button - Jump(press again after Jump to Double Jump)
Start - Pause Game
III. Walkthrough
(NOTE: This walkthrough is only to guide you through the level and
find the exit, not necessarily to collect every item, destroy every
powersac, or find every photon. I may add another section later on if I
feel like it with this information. Also, this guide assumes you will
kill enemies you encounter and pick up obvious powersacs and photons)
Scene 1 - Geronimo
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs - 0
Walkthrough:
This level is pretty easy. Float your way down to the surface by
following the path of photons. Kill the bugs that get close to you (TIP:
Hold in C to hover VectorMan, this is useful in shooting bugs and
aiming). You shouldn't have much trouble.
Scene 2 -
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
From the start, travel right to the first pillar where you will
fall down a hole. Head right, you will pass a moving platform, until you
pass 3 Powerpods. There should be a dead end to the right of the third
powerpod. Wait for the moving platform to come down and jump onto it.
Wait till it gets as high as it can go and double jump out of the hole.
Go right again. When you reach a bunch of photons in a "V" shape, there
will be a hole underneath them. Fall down that hole and continue to
follow the path that you can go(you can only go one way). When you are
able to go left and right, head left. When you see more mushrooms, jump
on the first one, and double jump to the topmost right-hand corner.
Blast down the wall and destroy the powerpod at the end of the tunnel.
This powerpod contains an extra life. Retrace your steps and go right.
You should find another platform down the tunnel, jump onto it, double
jump out of the hole to the right and you've completed the stage!
Scene 3 - Bog Jam
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is a pretty long level, and this walkthrough is pretty
confusing. I'll try my best, though. Jump on the first branch of the
first tree you see to the right. "Climb" up the tree until its not
possible for you to go any higher. Jump to the right (double jump) and
land on a crooked branch. Continue up this tree, until you see a branch
that connects two trees ("bridge"). On that branch, jump left and land
on another "bridge". Head left and double jump to the branch above it.
Double jump over to a pair of upside down crooked branches. Double Jump
to the left. Double jump to the right and climb up it until you reach
another "bridge" branch. Go up by jumping on the alternating trees until
you reach 2 parallel "bridges". Go right until you finish the
stage(there's a powersac along the way, partially covered by moss, it
contains an extra life).
Scene 4 - In Blackest Night
Boss Match # 1
Destroy these two heads by shooting them. Beware to not touch
them. This boss shouldn't be too bad.
Scene 5 - Fired
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is a pretty straightforward level. Just continue right,
avoiding bug attacks and the lava (TIP: if you collect the scorpion
power-up, you can walk on the lava). You should climb up a "mountain"
and go down it along the way.
Bonus Level - Tubular
After Scene 5, you will be taken to a bonus level. Attack the bugs
with your ship as you fly through a tube. Collect as many photons as you
can and rack up a high score. The more "clocks" you collect, the more
time you will have. If you do well enough, you will eventually finish
the Bonus level like any of the other stages. This is a great way to get
extra lives and points.
Scene 6 - Magma P.I.
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
At the start, climb up until you reach the top of the mountain.
Head right and fall down when you see a lava waterfall. When you back to
the bottom, journey to the right. Climb up a small mound, and you will
see some rock blocking your path on the top of the hill. Jump and shoot
downwards to open the hole up and fall down and head to the right to
finish this stage.
Scene 7 - Turn Up the Heat
Boss Battle # 3
This level is pretty hard. This lava monster will charge move in
one direction so shoot it a few times and jump. DON'T get caught in the
corner and don't land in the lava. After a few hits, it will go down.
Scene 8 - Orbit Express
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is the first skating level. Obviously, you're on skates and
move much quicker than on foot. All skating levels are short, but not
necessarily easy. Skate your way to the right, the entire level, trying
to avoid getting hit by the flying and jumping bugs.
Scene 9 - Dirty Job
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
Travel to the right until you're on top of a dirt mound. Jump and
shoot downwards and carve a path below you. Do the same on the next dirt
mound and then make a path to the right. It gets a little tricky after
this. Make a path upward, using the metal platforms to help you. Go to
the right and go to the open platform to end the level.
Scene 10 - Vectorman 1 2 3
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
This is another skating level, second so far. Keep going right and
avoid the bugs.
Scene 11 - I can dig it
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
From the get-go, shoot your way to the right. When you reach a
clearing in the rocks, fall down. Shoot your way to the right and you'll
reach a small opening. Stand there and thats the end of the level.
Scene 12 - Rollerderby
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
Another skating level. Use the same strategy as the first two and
head right.
Scene 13 - Mist Chances
Vital Information:
Photons -
Powersacs -
Walkthrough:
You'll be falling in the beginning. When you land, go to the right
and pass green rocks in the ground. Jump on the wall to the right of
them. Jump up to the left and head go up a series of platforms until you
reach the top level. Go right and hop to the left. Go up another series
of platforms to jump up towards the right to reach a new level. Go right
to finish the level.
