                          |        Stage 1       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST01---------+

Take this moment to get use to your controls. Head to the right and stop when
you come to the short wall. Jump onto it and then drop off to the left and
duck. A thug will jump onto the wall and begin firing. You should be low
enough that he won't be able to hit you but you can hit him.

With the thug defeated hop over the wall and stop when you come to a hallway.
Move closer and closer to the hall until a spiked ball drops from the ceiling.
If you went slowly enough then the ball will have missed you. Move a few more
inches slowly to the right for another ball to drop.

Continue to go slowly down the hall for the third, and final, spiked ball to
drop from the ceiling. After passing it you can then walk/run at your prefered
speed. When you reach the next building stop when you are below the first
ledge.

Shoot the thug thats on the ledge above you to defeat him. Now jump onto the
platform on the right and then onto the elevator. When the elevator goes as
high as it will jump onto the platform on the left. From the ledge shoot at
a thug thats on a ledge a bit higher than where you are.

After that thug is defeated hop onto one of the higher ledges on the left and
shoot upwards to take out a thug on the left platform. When this thug is
defeated jump onto the moving platform and then the platform to the right and
then left.

On the left platform destroy the box to get the C Weapon. Continue to climb
ledges. Stop righ beneath the ledge that extends all the way from the left to
right. Kill the thug that is on this ledge then hop up onto it. Hop onto the
platform, but be quick because it will begin to drop to the right ledge.

As soon as you jump onto the moving platform a thug will drop down from above.
From the ledge on the right jump to the elevator to the left. At the top a
thug will drop down from the top of the screen. Ignore him and jump onto the
top right ledge.

Destroy the two crates to get an S Weapon. Run along the next bridge. Be
careful for each statue. As soon as you get close enough its mouth will open
and send out electricity. At the end of the bridge you'll see a blimp.

                               Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 2       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST02---------+

This is a simple, linear level. Keep running to the right. Take out any Grunts
that will hop off of the blimp along the way. Break any crates you may find
to get more Weapons that will help you combat the Grunts. Also try to stay
on the top section of the level.

                               Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |     Boss Fight 1     |
                          |                      |
                          +---------BF01---------+

This level is only a boss fight. You and the boss both have a number which is
50,000. You have to attack him until he has no health left. If your number
counter hits zero you will die. The Boss has one main attack. He will shoot
out a stream of fire balls.

As well as having to watch out for this attack he can also summon a small army
of robots to come down from the sky. As long as you strike quickly you will
damage him more than you. After he is defeated you will have completed yet
another stage.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 3       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST03---------+

Jump over the fire and land on the moving platform. Wait until it reaches the
the highers part of the trach jump over the fire to the right. Go to the edge
of the pit where theres an electric current in and crouch down and shoot to
the right. You should have hit a barrel which will come flying towards you.

Hop over it right as it is about to hit you. Now jump the electric current.
As soon as you reach the other side a thug will jump onto the screen. Defeat
him and jump onto the next moving platform. Wait for the closest/highest spot
on the track.

Once the platform reaches it jump to the right. On the next platform hop over
the small ledge and land on another moving platform. Just as it is about to
go down jump to solid ground. Another thug will jump onscreen. Defeat him and
continue to the right.

At the end of the hall will be a barrel and a thug. Defeat the thug and should
you accidently shoot the barrel be ready to jump it. Enter into the next room
and watch the floor above for any thugs. If you spot a thug shoot through the
floor and at them.

When you reach another electric current jump over it and on the other side
ride the elevator up to the next floor. On the next floor kill the thug on the
top right corner. Go to the left and kill the thug next to the elevator on the
next floor. Ride the elevator that is in between fires to the next floor.

Jump onto the platform and then to the next hall. Quickly run to the moving
platform above the electric current then drop into the hole. Be quick so that
you don't get hit by a barrel that comes from the right and left. Kill the
thug the ride the platform out of the hole. Continue down the hall.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 4       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST04---------+

For this level you will have a hover bike. This is a straight foward level.
Fly through/destroy all of the mines. Don't get too close to them after
destroying them because the may produce a purple gas. After the mines will
be thugs on hover bikes. After the bikes will be soldiers with jet packs.

Once past the soldiers with jet packs you'll have to fight mech soldiers.
The screen will stop and three mech soldiers will appear. Keep firing at them
while avoiding their rockets. After destroying one it will be easier to dodge
rockets.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 5       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST05---------+

Destroy the box at the starting point. Get close to the snowman and then run
to the left. Its head will melt and will be replaces with a bomb. After the
bomb blows up continue to the right. For this Stage a constant stream of
grenades will come up from the bottom of the screen.

The grenades won't hurt you when they come up. Its when they come down you
need to be careful of. Run up the slope to find a wind ghost. I call it a
ghost beause it reminds me of the Ghost of Christmas Future from A Christmas
Carol.

Get close to the ghost and start shooting. When it sends out a mini twister
jump over it once for when it goes by and again when it returns to the ghost.
Continue down the slope and jump over the hole. On the other side kill another
wind ghost.

Break the next box you find. There will be a snowman nearby but its head won't
explode. Jump over the large gap and on the other side kill the wind ghost on
the tree. With the ghost kill continue past the tree to find a snowman. Run
to the left because its head will explode.

Once past the snowman there will be another wind ghost. Destroy it and
continue to the broken bridge. There will be a snowman on it thats head
explodes. Get close so that the fuse will start then run away. With it gone
jump onto the first plank to spot a wind ghost.

Kill it and then continue across the bridge. On the other side will be a
snowman whose head explodes. Run down the the bridge to find another snowman.
There are three planks with a snowman on each whose head will explode. Jump
to the plank with a snowman on it and then jump back a plank.

Continue to the other side and kill the wind ghost on the tree. Run by the
snowman at the bottom of the tree then run away as its head explodes. Go to
the right and kill the wind ghost across the gap. Once its killed hop over
the gap and run off the screen to the right.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 6       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST06---------+

Yet another straight foward level. Jump to each car while taking out any
enemies on hover bikes above. If you get the C Weapon keep it. It helps the
most in destroying the missles the hover bikes send out. When you reach
some cars with coal a new enemy will appear.

I'll refer to them as coal monsters. There will be three coal monsters on two
cars each. Destroy them as well as watching for missles from hover bikes
above. Jump from the second car with coal on it to reach the engine of the
train.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 7       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST07---------+

This is a very simple level. The screen will be continuously moving to the
right so you will to be able to kill the next enemy before you run into
them. The jetpack guards in this level can only be damaged by shooting them
in their chest.

At the end of the hall step onto the elevator. When it begins to go up a mine
dropper will begin to drop mines that will explode after a few seconds. Avoid
the falling mines until the elevator stops at the top floor. Run along the
hall to the right and on the next elevator kill the boss.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |     Boss Fight 2     |
                          |                      |
                          +---------BF02---------+

A constant stream of missles will rain down from the ceiling. Once again both
you and the boss will have 50,000 points. If you deplete all of your own you
will die. Deplete all of your opponents and it will be defeated. There are two
gaps in the floor with a small platform in the middle of the room.

If you stand on that platform too long then the boss will stop above you and
send out a blue light that will greatly drain your health. The boss will also
send out a flame as it moves to the left and right while fire balls will come
up from the ground. Stay on the left or right side and attack.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 8       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST08---------+

This a very simple level. Just make your way from ledge to ledge. In between
each platform will be a diver. Wait for them to jump out of the water and then
attack. With them defeat continue along. When you stand in water the current
will pull you along.

Also be careful for any mines that should drop down from the waterfalls. You
can walk past them but if they drop off screen they will explode and the
explosion will rise and may hurt you. At the last ledge run off screen to the
right.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |        Stage 9       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST09---------+

This is the same as level 4. For this level you will have a hover bike. This
is a straight foward level. Fly through/destroy all of the mines. Don't get
too close to them after destroying them because the may produce a purple gas
that will damage you.

After the mines will be thugs on hover bikes. After the bikes will be soldiers
with jet packs. Once past the soldiers with jet packs you'll have to fight mech
soldiers. The screen will stop and mech soldiers will appear. Keep firing at
them while avoiding their rockets.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |       Stage 10       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST10---------+

This is a simple level. Crouch in the bottom left corner of the screen and
let the screen move you. Most of the barrels will bounce over your head. For
the ones that don't keep shooitng at them to bounce them away. Occasionally
some thugs will jump onto the screen.

When you reach some force fields slide under each bar. Once past all of them
jump to each platform. Some of them are moving platforms and others will
begin to drop the moment you step on them. When you reach the brick building
run off screen to the right.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |       Stage 11       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST11---------+

For this level you will be chased down by a giant tank moving to the left.
Stay underneath the demo man throwing pipe bombs over the side and shoot up at
him. Be careful for the spiked balls that will occasionally drop in the front
of the tank and fire in the back.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |       Stage 12       |
                          |                      |
                          +---------ST12---------+

This is an extremely short level. Kill any thugs that cross you way and be
careful for the line of droids that will occasionally come from the top of the
screen and form an arch. Avoid these because if they touch you, you will
instantly die.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |     Boss Fight 3     |
                          |                      |
                          +---------BF03---------+

The first boss fight against the Joker. He will be in a robot clown head that
moves back and forth. A wall of fire will appear on either the left or right
side and will shoot out three fire balls. Run in the opposite direction and
after the third ball jump over it towards whatever direction the wall is.

After avoiding several walls of fire the robotic clown face will move it and
Joker will begin to toss bombs out of the mouth of the face. Stand below him
and shoot upwards. You can also destroy some of the bombs by shooting at them.
You will have to go through several phases until he dies.

                                Stage Clear!

                          +----------------------+
                          |     Boss Fight 4     |
                          |                      |
                          +---------BF04---------+

Ah the final confrontation with the Joker. This is a simple boss fight as long
as you attack first and quickly. Climb the bars on the left or right and shoot
at the clown robot's mouth. If the laser sword blocks your shots move to a
different spot and then shoot from there.

Thanks to Batman, the good citizens of Gotham City can sleep peacefully,
knowing that the Joker is now locked away where he can never work his evil
again...or is he?
