1. Even though I don't generally like Star Wars, those two people who reviewed
it said it was pretty decent. Along with the fact I'm always trying new games,
they both combined together into this FAQ. Everyone always grafts off the 'Luke
I am your father', it gets annoying at times but still pretty livable. Get
ready for some challenges; this isn't easy as lots of enemies often crowd the
screen, in an effort to destroy you. Change the difficulty in the options if
you want, then hit start.
2. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Episode IV
A New Hope
It is a period of civil wars. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base,
have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to
destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore
freedom to the entire galaxy...
Then you see a fighter craft firing shots at a space station.
3. Dune Sea
Luke Ready! Blast your first critter, a red scorpion for a heart. Run past and
shoot at the flying harpies for hearts if you need them, as well as some points.
When you come to the 1st sand pit, stand in front of the scorpion then when it
comes blast it away. Go up the dune and blast the giant scorpion for 100 points
then shoot the little scorpions that come out of it. Double flip at the top for
a big heart. Grab the gun upgrade and test it on the hopping dragonflies. Move
cautiously and draw your gun quickly when the hopping dragonflies come out.
Don't stand on the top or the sand worm will throw you. Next there are about
three giant scorpions and flying harpies. There are about two giant scorpions
coming up then a sand worm followed by another two more giant scorpions. Deal
with these menaces hastily. Past another sand pit are two giant scorpions then
two more and the boss.
SARLACC PIT MONSTER
This is probably the parent of the sand worms, but about 10 times larger. The
best strategy is to keep blasting. Dodge the sand balls he coughs out and watch
for the sand tentacles he uses to feel around. When the tentacles come out
double jump across the screen then shoot shots away. Another good way is if he
emerges on top of you, jump away then launch some more energy at him from behind
while he's busy hitting the air. After he destructs, watch the little intro.
4. Head Towards Sandcrawler
This is probably the best level in the game for me anyways. Press the turbo
button and hold it down. Those little canisters you see are jet fuel
containers. Jawas is pretty much well off, with his 12 lives and all. Don't
hit the rocks, as they take off health. To top it off, other guys on jet craft
are trying to blast you, along with the green monsters. Every time you blast
the guys you get a big heart. The guys drop mines into your path. Shoot the
towers for fuel. Hold down and turbo for a safe ride at the top but be sure to
pick up fuel. After 12 long fuel tanks run out, especially with the long
lasting last two tanks.
5. Outside Sandcrawler
Luke Ready! Blasting the two first monks you can get various items, mainly a
health sword or a time bonus or a detonator. The tank has two sets of hatches,
left and right. Take out the left ones then ignore the up symbol and take out
the right. Now jump up then right and take out the next circle guns. Then
bound over left and blast the circles. Your gun is upgraded to seeker, instead
of flame. Use it on the hood guy then leap from steel platform and shoot the
two circles. When you reach the top blast the hood guy. Shoot and jump left on
the gears, you have to take out each of the small boxes to get the machine
operating. When you reach the very top, take the big heart then shoot all of
the four ground turrets before they have a chance to fire. With your guns
blazing, after seven more turrets jump down into the end of this stage.
6. Inside Sandcrawler
Luke Ready! After the long fall, welcome some hooded guys the only way you know
how. Decimate their population and take their items such as, 2x bonus, time
bonus, shields and thermal detonator, health swords + hearts. After awhile,
you'll see an upgrade, which is the rapid ion. It shoots very fast. Simply
fire at the steel doors to open them; this next part is really difficult. Jump
from platform to platform, while dodging fire bursts and destructing the little
turrets and hooded figures. If you're good, at the top make the regular jump
for a big heart. Shoot open the door and blast two up and down machines. Use
them to get across the spikes. Destroy four more while dodging proton beams and
fire bursts. At the bottom do away with the robots and to get past the force
field press down and after then the B button. Do away with more robots then use
the slide method mentioned. Try to do it without taking any damage. Slide
under another green field then stand on the escalator and leap before you hit
the spikes. Jump over the proton beams and fire at the top holding, not the
machine itself. It will destruct and leave you a big heart. Get ready because
there is another one. Remember, fire at the part that holds it in mid-air.
Then prepare to dispatch another one. Slide under the giant presses carefully.
After that's done time the fire bursts and move down for another proton gun.
When he is gun stand on the platform above the green miscreation and discharge
ions. He forks over an upgrade to a plasma gun and a big heart. Leap across
the falling platforms and take the health swords and big hearts. When going
down the escalator, hold the control pad to the right. Make regular jumps, not
flips. Pick off all of the laser turrets and fare right to find this bum.
LAVA BEAST JAWENKO
What a wonderful product of graphics. Seriously though, here's the best way to
beat him. Watch out for his lava beams, jump over some and fire. Stand on the
right edge of whatever platform your on. Trigger plasma bursts at him but be
careful to not fall into the lava, as soon as you do you die. If you do this,
he'll descend back into the magma in no time. Also watch out on the edge, since
the lava can come from anywhere. After he's gone, hop over to meet a certain
robot.
7. Land of the Sandpeople
Luke Ready! Shoot the unfriendly hopper and be careful not to step in his
remains, they're quite sticky. Rapidly move on the corroding bridge to avoid
being dashed on the stalagmites below. Slay two hooded figures and blast the
oncoming boulders and hopper. Move down the ramp and blast the boulder into
fragments if it comes too close. Take out more hooded guys and get a big heart.
The lots of hood men help to boost your health and if you need them jump for
three big hearts. Remember these dragonflies? Bash them and a sand worm and
some armored men. Shoot the stalactites or just run under. Stifle another sand
worm then head up the moving rock pieces. Take out the two hooded guys for a
big heart. Slide under the shifting rock and leap across the decaying
platforms. Brush off the tall guy and run under some more stalagmites. Blast a
sand worm, hooded figure, another sand worm, hopping dragonflies and riflemen +
more hooded figures. At the edge of the cliff, if you stop for the riflemen
they will never stop coming. It's the same thing as before, except with flying
harpies. When you don't see any more rocks, step right and land on more.
Continue this to find Ben Kinobi, whoever he is. Cool, now you finally receive
your Light Saber.
8. Land of the Banthas
Luke Ready! You continue where Ben once was, advance on and swing your saber at
the dearth of riflemen. Pretty soon you find a Bantha, which is basically a
giant mammoth that can ram you. Just keep pressing A and they will disappear.
They in this case mean about four, then corroding bridges with lots of riflemen
to boot. At the end drop down then scurry left. Snatch the heart and
annihilate more riflemen. Drop down then left and hit the wall for some health,
you'll need it. Now push on right to find the big guy, the big cheese, the head
honcho.
MUTANT WOMPRAT
This thing resembles a giant rat in visage and countenance. His stretching
arms, prehensile tail and all around ugliness makes him deadly. Dodge all these
factors as best as you can, especially the ugly part. To help you out, the
small Womprats supply hearts for you. The way to defeat him is to jump and
swing your saber at him then retreat. If a small Womprat comes toward you take
it then quickly hit the big one. After you hit it, it retreats then comes back
for more. If your reflexes are good you can trap it in a corner and swing away.
Be warned, your health will drop faster than a stock percentage.
9. Head Towards Mos Eisley
The ride last longer this time, but still good clean fun nonetheless. Instead
of 12 fuel cans, it's 20. If you need help, consult #4, if you don't use the
turbo at the small numbers, you'll get there quickly. It's the same as before
just more rocks, Womprats and jet craft.
10. Mos Eisley
Luke Ready! If you didn't die yet, now you have four lives. Deprive the lots
of space warriors of life then pick up the things they drop. If you stand on
the spiked plants too long, you'll perish. Now there are space warriors
operating homing missiles, firearms and hooded figures. Jump over both dead
dinosaurs. After scores of more warriors you'll leap over another dinosaur. A
long distance away and you'll find another hooded guy. Further on hop over
another dead dinosaur and unleash your fury on all the space warriors. Meet a
shaggy looking guy at the end. At the select screen, stick with either Luke
Skywalker or choose Chewbacca. You will go to the same place anyways. I
recommend Luke.
11. Cantina Fight
I take it back this is my favorite level. Whether you are Chewbacca or Luke,
you'll have a blasting good time. The music here really highlights the saloon
style fight.
KALHAR BOSS MONSTER
This is a mammoth of a boss, hulking muscles and a snakelike head. What can I
say, just blast him back and back until he is gone. Your plasma blaster is more
suitable than the saber if you are Luke. Jump over his hands and neck when he
lunges them out. Chewbacca really is sorry here, with his weak crossbow. The
absolutely best way is to jump while firing shots and occasionally pushing him
back so he doesn't sprint back up to you. After this behemoth falls, Han Solo
is added to the roster.
12. Escape from Mos Eisley
Han Ready! For real, this guy is all that and a bag of, popcorn. He starts off
with a plasma gun and he is just slamming. When you are on the top windowsills,
stay there since it is an easier route than the bottom. Dispatch the armored
warriors efficiently then fight a maintenance droid. Every time you blast
something off of it, its health comes back. It does this three times then after
push on. This place should read 'hazardous for your health'. The metal claws
that grab you, ion beams and lots of warriors aren't exactly easy. The claws
can be taken out, oh yeah the bombs that detonate too. If you look you can find
health swords. The bottom yields more beams and fare right. You can take out
the bombs before they explode on you though. Pretty soon you'll encounter three
ion lasers, a diamond laser and a metal grabber. Shoot the barrels and maybe
you'll get a big heart. Run on past the bombs to discover a large piece of
machinery.
HOVER COMBAT CARRIER
You have to blast each of the pieces off. There's a certain place you can stand
and no beams will touch you. So start with the first fuel exhaust and once it's
gone work on the top part. Once those two are gone, expel plasma at the middle
turret. Finish that then get the right fuel exhaust. Get the right top, and
laugh as it has nothing to shoot at you with and careens over the entire screen.
Put the guys who are flying it out of their misery and wipe the sweat off your
hands.
13. Death Star Hangar Bay
Han Ready! You are now in the Death Star and a little dish comes up. Grab the
heart and blaster power-up + thermal detonator. Jump over the square hole you
see and grab the rapid-ion gun. Every time that big thing whizzes by you lose
health. Remember, if you are moving it won't affect you. Spring from platform
to platform and see a spider-like robot. Immediately destroy it and the flying
radars. Move much faster now, since the big thing is whizzing faster. Grab the
plasma gun finally, and then reunite with the space warriors. Some of them want
to hurt you so bad they drop into the holes! The big dish returns, and you'll
find an extra life on a platform. A turret will rise out of a hole, along with
some space warriors and spider-robots. Push on and you'll approach some more
advanced machinery, make sure you have a full health bar for this one.
IMPERIAL DEFENSE DROID
Basically, when the top isn't open, it is pretty much invincible. When the top
does open, a homing missile pops out. Besides that, it has a stretch claw,
leaping stomp and that's about it. Sometimes it'll just jump bound back and
forth attempting to hit you. Should be a slice of pie.
14. Rescue of the Princess
Luke Ready! Break out the saber or plasma gun and use it on the laser turrets.
Jog past the various machines and move expeditiously under the giant press
machine. Maneuver under another one then zip up all the elevators. At the top
you'll find an arachnid robot and more giant presses. Up more elevators there a
robot is waiting for you. More robots supply hearts with tons of lasers
bouncing around. Up some elevators the alien-robots give big hearts with space
warriors. Four more giant presses and past them is a large round machine.
DETENTION GUARD BOSS
Detention? Err. It just flies around, making large space beams at you and two
homing missiles. Also it throws down firebombs so dodge them. When it opens
project plasma to your full extent. Sometimes space warriors will drop in and
supply some hearts. All the energy is gone down, so it compacts into a smaller
machine. Take that out too and move on to the end.
15. Tractor Beam Core
Take care, to take out the spider-robot. Then demolish the space warrior, and
go from platform. Shoot the rocket man off his perch and jump from there to
another escalator. There are literally hundreds of lasers, firing left and
right. Pretty soon after you dust a rocket man you'll obtain a thermal
detonator. On the big elevator an indicator will indicate the tractor beam
power level. Use the alien robots to power yourself up. Fire at it then after
a little health is gone you get fired at. This thing has a life of it's own!
It uses fission, which means it splits the atoms in the center and in turn they
split, harming you. If you want it done hastily stand at the top and just let
loose. Don't get too trigger happy, or you'll be done quickly. The easiest way
without being harmed is stand directly under it and fire upwards. It's not that
hard. The FMV spouts a catch phrase that I'm sure you've heard before.
16. Space Mission
The death star is huge! The object here is to lower the towers and ties down to
00. This is one of the only easy things here, so it shouldn't be bad at all.
After that's done you have to blast more ties out of the air in a simulator type
thing. Now it gets difficult, since you have to blast the enemy aircraft and
the bombs they shoot at you. You have to last until it hits the zero so good
luck. The green rectangles in the middle indicate how many times until your
ship blows up. You should only take about 1 hit for every 1000. When you hit
about 2000 you'll see the ship that is shooting the balls at you. Hit the ship
in the middle so it can't shoot that many balls at you. After the big fighter
craft is gone press right (the button, not the control pad) and two purple
lasers will go inside the fuel pipes. If you messed up you'll have to ruin the
towers and then dodge more blasts. YAY! The DEATH STAR is destroyed!
Well that's it folks, the game is finished. Hope you have had a good time, I
know I did.
Final Score: 133850
