1.      Introduction to the Game.
Spiderman: The Movie game for GBA was released on
4/18/02.  It was to be released at the same time as the
movie to boost popularity.  It is rated "E" for everyone,
because of Violence.  The Story Introduction on the back
says:

"Bitten by a genetically engineered spider, high school
student Peter Parker is suddenly empowered with
supernatural abilities, including Spider-Sense, Web-
Slinging, and Wall-Crawling.  Assume the role of Parker
as he adapts to his new powers and becomes Spider-Man.
But beware-the city's villains won't be pleased to see a
new hero on the scene."

This game has 11 levels.  Good luck!


2.      Introduction to this FAQ.
This FAQ was written by me on 5/15/03 to answer all the
questions about the Bosses the players ask on the Message
Board.


3.      Bosses Introduction.

VULTURE
Originally an electrical engineer, Adrian Toomes was also
a budding inventor of considerable skill.  Early in his
career he created an electro magnetically powered harness
that gave the ability of flight to anyone who wore it.
The power he felt after donning the device led him down
the dark path of crime and corruption, resulting in the
birth of the Vulture.

KRAVEN
The son of a Russian aristocrat, Sergei Kravinoff found
that he had a great talent at an early age: hunting.
After meeting a witch doctor on an expedition in Africa,
Kraven ingested a herbal potion which enhanced his
physical powers.  Kraven is swifter than the falcon and
more agile than a jungle cat.

SHOCKER
An unsuccessful burglar, Herman Shultz developed the
infamous Vibro-Shock units during an extended stay in
prison.  These units can create high-pressure air blasts
that are very destructive.  They can also deflect blows
aimed at him.  When coupled with a uniform of foam-lined
fabric, he can be a very difficult foe to deal with.

SCORPION
MacDonald "Mac" Gargan became the Scorpion after chemical
and radiological treatments caused a mutagenic change in
his DNA.  Similar to Spider-Man, Mac's mutated DNA imbued
him with superhuman strength, speed, and agility.
Shortly after his mutation, Gargan was physically bonded
to a biomechanical battle suit created especially for
him.  It was at this time that the Scorpion was truly
born.  Attached to his battle armor is a 7-foot tail,
which is cybernetically controlled.  The tip of his tail
has a spike that can fire force blasts.

M.E.C.H. (Mega Electric Creature Hunter)
The M.E.C.H. unit was devised by Norman Osborn to track
down and "remove" any threat to his company.  It is the
ultimate robotic sentry.  And boy, is it a tough one!

GREEN GOBLIN
The co-owner of a leading military high-tech corporation,
Norman Osborn was less obsessed with money and more
obsessed with power.  His desire to complete his
experimental "human performance enhancer" drove him to
desperate measures.  It was supposed to increase the
intellect and physical strength of an ordinary human
being to breed a new race of super-soldiers.  With OsCorp
on the verge of bankruptcy, Osborn became impatient.  He
decided to become the first human test subject.  The
effects gave him superhuman strength and drove him to
madness.  Since that day he became the arch-enemy of
Spider-Man.  His wide array of weaponry includes Pumpkin-
Bombs, Gas Bombs, Electro Gloves, and the deadly Goblin-
Glider.


DIFFICULTY
*=Very Easy
**=Easy
***=Medium
****=Hard
*****=Very Hard


4. VULTURE - **
This Boss is easy.  From the beginning, go to one of the
lower corners on the level.  Whenever the Vulture is
near, punch and kick wildly.  You'll hit him most of the
time and he'll go away for a while.  He'll get to you
sometimes, but he won't cause that much damage.


     5.KRAVEN (1st time) - ****
This Boss is kind of hard for beginners.  The first thing
you should do is turn on the light.  Remember, turning
the lights on is very important because you can't damage
Kraven in the dark.  Don't stay up on the ceiling because
he can stab you with his knife.  When he throws his
darts, jump onto the ceiling.  Then jump back down and
hit him.  Then dodge his next attack.  When he jumps into
the air to stab you, go right under him.  Then turn
around fast and QCF Kick his sorry ass.  Repeat the
process over and over again until he is dead.


IMPORTANT!!!!!
THE QCF KICK IS A BIT HARD TO PULL OFF.  TO DO IT, PRESS
THE DOWN BUTTON, THEN THE RIGHT BUTTON WHILE HOLDING DOWN
THE B BUTTON.  (REMEMBER TO DO THIS VERY FAST.)


6. SHOCKER - ****
To beat this boss, you have to be fast.  First, go right
up to him and shoot a POWER WEBBING at the ceiling.  Do
this by pressing the Up Button and the R Button at the
same time.  The ceiling should come down on Shocker and
shave off one third of his life.  Do this three times to
win.


7. GREEN GOBLIN (1st time) - ****
You start off in the lower left corner.  Right at the
beginning the Goblin is going to charge you.  When he is
in range, punch, kick, and web him wildly.  He will
retreat.
The he'll charge you again.  Do the same thing.  When he
is hovering right above you, turn around.  He'll come at
you.  Again, punch, kick, and web him wildly.  Keep
repeating until dead.


8. SCORPION-***
This guy will charge you head on in the beginning of the
fight.  Don't stay on the ceiling too long because he'll
shoot force blasts at you.  When you are on the ground,
he'll shoot three force blasts at you.  Dodge them.
Then, he'll charge you head on.  Jump over him.  He'll
wait in the corner for a few seconds.  At this time, you
charge him, and hit him with all that you've got.  Within
a short while, he should be dead.


9.      M.E.C.H. - *****
This guy/thing is really hard.  The only thing you can
damage it with is your webbing.  And the only place that
takes damage is those huge yellow balls on its lower
front.  You'll see that you have a lot of webbing around
you.  That's good.  From the beginning, try to get those
eyes.  If you have Web Bombs, that's good, because you
can come up to it and bounce a few in it's face.  If you
have power webbing, or any other kind except shield
webbing, then you have to jump, the shoot.  Shield
Webbing is totally useless here.  The attacks that this
thing will use are very damaging.  One of them is that it
will shoot a big green laser out if it's spine at you.
Dodge it.  Another is that it will shoot a couple of
green fireballs (slime balls?) at you.  Fairly easy to
dodge.  And the last one is when it actually comes over
to your corner and tramples you.  That ones impossible to
dodge, but luckily it doesn't cause that much damage.  To
win over this thing, you have to be quick.  Good luck!


10.     KRAVEN (2nd time) - *****
Oh boy, this one is hard.  From the beginning, dodge
those crosshairs.  That's Kraven trying to shoot you, and
it causes a lot of damage.  Then, Kraven will come out an
fight you.  Shoot some webbing at him, then use the QCF
Kick a few times, no problem.  UNTIL, he drinks the
potion.  He regenerates himself completely, and increases
his performance.  So now he causes a lot more damage.
Dodge his attack when he jumps into the air while trying
to stab you with a long knife, then turn around and QCF
Kick him.  Do that a few times.  Then, when his health is
low, he'll drink another one.  Good thing that that is
his last one.  By now you see that he is very fast and
causes a lot of damage.  Now you have to be quick.
Repeat the strategy above as fast as you can, over and
over again.  This guy will take a good while.  Good luck
on this one.


11.     GREEN GOBLIN (2nd time) - ****
While the rest of the games end in a big bang, this one
doesn't.  This boss is easy.  First of all, when you
begin, the Goblin will cruise around on his glider trying
to smash into you.  Luckily, he is at perfect height to
perform the QCF Kick and hit him good.  So do that a few
times.  When you lower his health to Zero, he'll jump off
his glider, regenerate himself, and then attack you.
Watch out, his glider, now unmanned, will still try to
hit you occasionally with bullets sometimes.  The Goblin
will keep throwing this orange ball at you: a Pumpkin
Bomb.  Just dodge it, and perform the QCF Kick.  Repeat a
few times until this loser is dead.
