Thank you for choosing to read my FAQ/Walkthrough for Spider-Man 2: The
Sinister Six. You might be wondering why I decided to write a guide for an old
Game Boy Color game. Well, I was surprised that there was no FAQ for this
game (at the current date of 4-03-06), so I decided to write one, as it can
be hard to complete, especially on the higher difficulty levels. I hope this
guide gives you some assistance in completing this game.

3. Story
###############################################################################
Inside an abandoned clock tower, the Sinister Six - Mysterio, Sandman,
Vulture, Scorpion, Kraven, and Dr. Octopus - are having a meeting. Octopus,
the leader, tells his associates that they have made to look like fools at the
hands of Spider-Man for years now. He decides that the time has come to finish
the hero once and for all.
Octopus orders his underlings to kidnap his old student, Peter Parker, since he
takes pictures of his friend Spider-Man. If the Sinister Six kidnap him, his
archaid friend will surely try to rescue him. Octopus laughs that they will
weaken Spider-Man one by one and that he will destroy him in the end.
It is just another night at the Parker Residance, or so it seems... Sandman
and Scorpion break in, demanding to know where Peter is. A frightened Aunt
May tells them he's not here, so the two villains decide to kidnap her instead.
Peter arrives home to chaos and notices the message ‘Tell bug boy to go to the
Coney Island Pier’ on a wall. Although Peter (AKA Spider-Man) knows that this
is a trap, he has no choice but do so if he wants to save Aunt May.

===============================================================================
When you press the Start Button at the Title Screen, you'll be sent to the Main

from. If you go to the Continue or Credit screens, different images will be
shown when you return to the Main Menu.

===============================================================================
4.03 - GAME SCREEN
===============================================================================
When you control Spider-Man, it is important to know the basics when you are on
the Game Screen.
Health Meter
------------
This is displayed at the bottom-left of the screen. You start each level with
a full Health Meter. Each time you get hit by an enemy or obstacle, the meter
depletes.
Key Indicator
-------------
This is displayed at the bottom-centre of the screen. It shows whether you
have a key.
Armour Indicator
----------------
This is displayed at the bottom-centre of the screen. It shows whether you
have Armour.
Fluid Indicator
---------------
This is displayed at the bottom-left of the screen. It shows how much fluid
is left in your web-shooters.
Life Indicator
--------------
This is displayed at the bottom-right of the screen. When you start a new
game, you'll begin with 3 lives. If the Health Meter runs out, you'll lose a
life. If you lose all your lives, the game ends, but two options will appear
on the Game Over/Continue screen. You can decide to continue or quit the
game.
Go right and climb up the crate. Swing across the level and jump down shortly
afterwards. Activate the first switch and head right. Climb up the buildings
and activate the second switch. Swing across the level and activate the final
switch. Go back a bit and head into the sewers. Since you activated the
three switches, you can enter this area.
In the sewers, go right and make your way to a dead end. Grab a 1-Up before
going to the surface and climbing up the buildings. Swing across the level to
find Mysterio.
Although this is your first Boss Battle, it can be hard if you don't know
what to do. Your target isn't Mysterio himself; it's the three clones that
he creates to attack you with. Fortunately, you only face 1 clone at a
time. The clones will fire energy beams towards you. If you're on the
floor, climb onto the left side of the platform that Mysterio is standing on.
If you're on the platform, jump down. If you do either of the above
actions, you should avoid the beams. After the clones attack, make sure you
hit them quickly, as they will disappear after a few seconds and repeat their
attack pattern. You can only hit a clone once during each attack sequence, so
be patient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==============================================================================
5.02 - CONEY ISLAND PIER
==============================================================================
Swing through the level. When you reach a dead end, take the key from an
enemy and use it open the pier gate. It's time to battle Sandman. Compared
to Level 1, this level is very short. If you swing through the level and make
it past all the enemies, you'll be battling Sandman in no time.
Sandman will charge towards you and attack with his sand-hammer. Sometimes,
he uses a sand-shield to block your attacks. He also tries stretching his
hands to hurt you. Sandman is very fast, so I advise hitting him once and
jumping over to the other side of the screen. Repeat this strategy to have a
better chance of avoiding his attacks. If you keep avoiding Sandman's attacks
and hitting him, he'll go down eventually.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==============================================================================
5.03 - WORLD TRADE CENTRE
==============================================================================
Go right and then up. Head left and climb up the vents. Go right and then
left. Grab the Armour and go right. Activate the switch to open the door.
Go left and climb up. Go right and then up. Head left and climb up. At the
top, go right to find a locked door. Go down and activate the switch. Return
to the locked door and head right.
Go right and climb up. Head left and climb up. Go right and climb up to the
top. Go left and climb up. Grab the Armour and climb up the vents to obtain
an Extra Life. Go back down and head through the vents. Climb up the eastern
side of the dead end, and grab the Armour. Go left to find a locked door.
Go down and activate the three switches. Return to the door and follow the
path to find Vulture.
Vulture will fly back and forth 3 times while dropping bombs. If he flies
left/right off the screen, go to the far left/right side of the screen to
avoid the bombs. When Vulture lands on the floor, this is your chance to hit
him, so be ready. He repeats his attack pattern afterwards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==============================================================================
5.04 - MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
==============================================================================
Go right and down the vents. Go left and drop down. Go right and then up.
Climb up the vents and go right. Go through all the vents. Go left and drop
down. Go left and go through the door.
Go left and drop down. Go right and then down. Go left and down the vents.
Drop down and go right. Go through the door. Go right and through the vents.
Go left and go through the door. Go left and drop down. Go right to find
Scorpion.
Scorpion will jump towards you and swing his tail at you. When he is
preparing to attack, you can crouch near him to avoid getting hit. You can't
hit Scorpion while he is in this position. Sometimes, you can avoid his tail
if you're far away from him. After Scorpion attacks, hit him a few times. If
you temporarily immobilize him with webbing, he can still attack you with his
tail, so watch out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==============================================================================
5.05 - CENTRAL PARK
==============================================================================
Like Level 2, this level is very short. If you keep going right and swinging,
you should reach the end after a while. There are a lot of enemies, though.
They can be a nuisance to get past, so watch out. After going through two
areas, Kraven will challenge you to a duel.
Kraven will try to hurt you with his spear as he charges towards you. Jump
over to the other side of the screen to avoid the attack. When Kraven stops
running, make sure you hit him quickly, as he will throw daggers at you if
you're not fast enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==============================================================================
5.06 - EMPIRE STATE UNIVERSITY LAB
==============================================================================
Objectives:
-----------
* Locate keys.
* Defeat Doctor Octopus.
Go right and swing through the level. Drop down and grab the Armour. Go
right and then up. Go down and then right. Grab the Armour and head up.
Drop down and go right. Grab the key and climb to the top. Follow the path,
and use the key to open the door.
Go right and climb to the top. When you are on the rooftops, grab the key
nearby. Go back and drop down. Go right and follow the path. Eventually,
you'll find a locked door. Use the key to open it. Octopus will battle you.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| FINAL BOSS: DR. OCTOPUS |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
Notes and Strategy
------------------
Octopus will try to attack you with his mechanical arms. Since you're
fighting him in a small room, it can be difficult to dodge them. Also, you
might climb onto the walls by mistake. Do a Flying Kick to hit Octopus, as
your other attacks are useless against him. While he is stunned, go to the
other side of the screen and repeat this strategy to win the final fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Congratulations! You have completed Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six! Now
enjoy the ending.

include lasers and security cameras. They'll usually found in World Trade
Centre, Madison Square Garden, and Empire State University Lab. If you

webbing. While they are temporarily immobilized, you can take them out.
