The Story
=========
Starshot was originally a weapon trained to follow orders and
attack without question.
Yet something was wrong with Starshot - he contracted a virus that made him
useless to the military; he developed something called a conscience.
He joined the Space Circus run by Starcash. Starshot would display his skills
for all the world to see along with his two friends;
Willfall(small robot that follows Starshot around) and
Willfly(small rocket that hovers behind Starshot).
Starcash hoped people would stop paying to see the modern and cruel
Virtua Circus led by Wolfgang Von Ravel.
It seems the boss has been stealing such landmarks as the Milky Way,
Big Dipper, the rings of Saturn, and charging admission to see them.
Starshot agreed to embark on a mission to wipe out the Virtua Circus and
stop Wolfgang Von Ravel's plan to steal the galaxy to use
as his main attraction.
============================================
Starshot will have to travel to six planets;
Tropical Tensuns
Militaristic Killer Expo
Jungle like Primitron
Mechanical Technomummy
Junkyard Ultimacrash
The ruins of Earth
Starshot must gather at least 100 Mega Fuel Points if the Space Circus is
to return to Earth. Most of The red fuel points are easy to find and getting
100 shouldn't be a problem
To go to a different Planet, select the Green Alien to the left of
Starcash in the spaceship.
If you die you'll be returned to your last checkpoint, but will lose
any flight tokens you have collected.
To fly, press the blue button twice in quick succession when Willfly is above.
(you need flying tokens)
Talk to the info balloons
Collectibles;
Green Life Points(maximum of eight)
Blue Stars (each star represents two shots)
Yellow Flight Capsules(These give Starshot flight time-max 40 secs)
These three collectables all regenerate when you have moved a small
distance away so just go back for more.
==============================================
WALKTHROUGH
===========
Tensuns
=======
When you land talk to the info balloons.
Follow the beach, collecting items as you go, there are some kids that
attack you, they can't be killed so just run past them. The sand castles
flatten a few seconds after jumping on them, but they spring back up later
When you get to the end of the beach go up the wooden ramp, when you come to
two plants, look right, there is another walkway you can jump to, jump on
this and follow it to the end, a young woman will attack you and if you
kill her she will be back next time so it's easier to run around her.
At the end of the walkway jump off to the right, turn left and go around the
mountain through a cave with collectables, out the end into another cave with
more collectables. Jump down to a platform which is back at the start.
Go to the left down a wooden ramp, at the end above you is a fuel cell,
fly up to get this cell, this might take a few goes due to the crappy camera.
Return to the ramp at the end of the beach.
Follow all the wooden walkways for fuel cells etc, if you fall in the water
you will have to go to the beach to get out, you can't jump out.
Also the shark will kill you if it catches you.
When you have collected everything go back to the first save point
on the walkway
(the first one you came to when you went up the ramp at the end of the beach)
Look across the water to see the Virtua Circus.
Fly across to the left hand side, go along the walkway to the left.
At the end of the walkway you have to fly, following the platforms in the
sea, until you come to the island with two volcanoes.
When you arrive, go left, cross the water to the other island, follow the
beach to the right until you come to three stalks sticking out of the water.
Opposite the stalks is a wooden walkway with a small platform below it.
Get onto this platform either by flying or going up the walkway
and dropping down.
Push the eye which is down a short tunnel behind the platform,
this will remove the force fields around the legs of the Virtua Circus.
Collect all the items around the islands(fly up to the top of the mountains,
there are fuel cells in little valleys up there)
Return to the Virtua Circus and blast the legs of the Virtua Circus
until they're destroyed.
The Circus will fly off and you will be returned to the Spaceship.
Killer Expo
===========
When you are on the platforms mentioned below, look over the sides,
there are walkways going straight out from the platforms with items on them.
You arrive on a large platform, run to one side and jump on a small platform
which will take you to another platform. There will be a large balloon with
a gun on top which is blasting away at you,
(there is a red fuel cell on top of the balloon)
kill the aliens holding down the balloon and it will float away.
Jump across a series of small moving platforms to arrive at another
large platform.
There are two balloons this time, (red fuel cells on top of each)
blast the aliens.
About at this platform a small spaceship will keep attacking you, keep out of
it's way and jump on the small platform at the end.
When you get on the large platform, go left and jump down onto
another platform.
Go to the far side and jump across the small moving platforms until you
arrive at a platform with metal fences which form a maze.
Blast the robots and go up the ladder of the spaceship in the middle.
Collect items.
You will find a door that cannot be opened yet.
Leave the spaceship go to the edge of the platform where the waterfall is,
jump down onto the walkway and go to the end of the walkway and jump on the
small platform which will take you to the top of the waterfall.
Jump on one of the robot platforms, in the middle of the water jump onto the
other robot platform and jump off at Killer Expo.
Collect the items.
To kill the tanks run up to one of the missile firing guns,
it will fire a missile, run away and the missile will follow,
go near a tank and the missile will blow it up.
If you kill the Generals that are walking about they will leave a
Health Token behind.
From where you started, go down the left hand side, a detector gate will be
set off. Talk to the robot who will let you go through. Wait for the small
platform to arrive, jump on and go to the other side.
____________________________________________
When you are on this side, if you fall in the outer body of water,
when you get out and return to the detector gate the robot won't let
you back in. To regain entry, go back to the start point at the front of the
platform, jump on the robot platforms, get off at the waterfall.
With the water in front of you, turn left and run along the walkway until you
find a flat pink platform, jump on this to be returned beyond the
detector gate.
You will have to blast the robots that try to kill you on the way.
___________________________________________
Collect all the items
Go to Tortur World.
Go down the ramp, talk to the guy at the end.

they stop as they will fall away. Blast the aliens that are on

Energy Ball and blast open the door. Talk to the guy inside.
Return to Killer Expo.
Go to the missile centre.
When you get there the Tanks will be going crazy, keep out of their way and
go to the large immobile tank in the middle. Talk to the small robots,
the tank will startup and crash into the wall.
Jump on top of the tank, onto the wall and over into the missile range below.
The object is to fly in front of the missile launcher which will attract
the missile to you. Fly towards one of the living targets and land near it.
The missile will hit the living target and the target will run forward to
the next white line. When hit again the target will run forward again.
Keep doing this until the target stands on a slope near the missile launcher.
Do the same with the other living targets.
Go on the platform above and behind the missile launcher.
There is a card on the floor next to the group of Generals, pick it up.
Now you can enter the War Sim.
To get to the War Sim,
leave the missile centre where the tank crashed,
turn right, turn left, turn left, follow path, turn left,
Talk to guard who will let you in.
When you enter the War Sim, walk forward, destroy either the
red or blue Tanks, Planes, etc, although it doesn't seem to matter if you
destroy them all.
Move forward to the water battle. Use the barges to cross the water where
available otherwise you will be killed by the subs.
The short stretches of water with no barges are safe to jump across.
