Spider-Man FAQ v.2 for Nintendo GameCube Unpublished work Copyright 2002 Adam Weese Spider-Man, all characters within, and Marvel are copyright their respective owners. Authors Note: This guide was created using the GameCube version of Spider-Man. While the information within may be useful for the PlayStation 2 or X-Box versions, I take no claim that it will be the same for those respective systems. So please, if you can, use an FAQ for the system you own! I will not do anything on the X-Box exclusive Kraven levels, so please do not e-mail me asking about that. And also, this guide may contain spoilers, so read at your own discretion! CONTRIBUTIONS, FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS: If you have anything you don't see here that you'd like to share, please e-mail it to me. My rules for contributions are simple. The first person who sends it to me receives credit for it. So if you see something you contributed, but the credit went to someone else, sorry, but they beat you to the punch. For questions, please read the FAQ all the way through and make sure the question isn't answered within before asking me. Feedback is appreciated too, but please remember that constructive criticism is good while saying "You suck!" is bad. My e-mail address for all of these things is offspringprick@yahoo.com. SITES HOSTING THIS FAQ: The only site that is hosting this FAQ is Game FAQs. (http://www.gamefaqs.com) I have received several e-mails from other sites asking me to allow them to host this guide, but I have to respectfully decline. I have already received more exposure than I expected. Anymore would be too much. Also, if any of you vigilant readers notice a site hosting this guide other than Game FAQs, please e-mail me and tell me where. Thank you. UPDATES: v.1 4/22/02 – My very first FAQ. In this version I made… well. The whole thing! v.2 4/28/02 – Here's the first update with your contributions! Thank you all very much for making this possible and the response I have gotten is overwhelming. I appreciate your interest. I've added a section at the top detailing which sites can host this FAQ and several of the levels in the walkthrough and training sections have been updated with your tips. I've also added a section on the Green Goblin. Also, even though I said I would only give credit to the first person that sent in how to do something, I had a change of heart and everyone who contributes will be added to the credits section. The first person to contribute the trick has their name directly in the section they contributed to. I did not add the fighting guide, but I don't think that it is necessary. Also, the walkthrough is 100% complete now, with locations of all golden spider icons and secret areas. There are also tips on how to achieve just about every single bonus. If you're still having trouble, please read the topic, "The Race to 84,000 points!" on the Game FAQs, Spider-Man/GameCube message board. There are several excellent tips within. Big thanks to "PS2 4 Life", "JediLink" and any others posting helpful information within that thread. NEXT UPDATE: It's quite possible that this will be the last update to this guide, since pretty much everything important is now covered. If anything new and completely delicious is found in the game, it will be added, but it is doubtful that anything noteworthy is still waiting to be discovered. If this is the last update, thank you all very much for your questions, comments and contributions and thank you for looking at my guide. Peace everyone. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Table of Contents *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I. BASIC INFORMATION 1. Storyline 2. Classic Controls 3. Enhanced Controls 4. Menu Screens II.

Peter leads the life of a good-hearted, yet solitary, teenager making his way through high school. On a school trip to a research institute, Peter Parker's class is given a demonstration of genetic research conducted on spiders. Peter is bitten by one of the genetically altered spiders. The next morning, Peter discovers that suddenly his vision is perfect and his previously scrawny body has become muscular—he now has incredible strength, and his hands mysteriously adhere like glue to everything. Peter gradually teaches himself to gain better control of his powers. Initially, he uses his ESP-like "Spider-Sense" and superhuman strength, speed and agility to make money in order to impress the lovely Mary Jane. However it is only through the tragic death of his uncle that Peter learns that "with great power comes great responsibility." It is these words that transform Peter Parker from a teenager with extraordinary powers into the amazing Spider-Man, a super-hero out to protect the city from a never-ending supply of perils. Meanwhile, in a lab at OsCorp, Spider-Man's ultimate nemesis is about to be born… Are you up to the challenge? #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 2.

The twirling enemy will also become a weapon, damaging anything he hits. MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE: I go with Classic Controls because I'm just more used to them. Enhanced can provide you with more overall control though so if you are new to the game I suggest you begin by trying to use them so you can master them. Keep in mind that this FAQ is written using the Classic Controls, although that shouldn't make much of a difference. #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ 3.

CHEATS, SECRET STORE AND GLITCHES *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 1. Secret Store #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ WHAT IS IT: The Secret Store is basically the backbone of the replay value in Spider-Man. It lets you unlock various things in the game by either earning enough points to unlock them, or by beating the game on a certain difficulty level. HOW DO I GET POINTS: Points in Spider-Man are awarded for the way you complete a level. You will always receive a base amount of points on a level just for completing it, but each level also has bonus points you can earn by killing extra enemies or not using pick-ups or various other methods. It all depends on the level. For more on what levels have what bonuses, see the Walkthrough. ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POINTS: Yes, there is. Points are cumulative, meaning you don't actually "spend" the points at the store. When you have earned 10,000 points, you unlock the first secret. When you earn another 10,000 (for a total of 20,000) you unlock the second secret. Also, when you earn points on a lesser difficulty level, then get them on the same level, but on a higher difficulty setting, you will only earn the difference between the two. For example, you get 500 points for beating a level on Easy and you get 700 points for beating a level on Normal. Beat the same level on both difficulties, and you will only actually earn 700 points for it. In this way, the game pretty much forces you to play the higher difficulties if you want to earn the more expensive secrets. Finally, the score values vary depending on the difficulty setting you use. On Easy, you will receive 500 points for each bonus, on Normal, you will receive 700 points and on Hero and Super Hero, you will receive 1,000 points. WHAT CAN I GET: When you have earned 10,000 points, you will receive a bonus training level called Pinhead Bowling. For more information on this, see the Training and Pinhead Bowling sections of this FAQ. When you have earned 20,000 bonus points, you will receive a bonus movie featuring Vulture. This can be viewed in the GALLERY/MOVIE VIEWER menu of the game. When you have earned 30,000 bonus points, you will receive a bonus movie featuring Shocker. This can be viewed in the GALLERY/MOVIE VIEWER menu of the game as well. When you have earned 50,000 bonus points, you will an infinite supply of webbing. This also gives the Goblin an infinite supply of pumpkin bombs. When you have beaten the game on the Easy difficulty setting or higher, you will earn the ability to play the game through as Peter Parker. When you have beaten the game on the Easy difficulty setting or higher, you will also earn the ability to play the game using Spider-Man's wrestling costume. When you have beaten the game on the Normal difficulty setting or higher, you will earn the ability to play the game using the costume Alex Ross designed for Spider- Man. This secret will also show Green Goblin in Alex Ross' design. I personally think this Goblin is much better looking than the final one… When you have beaten the game on the Hero difficulty setting or higher, you will earn the ability to play the game through as Green Goblin (Harry Osborn). This is the only of the extra 'costumes' (including the Cheats ones) that actually changes the game. The Green Goblin not only controls much differently than Spider-Man, he also has completely new dialogue throughout the levels. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 2. Cheats #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ WHERE DO I ENTER THE CHEATS IN: Go to SPECIALS and then CHEATS. Enter the cheat exactly as it appears to use it. A laugh and the screen dimming for a second will confirm correct code entry. HOW DO I DISABLE A CHEAT: Some will be disabled automatically if you shut off the game and then turn it back on. Any of them can be de-activated by reentering the same code in again at the CHEATS menu. ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT CHEATS: Try not to use them. They're really there just in case you really can't do the task, but I guarantee with a little persistence, that you will be able to overcome anything in Spider-Man. The only ones I really use are the various fun skins for Spidey (that also have no effect on game play just like Spidey's alternate costumes). WHAT ARE THE CHEATS: To the left is the code you enter at the CHEATS menu and to the right is the effect that the cheat will have on the game. ARACHNID – This cheat will enable Pinhead Bowling, have all levels unlocked in the Level Warp, have all movies unlocked in the Movie Viewer and have all Production Art unlocked. IMIARMAS – This cheat will unlock all levels in the Level Warp. HEADEXPLODY – This cheat will enable the Pinhead Bowling training level. ORGANICWEBBING – This cheat will give you infinite webbing as Spider-Man and infinite pumpkin bombs as Green Goblin. CHILLOUT – This cheat makes it so that Green Goblin's glider (try saying that three times fast) will never overheat. ROMITAS – This cheat will enable a "Next Level" option under the Pause Menu. Whenever you select it, you will skip to the next level. KOALA – This cheat will enable all Combat Controls. GIRLNEXTDOOR – This cheat lets you play in a Mary Jane skin. HERMANSCHULTZ – This cheat lets you play in a Shocker skin. KNUCKLES – This cheat lets you play in a thug model skin. STICKYRICE – This cheat lets you play in a different thug model skin. THUGSRUS – This cheat lets you play in yet another different thug model skin. REALHERO – This cheat lets you play in a police officer skin. CAPTAINSTACEY – This cheat lets you play in a helicopter pilot's skin. SERUM – This cheat lets you play in a scientist skin. FREAKOUT – This is another different skin. It is of a dude who attacks you in the Big Brawl training level. Don't know his name though. DODGETHIS – This cheat will make the action go into slow motion whenever you land a powerful blow on an opponent. SPIDERBYTE – This cheat makes Spider-Man small. GOESTOYOURHEAD – This cheat gives Spider-Man a big head and big feet. His shadow is even affected by this cheat. Gotta love those small details. JOELSPEANUTS – This cheat gives the enemies big heads and feet. UNDERTHEMASK – This cheat enables a first person view. While this is hardly practical, it is probably the coolest of all the cheats. CONTRIBUTE: If you have any cheats that aren't listed here, please mail them on in to me. You will receive proper credit for the contribution. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 3. Green Goblin #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ The ultimate secret in this game is possibly one of the coolest in any game out there. It's pretty tough to unlock fair and square, but once you do, you'll be happy. If you don't know what secret I'm talking about by now, go sit in the corner. You're not allowed to play here anymore. Of course, it's the Green Goblin. You actually control Harry in the Goblin suit instead of Norman. And you actually have every single one of the Goblin's attacks. Well, minus his 2 combo attacks and the move I affectionately dubbed the "Grabby". Goblin is actually a lot better than Spidey in just about every aspect. He is much different though. The only thing they really share in common are the combo attacks. They have exactly the same ones. Also, you play through the entire game as Goblin, even levels that don't really fit for him. They try and tie it together with a half done plot, which is nice, but it isn't fleshed out enough. But who really cares when you're playing as this dude anyway? The following are a list of his unique attacks and abilities, also telling you what they do. B Button – This button works exactly the same as Spider-Man's. Punch, pick up civilians, activate switches etc. A Button – Another that's the same as Spider-Man's. Jump, tap twice to double jump. X Button – Guess what? This still kicks, just like Spidey. Y Button – Now here's something new. While holding this down on the ground and moving, you will execute a Turbo Run. While doing this, you move so fast that fire follows you. Not only can this damage enemies, but you can also jump considerably further when you are Turbo Running. The only downside is that the Turbo Run eats your "web" meter away pretty quickly. Z Button – It seems that Goblin does not have a look around mode. That's fine though. What he gets in return more than makes up for it. Pressing this button will bring out a Razor Bat. You can have up to 5 out at any given time. These little bad boys will automatically follow you around and attack any enemy nearby. You can destroy them manually by holding the L Button and pressing Z. And another thing to note about these, they act in the same way as Spider-Man's webbing when it comes to repairing damaged structures. Just call some out when you're standing next to something that needs to be repaired and they will get to work right away. Oddly enough, they use webbing to do this… L Button – This button, in conjunction with nearly every other button on the pad, will produce various pumpkin bomb attacks. These can be used while you are on the ground, or the glider. These attacks take out a good deal of your "web" meter of course. In addition to the aforementioned use with the Z Button, here are the other uses this multi-purpose trigger has. L + B – This will throw a single Pumpkin Bomb. Goblin throws it upward and it descends downward. Simple enough. This is best used while on the ground. L + A – This will throw a bomb, which when descending downwards, splits into 5 bombs. This attack is creatively known as the Multi Bomb. L + X – This attack throws a single, homing Pumpkin Rocket. It's great while in the air or on the ground. L + Y – The Multi Homing is awesome. It throws a single bomb straightforward, which then splits into two, each of those two, then splitting into another two, for a total of four. To top it off, the 4 bombs are all homing. R Button – This button activates your glider. A couple of things to note; like Spider- Man's web slinging, holding the R Button down makes you go faster. As a matter of fact, you have to hold it down to even move! Pressing A while on it will make you jump off. You have an overheating meter, which will be explained in a second and meters for two different weapons, which will also be explained in a second. R + A – While holding R, pressing A down will activate a Turbo. This will make you go MUCH faster. You'll notice that as you use it, the top meter for the glider will slowly begin to fill. This is your overheat meter. Once it has filled up, you will be unable to use any of the glider's weapons or Turbo until it goes all the way down. To stop from overheating, simply stop using this move once you're about to overheat. B Button while on glider – This will activate the guns. Just like Turbo, this can overheat the glider. Watch that meter. X Button while on glider – This will trigger your Homing Blades. This is probably the Goblin's most useful attack as they can take opponent's out quickly. You'll notice that as you use them, the purple meter next to the glider goes down. If you use too many at once, it will take a long time for the Homing Blades meter to refill, so be careful. Y Button while on glider – This will attack with the Inferno Bombs. This move drops a fiery bomb straight down. So it's best used against opponents out doors. Try using it indoors close to the ground and you will be damaged. This move has a meter, just like the Homing Blades so be careful not to overuse it. That's pretty much all there is to know about the Green Goblin. If you're having trouble getting any of the bonuses on a level as Spider-Man, come back again once you have earned the Goblin and 9 times out of 10, it will be much easier to earn with him. Have fun! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 4. Glitches #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ WHAT'S A GLITCH: A glitch is something that slips by quality control. Something in the game that happens and isn't supposed to. This is bad for the developer. But good for gamers. We thrive on these glitches sometimes. Finding a rare one is like finding $100 bill on the street to some of us. The main reason I put this FAQ together was to share the one glitch I found on my own with you all. HOW DO I KNOW I'VE FOUND A GLITCH: You'll know when something happens that doesn't usually. You'll have to use your own discretion to decide what's a glitch and what is a secret. It should be pretty easy to tell the difference though. OKAY, I'M DYING TO KNOW THE GLITCHES: All right ladies and gentlemen, but first, a little disclaimer. I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage these glitches may cause to your game, memory card, system, you, your family, your friends, your house, your toilet paper…any damage they might cause. The chances of them causing any are unlikely, but it could happen so the disclaimer has been laid. CHAOS – Okay, so this one isn't really a glitch. But since this section will probably be rather bare, I decided to add it anyway. In some of the outdoor levels, you will notice the word 'CHAOS' mysteriously form in the middle of the air. What could this mean? An ominous warning? A reference to that water dude in Sonic Adventure? Or are the developers just screwing with us? I'll let you be the judge. FLOATING PEOPLE: Dan, "DJGKoRn2000" contributes this glitch. Whenever a character, Spider-Man or any enemy, jumps and slides down against a wall, they are prone to fall down very slowly, being completely vulnerable to attacks during this moment of time. You can get in some good free shots during this time. He points out that it happens a lot during the battle with Shocker, which can be useful for beating him. Also, Scorpion tends to have this happen a good bit as well. It shouldn't be too hard to recreate this glitch, but when an enemy does it, it is more random since you don't control their jumping habits. Thanks Dan! BASIC TRAINING GLITCH: Logan Polk sends in this little ditty. During Basic Training, immediately after you have defeated the enemy during the fighting training, cling to the wall of the door he came out of before the cut scene begins. When it does begin, if all went right, Peter Parker will be shown clinging to nothing in mid-air during the cut scene. SEARCH FOR JUSTICE GLITCH: Brandon Stumbaugh writes in with a glitch on the first level. Here's what he had to say. "First off, this is a glitch I found in the first level. I was crawling around the building you start on, and just simply couldn't crawl anymore. I could swing past that spot, and on the roof I could go farther, but it was like a straight line down the side I could not cross. I've tried to recreate it, and couldn't. Maybe it was a fluke, maybe I'm at the wrong building." THE AMAZING DEAD CELL-PHONE GUY: This glitch comes to use from "Kulock", apparently a fellow human (moogle?) who, like me, has a deep-seated hatred for cell-phones. Well, okay, I lied. I'm probably the only person, but I just don't want to seem like such a freak! Stop the pain! Oh dear God, stop the… nevermind. Anyway, here's what "Kulock" has to say about activating this glitch. "I was at the point just after you help the cop and the weak bystander in the subway (while they fend off the Shocker's goons). Shocker toasts the pillar, and you have to save that bystander on the cell phone again. Well, I knew to pick him up, but didn't know where to take him. I just ran a bit further, up the escalator. The pillar fell after a moment. I then saw the red Spider mark where I was supposed to drop him off, and so I did. "Civilian Saved", he runs off. But no second wave of goons shows up. I wait, I look around for a bit, and then all of a sudden, it cuts to a shot of the bystander, dead on the ground, but with no one around (no goon seemed to have beaten him up), he's just suddenly dead near a wall," Mission Failed". I know there are concerns about cell phone cancer, but I didn't think it acted that fast..." RIDE THE TRAIN: This glitch comes from "Masterastrobeat". As I'm getting quite tired and lazy, I'm just going to copy and paste what he has to say. "Hello I've just read your strategy guide for Spider-Man, and I have a glitch for you. I have the Xbox version of the game though. When facing Shocker in the tunnels, after he runs off and you have to pull the lever to get the train car out of the way, you can get inside the car. I found this by accident of course. The way I did it was, I didn't pull the lever and was crawling on the wall parallel with the top of the car, kind of getting as close to the bottom of the car as I could while trying to get in the door to follow Shocker, and all of a sudden I dropped inside it. I thought I'd never get out, but eventually did, by trying to crawl parallel to the top of the car, again. But it did take a while to get out and I did end up in the tunnel I was supposed to be in, all without moving the subway train car." INSTA-DEATH: There seems to be an odd glitch in the "Air Duel With Vulture" level that kills you instantly. Begin by forcing Vulture to land. Now, zip all the way up the top of the building. (As if you were going for the gold combo icon at the top) Note that you can't swing up here, as it is too high. When you have zipped up to the very top, occasionally, if you zip onto the "cone" part, you will go right through it. The screen will go black and there will be a whooshing sound, then you'll get the Game Over screen. GREEN GOBLIN GLITCH (G3) – This one takes place in the level, "The Offer". After you have damaged Green Goblin (hereafter referred to as GG) enough while in the air, he will go down into a building. You will then take place in some fisticuffs with him. Eventually, he will go out the door in this building and hop back on his glider. Your goal, during this is to gauge his life meter and determine when he is going to get back on his glider. It may take a couple of tries. When you finally can tell, go back and do it until he's about to take off. Then, make sure you are web swinging when the cut scene of GG running to his glider plays. If all goes right, you will swing right through the wall during the cut scene and be clinging to the outside of the building when it ends. Now, GG should be completely frozen in his tracks in mid-air. WARNING: The game seems to think when GG is frozen that you aren't anywhere near him. So it will begin to warn you that you need to engage in combat with him before he runs off. It will shortly thereafter show a cut scene of him running off, calling you boring. So just use this for fun, not when you are actually trying to beat the level. STICKY SCORPION: Kayne Schwarz sends in a glitch for the level, "Scorpion's Rampage". He says that by swinging repeatedly off the pillars with the yellow netting, Scorpion will eventually get stuck within the pillar, only his tail being visible. Note that you will not be able to attack him while he's stuck in the pillar. FUN WITH RAZOR-BATS: Rob Myers (robm@robmyers.net) sends in a glitch for the level "The Razor's Edge". So, take it away Rob! "In the level 'Razor's Edge' find a building with an overhang. The construction site will do, but there are a couple others. What you're looking for is an alcove that has bit of a roof, so that the razorbats' angle of attack is limited to straight in front of you. The first glitch is that I managed to completely lose the razorbats before I had defeated enough of them to trigger the next cutscene. I ended up swinging around the city for a while and eventually found them to resume the fight, but it gained me time to find more health powerups. If they do find you under the overhang, you'll find that their attack pattern becomes much clearer. Basically they hover around you in a cloud, while one zips in to attack at a time. When you're swinging, the cloud swings with you, making it seem like they are a bigger threat than they are. But with enough cover, only one can zip in on you at a time while the rest kind of hang back and watch. You know, like baddies in a Bruce Lee movie who surround him but only attack one at a time? This gives you lots of time to just nail them with impact webbing. Thirdly, I found that another time under the same overhang GG spotted me and hovered in the air some distance away. Next to him was a single glowing spot in the sky that camera lock indicated was a razorbat. I nailed it with impact webbing, and there was animation of one falling, but the glowing spot in the sky remained. Then I noticed that every time I nailed that immovable "single" razorbat, another was taken off the total. I knocked down about 20 or so that way, without them attacking me." DISCLAIMER: Glitches are as rare to re-create, as they are to make happen in the first place. So if you've been trying and trying to make the above glitches happen and they just won't, don't freak out and send me hate mail saying how the thing doesn't work. Chances are, just about all of the above are very hard to make happen again, so please, attempt them with patience. CONTRIBUTE: Got a weird and wacky glitch no one else seems to know or care about? I may not know either, but I do care! Please send them in and they will be posted here. You will receive proper credit of course. And please people, do not just make up things and send it in. Thank you. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ III.

Your guide will be…Bruce Campbell?? Why? I dunno, but it sure is cool. Just follow your compass to each "?" and follow Bruce's instructions and you will do fine. This isn't a competitive training level, unlike most of the others. "Jameygus" points out that Bruce Campbell voices the training guide as he and the director of the Spider-Man movie were good friends. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 2.

The key here is the same as every other fighting situation. Combo, roll out, combo roll out. Try to keep your combos varied. For a real cheap win, turn on organic webbing and sit up on the roof and shoot off impact webbing, killing an endless stream of nobodies. Either way, this level was really just meant so that you could test your acquired combos. But you can win it. After killing off enough thugs, BoneSaw will appear for a rematch. He isn't really hard at all. In fact, all he seems to do are straight punches. But, he takes a LOT of hits to go down. It's hard to get off a combo without him hitting you too. The best strategy I've come up with his to jump punch him, then hit him with a P, P, P combo and repeat. He never blocks so don't worry. Like I said, he isn't tough, he just takes patience. Congratulations if you win this mode because you get no reward for beating it. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 3.

It's not hard to complete at all, but getting a top time is trickier. As with just about all swinging, using the Enhanced Controls is better. If you want the best time, you're gonna have to work. The green and blue targets can be destroyed with a simple swinging kick. This is easier said than done though. You need to make a near perfect run, not missing a swing or kick. Then, when you get to the red targets, you will find your swing kick useless as it takes more than one hit. The only way you can hit these targets and even hope to make it through quick enough is to shoot four webs at them, then punch them. Still, the run will need to be near perfect and it will be very tough. If you try this, then I commend you because it is tough. Good luck. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 4. Target Switching #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ This is a doozy. This training level is kinda dumb because it is too hard to switch between targets in the first place. This level just makes that fact even clearer. You will have to lock onto musical notes and hit them with impact webbing in the order they are played. Better have a good memory, because it will take forever to lock onto one target then get to another. I don't like this level at all. Do yourself a favor and forget it. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 5.

But heck, this one is so easy that you can even use Classic and still get the top place. The pattern of the level is right turn, left turn and so on. Some turns are wider than others, but most of them you can speed right through. Just go do this one, you don't need too much help here. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 6.

If you've mastered how to turn without losing velocity in Enhanced Controls mode, then you can do this, piece of cake. The layout is almost exactly the same as the Basic level, but the corridors are much narrower. If you're really good, you can get the top time using Classic Controls here. Just try this one a few times and you will get the hang of it. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 7.

But it is still manageable; especially if you mastered the other 2 swing trainings first. There are new obstacles to deal with here though. You will have to go up inclines often. If you are swinging in accelerated mode, you wont make it up these without clinging to a wall. That spells doom! So when you see a sharp uphill, slow down those swings mister. If you come to a place that is telling you to go up but it looks completely impossible to pass, then break your swing and turn around. Yep, there are loops here, as Bruce told you. Other than those two things, make sure you aren't swinging too high to the ceiling, or you will crawl onto it. But really that applies to all the levels. Try it a few times and you should get the top place. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 8.

But I'm not too good at aiming my zip. (No dirty jokes please). Just follow the arrows, what else can I say. Always be aiming in the way of the next arrow and just…go. I dunno. If I can beat it, you can. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 9.

Again, this is a very forgiving course. I got top place on this my first try as well! Maybe I'm better with my zip than I thought. Or maybe the developers knew these levels would be hard because of the disorientation involved with zipping around so they made them easier. Whatever the case, again follow the arrows and that's about all I can say. Make sure to break your zip before you hit a wall. This course is slightly twistier than the basic one so be alert. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 10.

The first room is just a huge mess, with multiple paths, many of which are completely unnecessary. So if you take a turn that didn't do much, restart and try again. When you finally leave that room, it's more clear sailing. You'll then find that you are zipping on conviently placed towers. The trick here is to zip on the farthest away tower so you can go forward faster. As always, break your line before hitting the wall. So you can use look around mode if you want, but I still prefer good old-fashioned intuition. Don't forget when you see the finish zone that you will have to double jump to get in. And for me, I think this was easier than the other two zip trainings. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 11.

Not only did I get the top place, I got it quite handily (2:01). Basically, just accelerate when possible, but don't worry too much about it. I didn't accelerate most of the way through and still won. If you see a ring appear above you, then definitely stop accelerating. If you pass by a ring, don't bother trying to turn around and pass through again as you have to pass through them the correct way. If you've done all the other swing trainings, you'll get this on your first try. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 12.

You'll never make it if you don't accelerate at possible opportunities. So do just that. As always, stop accelerating when a platform appears above you so you can climb faster. The platforms get smaller and smaller so be mindful of that. Other than that, it will probably take you a few tries to get top place on this, but it shouldn't take too many. It's not all that tough. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 13. Big Brawl #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ Now this is tough! You have to defeat several waves of enemies in the time allotted and so on. Weird dudes, razors, light mechs and HKs attack you all at the same time. I don't really have a good strategy for this except to stick and move. I just don't know, I can not get a good score on this level. "Black Knight" writes in with the tip to just use your Web Dome. If you don't have infinite webbing on though, this strategy obviously won't be quite as useful. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 14.

In it, you use Spider-Man as a human bowling ball to swing down a lane and kick human bowling pins. You can play up to 4 players and it is actually a decent time waster. It's possible to bowl a perfect game, though hard. To do so, you have got to do the same thing every time. There are different places you can hit the pinheads that will make them strike every time, but the best I've found, is just to the right of the middle pinhead. Just as you are almost above him, being your kick and kind of veer to the left. With practice, you can bowl a strike every time. Challenge your friends to a game and humiliate them. Have fun. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 15.

Here, you will have to act very quickly and never make a mistake. Because each time you stick to any surface, even the floor, you will have 5 seconds added to your time. You will have to use all your skills to zip and swing. Personally, I swing most of the way through, though when an opportunity arises that the zip is better, I take it. "TopVideoGamer" contributes that at a point where you're supposed to swing through a tunnel, it is quicker to go underneath the tunnel and zip through instead. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ IV. WALKTHROUGH *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ PREFACE: I won't differentiate between the difficulty settings (unless otherwise noted) as the only differences are that the enemies take more hits to go down and the items will be in different places within the level sometimes. It's best to assume this guide is written for the Normal difficulty level however, as that is what I played through mainly when having all of this in mind. I have beaten it on Hero however, but the same basic tactics apply. There are a couple self-explanatory bonuses, such as Level Completion. And Style, which is given for mixing up your attacks and being varied. You won't get any Style points for doing the same thing over and over. A Perfect bonus means you got a run without ever getting hit; no easy task by any means. The easiest way to get a perfect is to earn the organic webbing and use a lot of impact webbing. This is cheap, but if you must, you must. I will provide a few small tips on getting perfects in the levels I can. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to earn all the bonuses in one run. That would be impossible. Anyone with strategies, please CONTRIBUTE. So, without much further ado, here we go. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 1. Search For Justice #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ BONUSES; Level Completion Perfect Combat Secret(s) Found Style As soon as the level begins, you will find your first gold spider icon, which will grant you a new combo move. This one will give you the Field Goal (B, B, X). Now, you'll want to start the level by getting the secret bonus, which will involve a crazy roof touring lady and her lost purse. Begin the process by swinging to the first tall building to your left, from the start of the level. It will have kind of orange colored windows. Once atop it, you must defeat the two thugs, then the crazy lady will tell you she lost her purse on a different rooftop. To get the purse, head north from this rooftop, and just below you, you'll see a billboard advertising Latvania. Ignoring your urge to visit the place immediately, scour around the rooftop of the building that this sign is attached to and defeat the two thugs. Grab the purse in one of the niches (don't ask, just search the roof) and return it to the lady. The rest of the level is a cinch. Just follow your compass and height meter and beat up the thugs. There will usually be two per a rooftop. Eventually, you will beat scare some answers out of one of the thugs and he will direct you to the warehouse. Just follow your compass there, and walk into the spider icon to end this level. Getting a perfect on this level is easy if you do it the cheap way. Just swing by, and do a homing punch. Wash, rinse, repeat. Watch out for the guys with guns though. Style points are awarded for the way you do combat. Mix your attacks up instead of doing the same old thing to get the goods. Remember this from now on, because I won't mention it for later levels. "JediLink" confirms my sneaking suspicion that the "Combat" bonus is for getting rid of every bad guy in the level. He also points out that it is a good idea to wait until you have defeated every other thug in the level before you defeat the ones on the roof with the fleeing guy. So start searching through the level and beat those darn thugs up! Also, I discovered that there is another combo icon in this level shortly after I wrote the first version of the guide. To get it, from the building you start the level on, start web slinging to your right and as high as you can go. Pass the "Bortolux" building and down below you, you will see a billboard for "Latvania". Climb to the top of the building that this billboard is on and directly in front of you will be a very tall building and to the left of it, a shorter one. It has white lines going down it and those orange windows. Get on the roof of that building. (The shorter one). On top, you will find a maze like corridor, similar to the one where the lady wanting her purse is hidden. I don't quite remember where, but just search every nook and cranny on this roof top to find the Web Hit (B,B,Y). #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 2. Warehouse Hunt #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ BONUSES; Level Completion Stealth Bonus Secret(s) Found Style The first thing to worry about here is getting the Backflip Kick (B,X,X) combo. As you run out the first door, it is directly in your path so you can't miss it. Now, the stealth bonus is easier to get than you would think. First, run out the second door, to the place with the car in the middle, but make sure to stop once out the door. Make sure you are still in that shadows. You can tell you are hidden in shadows when Spider-Man's face is completely blue. Now, zip up onto the ceiling. Crawl forward, across the room, towards the garage door. Stop when you are fairly close to it. And make sure you remain in the shadows all the time. Your goal is to drop down at just the right time and enter the garage door without being seen. If you enter the regular door next to it, you can also sneak up on an enemy in here. Anyway, once the guard below you and the one patrolling the upper catwalk are turned so that they can't see you, drop down and run for the door. Once you're through, you are successful. Make sure that after you are in the door, the guards in that room still don't see you. It doesn't matter that any other guards see you, just the ones in the stealth room. Next up is the secret bonus. This one is simple. Right after the stealth room, in this hallway, before you leave it, you will see a stack of wood boxes. Just jump through the opening at the upper left side of them and it will tell you that you found a secret area. Badda bing, that's it. And um…beat up those pesky thugs of course. After you go through the door, you'll be in a room where you are attacked by multiple thugs. If you are getting pounded, don't be afraid to web sling away to the ceiling to regroup. Make sure to take out the guy in the red with the gun before anyone else. Directly afterwards, you will have to go around the side of a semi truck. As soon as you step forward a little ways, your spider senses will go off, so step back because that forklift ahead of you is ready to squish you. After dodging it, beat up the thug and go back there. Stand on the grating and zip upward. From now on, remember that almost every time you see a grating on the floor like this, it will most likely have a duct you can zip up into directly above. Take the first left in the duct. If you go forward, you'll get fried. Now, drop down and press the B button near the flashing red button to shut off the power in that duct (convenient that they have power buttons to shut off the practical cut electrical wires nearby). Anyway, go back up into the duct and continue past the previously electrified hall. You'll find that you need a fuse to operate the control panel that will open a door. Some dumb thug yanked it out, so you'll have to beat the crap out of him of course. Go forward into the next room and a couple thugs will assault you. Make note of the grating in this room, but don't go up into the duct just yet. Go into another room to be attacked by, you guessed it, more thugs. Pull a Mr. T on them. As you try to enter the door, you'll hear the dumb thug taunt you, saying you aren't getting the fuse. Head through the open vent to the left of the door and all the way to the end then shut off another power button. Go back to the grating you made note of earlier, follow the duct through, and beat the thug down for the fuse. This thug is stronger than the average one, but not by a lot. Go back to the control panel and activate that sucker. Exit back to the room with the locked door via the duct in this room. You'll be assaulted by numerous thugs, but it's nothing you can't handle. Once you've beaten them, run towards the open door to end this level. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 3.

Follow the duct up until you get to a hole you can drop down into. Stop right there mister. We want to go for a secret in this level, and it will involve a little stealth. Head to the left of this hole and you will come upon another hole. Now drop down. You have to work quickly in this room or you will be seen. And if you are, the secret is blown. So, here's what to do. After dropping down, step forward a little bit and zip up onto the ceiling in this room. Immediately start crawling forward, and hug the wall to your right as much as you can. Continue hugging the wall all the way around, until you see a closed door directly across from you. Crawl towards that door (don't zip or you'll be spotted) and crawl down the wall in front of it. It will open up and not only will you avoid fighting extra goons, you will also receive the secret bonus. But that's not all. In the room, you will collect the Advanced Web Dome (X + Right on the D-Pad twice). What could be better? Proper credit goes to "JediLink" of the Game FAQS message boards for being the first to discover this tricky secret. After getting that, go back out into the room and either fight the goons or go into the room directly to your left as you exit. You will see steam shooting out so slow your role for a minute. Activate look around mode and aim for the wall on the opposite side. When the steam clears, zip on over there. Continue down the hallway and collect another gold spider icon, this time the Handspring (X,A,X). Go into the next room and prepare to face the wrath of loads of thugs. While waxing these suckers, make sure to put priority on the guys with guns. And don't be afraid to hightail it to higher ground if you're getting your butt kicked. Once you've defeated enough guys to get the key, use it on the locked door in the corner and move on. Continue down a hallway until you come into a room with stairs leading up and some steam shooting. You could take the stairs and get burnt by steam like a stupid normal man, but you're not a man. You're a Spider-Man! Stand in the middle of the room and zip right up. Follow the hallways to your first boss encounter. Time to extract some payback on this punk. BOSS FIGHT: Uncle Ben's Killer You've got a couple of options in this battle. One is cheap and time consuming while the other is quicker and more dangerous. Or you can mix the two. Either way though, your first step will be going into the main room and zipping up onto the ceiling. One option is to continually shoot impact webbing at the guy from the ceiling. He will dodge a lot of shots, but get hit by a few as well. You can collect the blue spider icon to refill your webbing and start the process over again as well. Also note that he will shoot you occasionally while doing this. But it won't be as bad as taking a head on hit on the ground. The other option is to wait on the ceiling until he turns his back, then to drop down and combo him. Don't bother trying to combo him more than once, as he will begin dodging. Tying him up in webbing won't work either. I personally just kept impact webbing him until I ran out, then dropped down and whupped on him. It's your decision though. Either way, once he is dead, this level is over. Also on a side note, getting the time bonus on this level isn't very difficult. Just skip all the battles in first room and only fight in the second room until you get the key. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 4.

Your first task is to swing forward, break your line and swing in the opposite direction. Yawn. Easy stuff. The next one is to lock onto the target in the air while swinging by. Ho-hum. Just follow your compass to the target. After that, you'll have to lock on and shoot webbing at the target. Thankfully this will be the last of these boring tasks. Follow your compass back to the beginning of the level and walk into the spider icon to really begin the level. You will now have to fight off a slew of light mechs. First you will fight just one. Then two. Then three. And so on. The best way to knock these guys out is with a single swinging kick. You can try other methods if you can't get the timing for a kick down, but if you're serious about getting the perfect in this level, you will have to do the swinging kick. The light mechs have a laser beam attack that is absolutely brutal on the higher difficulties. It can rip you apart in a matter of seconds. You'll want to be extra careful in a group of them. They also have an attack that shoots an energy ball at you. This isn't much of a concern. Also note that you cannot jump onto these guys backs, so don't bother trying. To get the HKs bonus, you'll have to land on various building and defeat the spider like robots there. Sometimes, it takes a while for the HKs to appear. You might have to kill a few light mechs before they do. Just keep landing on building until you find some. HKs aren't much of a threat, but you'll want to be wary of their flamethrower attack. It can kill you quickly. Also, you'll be a sitting target for the light mechs while fighting the HKs, so move and dodge often. To get a perfect, you will need to master that swinging kick! Once you do, you can blaze through the light mechs quickly and beat this level. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 5.

They fight back and they have a whole heck of a lot of health. The one civilian in this level who is getting beat up though, does not fight back and has a little less health. So when the time comes to rescue him and the cop, you know your priorities. At the beginning of the level let the cop handle business for a bit while you go and get a new combo Head to the upper right as far as you can on the screen and on the ground is a gold spider icon for the Scissor Kick (X,B,X). Now, go join forces with the copper to lay a good old-fashioned ass whomping on the bad guys. Once you've saved him you will be shown a cut scene showing you where to head to next. Go there now grasshopper! And remember, the civilian takes priority. So you there yet? Good. You know the routine. Teach these dudes that crime really doesn't pay. Well, it does, but you will get your face kicked in for doing it. Now, go help the other cop in the main hallway out. After you've helped him, you will be shown a cut scene in which Spidey insults Shocker's choice of garb, then you will have to save a civilian before a crumbling tower falls onto him. And of course the idiot doesn't even notice the thing is about to fall on him because he's – you guessed it – talking on his cell phone. I tell ya' boys and girls, those things are the cause of most problems today. Anyway, run over and grab him, then deposit him in the glowing circle on the ground to save the day. Beat up some more thugs, this time without having to worry about watching another guys health meter. After beating them in, watch the cut scene to see where your next target is, then go help the 2 guards fend off a swarm of thugs. After doing that, watch a cut scene and this level is over. Getting the time bonus on this level couldn't be more straightforward. It shows you exactly where to go during every part of the level, it is basically on rails. Just keep trying until you are fast enough to beat it. Getting a perfect score can be a little fun though. A cool trick is to tie up the thugs with your webbing, then let the cops (slowly) beat the thug up. There will be a couple instances in which there won't be any cops around to do your dirty work though, but even then you can just hang on the ceiling and shoot impact webbing. No thugs in this level carry guns. This method will take a little patience, but it almost guarantees you a perfect. "JediLink" writes in telling how to get another gold combo icon on this level. To get it, head straight ahead from where you begin, and go down in the tunnel between the two staircases. The passages down here are all blocked off, but climb the ceiling to your left to collect the High Web Hit (B,X,Y) combo. Thanks Jedi! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 6.

Make quick work of them, and then move on. As soon as you are out of the hallway, pay attention to your left though, because there is a machine gun toting thug. He's slightly tougher than the average one. Dispose of him, collect the key and go out the door Shocker did. Head across the water and into the hallway across from where you came in. Move forward a little and a couple of goons will give you a warm welcome. Waste them. Move into the next room. Take the thugs on this top tier out before doing anything else. Now drop down into the second tier and take out the machine gun thug. Activate the two switches here to open the door on the third level. Jump down to the third level and get rid of the stronger than average thug and move on. Go across another stream of water into a large room. Watch the cut scene. You'll find that Vic has started a water flow you can't get past. And he has ripped the switch for it right out of the way. Oh, that zany Vic. Beat down the thugs in here. Collect the obviously placed Dive Bomb (B, A, A) combo. Then go into the room Vic ran into. Vic will run away from you in here. And as you chase him, several of his friends will pop out to greet you. Give them a fist in the face to say thanks, and then when you catch up to Vic, tie him up in some webbing to stop him. Combo him, tie him up and repeat till he coughs up the valve. When you have gotten the valve, return to the main room and place it back in the wall that Vic ripped it out of, then activate it. Once the water has stopped flowing out, run down the pipe. As you come out, you'll see a room above where you came in from. Crawl on up there, enter the room and activate the switch. Continue on until you reach a room where a door shuts behind you when you enter. A couple of guys on the ground attack you. Ignore them for now, and go up top where there are guys with guns and grenades. Kill them, then the regular guys. The door will open and in comes a new pack of goons. Some have grenades, so be careful. You'll get a key once they are all downed. Use it to open a door at the very bottom pit of this room, and activate the switch in there. This will open a door. Enter it to exit this level. Getting a time bonus on this level is the same as all of them. Work fast, know the exact route and avoid any unnecessary battles. Getting that Combat bonus is as simple as laying the smack down on every single thug in the level. "JediLink" proves that activating that switch back at the room you entered when you came out of the giant pipe wasn't a waste of time and how to get the secret bonus in this level as well as showing me a new a combo to get! Three birds in one stone is nice. After pulling that switch, simply head back out the way you came in the giant pipe and drop down into the place that the water was previously pouring into. You should now see an open door. Head on in and grab the Advanced Web Gloves (Y + Left on the D-Pad twice.) This move will come in handy for that extra boost of power you may need to take out guys like Scorpion. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 7.

You'll begin this level facing him down a long tunnel. Try entering and he will shoot a shockwave at you. Try one of the other 3 tunnels and he will just run to them and shoot another shockwave at you. So what's a spider to do? Precise web-zipping of course. Stand in front of the left-most of the four tunnels and go into look around mode. Aim for the spot just under the red light, where the black is. You'll have to be pretty precise, so it might take a few tries. If you land just right, you'll be in a crossway between the tunnels that is safe from Shocker's blasts. Continue zipping through these safe spots until your catch up with Shocker and he runs off. Pull the level on the left to move the train. This will open up a path for you to cross. As soon as you get to the top, get ready to test your Spider agility. You will see a gold spider combo icon floating past in the rushing water quickly. You only get one chance to nab it, so act fast. This will give you the secret bonus for the level as well as the Uppercut (X,X,B) combo. Move onward into the next room, and then from there, the next. You will now confront Shocker since there is no where left for the little coward to run. BOSS FIGHT: Shocker Shocker doesn't really have that many moves and most are predictable and easy to avoid. When you are far away, he will shoot shocker rings at you. Just be swinging when he does this and you'll be fine. He also has a move that he uses to hit the ground and jump, which will also hurt you if you're in close proximity. That's why you will have to do this one combo at a time. His other move is a whirlwind that pulls you in. Very slowly. After he does this move is your chance to attack, as he will be dizzy. Also, when he's not doing that, use impact webbing to knock a little on him. Getting a time bonus on this level isn't tough. Just go through and beat Shocker. Preferably fast of course. Getting a perfect isn't tough either. During the boss fight, just have patience. Avoid him and swing around, shooting impact webbing occasionally until he does the whirlwind move, then go in and combo him once. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 8.

You will be climbing a clock tower, all the while, the Vulture throwing grenades down at you. He has also planted proximity mines and spider bombs, which will follow you and then detonate. There are three different aggressions factors in this level. You begin the second one when you see the cut scene with the Vulture. You begin the third when the music changes. You will clearly notice the difference between the three. I won't provide a step-by-step walkthrough here, as it would be too hard to write down every single level you climb up and the bombs are somewhat random anyway. Just some general tips. Remember Vultures grenades bounce. The spider-bombs are easy to out run by zipping up. When you cant go up stairs anymore, make sure to look around for an opening in the middle of the tower. That's about all I can provide you with. Getting a perfect and a time bonus will be challenging, but it's in your hands this time. There aren't any specific tips I can give for either. Also, make sure to collect the Gravity Slam (B,B,A) combo. Good luck. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 9.

It is pretty easy too. You'll chase Vulture through the city, with him lobbing razor feathers at you and big bomb things occasionally. With the feathers, just break your line for a sec. With the big bomb…well. The same thing. But he will use it sometimes when you are close to him, which is very hard to avoid. Note that you can't hurt Vulture in this level. Also note, when he shoots the billboard and the water tank, you don't have a choice to chase him or fix the things; you have to or the mission will end. To fix them, simply set down next to them and spray your webbing just as you would to tie up a thug. Getting a perfect and time on this level will probably come at the same time that you get the Vulture proximity bonus. For those who don't have common sense, chasing right behind Vulture is not the best route. He follows the same path every time. Learn it, and then cut him off at buildings. Just learn the path young one, and you will have all the bonuses here in no time. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 10.

In the air, you have several choices of attack. But what would you choose with an old man? Why, jumping on him and smacking the crap out of him of course. Just jump on Vulture while he is in the air and begin punching him until he flies off to the building. Land on the building and wail on him. You only have time for a few combos before he takes off again, and when he does, it will hurt you if you're in close range to him, so back off after a few. Also note that, occasionally, while he is in the air and you attempt to jump on him, he will shoot a big bomb up at you. I haven't found a way around it, but he doesn't seem to use it often. If he does it and you're going for perfect, just restart the level and try again. Keep it up and this old bird will fall before you can say "Squawk!" "TopVideoGamer" also points us towards not one, but two gold spider icons in this level! To get the first, go onto the building that Vulture lands on whenever you damage him in the air enough. You'll see a pathway under the gargoyle-like statues. Just follow the path way around until you run into the Sting (B,X,B) combo. To get the second, you'll have to go to the very top of the building. It's too high up to web swing there however, and you will be electrocuted if you don't wait until the storm in the level subsides. Once it finally does, ground Vulture (go ahead and beat on him before hand though) then begin climbing the building. Get to the very tippy top of the building and you will earn the Dive Kick (B,A,X) combo. Note that it will get too narrow to zip up at the very top of the building eventually and you will need to crawl the rest of the way. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 11.

Too bad he looks the way he does. But that's just my personal opinion. Anyway, he will fight as well, but it is more like babysitting than teaming up. Oh well. First things first, let's get the secret. Head for the second level of the parking lot and enter the pathway leading up to the third level. Simply collect the red spider icon here to get the secret. You will have to get hit once before you can collect it first of course. Other than that, getting the other bonuses is a breeze. You will be fighting HKs again, so use the same tactics as you did in OsCorp's Gambit level. To get the protected Scorpion bonus, just stick close to him and make sure his health doesn't get too low. Like I said, baby sitting. This is a piece of cake. "TopVideoGamer" also brought to my attention that you will receive the Advanced Web Dome in this level in the secret area instead of a health icon if you did not first get it in the "Birth Of A Hero" level. Thanks again Top! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 12.

First thing you need to do in this level is collect the obviously placed combos, Tackle (X,A,A). After that, it's time to face Scorpion. BOSS FIGHT: Scorpion While on the ground, Scorpion will shoot lasers out of his tail at you. These are fast and he can hit you while you are comboing him. He will also take a tail swipe occasionally. He has a devastating whirlwind slash as well. And he has an easy to avoid tackle. With so many ground moves, you'll want to fight unfair. You don't have to fight like a man because remember, you are a Spider-Man. Take to the air, swinging, and shooting impact webbing as much as you can. Once you run out, you'll want to start with the fair fighting. The key times to hit him are when he has missed a tackle or the whirlwind slash. The tackle is easily dodged or jumped over and the slash is harder to see coming, but still possible to dodge. Whenever he does these, use a combo that jumps away, like the Handspring or the Dive-Bomb. For some reason, these moves seem to really hurt him. You'll want to try for the no pickups used bonus the first time you fight him, but if you can't get it, that's okay. There are 4 health pickups (2 in the main room and 2 in a hallway) so he shouldn't be too much of a problem. After beating him, Scorpion runs off, presumably to uncover the secret shadow government who has been putting the little people in his milk to spy on him. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 13.

Your first objective is to save MJ. She's really in no immediate danger of dying. That blimp is going slooooow. Just watch that once you pick her up, Goblin doesn't shoot you to death. This rarely happens as he isn't as aggressive in this level as others, but it's a possibility. Once you've safely deposited Mary Jane, begin battling Goblin. Really, I think all attacks work well on Goblin. The swinging kick is the hardest to connect with, and it does about the same damage as any other move. Goblin's attacks are many. He has all kinds of different pumpkin bombs he will against you depending on where you are. The nastiest one is when you are chasing him and he throws one that splits into multi bombs. Even still, that doesn't do much. When he zooms ahead and doubles back towards you, he is coming to shoot you with his machine guns, so watch out. My favorite attack to use is jumping on him and wailing away. He is harder to jump onto than Vulture, but if you watch his patterns, you'll get him. Also take note, he throws you off and it does damage, so if you are trying to go for the perfect bonus, don't jump on him (unless you jump off quickly). Whatever you do to hurt him, do it until he runs away, then give chase. Note that you can't hurt him while he is running away. When he tries to knock down the radio tower, just go web up all 4 ends of it. He will attack you while you do it, so be careful. After he does that, fight him some more, and then give chase when he runs off again. When you are chasing him this time, he will plant air mines, so stay above him and they won't affect you. When you reach the bridge, web it up, fight some more, give chase and fight some more. After that, this level is over. Getting a perfect on this level won't be easy at all. But getting a time couldn't be any more straightforward. You just do it as fast as you can. Well, that's the same with all time bonuses, but this one is kinda on rails more than most stages. Good luck with that perfect, because I know I haven't got it. "JediLink" comes through again with a tip to make getting the perfect here easier. He used Green Goblin to do it, just evading the other Goblin and playing "chicken" with him, then pumping him full of spear shots. Using Goblin is a good tactic for any level in which you can't seem to do it as Spidey. He is a lot easier to use overall. Keep that in mind. Once again, "JediLink" provides information leading straight to the Low Web Hit (X,X,Y). To obtain it, simply climb to the very top of the building you begin the level on and lo and behold, you'll find a gold spider icon. Note that the altitude gets so high that you can't web swing up here, so be sure Goblin doesn't shoot you off the side of the building. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 14. The Offer #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ BONUSES; Level Completion Time Perfect Ride Goblin Style BOSS FIGHT: Green Goblin Okay, this time, I'll count it as a boss fight, since it's focused on just the Goblin. In the air, he is the same as last time. If you want that "Ride Goblin" bonus (I won't even go there…) you will have to jump on him at last once. Go on and try it. I use it as my exclusive means of attack in this level. But once again, use whatever attack you like best. When he lands, follow him into the building. He is much tougher on the ground than he is in the air, believe me. He still has all of his pumpkin throwing abilities and he has some really kick butt moves to take you down with. First thing in the building, collect the in-plain-sight Flip Mule (X,X,A) combo. Now, get ready to rumbleeeeeeee. No longer can you use a cheap swing by and punch. He'll catch you in mid-air and ground you. First things first, use up all your impact webbing. Don't be ashamed. Goblin is tough. Once you run out, your only chance is to dodge his combos and then nail him with one of your own. This is easier said than done though. He has a high roundhouse, low sweep combo that is quick and mean and that grabby move he uses to pull your butt out of the air. He also has a mean punch combo. The best part about these combos is that you can roll out of any of them at any time (except grabby) and nail him with your own. But you will still take hits. And if you aren't used to dodging, you have to learn it here. And also, he will stop his own combo if you dodge it sometimes. It's hard to find a good time to nail him. If he keeps stopping his combos when you roll out and hit him, then wait for him to do grabby move and he will be wide open. Also, if you're thinking about using the web dome to blow him down, it will work sometimes, but he can use grabby to get you right through the dome. After enough hits, he takes back to the air. Go get him and ground him again. This time, the fight will take place on an electrified floor. Here, it is just easier to collect a refill on your webbing and shoot impact webbing. It will only take a couple shots to take him down. Getting a time bonus here isn't too hard. But that perfect again… that's a killer. Good luck with it and keep in mind that using the Green Goblin is a lot easier than Spidey. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 15.

On easy mode, it's laughable. On normal, it's no challenge. On hero, it's unbelievably hard. It all comes down to luck in the end, though there is some skill involved. You'll want to begin by web slinging straight ahead. As you are jumping in to the first bomb, impact web the light mech. Remember, these mechs can shred you in seconds. There is another light mech patrolling here, but if you land just right, he won't notice you. After disarming the bomb, head to the left of the large building with the bomb in between it to avoid more light mechs. Disarm the bomb in the middle of the building. Now, if you did this fast, the helicopter won't come at all. If not, it will be there. If it is, just rise up above it. Try and shoot the light mech on your way with impact webbing, but don't waste too much on it. At the next bomb, try and shoot the light mech patrolling it before landing and disarming it. Now, go straight ahead towards the next bomb, above the spotlight on the side of the building. As you are moving past the next few building be careful, because a roving helicopter will have a searchlight moving around. Go to the next bomb, avoiding the spotlights around it and shooting the light mech patrolling the sky. Now, pick up the pace and head for the next bomb. You will have to go either under or above the spotlight ahead, depending on where you are. Either way, try and shoot both patrolling light mechs before you land, but don't waste time doing it. That's something you can't spare. It's almost impossible to get both, but hopefully you do. Start to go towards the next bomb. Cut in between the buildings, even though there is a light mech there. You don't have time to go around the end building. Don't try and take out anymore light mechs, there is no time. You just have to hope they don't shred your ass here. After deactivating it, move on to the next bomb. Avoid the spotlights down this last stretch. It's tough. And there are light mechs. Just hope you make it. If you can do this, you can get the time bonus. The perfect bonus? Hah! You expect me to play that again?? No way. In Spider-Man's words, "I'm gonna have some nasty words for the guy who made this level. But first, I'm gonna go somewhere quiet and have a heart attack". Well, that's not exactly what he said. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 16.

The only thing that might be even a little challenging is getting the remaining health and pickups used bonuses at the same time, but even then, you can just do it twice and it'd take less than five minutes. Just stay in the air the whole level. Use the homing punch on the r-bats. And if you're going for the r-bats destroyed bonus, you will have to kill some extra ones. Overall, you shouldn't have any problems with this level whatsoever. Benny Rakov provides us with an alternative way to beating the level. Feeling that you've been neglecting all of your Spider powers? Well, here's your chance to use the Web Dome! Just land on a building, activate it and wait for the R-bats to close in, then nail 'em! Thanks for the cool tip Benny! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 17.

Just remember this one key thing. You can tie up guards with webbing and as long as they don't see you, they won't sound the alarm when they break out. But if they do see you, even tied up in webbing, they will sound the alarm when they break out. Keeping that in mind, let's go. In the first area run forward into the second shadow area, cling to the ceiling and wait for the guard to walk behind you. When he does, wait until he is just past the third shadow area and zip over there. Now, when he walks behind you, tie him up in your webbing and move into the next room. Make sure not to get caught in the camera here. Move into the next room. Climb straight up the wall in front of you and go into the door in front of you. Spider-Man talks about a puzzle you have to solve. Good thing Harry is the son of the guys company he is breaking into huh? Anyway, zip straight up from where you are currently at. Tie up the guard when you can and get behind him, into a different shadow area. Once on this ceiling, wait till he turns his back again, then again tie him up and grab the High Stomp (X,B,A,) combo icon. Get back on the ceiling and wait until he passes under you again so that you can move forward in the room (not forgetting to tie him up of course). You'll see an active computer in the far left corner. You want to activate it to get part of the code. From here, zip up and over to the top of the hall at the stairs, being careful not to be seen by the patrolling guards and tying them up/avoiding them. Go up the stairs in the middle of this hallway, through the door. Be careful not to set off the light or alert the guard to your presence and get two more pieces to the puzzle in this room. Exit through the door next to the light in the corner. Jump down these stairs and enter the next room, again getting two pieces and again being careful not to be caught. Then, zip back up the hallway you were previously in. Enter the door across from the stairway you previously entered. The puzzle is pretty simple. Start with the mostly blue piece. Then the half blue, half purple piece. Then the half purple, half pink piece. Then the half pink, part orange. And then the last one. Basically, just make them go from one color to another. This level is over. Getting perfect here is the same as getting stealth. If you weren't discovered, you should have no reason to not have a perfect. Getting time means you're going to have to forget all about stealth. Just watch out for those blasted robots. "JediLink" and "PS2 4 Life" discover the secret behind the… well, secret. Apparently, the developers at Treyarch decided to throw something that doesn't make sense at all in. To activate the secret bonus for this level, get to the part with the elevators. Now, activate the elevator switch closest to you and on the right as you enter the room. Then, activate the elevator switch directly across from that one. Finally, activate the only other elevator switch on the left side. That's it. That is the secret. Makes no sense to you? You're not alone. Treyarch must have been high when they thought this one up. Also note that you will get no confirmation saying that you activated the secret when you do. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 18.

Outrunning the robots really isn't that hard anyway. But if you want that ever- elusive perfect, you'll have to be stealthier than a stealthy stealth. Getting a time means that you can just run through the level like a mad man. Hey look, I'm being original. I put that stuff at the beginning instead of the end this time. Whee? Anyway, go out in the hallway. There are two guards patrolling, both easy to pass by without being seen. Just use the same shadow, tie up and ceiling routine as last round. As a bonus, in this level, the guards can't see you on the ceiling whether you are in shadows or not. Move into the next room you stealthy person, you. Watch out for those laser beams. They'll alert the robots. To get by them, use look around mode and zip at just the right time. Now, get on the ceiling quick. Roving lights might spot you. From here, get into look around mode and create a zip right between all of these stinking lasers to the other side. Make sure it doesn't go through one though. Get the Palm (B,X,A) combo on the ceiling and get on then turn around. Stay on the ceiling. You'll notice a guard patrolling below. Simplton. Head to the end of the hall he is patrolling and tie him up when he isn't looking. Go into this room, which should be marked by an "A". The doc makes this all sound harder than it is. Just hit the switch in room A, then B. Then go into the rooms between them. Then hit the switch labeled A/B. Easy enough right? Right. So get to it. You have to hit them in order though. Remember that. It's important. Done yet? Good, let's move on. Now, head to the door where it previously told you to go to control rooms A and B first. You can enter now. In here, you'll find a weird grid type thing. It's not as daunting as it looks. Just jump one top of one of the black boxes with the green things inside. Make a zip line to the things just like the one you are standing on across the room. Try and time it so that you don't fly through the cameras. Anyway, continue on. You will enter a room with a wildly changing grid of lasers. Watch the pattern very carefully because this one is hard to explain. Once you pass it, head into the hallway ahead and enter the lone door on the right side. Grab the Head Hammer (B,A,B) combo inside, then exit and enter the "C" door. Activate the switch. Try and enter the "D" door now. You'll find it is locked, but the weenie with the card key is on his way to you. Stick up to the ceiling. When he gets there, web him so he can't run and clock him out with a single punch. Grab his keycard and then enter the "D" door. Activate the switch and then return to the room where you activated the "A/B" switch. Activate the "C/D" switch and exit this level. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 19.

He is entirely motionless as long as you stay close enough to him. But he has missile turrets on his back and they don't like you. He also has these laser beam shooters that home in on you. And to top it off, there are light mechs hovering around him like that's their mommy. And if you stray too far from him, you will wake him up… he has a huge laser that can destroy you in seconds. So how will you deactivate those generators on the far side without waking big boy up? Easy enough. Impact webbing. If you swing out at just the right length, you won't go too far away from him and you will still hit the generators with your impact webbing. This just leaves the generators on his back and underneath him. You might get ripped by lasers and missiles while you do this, but thankfully there are loads of health power ups scattered about the arena. Once the generators are down, simply land on his "neck" and begin punching and kicking. This sucker's going down. "LordFakman" sends in a tip that just might make getting a perfect a tad easier. (Although it is still, very, very hard). Simply use the catwalk up in the sky to shoot impact webbing down on any of the targets below. The light mechs often hit the railing while you are doing this and none of Ultimate's weapons can hit you unless you jump at the wrong moment. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 20.

Unless you're going for the perfect and supersoldiers killed bonuses. "PS2 4 Life" says that it is possible to get that supersoldiers killed bonus by using the Green Goblin and killing TONS of supersoldiers. He says a good strategy is to stay on that upper hallway and just fly back and forth between the left and right switch rooms as necessary as the red health icons within each regenerate fairly quickly. Also, to get a perfect with Spider-Man is a joke, so please when attempting it, use Green Goblin. Anyways, you begin in the hallway you left "Breaking and Entering" in. Head straight ahead and grab the Haymaker (X,A,B) combo, then head all the way to the right of the hallway and follow it into a room. Press the switch in here to deactivate the machine gun turrets. Now, head the opposite way, all the way to the left of the hallway into a room. Press the switch here to deactivate the laser room switch. Now, go down in the room where all that was deactivated. Press the switch on the far right corner of the wall, and then enter the door directly across from it. Jump down the stairs and enter the next set of doors. Press the switch to open the gate. It will take a while to open, so kill the supersoldier, or wait around and dodge it. Once it is open, just swing to freedom down this hallway. Swing, swing I said! Swing! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 21.

Again, the trick is in cutting him off and knowing his route. (Which will always stay the same). The game defaults to lock-on mode, and you might want to keep it for a run to find out his pattern, but after that, don't use it. It hinders your movement when trying to cut Goblin off. Since the only bonus here is perfect, that isn't too important, or at least you think. If you follow him directly, you will be nailed by one of his air mines. He uses loads of them this time. So find a different way, but still staying close enough so that he doesn't fly off with MJ. Remember again, knowing his path is the key. Also remember that he is much faster than Vulture. Happy hunting! #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 22. Face-Off At The Bridge #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ BONUSES; No Bonuses FINAL BOSS FIGHT: Green Goblin Since there aren't any bonuses here, this level just comes down to beating it. Right away, you'll have to save MJ before the fire on the bridge gets to where she is. This isn't too tough, but while you are attempting it, the Goblin will be shooting at you and lobbing bombs your way. Any of this stray fire can kill Mary Jane. So work quickly, and if it takes a couple tries, don't be frustrated… it took me a couple as well. Once she is safe and sound (read: out of your freaking way) you can deal with the Goblin. In the air, he is a little tougher than he was back at "The Offer" but not by much. On the ground, he can be a real pain. He'll do that pouncing move over and over. There is an easier solution though. If you've mastered the skill to "Ride Goblin", use it to the max here. Eventually, he will start throwing you off of the glider before you can even land a single punch, but you will have take a good portion of life off of his life bar by then. You won't have even nicked his blue bar, but that's not what counts. As soon as you've got him down to the point where he is just throwing you, use punches and swinging kicks or impact webbing to lower his blue life bar and ground him. He should have very little health left. Go ahead and use cheap tactics, as payback for "Race Against Time". Swing by him and hit him with some impact webbing. Keep in mind though, that even though he is not on his glider, it will attack you. It isn't too much of a threat. And if you're really frustrated, get up in his face and lay it on him the old fashioned way. But note, that he will pounce on you a lot so be ready by rolling away or swinging away. Once he is beaten, enjoy the ending. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ V.

This is the first FAQ I have written. I've been meaning to for a while, but I kept pushing it off. However, I got Spider-Man very soon after it came out and beat it quickly. I decided to do a FAQ for this because; 1. I found a neato glitch. 2. There weren't any other FAQs for it. (At the time I began writing anyway.) 3. It's a good game to begin with for a beginning FAQ author. Not too overwhelming. On the more personal side of things, I'm a male and my name is Adam Weese. I'm 17, from the great (?) state of Texas. I frequent the Game FAQs message boards occasionally, under the name "Adam W". I also frequent the Sonic Fan Boardz (http://pub12.ezboard.com/bsonicfanboardz) and the ODB Forums (http://pub32.ezboard.com/bodbnext). All right, enough shameless plugs now. I own a PS2 and a GameCube. I have been gaming for over 10 years, cutting my teeth on the NES and really sinking in with the Genesis. I've currently got a job where I get to keep most of my money, so I am usually up with the latest games now. I don't have a favorite type of game really; I like almost everything. Anyway, that's enough babbling from me. I sincerely thank anyone who read this guide and really hope you got some use out of it. I enjoyed writing it therefore I hope everyone enjoyed reading it. And if you actually read the About The Author section, give yourself an extra cookie. #^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^ 4.

At the time of this writing, a Spider-Man sequel is already rumored to be in the works, so let's hope we hear more about that at E3. My future plans, FAQ-wise are unknown as anything is present to change. But, as of right now, Resident Evil is just around the corner and I have always had a fondness for that series. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I believe that would be my next target. As for right now though, this FAQ is over. Thanks everyone and peace! -Fin
