Introduction ======================================= Hello, it's me again! Well, I haven't posted a guide in a while so here is my first boss FAQ that I made. This may be an old Game boy advance game but, I remembered playing this and liked it. All I have to say about all the boss battles can be found here and I hope it helps. Have fun and enjoy my first boss walkthrough! ======================================= 2. Version history ======================================= History of updates for this guide: Version 1.0 (19.08.09) - Guide created and uploaded Version 1.50 (20.08.09) - Fixed a few grammar mistakes Version 1.77 (07.03.10) - Added Myspace, Twitter and Facebook account ULRs at the contac and info section ________________________________ ======================|Section B: Game introduction |====================== |________________________________| ======================================= 3. Controls ======================================= Here is a list of all the controls in the game: Basic controls: D-pad - Move A button - Normal attack B button - Power attack Start - Pause the game Select - Not used R button - Jump L button - Mutant power Advanced controls: D-pad (rapidly left or right) - Run A button (near enemies) - Trow ======================================= 4. Characters ======================================= Wolverine: Real name: Logan Height: 5'3 Weight: 195 Lbs. Abilities: Fast healing, metal skeleton and razor sharp claws This is my favorite character in the game and my favorite x-man. I don't know why he can't heal in this game but, I enjoy playing as him. He has fast attacks and cuts the enemies to shreds. Storm: Real Name: Ororo Munroe Height: 5'11 Weight: 127 Lbs. Abilities: Control over weather I can't say that I am a big fan of Storm but, she is Ok in this game. Her regular attacks are strong and she is not so useless. Cyclopes: Real name: Scott Summers Height: 6'3 Weight: 185 Lbs. Abilities: Energy beams My mother's favorite X-man. He is the leader of the X-men so this means he is important. His energy beams are useful if you are in a crowded place. Rogue: Real name: Unrevealed Height: 5'8 Weight: 120 Lbs. Abilitys: Super strength, absorbs mutant powers Rogue is a decent character and is a good fighter. I might say that she is one of my favorite female x-man (or x-girl). ________________________________ ======================|Section C: Boss FAQ |====================== |________________________________| ======================================= 5. Boss walkthrough ======================================= From here my boss walkthrough begins. I will explain everything I can and including a few strategies. --------------------------------------- Stage 1: Xavier mansion --------------------------------------- Boss: The Blob Difficulty: Easy The Blob is the first boss in the game. He is huge and looks unbeatable but, that is not true actually he is pretty easy to beat. When the battle begins, take the health power up and prepare to face the Blob. If you are playing with Logan, just do him a combo and wait for him to get up. If you are with cyclopes hit him four times and retreat. Don't get too close or he will do you a belly hit. When he jumps in the air just hit him there. Just do this with all characters and get ready for the next stage! --------------------------------------- Stage 2: Canadian Showdown --------------------------------------- Boss: Cable Difficulty: Easy - Medium Cable appears to be the guardian of Department H. I suggest that you use mutant powers against this guy. When he trows a grenade time will slow down but you better avoid even his guns. The best way to dodge all his attack is to do him a combo then quickly run away from him. After he is down you will go inside Department H. --------------------------------------- Stage 3: Department H --------------------------------------- Sub boss: Sabertooth Difficulty: Easy Wolverine's long time nemesis, Sabretooth. He is actually pretty easy to beat. Make sure that the mines next to you aren't blown up because, you might used them to your advantage. They don't do much damage but it's fun to see him blow up. I don't know what he is doing in his mouth. Maybe he is clouding something. Anyway if you are a perfect button masher then Sabertooth won't be a problem. Boss: Gambit Difficulty: Medium My mother's second most favorite X-man. Ok enough about her let's talk about the boss. Gambit is actually tougher than Sabertooth but I think it should be the other way around. Do a combo and retreat. Watch out for the cards because they hurt. Your mutant power is very useful here so use it wisely. --------------------------------------- Stage 4: Black Bird --------------------------------------- Boss: The Phoenix Difficulty: Easy - medium She sounds hard but not if you know how to dodge her attacks. First take out the red robots but the green ones will keep respawning until Phoenix is defeated. She has two main attacks, create a shield to knock you off her and a little lightening at you. Avoiding the lightning is pretty easy. Keep a small distance when attacking her to avoid the shield. After she is down prepare for the next level. --------------------------------------- Stage 5: Sentinel base --------------------------------------- Boss: Juggernaut Difficulty: Medium This is the hardest boss so far. What ever you do don't tap the A button or he will counter you. Sentinels will keep coming to his aid so focus on Juggernaut. All his attacks are pretty strong and if he stomps the ground time will slow. Just smack him down and run away. The good thing is that you can charge up your mutant power multiple times here so you could beat him faster. --------------------------------------- Stage 6: Undersea base --------------------------------------- Boss: Magneto Difficulty: Easy My favorite villain. Well he has been a villain, an anti hero and even a hero. Ok enough let's cut it to the battle. Most of helmet heads attacks are from the ground and you can avoid them easy. He also creates shields like Phoenix so use the same strategy. Don't think the game is over yet. --------------------------------------- Stage 7: Paris --------------------------------------- Sub boss: Nightcrawler Difficulty: Easy - Medium Nightcrawler has a teleportation attack that friezes you and hits you with brutal force. If you can use your mutant powers on him atleast two times he won't be a problem. Remember to use the spikes from the left. Boss: Psylock Difficulty: Medium If you try to attack her, bam she will kick your butt. In order to beat her, you need to have mutant power or use brutal force. There are no spikes here only you and Psylock in a deadly mortal combat fight. Air attacks help here but not much. If you manage to beat her then prepare for the next round. --------------------------------------- Stage 8: The Savage Land --------------------------------------- Sub boss: Pterodactyl Difficulty: Easy If there weren't guys helping him out this would have been the easiest fight. Just go and punch him until he cryes for his mother. Boss: Beast Difficulty: Medium I never knew that mutants can walk on water until now. Beast is like a break dancer and uses it to hit you but, there is one which can freeze you so make sure you aren't close to him. Beast is also fast and follows you everywhere like a cold. Doing combos on him isn't hard but he does some damage. --------------------------------------- Stage 9: The Statue of Liberty --------------------------------------- Boss: Colossus Difficulty: Medium - hard In my opinion this is the hardest fight in the game. Not that Colossus is too hard but because of all the enemies on the screen that help him. Colossus will remind you of Juggernaut and he is nearly as strong as him. I suggest you use the same strategy but watch out for his special attack. It freezes you (like most) and does damage. The good thing is that you can quickly recharge your mutant power meter due to the fact that there are so many enemies. --------------------------------------- Stage 10: Genosha --------------------------------------- Boss: Silver Samurai Difficulty: Medium The main problem with this guy is his bombs and sword. If you are in the right place you should avoid them. Just do him combos and retreat. Mutant power is also required here. --------------------------------------- Stage 11: The Golden Gate --------------------------------------- Sub boss: Arch Angel Difficulty: Easy Angel is easy and when nobody is helping him then it's very easy. Do him a few combos and he is done for. Try not to use air attacks or he might hit you. Boss: Bishop Difficulty: Medium Bishop and Cable are like twin brothers who have the same attacks. The best way to take out Bishop is to pin him at the right corner and pummel his a$$ to death. Don't forget your mutant power. --------------------------------------- Stage 12: The blue area of the Moon --------------------------------------- Sub boss: Pyro Difficulty: Medium Pyro isn't that weak. Most important, dodge his attacks. Pin him at the fire and finish him with a few combos. Final boss: Apocalypse Difficulty: Easy - Medium Sorry to disappoint but if you expected a real final fight then you are wrong. He has good stamina but that can't save him. He has an annoying attack that hits you nomatter where you are. He also has this razor which can be easily avoided. Just use your mutant power on him and he is done. Congratulations! You have earned your terrible ending! ======================================= 6.
