(1.2) ______________________________________________________________________________ CONTROLS A-Shoot B-Slash C-Jump (1.3) ______________________________________________________________________________ WALKTHROUGH Here you go. ############################################################################## THE FORBIDDEN FORSEST ############################################################################## From the start walk forward. Kill the green plants before they explode. Watch out for the crows as you do this part. You need to climb on the tree limbs to the top. Watch out sometimes they will break. Just climb straight to the top. Then Go right and you will be on a long walkway made of a tree limb.As you walk forward watch out for the robots. When you reach the end drop down the hole. Follow the path and kill the robots you see. Drop down when you need to. On the third floor you should see rockets flying. Walk in their direction. You’ll have to dodge them. Keep going until you reach a machine. Dodge his missles and just attack him close up rapidly. You will destroy all his missles and destroy him quick. Walk forward. Drop down the hole then start walking right. You’ll have to jump on the tree limbs. Get high on them and you will see a pole. Grab onto it and continue moving right. When you reach the wall, latch onto it and climb down. Walk forward and you will see another machine to kill it crouch down beside it. When it opens attack rapidly. When it shoots a ball in your direction move back and latch onto the ceiling. Then jump down and attack again. Repeat until it’s dead. When it is dead drop down the hole it revealed. Walk right until you reach the wall. Climb up it. Watch out for the spiky crawlers. When you reach the top move right and climb down the hole. Watch out for the crawlers again. When you get to the bottom jump into the opening and Take a few steps forward to face the boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOSS To beat him wait until he lands in front of you. Score a couple quick hits then jump out of the way. Always stay moving as sometimes he tries to land practically on top of you. This isn’t too hard it’s just a matter of timing. Use the platforms above to your advantage. After he takes enough hits you will defeat him. Watch out for the fire. Climb up the platforms and jump onto the ledge on the right, into the orb. Level Complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ############################################################################## CASTLE METROPOLIS ############################################################################## Walk right, and climb up the wall when you reach it. Move left, wait for the purple energy beams to go away until to walk through. On the next floor avoid the beams again. Destroy the orb. Climb up the ladder in between the beams and begin moving left. Continue climbing up, avoiding the beams. When you reach the top walk out on the ledge. You need to jump off right at the edge to reach the purple orb. Enter it.Begin walking right. Eventually you will reach a tank. To destroy it walk close enough for it to start moving back and forth towards and away from you. Keep attacking and you should destroy most of it’s projectiles and destroy it in no time. Climb up the wall on the right and latch onto the ceiling then move left so you can drop on the ledge. Start moving left. Climb up the rope when you reach it. Watch out now the orbs shoot not only up and down, but cover the floor and ceiling in between them, be extra careful, and move right a little bit, climb up the rope and begin moving left. Climb up the wall and continue following the path. When you reach the next rope take it up and go left. Climb and keep moving. When you reach the top move right a little bit and you will see an opening and a pole. Latch on to it and follow it down. Right when you reach the end jump off of it and you will be sent flying right. You will reach a ledge. Start moving. This parts a little tricky be careful. It’s all about timing. Also before you start walking. From the ledge jump up and grab onto the wall and climb up so your on top of the building. Now jump off the right side. You will find a lot of powerups and nice things back there. Once your on the next floor continue on. Make sure you don’t get hit by the beams. When you get to the bottom begin walking right, and out of the opening. Walk into the next building. Prepare to face the next boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOSS To defeat this boss your going to need to avoid all the beams. Make your way around the room and hit those purple, glowing orbs. If you hit one enough it will be sent flying at him. Make sense? Alright just hit all the orbs at him and his health should be way down. Then just hit him a couple times and he’ll die. Go down to the bottom level and walk right, into the orb. Level Complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ############################################################################## HIVE LEVEL ############################################################################## First latch onto it then begin walking right. You should see a large chain. Climb up it then begin going right. You should see a floating platform. Jump onto it and hop from platform to platform going right. When you reach the last one there should be a floating platform above you. Latch onto it then when it gets to the top jump off onto the ledge left of you. Begin heading left, and up. Eventually you will see a pulley system. Jump on one of the platforms and head on up. Jump off when you reach the next walkway, and begin heading right. Soon you should reach the boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOSS This boss is very easy. It’s some kind of big, fly, or bee. Just keep jumping up and attacking it. I’m serious that’s all you do, and soon it should be down. Head right, and into the orb. Level Complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ############################################################################## THE ALIEN DEPTHS ############################################################################## Begin walking right. Drop down when you can, Then head left. Go down again, right and down once more. Walk left and jump over the next drop and continue. Go down and head right, into a weird looking room. Eventually you will drop down again. Climb up the wall to the left and latch onto the ceiling. Make your way across the toxic water. Avoid the bubbles. When your finally across, drop down again, however latch onto the wall soon after you drop. There is a pool of toxic water at the bottom. When you climb to the bottom jump to the right, and onto land. Climb up the wall on the right, and when you reach the top start heading right. Soon you will reach a small ledge. Walk right, and drop down a little bit. On the next drop another pool of toxic water is there so latch onto a wall again. Jump left onto the small patch of ledge, then jump to the left wall and climb up. Latch onto the ceiling and make your way across the toxic pool. Drop down and head right. Soon you will reach another drop. Drop all the way down to face the next boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOSS Another easy boss. Just keep heading right, try to keep attacking in case any projectiles come your way and soon you will see a dinosaur looking thing. Just keep attacking it and it will soon fall. Walk right, and into the orb. Level Complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ############################################################################## THE MASTERS PRISON SHIP ############################################################################## Walk right and drop down. You should see someone familiar. It’s the boss from the first level. Go ahead and take care of him. He’s still just as easy as before. Walk right and climb up and wall when he’s gone. Begin heading right. Head down the first elevator you see. Begin walking right. Soon you should see an elevator with stars on it. Go down it and begin heading right. When you see the next elevator, drop down once more and head left. You should soon see our lovable pal, from The Alien Depths, Dinosaur! Greet him with plenty of slashes. Same strategy as before people. He’ll go down in no time. Walk all the way left to the very last elevator that has squiggly lines on it and go down. Look at all the goodies! Grab them then head back to the last elevator you saw with moons on it and go down it. Head right through all the enemies until you reach the next elevator and head down it. Begin heading left until you see yet another elevator. Go all the way down it, and start heading right. When you reach the next elevator shaft, go up it and get off the first floor it takes you to, and start heading left(I believe on the top floor that elevator takes you there is an extra life, which might interest you). When you reach the next elevator go up it and start heading right. You should see one of the mini-bosses from the first level. Take care of it and continue right. Drop down the next hole. You should see a big circular enemy, that will have you circling it in orbit. Just keep attacking it. Your attacks should soon defeat it and if you keep attacking you shouldn’t have to worry about anything it fires at you. When you’ve taken care of it drop down the hole and head left. Dodge any missles that come your way. You should see another mini-boss from the first level. Take care of it same way as you did your first time. Walk left, and down the elevator. When you get to the bottom, head left and avoid the beams. When your past them, you should see another elevator. Head down it, and then begin walking right. You should soon reach the boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOSS This is basically a stronger version of the second boss. This time however the glowing orbs don’t really hurt him. Get close to him(If you don’t have any orbs at all for this, this can be hard), and begin attacking him. To attack time your attacks in the middle of when you jump, and when you drop down from the ceiling. Also time your jumps so the beams don’t hit you. Eventually he will die. Then climb up the left wall and into the opening. Jump up and follow the passage right. You should see some.. Girl trapped in some bubble thing. Attack the platform she’s floating on and eventually the shield holding her in will go down. Then she’ll give a shout of glee and your done. Level Complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congrats on beating the game. Not so sure on what kind of an ending that was but hey, it’s an ending.
