===================================DISCLAIMER================================== I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com), IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on. Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of hassle in my mailbox. So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks. Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear anywhere at the following URLs: http://www.cheatcc.com http://www.cheatindex.com This document Copyright 2004,2017 Daniel Engel =============================================================================== Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six FAQ November 30, 2017 Daniel (DEngel) Engel dan.engel.2017 [AT] gmail [DOT] com ############################################################################### (A) TABLE OF CONTENTS ############################################################################### Table of Contents (A) This Table of Contents (B) Story (C) Controls (D) Items (E) Walkthrough - (E-01) Stage 01: Electro Takes Charge Of The Situation... - (E-02) Stage 02: Sandman Appears With A Fist Of Fury... - (E-03) Stage 03: Spider-Man Hunts For Mysterio...The Master Of Illusion - (E-04) Stage 04: Vulture Swoops For Spider-Man - (E-05) Stage 05: Once He Was Human...Now He's Hobgoblin - (E-06) Stage 06: Masterminding The Mayhem...Dr. Octopus Is Back With A Vengeance (F) Thanks (G) Experimental ############################################################################### (B) STORY ############################################################################### (Taken from the game's intro) "Doctor Octopus is plotting the crowning caper of his criminal career... To Rule the world. He has reunited the Sinister Six and with these super-villains together again, nothing stands in their way --Except Spider-Man!" ############################################################################### (C) CONTROLS ############################################################################### The controls for this game are very simple, and are as follows: A - Jump. B - Attack or use webbing if you have some. Start - Pauses the game. Select - Not used. Down - Used to duck or pick up items. Up - Climb walls. B(x2) - Jumping kick. ############################################################################### (D) ITEMS ############################################################################### Webbing - Gives you 10 shots. ############################################################################### (E) WALKTHROUGH ############################################################################### Bricklayer J. Gastronomy You must travel through each stage surviving enemies and traps to reach the stage boss and successfully beat them in battle. You only have one life and one continue to do this in, and to make matters worse your energy DOES NOT get restored between stages. However you do get energy back by killing enemies, so if you're low on energy be sure to kill some enemies for some health. ############################################################################### STAGE 01: ELECTRO TAKES CHARGE OF THE SITUATION... ############################################################################### Once the stage starts you can kill the enemy or jump over it, as Spidey can jump pretty high. Continue right and jump the pair of green boxes, then jump a larger stack of boxes. Jump another enemy and quickly jump onto the fence beyond. Drop to your right and pick up the webbing, then jump over some boxes followed by another enemy and up onto a fence. Head right and jump a box and a pair of enemies before jumping onto a fence. Drop right and carefully jump onto the next fence while avoiding the missiles. Jump straight up and shoot the guard on your left without getting shot yourself, then jump to his fence. Jump to the box on your right, then jump the guard and head right to the next fence. Avoid the lightning as you jump up onto the fence, then look at the ground on your right. You should see two blinking mines, it should go without saying that you DON'T want to land on these. Jump the mines and land on the box, then avoid the lightning as you jump more mines to land on another box. Avoid more lightning then head right a little and dodge another dose. Jump over the hidden mine at the telephone pole, then jump some more mines just beyond it. Dodge the lightning and land on a box, then jump to the fence. Head right and jump over the missiles and the first mine in the same jump. Jump and kill the pair of enemies when it is safe to do so, then jump over their boxes. Head right and carefully jump three mines, continue right a little and shoot the guard. Jump the mine and jump/shoot the guard, then jump the box and head right to the next area. Drop down the series of ledges and avoid the shooting guard until you land on some boxes. Head right and jump up the platforms while avoiding the guard and broken electrical socket. Go right and jump onto the boxes, then shoot the guard above you. Carefully work your way past the turret above you, then head right and avoid a pair of electrical outlets. Drop down the platforms and quickly jump up out of the way of the turret before it shoots you. Shoot the guard above you and grab more webbing, then drop down and head left until you reach a door. Attack the door to get past it, then head left and jump on the boxes. Drop all the way down and jump left over the electrical outlet, then kill the guard and head left. Drop down and avoid the turret and guards as you head right, then jump the electrical outlet. Kill the guard and use the key he was carrying to open the door and enter the next area. ============= BOSS: Electro ============= Drop down and head right, you will see Electro charging himself up. You will not be able to beat him with the machine on so jump over him and jump kick the on/off switch on his right to turn the machine off. Now he will start flying around and throwing lightning at you, I find it easiest to kick him from the top of the machine. Once you get about eight hits on him you win and move on to the next stage. ############################################################################### STAGE 02: SANDMAN APPEARS WITH A FIST OF FURY... ############################################################################### Head right and jump the enemy, then fall down the ladder and drop left. Continue left and jump onto the boxes, then fall down the hole on your left. Go right and jump the boxes, then continue right and climb up the three ladders. Go right and drop down the first hole, then get the dynamite at the bottom. Climb back out of the hole and go right to the rope, then climb it to the top. Jump left and get the detonator nearby, then go back to the rope and fall down it to the bottom. Climb up a little and jump right to the block beside the green one, then jump on the green block and immediately jump right as it breaks away. Work your way down the blocks and go right to the room full of chains. Climb the chains and work your way to the upper right, then jump up to the guard and shoot him. Continue going up until you see the red box, walk up to it to set the dynamite. Go down a little to set and use the detonator, then go through the open passage to fight the boss. ============= BOSS: Sandman ============= As you move around the room Sandman will rise at your location every so often. If you stay close to him he will try to punch you, if you are not close he will shoot sand at you. He may also just sink back into the ground, he is a pretty tough boss. I found the best way to beat him was to get in close and punch him as this seems to do a lot of damage. Then you can finish him off with kicks or webbing. ############################################################################### STAGE 03: SPIDER-MAN HUNTS FOR MYSTERIO...THE MASTER OF ILLUSION ############################################################################### Run right from the start and don't stop until you hit a wall, now go left and jump unto the platform above you. Continue right and when you can't go right any more jump the enemy and enter the door above you to reach the next area. Climb the ladder and jump to the top of the screen, then work your way carefully left to a ladder. Climb it and continue left, avoid the missiles as you grab the IR-goggles. Carefully work your way back right and jump up to the door and enter it to reach the next area. This is the area that you need the IR-goggles for, otherwise you wouldn't see a thing. Head left until you see some clawed enemies below you, these guys are very deadly and can kill you quickly so jump over them. Continue left and avoid the enemies then enter the door when you reach it to enter the next area. Jump up the platforms and head right, fall down the ladder and duck to avoid the enemy's shots. Kill him and continue right while avoiding the bombs, then wait below the computer above you, just to the left of the enemy. Jump and hold up, then you should bounce up on top of the computer. Kill the enemy and watch the deadly enemy below, then when he starts to walk right drop down and jump over him. Jump up to the guard and kill him, then continue right. Jump up and head right, then jump up before the deadly enemy gets you. Continue right and hide on the platform in the upper right corner. The next part is quite hard, you need to drop down and jump kick over the lower enemy then run through the door to the boss. ============== BOSS: Mysterio ============== Mysterio teleports to different locations and throws particles at you. If you are close to him though he will punch or kick you, so try to keep your distance. Just run until you see where he is, face him and duck. Now his shots will pass over you, and you can punch him. Repeat until he dies, then you will see that he was just an illusion and a door will open to the next battle. After three of these battles you will fight the real Mysterio, and once you beat him the stage ends. ############################################################################### STAGE 04: VULTURE SWOOPS FOR SPIDER-MAN ############################################################################### This stage is simple in design but tough in execution. Basically The Vulture will swoop in from the right and drop bombs on you every so often. So you must dodge them or jump over him. There are also cannons in the ground every so often that pop up and fire at you so jump over them. Finally there are a couple of guards that you can easily jump over. If you can make it all the way to the end of the stage then you will fight The Vulture on the rooftops. ================= BOSS: The Vulture ================= Jump across the rooftops as you head right and avoid The Vulture's attacks, once you reach the right end of the stage you can pick up some webbing. I found the best spot to attack The Vulture was on top of the small red roof on the right end of the area. Just use your webbing or jump kicks and he should go down quite easily. ############################################################################### STAGE 05: ONCE HE WAS HUMAN...NOW HE'S HOBGOBLIN ############################################################################### This stage can be quite hard if you're low on health but it is possible. Basically work your way right to get through the first area, you should jump over the large enemy that shows up on the ground often and avoid his projectiles. Try to jump on some flat tree stumps and branches and you may not see Hobgoblin as often in the stage. He fires lasers downward at you when he sees you, but you can jump over him quite easily. Once you reach the right end of this area you will enter the boss battle with Hobgoblin in a cave. =============== BOSS: Hobgoblin =============== Drop to the bottom floor, then kick Hobgoblin and quickly pick up the webbing. Now he should either fly at you or lurk below you, when he lurks just wait. When he flies at you fire web at him and he will lurk. Sometimes he will fly below you, now you should be ready to avoid his bombs. Repeat this basic pattern and he should die easily, if you run out of webbing you can get more to your right or just use kicks. ############################################################################### STAGE 06: MASTERMINDING THE MAYHEM...DR. OCTOPUS IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE ############################################################################### Jump the enemy and run right to the fence, jump on it and kill the enemy there. Now jump the three mines and carefully jump onto the branch, then quickly jump the missiles. Jump the rats ahead and the guard beyond, then jump the fence and run past the falling bombs. Jump the deadly enemy and jump onto the next fence, then drop down and destroy the cannon. Jump the deadly enemy and destroy the next cannon before jumping on the fence, then drop down and destroy the cannon. Head right and jump the enemy, then jump the fence and avoid the bats. Continue right and avoid a pair of enemies and more bats before jumping on another fence, then jump some missiles and head right to fight Dr. Octopus. ================= BOSS: Dr. Octopus ================= Get in real close to him and punch him while ducking until he dies, it's cheap but it works really well. The doc fires projectiles otherwise or uses his arms to go between floors if you let him. Once beaten you will be in a small cage for a few seconds, after which you can go right to fight another Dr. Octopus. Use the exact same tactics as you used on the first one and he should go down just as easily. Once again you will be in a cage briefly before being allowed to go right and fight another Dr. Octopus. Use the exact same tactics that you've used so far and this battle will be over in no time, then you have beaten the game. "VICTORY! Spider-Man triumphs over the Sinister Six..." ############################################################################### (F) THANKS ############################################################################### Big thanks go out to Mariner, thank you for all your help. ############################################################################### (G) EXPERIMENTAL ############################################################################### For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had the same idea. I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to send money, so it's here for those people. For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some excellent progress on a few FAQs. If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement. My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both dan.engel.2017 (AT) gmail (DOT) com Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work! ~Dan
