From the map, go north and press A, here you will have your first match, note that "friend" is the robot that you will have to protect, if you or your friend dies, then you will automatically lose the fight. Stage: Botties Pit Friend: Mr. Fixit Enemy: Kolossal - Easy mode Kolossal - Normal mode Kolossal - Hard mode Kannon If you are playing on easy or normal mode, this match would be rather quick, but if you are playing on hard mode, this could be pretty difficult because the stage is very small, one strategy you could use here is standing near the tar, your opponent might slip giving you one or two free blows. Also, take note of the red barrels as they can do decent damage when thrown at the enemy. After the fight, head east on the map towards the temple. Stage: Dojo Friend: Sewwix Enemy: Kannon - Easy mode Kannon - Normal mode Katastrophe Kannon - Hard mode Katastrophe The only thing you can take advantage of here is the number of throwables, you can use the two posts near the door of the dojo aswell. On the map, head east north then east to reach the charge station. Stage: Charge Station Friend: Lectrix Enemy: Katastrophe - Easy mode Katastrophe - Normal mode Kolossal Katastrophe - Hard mode Kolossal There are two explosive barrels here, use them before the enemy uses it against you or your friend, the fireball can do decent damage but it is very hard to take advantage of so your better off not trying. This map is pretty small so explore it first and collect all the power ups you might need before engaging the enemy specially if your on hard mode. Go north and east to reach the carnival. Stage: Theme Park Friend: Hop2ix Enemy: Kannon - Easy mode Kannon - Normal mode Katastrophe Kannon - Hard mode Katastrophe One thing to take note of here is the size of the stage, be wary of your friend's energy before you set out collecting power ups. there is a first-aid kit near the pool and one at the tower, to reach the latter you will need a jump power up, you can walk on the rails of the roller coaster and jump on the tent or if you have a jump power up, you can take a short cut near the bush to quickly reach the tower. The only obstacle here is the roller coaster cart, if your lucky, your opponent might get bumped by it or even better, get cornered and crushed until he gets destroyed. Go west, north, west to reah the next destination. Stage: Downtown Friend: Disposix Enemy: Kannon - Easy mode Kannon - Normal mode Kolossal Kannon - Hard mode Kolossal You can use the single lane road or the disconnected electrical wires to your advantage if you manage to lure your enemies here. Walk east, south, and west to reach the last stage in this area. Stage: Donut Shop Friend: Waitrix Enemy: Kolossal - Easy mode Kolossal - Normal mode Kannon Kolossal - Hard mode Kannon Theres a high way here and your friend would most likely go near the traffic light so use the passing cars to crash your opponents, theres also a power up here so make sure you get it. Head west and north to get to the construction site. Stage: Constr.Site Friend: Weldnfix Enemy: Katastrophe - Easy mode Kolossal Katastorphe - Normal mode Kolossal Katastrophe - Hard mode Kolossal If your playing easy mode, this is your first time fighting two enemies at once, use the elevator to get to the top, there is a first aid kit, a power up, and some ammunitions and use it against them, there is also a power-up near the elevator or a first-aid kit if youtr playing normal mode. Go north and prepare yourself to fight Dr K. himself. Stage: Dr.k's Lair Friend: None Enemy: Kolossal - Easy mode Dr. K. Kolossal - Normal mode Katastrophe Dr. K. Kolossal - Hard mode Katastrophe Kannon Dr. K. This fight can be very hard if you dont have a strategy specially if your playing on hard mode, the best and easiest way to beat this stage is by using the environment to work for you. Next to the pile of crushed cars is a structure made of steel, there are two barrels of acid on it's sides, what you want to do is keep jumping ontop of the structure and then to the ground, your enemies will eventually get stuck in the corners of the barrells and ends up melting them. You might also stand next to the top of the barrels for better results. Dr.K. can be a real pain in the ass, if your not using the above strategy, he would keep throwing bombs while you are fighting the other robots, it's best to destroy the other robots before fighting dr. k because he can be hard to hit, once all the other robots are defeated, go to the southeast of the map to pick up some barrels and throw them at his face, these projectiles can do the most damage on him, you can also stock up on laser and rocket ammunition and take your time hitting him. Congratulations! you have beaten the game! If you are playing on normal mode, Hard mode will now be unlocked for you, you can also play the story mode again to collect all of the pictures and unlock all of the robots, this game has great replayability and you will not easily get bored even if you replay the game over and over, you can also try the vs mode and skirmish your own battles. ======================================================================= Robots [CUB5] ======================================================================= You can acquire new robots by exchanging them for pictures. These pictures can be acquired from battling robots in story mode. In this section, i will show each robot's Attributes and their special abilities. Each attribute is graded as follows: Low Below Average Average Above Average High Very High Max CUBIX Attack : Above Average Speed: High Defense: Average Jump: Abve Average Throw: Average This guy is pretty much balanced and is a good choice for beginners. Special ability: Cubix jumps and launches four homing energy particles. His ability is pretty much weak and is only as strong as two missiles, it can also miss a lot when it hits the walls. I recommend using this skill, only when you and your enemy is on a large open area. MAXIMIX Attack: Average Speed: Very High Defense: Average Jump: Very High Throw: Average He's one of the most dextrous guys out there so if you wanna go fast and furious (or just annoy the heck out of your opponents) this is the guy for you. Special ability: Maximix repeatedly jumps to create an earthquake on the entire field. This is like a weaker version of colossal's ability. QUIXTREME5000 Attack: Above Average Speed: Average Defense: Average Jump: Above Average Throw: Average Well, he's a pretty much average but his special ability is something else. Special ability: Quixtreme unleashes a great burst of speed damaging and knocking back anyone he hits. Now this is one of the better abilities, it can actually kill someone at full health if you manage to corner him. IXGUARD Attack: Very High Speed: Low Defense: Max Jump: Average Throw: Above Average He's the strongest bot in my opinion, with the highest defense and a very good attack, he is perfect for direct mauling. Special Ability: Ixguard launches a barrage of homing missiles. This is a stronger version of kannon's ability, it can take out upto 1/2 of the enemy's life, the only down side is that it requires a large area to execute properly. SECURIX Attack: Above average Speed: Low Defense: Above Average Jump: Above average Throw: Above average Nothing noteworthy about this guy. Special Ability: Securix creates a barrier made out of multiple boomerangs. This is a pretty decent ability even though it can only dish out minor damage, this is because of its capability to sometimes block incoming missiles. KANNON Attack: Very High Speed: Average Defense: High Jump: Above Average Throw: Above Average Just like a lesser version of Ixguard (im running out of descriptions) Special Ability: Kannon launches 4 slow moving homing missiles. This ability, like him, is like a lesser version of ixguard's, the only difference is that it can be used on a smaller area and that the projectiles are slower. Although easy to evade, this can actually be used in conjunction with regular attacks due to its slow speed. KATASTROPHE Attack: Very High Speed: Average Defense: High Jump: Above Average Throw: Very High With very good offensive stats, he is a favorite of most players. Special Ability: Katastrophe gains speed and spins around creating a vaccuum that pulls his enemies towards him, those that get close enough are damaged and knocked back. Now this is easily the most powerful ability there is, aside from its vaccuum, speed, good damage, and knock back capabilities, it also has a very good duration. It can kill all of your enemies if you manage to get them cornered. KOLOSSAL Attack: Max Speed: Average Defense: Very High Jump: Above Average Throw: Very High Is it just me or does the story writers have something agains the letter c? anyway, this guy is the badass of the badasses, he has the best offensive strength and a very high defense to back it up. Special Ability: Kolossal hammers the ground creating a powerful earthquake. A very powerful ability and a lot of fun when used on vs mode with 3 enemies. ======================================================================== Copyright [CUB6] ======================================================================== This file is Copyright (c)2008 xiaoxiaoIO if you want to post this faq on your site then please mail me at endore2003@yahoo.com, you will almost always be allowed to do so.
