Daredevil is another superhero game, which probably never would've seen daylight if not for the FOX movie Daredevil, starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Even though the movie didn't perform very well at the box-office, it was apperently good enough to warrant a GBA game. Be warned this FAQ will contain spoilers, so if you don't want those, don't look at this FAQ Daredevil is a pretty basic, side-scrolling action game. It contains a lot of thugs to beat senseless, and has the occassional bossfight. The graphics are pretty good, and the music is fun to listen to. A special feature of the game is the radar DD has, and you can use it to see hidden items and thugs. You can also unlock a lot of bonus material by completing some goals, which is a nice addition to the game, even if they're sometimes not much to look at. The Daredevil movie (and ergo the game) is based on the popular comic by the same name, published by Marvel. Matt Murdock saved an old man from an accident in his younger years, but awoke in an hospital himself. Blinded. The radio- active waste he got struck with across the face during the accident somehow improved his remaining sense, more than compensating for his loss of sight. He donned a costume (which was actually yellow in his first appearance) and named himself Daredevil, after his childhood nickname (given to him to bully him; actually meaning he was a coward because he'd rather learn than fight). He went through college, where he met his life-long friend Foggy Nelson, and became a succesfull lawyer later. Unknown to his partner Foggy, Matt often dons the famous costume at night, and sets out to right wrongs as the vigilante Daredevil. He's made a lot of enemies (like the Kingpin, Bullseye, the Owl, Gladiator and Mr Fear), but also made some good friends (like Spider- man, Foggy, Black Widow and Karen Page). The comic still remains popular these days. _______________________ | | | CONTENT |=============================0002 |_______________________| In here you can find the different areas of the walkthrough.

I only need to finish the main walkthrough and the enemy list, and probably update some other sections. _______________________ | | | CONTROLS |=============================0004 |_______________________| The controls for this game are pretty easy to learn, but it's important to use the right move at the right moment. I've divided this section into two sub- sections, one for basic controls and one for advanced moves. ============================= Basic Controls =============================0005 Directional Pad(+): this moves Daredevil around. Pressing down will make him duck, pressing left will make him run to the left and pressing right will make him run to the right. Pressing up is useless. You also use this button to select different options in the Main Menu. A Button: This is used for jumping. Pressing A again while jumping makes you doublejump, which is very useful for reaching difficult areas. Press A at the highest point of your jump to get the most height out of your jump. B Button: This is your attack button. Pressing it will unleash an attack, which one depends on what other button you press (look at advanced moves for more info). L Button: This button activates your radar mode. While in radar mode, enemies and items will have bright colors, while the background is just grayish. Use this mode to see hidden items. You cannot stay in radar mode indefinetely; you have a limited time to spend in there. Look at the white bar at the top left corner of the screen to see how much time you have left (it refills while in "normal" mode). R Button: This will make you hit with your Billyclub. It doesn't have a far reach, and it takes some time between hits. Using your fists is faster, but you can upgrade this attack with the Billyclub item, which is scattered around the levels (look at advanced moves for more info). Start Button: This pauses the game. In the pause screen, you can see how many DD-icons you have collected in that level, as well as look at the current password. You can also quit the game here and return to the Main Menu. Select Button: This button has no use. ============================= Advanced Moves =============================0006 Daredevil has a nice set of moves. He can use kicks, punches and throw his club at enemies. Look here to see how to do each one. Punch: press the B button. Left-right punch: press the B button twice. Left-right-uppercut combo: press the B button three times. This combo is very useful. It's pretty powerful, as you can do it again immediately after the enemy gets up from the previous combo. Jumpkick: jump up and press B. You cannot double jump anymore after kicking. This is useful for attacking enemies who are right above you. Flying Kick: jump while running, then press B. This is a very good technique to enter a fight. When hit, the enemy will fall, giving you time to either take on another enemy or place yourself in a good position to attack again. Groundkick: duck by pressing down, then press B to kick. This move makes enemies fall down, which is handy. The Hurricane: okay, I came up with this name myself ;). Run for a moment, then press B to fly spinning towards your enemy with both legs straight. This is a very powerful attack, as it drops the enemy and usually takes away half his energy. Don't run for too long, because if you do and press B then, you will simply punch. Billyclub Throw: first, get the Billyclub item in the level. There usually are multiple of these in one level. Once you've got one, press the R button to throw your club at enemies. If they hit an enemy, they will be stunned for a moment. It's very useful for taking out enemies who throw stuff (like grenades or shuriken) at you. _______________________ | | | ITEMS |=============================0007 |_______________________| DD-token (a red DD). Every level has a few of these tokens. Collect them all for some secrets to unlock. You can press Start while playing to see how many you have for that level, and see how many you still need. Billyclub (a red stick). Take these for temporary power-ups. Your stick (used with the R button) will improve for a short time. Health (a white box with a green cross). Sometimes enemies will drop these boxes. Take them to get some lost health back. If your health if full, you can't pick them up. DD mask (a red mask which looks like the face of Daredevil). Picking up this (often well-hidden) item grants you an extra life. Pidgeon (a red pidgeon with a blue block behind it). Gives you a golden glow and temporarely gives all of your attacks more power. It's now easier to defeat enemies. Crate (a big, white box) You cannot pick up this item, but you can break it by hitting it four times. Sometimes there's some health or a DD-icon in there, but I also found some enemies in there. DD shield (a small, golden shield which has the initials DD on it) Picking up this item temporarely transforms you into a blue, but invincible, Daredevil. You cannot be harmed by enemies, but if you fall of a building or something you'll still die, obviously. Arrow (a small, red arrow) If you see this item, you know you're almost there. Walk over it (or near it) to exit the stage you're in. _______________________ | | | ENEMIES |=============================0008 |_______________________| Coming Soon _______________________ | | | CHARACTERS |=============================0009 |_______________________| This is a list of the characters appearing in the game. I've listed them in the order they appear in, and added some information about the, I basically used my own comic knowledge to create this list, so it's very well possible I've added something that isn't said in the game. Ah wee, all the more information, right? Daredevil This is you, controlling the hero of the game. Read the piece I wrote about him in the introduction of the FAQ for some more info. Stick This is DD's teacher. He taught Matt how to deal with his enhanced senses, as well as some cool techniques. He's like a father figure to Matt. Elektra Matt and Elektra had an odd relation. They fell in love, but seperated when Matt chose to save someone's life instead of helping her. She even died (killed by Bullseye), but was brought back from the grave and trained by the Hand (a ninja organisation). She's very dangerous, but still has a weak spot for Daredevil. Foggy Matt met Foggy first in college, were they both studied law. Foggy is a bit of a fat guy, but with a heart of gold. They now run a law company together. In this game, he's unaware Matt is Daredevil. Kirigi Kirigi was summoned by the Hand to defeat Daredevil and Elektra. He's an extremely powerfull ninja, and is exceptionally well trained in various martial arts. He can heal himself, and can stand great pains. He has even been resurrected by the Hand once. _______________________ | | | WALKTHROUGH |=============================0010 |_______________________| Stage 1 As the game begins, you will be treated to some stills from the movie. They don't add anything to game, so if you've seen the movie you might as well press Start to skip them. Or watch them, if you prefer. After the pictures, the game will open with a screen of Daredevil and his teacher Stick. Stick tells you the Kingpin has made you a target, which basically means every thug will attack you. He also tells you you should find Elektra; she's in Hell's Kitchen too and has been seen with the Kingpin. After that, a thug tells you Elektra warned them you'd show up, and tells you the bounty will be harder to collect than you think. Then the game finally begins for real. There are two thugs right in front of you, and one of them has a bat. Take them out, then keep walking to the right. You'll come across a crate; smash it for a DD-token. Walk past the two stoners and you'll get attacked again. Defeat the two punks and walk to the right for a new Billyclub. Take it (you can now throw your club to temporary stun your enemies) and walk to the right. See the Daredevil mask? Well, it's an extra life so take it. There are three enemies there, so fight them. Watch out for the big guy, as he packs quite a punch. Use you Billyclub to stun them before taking them out. After they're all gone, take a moment to look at your head. Do you notice the radar icon? Well, press the L Button to see what's so important here. Take the hidden pidgeon and keep going to the right. Look everybody, it's Elektra! She tells you you've sold out, but we accuse her of the exact same thing. Ha, in her face! She then dissappears and leaves us to our business. Go to the right to find the exit of the stage, but make sure to pick up the DD-icon above the arrow first. Stage 2 A punk asks you if you're looking for somebody, so reply with fist in his face. Take out his buddy with the bat too, just to be sure. Walk to the edge of the roof, then jump to the right to get the pidgeon there. Look out, because there's a thug waiting for you. Take him, then take out the lone thug with the bat on the right. Don't fall down between the two buildings here, but jump to the right and stand next to the crate. Double jump to get to the platform above you, then double jump a bit to the right to get your first DD- icon. Go back to the platform and take the DD mask for an extra life. Look out for the gunman there (it's safest to just ignore him). Drop back on the crate, drop down to the left and break the crate (there just might be some health in it). Now take out the goons to the right, but don't go too far to the right; let them come to you. When they're finished you can move to the right, where there's a gunman waiting for you. Take him out and move to the right where there's a ladder. Climb up the ladder (as the arrow below suggested) and take out the gunman and the punk. Now stand on the right edge of the roof and press the L button to go into radarmode. You'll see the DD mask on the right, but there's no way to reach it. Or is there? Jump to the right and you'll notice a big, ugly guy. Kick his butt and stand on the left crate you see. Double jump straight up and you'll hang of some kind of ledge. Now jump up to get the mask. But wait, there's more! Notice the some ledge on your right? Jump towards it and you should hang on it. Keep doing this and you'll be rewarded by two health boxes. When you've reached the last one, you can jump up for a DD-icon! When you're done just drop down and break the crates there (there's a punk with a bat in the most right crate, for some reason). When you're done, don't forget to look behind the most right Gargoyle with your radar and pick up the DD-icon there. Now climb back up the ladder to the big cola billboard (on the roof where the gunman was). Next to this billboard (to the right) is another one of those ledges. Double jump between the two windows to hang from it, then follow the path of ledges to get to another DD-icon. Sweet! Now get back to that rooftop, young man! Walk to the left, but don't jump to the other building. Instead, drop down to the left where the Billyclub is. There are three crates there, so smash them and don't forget to take the club too. Move to the left and jump off the side to get your fourth DD-icon. Look out after you've dropped down, because enemies will have respawned there (a punk, a big punk and a punk with a knife). Make it back to the cola billboard (via the ladder) and defeat the thug with the bat. Defeat the other thug you see and jump to the left building. There's a Billyclub there, so I suggest you take it and use it on the two thugs there. Jump to the right and break the crates -the first crate has a thug in it- (if you want, you can jump to the roof to fight a gunman and get a Billyclub, but it's not necassary). Follow the green arrow and jump to the right, clinging to the ladder there. Climb up and use your radar to find a DD shield, then take out the thugs. Keep going to the right to find Elektra, who talks to you for a moment, and then jumps away. Jump to the right (near the arrow) to complete the level. Stage 3 This stage starts you on top of a car, which is a nice variation. If you jump in the air, you will land on the place you jumped from, so don't worry about falling down much. If you happen to fall on the road, don't worry: it's easy to jump back to a car and it won't do you much damage. Start by jumping to the next car and stand on the crate. Jump to get the Billyclub, don't break the crate unless you won't to fight a thug. You can use the Billyclub to hit the thug on the next car, because it would be safer to jump there if the thug with the knife is stunned. If you don't have the Billyclub, just jump towards him and kcik him in the air. Either way, get over there and take him out. Walk to the right and stand on the hood of the gray car you're on (that way you won't get hurt by the grenades thrown by the thug on the next truck). Wait until the thug has thrown a grenade, then quickly jump up there with your boot forward. Take him out and walk to the right. There's a pretty easy thug there, so take him out and move to the hood of the truck. Jump to the next car (break the crate if you wish), then jump to the next one. Break the crate, take the Billyclub and use the same technique for the guy with the grenades as before. After taking out the grenade guy, take out the punk with the bat to the right. As you probably already had noticed, your radar sense is bleeping. Press L to go into radar mode, then jump to get the DD-icon. After that, walk to the hood of the truck and jump on the gray car to the right. Jump to the next car and beat the punk with the knife there. Jump to the next car, break the crate and take the Billyclub. To the right is a big truck, so jump on it. There are three punks there, so take them out. After that, look at your head. Oops, the radar sense is tingling! Press L and jump to the left for a DD-mask and jump straight up for a DD-icon! After that, jump to the next car. Break the crate, then jump to the next car, where you should jump for a DD-icon and jump again for a Billyclub. Use that Billyclub to stun the grenade-tossing guy, then jump up the truck and stun the big guy too. Take them both out and walk to the right to complete the stage. Stage 4 Hey, it's Elektra! Looks like she wants a fight... There are no DD-icons in this level, only a blackhaired ninja who wants to kick out butt. She's very fast, and blocks a lot of attacks. The trick is to let her come close, perhaps even take a few hits, then quickly start hitting her. After a few hits, you'll break through her blocks and start connecting. She'll only take a few hits, then she's gone again. Just keep doing the same routine, and you should be able to beat her. There's some health in the right corner and the high left corner (above the left crate). There's also a Pidgeon in the top right corner (above another crate). Once you've hit her enough, the screen will turn blue and Elektra will snap out of her hypnosis. She will explain a bit more of Kingpin's plans, about how the Kingpin will say he paid Daredevil for defeating thugs and then she leaves again. Stage 5 We're in our civvies now, and acting as district attorney Matthew Murdock. The radio in your office tells you about Wilson Fisk, and Foggy talks a bit about it. You don't believe the Kingpin paid Daredevil, because he didn't pay you. Then there's a newsflash about someone on the docks wanting to meet you. You think it just might be Kirigi and the Hand organization. Kirigi meets you there, and if you are telling the truth, you should take them down. Right... We're back in our red, horned costume and it's time to defeat some ninjas! Look out for those ninjas, because some of them can throw shuriken at you. Jump over them or duck to avoid them. First, take out the ninja at the right, then press L to go into radar mode. Take the Billyclub in the air and defeat the big guy and the ninja (look out for his sais!). Keep walking and break the crate for your first DD-icon. In the next crate is a ninja with two katanas, so it's probably best not to break it. Keep walking and defeat the thug with a knife. To the right is another ninja with sais, defeat him and take the DD- icon you see in the air. Keep standing on the crate, then duck and kick to easily defeat the thug there. Jump and get the Billyclub, then defeat the ninja. To the right is a punk with a gun, so look out. After his defeat, go into radar mode and get the DD-icon at the top of the small building. Go right and defeat the big guy. To the right is another big guy, a thug with a knife and a thug with a bat. Use a hit'n run technique (use the Hurricane, then run back and do it again) to defeat them, then go into radar mode to get the last two DD-icons (to get the last one, double jump from the second crate). Defeat the ninja with the chain (look out for it, as it has quite a reach), then keep walking and defeat the thug with the knife and another ninja. Then go into the boat (as indicated by the red arrow). Stage 6 You're greeted by Kirigi, who tells you you might have some honor left. Apperently he hasn't, because as soon as he's done he runs away, leaving you with a boat filled with ninjas. If you look to the right, you can see a ninja hiding behind a pipe. Don't let him fool you, but kill him. Take the DD-icon above you, then kill the next ninja (look out for his shuriken). Take the Billyclub and jump on the crate. Duck and kick to defeat the thug there easily, then just keep moving. Use your radarsense to see the Billyclub, then take out the ninja with the chain. Defeat the next ninja (with the sais) and jump on the crate you see to the right. Use your radar mode, then double jump to get the DD-icon. Break the crate you used for another DD-icon. Jump to the right for a DD-mask. Defeat the punk and the shuriken throwing ninja, then double jump near the most right pillar to get another DD-icon. Defeat the next ninja and jump for the healt if you need it. Take the Billyclub and defeat the ninja. Press L to go into radar mode and take the DD-icon in the air. Stay in radar mode, because there's another DD-icon a bit to the right. Defeat the three ninjas, then jump near the first pillar to get another DD-icon. Keep walking to the right to find the arrow, which also happens to be your exit. Stage 7 Hey, it's Kirigi again! He accuses you again, and runs away. What a pansy! _______________________ | | | PASSWORDS |=============================0011 |_______________________| For some reason my keyboard doesn't have the Daredevil mask on it, but I made up for it by using a # instead.
