No Energy Capsule cost | |'Lightning Crash'= Same as 'hurricane upper' except you have to do it twice| | before pressing Square or Circle. No Energy Capsule | | cost | |'Invincible Guard'= Hold Square or Circle when an enemy attacks you with | | beams or physical attacks. Great for Special Foes! If| | you have Energy Capsules, it depletes slowly and the | | graphics is different. If you have none, then you just| | block but the effect is the same. | | | |===========================================================================| | | |Legend | |====== | |** - Author's Exclusive Hints and Tips | | | |Scenario 1 | |========== | | | |Semi-Boss 'Crab' Mecha | | **Standard attack. Stay close and use the grab, choose whether to | | throw him to enemies or use the piledriver on it. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **Be careful of his chest beam and try to land the first damage. | |When it jumps make sure you have a minion as a handy weapon plus use the | |dendoh piledriver as often as you want. After defeating this easy boss, | |you are introduced to your assister, the 'Jet Revitalizer'. In short its | |a jet that powers your life bar back up as well as your energy capsules. | |This is in preparation for the one on one duel that is coming up. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | **The only advice I can give you is not to lose. This is the most easy| |part for me, rather than the 2D side-scroll. If you've been playing games | |(console or arcades) then this should be cakewalk for you. Hit and Run is | |the most useful technique here and also don't forget to jump a lot and time| |your file load. | | | |First File Save Obtained: | |Unicorn Drill | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 2 | |========== | | | |Semi-Boss 'Cube' Mecha | | **Use minions to whip robot butt and the occasional grab and throw move| |at the other enemies. The usual dash, punch, jump and kick also works. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **Watch out for the tentacle-like arms plus if you beat it down and | |attempt to use the grab+piledriver, it won't work as it has a counter- | |offensive. A bluish ray acts as a shield and weapon if you get near it. | |Here's what you should do, attack while it is using its tentacles and don't| |forget to jump always, the aerial throw gives you the extra edge to finish | |this loser. | | -The jet revitalizer arrives, it boosts and powers you up for the one | |on one duel. | | -Your file load option appears now, different files means different | |attack moves and style. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Same as before, repeat thoroughly when needed. | | | |Second File Save Obtained: | |Leo Chakram | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 3 | |========== | | | |You must now choose: Viper or Bull path | | | |Semi-Boss 'Bird' Mecha (blue & red) | | **Be careful of its ball lasers that seek you out once fired by this | |scum. It ruins your cool piledriver move plus if your swarmed, this | |doesn't make your life bar any longer. The difference from blue or red is | |that the red one takes longer to kill and dodges more. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **By its size and arrogance, you can deduce that its a stand tall and | |grab and squeeze enemy. Strength is its main weapon aside from the | |occasional boulders that drops on the field due to its earth-shaking jumps,| |it also uses these boulders as a throwing weapon on you. Use the truck as | |a tool nearby to chop some of its life bar then stand back because its grab| |is a killer. Hit and Run moves is great for this robo-twerp. | | -Jet revitalizer arrives to restore some of your life bar and energy | |capsules. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Same as before with the exception of your new file, Leo Chakram's | |move is unleashed. | | | |Third File Save Obtained: | |Viper Whip | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 4 | |========== | | | |Choose from 3 paths | | | |Semi-Boss 'Red, Ordinary & Blue Sentry' Mecha | | -The button moves have been changed to 'rushing kick dash' plus Dendoh| |now flies over the sea. Fairly easy as long as you watch your life bar | |carefully. | | | |Semi-Boss 'Dragon Head' Mecha | | **Attack its head with tools around you or use your moves or special | |moves to finish this loser. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **The enemy's design looks familiar but don't get too cocky because | |this is your first real challenge. The attack you have now does not favor | |you, timing is everything. Use your file saves if you have to. I have a | |different approach to this one, I use my 'fake move'. Lure it with the | |Right+Up button then if it reverses its flight, use the Right+Down. Your | |'rushing kick dash' will look as if your seeking out the target as it tries| |to evade your attack. | | -Jet revitalizer powers you up...again. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Same as before, he has new moves and evades a lot from here on in. | | | |Fourth File Save Obtained: | |Dragon Flare | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 5 | |========== | | | |Choose another path | | | |Semi-Boss 'Spike Arm' Mecha | | **Be wary of tandem or swarm attacks of this one or it will end your | |life quickly. Use tools in the environment to your advantage. Employ your| |Hit and Run tactics and using the enemy as a bashing tool works just as | |well. Watch your life bar. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **The trick I used for this one is to keep at it and attack | |continously. Use the aerial throw as often as you like especially if it is | |using its funnel move, attack below it or use your aerial grab then set up | |for a throw or a piledriver. You can use its funnel against it as well. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Same as before. | | | |Fifth File Save Obtained: | |Bull Horn | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 6 | |========== | | | |Semi-Boss 'Grub' Mecha | | **The usual grab and toss or piledriver also applies to this foe. Very| |easy as long as you avoid a mob or swarm. | | | |Semi-Boss 'Ground Grabber' Mecha | | **Use the Grubs as weapons and wait for the tentacles to appear, do not| |attempt to attack the glowing mine-like item. Its a trap in order to lure | |and grab, squeeze and draw your life bar away. Its vulnerable only when | |the tentacles appear. | | | |Semi-Boss 'Crane' Mecha | | **This deformed looking crane has a long range grab when you jump over | |it, very dangerous especially if your overrun or swarmed by Grubs, Orbs and| |another of its kind. Grab+piledriver works, don't forget to use the | |equipment around you, as well as other foes as your weapon. | | | |Semi-Boss 'Orb' Mecha | | **These things explode if punched, use your grab then throw or if many | |are accumulating in one place, punch one and watch all of them explode | |simultaneously. Looks great if another different enemy is passing by as | |you detonate all of them, because the enemy mechs' are affected by their | |explosive blast. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **Beware of the metal spikes that surrounds this enemy. It uses it as | |a shield/attack or combines it with its 'flame ring' move. Aerial throw or| |the Dendoh Piledriver is a must and you must also use the File Saves on | |this one. Hit and Run is essential, monitoring your life bar is an | |advantage. | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Same as before...as usual. | | | |Sixth File Save Obtained: | |Gatling Boar | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 7 | |========== | | | |Heading for space | | | |Semi-Boss 'Red Sentry, Ordinary Sentry, Blue Sentry, Meteor Cannon' | | **The others you can use 'rushing kick dash' but as for the meteor | |cannon, you must wait until the core is exposed before you can kill it. | |Kill it before it shoots its laser. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger | | **A Dragon-like mech, be careful of its 'Breath Disc Attack' or its | |'Dragon Bite Hug'. Use the fake move like I taught you before and you would| |do just fine. | | -There's also a scene between Leo Chakram and Unicorn Drill... | | | |Seventh File Save Obtained: | |Kiba (Leo Chakram and Unicorn Drill Combined) | | | |Fight with Ogre | | -Getting tired? Don't be, the fun is just beginning plus you get to | |see the pilots' face. | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Scenario 8 | |========== | | | |Whoa! Ogre and Dendoh Unleashed!!! | | | |Semi-Boss 'Quartz' Mecha | | **Your in for it, these guys are a pain. No other advice but to ram | | through them until you reach the top. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger 1 | | **Careful of its purple fireballs that comes from below because it | |covers the whole screen.One flaw though, the visible space between them | |serves as a safe point for you. If you didn't use the bashing weapon that | |looks like a torpedo before you got here, then 1/4 of its life is a sure | |goner. Use the Grab+Piledriver and the Hit and Run move to ensure a fast | |victory. Use your File Save if you have to. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger 2 | | **Lay low and just use the Dash, Grab+Piledriver. Use this as often as| |necessary. An easy boss if I do say so myself. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger 3 | | **Beware of its fireball, its smarter and flees as soon as it is beaten| |down. Aerial Grab+Piledriver or Aerial Throw is required here. Use | |Gatling Boar as a last alternative if you want. | | | |Special Enemy Challenger 4 | | **Use the File Saves (Kiba or Boar) and then use your 'Whirl Kick' and | |keep pressing those buttons. Hold Square or Circle in order to guard | |against the beams. If you use your Invincible Guard your life bar will not| |shrink and is always full, depending on your timing. | | | |STAGE CLEAR! | | | |Final Scenario | |============== | | | |Ogre will be your 'familiar', if you attack with a punch, he attacks as | |well | | | |Semi-Boss 'Guardian' Mecha | | **Use your 'Twin Knucke Pounder' (while jumping press Down+Square). | |Punch often, Ogre does the same thing as you do. It helps to have an ally | |that is not completely useless. | | | |Semi-Boss 'Book' Mecha | | **Dozens fly from virtually everywhere, hit them before they hit you. | |Use the tools in the environment to your advantage. You can also throw | |them at other foes as tools. | | | |Final Special Enemy Challenger | | **If you managed to save 2 Energy Capsules...Use it! Gatling Boar is a| |great choice especially if you align yourself to the last boss in the air | |before File Loading Boar. After you use it all (the Energy Capsules), keep| |attacking it until crystal quartz appear, then stay and guard at the far | |left corner. It will become anxious and it will charge at you, and if it | |does just press Square continously, Ogre will do the job for you. If it | |uses its beam attack, just guard and punch as it draws near or use the | |flying crystals nearby as throw weapons. Guard, if it attacks, punch while| |crouching, then guard again. Repeat when necessary. | | | |Watch the ending credits. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
