OTHER: NA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Vela AVAILABLE FROM: The start! DESCRIPTION: A blue-haired girl who is Juno's sister. SIZE: Average ADVANTAGES: Can swim, crawl, and hang. WEAKNESSES: Can't walk on fire. OTHER: She has all be best abilities (I can deal with not being able to walk on fire) and since she can go underwater she has a major ability over most other characters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Lupus AVAILABLE FROM: The start! DESCRIPTION: He's a dog with rocket pad in his feet and a gun on his back. A pretty cool pet... SIZE: Small ADVANTAGES: Only character that can fly in multiplayer. WEAKNESSES: Lava burns him, can't crawl, can't go underwater, can't hang on walls. OTHER: He's not a very good character to be... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Powered Juno AVAILABLE FROM: After you defeat Mizar the first time DESCRIPTION: Same guy basically just has a more armored look, and that jetpack SIZE: Average ADVANTAGES: Lava-walking, crawling, hanging on walls. WEAKNESSES: No underwater swimming.

SIZE: Average ADVANTAGES: Swimmer, wall hanger, crawling WEAKNESSES: No lava! OTHER: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Powered Lupus AVAILABLE FROM: Kicking Mizars butt round #1 DESCRIPTION: He gets the best armor upgrade.

SIZE: Larger than normal, but still small. ADVANTAGES: Flying. WEAKNESSES: No swimming, lava walking, wall hanging, or crawling. OTHER: As a side note, anybody that has played Smash Bros Melee will know it's fun to "taunt" someone when they die. And Lupus is the only character you can do this with. Just hit C-down or B, depending on your controls. And he'll howl his victory cry. =-P On top of all this,Since he floats in water, instead of swimming, he is the only character that can fire his weapon while in the water.

| COURSES Title: S.S Anubis DESCRIPTION: A rather small room with nine crates stacked around. Best played with light weapons. STRAGETITIES: If you are a smaller character, you can stand on the top center stack of boxes and shoot people away while they shoot over your head. There is also Invicibility on another box to help you out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Tawfret DESCRIPTION: You have about four areas in here all pretty much looped around. Area 1 is an open area that splits to the left to Area 2 and forward to Area 3. Area 2 is a huge room with health and a lot of columns that at the end opens into Area 3. Area 3 is a huge hallway that has a big river down the middle it ends in Area 4. Area 4 has a huge rock formation and is a nice place to fill up on health and ammo. STRAGETITIES: The Advantage in this place is a swimming person character. There is a big river flowing in this area and there is an underwater shortcut. - Also for some reason Tribals seem to just blend into this place. They are especially good at hiding in the dark corners. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Rith Essa DESCRIPTION: There are four natural "horseshoe" forts in the corners of this area. There is also a lot of tunnels and sunken areas. A very fun place. STRAGETITIES: Hiding out in and on top of the "house" in the middle is usually a good move. It's pretty well protected, you can usually pick someone off at a distance and if you are in serious trouble you can leap up to the top and grab theInvicibility at the top. - Tunneling is a great thing in this place. Definately pick a small character or at least a character that can crawl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Close Quarters DESCRIPTION: Yes though the smallest level is SS Anubis Close Quarters makes you feel claustrophobic. It is a huge warehouse like area. There are windows and boxes galore. There are three buildings (a large, a medium, and a small) And two places to get on the roof. STRAGETITIES: Getting on the roof is great, first you load up on weapons and ammo then get on the roof. Then all you have to do it turn around, drop some kind of explosive (remote mine works very well here) down on the boxes you used to get up. When someone tries to get up blow up the boxes. They'll get hurt maybe die and you are king of the mountain as you sniper the rest of them to death. Also try to be the first one up so that if someone tries to use the other rooftop entrance you can pick them off before they know what hit them. Also, try ambushing people through windows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Rith Essa Mine HOW TO UNLOCK: Go to the Walkway and be Juno when heis jetpack capable. After shooting a half dozen drones go to the back left side. There will be a Jet fuelpad. Now if you gotta see it go back to the front and look up. On the highest point over the life force door is a totem pole sitting there calling to you. Just fly up and get it. DESCRIPTION: It is a 3 story level. The top has an open area that has both an elevator and a stairway down. The stair way shows a wide open area that has platforms winding above and a pool with columns below. The Elevator has no view but is faster. STRAGETITIES: The stairway is slower and open, but the elevator is a long trip straight up or down and if you are in the elevator shaft well, you can't leave until you are done riding and a few grenades down the shaft could end that trip. So know the weaknesses of both ways and learn how to turn them against your enemies. - Though I found one thing that is fun is falling down the elevator shaft. In the middle and on the bottom are some Invincibility items (remember to use Heavy weapons for this trick). You can go kamikaze style falling to the bottom and pick up the invincibility and not get hurt. It's also pretty awesome feeling to be this invincible death from above guy when you are falling after an enemy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: SpaceStation HOW TO UNLOCK: First you have to get to the Spacestation level using Vela in Goldwood to take the water exit. Then once you get there you can just go on playing the level the first thing you'll notice is the Jet fuelpad. When you notice this just fall down and you will see the totem pole. I suggest getting a bit of fuel first so you can just jet back up to the top. DESCRIPTION: This is a very nice place. Here everybody has both their advantages and disadvantages. It has a lower open area and an upper more closed off area. The only problem is the flickering lights make for difficult aiming. STRAGETITIES: If you are a swimming-type player I suggest keeping close to the water. If you dive down there is an underground passageway that has health in it and can be a nice way to run from battle to charge up and re-load. - If you are Lupus you can collect Gems in the hard to reach areas that others can't reach without shooting them and running for them. - And if you are a Lava-type player you can rule the area where some heated chemical waste spilled. It has health and Invincibility along with some good weapons close-by. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Tunnels HOW TO UNLOCK: Just dive in the Rith Essa area with Vela right in the area where there is a nice waterfall and an open clear lake. There should be a nice totem pole waiting for you. DESCRIPTION: Well it's a few tunnels that just look around in kind of an eight. There are dead ends. All in all it'll keep you on your toes. STRAGETITIES: If you can corner someone in a cul-de-sac, they can't really escape without getting hit many times with your firepower. Just make sure there are no cheap bums out to shoot you in the back for a cheap kill. - Don't stand still. Ever. Only if you are invisible (and this wears off very quickly) can you sit in one place and expect to live through it. In the tunnels there is no place to hide but straight ahead and if someone is hitting you that is not good. Learn how to be able to snap around and start shooting while running backwards. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: King of the Hill HOW TO UNLOCK: In the same room on Cerulean as the Yellow Key is this very easy to find Totem Pole. DESCRIPTION:It is a circular place with tons and tons and tons of ammo. It's not huge but not too small. The key point is the "hill" where there is health and ammo for every weapon but your rapid firing one and of course the Invincibility item. STRAGETITIES: Get on that hill and you can stock up fast and mow others down and just get back up the hill. A short character can shoot from above while keeping his spot on the hill and letting the fire power fly over his head. - Well being a short character is just great in this level. There are trenches all around so that if a person is not in them they won't see you coming. |
| TARGET SHOOT OPTIONS Ammo: You can have unlimited bullets. But as you get better you might want to limit your ammo to 100, 80, 60, and even only 40 bullets. Control: Normal = when analog stick is not being moved the cursor snaps to center of screen - Directional = when analog stick is not being moved the cursor stays were it was last. - Inverse = same as directional except the direction you move the analog stick will be reversed for the direction the cursor moves. LEVELS NAME: SS Anubis AVAILABLE AT: Very Beginning DESCRIPTION: Very narrow alleys that have stacked metal crates everywhere. Ants usually pop up in pairs where they are either hiding halfway behind a crated or they are in the open but they have tribals with them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Goldwood AVAILABLE AT: Must win a gold on Floyd's Goldwood Mission DESCRIPTION: Very wide open so there are less places for the ants to hide. But for some reason the ants are just as hard to hit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Normal (Rith Essa) AVAILABLE AT: Must win a gold on Floyd's Eschebone Mission DESCRIPTION: Drones pop up in huge groups with this one. There are large winding pathways and a long switchback. There are no tribals. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RACING Nothing is available for this in the beginning. You have to unlock them one by one.

Rare sure likes to put it's history everywhere in it's games. - Veteran's of the game have shown me there is a shortcut that will grab you the lead. When you leave the woods area take a hard left and fly into the hollowed out log. - There are curbs in this level that are almost invisible unless you are careful. - The well is clogged up! |
