This game is one of the last ever made for the SNES. And possibly
the most engrossing. However, I am seriously ticked off the way Nintendo
made this game. They never really did bother to check for any errors it
seems that they were to wrapped in thier 64 bit system to give a ^$*& about
the glitches in this game there are at least 4. Which is way to many for a
finished video game. Unless you buy some pirated game, or Active Enterprise
game. This game is just a remake of the original one made for the NES.
Back in my childhood years of the late 80's (THE GOOD OLDEN DAYS!). Anyway,
have a great time and I hope this FAQ helps you.

For years, Commander Therle and his people have been searching for a
new world to call home. Each time they get close, thier enemy, Doh, pushes
away Therle's ships. Recenlty, a sensor scan has detected new terra-class
planets. Therle sent scout ships to check them out, but Doh once again
scattered his blocks acroos the solar system to stop the ships. So before
they can reach the new planets they must destroy the blocks and Doh.

1. Don't grab a capsule that is too far away you can lose the mission that
way.
2. In some stages there may be a power-up (example in Level 6 the laser
capsules help you destroy the column of gray blocks) you might want to
search for them then can be a big help.
3. At the beggining of a stage your ship will have the ball stuck to it take
advantage of this moment and quickly put the ship into a position so that
the ball will bounce where you want it to.
4. If you have a much needed power-up in a stage go out of your way to get
out of the way of other falling capsules becuase some capsules can revert
your ship and therefore destroy your power-up.
5. Take any warps that you see unless your going for points.
6. Once you get familiar with the game go to the options screen and set a
higher game speed it is easier to destroy blocks when the ball is going
faster.
7. Hold down the B or Y button when moving your scout ship on a controller,
press and hold the left mouse button when using a mouse to make your ship
go faster.
============================================================================
E N E M I E S
============================================================================
1. Mini-Saturns: These enemies look like small saturn shaped orbs. They
help you because when you destroy them they have a large explosion and that
explosion may help get rid of some blocks.
2. Red Blobs: These enemies look like red blobs that change shape from a
diamond to a circle constantly. They are big pain in the %$#. Because they
can create new blocks for you to destroy if you give them long enough.
3. Bubbles: These enemies look like y' know....bubbles! When your ball hits
them (assuming your ball doesn't have the M Capsule Power-Up) it will suck
it up and place it in a new section of the puzzle this can be either helpful
or hurtful. Depending on where the bubbles reappear. If you do have an M
capsule power-up they will be destroyed when hit by your ball.
4. Molecular Model: This enemy looks like a molecule. When hit they will
explode and release their three balls destroying any of your blocks in your
way. But you won't get points for the blocks they destroy. One more hit
from your ball will destroy the balls flying around.
5. Triangle/Circle: These thingss look like a Triangle rotating on one end
of a circle. They do nothing except get in the way.
6. Infinitys: These look like an infinity symbol or if you can't understand
that they look like a rotating capital "S". These things generate feilds of
electricity that makes hard for you to get your ball past them.

B O S S E S
============================================================================
YOU AFCE EACH OF THESE BOSSES 2 TIMES IN THE ENTIRE GAME THERE ARE 3 OF THEM
THEY ARE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GIANT CENTIPEDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This boss is rather easy hitting him anywhere causes damage. You face him
first be careful that you do not get hit by the debris that he spits from
his parts. Also watch out when he compacts into a little ball because he is
about to come straight at you. Move out the way. You face him first. You
fight him on levels: 11, 44, 77.
~~~~~~~~~~
Doh's Face
~~~~~~~~~~
This boss is tough unless you know where to hide when he fires at you. He
will spit out Mini-Faces that will also shoot at you when they stop moving
and go up towards the top of the screen and to the lower right and left. He
can realease 4 of them at a time you can take them out before they fire to
make it easier for you. But they'll come back. If all the faces do fire
hide in between the upper Mini-face and Doh's Face. You'll survive but
youre ball will probably fall offscreen and you will lose. For many of
the players this is the first stage they will lose. Tryo to sneak in shots
at Doh's Face whenever possible and whenever he takes enough dammage the
mini faces will blow up and his face will turn around. And he will fire
lasers at wherever you are. Keep moving. And use your ball to hit him some
more. The more you hit the bigger his face will get. He is an easy target
now but so are you. But not as much as you think. You shouldn't have any
trouble when his face gets big. You fight this one in levels: 22, 55, 88.
~~~~~~~~~
SUPER DOH
~~~~~~~~~
This boss is probably the hardest espiecally when you face him for the last
time. He can hit you with his arms and he also can turn the screen around
reversing your controls. Try to take it slow and get the bal up underneath
him when he is turned around chances are it won't come back out. When he
takes enough damage. He will turn back around again and repeat this process
Bash him, he will turn around, then wedge the ball when he is turned around,
he will turn around again, and repeat. After all of his arms are blown off
he will constantly fire lasers at you. Keep moving and hit his body until
he blows up. You face him in levels: 33, 66, 99.
============================================================================
P O W E R - U P S
============================================================================
S CAPSULE-Changes your scout ship back to normal if it has been changed by a
capsule. (Can be used with none of the power-ups.)
~~~~~~~~~
T CAPSULE-Creates a forcefield on either sides of your ship it will deflect
only 1 missed ball. Sometimes when you haven't really missed a ball it will
dissapear as if it was hit.
~~~~~~~~~
M CAPSULE-Changes your ball so it destroys all blocks it hits in ts path.
~~~~~~~~~
L CAPSULE-Gives your ship a gray appearance and gives it the ability to
shoot lasers at blocks. Press the A button to fire.
~~~~~~~~~
G CAPSULE-Whenever your ball hits your ship it will stick to it for a while
giving you an oppurtunity to put it in a strategic position. (Of course
after getting this capsule.) Or press A or X to relase the ball. The ball
will only stay on for a while.
~~~~~~~~~
E CAPSULE-The length of your ship is doubled you can only collect this
capsule twice with an effect. Thus, you cannot collect 3 and get a tripled
length.
~~~~~~~~~
D CAPSULE-Collecting this will genrate 8 balls in this SNES version. This
can help you destroy a LOT of blocks.
~~~~~~~~~
B CAPSULE-Catch this capusle to open a warp gate to the next higher level.
(Can be used with all of the forementioned capsules including P.)
~~~~~~~~~
P CAPSULE-An Extra scout ship (or life) will be added to your total lives.
(Can be used with any capsules). These capsules are rare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KEEP IN MIND HERE THAT CAN BE USED WITH MEANS THAT IT CAN BE COMBINED WITH
THOSE MENTIONED POWER-UPS WITH OUT LOSING ITS ORIGINAL STATE. THE FIRST
STATE THE FIRST POWER-UP GAVE IT.

============================================================================
G L I T C H E S
============================================================================
There are many a glitches with this game at least that what I think. Anyway
here are the ones I found as of this writing.
Glitch #1-Play a 1 player game then lose. Then let the continue timer run
down to zero. Then select a 2 Player C Game. In this game you will play
the normal order of stages and bosses in the one Player game using the 2
Player Format.
Glitch #2-This is the exact opposite of the above one. Play a 2 Player
C Game and let one side lose and don't continue. Then enter a password
you will end up playing a one player game with 2 scout ships on either side
on the screen for players 1 and 2. For fun, when fighting the Super Doh
boss. Press Start a couple of times until the top of the playing field
scrambles. You will then hear the 2 player battle mode music. This trick
could work with other bosses as well. If you can't start a new one player
game with this procedure try resetting the system after the continue
countdown goes to zero.
Glitch #3-When in the edit mode make a pussle the size of the field. Then
instead of exiting press the other button instead of the other button you
would use when the cursor is on the exit sqaure do this a couple of times
then quickly exit the background area around the exit button should
scramble.
Glitch #4-Pause right after the ship fully appears on the 1 player game
screen. The game should freeze a little after you unpause. This doesn't
always work.
Glitch #5-I think this is a glitch anyway. If you do the above Glitch #5
trick and it doesn't work from then on the ball will take a little while
to appear on top of the ship when starting a new stage or after losing a
life.
Glitch #6-I think that the level 33, and 66 cinema are exactly the same.
It seems that nintendo got lazy while making this game!

Be careful when enemies are flying around your ball the ball can hit them
and usually the ball will go flying in a different direction causing you
to miss it.
Try to rebound your ball so that it hits a block that is hard to reach.
When you have caught the T Capsule and you have a force field be careful not
to let the ball hit the very end of your scout ship if you do let it hit
the very end of your scout ship you will lose the force field.
After levels 33, 66, and 99 you will see a cinema scenes. The level 33
cinema and level 66 cinema are exatly the same. You will get credits after
level 66 wait after the credits and the game will start up on level 67.
