The Levels
1. Los Angeles:
Enemies: 6
Locations of Health:
Next to the tunnels
Next to the pit of fire
Next to the burnt-out building near the pit of fire
Over the area with the 3 small jumps in the road
In the small caged area across the bridge(super)
Strategies:
Blow up the hot dog stands to find weapons.
Destroy the four "legs" of the electrical source to get weapons.
Use the ramps to get on top of the tunnels to find weapons and a
teleporter which takes you directly to the small caged area.
You can break the glass in the tunnels by driving through it.
You can blow up the bridge by setting a Remote bomb on or below it.
You can blow up the Hollywood sign by jumping and firing a missile at
it.
A nice tactic to use is to go all the way along the road, grabbing
weapons, then when you reach the tunnels, go up to the flat area and
grab all the weapons. Do this over and over again, firing at enemies
who get near you. You'll keep replenishing your weapons, and you'll be
moving most of the time so you're a difficult target.
If you are Warthog, Spectre, or Minion, a cool tactic to use is to use
the ramp to jump on top of the tunnels, and then just sit there facing
the hot dog stands. If anyone comes into that area, fire your Special
at them. The good thing about this spot is that nobody can really hit
you.
2. Moscow:
Enemies: 5
Locations of Health:
In the center on the glowing object
On the upper level
Strategies:
Every so often, the Weapons Generator in the center of the area above
the ramps will produce a weapon inside of a red beam. Jump through the
red beam using the ramp and you will collect the weapon. Also, every
once in a great while, there will be a super Health power-up inside of
that beam instead of a weapon. Get it while it's there, regardless of
what your health is.
You can blow up any of the ramps by placing a Remote bomb on them.
You can blow up the Weapons Generator by firing Napalm at it!
You can blow up both the Weapons Generator and all of the ramps by
placing a Remote bomb on the glowing object in the center.
Weapons can be found on three of the ramps, and also underneath them.
Firing Napalm at the banners hanging on the wall will burn them away.
One of them reveals a secret code.
Because this level is so small, it is very fast-paced. Run laps around
the top, firing at enemies. You can use Homing missiles while up top
to hit enemies down below. Watch out for Rico bombs running rampant.
3. Paris:
Enemies: 6
Locations of Health:
Inside the museum
On the rooftops (2)
Above one of the fountains
Strategies:
This level is the easiest one if you know what to do. Use the
teleporter inside the museum to get onto the ledge above it. On this
ledge, move back into the corner on the right side. When your enemies
teleport up here, they will drive off the ledge! You are safe from
harm this way. Before they drive off the ledge, though, shoot them
with something to damage them. Your enemies will just keep teleporting
and falling over and over again and you can blast them without getting
hurt. Also, they might cluster down in the street and fight each
other. You can fire Napalm (left, right, up) at them while they're
down there to cause even more damage. If you run out of weapons, just
use machine guns. It just takes longer. You might think this is a
wimpy way to play, but it works wonders. Also, if you're going to do
this, don't blow up the Eiffel Tower. If you do, then the enemies will
have access to the rooftops and can shoot at you from there. Leaving
the Eiffel Tower standing forces them to remain down in the street.
You can blow up the Eiffel Tower by placing a Remote bomb either
inside it or under it. Once you blow it up, a ramp is created that
leads to the rooftops, where there are Health power-ups and weapons.
Shoot the parked vehicles and statues to uncover weapons.
To get something over a fountain, sit in the center of the fountain
and let the water push you upward.
There are weapons inside the Eiffel Tower, too.
Shoot the Mona Lisa with Napalm to burn the picture away and reveal a
secret code.
4. Amazonia:
Enemies: 6
Locations of Health:
On the island
On the bridge
In the temple at one end of the bridge
In the underground tunnel(super)
Strategies:
The lava in this level gradually drains your energy away the longer
you drive on it.
You can shoot at the temple at one end of the bridge to reveal two
hidden rooms. In one of these rooms, there are three buttons. Shoot
each of these buttons to reveal Turbo, Napalm, and a Health power-up.
Shoot at the center of the temple across the section with several
ramps to reveal a hidden room. Inside this room, you can use the
teleporter to go to the island, which has weapons and a Health
power-up.
Shoot at the giant statues to reveal the underground tunnel. In this
tunnel, you can find weapons and a super Health power-up.
I like to run laps around the circle in this level, going up the
temple ramp to get the two Homing missiles up there, and also jumping
over the ramps at the other end to get to the island.
After you defeat everyone in this level, you have to fight Minion.
5. New York:
Enemies: 6
Locations of Health:
On top of the structures with pointed roofs
In the swimming pool
In the elevator shaft(super)
Strategies:
YOU CAN BLOW UP THE STATUE OF LIBERTY!!! :) To do so, simply shoot at
her with missiles or whatnot, and she'll turn into a girl wearing a
bikini.
You can drive off a ledge to your death quite easily in this level if
you don't know where you're going. Make sure that if you're going to
drive off an edge, there's something beneath you!
This level is much easier if you know a simple trick. For this trick,
you need Rico bombs. You can find 4 of them in this level, in these
locations: 1) Under the brown ramp on the brown building, 2) On the
top tier of the light gray building, 3) In a corner of the dark gray
building, and 4) Between two of the structures with pointed roofs.
When you've got your bombs, go the lower tier of the light gray
building, and face the ramp that leads to the upper tier. Sit about 5
or 6 "squares" away from the ramp. When somebody comes down the ramp,
as soon as they reach the bottom, fire a Rico bomb. It will hit the
enemy, knocking them off the ledge! They will fall to their death.
This trick is wonderful. Make sure your timing is accurate, though.
Also, watch your radar to make sure no one is approaching you from the
sides. You can use your radar to tell when someone is on the upper
tier, because they will be near you, but their "dot" will be flashing.
That indicates that they are on a different tier than you are,
obviously the upper one.
On top of the dark gray building is a light gray structure. Shoot this
structure, and you will reveal a hole. Fall down the hole and you will
land in a swimming pool (with a Health power-up near you). There are
Fire missiles around the edge of the pool, and if you go around the
corner, you will find more weapons in the locker room. You can leave
this area by driving through the glass past the locker rooms.
To get the Power missiles on top of that light gray structure,
jump(up, up, left) on top of it, stop, and jump straight up.
If you fall into the dark gray building's indentation in its side, you
will land in an area with a teleporter. This teleporter takes you to
the upper tier of the light gray building. You can also go through a
narrow space and then turn right to be where the structures with
pointed roofs are. Drive straight past them and you will see a glass
office building. Drive through the glass and you will see an elevator
door and a teleporter. The teleporter takes you on top of the
building, where you can jump to either the brown building, or the top
of the pointed roofs. If you destroy the elevator door and go in the
shaft, you'll find a super Health power-up.
On top of the pointed roofs there's a poster. Drive through it to
reveal a Power missile. If you're going fast enough, you can drive
into one of the upper tiers of the glass office building, where you
can find weapons and also the elevator shaft. (Does anyone think the
guy on the poster looks a little like Dennis Rodman?)
On the brown building, you'll find a ramp that leads down into the
glass office building. When you go through the glass, you'll actually
be on the middle tier of the office building.
If you fall in the right place between buildings, you'll see a secret
code made out of red lights.
6. Antarctica:
Enemies: 7
Locations of Health: On one of the ramps in the middle ravine
On top of the red ramps
In the center of a square hole in an ice structure
On top of the large white plateau
Strategies:
Because this level is set on a glacier, every so often part of the
glacier will fall into the water. You can tell when this is going to
happen when steam rises out of a section of ice. Don't fall with it,
or you'll die. You can also drive off the edge of the glacier.
You can use the falling ice to your advantage, though. Here are a
couple of tricks to use. You can use the red ramp to jump on top of
the other red ramp (the one with the Health power-up on it), and on
that ramp no one can reach you because it's elevated off the ground.
You can just sit here on this ramp, and watch the ice fall (and your
enemies fall with it). If you're patient, you can beat the level this
way without harm. However, if too much time passes, the red ramps will
fall into the water, so get off of them when they do. When that
happens, you can drive onto the large white plateau with the white
ramps at either end of it. This never falls into the ocean so you can
sit here. However, every so often, someone will come up one of the
ramps and you'll have to fight them. You can try and trick them into
driving off the plateau by driving off it yourself, but be careful of
enemies below you. This strategy works better than running around the
level, getting hit constantly and possibly falling off the glacier.
You can shoot the little towers to reveal weapons.
The teleport in this level takes you to a small island with weapons on
it.
The middle ravine area also has lots of weapons for the taking, and
ramps leading out of it.
7. Holland:
Enemies: 9
Locations of Health: In a haystack opposite a windmill
In a haystack near a windmill
In a corner opposite a windmill
Next to a windmill
Inside a windmill(super)
Strategies:
This is the worst level. Nine against one in a wide open field with no
cover is not my idea of fairness. Don't stop moving in this level, and
use your shield a lot, and you may have a chance. And don't think
about hiding in the windmills, because the enemies will blow them up.
The teleports next to each windmill will take you inside of them,
where you can find weapons and a super Health power-up in one of them.
Shoot the haystacks to reveal weapons.
8. Hong Kong:
Enemies: 8
Locations of Health: In a parked car
Down a dead end (2)
In the intersection at the center of the water area
In the train tunnel
In the temple(super)
Strategies:
You can jump over the fence using the ramps, but it's kind of
pointless to do so because the water on the other side kills you. :)
You can find weapons in the water area, next to the fence.
Shoot the parked cars to reveal weapons.
Inside the temple, use the teleport to go to the center of the top
tier. Once there, drive off one of the ramps using Turbo to reach the
ledge at the perimeter of the temple. Here you can drive around the
perimeter to find weapons and a super Health power-up.
You can find lots of weapons in the train tunnel, but be careful of
the trains. There's one going in each direction. You can shoot them to
blow them up, but they come back. You can also jump on top of the
trains. Doing so will recharge your weapons every time the train
drives through an opening. There's also a secret code on top of the
trains (hard to read, though).
The strategy I like to use in this level is getting all the weapons in
the water area, then inside the temple, then in the train tunnel,
shooting at whoever is in my way. I do this over and over again. It
takes a lot of time, but you gradually wear down everyone, and they'll
start dropping like flies eventually. After you beat this level, you
fight Dark Tooth. You can get a separate password for just the Dark
Tooth battle so you don't have to beat everyone in Hong Kong again.
