Mission #1: Rescue at Axis 5
Objective: Locate agent Marissa and get out of the enemy base

as fast as you can.

From the beginning, fly right until you get to some elevator platforms.

Go down one level and then go right until you can’t go any further.

Shoot down through the floor and then continue to go right.

Fly up the opening you come to and go right to an orange wall.

Wait a few seconds and the enemy to the right of the wall will

blast an opening in it. Now go right and destroy the cannon.

Continue right along the lower path to a big room full of orange

blocks. Shoot your way through the blocks to the lower left corner

of the room to find Marissa. After picking her up, fly straight

to the left (shoot through the orange blocks) until the mission

ends. There is no boss in this level.

Mission #2: Boarding Party
Objective: Seize control of the enemy ship.

Go right from the start and drop down the first pit. Continue

right along the upper path until you get to a big room full of

missiles. Exit out the room on the right side (use your map(1)).

Continue following the path to the right until you get to a section

that is too short for your metal warrior to fit.

At that point, jump out of the warrior (press Select) and

go right until the mission ends. There is no boss in this level.

Mission #3: War on the Rock
Objective: Secure the enemy base.

Go right from the start until you get to a vertical shaft. Fly

to the top of that shaft and go right.

Shoot down through the orange platforms and then go to the right

until you get to a cannon on a ledge above you. Shoot the cannon

and go to the right from it. Drop down and jump out of your metal

warrior. Fly to the right and shut off the “On” switch.

Now get back in your metal warrior and fly to the top of the

shaft. Go to the right until you get a message that says you’ve

captured the central computer. You must now protect the Central

Computer Core.

Mini Boss: Central Power Core
There are 5 core generators on the wall (they are numbered

1-5 and look like orange circles with a glowing dot in the center).

You must protect at least 1 of them from the enemies that are

flying around (about 15 of them) until you are told “Good

work, now go to the hangar”.

After saving the core, shut off the “On” switch at the

bottom of the room and then follow the lower left path until you

find a life power-up. Ride the elevator up 1 level and go left

until you get to the gun turrets on the enemy drop ship.

Boss: Enemy Drop Ship
Shoot the 3 gun turrets on the top of the ship, then get out

of the robot, drop down into the ship, and go to the right side

of the ship where it says “Ship Com”. When you are

told to guide the ship back into the base, just push right on

the control pad to move the ship until it stops.

Mission #4: Ship Defense
Objective: Protect the mother ship from all of the attacking

enemy warriors.

You are on a spaceship in a Prometheus robot. You must protect

the space ship from the attacking robots. If too much damage

is done to the main part of the ship, you lose. Just shoot all

the enemies as they appear. Keep defeating them until the stage

ends, about 25 enemies that you must defeat.

Mission #5: Frontal Assault
Objective: Find and destroy the huge ground defense cannon.

Go right from the start until you get to some railroad tracks.

Shoot down through them and drop to the ice level below. Look

carefully on the ice for a section with cracks in it and shoot

down through that part of the ice. Drop down and go left until

you find a place that you can shoot down through the floor. Drop

down again and start going right until you come to an elevator.

Ride it up 1 level and then go right until you come to a small

narrow passage. Jump out of your warrior and fly right and up

until you see an empty warrior above you. Fly left, up, right,

and then down to get to that warrior and enter it. Drop to the

floor and go left to an elevator. Ride it to the top, go right,

and up through the opening. Shoot the orange barrier on the left

until it disappears. Then get out of the warrior and shut off

the “On” switch. Now move to the left to find the boss,

The Ground Defense Cannon.

Boss: Ground Defense Cannon
The only part that you must hit on the cannon is the glowing

orange spot in the center. The best advice is to shoot the small

round spots below the center of the cannon so that they stop shooting

out the little grenades. Then concentrate on the orange spot.

Mission #6: Inferno
Objective: Locate and steal the enemy’s new combat unit in

the underground research facility.

From start fly right until you can drop down an opening to some

yellow blocks. Get out of the warrior and fly through the small

opening to the right. Fly to the right and down and turn off the

“On” switch on the left to open the yellow blocks. Fly

back into your warrior and drop down to the very bottom. Go right

to an elevator shaft and drop to the bottom. Go all the way to

the right and then fly up and continue to the right until you

drop down, Shoot through the wall to the right to an elevator.

Go up 1 level and continue going straight to the right until you

get to a narrow opening. Get out of your warrior and fly through

that opening until you come to a ballistic warrior. Enter that

warrior and continue right and down to the lower right corner

of the area to find the underground base. Once you are in the

underground base, go right and fly up the first opening. Go left

and turn off the “On” switch. Now go right past the

elevator to 4 yellow blocks. Wait a few seconds and they will

disappear. Drop down to the very bottom, get out of your warrior,

and go through the narrow opening to the left. Go to the far left

and turn Off the “On” switch. Now return to your warrior

and go to the right. Shoot the floor to find a section you can

drop down through and then go to the left.

Carefully go past the electrical barriers and shoot through the

next section of floor to drop down one level. Now go to the right

until you get to a large yellow elevator. Use the elevator to

get around the right side of it and continue to the right to another

yellow elevator. Ride it up 1 level and go right to another yellow

elevator. Take it down 1 level and go right to a gray elevator.

Ride it to the top, go left to another elevator, ride it to the

top, and go to the left. Ride the next elevator to the right up

1 level. Now go left, up, and then right until you get to the

boss, the Drache.

Boss: The Enemy Drache
Fly around to avoid being hit and shoot the Drache as often

as possible. If you get close to the enemy, use the laser sword

instead of the gun.

After defeating the boss, fly down through the hole in the lava

below, jump out of your warrior, and go to the right. When you

see the Drache warrior, climb into it and fly straight up to finish

the mission. After getting the Drache warrior, fly straight up

to the top of the shaft and go right through the first opening.

Go all the way to the right, then all the way up, then left to

4 yellow blocks. Place the Drache in the opening in the upper

left, exit the warrior, and fly to the left. Look for an opening

going down that is just big enough for your character to fit in.

Drop to the bottom and enter the Havoc warrior. Now shoot the

wall to the right of the “On” switch. Get out of the

Havoc and turn off the switch. Get back in the Havoc and jump

up through where the 4 yellow blocks were. Go up and over the

hill to the right and then drop down to a gray walkway that you

can shoot through. Drop down, exit the Havoc, and fly to the right.

Fly right and turn off the “On” switch. Now drop to

the left and turn off the 2 “On” switches. Now fly

to the right and then straight up to return to the Drache warrior.

Enter it and fly down and then left. Shoot down through the floor

and go down. Take the first path on the left, then the first path

going up. Fly straight up into the sky until you can’t go any

further. Then fly to the left until the mission ends.

Mission #7: Fire
Objective: Prevent the Axis forces from destroying the base

at Dorado City.

From the start, go right, shoot down through the floor, and drop

to the bottom. Now go as far to the right as you can and then

fly up the shaft above you. Work your way to the right until you

get to the 2nd elevator shaft. Half way up that shaft is an “On”

switch that you must shut off. Now return to your warrior, fly

to the to of the shaft, and then fly to the right until you are

sent to section 2. You will be told that there are 3 enemy units

in Zone 4. Fly to the right staying along the bottom of the area

until you find the first enemy unit. It looks like a large metallic

worm. Defeat all the worms to finish the mission.

Boss: Three Large Metallic Worms
When it shoots, jump out of the way of the bullet, then land

in front of the worm and shoot it a lot.

Mission 8: The Tower
Objective: Steal the Axis commands key from the main Axis

Communications Tower.

From the start, exit the warrior and go to the left through the

narrow opening. Go all the way left then drop to the very bottom.

Now go all the way to the right, then go up, then right to the

“On” switch and turn it off. Now go left and drop all

the way to the bottom. Go right and enter the Drache warrior.

Fly to the left to get the message saying that you have the command

key. Exit from the warrior and turn off the “On” switch.

Now get back in the Drache and go right, up, left, and then go

to the upper left and find a narrow passage going straight up

to an “On” switch. Turn it off and then go back down

that passage and take the first left. Follow the narrow passage

left, up, then right to a prometheus warrior. Enter the robot

and go right to the first elevator. Ride it up to the top, exit

the robot and fly left to an “On” switch. Turn off the

switch and then return to the Prometheus robot. Walk to the right

until you get to another elevator (make a bridge with the B

button to cross over a gap). Ride the elevator up to the top and

then go to the left. Go up the next elevator you come to and then

go to the right. Fill in the gap using the B button and

go up the next elevator you see. At the top, go to the left until

you get to a closed door. Exit the warrior and fly right, down,

and take the first path to the left until you get to an “On”

switch. Turn it off and then return to the warrior. Go left through

the door and then ride the elevator up to the top. Go right until

you see a closed door. Exit the warrior and fly to the “On”

switch below the door. Turn it off, return to the warrior, and

then go right through the door. Continue going back and forth

and riding elevators until you get to a large Drache robot. Defeat

the robot and then continue to the right and turn off the “On”

switch. Go out the upper right corner of the room that had the

large robot in it. Follow the path right until the mission ends.

There is no boss in this level.

Mission 9: Final Mission
Objective: Go inside the Axis main base and destroy the super

weapon.

From the beginning, drop all the way down (slowly) until you get

to a large green beam. Fly to the right and then drop down to

the bottom. Exit the warrior and turn off the “On” switch

to the right. Get back in the warrior, go up, and take the first

path on the right. Work your way up to the upper left corner of

the room and then work your way up a shaft where blocks are sliding

back and forth through the walls. At the top, turn off the “On”

switch and then go through the door that opened. Go up and follow

the path right to the second set of orange blocks. Exit the warrior

and fly up through the narrow opening to find a Havoc warrior.

Follow the path all the way to the left and then shoot up through

the blocks with X’s in them. Jump up as far as you can go and

then head to the right until you get to a wall that says, “Axis

Core”. You are now in the underground Base. From the beginning

of the Underground Base, go all the way to the right until you

get to an “On” switch. Turn it off and then go to the

upper left corner and go through the door that opened. Now wait

until you see some blocks appear from the walls and use them to

work your way up as high as you can go. Then work to the left

and drop down a long shaft. Turn off the “On” switch

and go through the door. Work your way to the left and then up

the shaft. Then go right until you come to some orange blocks

in the floor. Shoot down through the blocks and then follow the

path to the left until you come to the Boss – the large green

robot.

Boss: Large Green Robot
Because it has a huge gun and flies around the entire room,

there are no tricks or safe spots.

Just shoot fast and use your shield a lot. The Havoc robot is

a better choice than the Prometheus.

However, if you can get to the boss and use 1 as a back-up, you

will stand a better chance. After defeating the boss, exit the

warrior and go through the small opening in the lower right. Fly

up to the top and enter the Nitro warrior. Now fly straight up

until the mission ends.
