Introduction <->-<->-<->-<->-<-> Well, welcome to a brand new faq for S.E.S.B. (Super Empire Strikes Back), one of the hardest games ever! Yeah, many people says that game is so hard to beat, you can never imagine and so on, but this one, definitely is hard. I promise!!If got any questions, comments, or something, just mail me for sure at: lufia3@hotmail.com I'm just happy if you send me mails, I like them. And if you have anything with reason to say, I maybe edit it here in this faq (in the faq section, or any other). I'd like to say that you shouldn't take this faq too seriously, I mean, it won't change the world really. So if you are mad at my spelling/grammatical errors, don't be too mad. This game is quite big, (larger than I thought). For example, sit down and try to play the whole game from start to end without turning off the snes. (That will take you a while). So the faq is pretty big also. Excuse me for all grammar errors! I hope it's not that disturbing. If you think they are too many, and too bad, mail me and I'll update the document. Everything in this faq was/is made by me Yakuza. I made this faq mostly because nobody else had to this game. I always do that. I mean, games like ff7 and Zelda 64 doesn't really need another faq.... Instead, games like this one need it. I was wondering a long time if somebody ever would make a faq for S.E.S.B., but it seemed that nobody thought so. Then I waited until the release of Episode 1 "the phantom menace" that maybe would spin it up and somebody would make a faq for this game, but that didn't happen. So I did it myself instead. Ok, I talked too long, let's get started. I won't say too much here, you'll read so much anyway. For more info about what you can do/not do with this faq, please read the legal info section. Sorry for bringing it out so late!! I have no exscuse, but a few reasons why (oh, here I go blaming something else than myself, rather common that I do that :) is that I had a lot of school stuff to take care of, visiting friends, and all other stuff that comes up in life(you know how it is). And, of course, I'm a bit lazy, so it took me some time to finish. Anyway, here it is. Fresh and hungry for comments. I tried to make it as clean as possible. It should be easy to read, at least with everything I've done. I also made it so easy to read that every person should be able to read it, from experts at reading faqs, from newcomers who don't understand a thing. If you are confused and wonder what a walkthrough is for example, read on and you find a place to read to get some info, the section is not far away.... #################### Notice this!!!!! #################### One more thing: I don't think I'll update the document so soon after I posted it, I might wait at least 2 weeks or something, cause I want to take some time off from this gamefaqs stuff. You know, it's not too good to spend all time in front of a computer (other things suffers then, like friends and school and so. I don't know how many times I could have watched movies instead of writing this faq. I had to decline several fun things). But I don't regret writing it, on the contrary, I enjoyed it a bit. But there was times it was pretty dull. Also, it's good if I take some time off (Oh, I'd love to) from www.gamefaqs.com because otherwise I might get sick of it(poor CjayC, he's stick with it forever! :) and when I come back, I'll be in full condition to check things up. And gamefaqs gets soooooo much better if you were away for a time and then come back, to check up what happened. So don't expect any soon updating , right? Here's some help if you don't really understand what a "walkthrough" is, or description of stages, etc. Here's a short explanation of all that stuff: ¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤ EXPLANATION OF THE TABLE OF CONTENTS ¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤%¤=¤ (This section is most for "unexperienced" gamefaqs searchers that ain't so sure about what every section is about. If you read this section, you get a view of all others, without the effort to read every other section just to understand what they are). Are you confused? The first time you read a "faq" and don't understand anything? What is a "walkthrough"? I don't understand a thing here! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!..... Chill out man, this section will help. If you only found this place, all your trouble is gone. If you check a little lower down, you see the explanation about what a "walkthrough" is. It tells you about what the different sections of the faq is, what they contains. ,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ 1. Introduction is what you've read right now. It's the introduction with some text about the faq, the game, how to mail me, etc. Yeah, it's the introduction.... (-): Short info is of course info about the game, and about the faq. Read this section to see stuff about the game, when it was made, which company did it, etc. * My review of the game is a short review of the game, so you can get a view of it and some ideas about the good/bad points in the game. <> Basics is(yeah whadda ya think?) the basic things. Both to the game and this faq. It tells you what are most important, etc. I suggest you read it... @: The characters This section tells us a bit about the characters, with their story, what kind of weopons they got, how they are dressed, what they do in the movies, etc. It's not neccessary to read, but it could be good for the "inexperienced" star wars guy... A: Story How it all began. We get some info about why it is like this, what happened etc. B: Controls How to control the hero in the game. You get tips on how to use the control pad, knowledge about what the different buttons do, etc. C: Items, pistols+forces and more is the section where you find everything about the pistols, the forces and items. Look there for further info about it. D: Walkthrough This is the section where most tips and cheats are. Look there if you really need to. It can spoil your fun, because it might help you so much you don't like it. Trust me, I've been through stuff like that before. Anyway, in the walkthrough, you find everything from each level to the last, how to beat it, tips, etc. This is the biggest section in the faq(quite naturally, walkthroughs are often big). E: Enemies The section where you find every single enemy and help, information, everything about them. F: Bosses Where you find tactics about the bosses. G: Special tricks You find tips and tricks down here. Some of them are neccessary to beat the game. H: Faq The section where questions are answered. I just answered one single question that I think most people are wondering about. But if you have more questions, e-mail me and tell me, and I'll update the faq again! I: Credits A section where I wrote some names of guys that I think should have some credit for their hard working. It's the same as on the top. J: Legal information If you are thinking about doing something special with this faq, no matter what, check the legal section, it says some things about what you can do, not do. K: All text in the game Maybe you missed some text and wants to see it again, or just want to read what they said again, cause you missed it, check this section, it contains all text in the whole game. It can be valuable because the text might give you some tips about what to do, and you can follow the storyline much better reading the text. L: Description of stages A section where I wrote some info about the different stages, based on 1 at the time. You get tips, a view over the stage, and you can also see what kinda enemies that are there. This is something quite new I added in my faqs, I haven't seen it in other faqs, at least not around www.gamefaqs.com M: Changes between the movie/game If you're a real "die hard star wars fan", you want to know every single stuff different from the movie. I also think that it's nice to see what sections are/are not in the movie/game. M: is the section where you see the differences between the movie/game. N: Some about the movie Since this game is based on the movie, the game follows the storyline in the movie quite well. To understand things better if you haven't seen the movie, but you're playing the game, here's some info about the movie. It can be good to read. ,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ Ok, let's start with the faq: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (-):Short of the game and this faq +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yeah, this is more like an introduction to this faq and the game for you. Here're the few special things also, like small details in the game and so on(like differences, and other stuff). Look here for some view of the whole document/work. Well, check it out! **************** About the game **************** The name is Super Empire Strikes Back and it is the sequel in the series. You can play with three characters, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. The game is based on the movie, The empire strikes back(star wars episode V). The game was made 1993 by Lucas Arts entertainment. It's a very hard game if you play on Hard. The game will be quite tedious the first 7 levels, because then you only face snow-levels, with moaning snow- monsters, but the game gets better after a while. You can play in two different styles; one is that you play as a character and jump from platforms to platforms and shoot down everything, the other is that you play as a ship, flying almost as in a fly-simulator. The game is of course based on the movie "The empire strikes back"(for you who haven't seen the movie, the movie's all about an imperial force that's taking control of the galaxy, and the only ones who can stop them is the rebels. The rebels defeated the imperial forces in the first movie, but now the empire's back, chasing the rebels). If you get any problems with the game(or just want to re-experience some of the classic theme) you can get some inspiration if you watch the movie. Before I did this faq, I watched "the empire strikes back" with a friend and then I got some inspiration and a few more ideas. The game will also be more fun if you've watched the movie, because then you can spot some places in the game that were in the movie, and you'll also know which chapters in the game that are not included in the movie. I suggest you watch the movie, it's definitely classic! Sorry the game is not that classic as the movie is.....The game can be a bit boring and "almost the same" all the time, but after a while it will get better(when you finished all that snow-stages, they are all so super-boring). Maybe it depends on the movie, it was pretty "dark and evil" compared with the others. --------------- About the faq --------------- I did it because nobody else had. Super Empire Strikes back is a quite big game(especially to be a platform game), so it's quite naturally the faq will be big also. Everything is made by me, and all names so too(I made them up). I tried to make the faq as fully I could. It should contain almost everything about the game. It's almost complete. You miss anything? Mail me, and I'll update it later, when I know someone really needs it. And for you guys out that think this game is too hard to beat at Jedi, I can only say try, try, try until your eyes pop out. Someday, you gonna make it. I can't say with 100% that this faq will help ya to beat the game, but I hope so. It maybe can reveal something you have a problem with. Again, I'm sorry for all spelling/grammatical errors. What you can do/not do with this faq you can see in the legal info section. Check it out if you plan to do anything special with this faq. And please, please respect the info there. I'd hate to be you if you did anything wrong with this faq.... ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? *: My review of the game ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Review was made: 2000-11-07 This is Yakuza's review to the star wars game SUPER EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. For Snes system. The game is made by Lucas Arts 1993. This is the third(I think) in the star wars series(One to Nes, and one before this to Snes.) The game is based on the movie, The empire Strikes back(episode V). This game is the sequel to "Super Star Wars"(first in the SNES series). So what did Lucas art change from the prequel to get new customers? Well, they upgraded the graphics, brought some new sequences and new action moments. But is it worth buying? Well, read on! ~The catagories~ ¤Storyline:¤ "It is a dark time for the rebels. Although the death star has been destroyed, imperial forces have driven the rebellion forces from their hidden base, pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreadful imperial starfleet, a group of brave freedom fighters, led by Luke Skywalker has etablished a new secret base on the remote ice world of hoth, a dark and snowy base. The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young skywalker, has dispatched thousand of remote probes into the far reaching galaxy..." In the first movie, Luke was a young man who lived with his grandparents at a farm. But all of a sudden, the empire came and killed his family and destroyed the whole area. Luke, who's brave and gentle meets up with Obi- Wan Kenobi and from him Luke learns about the force. They join the rebel army, a small but strong organization that still fight back against the empire. But Obi-Wan dies later on, and Luke goes to Dagobah system to learn how to use the force from Yoda(a mysterious jedi teacher). The practice is long and tough, but after a some time Luke finally learned the force and now he's about to challenge the empire with the rebel group. The only question will be if he can stand up against the mighty empire. Darth Vader is a great Jedi-knight and a master with the force. He is also Luke's father, weirdly. But he was turned to the dark side, and now is an evil agent. th Vader). By using Darth Vader, they try to convince Luke to change his mind. Darth is a great Jedi-knight and a master with the force. He is also Lukes father, weirdly. But he was turned to the dark side, and now is an evil agent. th Vader). try to turn him to a dark Jedi-knight, and if he accepts he'd turn from the good ones and become an agent of the darkside. This is what the empire wants, then the threat disappears and instead they'd have a new powerful ally instead. Luke is strong with "the force", he can control a special power only Jedi knights can, a mysterious force that controls life and death. Using the force could be really great, you can do anything, including bad things, like the empire tries to, rule the world. Luke is mankinds only hope and the last Jedi knight. Luke learned the force from Yoda(another Jedi knight that trained Jedi for 800 years) but Yoda is too weak to fight the empire and Luke is the only hope. Luke must stand the pressure. If he gives in, the whole world is doomed... Classic theme, and of course it's following the guidelines from the movie(that was made at the late 70s). For complete storyline, I suggest you watch the movie, then you'll figure it all out. Score storyline: 8.6/10 @Graphic:@ The graphic is restricted to the SNES engine and is on 12MB. so you can't expect full 3D resolution and all that stuff, but personnally I don't think that's needed. S.E.S.B. is a 2D platform/shoot 'em up game where you run from left to right. Positive points of the graphics are the details, colors, backgrounds and atmosphere. The fair ones are the special effects(the detonator, blasts, etc). Negative ones are characters and enemies. It seems Lucas Arts focused on atmosphere and the storyline to get the game as involving as possible. Later on(after the snow stages) you'll find some fine backgrounds with deep detailed screens etc. The colors are also decent, fitting and contributing to the atmosphere. The special effects are quite okay, not awesome but not bad either. What you expect it to be. The enemies and the characters are though unfortunately a little too ugly and you can almost see that they are harsh drawn. But oh well, most of them are okay. Overall, I think it's good graphic, better than many games to Snes.(Only the Donkey Kong Country-series and the outstanding graphical games are sharper). Weopons(lightsaber and blaster) items and all other things are quite okay. Oh well, if you know what the SNES is up to, you won't be disappointed of the graphic S.E.S.B. has. Score graphic: 8.4/10 +Music/Sound:+ The star wars series recieved a lot of credit for its magnificent music. We've all heard some music or tunes from the movies, and some of them are played at important events, performances and much more. The music for the series has reached cultural status and if you'd hear it on the radio or anything else, you'd recognize it immediately. Unfortunately, the audio for S.E.S.B. is not exactly identical. Ok, the songs are the same and sounds okay, but they don't fit in that good. Unfortunately they used the same music at too many stages, and you'll get tired of it after a while. Overall the music was not so successful. On the other hand, the sounds are on the contrary very good. The sounds in S.E.S.B. is many, from blasters to recovery noises. Even if the music was not so great, the sound is. It contributes a lot to the atmosphere wherever you are. Just take the jungle stages for an example. While you're playing as Luke in the dark jungles of Dagobah system, you can hear the birds chirping somewhere and all other strange noises from all the animals around. When you jump down in a cesspool or sea, you'll hear the water splashes perfectly. Also, the weopon sounds are good, the blaster sounds decent and the movements sound realistic. The sound makes up for the music. Score Music/Sound: 7.7/10 *Controls:* You can play as three characters in S.E.S.B; Luke, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Each one of them has their different style etc. Luke moves smooth and elegant but is not so strong, Han Solo is avarage and Chewbacca is big and clumsy but strong. Then you see how it is(Luke's quite easy to control, but Chewie is on the contrary hard). All characters have blasters to use, but Luke can also control the light sabre. You won't find any annoying movements or irritating combinations, everything's plain easy. Sometimes you control ships and X-wings in a kind of simulator mode, wich makes the game more varying. Overall, there's nothing to complain about, but the control is not innovative either, it's like most platform games. S.E.S.B. deserves a little + to other games though at the end... Control score: 8.2/10 %Challenge:% If you find a harder game than Super Empire Strikes Back, I'd be very surprised. Ok, at level normal and easy it is possible, but test Jedi(hard). It's impossible!!!! As you figured out by now, you can choose among three degrees of diffcultness, easy, normal and hard. The snow-worlds are very difficult to beat and the enemies attacks you all the time. Your energy-meter is much less now also, and you don't get things to help you that often. Yeah, at Jedi(Hard) it is very hard. This must be the hardest game I ever played(and I played quite much, trust me) so you guys that think you are masters of tv-gaming and can beat any game, play this game!!!! I give you my word that you don't beat this one the first thing you do... Score challenge: 10/10 =Gameplay:= This game does not have any sequences that are that fun, so I can't say it's that entertaining. But it is quite amusing, because it is HUGE, and it takes a while to get through, and then test Jedi, (You will get a shock, you can't imagine!!). I hate the snow-worlds, it's so damn hard with those snow-beasts. Later, you'll come to other sequences that raises the gameplay a bit, like the speeding-, x-wing and simulator modes, the jungle at the middle of the game is best, and that makes the game more fun. Fortunately there are three characters to play as, it would be drag to only play as Luke. But overall in the game, the entertainment value is not so high. You'll play it for the diffcultness or just that you got no other games to play. Score gameplay: 7.1/10 ¤Replay value:¤ Unfortunately, the replay value drops too much after beating it for the first time. Reason? Well, first of all since it's such a hard game no one wants to go through all that again. Second, there are no secrets, extra bonus stages or something else that will keep you playing, and third, you'd just won't enjoy playing it again. It's that simple. Replay score: 5.4/10 -Summary- ONE OF THE HARDEST games ever. No doubt. But is it that intresting/Cool/Fun to play? Well, it's medium. It is a good platform-game, especially for star wars-freaks(even if the game doesn't is exactly as the movie) but it is too focused at the first levels(snow worlds) so damn hard, so it is boring to play through them. But after them, the game gets a little better. Based on the star wars movie, and overall an avarage platform game, that would be the best short description I'd say if only using one line. Overall Score: 7.3/10 TOTAL SCORE(Score on a line between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10):7/10 Gameplay 7.1/10 Graphics 8.4/10 Controls 8.2/10 Story 8.6/10 Music/sound 7.7/10 Replay 5.4/10 Challenge 10./10 Overall 7.3/10 Total 7/10 One line synopsis(describing the game): Choosing hard, this might be the hardest game ever, but is it fun?" ¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤% <>: Basics ¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤% Here are the basics and things that can be good to understand when you read/play this game. ¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤% About the game: ¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤%¤% Look, when I talk about that this game is hard, and you think it's easy, I think either you're a good player, maybe better than I am(but which I really doubt hahaha!) or you are playing one of the other difficult modes than Jedi. Ok, the differences in diffcultness are Easy---Easy Brave--Normal Jedi---Hard You will recognise I use these words often in the faq. Now, remember that I mostly speak in this faq like everything is so hard, and that is why I wrote the faq in Jedi mode.

It is also a little info about the movie characters here, so you can see the things better. This section has nothing like solutions, help, nothing like that, it's just a section describing the characters a bit. It's more for fun actually. But it could be nice to know something about the characters. So, here it is! Some of the characters in the game: ---------------- Luke Skywalker ---------------- The main hero in this movie, and of course then in the game. Luke Skywalker, sounds like a real hero. You guys that have seen the movie(and I guess you are quite many) know who he is. In the game, he can use the light sabre and guns. He can also use the force later, when he learned it from Yoda. The main time in the game, you will play as Luke. Especially in the beginning, where many snow stages taking place. Luke starts with a blaster less than the other characters. Luke is dressed in a pilot suit, with orange coulor and black belts around his body. His hair is yellow. Luke is the guy that will save the planet Hoth(where the rebel base is situated) from being destroyed by the empire. You played the prequel, Star Wars? That game includes Luke also. I like Luke, he seems nice and brave. He's also friendly. The only question will be if he can stand up against the mighty empire. They'll try to turn him to a dark Jedi- knight, and if he accept it, he will be a hero of the dark, devestating every good thing in life. Luke is strong with "the force", he can control a special power only Jedi knights can, a mysterious force that controls life and death. Using the force could be really great, you can do anything, including bad things, like the empire tries to, rule the world. Luke is mankinds only hope and the last Jedi knight. Luke learned the force from Yoda(another Jedi knight that trained Jedi for 800 years) but Yoda is too weak to fight the empire and Luke is the only hope. "Luke, don't give into hate! That leads to the dark side!"-Obi Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: Episode V when Luke flies towards the cloud city. ---------- Boba Fett ---------- Just a middleboss in the game, but I like him quite much, with his cool suit and nice weopons, so that's why I listed him here. Boba Fett was a mercenary in the movie, and so he is in the game. He is the one that will catch Han Solo. You will face him on the cloud stage as Chewbacca. Watch out, he's pretty tough!!(See walkthrough for further info). Boba Fett carries a helmet(to hide his ugly face :) and his suit is green. He also got some kinda jet motor that makes him fly. He and the empire co-operate to catch Han Solo that will work as a decoy, to trick Luke over there. The empire must either destroy Luke Skywalker, or turn him to the dark side. Luke is strong with "the force"(mysterious strong power) and he cannot be ignored by the empire, cause then they'll be defeated. That's why they caught Han Solo, he's nothing but a decoy to trap Luke there. We'll see how it ends.... ------------------ Lando Calrissian ------------------ Han Solos best friend, also a gambler and owner of the Cloud planet. I love Lando's style, he reminds me of Eddie Murphy ;) Lando is an old friend of yours, and you fly towards his planet, to avoid the empire. You who've seen the movie know how it goes...Lando will be forced to betray you by the empire. But cool as he is, he makes up a plan and fights the empire on your side. But you cannot play as Lando in this game, he's just there, talking. Lando carries a blue suit. Lando doesn't affect the game in any kinda way, you are just talking to him for a few seconds, following the movie storyline. Anyway, Lando is not an important person. ---------- Han Solo ---------- Lukes friend and a real gambler that would make Setzer in FF3(ff6) jealous. Han Solo got so many bills to pay, so many that they get him into trouble. You'll play as Han Solo later in the game, when Luke finished all Snowspeeder and snow sequences. Han Solo can only use the gun and grenades. Use the grenades at the bosses; they are strong. Han Solo got brown pants, blue jacket and brown hair. Luke and Han met in the first movie, and then they joined the rebel fleet a long time ago. Han Solo loves money. You'll play as Han at several stages, from running at a sidescreen(like you do as Luke) and you'll also play with him as in the ship, the falcon. Han Solo loves his ship more than anything. His one of the best pilots in the galaxy, and also one of the most cocky..... ----------- Chewbacca ----------- Han Solos big friend and looks like a huge monster, almost like a bear on two legs. But he is friendly. Chewbacca can also only use the gun but has a devastating attack, the spin. Use it by holding A-button until the force- meter is empty. It's very strong and meanwhile Chewbacca spins, he is invicible. Very handy. You will play as Chewbacca when you approach Cloud City. The only weakness with Chewbacca is that he may be a bit clumsy, but his strength makes up for that. Chewbacca is a "wookie"(sort of star wars animal) and got brown fur. ------------- Darth Vader ------------- The droid in black suit, with a black helmet. You guys that've seen the movie must know who he is. He's one of the leaders of the empire, and very evil. He is a great Jedi-knight and a master with the force. He is also Lukes father, weirdly. But he was turned to the dark side, and now is an evil agent. You'll face Darth Vader in the end of the game. Darth was once a good jedi knight, taught by Yoda. If you've seen the first episode(the one who got released, you know who he was, that Anakin skywalker boy is actually Darth Vader). Darth will try to turn Luke over to the dark side, but Luke must stand the pressure. If he gives in, the whole world is doomed. But is Darth really evil? Is his mind totally gone? Why would he do his kid any harm? Well, all these questions are answered in the third movie(that one with all those small cute bears). ------- Yoda ------- Master of the force. He has trained Jedi for eight hundred years, and he was the one that learned Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. Now he starts to learn the force to Luke. Yoda is very friendly and a great master of the force. He may look small and innocent, but he has a huge power. His skin is green, with a brown suit as well. Yoda lives at the Dagobah system, a damp and green planet, that in fact is a jungle. He finds Luke and R2 in the movie. Luke chases him off, but then decides to follow this little creature to the great Yoda. Then it turns out that this "little creature" actually is Yoda. Kinda funny in the movie.... ---------------- Obi-Wan Kenobi ---------------- Obi-Wan Kenobi was a wise and old man. He was the one that showed the Jedi- force for Luke and encouraged him to be a Jedi-knight. Too badly, Obi-Wan was old and weak and sacrificed his life to rescue Luke in the first movie. But Obi-Wan still lives, as a spirit that helps Luke on his journey. You won't see anything of Obi-Wan Kenobi in this game. Obi Wan Kenobi carries a coat in the movie, but as I said, you won't see him in the game. ------- Leia: ------- Leia is the princess that leads the rebels, and is the leader for the only hope against the empire. Princess Leia is skillful(especially to be a woman. No offense now girls!) and a great leader. But she is maybe a little bit "bleedy", so when the empire comes threating people, she may reveal a weak point. But Leia is a good leader(and according to the movie, she and Han got something going on....no more to say about that). ------------- The emperor ------------- Holy Moly! This is absolutely the guy with power!!! This guy would do anything to rule the universe. He is a master of the force, even stronger than Darth Vader or Luke, and he is totally ruthless. Darth obeys everything the emperor says and this guy is a real boss. You won't see anything of him in the game, but in the movie, he plays a big roll. ------ C3P0 ------ A golden colored droid that speaks 6 million(!) languages. He translates every language for Luke and tells what the other little droid "R2-D2" says. C3P0 seems to be a nerd, but he can be good to have. You won't see anyting of him in this game either. ------ R2-D2 ------ R2-D2 is a droid with the capability to read computers, change secret codes, translate texts and command portals, computers, machines etc. He can also carry information in big sizes. You won't see much of him in the game(just a few glances at the text sequences) but as the other ones, he plays a big roll in the movie. (The rest of the characters and the enemies/bosses everything will you encounter later in the game, so don't worry. If you really need to check them out in this faq, look in the boss section or the enemy-list. I can't say for 100% they are there, but everyone/everything I encountered should be there. But, mistakes happen.....) """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" A: History """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" (The story in the game, based on the movie. This is the intro text) "Episode: V The empire strikes back" "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." "It is a dark time for the rebels. Although the death star has been destroyed, imperial forces have driven the rebellian forces from their hidden base, pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreadful imperial starfleet, a group of brave freedom fighters, led by Luke Skywalker has etablished a new secret base on the remote ice world of hoth, a dark and snowy base. The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young skywalker, has dispatched thousand of remote probes into the far reaching galaxy......... Super Empire Strikes Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ########################################################################### B: Controls: ########################################################################### Yeah, you've read any other faqs? Then you should be able to know what this section is for. If it is the first one you read(or if you just wants some reflections) this is the section where you see what the varying buttons do, what functions could be used, etc. Anyway, the best way to learn the controls is to play the game by yourself, to see how they are. I'm pretty sure you learn it after a while, it's not that complicated. Learning it is one thing, but to control it like a master is something else!!! I tell ya, this game is hard(if you play at difficult). It could be good to know if you really want to know how they are. But as I mentioned, you learn them by yourself later.... You can change the controls if you want, at the option menu, but this is the way I have it, cause it's the most fitting, I think. Well, here're the controls: Big button(gray to the left) is the moving button. Push right, and you will move right. Move left, and you will move left and so on. You can run and shoot at the same time, just press right and Y-button while U hold move- button. Press up to use the force. --------------- Start-button: --------------- Pauses the game. If you just press it once, the whole game freezes in the current position and you get time to do whatever you want to. --------------- Select-button: --------------- Get luke's force menu to appear. By doing this, you can choose among all his spells and stuff. You choose among the spells by pressing "L" or "R" buttton. ---------- B-button: Jump. Use it to jump over enemies, gaps, avoid needles, etc. ---------- ---------- Y-button: ---------- Fire your weopon, or swing the sword. You can also deflect the enemies' attacks by pressing down and Y. I bet you'll be familiar with the Y-button pretty soon, it's the button you gonna use most in this game. ---------- A-button: ---------- Change sword to blaster, change back to the ordinary weopon, throw grenades as Han Solo and using the spin attack as Chewbacca. ---------- X-button: Use the detonators. You'll see when the detonator is about to disappear, the "thermal" text starts to blink. ---------- ---------- L-button: Press to look down. Use this to see if you have something under. ---------- ----------- R-button: Press to look up. Use this to see if you have something above ya ----------- ----<>-------------<>------- Combination controls: ----<>-------------<>------- You can combinate the different buttons to make fatal strikes and better techniques. Sometimes you must combinate the different buttons to beat this game(like the double jump). Mastering the double techniques is almost required to beat the game. ----------------- B-button twice: ----------------- Will make a double jump, jump from one gap to another and then press b again, and you will do another jump in the air.(Just like the jump in Donkey Kong Country). This technique is the most important technique to learn. By using this one, you can get higher, longer, and reach higher platforms. Very important move! ------------------------------------ Down+moving direction and B-button: ------------------------------------ Slide at the ground(Luke, Chewbacca), or roll(with Han). Use it to get through distances quickly. But remember, it can be dangerous to do this becuase you lose control of your hero for a second, and then he is very vulnerable(you can get hit easily, especially from flamers). --------------- Down+B-button: Jump to a platform lower down, or sit off a tauntaun(steed) --------------- -------------------------- Y-button + moving button: -------------------------- Shoot at all kind of directions. Just hold Y-button while moving pad. --------------- Down+y-button: Deflect bullets. --------------- Select+L and R buttons: Luke's force menu will appear. Switch forces with L and R. <-------^-----------------------------------------------------^----------> Views: When U control a snowspeeder, falcon, or a X-wing(a spaceship) <-------^-----------------------------------------------------^----------> ============== Snowspeeder: ============== -------------- Start-button: Pauses the game. As normal. You can do this to take a break, stop the game when your mama is calling ;) or whatever. -------------- -------- Select: Nothing. You do nothing with the select button on the SNOWSPEEDER. -------- ------------- Move-button: ------------- Moves the Snowspeeder. You move the ship in the direction you push. ---------- Y-button: ---------- Press y-button to shoot. Hold for auto-shooting. But the bullets/lazers are pretty weak. They only work against the regular enemies, and the AT-ST's. ---------- B-button: You can press B-button also to shoot. It's the same as the Y. ---------- ---------- X-button: You can also press X-button to shoot. There's no difference. ---------- --------- L-button: Press to fire a wire to left. You use wires to defeat the ATAT's. --------- ---------- R-button: ---------- Press to fire the wire at right, at the snowspeeder.(The same, but on the other side). =============== The Falcon =============== ------- Start: Press start to paus the game. As with any ship. ------- -------- Select: Nothing. As always, when you play in the spaceships. -------- ---------- B-button: Press B-button to fire. ---------- ---------- A-button: You can also press A-button to fire. ---------- ---------- Y-button: And, another alternative is to press Y-button to fire. ---------- ---------- X-button: And X-button to Fire. ---------- ----------- L-button: Moving left. Press L to move the falcon to the left. ----------- ---------- R-button: You will move to the right. ---------- ------------ Moving-pad: Moving the ship, in the direction you want. ------------ ============== The X-wing ============== ------- Start: Press start to paus the game(as always) ------- -------- Select: Nothing. -------- ---------------- B-button: Fire. ---------------- ----------------- A-button: Fire. ----------------- ---------------- Y-button: Fire. ---------------- ---------------- X-button: Fire. ---------------- ---------- L-button: Fire a Proton missile on the left side ---------- ---------- R-button: Firing a Proton missile on the right side. ---------- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// C: Items, forces, and pistols+weopons /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Yeah, this is the section for guns, weopons, forces and items. I did it in different chapters, cause it would be so big otherwise. From here there are three chapters in one, all in one thing. Check out everything here about info, help, etc. So, check it out! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Items: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% C: 1:1 (All the items) ------------------- Darth Vader head: ------------------- The Darth Wader heads are black and look like a Darth Vader's head(quite naturally name then). When you catch a Darth Vader head you will hear"You cross it!" and the text 2x point will come up. It means you get double the points, like if you kill an enemy that only gives 50 points, it will now give 100. If you grab another Darth-head when you already have one, the score will increase again, now this time to 4x points. It means you gain 4x more per enemy you kill. 50x4=200. You gain 200 for an enemy that gives 50 otherwise. And if you grab a third one, you will get 8x, eight times more. 50x50=400. For an enemy you usually gain 50 points, you gain 400. Sounds complicated? Well, I tell ya, it's really simple. If you play the game, you know what I'm talking about. ================ Force powerup: ================ A green shining capsule. It will recover some of your force-energy. These ones are really good to grab if you need the force(and the force is expensive to use) so look for Force powerup. At the last boss(Darth Vader, who else?) you can recover a lot of your force by picking up Force powerup that are hidden inside the blocks. -------------- Light sabre: -------------- "Health Swords" are white and looks like the one Luke uses. You usually have to swing your sword/shoot a bullet in the air before it appears. You can also get it from enemies. Increases your life-meter by a very short distance. Pick up as many as you can, because they increase your life-meter and then you can have more energy. You will also gain extra score the more health swords you picked up. The healthy swords are really good to get. First, as I mentioned, they increase your energy. Secondly, when you finish a stage, you get points of how much energy you got. If you picked up light sabres, you can have more energy and then you will automatically get more points. Notice: The light sabres don't exist at next level when you beat one, you have to get new. Advice: Pick up as many as you can, especially at the snowstages, cause things gonna be rough over there.... ----- Gun: ----- "Blaster Powers" are blue/white and look like guns. You often have to swing your light sabre/shoot a bullet in the air before they appear. You can also get it from enemies, but that's a bit unusual. BlasterPowers are pretty rare. Blaster Power improves your gun to the next stage, to another gun. It's like if you have seekers and gain a blaster power, you will get Rapid Ion. Pick up as many blasterpowers as you can, they powerup the weopons. But you can only pick up 4 of them(as Luke, 3 as the others), then you'll have the best weopon possible. If you pick up more, nothing will happen. So pick up them until you have enough for the plasma gun(or your fave weopon). ------------ Big heart: ------------ Bigger than the small ones, and red. They are often hidden in the air, so you gotta find them by uncovering 'em. Also, you get them when defeating major enemies(that are a bit harder) or when you destroy a box or something. Recovers a lot of the energy. I love to find these ones! At some places there're many of them, but don't take more than you need, they don't come back, so save them to later! Try to save and fully use your big hearts, it's good to know how. ------------- Small heart: ------------- Red color, small. You get them almost every time you bust an enemy. Recovers some energy, but not much. You need a load of these ones if you wanna stay alive. For every enemy(almost) a red small heart will pop out. Take them immediately, because they vanish after a while. ---------- Shields: ---------- A yellow ball. The shields are one of the most rare items in the game. You find them hidden in the air, or you can get them from enemies if you're lucky. If you pick up "shields", you'll be invicible for a short while. You can walk on needles, fight enemies without being hurt, you're immortal......except for gaps!! Don't fall into any gaps with the shields, you'll die. You can also die if you swim too deep. But otherwise, you're invicible for a short while. Pick up them if you see it. -------- 1-ups: -------- "1-ups" looks like a Luke-head. The 1-ups can only be found in special places, often pretty tricky ones to find. If you pick up a Luke-head, you'll gain a life. You find them at hidden places, often hidden in the air. Discover the air to find them. Read the faq if you wanna know where they are located. Also, gaining life by picking up 1-ups are not the only way. For each 50000 points you are up to, you gain 1 life. ----------- Grenades: ----------- You can only use/gain grenades as \_Han Solo_/. Grenades are grey and white, counting down from the start you see it. When you kill an enemy, or destroy a box, grenades can pop out. Then it starts to countdown. At the number you catch it, you'll gain that many grenades. Like if you pick up grenades at number 8, you'll gain 8 grenades. Minimum is 1 grenade, maximum 10. Pick up as many grenades as you can, because they are stronger than a lot of weopons, all guns except the plasma gun. Grenades are really useful if you don't have a strong weopon. That can be a real salvation to have, when you discover you just face a boss and has a real weak pistol. Then you use the grenades instead. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C: Forces/Spells: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C: 1:2 (Continue from the C-section, where all info about the items, the spells and the guns should be. Here are all the spells) These are all the spells/forces in Super Empire Strikes Back!!!! --------------------- |E=Elevation | |M=Mind control | |S=Slowdown | |L=Sabre Control | |D=Sabre Deflect | |I=Invisible | |H=Heal | |F=Freeze | --------------------- Try to combinate all the spells as they work perfectly. I rated the spells also, like I think they are. The scale is 1-10, 1 minimum(crappy), 10 maximum(excellent). Some are better than others, and some are really unneccessary. I also gave you some advices when to use it. The best ones are the fly spell and the healing. +++++++++++++ D: Deflect: +++++++++++++ Not really useful, but maybe can be ok in some situations. Instead of deflecting all hits with the lightsabre, you can use the deflect-spell. If you use the deflect-force, everything hitting ya, is destroyed. It doesn't repel back at the enemies, but the bullets won't hurt you. I really don't use this spell, cause it's pretty unneccessary when you can use spells like invicibility that allows you to run through all enemies, and move freely. The deflect-spell can be used in pressing situations, when you have many enemies around. But as I said, I prefer the invicible-spell. Forget this one, it's just bothering. Rated: 4.6/10 ++++++++++++++++++++++ E: Flying(Elevation): ++++++++++++++++++++++ A nice force. This one is good to get as soon as possible, cause it can take you high up in the air, so you can get new spells, and powerup-items. The flying spell is not neccessary to beat the game, and it has no function in defeating enemies. But it can be useful when you want to gain other spells. Many forces is up in the air, and then they could be hard to gain. Then, the flying spell can take you up there, and gain you the force. The flying spell can also be used for safety, like when you play on a stage full of gaps, then if you fall down, use the flying spell to get up again. That's the main function it has. It's very useful at the last stage, before you use Darth Vader(there're many gaps.) This is one of the better spells. Rated: 7.3/10 ++++++++++++++++++ M: Mind Control: ++++++++++++++++++ Nothing extraordinary. Mind Control is not really so useful. I mean, who needs to control the enemy, when it is killed by one(maybe two) hits?!? It's pretty useless to use, I rather use my healing spell, or the invicible force, because they are better. Anyway, Mind Control controls the enemy, so it maybe is confused and doesn't attack. Then it's easier to kill. But as I said, mind control is pretty useless. Don't bother using it. Rated: 2.3/10 +++++++++++++++ I: Invisible: +++++++++++++++ A personal favorite!!! If you use the invicible spell, you're invicible for a short while(depends on how long your force-meter is.) The invicible spell is one of the best, because when you use it, nothing can hit ya. You can run through enemies, bullets, everything without getting hurt. Just watch out so you don't fall into any gaps, then you're dead!! I like the invisible spell, it's useful in annoying situations. It's very useful against Darth Vader, his lazersabre and all those blocks can't hit ya. Test it sometime! Press X if you want to get the invisible-spell off. Rated: 8.6/10 +++++++++++++++++++ L: Sabre control: +++++++++++++++++++ Quite cool, but not needed. When you use the sabre control, you will throw the lightsabre at your opponent. You can control the sabre, while it flies around in the air. So the sabre can hit enemies/opponents at longer distance, but Luke doesn't have to move. The weakness with this one, is meanwhile you use it, Luke is very vulnerable. You can't defend yourself, and you are an easy target to hit. Another weakness is that the force is expensive. After a few secs, the whole meter is empty. And the spell is not that strong either. So I suggest you use your sabre in your hand instead, cutting all the enemies down. Test it some time, but not when you are in a rather dangerous position, like fighting a boss, then you better take the real way instead of trying something new. Rated: 6.4/10 ++++++++++++ F: Freeze: ++++++++++++ Quite good, but not very needed. When you use the freeze spell, all enemies(almost) at the screen freeze to ice(surprised?) for a short while. This spell is best used when you lose control over the situation, when there are too many enemies around. Then you can cool the situation down by using the freeze-spell. But once again, it's more nice to use your invicible-spell, or just use the classic style, jamming on like nothing special's going on. I never use the freeze-force, it's not needed that much. Rated: 6.2/10 ++++++++++ H: Heal: ++++++++++ Very good. And I mean it. The heal spell is great. I like it, because you can heal your wounds whenever you want. It's pretty useful, because sometimes you're out of energy, and maybe there're no hearts in sight. Then you just recover your energy with the heal spell!!! When you fight bosses that are strong, your energy will decrease. Then you just use the healing spell again, and recover your energy. If you don't see why the heal-force will be that good, you'll notice later in the game. Rated: 9.1/10 ++++++++++++++ S: Slowdown: ++++++++++++++ Totally worthless. This crappy force makes the enemies slower. But it is really worthless. Many enemies are not effected by the spell, and some are not really effected enough. And if they are slower, what kinda difference makes it? Slower enemies are still enemies that exist, the only difference is that they are slower. Now you think they will be easier to kill, because they are slower. NO!!! You will be hit anyway, and the majority of enemies are killed by one hit, so the slow-spell doesn't make any point. It also slows the game down, which is annoying. No, this spell doesn't make any sense. Trust me, it's useless. Don't even test it, you'll just get angry for wasting your time. Rated: 1.6/10 ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Pistols: ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' C: 1:3 (Continue from the C-section where all info about the items, the spells and all the guns should be. Here is all the guns) These are all the guns in the whole game. I rated them how good they are(in my own opinion) 1 is minimum(worthless) 10 maximum(awesome). But remember some of the guns are better used in different situations, like the seeker is best used with many enemies on the screen(a real busting weopon) but the plasma gun is stronger and better used on the bosses. Han Solo and Chewbacca starts with one powered up gun, Luke starts from scratch with the lazer gun. Again, all characters(Han Solo, Chewbacca) start with the fire-gun, except Luke. Only Luke can use the lazer gun, but all other guns can be used by all characters. The only difference with this is that Luke must collect four guns before he has the plasma gun, the other characters only need to gain 3. If you want to powerup your blaster, you must take a blasterpower, a blue/white gun at the stages. They are often hidden in the air, so you must discover them first. Well, here is the list!!! Notice!!! When you die, you'll restart with the basic gun the character has, so if you have a good gun, be careful so you don't die, and lose the gun. All pistols in the game: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Lazer-gun---Very weak. Can be used by: Luke (2) Fire-gun----Quite weak. Can be used by: Luke, Chewbacca, Han Solo. (3) Seeker------Seeks to the enemies--can be used by: Chewbacca, Luke, Han. (4) Rapid Ion---Quick, quite strong. Can be used by: Chewbacca, Luke, Han. (5) Plasma gun--Very strong, quick and the best. Can be used by Luke, Chewie, and Han Solo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************* Plasma gun: ************* The color of the flames are orange, with a sling of red/pink. This one is the strongest gun. You'll gain it when you are fully powered up with blasters(you've taken 4 guns as Luke, three guns as the others). It's the ultimate gun, long range, strong, kills a lot. It's very useful against all enemies, escpecially against the tough ones, with good defense. And let's not talk about the bosses, they die as flies when you use this weopon. A personal fav, and the best gun in the game. Rated: 9.3/10 ********* Seeker: ********* The color is grey, and there will be a lot of smoke in the air. Seeks to the enemies. It's the third gun you'll gain if you play as Luke. After two blasterpower-ups, you'll have it(one powerup if you play as Chewbacca, Han Solo). This gun seeks to the enemies, no matter where they are. The weakness with it, is the power, that can't damage enemies enough. You have to shoot several missiles to kill 'em. Another weakness is that sometimes it seeks to the enemy you don't want it to, like if you fight a boss, a small enemy comes up, and the gun seeks to it, instead of the boss. But overall, the gun is good. Only the plasma gun is better. Rated: 8.8/10 ************ Rapid Ion: ************ The color is blue, and it's quick. The fastest one. It also bounces back from walls. It's pretty strong also. The rapid Ion is quite useful against tough bosses/enemies. But when you face many enemies, it can't hit everything. Ok, it can, but it's harder to hit with it, compared with the plasma gun(and definitely compared to the seeker, it's automatically hitting everything). But it's better than most guns, but I still think that the seeker, and the plasma gun are better. You'll gain the rapid Ion after you've taken 3 blasterpowers as Luke(two as Chewbacca and Han Solo.) Rated: 8.3/10 *********** Fire gun: *********** Better than the first one, a little stronger. Yellow color. The second gun you'll gain as Luke(the basic weopon as Chewie, and Han Solo, they start with it.) The effect of it is that it's a little stronger than the laser, but nothing else. It's just a powerup. Rated: 5.8/10 ************ Lazer gun: ************ The color is orange. The first gun, and only Luke can use it(because Chewie and Han Solo already start with the fire-gun.) This is the weakest gun, so you better powerup so you get rid off it. The lazers bounces against walls. The real weakness is the power. It's very weak, and if you wanna kill a tough enemy, you have to shoot it many many times. I suggest you use the sabre instead of this blaster.

Here's the place to look if you are stuck, or just have a problem. Attention! The bosses and the enemies are not here, they have an own section. If you have any questions, or just simply wanna say something about this walkthrough, you better mail me at lufia3@hotmail.com Sometimes I take a break right in the walkthrough, to tell you special info, or anything else. Then I wrote the word "special help" there. You won't see that so often, but when it's there, you know the "real" walkthrough starts a bit longer down. Also, I'm not so sure in which order the stages come, sometimes I maybe did a mistake like putting the wrong stage before another, a mistake in the order. I'm sorry, maybe it's a bit confusing, but I think it won't complicate things too much. Sounds worse than it is, actually. I mean, you'll see if I wrote the wrong stage before another. And all stages are here, no doubt. It's just that they are in the wrong place, one before another etc.(So why don't I correct this then? Well, I guess I'm too lazy to play the whoooole game again, just to see in which order the stages would be like). You'll recognise the stage you are on by checking the name of it in the walkthrough, and how it looks like(compare your game to the faq). If you really think this is a problem(which it shouldn't neccessarily be) mail me, and give me some info what's wrong etc, and I'll update the document. But I guess I'm too lazy to fix this "small error" without to know that someone really needs it. But if you think it's disturbing, mail me now! Ok, I rumbled already all too much about this, I find it not so important anyway, it's not disturbing the walkthrough anyway, so let's get down to buisness! Ok, let's get to it!(I hope this walkthrough can help you out of some tricky situations). :"""""""""""""""""""": START WALKTHRU!!!!! :"""""""""""""""""""": "------------------------" Stage 1: The beginning "------------------------" Alright! The game is beginning, and you start playing as Luke Skywalker. Start heading right, walking through the snowstorm. Keep heading right all the way, it should be no real problem. Ok, there're several enemies that block the way, but just shoot 'em down and keep going right. The stage is not so long, so in a few minutes it's done. |--------------------------------| Stage 2: Checking the meteroid |--------------------------------| The first thing you should do, is change your weopon to pistol. Go right and shoot everything you encounter.(It's much easier to get through all these hords of enemies using the blaster than the sword). Go in the small hole you'll see down in the snow and swing your sword. You'll gain a big heart. (Ok, for you guys that would like some lives, read the text below. If you're not intrested, skip the following 15 lines). Here there will be a gap, and if you fall down, you'll land on some needles. But, there's also a way to earn lives here. If you fall down, and then immediately fall to left(direct your character to the right wing) you'll land on some invisible platforms, that will save your life. Sounds strange? Trust me!! It is a safe way!! Now, if you start discovering this place, you'll find some powerup-items. This is a way to earn lives if you want. Just get the lives(must be at least 3 lives, 1 health sword, 1 blaster to get)and then you just kill yourself by falling on the needles. Then, you'll die and restart the level. Then you go to the same place again, fall down, move right, land on the invisible platforms and take the lives, and then repeat the whole thing again. By doing this, you'll gain three lives and die one each time you do it. Of course, it's your choice if you want to earn your lives this way. But it's definitely the best place earning lives in the game. If you are satisfied with 3 lives, 1 blaster, 1 health sword, you can continue your journey by jumping up from the gap again. Maybe it's a bit hard, but if you try and try you'll come up. You must use the double- jumping technique. Leave the Tauntaun if you fell down with it, you can't get up with the Tauntaun if you're standing on the invicible pillars. When you're finally up, go right. Jump over the whole gap, using the double jump-technique. Keep heading right. Watch out for the bridge. Go down in the small holes you'll see, because there'll always be some kind of power- up item there. Keep heading right. You'll see a hole with a pig in. Don't be afraid, drop down and kill the swine, and then discover the hole. You'll find a blaster power. Up in the sky, before you jump down towards the 4 icy needles, there will be two big hearts in the sky. Now, run right and forget the meteroids(droids) that will appear. They are just disturbing and can damage you a lot. But, if you really want a blaster power, stay and shoot everything down, several times until there are no more enemies, you'll be rewarded by a blaster power. Keep heading right. Jump from platform to platform.Don't fall down now, because if you do, you're dead. You're almost there now, just make sure not to fall down. When you are over to the right place, you're safe. Enter the cave and you cleared the stage. >--------------------------< Stage 3: First ice-cave >--------------------------< Since there's no where else to go, head right. Be careful, you'll face some snorting beasts. Try to get up where the wind is, it will "suck you up" in a swurl and transport you up to a hidden place. Here you'll obtain some hearts and a blaster power in the middle. Use the sword to find it. Fall down again, and beware of the beast. If you have a strong gun(at least the flamer or seeker, or even stronger) use it now. It's much easier to kill the beasts using the guns, than the sword. Why? Well, it is like this; when you try to go near, the snow beast will freeze you by his breath, and then you'll be paralyzed. And then it will just kill you. So use your gun. Kill it at some distance. Ok, it's cowardly, but much much safer. Anyway, go right after you defeated the monster. Jump from platform to platform. Go up. Whenever you recognise a place that has winds, try to get up because there's always some powering-up items there. Go down when you're in a hidden place. Go right. Watch out for the ice. Go up and right. Use the sabre if you get any problems with those annoying bats, it's easier to kill them, using the sabre. Go right again. Fly up in a hidden place, to left is a health sword and to right is a blaster power and a big heart. You must find 'em by swinging your sword, as always. Go down again and go right. You'll see a beast. Kill it. Keep heading right, and you'll now for the first time, face a boss! (If you want some help, check the boss section). When you defeated it, you'll gain some score. !---------------------------! Stage 4: Ice planet Hoth !---------------------------! Sit up on the Tauntaun. Go right. Cross the bridge, don't fall down, because then.....you know what happens. Jump from platform to platform(don't fall down here too). Cross another bridge and then go a little bit more right, and then enter the cave. ----------------------- Stage 5: Second cave ----------------------- Ok, on the contrary for the other stage, this one is long. The first thing you should do is go under the monster you'll see. Swing your sword(over your head) and three hits, the monster will give up. Go right and stand on a small cliff. It will go down a bit. Look to the right! What?!? A snow- beast!!! Surprise surprise!! Blast it and keep heading right. Use the winds and transport yourself up in a hidden place. When you're up, discover for some powerup-items. Go down again, a long bit. You'll see snow-beasts everywhere. Go down in the water(yeah, there are many piranhas there!) and swim to the right. Enter the small island(a tiny platform) and swing your sword. A blaster! Go back and up again. Now, destroy all snow beasts, one for all. Go right. Here are two levels, one higher and one lower. I suggest you take the upper one, cause it's safer and a bit shorter(you don't have to climb up again then). Jump from pillars to pillars. Jump up whenever you spot a wind. Shoot with your blaster and strike with your sword often, there are always enemies around, trying to terrorize you. Keep heading right. At the end(after many snow beasts and stuff) you'll see an pointing arrow. It means that you must go up. No problem! Just let the wind catch ya and fly high up. Fly up all to the third floor. Finally, you're up from that cave! Quickly run left and start jumping up at the invisible pillars. Up there, if you were quick enough, there will be 2 lives. Go down and right. Jump over the gap. Blast down all those bears. Go right and check all holes you can see. Finally, jump over the gap and ride on the ice block. Try to catch as many rebellion symbols you can, you'll gain a lot of score. (The stage is finished). O--------------------O Stage 6: Snowstorm O--------------------O As always, head right. Cross the bridge. In the hole, there will be a blaster power. Jump from pillar to pillar(don't fall down). Avoid the meteroids. Keep heading right. Whoa!!!!! You'll face a mega droid!(It's a middleboss. For more info, see boss section.) After you defeated the middleboss, the boss music still continues. Isn't that weird? Well, the explanation is that there is one more boss to go. Go right. Now, start cooling things out, stop running, calm yourself, and start recovering your energy. You'll find a big heart inside a hole. Ok, slowly start to run right. Jump over the gap, and ride another ice block. Though, this bonus game is longer, so you'll gain much more points. When the ride is over, cool down. Before you head on, an advice is to kill all those eels that comes in. Ok, it may take a while, but if you wanna kill the boss for sure, you better do this. Stay at a safe place, and start jumping in the water. Soon, an eel will appear. Then do the double-jumping, so it dies. Be careful, you'll need all energy you can get at the boss. There are eight eels to kill. When you killed all 8, there won't come anymore. Then, head on. Now, why in the whole world did I tell you to do this? Well, when you face the boss, the eels will appear. Since you often are in the water, the electrical shock the eels produce will hurt you. And they will create problems. So, get the problem out of this world, by defeating 'em first. Of course, you don't need to, but I think it's a better way because then you can concentrate 100% on the boss, nothing on the eels. Anyway, you killed all the eels, head right. The boss will appear. Good luck! (As always, if you need any help, you know what to do: Check the boss section.) ?-----------------------------? Stage 7: The rebellion base ?-----------------------------? (The imperial troops is just about to invade the rebel base."-All available pilots to their ships!"says the commander. And you're one of the pilots, so you has to go through this stage to get to the snowspeeder.) This is a long stage, but not so hard if you just keep an eye open. Start walking to the right. Avoid the droids that are circling above your head all the time. (Ok, if they are very disturbing, you can get rid of 'em, but it may take a long while. They are many, so when you kill one, it will be replaced by another. If you kill...say 40-60, then they will disappear forever until you die, but I don't think it's worth the effort.) You know what? Here's a good way to earn energy if you need it: See all these annoying droids above your head? For each one of those you smash a small heart will pop out. And when you pick up a small heart, your energy will increase a little. And for each droid you kill, a new comes back. So, if you need energy, do like this: Shoot a droid, step aside, wait for it to break down, pick up the heart and shoot next, step aside, and pick up the heart. Repeat this until you're full of energy. The important sequence in this is that you must watch out for the droid when it falls, it can damage you. Ok, after that healthy "energy-earning advice" we go on with the faq: Go right and blast down every barrel and box you see. When a mechanic spider appear, you can either shoot it down(or if you're out of a good blaster) use your sabre. Just repel his bullets, and the spider will break down. Keep running to the right. Sometimes, you can slide, so it goes a little bit faster, but then watch out for all flamers, cause they hurt a lot. You can destroy the flamers if you want. I recommend that. You won't encounter any real problems, so just keep heading right. YEAH!! Finally a change! For once, you won't be playing on the ground! Drive the speeder and shoot down all white imperial speeders. When you've shot enough, you will jump of the speeder. Then just run right, and get up in the Snow-speeder. You'll gain some points. (I didn't remember this was such a long chapter in the movie, was it?) ~--------------------------------~ Stage 8: Snowspeeding sequence ~--------------------------------~ Ok, here we go. The first real flying-sequence. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mission 1: Destroy 10 Probe Droids, 10 Speeder Bikes. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Yeah, you got to destroy 10 probe droids and 10 speeders. Just drive around, and shoot everything that appears(very intelligent!). You'll probably get the probes before the bikers. -<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>- Mission 2: Destroy 5 AT-ST walkers. -<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>- Yep, you heard it. Destroy 5 AT-ST walkers. Shoot them when they appear. After you destroyed one, check for hearts. The hearts could be real difficult to get if you play at Jedi, because the speeder won't reach them. To take the hearts, you need to drive closely to the AT-ST's when they break down, or you won't get the hearts. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mission 3: Destroy 5 AT-AT walkers. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Ok, this is a bit harder.(Especially on Jedi, then you won't gain that many hearts.) You can either shoot the walkers to death(but that will take a LONG time) or just use the wire(much quicker.) Use the wire(like in the movie) and turn around the AT-AT all the time, until it falls. When you defeated all the AT-AT's, fly toward the last walker. Get your score, you deserved it. -------------------------- Stage 9: Outside an ATAT -------------------------- First, you must blast down several bikers. This can be really hard, because the energy meter is low, and there are sooooo many enemies around, damaging you. I can't tell you a tactic, just drive around and shoot everything. Good luck, it's hard(on jedi). When you are ready, Luke will drop off the snow speeder. Now, again, play as Luke on the ground. Please, be careful so you don't die here, that would be tragic. Go right. Avoid all attacks, cause you gonna be short of energy. Climb the AT-AT's leg. Go up and enter the door you'll find in the background. -------------------------- Stage 10: Inside an ATAT -------------------------- Again, go right. You'll face many enemies, some soldiers and maybe some rolling balls. Enter the door at the right wing to get higher up. Go left and just go on until you reach the door. Maybe you'll meet a mechanic shooter. They shoot shining stars. If you do, deflect the stars with your sabre, so the stars will go back on the mechanic shooter. Anyway, head on to right. Enter the door so you can get to next floor. Go left and continue like this all the time until you reach the top. Search above the doors for powering-up items, they should be there somewhere,at some door. Just go on, you finished the stage after...say 8 levels. ----------------------------- Stage 11: On top of an ATAT ----------------------------- This is no real stage, it's more just like a boss. You'll see some rapid Ion droids up on the roof. If you're lucky, you get a detonator. If you do, run quickly to left and fight the boss. Then just disarm the detonator and the boss will be defeated. But if you're not that lucky(so you won't get a detonator) you have to defeat the boss the other way. (Don't worry, it's really easy.) All you got to do is repel all the rapid Ion shots. You can't fail at this boss! But if you do, look for some help in the boss section. ------------------------------------ Stage 12: Rebellion base collapses ------------------------------------ (Some info about the faq, for the following 2 stages) A'right! You'll play as Han Solo now for a while. At this stage, since it's so big, I only mind where you should go, with a few words, so you know where to go. There won't be any longer explinations at this stage. So's some of the following stages also, all these stages where Han is going to get to the falcon. There's also really no need for longer explinations, so it's just short text here. When I say for example "go left" or "go up" I mean use the elevator. (Ok, continue of the walkthrough) Go right. Shoot down all the boxes or just go right, don't matter it. There will be many enemies here, so I don't mind telling all. Step on the platform and press up. You'll get transported to the other wing. Keep heading right. Step on a platform and go up. Go right. Go down. Go left and up. Go up. Go right. Go up and left. You'll gain a blaster and a shield. Go back again. Go up. Go right. Right. You'll meet a big droid, that shoots rapid Ions. When you defeated it, a big heart will pop out. Go right. Now you'll face the boss. (If you're getting problems, check the boss section). ------------------------------------- Stage 13: Rebellion base destroyed ------------------------------------- Base 2 (I didn't know this chapter was so big in the movie). Go right. Destroy everything in your way. That's the ultimate tactic, if you get any problems, don't know what to do, whatever, just blast some stuff around, and maybe a solution will appear. Well, Go up. Go left. Go up and right. Go up. Go left. Shoot up to discover a blaster power. Go back(left) and cross over the gap to the left and go up. And at last, go left. You'll meet a familiar boss(the AT-ST.) (As usual, any problems? Just check the boss section. A minor tips I can tell you now already is that you can go behind the boss, and then shoot in the air, you'll discover a shield that protects against the rapid Ions for a while). When you defeated the boss, go right and talk to Leia. You'll gain your score. ---------------------- Stage 14: The Falcon ---------------------- (Another fly stage, where you control the air ship Falcon, in a meteror storm.) All you really gotta do is blast all imperial spaceships that appear. You must avoid meteroids also, because when your shield that protects the ship is gone, you'll die. The things that can hit you is imperial stormtroops and meteroids. Beware, the energy will decrease quickly! Also, when you see a ship on the monitor, Quickly drive in that direction, cause the ships disappear quickly. When you destroyed an imperial ship, a blue cloud will appear. If no ships appear, you must follow the pointing arrows in the direction, because that's where the ships are. Stop when the arrows disappear. Now, there's nothing more to say, just be a good pilot and destroy those imperial ships, and you'll win. When you destroyed all 15 ships, what do you have to do more? It seems like the stage will never end!!! Well, you must find the hyperspace point. What?!? Hyperspace-point? What do you mean? Yeah, before the stage is finished, you must go into hyperspace(you know, the falcon has a special function that makes it able to drive quicker) and you go into hyperspace at a special place, the point. To get to that point, you must follow the pointing arrows. Go exactly as the arrows says, and you'll be automatically transformed into the hyperspace(sounds more complicated than it is.) ---------------------- Stage 15: The jungle ---------------------- When you finished the falcon stage, Luke decides to be a Jedi and travels to Dagobah system..unaware of what waits him.. When you reach Dagobah system, Artoo is gone. You must find him before you head on. To find him, all you gotta do is walk all the way to the right. Don't matter all enemies, just run away from 'em. But a good thing to do first, before you start running, is drop down exactly where you start from. Then, do the double-jumping technique(when Luke swings his sword) so you can gain the flying spell. It's hidden right under where you start playing at this stage. With the flying spell, you can fly and gain other spells. When you gained the flying spell, just go right. All the way. After a while, you'll find R2-D2 standing in the right lower corner. ----------------------- Stage 16: Yoda's home ----------------------- Now, you must find Yoda to learn the Jedi force. To find Yoda, you have to go right. It's like the same as the level before, Yoda stands in the right corner, all the way over to the right wing. But this stage is a bit longer than the other. Just go right until you meet Yoda. Watch out for all enemies, they are many and sometimes surprising!! ------------------------------ Stage 17: Deep into amazonas ------------------------------ (This stage is basically about finding the spells. Without them, you'll get problems. I didn't say much about the stage itself, I thought it was unneccessary.) After Yoda's wise words, you must learn the force. (It is much easier to learn in the game than in the movie). How will that be done? Well, the best way is, as always, discover the game and look for every small detail. In this case, all you really gotta do is read my faq!! Alright!!! To learn the force, you must obtain a few force items. For each force item you obtain, you learn that force. For example, you caught the force "Fly" in the previous stage. Where are the forces found then? Well, read on: This stage is all about finding the spells, and defeating the boss. You'll obtain the spells before fighting the boss. Ok, let's go for it! You walk all the way, along the ground, from beginning until you reach a place with some kinda yellow tail(?) that swings up and down. Then you'll see many rebellion symbols(those that give you score) and the screen will move on, so you can't go back. You're in the right place! Many piranhas and eels(+brains) will attack you all the time. Ok, walk on for a bit, then equip the flying spell. When you see some green pillars in the background, jump up on it(make sure you have force energy, or else you can't use the flying spell) and jump up on the pillars. Then just follow the pillars. If you fall down, use the flying spell to fly up. Up here, the spell marks are. And when you pick 'em up, they are yours forever(until you turn the Snes off). Still can't get 'em? Well, then you must search every inch where the screen starts to go slowly to right, so there's no turning back, right before the boss comes. Search everywhere, even if you have to die many lives. The spells are a must have, because the game will be very hard to beat if you don't take them. Once again, all the spells are located high up in the jungle, just before you enter the place where the slimy boss is located. You must get the spells. Ok, how to clear the level: All you gotta do is run right, avoiding all enemies, picking up the forces, and then fight the boss. This boss is pretty hard if you don't get the spells. If you get problems, check the boss section. ----------------------- Stage 18: Cloud City ----------------------- Ok, when Luke learned his force stuff, you will play as Han Solo because Han and Leia are not really welcome at the cloud city, and Han Solo must defend themselves, against some evil plane first. And you will also play as Han at the cloud city, running around. The first thing you should be able to do(and should do) is walk right. Watch out for the loose platform, it will fall down and you'll be stuck into a hole, where electric energy will damage you. Right there, a blue catapult will attack ya. Shoot it down, cause it's quite easy, and you'll maybe get a power up weopon. Keep going right and jump over all gaps you can see(if you fall down, you're dead). You will come to a room, where you can go as free as you want. In here, a blue droid will attack you. Be careful, because his Rapid Ion attacks damage you a lot!! Kill it quickly, and try to avoid the mechanic star-shooter. After, go right. You'll encounter a wall. Jump up on the platform and get up. If you fall down(the enemies can push you down) you must climb up again. So if you are forced down all the time, I suggest you start killing all those annoying enemies, they won't come back, after you destroyed them 8 times or so.... Jump up and continue upwards. Jump up on the pillar and go left. Duck under the lazer, and then quickly roll left when the wall is up. There are a missile shooter in the ceiling, beware! Go left. Jump up on the platform, to get higher. Keep jumping and go up. When you're up, go right. Jump up from platform to platform(yeah this game is based on platforms, if you didn't know that yet, you'll recognize now) and after you jumped enough, go right. Go down and use the elevator around. Go up. Go right. Jump up. Go left. Jump up on the elevator(avoid the wall, it's undamagable, but it can hurt you, roll under it). Go up. Go right and face a hateful enemy. Now, if you're in the right place, you'll meet a hag!!! She/it(it's like a monster) wears a brown coat and carries a chrystal ball. Blast her with your blaster, so you know how much it takes to kill her(that experience will be precious later in the game, cause you gonna face another hag, in a much more difficult position). When you finished the enemy, jump over the gap and go right. Go right a long long way here, until you meet a wall and must climb up. Climb up, using the elevators, and then go left(under the wall). You'll face a thin blue commander(let him taste the blaster). Jump up. Go right and then you are in a typical place for this level, you got two doors with enemies streaming out, and above is a platform you must reach. I think you recognize yourself, you had seen this before. No matter how you solve this problem(by blasting every single enemy) or just flee away, you must jump up on the platform. Then, while you're still up, jump right and then you head that way for a short while, and you'll meet the boss, the ship!!! (If you need further help, check boss strategies). When you finished the boss, go talk to Lando Calrissian at the other side, I'm sure he has some interesting information for you...... ---------------------- Stage 19: Moon city ---------------------- Well, the "walking carpet", Chewbacca got another mission, he must destroy some minor enemies and walk a whole stage. Well, here it is!(You'll play as Chewie). Walk all the way to the right and you will clear this stage. There will only be one problem and I listed it here. It's the same as in the enemy section. If you figure this out and clears that sequence, I can tell ya the whole stage is finished. There is a sort of hag jumping down on you from a platform. The creature carries a chrystal ball, and wears a brown coat. Suddenly, the whole creature starts to jump around, quickly and without hesitations. (If you don't understand a thing here, you'll know later what I'm talking about, when you reach the place, you can't miss it!) Help!!! I get pushed out of the platform!-is your first impression and you're one life less. Yeah, I know that sequence, trust me!(I experienced it often). Often when you face this creature-looking hag you play as Chewie and standing on a pillar, when this enemy starts to jump around. The platform will go down and you'll get pushed off the pillar, down in the gap. So how is this evaded? Well, there is no safe way, but a good way to stay alive is to do this: At the first sec you see the enemy, start blasting it with your blaster. As soon as you hear that strange noise(before the creature starts to jump around) you should get ready for some rock n' roll. Stand waiting for the creature to appear, and when it comes, use the spin(a-button). It's important you got the whole meter loaded, you'll need as much as you can. Now, why was this so good? Well, as long as Chewie spins around, he won't be pushed away from the pillar! And when you stop to spin, you must live the last seconds until the creature drops to the ground. When it's down, start walking toward it(don't mind that it shoots you full of bullets. You're a wookie, wookies can take that) and fire your gun. Shoot, shoot, shoot until it gives. Pick up the big heart before it drops down and go up again. Now, if the creature is back, repeat this again. In the worst case, you have to do this 4 times, until the whole Hag population is terminated. Then you are free to jump up again. Another easier way to defeat this monster is to use a detonator....but then you must have the luck to gain one... If you get a detonator, you're lucky! But don't be stunned then! Run quickly all the way until you meet the monster and then use the detonator. Yes! You finished the monster, without doing all that complicated and hard effort! But you were very lucky.... --------------------------- Stage 20: The crane stage --------------------------- Some help on the stage: Now you'll play as Han Solo again. You're standing inside some kinda factory, with a lot of cranes around. You will also see some flamers in the background. Start by shooting down the crane. Now you'll see thousands of small hearts(ok, many not thousand, but many). Take them if you need, but even if you don't need them, you now know how many they are, and where you can gain energy. I say it again, the cranes are perfect recover havens. When you get out of energy, go to a crane and bomb it down. Then all you have to do is pick all the hearts, and your energy should be up to max again(if you weren't on minimum energy before). Some major things about this stage, and this is good to read: All over this stage, are some kinda freezers. They freeze you down, and when you are frozen, you can't move(I think you experienced this before). But at this stage, it's even more important to know that you must NOT be frozen!! If you will, the enemies will push you down, or even worse, if you're right up in a leap, over to the other cliff and get frozen, the leap will stop and you'll fall down, without a chance to survive, down in the gaps. Too bad!! So when you play this stage, you better be careful, not to be frozen. It may sound overestimated, but I really mean it. Many lives have been wasted this way..... Over to the walkthrough again: Ok, we take it from the start again. You are standing next to a crane. Go right for a while. Jump from platform to platform. Continue right again. ----------------------- Stage 21: Toy Factory ----------------------- You play as the "hairy" Chewbacca, the "walking carpet". Your mission is to find C3P0 again, as he always get into trouble...(I call this stage the toy factory, cause there are so many small workers here. And they all reminds me of toys, so I call it the toy factory.) The first thing(as always) is to go right. There you'll find some witches to blast down. Then follow the room, jump from pillar to pillar. Attention!! Don't wait too long at the platforms, cause as you can see, they sink down in the lava, and lava is never healthy, so don't stand too long at the platforms! Jump from platform to platform over to the other side. Continue to the right. Go down and then left. Go down and right. Go up and right. You'll have some missile shooters in the ceiling over there. Go down and right. Go up where there are long rears. You recognize yourself, where you are? Keep heading right, all the time. Beware of the dropping lava the purple balls are dropping, it damages a lot! A dangerous combination is when the blue thin commander freezes you, and then these purple droids come, dropping their lava ball at you. You'll die almost immediately. Use the crane/lift to get over to the left side. When you are over, keep heading left, all the way. Step up on the platforms and go right for a short while. Now you'll face a hateful machine! I really hate it! (If you get problems, and I think you will, because this boss is kinda hard, you better check out the boss section). This boss is kinda hard because it's hard to hit, got good defense, and of course, it's powerful. The guns kill you a lot. And also, there are machines around, in the environment that are shooting at ya. After you defeated it, be careful! And I say be extra careful, and now I really mean it, because you're often short of energy when fighting a boss like this(escpecially on Jedi) and if you make a mistake; like you drop into the lava, you are a dead "wookie". And beware of the guns in the ceiling. I find it very very very annoying to die now, when you defeated the boss, and if you want to avoid unpleasant happenings, you better be careful. The stage is not over yet!! You must walk all over to the right side, where you find C3PO. Even if this small distance seems easy, there are lava and guns(as I mentioned above) there to stop you. As soon as you see C3PO, jump quickly so you reach him. Then the level is finished. You'll gain your score... ------------------ Stage 22: X-wing ------------------ "Luke races towards cloud city in his X-wing, to save his friends"... YEAH! Another cool fly-sequence! This time you control a X-wing! (Check out the X-wing controls in the beginning of the faq, if you're not familiar with the directioning). It's like driving the falcon, you must shoot down several cloud ships, this time 15. So, it's just to drive around, hitting every ship you see... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Some major tips at the X-wing stage: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never use the laser beams, they won't even hurt the ships. Just use the proton missiles, those you get when you use the left and right buttons(them on top of the control-pad). they are much stronger and will destroy the ships much quicker, without any slacks. The only weakness is that those are harder to hit with.... Drive under the clouds, cause it will give you a better sight(all those pink/yellow clouds can disturb you). Pick up all hearts the ships will leave. Avoid accidents like driving into a ship, cause it will hurt you fatal. "------------------------------------"----------------------------------" Ok, good luck! I can't guide you on this stage, you must shoot down every single ship by yourself! And remember, you must strike every ship the same life, cause when you die, you start all over again..... ------------------------------ Stage 23: Darth Vader's base ------------------------------ So, we found the creep's base!! We can almost feel the sense of an evil force can we?(Well, we can at least smell the foul stench in the air!). This stage is not so long, and you will also face the first Darth Vader illusion. This stage is perfect if you want to take a glance at the following stages, they are almost all the same. The first thing as always you are about to do, is to go right. Well, head on all the way. Jump over the platforms to others. I suggest you equip the flying-spell because it's like a safety plan, when you fall down, you just fly up again. Go all the way, avoid all the speed bikers and head on. You'll face a middleboss, Darth Vader Illusion!! Check boss strategies if you get any problems. You can always use the healing spell if you need. I can give you a few advices here already, some main tips. If you need even more info, then check the boss section. Well, all you have to do is to deflect Darth's sabre and then strike back, and use your healing spell. And then you should win. (Again, for more info, check boss section). After you defeated the Darth Vader illusion, go right again. Stand still and defeat enemies to earn some force powerup if your force meter is empty. I suggest you should have at least half the meter, cause it will all be needed, escpecially for the flying spell. When you gathered some force powerup and feel ready to continue, go right. Go right a long way, and then you'll face another Darth Vader illusion. Do the same strategy again(deflect his sabre, and then strike back, using the heal spell when you're short of energy) and when you defeated Darth Vader he will throw you out through the window. You will fly for a long long while down.... -------------------------------------------------- Stage 24: Darth Vader's place(The endless whole) -------------------------------------------------- When Darth Vader threw you down, you started to fall down for a long long while. Meanwhile you fall down, there will be many many rebellion symbols. As you already know, you gain 50 points for each rebel symbol you get. So try to get as many you can. Yes, the hole is looooong, but not endless. If you just got the patience, you'll be down on the ground after a minute. But as long you're falling, you can always get some rebellion symbols, trying to break your highest score ever. When you are down, don't waste your time to use the flying spell, just to fly up, because I find that pretty unneccessary, because you won't get as much score it would be winning, and your force meter will decrease incredibly much. Don't try to fly up, you're just wasting your time and force meter. Instead, equip the flying force and then head right(as always). Jump over the platforms and avoid all enemies(I hate enemies that blocks the way, it's so frustating!). Jump from platform to platform, over to the right side. Now, here's a tricky place!!! If you go all to the right, jumping from each platform to platform, you'll see some power up items, three force powerups and three big hearts on a pillar. To the left is a platform a little higher. But it seems that you can fly immediately up to the huge platform to the right. Don't try this!!!! When you try to fly up to the right huge platform, you'll recognize you're under the platform and can't fly up. Then, it's too late! For some strange reason, you can't get back and you'll fly around, until the force meter is empty, and then you'll fall helplessy into the gap. And, just to make matters worse, Darth Vader's laughing at ya from somewhere. This seems to me like a trap or something, because when you're there, there's no where back, and the fact that you hear Darth Vader's voice laughing seems pretty much like a trap to me. I died many times because of this, because it seems quite naturally and everything seems naturally to fly up to the huge platform. Be careful so you don't step into the trap. You know what they say, better to take it careful than rush into a trap...(well, that's what I say). It can be a bit confusing this stuff, but if you just jump up to the platform to left, you'll see what I'm talking about. So, jump directly to the pillar to left when you've taken the power up items, without trying to jump up/fly up to the right. When you're up on the left pillar, you'll see a platform formation going up and right. Follow it all the way and jump up at the huge platform. You'll see a door at the right wing. Enter it and you're on the next stage. ------------------------------- Stage 25: Darth Vader's home ------------------------------- Well, you reached a very very short stage, there are no enemies, gaps, nothing at this stage. Just walk to the right, and then you'll face.... ------------------------ Stage 26: Darth Vader ------------------------ (This is no stage, it's just the boss. But I put it here anyway, because it's a sort of place you fight in). Ok, I hope you are ready, cause now you gonna meet the last boss in the game, Darth Vader.... (If you die, you'll start on the same stage again, and you'll here Darth Vader's mechanic voice say "You're too easy". And we can't tolerate that! Let's get him!!) "&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&" E: Enemyz: "&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&"&" As you can guess, this is the enemy section. It contains everything about all the enemies in the game. If you're looking for help, info or anything about the enemies, you've just found the right place!!! I listed the enemies in two catagories, Traps or enemies. Attacks is what kind of attacks they have or use. I also rated the enemies how hard they are to defeat(remember, it's in my opinion, you maybe think something else.) >-------------------------------------< Here's the degrees of diffcultness: >-------------------------------------< VERY EASY, EASY, QUITE EASY, NORMAL, QUITE HARD, HARD, DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS, IMMORTAL!!! (Yeah, VERY EASY is very easy, HARD is quite hard, you'll have a problem with them, VERY DANGEROUS is something you'll hate for the rest in your life, and IMMORTAL is something that will make you destroy the game.....) -------------------------------- All enemies/traps in the game: -------------------------------- (Took me a while to write, so enjoy) Name: Sort: Name: Sort: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ || Small snowball-Trap | Meteroid---------------Enemy || || Big snowball---Trap | Flying Ice-bird--------Enemy || || Bat------------Enemy | Piranha----------------Enemy || || Snow beast-----Enemy | Eel--------------------Enemy || || AT-AT----------Enemy | Icy spike--------------Trap || || AT-ST----------Enemy | Icy needle-------------Trap || || Pig------------Enemy | Mechanic spider--------Enemy || || Snow bear------Enemy | Speed biker------------Enemy || || Hedgehog-------Enemy | Flamer-----------------Trap || || Needle---------Trap | Ceiling----------------Trap || || Snow-flower----Enemy | Mine-------------------Trap || || Witch----------Enemy | Probe droid------------Enemy || || Spike----------Trap | Droid------------------Enemy || || Lava-----------Trap | Imperial white soldier-Enemy || || Rolling ball---Enemy | Imperial red soldier---Enemy || || Green slime----Enemy | White grenade-thrower--Enemy || || Big robot------Enemy | Rapid Ion droid--------Enemy || || White sniper---Enemy | Red grenade-thrower----Enemy || || Red sniper-----Enemy | Mechanic star-shooter--Enemy || ||Rollingplatform-Trap | Imperial spaceship-----Enemy || || Blue slime-----Enemy | Green flower-----------Enemy || || Red slime------Enemy | Sea-star---------------Enemy || || Brain----------Enemy | Strange brown wheel----Enemy || || Blue slime-----Enemy | Alien Wurm-------------Enemy || || Eagle----------Enemy | Tough Lizard-----------Enemy || || Big hag--------Enemy | Purple flying ball-----Enemy || || Block----------Trap | Darth Vader illusion---Enemy || || Green snore----Enemy | Red strange lizard-----Enemy || || Cloud soldier--Enemy | Ice canon--------------Trap || || Fire canon-----Trap | Lizard commander-------Enemy || || Slimy worm-----Enemy | Thin blue commander----Enemy || || Rocket---------Trap | Tough Rhino------------Enemy || || Crane----------Enemy | Blue catapult----------Enemy || ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here's the description of all of them: ------------------ Small snowball: ------------------ TRAP (White color). They come bouncing down from the mountains. They won't damage you much, so you really don't need to waste your time with them. You can make them even smaller by cutting it down. You won't get any hearts from these ones. EASY. Attacks: It just rolls down from the mountain. ---------------- Big snowball: ---------------- TRAP (White color). They are almost as the small snowballs, with the difference they are bigger, and harder to destroy. Sometimes when it comes rolling, it can be hard to avoid because of the size. But if you hide beneath a shelter(a shelf) it will roll on, without hitting ya. If you destroy it, you'll gain some small hearts, quite many actually. But it ain't worth trying, they take a lot of damage before destroyed. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Also rolls down from the mountain, but quicker and a lot bigger. ------- Bats: ------- ENEMIES (Grey color). Small grey bats flying inside the caves. They may seem friendly, but I detest 'em!! It's not that I hate bats, but they are really annoying in this game. First of all, they are many so they are hard to exterminate. Second of all, if you get freezed by an accident, "these small innocent creatures" can come pushing you into a gap, or on needles so you die immediately!!! That's the real reason I hate them. So watch out, if you're freezed, you better watch out for small bats. The diffcultness is higher because they can kill you easily when you're freezed, but they can't damage you. QUITE HARD. Attacks:Flies towards you, avoid or destroy it. ---------------- Snow beasts: ---------------- ENEMIES (White color). When I mentioned the name "Snow beast" I bet your first illusion was the growling white monsters that can freeze ya with its breath. Yeah, you were right!! The snowbeasts are those that look like some kinda Cave-monster, and they really snort. If you wanna defeat the snow beasts, I suggest you change to the pistol, and shoot them at distance. If you go near, you're vulnerable for the breath that can freeze, and if you're freezed, you are almost 100% killed. Either by a snow beast, or those "small innocent bats" I mentioned before. So sit comfortable at a shelf at far distance, shooting it down. I hope you have a strong weopon, cause I'd really hate to see ya fighting these monsters with a tiny gun that can't hurt them!!! When you killed the monster, a big heart will appear. Kinda nice huh! These beasts are tough to kill, they are dangerous, and hungry, so they are something to hate. But I can't deny that they are dangerous, so the comment is pretty natural... DANGEROUS. Attacks:Freeze you with its breath and then take you out by knocking you down on needles or either damaging you with his fists. -------- AT-AT's: -------- ENEMIES (Grey color, tough, big machines that are best killed with the wire). You'll fight the AT-AT's when you play the flight-sequence, as the snowspeeder. You can kill them with the blaster, but it will take years so use the wire. AT-AT's will leave a bunch of hearts when destroyed, so when it breaks down, take a second look and get the hearts. The AT-AT's aren't too hard to kill, if you use the wire. NORMAL. Attacks:Shoots lazer beams. -------- AT-ST's: -------- ENEMIES (Grey color, looks like the AT-AT's). They are almost the same as the AT-AT's, with the difference that these ones can only be killed with the beams, not with the wire. But you only need to hit 'em a few times, cause it is pretty weak. These imperial machines will also leave a few hearts, so take it if needed. You will fight an AT-St as an boss, playing as Han Solo once, when you face it where you should save Leia and get her to the Falcon. It's much more dangerous then, than it is when you face them with the Snow Speeder. That depends on that the snow speeder got more powerful weopons that Han does. So, look out for the boss, it's dangerous. Though, the AT-ST's at the snowspeeder stages are easy. NORMAL. Attacks: Also shoots lazer beams. ------ Pigs: ------ ENEMIES (Grey/white color and it snorts a lot). At the first snow-stages, there will be swines all over. You really need to cut your way through. Fortunately, they are easily killed. You just need to shoot them a few times, then they will die. They are no real threat, only disturbing. If you want to get your energy recovered, then check these pigs out, because they give up easily and deliver fresh small hearts all the time...they are great to earn energy from. EASY. Attacks: Running around, trying to touch and damage you. ------------ Snow bears: ------------ ENEMIES (White color). These creatures are the same as the swines, but with another head. Just kill 'em, they are nothing worth to notice. They are also great enemies to get the energy back at. But, they got a little bit better defense than the swines. But try it someday, they are good to earn energy on. EASY. Attacks: Also running around, trying to damage you. -------------- Snow-flowers: -------------- ENEMIES (White flowers). At the snow-stages, a blue/white flower will throw red balls at ya, so repel it or just kill the flower simply.(I prefer the last-mentioned method). But if you're low on energy, you should avoid fighting these flowers, because in almost every battle they hit at least one time. It's hard to avoid their attacks. Ok, it damages "muy poco"(very little) but if you're out of energy, that will maybe be enough to kill ya. Anyway, they are no real threat. QUITE EASY. Attacks:Throws red balls. ---------- Witches: ---------- ENEMIES (It wears a brown coat, and got a blue head). My hate object!!! They don't really look like witches, but it was the best description I could imagine. They are small, short creatures, almost human-looking with small blasters. You only face them as Chewbacca(when you get C3PO back again.) One hit is enough to defeat 'em. They should be no real threat, but thanx to another enemy at the stage, that can freeze ya down(Oh, I really hate to be frozen) they combine a deadly combo. The other enemy freezes you, and after that, these witches push you into the lava. And then you are dead. I don't know how many times this happened to me. I hate it!!! I want to spare you all this trouble, so I give you this advice that you better stay away, firing your gun far, far away, out of range for these "wonderful beings"!!! Then they have no chance. Ha!! Gotcha!!! ( I just love the feeling kicking 'em!). On their own, they are really easy, but if they co- operate with the freezer, they can be dangerous. QUITE HARD. Attacks: Pushes you down in lava. --------- Spike: --------- TRAP (Grey/blue/white/black). The diffcultness varys. Sometimes it is easy to fall down on it. But the spikes kill you a whole life as soon as you step on 'em, so be careful! Also, many enemies just love to push you down, so kill every enemy in sight when you have spikes around. QUITE HARD. Attacks: Waiting for you to fall down. ------- Lava: ------- TRAP (Orange color). If you step in the lava, you'll lose energy quickly, and after two secs, you're dead. So avoid it if you can(easier said than done). Be careful when there're enemies around, that can push you down into it. Remember, when you're frozen, the creatures just love to push you down, so kill everything around before heading any further. QUITE DANGEROUS. Attacks:If you fall down, you die quickly. ------------ Meteroids: ------------ ENEMIES (Black color). The meteroids are almost the same as the Probe droids, only that meteroids appear at the "platform-stages", not on the flight-sequences. When it comes down, it's orange, but the droids are black. You'll walking calmy, and suddenly a meteroid comes down from the blue sky. Immediately, a droid appears, and you have to do something. You run away, or kill it. My advice is that you run away quickly, cause the meteroids/droids are slow, they can't follow you a longer distance. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Shoots lazer beams. ------------------- Flying ice-birds: ------------------- ENEMIES (They are white/blue). Comes diving up from the snow, and then they dive back again. Another worthless enemy. Why, oh why did they put this enemy in the game? You want to know how to defeat it? Well......um...let me think....ah!! I got it!! Hit it with your blaster! I'm a genius! VERY EASY. Attacks:Trying to touch and damage you. ----------- Piranhas: ----------- ENEMIES (Orange/green color, live in water.) Whoa!!! Piranhas!!! Guess what they can do!!! They eat every inch of your body if you are too close. Ouch! They are also so drastic, that they jump up from the water, biting.But they can't hurt that much, so don't worry, be happy!!! They can be hard to hit, so I suggest you use the sabre(if you play as Luke) instead of the blaster, cause it is much easier to strike them with. NORMAL. Attacks: Bites and scales your whole body from your skin! ------- Eels: ------- ENEMIES (Green color.) "What have I done to get all fishes attacking me all the time?" The eel just love to produce electrical shocks. Don't be in the water then, cause the damage is grave. keep on land, and avoid the eels. But watch out, eels can jump and hit ya! Eels combinate their electrical shocks with other enemies. So, they really take advantage of situations when you're fighting other enemies, then they produce their electrical shock and damage you, while you're fighting something else. Kinda cowardly, huh! Well, I hate the eels. They are quite small, so they can also be hard to hit. Use the sabre instead of the blaster. If you get the opportunity, terminate all the eels(so they won't come back until you die) so you get rid off 'em. Then you don't need to worry about them anymore. NORMAL. Attacks: Electrical shock. ------------- Icy needle: ------------- TRAP (White color). Well, spikes are nothing else than spikes. It's up to you if you wanna commit suicide. If that's your goal in life, well then simply hit them!!! Eh....the spikes are fatal, as soon you step onto 'em, you'll die. So avoid it. Maybe I should say after 1 sec you are dead. The icy spikes kills a lot of energy, after a second your dead. But if your energy is full, you actually can survive! But it's not that common. The most usual type of dying is that you get frozen, and then something comes pushing you down on it. Anyway, just avoid the icy needles, they are nothing to play with. QUITE HARD. Attacks: Fall down and you die. ------------ Hedgehogs: ------------ ENEMIES (Green, with needles on the back.) Just ordinary enemies. They throw spikes at ya, but you can deflect the needles. The hedgehogs like to run around. A single hit on them and you don't need to worry any more... But be careful, if they found you frozen, they will automatically push you out of a gap or on some needles. EASY. Attacks: Throws spikes. ---------- Bridges: ---------- TRAPS (White). When you run on a bridge, it will start breaking down. Just run on, if you stop, you'll fall down...on what?!? Well, needles seem to be all over this game. But if you fall down, you're clumsy! It's easier than jumping from platform to platform. But maybe you will fall down once in a life time. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Fall down and you're dead. ------------------- Mechanic spiders: ------------------- ENEMIES (Grey/blue colored). When you leave the base for the snowspeeders, you'll face giant mechanic spiders. They shoot fire from the mouth(!). You can repel it back onto 'em(using the sabre) or just cut 'em down with your sword. The spiders are not so dangerous, but they can force you backwards, to flamers that damage a lot. So try to kill the spiders quickly. You can only find the mechanic spiders at the stage when the rebellion base collapses. They are not in another place in the whole game. NORMAL. Attacks: Firing flames. --------------- Speed bikers: --------------- ENEMIES (White and grey colored). You'll face the speed-bikers when you play the fly-sequences, and at a few times when you play as characters. You can destroy it. At the fly- sequences, you are forced to defeat em. of course, you'll gain some hearts when they are defeated, on the snow speeder sequence. Watch out so you don't crock with 'em, it will hurt.... NORMAL. Attacks: Blasting lazer beams. -------- Mines: -------- TRAPS (Red colored). The mines are only red, and often dropped by bikers, ships, etc. They are like a trap; if you step on them, they will disarm. But you won't be hurt fatal. And, you can shoot it down. So, no problemo! Wazzup bro! VERY EASY. Attacks: Explodes if you touch it. ---------- Flamers: ---------- (Green). TRAPS The flamers is a sort of trap. It is placed on the ground, and when you're near, it starts flaming fire. Then, if you are hit, you'll suffer great damage. Destroy the flamers by using the sword or just blast it. QUITE HARD. Attacks: Fire fire. ---------- Ceilings: ---------- (Blue/white). TRAPS The ceiling will drop onto ya, if you stand under it at stage 7. It won't hurt much, so you can be cool. You can either trick it by walking near and then run back when it falls, or just slide beneath it. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Drops down onto your head. -------------- Probe droids: -------------- ENEMIES (Black color with red stains). The Probe Droids appear somewhat over the whole game. Sometimes, like meteroids, sometimes like just droids, and sometimes at the stages. But they are playing a bigger role at the flying sequences. You must destroy 10 of them at the snow speeding sequence. They shoot laser but don't do something else. They are no threat, just destroy em, like you do with everything else. EASY. Attacks: Firing lazer beams. --------- Droids: --------- ENEMIES (Blue color, exists only on the cloud stages). These droids are pretty dangerous´. They are small, hard to hit, and got powerful weopons. Watch out for their rapid Ions, it kills a lot. My best advice to you when you see these, you better run or either shoot em down quickly(if you have a strong gun). Beware, they are dangerous! DANGEROUS. Attacks: Blasting powerful lazer. -------------------------- Imperial white soldiers: -------------------------- ENEMIES (White color, almost human looking. The typical imperial soldier.) They appear over the whole game. They are exactly as the red soldiers, very easy. Just blast them once and they won't be any more trouble. Good enemies to earn energy. If you're short on energy, look for these! VERY EASY. Attacks: Runs around, and also blasting bullets. ------------------------ Imperial red soldiers: ------------------------ ENEMIES (Red soldiers, looking the same as the white ones, with the difference that these are red.) They are the same as the white boys. VERY EASY. Attacks: The same as the previous enemy. ------------------- Rapid Ion droids: ------------------- ENEMIES (White and have a few orange stains. Flying.) These droids use some kinda jet motor to fly. Well, that isn't too impressive. Just pick 'em down from the air, with some bullets. Just beware of the Ion shots, it damages a lot. NORMAL. Attacks: Shoots powerful lazerbeams. ---------------- Rolling balls: ---------------- ENEMIES (Brown color). Brown balls, rolling along the floor. Suddenly, they start to jump and shoot shining stars(as the mechanic shooter). You can either repel the stars back, or strike them with your sword. A single hit would be enough. NORMAL. Attacks: Shoots stars. ---------------- White snipers: ---------------- ENEMIES (They are white). The white snipers are a few guys locate all over the game. They stand there, with their guns, shooting missiles that seek to you. Simply kill 'em by blast/strike 'em down. They are no threat, only if you're out of energy. They almost hit you as soon you see 'em, but the damage is nothing to worry about. SO, just destroy 'em. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Standing and firing seeking missiles at ya. -------------- Red snipers: -------------- ENEMIES (Whoa! They are red! What a surprise!). The red snipers is the same as the white ones, with another coulor. If you are too lazy to go back 15 lines, I tell you that they are no problem, and not worth to be spotted. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Shooting seeking missiles. ------------------------- White grenade-throwers: ------------------------- ENEMIES (Could they possibly be white?). Ordinary soldiers, but these ones are sitting down, protecting themselves with shields, and throw grenades. You can repel the grenade if you want, but that's not neccessary. Just go near, strike when he reveals a fatal point, and he'll die. These ones are sooo easy. EASY. Attacks: Throws grenades. ----------------------- Red grenade-throwers: ----------------------- ENEMIES (Red color). What?!? I just got a flashback(sort of "Deja-Vu")...didn't I read this before? No, it's the same sort as the white grenade-throwers, with another coulor. (If you don't understand a word of this, just look 20 lines up). EASY. Attacks: Also throws grenades. ------------------------ Mechanic star-shooters: ------------------------ ENEMIES (Grey/blue color). A sort of robot. It sits on the ground, waiting for you(yeah you) to appear. When it sees ya, the "head" will come up, start shooting stars. These stars are powerful, and you'll suffer great damage if you don't repel it back. When you repel it bacl(using the sabre) the stars will go back at the enemy(the mechanic star-shooter) and that will destroy the mechanic star-shooter. So, you better get your guard up(it will be a bigger problem when you fight 2 mechanic star-shooters at the same time). NORMAL. Attacks: Firing a lot of stars, quickly. ------------------- Rolling platforms: ------------------- TRAPS (They are grey). Sort of trap. It is located in the ceiling, swinging some sort of needles around. If you are hit, energy will decrease. Yes(to answer your question) you can kill it. Sit down and shoot up. Another alternative is to roll along the floor, away from it. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Swinging. ------------ Big robots: ------------ ENEMIES (White color). You will only meet the big robots once in the game(so be a good boy, and shake hands). They are big, and mean. They also use rapid Ions(now, that's unfair!). When you destroyed one, you'll gain a big heart(could be handy, they damage you a lot). If you just take it cool, got a good gun, these mightless robots got no chance. NORMAL. Attacks: Firing quite powerful lazers. ----------------------- Imperial space-ships: ----------------------- ENEMIES (Blue color). The imperial space-ships are those that you shoot down, playing as the Falcon. One single hit and they are history. But beware, they are quick, and you don't want them to disappear, then you have to wait in eons of years before they appear again. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Nothing. -------------- Green slimes: -------------- ENEMIES (Green colored). The green slime will appear thanx to the jungle monster(the boss) that throw up them, from his mouth. Yeah, he vomits em out! Kinda nice huh! Well, the slime isn't too hard to beat, if you can stand the smell... VERY EASY. Attacks: Nothing. ------------- Blue slimes: ------------- ENEMIES (Blue). In the jungle sequence, you will recognize these ones, if you look carefully. But there's nothing to see really. Just another enemy. They are almost the same as the green slime. VERY EASY. Attacks: Nothing. -------- Brains: -------- ENEMIES (Red and blue color). Just usual enemies, flying brains(!) that are killed in one hit. They will appear at the jungle-levels. They are great to use if you want to collect powering up items. VERY EASY. Attacks: Touch them and you'll die a little. --------------- Green flowers: --------------- ENEMIES (Green color. Surprised?). They are exactly as the blue ice flowers, scattering small red balls that hurt. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Also throwing small red balls. ------------ Sea-stars: ------------ ENEMIES (Yellow and blue). This is more like a blocking object than an enemy. When you try to go by, this small creature jumps up, blocking the way for a sec. Wait for it to come down, then pass by. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Obstacle. ------------- Alien wurms: ------------- ENEMIES (Blue, yellow and spitting yellow balls). The specie exists only on the jungle stages. It slides along the ground, spitting small yellow balls. So, it's up to you, you wanna kill it, or is it better to run away? I usually run away, it's quicker. I got no time to waste on them. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Spits yellow balls at you. --------------------- Red strange lizards: --------------------- ENEMIES (Red colored). Sometimes, when you are jamming in the jungles, red weird lizards may appear and snap their tail against ya. Watch out, it hurts! But the lizards don't appear often. Quite easy. Attacks: Snaps the tail at you. -------- Eagles: -------- ENEMIES (Brown color. Just exist at the jungle.) Have you seen a bigger bird than this one? It's at least 3 times bigger than Luke! Anyway, it won't make any harm, it just flies around, doing nothing. You can blast it if you want, but I don't see the point why. If you just leave it, it will fly out of the screen in no time. EASY. Attacks: Nothing. -------------- Tough rhinos: -------------- ENEMIES (Blue color. Got some kinda horns on the head.) Climbing rhinos. Sort of apes and rhinos in one body. They are very tough, and you have to shoot many plasma shots before they break down. If they were a little bit more aggressive, this species would be very dangerous. Their defense is so strong. It's like a panzar shield! I suggest you leave them, they take too much time to destroy and too much effort. It's not worth it. QUITE HARD. Attacks: Be careful, they jump around and if you touch them you lose energy. ------------- Slimy worms: ------------- ENEMIES (Yellow color.) Maybe only exist at one place in the whole game, at the jungle boss. It will appear when the big boss starts to throw em out. Then they start to crawl along the floor. So what? Who cares about some worms? Well, I don't know.... VERY EASY. Attacks: Nothing. -------------- Green snores: -------------- ENEMIES (Green) Green wurms/slime the jungle monster fling out. They die if you strike them once. VERY EASY. Attacks: Nothing. ---------------- Blue catapults: ---------------- ENEMIES (Blue colored). At the cloud city stages(when playing as a character, like Han Solo or Chewbacca) you'll meet some blue catapults that throw bombs at ya. Just pick your weopon up and blast them. They should be no problem. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Throws bombs. ------------------- Red cloud ships: ------------------- ENEMIES (Red ships). The red cloud ships will appear later in the game, when you reach the cloud city. You will be forced to defeat 15 of them at the cloud stage(when Luke races towards the cloud city, in his X-wing). You will also meet them sometimes as Han Solo on the cloud city stages, when they come flying down from the air, just to fire a lazer beam and then fly up. If you're quick then, you can always just blast them and gain a big heart they drop...(not bad huh! A big heart for no effort!). They are much easier on the non- flying sequences(playing as a character). NORMAL. Attacks: Blasting lazers. ------------------- Blue small droids: ------------------- ENEMIES (Blue, flying, small). Well, the blue small droids are definitely more dangerous than they look! These small innocent droids can really make a h*ll for you! Their rapid Ion's really hurt, so watch out! I suggest you destroy them fast, before they start shooting. Fortunately, their defense ain't that strong as their weopons.... Dangerous. Attacks: Shoots lazer beams. ----------------- Cloud soldiers: ----------------- ENEMIES (Just exist on the Cloud stages, where Lando Calrissian rules. They are green with a yellow suit.) The cloud soldiers often appear from doors, coming out, shooting some kinda bullet that scatters in 3 parts. A few shots and the cloud soldiers are destroyed. As the imperial soldiers, these ones are perfect to use to recover your energy. But, they are not hard. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Shoots bullets. ---------------------- Strange brown wheels: ---------------------- ENEMIES (Brown). At the cloud stage, some kinda wheel may appear. They are not so dangerous, so just go on and kill them. EASY. Attacks: Nothing. ------------------- Lizard commanders: ------------------- ENEMIES (Green, dressed in a yellow suit). The lizard commanders are big lizards on two legs, they come into the screen hopping, wearing a yellow suit. They can also throw surf-boards, that fly you away...The Lizard commanders got no powerful weopons, but a tough defense. Try to kill these ones with the weak lazer gun Luke starts with, it will take you a while!!! Well, it takes a while to kill 'em, even if you use the plasma gun(the strongest blaster in the game). Just shoot on until they are destroyed. Thanks to their armor, they survive quite long, but they are no threat, since they can't hurt you.... Quite Easy. Attacks: Might slap you in the face. ------- Wall: ------- TRAP (Brown, wall). A wall blocking the journey. You must wait until it opens, before you can enter. The only problem is the gun blasting behind me. Don't worry, the gate will open in a few seconds. Actually, this wall can kill. If you're beneath the wall when it closes, you'll be damaged. Unfair! It can kill you, but you can't! # (I can't say how hard this trap is, it's just blocking the way for a few seconds.) Attacks: None. ---------- Big hags: ---------- ENEMIES (Ugly, trashed clothes, carrying a chrystal ball). Oh no!!! Your worst teacher is back again! And this time, she won't forgive any forgotten homeworks!! Oh sorry...(guess all teachers will mailbomb me now) Well, this hag(yeah, it really is a hag, a witch) carries a chrystal ball, and wears a brown coat. Suddenly, the whole creature starts to jump around, quickly and without hesitations. This happens on the moon city-stage, where you play as Chewie, trying to get up at a high pillar, where a hag's standing.... (If you don't understand a thing here, you'll know later what I'm talking about, when you reach the moon stage as Chewie, you can't miss it!) Help!!! I get pushed out of the platform!-is your first impression and you're one life less. Yeah, I know that sequence, trust me!(I experienced it often). Often when you face this creature-looking hag you play as Chewie and standing on a pillar, when this enemy starts to jump around. The platform will go down and you'll get pushed off the pillar, down in the gap. So how is this evaded? Well, there is no safe way, but a good way to stay alive is to do this: At the first sec you see the enemy, start blasting it with your blaster. As soon as you hear that strange noise(before the creature starts to jump around) you should get ready for some rock n' roll. Stand waiting for the creature to appear, and when it comes, use the spin(a-button). It's important you got the whole meter loaded, you'll need as much as you can. Now, why was this so good? Well, as long as Chewie spins around, he won't be pushed away from the pillar! And when you stop to spin, you must live the last seconds until the creature drops to the ground. When it's down, start walking toward it(don't mind that it shoots you full of bullets. You're a wookie, wookies can take that) and fire your gun. Shoot, shoot, shoot until it gives. Pick up the big heart before it drops down and go up again. Now, if the creature is back, repeat this again. In the worst case, you have to do this 4 times, until the whole Hag population is terminated. Then you are free to jump up again. Another easier way to defeat this monster is to use a detonator....but then you must have the luck to gain one... If you get a detonator, you're lucky! But don't be stunned then! Run quickly all the way until you meet the monster and then use the detonator. Yes! You finished the monster, without doing all that complicated and hard effort! Well, you were lucky! VERY DANGEROUS. Attacks: Read above. ---------------------- Thin blue commanders: ---------------------- ENEMIES (Blue, tall, thin). Looks like a toy. They are very thin and walk around with a hat. I can't imagine, where/why/when did the producers made this enemy? I mean, it is not even anything star wars looking! Anyway, the blue commanders are tough, they can take a lot of damage before they break down. You gotta shoot, shoot and shoot. Luckily, they are not offensive. The only weopon they got is their gun that shoots freezing bullets. If you are hit, you'll be frozen for a few secs. The thin blue commanders can be really dangerous if they team up with other enemies. Because if you're hit, the other enemies will kill you quickly. You can't defend yourself when you're frozen! That's why the blue commanders can be dangerous, if they team up with others. But if they fight on their own, they are no problemo!! NORMAL. Attacks: Freezing you, then starts blasting you with another gun. --------------------- Purple flying balls: --------------------- ENEMIES (Purple, pink flying balls that rarely open up.) I hate this enemy!! This enemy sort is one of the hardest in the game. they will cause you more trouble than all bosses in the game will.... There are some kinda mechanic purple balls flying around in the air, dropping lava! How are they defeated? Well, these enemies are like hedgehogs, they never open the shell.... My best advice to you is run, run, run(run forrest, run!) when you see 'em. They will drop lava, that are almost impossible to avoid. And that lava damages a lot! Since the balls are so hard to hit, there's no point in trying to kill 'em. As I said , run away! VERY EASY. Attacks: Drops lava down at ya. --------- Rockets: --------- TRAPS (missiles, white color). Just some missiles that will be fired by some mechanic thing in the ceiling. Just avoid the missile, and live free... There's no chance in destroying it, just avoid it and go on. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Missiles. --------- Cranes: --------- ENEMIES (Red, big, clinging in the ceiling). There are only cranes at the carbonate stage where Han Solo will be frozen. The cranes are tough, they can take several shots, but when it breaks down, the effort is well paid off; many many small hearts drop out. The cranes can only lift you up, and maybe crush you a bit(you'll be damaged) but they can't shoot or do anything else. So they are not so dangerous. As I said, very good to recover your energy with. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Grabs you. ------------- Fire cranes: ------------- TRAPS (red, looks almost like a weight) In the background, there are some kinda trap, almost as the flamers(if you remember them from the stage where you fought the mechanic spiders) but these are much bigger and fire more flames. You have no chance at all to destroy them, so I suggest you avoid it. Run away!! NORMAL. Attacks: Fires fire. ------------- Ice canons: ------------- ENEMIES (Red, glued to the walls). The ice canons are those, glued to the walls that freeze you. It won't hurt ya, but you'll be paralyzed for a few secs. But this can be unpleasant because if another enemy sees a chance killing you, you will be chanceless. You can't defend yourself. So whenever there are ice canons around, make sure there are no other enemies around. Also, when you try to do a leap, these wil freeze you down and you'll stop, right in the air and drop down. So be careful! Also, when you are frozen, enemies just love to attack and push you down in a gap...(they see their chance when you can't defend yourself). NORMAL. Attacks: Freezes ya. ----------------------- Darth Vader illusions: ----------------------- ENEMIES/MIDDLEBOSSES (Black, looks like Darth Vader). The Darth Illusions are the same as Darth Vader himself, but weaker. They will disappear after a few hits. They won't summon any blocks either. You meet the Darth Vader illusions a few times, before toy face Darth Vader himself, like some kinda prepare for the real boss... QUITE HARD. Attacks: Swinging the lazer sword, trying to get ya. -------- Blocks: -------- TRAPS (Grey, flying). The blocks are those that Vader summons. They can hurt, but if you destroy them, you can find power-up items(such as force powerup etc.) They are only good, because then you'll gain some force powerup and can heal your wounds with the heal spell. When the blocks come, you can only thank the old Vader. But don't underestimate the blocks. They don't always give force powerup, and they actually can hurt. So if you're short of energy, the blocks will be hard to avoid. QUITE EASY. Attacks: Touch you and then you lose energy. (That was all enemies! Puh! I didn't think they were so many!!!) o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o F: Bossez: o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o Well, I bet ya heard me said in the walkthrough for info about the bosses in the boss section. Well, you found it here my man! If you need any help, this should be the place!!! I can't say it will help you clear the boss, but it will give you some nice info and tips. I also rated the bosses, to tell ya how hard they are(in my opinion). Notice!!! The avarage score of diffcultness is only compared to each other, not to other games. And the score of diffcultness don't get higher just that this is such a hard game. These are all the bosses in the game(a list on all the bosses as usual, I always do this in my faqs.

I divided it in three parts for each single boss you fight. The first part are a few short lines that say if it is a middleboss(a little easier kind of boss you find somewhere in the middle of the stage, not the final boss) or a Boss(definitely a boss) and the name I call it. That's the first part. The second part is the description. At the description section, I wrote some info how the beast/monster/droid/boss(whatever you want to call it) looks like, where it is located, which character you fight it with, and info, etc. In the third part, there's the strategy/help. There you find advices, tactics, etc. Ok, enjoy! And remember, questions, anything, lufia3@hotmail.com is a nice adress to mail to.... **************** Boss 1 Stage 3 **************** ================== The cave-monster ================== BOSS +++++++++++++ Description: +++++++++++++ A big snowmonster, that comes laughing from the ceiling. It is grey and has red eyes. The first one you'll face, and it's ugly... """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" This boss is easy. You really don't need a tactic, but if you're not that experienced with tv-games, or you just have a problem with it, here is a tactic. The major attacks it has is his fists and the breathing. The breathing will freeze you, but that's no real threat, because as soon you're frozen, the huge monster will start to laugh and you'll wake up. His fists can damage you, but not enough to be a threat. The only thing you really got to do is either use the sabre, jumping from one side to the other, using the double-jumping technique. Then the sword will hit him. Just keep continue doing this, and the monster will die. Another quicker way is to use the blaster. (But do only this if you have a strong one, like the rapid Ion or the plasma gun.) Stand on one side of the monster. Wait for his fist to appear. Jump over to the side it was at, and then bend down, target the boss, and fire your gun. You won't have much time, but the boss will be hurt. Do this over and over, and the monster will be defeated. 3.0/10 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ******************* Boss 2 Stage 6 ******************* Middle boss =================== Big droid(sentry) =================== (Just a small note: Now I wrote this like if you were playing on Jedi. It isn't no difference in the tactics and the description, but I wrote it like if you were playing on Jedi because then everything matters much more. Every detail can be important. A small miss can make you die easily...) ++++++++++++++ Description: ++++++++++++++ Yeah, somewhere at the snow stage, where you're running for your life, a big droid will appear. It is grey with red lamps. It also has long arms and tentacles around its body. When you ever hit one of the arms, splinter will come out. This is more like a middleboss, but it's even pretty tough on Jedi. After you've defeaten this one, you'll face another big droid, but that one will be even bigger, giant. It's the same type. This boss is the meteroid Luke is about to check out. It's exactly the same as Han Solo and Chewbacca check out in the movie, in the beginning. It's a sentry-droid, if you know what I mean, the empire sent 'em out to look for the rebellion base, and now you must face it..... """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Well, there really is no main strategy, but I can tell you a few advices: ¤ Be careful, the droid will decrease your energy meter quickly if you are hit. Watch out for each attack, cause it will hurt you a lot. (That's a main tips, just try to avoid all his attacks as good as you can). ¤ Buckle up with good weopons(plasma gun) and maybe some health swords so your energy meter will be longer(so you can take more hits). Buckle up with all good things, you gonna need it. ¤ Use the gun only if you got the plasma gun or the rapid Ion. The others are too weak to damage the droid enough. If you have the seeker or an even weaker blaster, I suggest you use the sabre. The advantage using the sabre are these: If you use the sabre, you can deflect many of the droids attacks. You can deflect the spinters, and you can protect yourself from bullets and the droid itself. The sabre is also stronger than most guns(except rapid Ion and plasma gun) and will damage the droid more. ¤ Don't move around too much, try to stay cool and strike the robot with your sabre(if you not use the blaster) and repel all splinters and bullets. If you move around, you'll cause trouble, because the droid will follow you and you won't get to a save place, plus you don't get the time to hit it. Either way you use the sabre or the blaster, you must be careful because you will be damaged, and you won't have too much energy left, after you defeated the boss. And after you defeated the boss, you must head on, to the next boss....but before then, recover some of your energy by killing some enemies(more about this in the walkthrough) Rated: 8.1/10 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Boss 3 ============= Giant droid ============= BOSS ++++++++++++++ Description: ++++++++++++++ Yeah, this one is like the other one you fought, but this one is bigger and this one got better defense and a lot more energy. Though, I find this one easier(but not easy, it's definitely hard) because at this one, you have much more space to move on(the other boss was so near, you had no space to move on and avoid attacks) but at this one, you do. Well, the boss is big(already told ya that) and blue. It will swim around under the water, luring for you to get your guard down. Then suddenly, it will smash up from the water and attack! So, keep your guard up, and be ready. The only problem with this place you're fighting in, is the platforms. They always sink and you'll fall down, and if you're not quick and move up, you die. So, don't sink down too low. Also, in the environment there will be eels swimming the water. These might create problems with their electrical shock, as you are down in the water. I suggest you kill the eels before you head on to the boss. (You get more info about that later, just read on). I really recommend you to kill the eels at a safe place before entering the boss place!! """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Actually, I think this one is easier than the other. But don't expect it to be easy! Ok, here we go: You have a gun with at least strength to the seeker? Good. Ok, then use that gun. I hope you killed all those annoying eels? Good. Ok, now when all the eels are gone, just "swim"(sink) under the water and start shooting the droid. When it flies up, don't do anything drastic, let it shoot the stars and then jump up to take a breath. Now, while you do this, don't let yourself down too low in the water, because then you might drown, and that is not exactly your goal. If you see you are very low down, jump up a bit. You must time it when the droid shoots the stars, and while you sink. Try to time it. Also, you must have some status about where the droid is before you start to dive into the water, because if he is right beneath ya, then you will get damaged. Control this by pressing "L"or "R" to check where the monster is. And remember, always be careful. You don't have a gun with power as the seeker or more? Ok, I see. Then you are in trouble. But you can make it if you're that skillful as I am(Oh what I'm boasting! :) Well, you do have a small problem now. Because you don't have no gun(no good gun) you will get a problem to hit the monster. The sword won't reach it, and you can't shoot him at distance. Well, when we have to do it another way. The tactic now(and I really hope you killed those annoying eels, or you'll be dead buddy. Those eels are really a mess if you didn't kill them.) is that you must stand on a platform near to the boss(you check where he is by pressing "L") and when it flies up(of course you can't stand too near, because you just get hurt) you must use your sabre by deflecting the shining stars it throws. Now, if you timed it right, and is a little lucky, the stars will repel at the boss, and it will be damaged. So, now you see the tactic!!!! Yes, it will take time. And it will be frustating. And it will be difficult. But that's the only way without a good blaster. And don't dare trying to go close to the machine, cause it will only fly up and hit ya. While you repel those shining stars, be careful so you don't get too low down in the water(the platforms sink) so you die. Well, good luck!

This part is not existing in the movie. The canons will shoot rapid Ions at ya. ---------- TACTICS: ---------- All you have to do is repelling the rapid Ions back on the canons. Simple huh! -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- BOSS 5 =================== The imperial ship =================== +++++++++++++ Description: +++++++++++++ You face the imperial Ship when you try to get to the falcon, when the rebellion base collapses. You play as Han Solo. The ship got two swingers that swings around at the bottom of the ship, and there are some canons shooting rapid Ions. There are several targets to hit. You must destroy all of the targets before the ship recieves any damage on the energy meter. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Well, this ship is hard to defeat. Please tell me you were so wise that you kept a nice gun, and much energy when you entered this boss.... Thank goodness! Ok, here's how to beat the boss... As soon as you see the ship entering the screen, start rolling down on the floor to the right side of the screen. By doing this, you avoid the rolling platforms attack and can get safe to the other side. When you're there, start shooting at the ship. Target the rapid Ion canons first, because they are the ones that hurt most. After you destroyed them, take the rolling platforms. They can also hurt. And after that, shoot the front side of the ship. And after that, you can shoot wherever you want, the ship's energy will decrease since the "barrier" is gone. If you have a seeker or a better gun, the boss would be no problem(remember all bosses are hard in this game, but this time I compared this boss to the others) but if you have the flamer I suggest you use the grenades instead. They are easier to hit with, plus the damage is harder. Rated: 8.4/10 ======= A2 ST ======= BOSS 6 ++++++++++++++ Description: ++++++++++++++ When you play as Han Solo, you face the A2-ST where the rebellion base collapses, after you've run around looking for Leia. The AT-ST is huge and shoots rapid Ion beams that hurt a lot. You better watch out for it! """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Ok, I hope you buckled up with strong weopons and a long health sword(you have much in energy) because this boss is mighty. And you know what, even if this surprise you, I hope you buckled up with grenades. Yes, grenades! I know you think they are worthless, but they are good to have at this boss. If you have a gun lighter than the rapid Ions(if you have the rapid Ions or the plasma gun, that's just fine, but if you don't have that type of gun) you better use those grenades. Without using it you're dead. Ok, tactics, tactics, tactics: As soon as you step into the room and see the AT-ST, run quickly toward it and when it jumps, go behind it. Now, start shooting in the air to the right side(not far away from where the boss was) andyou will find a hidden shield here. Oh, thank goodness! Now you are protected for a while. Go back and destroy the ATST while the shields protect you. If you can't hit the boss with your gun, use the grenades. So, you beaten the boss? Well, then you go to the right and meet Leia.....

Oh, I wouldn't like to face that monster! Well, you have ta fight in the game(thank goodness not in reality). And of course it appears in the jungle. Notice!!! Right before you face the boss is the place where the spells are located. Check walkthrough for further information. I hope you gained the spell "Heal" cause it is handy at this boss. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" The best way of defeating the swamp monster is to use the sabre. Jump with the double jump(that way you know when the sabre swings around your body, press B twice) through his body, over the mouth and land on the other side. Now, the jungle monsters eyes(and whatever it is, you name it) will be hurt. Continue doing this, repeat, repeat and repeat until body parts are falling off. When all body parts are off, the monster will finally be damaged of your attacks. Until then, try to keep cool, avoid the mouth and all the strange creatures he is spitting out, and heal yourself with the spell. Hopefully you'll make it. Probably you will, just make sure you are full on energy and force meter when you enter the boss. I don't think using the gun at the boss is a very clever idea, cause it won't be damaged that much, plus there is no way to avoid his slimy attacks. Rated: 7.2/10 ============ Boba Fett ============ ++++++++++++++ Description: ++++++++++++++ Boba Fett is the bounty hunter that follows and caught Han Solo with the empire. He is in fact easy to defeat, a few fists of that "walking carpet"(Chewbacca) and he is near to cry. Another nice thing with Boba Fett is when you defeat him, he will leave several big hearts. Sweet! I'm not sure but maybe he likes you.... Well, when you see he is low on energy, let him fly to the right side as long as possible, and then defeat him because then you'll get more hearts. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Boba Fett is pretty easy. A few methods to defeat him is to use your blaster and/or using the spin attack. You don't know how to use the spin attack? Well, just simply hold the A-button and you'll see Chewie spin around... Tactics: Immediately when you see Boba coming in, shoot him with your blaster. Watch out for his rapid Ions, oh they hurt!!! When he comes down, start spinning(press A-button) and strike him. He will suffer great damage. Then, either he freezes you or fly up again. If he fly up, you're lucky. Just stand there and shoot some more missiles with your blaster(it's like shooting flies in the air, don't you think?) and wait for your spin meter to increase. When the dude comes down again, go for another round with that spin attack. If Boba freezes ya, you have nothing to do, or more exactly, you can't do anything. Wait for his attacks to end, and then attack him with your methods. Advice: If Boba gets too far away when he lands, I suggest you slide away from him to the other wing of the place, so you don't see him, because then you avoid his dangerous attacks, they are nothing to play with! Ok, I know you won't hit him then, but it's better to run away, waiting for a good moment and then win the battle, than end up like a french fry. Isn't it? Well, anyway, slide away if you're too far away, because the attacks are dangerous. If you win the battle, Boba will fly out and leave several big hearts. Pick them up and go for the next boss....

No it wasn't. The game surely wants to test you, so you have to beat another boss again. This time it's a ship that tries to flee when you come.(You guys that've seen the movie knows that Han Solo is kept inside). The ship looks weirdly with two canons shooting rapid Ions at the sides. And of course, you are still that shaggy bear.... The ship that will take Han Solo to the empire is right about to leave when you get there. The ship is armored by Rapid Ion guns, and it looks weirdly. You fight as Chewie. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" Use your spin-attack. Without it, the stuff will be really hard. As soon as you get a chance to use it(the space ship must be as low as you can hit it) use the spin attack. If you can't use the spin attack(if the ship is too high up, or if your spin energy-meter is empty, you must use your blaster) But try to use the spin attack as much as you can. It will help you. After, go to the right and meet Leia. Rated: 7.6/10 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Boss 9 BOSS ================ Witch Machine ================ +++++++++++++++ Description: +++++++++++++++ How you doin! Ready 2 rumble? Ok, good. You need it for this boss. This is no trip on roses exactly, this boss is super mega hard(and I would guess even harder on Jedi, I never came this far on Jedi, only on brave. Hey, stop laughing! You don't know how hard this game really is!). Anyway, you're about to fight a real hard boss, and you face it as Chewie playing at the toy factory searching for C3-PO. Just to make matters worse, you will have a few lazershooting machines above your head, including the boss. And if you're really unlucky, you may have 3 enemies also. But that doesn't happen often. Anyway, the witch machine is red and inside the ship sits a witch, controlling and trying to defeat ya. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" READ CAREFULLY, YOU WILL NEED IT!!!! Ok, it's time to prove how good you really are on tv-games. And here you have a challenge. First, don't give up if you can't make it. I know it's hard, but you should be able to defeat it. I hope you buckled up with the strongest stuff you can have, cause you gonna need it. Tactic: (There is no real tactic, just some info how to defeat it easiest). As soon as you step in, jump to a pillar in the middle. You see some disturbing lazerbeam shooting machines in the ceiling. If you have the time(like when the ship is gone, or if it runs away) try to shoot these down. But concentrate on the ship. As soon as you see the ship, shoot!!! Shoot until you recognize that the platform is almost down in the lava(you know, the platforms sink). Then you must jump up so the platform can rise to the surface again. This will take time and make the boss even harder. Don't try to stand in the lava, you'll die almost immediately. Jump up and stand and shoot, jump up, stand and shoot and repeat until the ship is wrecked. If it runs away, try to avoid the lazerbeams coming from the ceiling. When you shot the ship enough, it will split into a new one, but smaller. You must defeat this one also. Shoot desperately until it dies. Now, you should be very very short of energy, and maybe one single hit could kill you now. If that happens, you have to try all the stage again(from the boss) and that won't be fun if you came this far. I suggest you don't panic and try to jump to the right, without being hit by the lazers or touching the lava. If you do, you are dead. You'll find C3-PO over there. Just jump over to him and the stage is cleared. Rated: 10/10(I don't know how hard it is on Jedi, but I bet it is hard). -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Boss 10 ======================= The carbonate freezer ======================= BOSS ++++++++++++++ Description: ++++++++++++++ A HUGE machine that I think is that one that freezes Han Solo in the movie. It's yellow and red, with firing blasters and freezing abilities. Buckle up with good stuff, you gonna need it. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" When you enter the room, make sure you have the rapid Ion or something stronger(the plasma gun). Then you can sit down in one corner and shoot the boss. His energy will decrease quicker than yours and it will die before you do. Just sit in the corner, shooting the machine full of bullets. But if you have a weopon lighter than the rapid Ion(the seeker, or something else) this won't work. I promise, you'll end up dead. Now, don't panic. There's no chance in jumping around, trying to evade all the attacks, cause you will be hit in any way you try. Instead, use the grenades if you have any. Oh, you don't have any grenades? Hm...I see. Trouble. Ok, I'll tell ya a little tip: There is a way to defeat this boss very easily. You see the place that freezes Han Solo on the bottom of the machine. Stand with Han there, make sure he is frozen, and then you won't be hit. When he wakes up, start blasting the boss. Then you get frozen again after a while. But you won't be damaged if you're standing in the right place. If you are damaged, you do something wrong. Then you must figure out and discover where to stand. There is a little gap to the right, right when you enter the place. Drop down there and test. After a few attemps, if you find the right spot, you are saved. Just wait until you are ready to shoot again, and then blast the machine. Keep doing this until it dies. If you find the right place, the whole boss is really easy.

The illusion is black and identic to the real Darth Vader. You only find it on the last few stages. """"""""""" Strategy: """"""""""" You don't really need any tactics, just make sure to deflect Darth's sabre and then hit back when he lowers his guard. But be careful, his sabre hurts!

I don't know how hard he is on Jedi(never came that far) but I guess I'd be able to defeat him, because he isn't so hard as the other bosses on Brave mode(normal mode). Anyway, Darth Vader isn't that hard to defeat. He's black and carries a red light sabre. """""""""" Strategy: """""""""" As you can see, Darth seems exactly to be as the darth illusions. But there is one change; the real one will summon blocks that crock with you, decreasing your energy. How to defeat him: Deflect his sabre until he stops striking. Then hit back. You see that his energy decreases. Equip the healing spell. Don't use it 4until you are that short of energy that one force using will recover all the energy. Keep deflecting his sabre(he can't hit ya while guarding yourself with the sword) and then strike back. Repeat this, time after time. After a while, Darth will summon blocks. Then you jump around with the double jump(Luke swinging his sword around his body) and this will break every block. Then it might fall out force powerup items. Get them if you are short of energy. This is the tip about how to survive. Use the force to recover your energy, and then get new force powerup by destroying blocks. And when he stops summoning blocks, deflect the sabre, and then strike back when he stops. So, repeat this until he dies. You shouldn't have no real problems. Just use the heal spell and gain the force powerups from the blocks and you'll make it. Rated: 7.2/10 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ That was all bosses! Ah!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! G: Special tricks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Special tricks and hints in the game that may be needed/not needed.) ----------------------- 1. The double-jumping ----------------------- This technique is required to get past some gaps in the game. If you jump twice, you will get much longer. It's the same technique as in Donkey Kong Country, you jump and then you press the B-button again. The character will jump twice. ---------------- 2. Passwords ---------------- Passwords could be great if you really have a problem with any stage, and want to come further in the game. They can also be lovely if you hate the first levels, and don't wanna waste your time with playing them, when you can play more entertaining levels. And to me, passwords were lovely because it made I could defeat Darth Vader without playing the whole game again, so I could write down all text afterwards. Without passwords, it would take me a lifetime. Anyway, passwords could be good to have, here are some! ___________________________________________________________________________ Password to Stage 7, the factory when the rebell base is about to collapse, you play as Luke. ___________________________________________________________________________ LQYSCH(Jedi) ________________________________________ Password to Stage 10, inside the ATAT ________________________________________ LLJFBG(Easy) _________________________________________ Password to Stage 15, the first jungle _________________________________________ GLTTDJ _______________________________________________________ Password to Stage 16, the second jungle, Yoda's home _______________________________________________________ GJBHNF _________________________________________ Password to Stage 19, the crane stage _________________________________________ NGMSJB ________________________________________________________________ Password to Stage 20, the Cloud city where you play as Chewie ________________________________________________________________ RLMSWJ _________________________________________________________________________ Password to Stage 21, when Luke races in his X-wing towards Cloud City _________________________________________________________________________ MBRCGB __________________________________________________________________________ Password to Stage 22, the first place Darth Vader is located. This is the code that can take you longest. There is no other code that can make it possible to skip more stages. (The ultimate code). __________________________________________________________________________ SWPMSS """"""""""""""""" 3. Extra lives """"""""""""""""" At stage 2, there is a way to earn lives. From the start, just go right until you reach a huge gap. If you fall down, you'll land on some needles. But, there's also a way to earn lives here. If you fall down, and then immediately fall to right(direct your character to the right wing) you'll land on some invisible platforms, that will save your life. Now, if you start discovering this place, you'll find some powerup-items. This is a way to earn lives if you want. Just get the lives(must be at least 3 lives, 1 health sword, 1 blaster to get)and then you just kill yourself by falling on the needles. Then, you'll die and restart the level. Then you go to the same place again, fall down, move right, land on the invisible platforms and take the lives, and then repeat the whole thing again. By doing this, you'll gain three lives and die one each time you do it. Of course, it's your choice if you want to earn your lives this way. But it's definitely the best place earning lives in the game.

Everything is exactly as the sequences. It's exactly the same words and everything. It took me MUCH time to write down everything on paper first, because the text goes so quickly it's hard to write everything down, and then I have to clear the stage again! And sometimes one more time, and so on. Ok, the text doesn't scroll fast, but quick enough. I would never ever write down every text in a RPG-game, that's a game based on the text. There you can read the text whenever you want. But in a platform game like this, the text will not be repeated, and if you wanna check the text again, like if you missed it or something, you won't get a second chance. That's why I wrote this text section. So if you missed it, or just want to check the text again, here it is. Ok, enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------ After stage 2, when Luke wants to check out the meteroid: ------------------------------------------------------------ "-Echo three to echo base come in.

Where are you?" ---------------------------------------------- After you cleared stage 15 and find R-2-D2: ---------------------------------------------- "-Artoo! There you are. Are you alright? Next time be more careful! Now all we have to do is find this Yoda." --------------------------------------- After stage 16, when you find Yoda: --------------------------------------- "-You wish to become a jedi!I have trained Jedi for eight hundred years. To become a Jedi, takes the deepest commitment, patience and the most serious mind. A Jedi's strengh flows from the force. You must feel the force around you everywhere. Life creates it and make it grow. It's energy surrounds and binds us. Do or do not. There is no try." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- After Stage 17, Deep into Amazonas, when you defeated the slimy boss: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "-Han, I thought you knew this Lando. -That was a long time ago. I'm sure he's forgotten by now." ------------------------------------------------------------ After stage 19, after you defeated the carbonate freezer: ------------------------------------------------------------ "-This Carbon freezing facility is crude. But it suits our needs. The test is on Solo if he proves it. He is still alive, encased in carbonite and in perfect Hibernation. Solo is all yours, bounty hunter! You may take him to Jabba the Hut.

"Luke, you must complete the training. You must not go. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight with the force as his ally, will conquer Vader and the emperor. Have patience. If you choose the easy and quick path-as Vader did- you will become an evil agent. Be patient. Don't give into hate. That leads to the dark side. Strong is Vader.

You have escaped from the clutchers of the empire with your friends princess Leia, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2 and C3-PO.

Very easy is soooooo easy and Very difficult is almost impossible. It's so hard you can't imagine! I promise!

I don't know if it changes the world anyway... <"""""""""""""""""""""""""> STAGE 1: The beginning <"""""""""""""""""""""""""> ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Well, this game seems to be pretty boring. White, snowy, snorting enemies all the way. You can almost feel the cold. Keep your head up, the game will get better later. This is the first stage. You'll play as Luke. The first stage is very short, you only need to climb a small mountain/cliff and you're at stage 2. It's time you learn to live with all this snow, you'll be caught up in this place for a long, long while now..... VERY EASY. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Alien birds, Big snowballs, Small snowballs and maybe a few pigs. ,"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", STAGE 2: Checking the meteroid ,"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, On the contrary to stage 1, this one is long. You start as Luke, riding the Tauntaun. As I said, there is snow everywhere. Basically the whole stage is about that you must ride all the way to the right and then enter the cave that comes up. The stage is full of enemies and traps. And many of them are pit traps where you fall down from a bridge or something else. If you're searching for blaster-power, this stage is a good one to look at. Shoot all enemies you see, and you'll get rewarded by at least one blaster. Normal. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Pigs, Meteroids, gaps, needles, ice needles, white flowers, snowballs, alien birds, flying ice birds. |"""""""""""""""""""""""""| STAGE 3: First Ice cave |"""""""""""""""""""""""""| ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Welcome to the ice cave!! Is it cold in here? Or is a snow monster briefing just behind ya? No surprise. I hate these stages. When you play at this stage, the whole thing is about trying to stay cool. And I mean stay cool. If you start to jump around, recklessy, you soon get killed. There are needles and enemies all over the place, and you better equip yourself with a strong blaster and tough shields to survive. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Snow monsters, ice needles, bats, gaps, pigs, ice bears. -""""""""""""""""""""""""""- STAGE 4: Ice planet Hoth -""""""""""""""""""""""""""- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ah! Finally out of that terrible cave! Brief some fresh air and relax for now, no more snow beasts. So, jump up on the tauntaun you find and ride until you reach the next cave(No! Not more caves!). Go all the way to the right and you find the entrance. Have a lovely trip :( ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Meteroids, bridges, needles, pigs, flying ice birds, gaps. ~""""""""""""""""""""""~ STAGE 5: Second cave ~""""""""""""""""""""""~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ok, welcome back. Just to make matters worse, this stage is even harder than the other cave. Buckle up with strong blasters and try to survive. Oh man! I'm sick of these caves!-you might say. Well, you don't know how I feel. Imagine making a faq for this game. How many times do you think I've been through this stages? Ok, let's stop the complaining right here. You have a pretty long stage to go through, and I hope you do your best. The stage is very hard, cause there are many many snowmonsters that freeze you. And there are gaps all over the place that only wait for you to fall down. Well, you find out for yourself, the stage is really hard!! VERY HARD!!! ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Snow monsters, ice needles, gaps, needles, bats, pigs, snow flowers, snow bears. ^""""""""""""""""""""^ STAGE 6: Snowstorm ^""""""""""""""""""""^ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You're out of the cave again, and I'm sure you feel tempted to turn off the SNES by now, playing another game. No! Keep playing and see if the game is better, later. Well, at least it can't get worse :( . Go right all the way, jump over some platforms, play the bonus game(when you ride an ice block, catching score) and fight the two bosses(one middleboss and one bigger droid) and you cleared it. Watch out for those bosses, they are hard!!

Luke is a pilot, so he runs to his ship. But along the way, there are several enemies that block the way, and you have to go through...Don't worry, this stage is one of the easiest in the game. There are only a few spiders double your size, lazershooting droids everywhere, and a few mines scattered over the stage.

You drive a snowspeeder(sort of ship) in a sort of 3D way, with enemies to blast. Yeah! At least it's better than being defeated by snowmonsters all the time....(you that came this far knows what I'm talking about). HARD!!! ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Probe droids, speed bikers, ATAT's, ATST's.

In the movie, you see Luke Skywalker fire a detonator in the ATAT, this time he is inside it.... Why are you here? Well, there is a boss on top of the place, and I guess that's where you are heading.... This place is full of enemies and ecspecially star-shooting machines.

NORMAL. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, rapid ion droids, imperial white soldiers, white snipers, ¤"""""""""""""""""""""""¤ STAGE 14: The Falcon ¤"""""""""""""""""""""""¤ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ok, you've entered the place where I've never beaten at Jedi. Of course I've beaten it on Brave and Easy, but at Jedi I haven't. I'm sorry, but I can't make it. The game is so hard. But I can tell you what to do if you want to come as far as you want. You drive the falcon right into a meteor shower and must get her out as quick as you can. But the imperial ships want to interrupt and you must destroy them all. For more tips, check the walkthrough. IMPOSSIBLE!!! If I can't beat it(at the highest level) then it must be impossible. It's simple, that is fact. It's impossible. If you can prove you've beaten this stage at JEDI(hardest level) I'd be very impressed and respect you for the rest of my life(almost). ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Imperial ships, meteroids. ]"""""""""""""""""""""""[ STAGE 15: The jungle ]"""""""""""""""""""""""[ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ah, the jungle! Some difference from those snow-worlds. But R2 is lost! Where is he? Your mission is to find him. Unfortunately I never came this far on Jedi(hard) but I made it to this place with Brave(Normal) and Easy. So I can inform you about that. I don't know if there are any changes between the Jedi/Brave/Easy modes at this stage, but I don't think so. You must find R2 and you start searching the jungle. You will discover many strange and weird animals here. VERY EASY. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Piranhas, Eels, Alien wurm, sea-stars, crocodiles, brown eagles. £""""""""""""""""""""""""£ STAGE 16: Yoda's home £""""""""""""""""""""""""£ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ok, you found R2, but this time you must find the Jedi-teacher Yoda. And he is somewhere deep inside this jungle. This stage is a little harder than the other jungle stage you just beat, but not much. You find Yoda after a while, standing in a corner. QUITE EASY. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Brains, alien wurms, piranhas, aliens, tough rhinos, eagles, strange lizards, sea stars, crocodiles. %"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""% STAGE 17: Deep into Amazonas %"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""% ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You found Yoda, R2-D2? Good, now you must learn to use the force. In this stage you will find them high up in the air right before you face the boss. If you want a more detailed way of getting them, check the walkthrough. EH!! Welcome to the slimy boss nest! You can almost smell it from the tv... NORMAL. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Brains, piranhas, eels, sea stars, strange lizards, eagles, crocodiles and the boss. $"""""""""""""""""""""""$ STAGE 18: Toy Factory $"""""""""""""""""""""""$ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, C3PO is gone(why would he be? Then I must go and find him!) and you must find him. Perhaps this is the hardest stage in the whole game. I don't know, cause I never came this far at Jedi, but if I compare the stages I've been at on Brave(normal diffcultness) I find this one hardest. And then it is quite obvious it is at Jedi. Anyway, it's hard and contains a tough boss to defeat. The stage is full of lava that can kill you in 2 seconds, and it's full of enemies. Make sure to power up your weopons, you'll need it for the boss. VERY HARD!!! ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, small witches, thin blue commanders, lava, gaps, lazerbeam-shooting machines, a boss. }"""""""""""""""""""""""""""{ STAGE 19: The crane stage }"""""""""""""""""""""""""""{ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The crane stage(T.C.S.) is full of cranes and deadly enemies. But something much more dangerous are all the gaps. I tell ya, those gaps killed me a thousand times! Ok, if you don't want to listen to my crap, I describe this shortly: Watch out for all enemies that can push you into the gaps. And this is nothing but a warning. I promise, you will get problems. HARD! ,,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,,, Cranes, big flamers, imperial white soldiers, purple flying balls, cloud soldiers, gaps, freezers. &""""""""""""""""""""""& STAGE 20: Cloud city &""""""""""""""""""""""& ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You'll play as Chewie, searching for the ship that would take Han to Darth Vader. Watch out, there is a nasty enemy at this stage, so be careful! HARD!! ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Cloud soldiers, blue catapults, hags, blue droids, mechanic shooters, gaps, electrical shocks. =""""""""""""""""""= STAGE 21: X-wing =""""""""""""""""""= ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Whoa! Instead of driving a snowspeeder, you now drive an X-wing. But in fact, it's almost the same thing. You must shoot down 15 cloud ships before you can go on. Use the proton missile(left or right button at the top of the controller). Very hard stage at Jedi, I would guess. Not so hard at easy. HARD!!! ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Cloud ships. ."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""". STAGE 22: Darth Vader's base ."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""". ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The first place in Darth's nest. You are inside his place, running around deep inside to find him. There are enemies everywhere, and platforms to jump over. It's easy to fall down, so I suggest you equip the flying spell. NORMAL. ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Rolling balls, mechanic star shooters, imperial red soldiers, red snipers, red grenade throwers, rapid ion droids, lazer beams, everything you can imagine. ;"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""; STAGE 23: Darth Vader's place ;"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""; ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You are in the second place as Darth is hiding inside. It almost looks exactly as the previous one, but with a few changes. Equip the flying spell and run to find the boss. You are near now!!!

Try to collect as much points as you can. It will increase your score a lot. When you are down, head right to meet the boss(the illusion darth Vader). ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, The same as in the others. z"""""""""""""""""""""""z STAGE 25: Darth Vader z"""""""""""""""""""""""z ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Description: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, This is no stage, it's the ultimate fight! You versus Darth Vader! Just go right and you must face the evil lord. Now, there is no turning back, go on and fight for the light side. Defeat the dark side. (I can almost hear Darth Vader saying: "Du hast misch"-You found me in German. I bet you heard the song. It fits kinda good to this game now. We really "hast" Darth Vader now.) ,,,,,,,,,, Enemies: ,,,,,,,,,, Darth Vader. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> M: Changes between the movie/game <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Whoooo! YES, this is a short sequence where some info about the changes between the game and the movie. Now why did I include this section in the game? Well, it can give you some advices(why it is different, what to do) and maybe it can be interesting to know. Of course there're many changes/differences, but I only list the major parts. + In this game, there are often longer chapters than it was in the movie(much longer snow stages, longer stages where you play as Han etc.) + In this game, you actually defeat Darth Vader, in the movie you are beaten badly, with a hand lesser. + In the game, in the jungle, you face a jungle monster(the slimy boss) that doesn't exist in the movie. + In the beginning, you fight a cave monster that doesn't exist in the movie. + You play as Chewbacca in this game, in the movie, you won't know anything about this. + You are inside an ATAT, but Luke was never in a ATAT in the movie. + Ok, Luke travels to Cloud city in the movie, but you never see him fighting cloud ships. + And of course there are plenty of enemies that never were shown in the movie. 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 N: A few things about the movie(good to know when playing the game) 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Yeah, as I mentioned the game is based on the movie "Star Wars: Episode IV: The empire strikes back". Because of the game is based on the movie, it could be good to know a few things of the movie(like get some inspiration, it could be more fun to know about the movie while playing the game etc, and if you forgot the whole movie, here's a sort of short review). ------------------------------------ Here's a short view of the movie: ------------------------------------ The whole thing starts with that the empire search desperately for the rebellion's hidden base. They want it discovered, so they can destroy it. The rebels are the only threat for the empire, that will conquer the whole universe. The rebels are led by a princess, Leia. The rebels are few, got no modern weopons, and got overall quite bad odds against the empire. The only thing they can win on is their braveness. The rebels are discovered by a searching machine, and Darth Vader and his troops travel to the Hoth system, where the rebel base is located. Your first meeting with Luke is when he's out, checking a droid. But he get caught by an ice monster, and must be rescued by Han Solo. They go back to the base, and find out that the empire is on the way. The rebels prepare for defense and evacuate civilians. Luke takes place in a Snow speeder, and try to defend the base. Han Solo and Leia leave the base, right before it gets destroyed by the empire. Han Solo and Leia get chased by the empire, but they try to escape. But the hyperdrive(super fast engine) won't work, so Han must find another way, escaping the empire. He drives the ship to a city his friend owns, the cloud city, unaware that he got a bounty hunter on his neck. Meanwhile, Luke travels to Dagobah system to learn the Jedi force from Yoda. But there, when he learned the force, he sees a picture; where his friends are captured and....well, more he can't see, because he loses control. But he thinks that they maybe will die, and he rushes quickly to the plane, and go to rescue them. Yoda try to warn him, he must complete the training. Only a full Jedi knight can defeat Darth Vader and restore peace in the galaxy. Luke isn't ready yet. But he must save his friends! Luke flies quickly to the cloud city. At cloud city, Lando Calrissian(Han Solo's friend) is forced to betray his old friend by the empire, and they all get captured. Han Solo get frozen into carbonate, meanwhile Luke races quickly to cloud city. Lando knows he has been tricked, and finally decides to do something. He makes up a plan and fool the empire for a second. Then Luke arrives, challenging Darth Vader. But he gets beaten, and in the last second, Leia, Chewie and Lando come rescuing him. And they rejoin the rebel fleet. -£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£- End of Faq £-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-£-&-£-£-£-£-£-£-£ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Final comments: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I thought "Super Empire Strikes Back" for Snes was a quite ok game, maybe thanx to it's so old. But there were definitely too many snow stages, that did the game boring. I'm sick of the snow stages. If I would make a statement, I think the movie (episode IV: the empire strikes back) was much better. I'm a bit disappointed. I thought a movie with this fantastic story and everything could make a good game. Obviously I was wrong. But what can you expect, all games based on movies are usually just crappy. But this game could have been better, without all those snow stages!!! Anyway, I thought the game was ok, but better has been made. Super Empire Strikes Back was the first game I got to the SNES, I got it from my parents, that bought it for my birthday (so sweet!) a long time ago. I was stunned by the "cool" graphics, "awesome" sound and whatever it was. Now my mind has absolutely changed. This game has no cool graphics, no awesome sound, it's just another platform game. But then it also was 7 years since I played it the first time. Well, I tell ya again, watch the movie, it's worth seeing. But this game ain't something special. Once again, it might take a while before I update the document, so be patient. I'm sorry about bringing the faq out so late! It took me awhile to do this one and all the others. I thought it would be better if I submitted everything at the same time, a little cooler(a little more awesome, everything at one day). I was also a bit late, never really worked enough with them. I recognized that there was 3 months ago since I did something at www.gamefaqs.com, and then I thought I had to hurry up with my stuff, to get them ready. And here they are, finally. Yeah! That sums it all up. Once again, sorry for bringing it out so late. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ End of faq ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the end. Have a great time, whatever you're doin'. Hope you didn't read this faq for nothing, I mean, I hope something of this was worth reading. If not, I'm sorry. But I think everyone should be satisfied, I mean, what more can be written about Super Empire Strikes Back? I did the faq as fully I could, with everything I could come up with about the game(even all the text). I'm sorry about all spelling/grammar errors. I did the best I could. Anyway, have a pleasant time!!! This document Copyright 2001 Yakuza ***************************************************************************
