===================================DISCLAIMER================================== I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com), IGN (faqs.ign.com), Gamerhelp (www.gamerhelp.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on. Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of hassle in my mailbox. So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks. Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear anywhere at the following URLs: http://www.cheatcc.com http://www.cheatindex.com This document Copyright 2004 Daniel Engel =============================================================================== The Amazing Spiderman FAQ January 06, 2006 Daniel (FecalLord) Engel fecalord [AT] gmail [DOT] com ############################################################################### (A) TABLE OF CONTENTS ############################################################################### Table of Contents (A) This Table of Contents (B) Controls (C) Advanced Controls (D) Powerups (E) Walkthrough (F) Experimental ############################################################################### (B) CONTROLS ############################################################################### The controls for this game are as follows: A - Jump.

[Web Fluid] This looks like a rectangular object and gives you more web fluid. Also any of the items that appear from defeated enemies MUST be picked up before they hit the ground, otherwise they are destroyed. ############################################################################### (E) WALKTHROUGH ############################################################################### Bricklayer J. Gastronomy There is a bar at the bottom of the screen which is very helpful. It shows your health, number of lives you have, how much webbing you have left, the health of any boss you're fighting and shows your score. Once you've use up three continues the game ends. ====================== Stage 01: The Alleyway ====================== Head right and beat up a group of five thugs as you collect some web fluid from the fourth. Now jump ON to the manhole to take out the lizard below, he shows up like this at every manhole in the stage. Jump over the boxes ahead as you kill a thug and lizard, then continue right to see a thug in the window with a bat. Carefully time your jump past him between his swings, then duck the bullets of the thug up ahead. Carefully jump over the dumpster while jumping the bullets, then jump over the thug and use a crouching kick on him. Grab the burger from the left window if you need it, then take out the lizard and use a high jump to get over the boxes. Quickly run past the thug in the window as you continue right past another window thug. Take out the lizard and thug as you grab his web fluid, then head right to the dumpster as you crouch some bullets. Carefully jump over the dumpster and bullets as you take out the thug from behind, then jump over the boxes and ignore the window thug. Head right and beat up the thug for his web fluid, then grab the burger from the window above if you need it. Approach the manhole to lure a thug to you, then beat him and the lizard. Continue right to beat another lizard and thug, then hop over the box while avoiding a window thug and grabbing a burger up high if you need it. Do a high jump over the boxes while avoiding another window thug, then jump the nearby bullets and grab the burger in the window if you need it. Jump over the thug up ahead that's shooting at you, then rush right past the window thug before killing a lizard. Continue right to reach the end of the alleyway and the boss for the stage. -------------- Boss: Mysterio -------------- When the battle starts you just need to dodge a stream of fire that bounces around the screen. It's pretty easy to dodge and you may need to jump over it the odd time but you shouldn't suffer any serious damage. For the next part of the battle Mysterio teleports to a location and throws an arcing shot before teleporting again. The fiery field around him can hurt you when he teleports in or out of a location so try to hit him when the field is down. Your punches and kicks deal a lot of damage but you can also use web if you want to play things safe or if you're low on health. ========================= Stage 02: To The Rooftops ========================= In this stage you need to climb up a wall to reach the rooftops. However there are window thugs and falling pumpkin bombs to make your life difficult. The thugs are easily spotted and avoided [or punched by using the B button], but for the bombs you need to watch out for Spiderman's spidey sense. This is indicated by some wavy lines around his head and when you see them you need to quickly get out of the way of a falling bomb. This section is pretty straightforward though you just crawl around the thugs on your way up and watch for bombs so you can dodge past them. As you climb higher the bombs fall faster, but this section is still pretty easy. Once you can't climb any higher a window opens on your left with the word "IN". Crawl below that window, then hold up and jump to end this stage. ====================== Stage 03: The Rooftops ====================== Head right and beat up four thugs to get some web fluid, then jump to the next roof and kill a thug. Take a [running] high jump over the next gap and use web if you want to swing across. Head right and kill the thug that drops from the sky [where'd he drop from anyway you're on a roof!?], then jump to the next roof. Head right and kill another airborne thug, then walk right to the edge and jump some bullets as you jump the gap and kill the shooter. Head right and kill the thug that drops behind you, then grab his web fluid before jumping the gap. kill the shooter ahead for more web fluid, then head right and kill another shooter than drops behind you for even more web fluid. Carefully jump the gap and kill the nearby shooter, then continue right as two thugs drop down. Make short work of them and head right to the edge, then kill the thug that drops behind you. Jump the gap and kill a shooter, then continue right and kill a thug before jumping the gap. Kill another shooter and head right as you kill about six thugs, then jump off the edge and use your web to swing to the next roof. Kill the shooter here and use a HIGH JUMP to reach the next roof, otherwise you'll lose a life. Kill the shooter for some web fluid as you head right, then swing over to the next roof. Kill the thug that drops down ahead, then do a high jump and use your web to safely swing to the next roof. Continue right and kill the final shooter of the stage as a boss battle starts. --------------- Boss: Hobgoblin --------------- Hug the right side of the screen as Hobgoblin drops his bombs, then run to the left edge and do a crouching kick before he drops down. If you're too late though you can face right and keep doing crouching kicks until he flies into one from that side of the screen. If you keep this up as the pattern repeats you should have a ridiculously easy time winning this fight. ==================== Stage 04: The Subway ==================== Use crouching kicks to get rid of the pair of shooters, then head right and kill four bats. Continue right and kill another four bats as some more swoop down harmlessly above, then kill another group of four before using a high jump to reach some burgers [three are available to collect]. Crouch under the wall and kill 2 groups of bats, then duck under a wall and some swooping bats. Kill another group of bats and three shooters, then duck a group of bats before killing the next group. Kill yet another group of bats and use a high jump to reach the nearby burger, then kill another group of bats and high jump up to a second burger. Duck under the swooping bats and the wall, then kill some bats and duck under another wall. Kill two more groups of bats as you duck under another wall, then head right to meet the boss. -------------- Boss: Scorpion -------------- This boss drops down from above and attacks at close range with his tail, then his pattern repeats. Since you're likely to have a LOT of web fluid right now, I recommend just standing back and using your web to kill the boss. Regardless of the method that you choose it shouldn't take long at all if you keep moving. ====================== Stage 05: Central Park ====================== Make a note of the spiked bomb in the trees above you, it falls when you come close to the bomb. You can either run through without hesitation, or walk close enough that the bomb starts to fall before backing up a little. Either way kill the lizard and avoid another bomb before killing the bird on the ground. Kill a pair of lizards ahead while avoiding a couple of bombs, then kill a thug and lizard. Avoid the bomb and kill a thug for his web fluid, then continue right to a stump. Carefully jump the stump and the shooter's bullets, then avoid the bombs above as you kill him. Go right and avoid some more bombs and bullets as you kill another shooter, then use a high jump to get over a stump and past a bomb. Go right past a bomb and lizard, then use a high jump to continue right past a lizard, thug and bomb. Jump the stump and kill the thug that drops in, then head right past a bomb and shooter. Kill a lizard and high jump over the stump, then go past a trio of bombs while you kill a lizard. Head right to kill a couple of thugs and avoid a pair of bombs, then dodge the nearby shooter's bullets before jumping the stump and killing him for some web fluid. Kill the lizard and the shooter beyond, then head right and beat another shooter. Kill a lizard and thug as you head right, then continue that way to reach the boss. ----------- Boss: Rhino ----------- Your webs are useless in this battle because they bounce right off Rhino so don't waste them. Instead you should stand near the middle of the screen and jump over Rhino as he charges at you. Now quickly run up to him and punch him before repeating the pattern all over again. If you keep this up the battle shouldn't last long. ========================= Stage 06: To The Rooftops ========================= This stage is just like stage 02, except that this time the thugs in the windows have guns to fire at you with as well as baseball bats. Also you need to deal with the birds that fly past the building every so often. Remember that you can use the B button to punch at any time, which certainly helps you get rid of the thugs. You could also climb diagonally to avoid their shots and the birds, but I find punching them works best. Otherwise there's not a whole lot to this stage and you just need to climb to the top like the other climbing stage before jumping into the window that says "IN". ====================== Stage 07: The Rooftops ====================== Head right and carefully use a high jump to cross the gap, then continue right and jump the next gap without hitting your head on the ledge above you. Ignore the window thugs to your right as you approach the gap and lure a bird past you, then use a high jump and your web to swing over the gap. Quickly attack the bird and window thug before they hit you, then carefully jump to the next ledge and attack another bird. Jump to the next ledge and quickly run to the right side of it to avoid a thug's bat, then attack the bird and jump the next gap. Quickly crouch to avoid the thug's bat, then attack two birds to your right before using your webbing to swing across the large gap. Use the B button to kick about five birds on your way over, otherwise you're going to fall to your death. Carefully jump the gap before killing a window thug and bird, then jump the next gap and head right while beating two more birds and a window thug. Jump the next gap and take out a bird, then use your webbing to swing across the gap while kicking five birds. Jump the gap and head right to lure a bird past you, then use a high jump to land on the falling platform on your right. Quickly jump back left before you ride it all the way down, then use your webbing to swing across the gap. You'll likely land on the lower platform and it's impossible to continue right from here [without losing a life] because you'll hit your head and fall to your death. However, you can do a high jump left and then pull right at the height of the jump to land on the platform above you. Once here you can take out the window thug and grab the burger as you jump the gap. Jump right and back left to lure a bird, then use your webs to swing across the gap and kick nine birds on the way. Head right to the gap and jump out and back to lure a pair of birds, then swing across on your webs as you kick another four birds. Head right and beat a window thug before using a high jump to reach the ledge above you, then beat another window thug and head right as the nearby platform falls to reach the stage boss. -------------------- Boss: Doctor Octopus -------------------- This boss is not very fair at all because he doesn't really give you a chance to do any serious damage to him. Basically he walks left and right on the lower ledge attacking with his arms. He can also turn around at any moment, so you need to be ready to run as well if you choose to use punches and kicks on him. I recommend using your webs on this boss because you're likely to have a lot, and although they do a pretty small amount of damage to the boss it eventually adds up. Whenever the boss is getting close to your side of the ledge you should use a high jump to reach the ledge above. This is easier to do on the left side of the ledge because you won't hit your head, but it is possible on both sides. I find it works best to wait on the right end of the upper ledge to lure the boss as far right as possible, then quickly drop down to the left side and use 2-4 web shots on him before returning to the upper ledge. If you repeat this pattern until you run out of web, then you should be in a MUCH better position to win the fight with your punches and kicks while keeping your lives and continues. =================== Stage 08: The Sewer =================== You walk through some water in this stage and it slows you down, so don't forget to jump as you travel through this stage if you want to move faster. However I find this stage to be the hardest of the game, because there are many instances where I found it impossible to avoid taking damage [although you can make it a little easier by using your webs to take out the shooters]. Add a very hard boss battle into the mix and you'll get an idea of the frustration that you're in store for. Good luck! You'll need it. ;) Head right and drop into the water while avoiding the shooter's bullets, then crouch and kill the alligator to your left. head right a little to get the shooter to drop down, then take him out for some web fluid. Go right and kill an alligator, then continue right and kill another alligator on your left. Watch the falling trash as two chunks fall, then two quicker chunks. At this point there should be a pause that lets you safely get past. Take out an alligator to your right, then carefully pass by the trash and the bullets of the nearby shooter. Quickly kill the alligator on your left, then head right and kill the dropping shooter. Ignore the ledge on your right as you kill another alligator, then continue right past the bullets before killing a nearby shooter. Pass by the falling trash while killing a trio of alligators, then jump to the next ledge and carefully pass the trash and bullets of the shooter. Carefully pass the falling trash and kill an alligator, then kill a pair of alligators and a shooter as you jump to the next ledge. Avoid the nearby trash while taking out a shooter and a pair of alligators, then avoid some more trash as you cross the ledge and kill more shooters and alligators. Kill a pair of shooters and some more alligators as you pass the next short ledge, then kill an alligator on your right and another on your left as you pass some trash and bullets. Kill an alligator and the shooter as he drops, then pass some trash and kill the alligator that approaches from the left. Jump onto the ledge above and use your webs to take out the shooter, then pass some trash and kill an alligator on either side of you. Kill an alligator on your left and another on your right as you pass some more trash, then head right as you kill a final alligator and start the boss battle. ----------- Boss: Venom ----------- For this battle Venom rides his web up and down on either edge of the screen while firing web shots at you. I have not found any easy way to beat him [although I found jump kicks mildly effective] because your punches, kicks and web shots ALL to a pitiful amount of damage to Venom. I recommend only attacking Venom on the left side of the screen once you're out of web, because you leave yourself open to more attacks when attacking him on the other side. However if you have a lot of lives and continues left over and you use up your web from a safe distance before attacking at close range you should pull through. After the battle you can watch the terrible ending and put yourself through playing the game again...or not. ############################################################################### (F) EXPERIMENTAL ############################################################################### For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had the same idea. I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to send money, so it's here for those people. For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some excellent progress on a few FAQs. If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement. My email address is fecalord (AT) gmail (DOT) com, and the paypal address is listed below.
