- To reach the first bonus you must complete Tokyo and the
- Pacific Ocean stages with a very high score.
-
- SHUTTLE DEFENSE
- To reach the second bonus stage you will need to complete
- Tokyo, Pacific Ocean, and Air Battle very quickly. If it's
- sunset when you reach the Desert stage you're already too
- late to save the shuttle.
-

- already won the first two bonus stages.
-

- FSX/SU-35
- COBRA: Pull back on analog stick and push bottom C Button. Then pull
- back on Joy Stick
- and push top C Button.
- CULBIT(backflip): pull back on analog stick and push bottom C Button.

- To Execute:
- Two simultaneous actions are required to perform the maneuver.
- - Tap the analog stick back twice.
- - During the first tap, press the Down "C" button.
- - During the second tap, press the Up "C" button.
-
- If you release the analog stick after the second tap, you will do a
- Cobra maneuver,
- which will drop your flight path, and slow you down.
-
- If you keep the stick back, you will do a CULBIT(backflip).
- (Caution: these moves will decrease your elevation, don't perform close
- to the ground.)
-
- F-14 / A-10 / F-15
- RUDDER REVERSAL: Slow down and pull back until the nose of the plane is
- at 30 degrees
- or more, then tap the left C Button or right C Button twice.
- You will make a hard turn in the direction you pressed. (If you can't
- pitch your nose to
- 30 degrees you are too high. Decrease your elevation.)
-
- To Execute:
- - Pull back stick to pitch nose to at least 30 degrees.
- - Slow down.
- - Tap the Left or Right "C" button twice quickly.
-
- ====================================================================
- 3)GAME VIEWS
- There are several different views in this game. There seems to be a
- couple ways of
- choosing them. Because of this my info may be slightly inaccurate. If
- so, please inform
- me.
-
- R button-Cockpit view/Trail view(normal)
- Up on control pad-Rear view
- Down on control pad-Enemy
- boss/cockpit
- Left on control pad-Enemy support vehicle
- Right on control pad-Nearest enemy
- plane
-
- PADLOCK (TRACKING) VIEWS
- While in Trail or Cockpit View, press the down on the Control Pad. Your
- view will lock onto targets in this order:
-
- 1. Nearest Enemy Fighter
- 2. Enemy Boss
- 3. Enemy Support Vehicle
- 4. Friendly Boss
- 5. Nearest Friendly plane
-
- If there are no threats, (Pilot control in practice) your views will not
- padlock.

- ====================================================================
- 5)BOSS/LEVEL STRATEGIES
-
- SPRIGGAN:
- First, take out the two red things at the tip of each wing. The wing
- tips will appear charred and twisted if you did it correctly.
- Then approach from behind and shoot at the two remaining red things in
- the middle. When close, unload a special or two and keep moving to avoid
- fire.
-
- FORTRESS:
- The only way I've ever beat the fortress is with Mao Mao. I take all
- the shield generators and enemy planes out first. Keeping
- just within lockon distance I then take out all the surrounding ground
- threat. Quickly take out the ground threat around the
- spike on a couple passes and then fire your ninja beams at the red bars
- on the middle spike. The beam will not normaly fire
- until your time runs out. However, the beam will sometimes fire if it
- is very low on energy or if it does not have any defense,
- so leave one of the guns around the base of the the spike undestroyed,
- then ninja beam it before it beams you!
-
- ICE CAVES:
- Again Mao Mao comes in very handy here with her Ninja beam and good
- armor, but anyone should do. The caves aren't much of a problem as long
- as you keep your airbrake on all the time. Be prepared to take sharp
- turns up down left and right while avoiding giant icicles. Once you get
- to the boss, just start blasting the frozen eye with missles and guns.
- When the eye is open, pop a couple specials in him. Kablamo! you're
- done. (Ninja beams work the best.)
- ====================================================================
- 6)FUTURE UPDATES
- On page14, the manual says the game has 11 levels, but on page17-23 it
- only lists10.
- There must be a hidden bonus mission. More info later as I get it.
- Is there a way to enable Spanky with a simple code? What do you get if
- you collect all
- stars? There might be more secrets to this game. If you find any let me
- know...
