Sega Genesis Collection - Vectorman 2 Cheats and Hints (PSP)

After saving Earth from Warhead in the previous game, Vectorman's sludge barge ship ends up as a target for a missile and he parachutes in a planet to battle with the Earth's multitudinous enemy; mutant insects. Now it's up to Vectorman to fight through the mutant bugs and find the most fearsome source of who led the mutant insects and the planet: the evil Black Widow Queen.

Gameplay Hints

Super overkill:
Enable the "New weapons" code eight times. You should reappear as the Fire Ant form, but you will also do a much stronger overkill. Use it against the Swamp Boss for a one hit kill.

Alternate flame color:
Enter into a level where there are some Paint Bugs. Do the flame and then get hit by a Paint Bug. You should change colors and still have the flame. This looks best in black. It also may be done while in a morph.

Defeating the Queen Spider:
Jump on one of the two platforms and stay to the furthermost side where there is a wall. That is, if you are on the left platform, stay closest to the left wall; if you are on the right platform, stay closest to the right wall. This is to keep you from getting hit by the spider's leg attacks. When the platform starts to move downward, duck down and fire rapidly. The key point is to hit the exposed brain. When she shoots red balls at you, simply jump to dodge them and repeat the method.

Stay to the left of the spider and jump when the red balls are fired at you. Immediately after you jump and hit the ground, start shooting rapidly in a up/right diagonal direction. You should be able to get in three hits each time. Repeat this method to defeat the Queen Spider.

Since your jet pack feet inflict more damage than your bullet shooter, try using them. When you are at the highest point when on either platform, jump off and get close enough so that your jet pack feet will make contact with the brain. Be very careful not to get hit by the legs. The spider will die more quickly using this method, but it is also more difficult to execute. This method is more risky than those mentioned above. Note: All methods are easier when all health balls are possessed.

Taunting:
Walk into a wall and stay there. Vectorman will then pose and juggle the balls that make up his arm.

Allow the to game idle and Vectorman will eventually do seven different taunting movements.
