Sega Genesis Collection - Vectorman Hints (PSP)

In the year 2049, mankind is forced to abandon an over-polluted Earth to seek out other planets for colonization while the mechanized Orbots stay behind to clean up the mess.

When the Orbot leader, WarHead, starts blowing a few circuits and a war among the mechanical brethren, a sludge barge pilot named Vectorman is the only one
willing to step up and fight him.

You'll morph into a speeding train, a power drill, a mechanical fish, or a mighty dune buggy in this warfare adventure. Equip yourself with weapons, pick up morphs and power-ups to defeat WarHead and restore peace on Earth.

Gameplay Hints

Hover:
To hover in mid-air, aim down from where Vectorman is falling, then keep shooting. To go higher while hovering, use your jet pack feet. Note: A controller with a turbo feature will make this trick easier.

Invisible and invincible:
Collect the power-up to turn into a grenade. Pause game play when it explodes. Enable the "Free movement" code. This should allow you to move anywhere in the level as an exploding bomb. Locate the Boss, if available, at the end of the level. Enable the "Free movement" code again to face the Boss invisible and invincible.

Item preview:
To view the various items and power-ups in the game, simply point the option menu cursor to "Information" and press Start.

Level 1: Extra lives:
Enable the "Free movement" code and go directly under the floor where the level starts. Kill the robot and you should see three televisions. Break them to get two lives and a jet pack.

Defeating Clockworks:
Keep walking into him and shooting diagonally at his head. When he corners you to the side, keep walking in and go the other way while still shooting at his head. Note: When he gets hurt, he shoots out the orange bomb things.

To defeat Clockworks much faster than just shooting him with bullets, use your jet pack feet to damage his head while jumping over him. You will make the jump without getting hurt, unless you are in a corner.

Defeating Bomber:
Keep moving and shoot at his underside. When he goes up at the right side, stay back. He will come down and bomb you if you are too close.

Defeating Piranha:
Keep walking against him, and shoot at his face. When he stalls and opens his mouth, he is vulnerable for attack. To save health balls, keep walking into him.

Defeating Monkey:
When you go down through the hole on the left side to reach the monkey, quickly move over to the right side and destroy the television to get a health ball. By this time, the Monkey should be making its way out of the blueprints. Without shooting at the Monkey, go back over to the left where the hole above you is located. Since the Monkey moves around on the ceiling, when he comes near, shoot at him. More often than not, that one shot forces him down onto the ground where he moves back and forth shooting. You should shoot too, and avoid his shots by jumping up if all else fails. The Monkey will then jump back up and go to the right of the screen. Stay there. Do not go after him, because you will almost always get shot badly. Repeat the process until he yells and bursts into pieces.

Defeating the Bamboo Mill Boss:
You must do two things before facing this Boss. First, always take the high path. Second, at the end of the high path make sure that you destroy the monitor to get the checkpoint orb before you fall down to the Boss' lair. There are two ways to defeat this Boss: The first is to jump and use your jets to hit his head. Do this a numerous times and he will be defeated. The second way is to keep shooting his head and try not to get squished.

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

Let the game idle and Vectorman will eventually do three different taunting movements.
