_____________
A. - Gameplay
_____________
Bangai-O Spirits is the closest thing I've seen to mixing a puzzle game with a
shoot-em-up. You play as the pilot of a robot named Bangai-O, and your mission
is... okay, there's not really a mission. Basically, if you see something,
shoot it.
_____________
B. - Controls

The touch screen & stylus are only used in Edit Mode.
About Edit Mode: Edit Mode allows you to add or remove anything in the
stage or change your health and EX gauges. If you use this during a stage,
your score and time won't be recorded, and you won't be able to save a replay.
About Slow Mode: By holding the Start button, Slow mode will be activated.
Pressing Start again moves the game forward one frame at a time, allowing you
to precisely run through the stage. Your score and time won't be recorded,
but you can save a replay of the run.
____________
C. - Weapons
____________
There are three attacks to choose from: boosting, normal shots, and EX shots.
Boost: By holding the A button, Bangai-O will boost forward. This boost can be
used to damage anything Bangai-O comes into contact with. Useful for
destroying background items (except for mini mines).
Normal shots: By pressing the X, Y, or B buttons, Bangai-O will use a normal
attack. Two weapons can be equipped at the start of a stage. The weapons
can be MIX'ed together to combine their effects when possible.
At the beginning of a stage, weapons will automatically be MIX'ed. MIX can be
turned on or off by simultaneously pressing X+B or Y+B.
There are 7 types of normal weapons:
Homing: Shots move towards any nearby enemies. Good for large areas.
Bounce: Shots bounce off of walls. They will bounce towards
nearby enemies whenever possible. Useful in narrow areas.
Napalm: Shots explode on impact, damaging nearby enemies. Good for sword
enemies.
Break: Shots absorb incoming projectiles and continue on their path.
Sword: Melee attack that destroys all shots and pushes most enemies back.
Does not stop other melee attacks. Moves Bangai-O forward with each
use. Cannot be MIX'ed with other weapons.
Bat: Just like sword, only shots are reflected and there's a delay between
hits, leaving you vulnerable to attacks. Cannot be MIX'ed with other
weapons.
Shield: A shield will block attack from one direction. By default, the shield
will block in the direction Bangai-O is moving. To fix the shield in
one spot, press the fire button while holding the D-Pad in the
direction you want it in. Press B on its own to reset the shield to
block in front again. Cannot be MIX'ed with other weapons.
EX Attack: By pressing the L or R buttons, Bangai-O will unleash an EX attack,
launching multiple missiles. Holding the button will charge the attack and
launch omre missiles. By default, the missiles will launch in a circle,
but the direction can be chaged using the D-Pad. Like normal weapons, EX
weapons can be MIX'ed.
There are 7 types of EX weapons:
Homing/Bounce/Napalm/Break: Same as their normal versions.
Direct: Missiles spread out, then attack the closest enemy.
Reflect: All nearby boxes and enemies are thrown backwards or in the direction
you set with the D-Pad. Does not have to be charged and cannot be
MIX'ed with other EX weapons.
Freeze: Unlike any other weapon, this EX attack does not directly harm enemies.
Instead, the entire field freezes for a set time depending on how long
you charge the attack. Without a counterattack, a max of 3 seconds of
freeze time is possible, but a counterattack can make it at least
4 seconds. Cannot be MIX'ed with other EX weapons.
Counterattacking: The maximum amount of missiles that can be
launches is 100. However, the attack power of the missiles can increase by
launching a charged EX attack when enemy projectiles are nearby. This process,
called counter attacking, can produce 50-100 missiles at 2, 3, or even 4 times
their original size! unfortunately, this causes the game to lag, and not all
of the shots will appear on the screen.
____________
D. - Enemies
____________
There's a wide variety of enemies for Bangai-O to destroy.
_____________
Balls & Boxes
_____________
Note that boxes cannot change in size for Edit Mode.
Ball - An average sports ball. At half size, it's a baseball. At normal size,
a soccer ball. At 2x size, a basketball. They can't be destroyed
(I think...), but they can be smashed into enemies.
Wood Box - An average box. It usually contains a fruit inside it.
It takes 2 hits to destroy it (VERY important in a few stages).
Rock Box - Same as a Wood Box, but it can't be destroyed.
Life 1 / Life 2 - A box with a + on it. Life 1 (blue) gives you some health
back, while Life 2 (yellow) completly restores it.
Box / Box Frame - A metal box that can be pushed using boost. Sometimes a
Box Frame is used as a target, meaning a Box needs to be
pushed into it.
Boxes will move one space at a time in the direction you
boost into it (repeatedly tap a to continue to move it).
Gate - Gates block Bangai-O from reaching parts of a stage. Destroy
all of the enemies in the area indicated by the arrow to
remove the gate.
_____________
Bombs & Mines
_____________
All bombs and mines (except the Mega Mine) can blow up in a chain when a
nearby bomb or mine explodes.
Bomb - Your average bomb. Hit it or shoot it to blow it up.
Bomb Box - Same as a bomb, but in box form.
Mine - Your average mine. Hit it or shoot it to blow it up.
Air Mine - Same as the Mine, but bigger AND it chases after you.
Mega Mine - More of a spiked ball, really. It's big and takes a lot of hits
to bring down.
_______
Cannons
_______
Cannons come in three varieties:
Standard - shoots a single shot straight ahead.
Heavy - Shoots multiple shots in a semi-circle.
Firework - Shoots multiple shots in a circle.
Cannons can shoot one of six shots: standard, homing, bounce, break, napalm,
and laser.
Here's a quick list of all of the cannons:
Cannon
Homing Cannon
Bounce Cannon
Break Cannon
Napalm Cannon
Laser Cannon
Heavy Cannon
Heavy Homing Cannon
Heavy Bounce Cannon
Heavy Break Cannon
Heavy Napalm Cannon
Heavy Laser Cannon
Firework Cannon
Firework Homing Cannon
Firework Bounce Cannon
Firework Break Cannon
Firework Napalm Cannon
Firework Laser Cannon
______________
Enemies & Bots
______________
These are the guys that shoot you on sight (Or whatever it is they do).
Enemy - Your average enemy. Shoot it a few times to kill it.
Homing Enemy - An Enemy that shoots homing shots.
Bounce Enemy - An Enemy that shoots Bounce shots.
Napalm Enemy - An Enemy that shoots Napalm shots.
Break Enemy - An Enemy that shoots Break shots.
Machine Gun Enemy - An Enemy that shoots multiple shots in a row.
Ant - Your average ant. It just runs after you.
Tank - a slow-moving machine that shoots napalm shots at you.
Mech - A quick-moving machine that shoots lasers.
Bat Bot - An Enemy that hits shots back to you.
Ninja Bot - An Enemy that uses a sword to destroy your shots.
Fast Bot - An Enemy that curls into a ball and runs into you. It is
invulnerable when curled up.
______
Bosses
______
These are the (literal) big guns. At normal size they're bigger than most other
enemies at 2x size.
Big Bot - Take a Ninja Bot, make it bigger and slower, and make the sword
reflect projectiles instead of destroying them, and you get Big Bot.
The best strategy is to get behind it, then shoot it in the back
while moving back and forth to keep it from turning around.
Machine Gun Boss - A circular machine with 24 machine guns attached on the
outside. Destroy the outer guns first for an easy kill.
Cannon Boss - A large, moving cannon. You can get around it if you keep
shooting at it.
Drill Boss - A large machine with two homing drills for weapons. It has a
heavy cannon on each side, making it tough to get around. It
does turn pretty slowly, though.
Longai-O - The most evil enemy in the entire game. Basically a clone of
Bangai-O. Longai-O can boost, shoot multiple shots, AND
counterattack with Homing missiles (causing the biggest lag
the DS will probably ever see).
I know of two ways to beat this guy: use an EX when he's dashing, or
counterattack near him and hope for the best. Good luck, you'll
need it.
_____
Other
_____
Core - The most likely target to appear on a stage. Unless you're right next
to a Core, a shield surrounds it, reflecting any of your projectiles
back at you. To destroy it, either boost into it or get close and use
an EX attack.
Spawner - A large blue box that can create any enemy (and I DO mean any enemy).
In Edit Mode, you can set what comes out of the Spawner by dragging
objects on top of it.
Hut/Prefab/Builiding - Your average builiding. Hit it a few times to destroy
it.

A - Health/EX Gauges: Your health and EX amounts. The number next to your EX
gauge represents how many charges you have left. You can increase your
health by collecting items from Life boxes. Your EX gauge increases by
collecting fruit or money dropped by enemies or by taking damage.
B - Weapons: Your EX and normal weapons displayed as follows:
L Weapon-Weapon R
Y Weapon-Weapon B
The weapon next to the particular button corresponds to the type of shot
launched when that button is pressed. If a dash is between the two weapons,
then they are MIXed. If a "F" appears between the normal weapons, your aim
is fixed in that particular direction. If a "S" appears between the normal
weapons, then Bangai-O is currently in a fixed spot.
C - Bomb: The higher the number, the more explosions there are on the current
stage. The maximum count is 400.
D - Time: The amount of time spent on the current stage.
Bangai-O will appear with a blue glow on the screen, and any targets will have
a green circle surrounding them.

______________
# - Stage Name
______________
Recommended Setting: The easiest weapons to finish the stage with.
Map: If necessary, a map is displayed to show important details, such as a
specific path to take in the Labyrinth levels.
Targets: How many targets and what they are. These enemies must be defeated to
complete the level.
Strategy for the level.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2 - Tutorial Mode
_______________________________________________________________________________
The first thing you should go to in the game, this mode has 17 stages to
hone your skills as a Bangai-O pilot (if you want to hone them, that is).
Since this isn't free play, you're limited on what weapons you can use.
Unless otherwise mentioned, you're limited to Homing/Bounce on every level.
__________________
1 - Give it a Try!
__________________
Targets: 1
T1: Cannon
Get used to the controls in this stage. Once you're ready, move to the top
half of the map and destroy the cannon.
_______________
2 - Using Shots
_______________
Targets: 7
T1-T7: Cannon
Here, you learn about using shots. By simply holding B (or Y or X), Bangai-O
will automatically aim for the nearest enemy or projectile. Holding the D-Pad
before shooting will fix your aim in a certain direction (notice the "F" that
appears between the two normal weapons on the screen).
To finish the stage, shoot down all 7 cannons.
_______________
3 - Fixed Shots
_______________
Targets: 1
T1: Cannon
To perform fixed shots, press the B button twice in quick succession to stand
still and shoot in the direction you aim with the D-Pad (notice the "S" that
appears between the two weapons).
Approach the gap in the wall and fire diagonally through the gap, opening the
bottom half of the wall and exposing the cannon.
__________________
4 - Using Boosters
__________________
Targets: 8
T1-T2: Cannon
T3-T4: Homing Cannon
T5-T6: Bounce Cannon
T7-T8: Napalm Cannon
Use the A button to act as a boost, damaging anything you come into contact
with. Note that you can still take damage though.
You can either boost into or shoot at the cannons to clear the stage. Note
that on cannon is NOT a target; only 8 targets can exist on a single stage.
___________________
5 - Send 'Em Flying
___________________
Targets: 5
T1-T5: Cannon
Boost can be used to knock balls or boxes in any direction. Any smaller
enemies hit by the projectiles will also be sent flying.
Launch any ball into the rows of boxes and Enemies to destroy the Cannons.
____________________
6 - Using EX Weapons
____________________
Targets: 7
T1-T7: Spawner
Hold down L or R to unleash an EX attack, launching multiple missiles.
Destroy the top row of Spawners to clear the level.
____________________
7 - Counterattacking
____________________
Targets: 7
T1-T7: Homing
Ever seen a DS game lag before? Well here's you're chance. Hold L or R as soon
as the map appears, then let go when the first missiles are just about to hit.
Easy (and lagging) as that.
__________________
8 - MIXing Weapons
__________________
Targets: 1
T1: Spawner
Pressing Y+B, X+B, or L+R will MIX or un-MIX your weapons when possible. There
are some combinations (such as Break-Napalm) that work better when un-MIXed,
so it's a good idea to try anything and everything to clear a stage.
shoot diagonally upward to bounce the shots into the Spawner and clear the
stage.
__________________
9 - Break & Napalm
__________________
Weapons: All Break/Napalm
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Spawner
Break shots break through enemy projectiles, and napalm shots explode on
impact.
As I mentioned, Break-Napalm is not a good MIX, so un-MIX them at the start
of the stage. Use break shots to get past the Cannons, then use napalm to
blast through the Ants and destroy the Spawners.
_________________
10 - Using Swords
_________________
Weapons:
EX: Homing/Bounce
Normal: Bounce/Sword
Targets: 1
T1: Machine Gun Enemy
Swords destroy projectiles while moving forward. When not hitting anything,
Bangai-O moves quite slow, but a constant barrage of shots will keep you
going.
Use the sword to blast through the Cannons and Enemies, then make your
way to the target.
_______________
11 - Using Bats
_______________
Weapons:
EX: Homing/Bounce
Normal: Bounce/Bat
Targets: 7
T1: Enemy
T2: Homing Enemy
T3: Bounce Enemy
T4: Napalm Enemy
T5: Break Enemy
T6: Bat Bot
T7: Cannon
Bats reflect any projectiles in range... not much else to say.
Use the bat to hit the targets and clear the stage.
__________________
12 - Using Shields
__________________
Weapons:
EX: Homing/Bounce
Normal: Sword/Shield
Targets: 8
T1-T8: Cannon
Shields block missiles from any one direction.
Use any means (Sword, boost, or EX) to destroy the Cannons and clear the stage.
___________________
13 - Direct Attacks
___________________
Weapons:
EX: Break/Direct
Normal: Homing/Bounce
Targets: 1
T1: Spawner
Direct EX attacks aim towards the closest enemy.
Two charged EX attacks are all you need to clear the stage.
_____________
14 - Freezing
_____________
Weapons:
EX: Bounce/Freeze
Normal: Homing/Bounce
Targets: 8
T1-T8: Enemy
Freeze EX attacks stop everything for a few seconds. Use the time to blast
away enemies.
The 8 outer Enemies are the targets here. Use a combination of Freeze and
Bounce to destroy them.
_______________
15 - Reflecting
_______________
Weapons:
EX: Bounce/Reflect
Normal: Homing/Bounce
Targets: 6
T1-T6: Heavy Cannon
Reflect pushes all boxes and nearby small enemies away from Bangai-O (or in
the direction indicated from the D-Pad). Charging has no effect on reflect.
You only need two reflects to clear the stage: once to eliminate 5 Heavy
Cannons, then a second time to destroy the surviving target.
________________
16 - Use 'Em All
________________
Weapons:
EX: Homing/Bounce
Normal: Bat/Bounce
Targets: 5
T1: Homing
T2-T4: Spawner
T5: Box Frame
First, destroy the Homing Cannon and Huts to remove the first set of Gates.
Then destroy the Spawners and the boxes they drop for the second set of Gates.
Finally, push the Box into the Box Frame to clear the stage.
________________
17 - Real Combat
________________
Weapons:
EX: Freeze/Homing
Normal: Sword/Bounce
Targets: 2
T1: Machine Gun Enemy
T2: Core
The closest thing to a real shoot-em-up in the tutorial.
First, use the sword to clear out the enemies and background objects before
destroying the middle wall. Use the mini mines at the top of the map to blow
up the bottom section of the wall. A combination of homing EX attacks and
bounce missiles can destroy the Cannons and Enemies in the next section. For
the last section, bounce shots off the top wall to attack the cannons, then
use freeze attacks to take down the Machine Gun Enemy. Finally, destroy the
Core to complete the Tutorial!
_______________________________________________________________________________
3 - Free Play Mode
_______________________________________________________________________________
This mode allows you to try 167 different stages (and any custom stages you
have) with any combination of weapons you want. For most of these, your best
bet is having a break-bounce weapon and EX.
Multiplayer Mode: You can tackle any stage with up to 3 others and either
compete for the higher score or simple try to work your way through those
tougher levels (Longai-O!!!!!!!). If you die you can press A to respawn right
next your opponent/teammate, although you lose your score.
There are two simple strategies that work for multiplayer:
1) One person waits in a safe spot while the other runs into the fray, uses
their EX attacks, and kills whatever they can until they die, then respawn
and repeat.
2) More of a team approach, one uses Freeze and Reflect EX attacks and a
sword weapon while the other shoots ahead for support.
..at least, those work for 2 players.

clear the box below.
DO NOT BOOST!!! Otherwise your path will get blocked.
_____________________

Bounce and counterattack your way through the stage to reach the Core.
_________________
13 - Wide Samurai
_________________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Bounce/Napalm
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 5
T1-T5: Core
Use normal shots to blast through the level and EX shots to remove the enemies
in the last area. After you see a large Spawner, the path splits into two
paths; ALWAYS take the lower path as the enemies are easier to defeat
(Ants instead of Bat Bots, Fast Bots instead of Ninja Bots).
___________
14 - Boost!
___________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Break/Homing
Normal: Break/Bounce
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Core
First, boost dash right and destroy the T2 Core, then boost back and start the
bomb chain. Now use EX attacks and boost dashes to take out the Heavy
Cannons on the way to Core T3. Make sure you actually reach T3 BEFORE the metal
Boxes fall! After you destroy the T3 Core, make a beeline back to T1. If you
make it back before the second set of Boxes fall, wait for the wall to
disappear and destroy Core T1 to clear the stage.
________________
15 - Machine Map
________________
Targets: 8
T1-T8: Spawner
First, take out the two Enemies in front of you, then Boost your way up and
into the T8 Spawner. Next, work your way down and left to the T2 Spawner (an
EX attack would be a good idea here). In the next area, take out the Laser
Cannons and the T3 and T4 Spawners. At this point, two lines of bombs will be
set off. You must QUICKLY take down the T1 Spawner before the Rock Boxes
block off the path. There are two ways to accomplish this:
1) Unleash your EX attacks into the corridor and hope the target is destroyed.
2) Ignore the Laser Cannons and boost dash your way in.
Either way, after the Rock Boxes drop you'll see 2 Fast Bots rush toward you
with 2 more waiting in the next area along with 2 Bounce Enemies and 2
Firework Bounce Cannons. Take out all the enemiesthen destroy the remaining
three Spawners to clear the stage.
______________
16 - HURRY UP!
______________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Napalm/Direct
Normal: Napalm/Break
Targets: 5
T1: Tank
T2-T4: Core
T5: Cannon Boss
This is a race against time here. As the bombs move forward, the Rock Boxes
will first open the path, then close it back up soon afterward. You have to
make it through each chamber and destroy all the enemies in your path, all
while keeping your health as high as possible.
Chamber 1 has a Tank, chamber 2 has a Cannon Boss, chamber 3 has 4 Bounce
Cannons, and the last chamber has two Ninja Bots, three Cores, and two Mega
Mines waiting to drop onto you. Try to save your EX attacks for the Cannon
Boss and the Ninja Bots.
________
17 - MIP
________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Break/Homing or Napalm
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 8
T1: Core
T2: Spawner
T3-T4: Core
T5: Machine Gun Boss
T6: Spawner
T7-T8: Fast Bot
Simple in concept, tough in execution. Take out each floor of bombs to drop
the Rock Boxes to the bottom of the stage while destroying each target along
the way. Be quick, though, because the first group of mines eventually
releases more enemies on each floor, and since some of these enemies are
bosses, it's a good idea to be as quick as possible.
Floor 1 has a Core guarded by 4 Heavy Cannons. Floor 2 is a Heavy Cannon
Spawner guarded by 4 Cannons. Floors 3-5 are Cores guarded by Heavy Cannons,
Homing Cannons, and a Machine Gun Boss as Floor 5's Target. Behind the Cores
on Floor 5 are more mines. The bottom line clears the path to the final
3 targets - two Fast Bots and a Heavy Cannon Spawner - while the top line
opens a path to another spawner.

18 - MIP2
_________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Bounce/Napalm
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 1
T1: Box Frame
This is like a mirrored version MIP, only each Core has a line of bombs behind
it that open the next area. Make your way down to the bottom floor and push
the Box into the Box Frame to clear the level.
Floor 1 is guarded by Cannons. Floor 2 contains a Drill Boss. Floor 3 has
TWO Cores guarded by seven Heavy Bounce Cannons. Floor 4 has a Cannon Boss,
and Floor 5 has a Machine Gun Boss. Floor 6 has a Heavy Cannon, a Firework
Cannon, and four Firework Bounce Cannons. The final floor has four Heavy
Homing Cannons, two Fast Bots, and a lot of Mines.
As a side note, it is possible to destroy the bombs behind a Core without
actually destroying the Core first.
Also, if you get low on health, Floor 6 has a Life 1 Box Spawner.

T7: Core
Make sure you can counterattack well before you try this one.
First, use two EX attacks to destroy the enemies in the first room, then
take out the Core. Be quick, because if you accidentally set of the bombs, a
Rock Box will eventually seal off the room from the rest of the stage.
Once out of the room, Use EX attacks and counterattacks to destroy all the
enemies and boxes in the stage (except the Big Bot). Once the stage is
cleared of enemies, release the Big Bot and destroy it. The Gate in the corner
should now open, allowing you to destroy the last Core to clear the stage.

targets.
Row 1 has three Cannons, Row 2 has four Enemies, Row 3 has five Bounce
Enemies, Row 4 has six Homing Enemies, and Row 5 has 13 Napalm Enemies. After
the last row, there's a Life 2 Box to restore your health.

T1-T3: Ninja Bot
Start the bomb chain, then simply shoot down any enemies in your way. Feel
free to use EX attacks at will, as there are a ton of Wood Boxes in this

T1-T2: Core
Start with the left side first. Use counterattacks to quickly clear the area
out. Before taking out the Core, be sure to take out the Ninja Bot Spawner
to avoid excess damage. Once the left side is clear, use angled Bounce shots
to take out the Bat Bots and other enemies on the right side. If you have at
least half your life bar full upon reaching the last corridor, simply dash
straight to the Core. Otherwise, take out the Ninja Bots first.

T1-T6: Machine Gun Boss
T7: Fast Bot
As the bomb chain runs around the chain the targets will be revealed in the
order of 4, 6, 3, 1, 5, 2 (all Machine Gun Bosses), and finally 7 (the large
Fast Bot). Take out each one as its revealed to clear the stage.
Counterattacks will make the job easier, and there are various Life 1 Boxes
in the outer areas of the stage.

Targets: 5
T1: Fast Bot
T2: Homing Enemy
T3: Ninja Bot
T4: Napalm Bot
T5: Bat Bot
Think of this as Gate Fetish on a larger, horizontal scale. Each row of Gates
is blocked by a huge boss enemy (except the first row - just a Wood Box in
front of you). First is a Big Bot, then a Cannon Boss, then a Drill Boss,
then a Machine Gun Boss, then finally the five targets.

T3-T4: Longai-O
TWO Longai-O's... ugh. If you can time it right, a counterattack will kill
them while they're dashing. Once they (somehow) go down, use EX attacks and
Bounce shots to take down the Big Bot, then destroy the Core in the bottom
right corner to clear the stage.

Recommended Setting:

Targets: 2
T1-T2: Longai-O
FIVE Longai-O's... and THREE are MASSIVE...
If you're quick and lucky, you can take out the first Longai-O before the
larger ones are released, then boost dash your way to the other target. It
takes a few tries, but eventually you'll get it.
______________
27 - The Earth
______________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Napalm/Bounce
Normal: Break/Bounce
Targets: 6
T1-T2: Longai-O
T3: Big Bot
T4: Fast Bot
T5-T6: Ninja Bot
All the targets (except the Big Bot) are massive, so be prepared. First,
destroy as much of the "earth" as you can without destroying the Life 2 Box
in the middle or causing the targets to move. Once most of the field is
cleared up, slowly mov up one side of the screen until you notice a target
rush toward you on the mini-map (either T1 or T2). The ones that move first
are the Longai-O. Take them out with quick EX attacks during a dash at the
bottom of the screen. Next, the Fast Bot and Ninja Bots should rush you.
The Fast Bot dies easy enough - just keep shooting at it and it will take
damage once it stops moving - and the Ninja Bots can die from a pseudo-two way
attack; shoot Bounce shots into a wall behind the Ninja Bots, then attack them
from the in front until they are hit from behind from the bounced shots, then
keep attacking until they are gone. Now just take down the Big Bot to clear
the stage.

1-8: Box Frame
You'll have to push each box into a box frame. Each letter will go to its
corresponding number (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.).
To start, push E right three spaces, then head to the right side of the stage
and push B right two spaces. Now move above Box A and push it down two spaces.

Targets: 1
T1: Wood Box
Note that, except for the area around T1, ANY white space on the map is a
bomb. First, tap your Freeze EX before the stage actually starts to keep the
mines from blowing up for a second, then dash (NOT boost dash!)
in the direction of the arrows and destroy any boxes that block your path.
Use ONLY TWO SHOTS, or else you'll blow up other mines. For the groups of
three boxes, try not to move them too much or you might hit the large bombs.
Make your way to the * and you'll be safe. As I stated above,
DON'T use Napalm...
...unless you want the easy way out. It turns out that if you hit
the first box with ONE Napalm shot, only the top row of bombs will explode,
meaning you can quickly move up to avoid the lower blasts. Now you can wait
for the target to blow up (or collect the fruits if you're going for a high
score).
________________
4 - Breakin' Out
________________
Recommended Setting: Anything
Targets: 1
T1: Spawner
Boost dash your way upward, using the wood boxes to push you way through the
metal boxes. This is the hard part, and it seems to take a little luck to make
your way up. Once through, simply destroy the spawner at the top to
clear the stage.
________________
5 - Move the Box
________________
Recommended Setting: A normal Bounce shot is all you need.
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Move both Boxes down, then aim down and right into the small opening and fire.
Once the wall is destroyed, just boost into the core.\\]=

3): Ignore 1 and 2 and go straight to the next part.
Do any combination of the above steps, then move to the * and aim down and
right and just keep shooting and/or using EX while moving around near the
opening and eventually you'll hit the bombs.

7 - Bullet's Reach

Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Just like in Which is Moved?, you don't have to move any boxes. Just aim
down and right into the small opening. Use an EX to take out the top row of
bombs, then just keep firing and move around near the opening until the
bottom row is destroyed. Now just destroy the core.
_____________
8 - Play Ball
_____________
Recommended Setting: Anything
Targets: 1
T1: Prefab
Boost dash into the baseball to launch it up and over the wall, then hope it
hits the mines near the bombs below you. Otherwise, try again until it works.
________________
9 - No Touching!
________________
Recommended Setting: Anything
Targets: 1
T1: Core
You have to boost dash through the ENTIRE level and follow the path set by the
blue diamonds. Get to the core before the boxes drop to clear the stage.
A good idea is to try this stage in Slow Mode a few times. You can either
work on your timing while in Slow Mode or save a replay and then play it back
and mimic the motions until your reflexes seem good enough.
_______________
10 - Cannon-ism
_______________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 4
T1-T4: Cannon Boss
If your reflexes are good, two fully charged counter attacks are all you need.
Otherwise, use two quick EX attacks (around 55-60) to kill the Cannon Bosses
above and below you, then simply use diagonal shots to kill the other two
targets.

_________________
15 - Puzzle Fever
_________________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 8
T1-T4: Life 2
T5-T8: Life 1
First, use an EX attacke of about 55-60 aimed up and left; this clears all the
life boxes above you except T8. To destroy T8, line yourself up with where the
Bomb Box was located above you and quickly boost dash down. Next you must
release another EX attack (about 50) towards it in just the right spot.
If you look at the background, you start out in front of an orange trangle
shape with another orange half-triangle below it, then a triangle that's
half black and half orange. You must shoot the second EX attack about when
Bangai-O is lined up with the top of the orange portion of the lower full
triangle. It might take a few tries, but it should work.
After the second EX attack, boost dash down to destroy the last Life 2 Box,
then unleash EX attacks towards the last Life Box to clear the stage.
This technique doesn't always work, and I bet there's a better way to do this,
but I know this works about 4 out of 10 times.

C. - Other Stages
_________________
Everything else this game has to throw at you. 122 (!) stages. A good idea
Would be to start with stages 106-122, as these are the Tutorial stages, thus
they're insanely easy to beat (well, #122 is still tough).
____________
1 - The Face
____________
Recommended Setting: All Break/Bounce
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Core
First, bust your way across the stage to the T3 Core and destroy it, then
work your way down to the T1 Core. Once T1 is destroyed, backtrack all the
way back to your starting point, then work you way down to T2 and destroy
the final Core. This path will keep you away from most of the enemies,
including the massive Machine Gun Boss waiting at the bottom of the stage.
__________
2 - Sessyu
__________
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Core
The real issue with this level is the MASSIVE Machine Gun Boss that starts
right by you. Start out by dashing towards the lower right corner. Use
counterattacks to take out the Drill Boss, Mechs, and other enemies between
you and the T2 Core. Now make you way right to reach the T1 Core guarded by
Firework Cannons. Now you just have to take out the Machine Gun Boss in
order to reach the last Core. The best plan would be to use the Machine Gun
Enemies nearby to fuel a large counterattack at the enemy, taking it down in a
few launches. Once the Boss is down, just take out the other Firework Cannons
and destroy the T3 Core to end the stage.
________
3 - Sabu
________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Bounce/Napalm
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 2
T1: Core
First, take out the Air Mines and Mega Mines in front of you, then work on
destroying the Mechs to the right using EX attacks. Now make your way upward
and look for an opening to the other side of the wall. Pass through the
opening and destroy the T1 Core. While you're there, it's a good idea to shoot
through the small opening in the wall to take out the Fast Bots. Now make
your way to the left side of the stage and take out the large Mega Mine and
any other enemies in the way of the opening at the top of the stage. Once
you have an opening, dash around to the T2 Core and destroy it to clear the
stage.
__________________
4 - Space Messsage
__________________
Recommended Settings: All Bounce/Break
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Remove the bomb chain, then shoot Bounce shots upward until it looks safe,
then destroy the Core to complete the stage.
__________________
5 - Soccer Pyramid
__________________
Recommended Setting: Any
Targets: 8
T1-T8: Ninja Bot
Just keep boost dashing right to hit the soccer balls into the Ninja Bots.
Simple.
________________
6 - Smash 'n See
________________
Recommended Settings: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Big Bot
First, take out the smaller Big Bots to the sides by shooting at a
fixed position straight above them. From here, the Big Bot will take damage
with every other slash of its sword. As for the large Big Bot, if the top row
of Huts are still intact, you can stay to the side and shoot straight down;
the shots will bounce into the Big Bot from behind and eventually kill it.
____________________
7 - Three, Two, One!
____________________
Recommended Setting: All Break/Bounce
Targets: 1
T1: Core
You must break you way through five rooms and reach the target Core before the
bomb line releases the Rock Boxes to block your path. Use EX attacks and
counterattacks to quickly clear out each room.
______________
8 - T-Minus 10
______________
Recommended Setting: All Break/Bounce
Targets: 6
T1-T4: Machine Gun Enemy
T5-T6: Core
Same as Three, Two, One!, only the enemies are bigger, and there's only one
room. Use EX attacks and counterattacks to destroy the enemies. Once the
enemies are cleared away, destroy the two Cores before the Rock Boxes fall.
___________________
9 - Push The Limits
___________________
Recommended Setting: Any, although a Reflect EX could help.
Targets: 1
T1: Core
After setting off the bomb chain, you have to boost dash through the columns
of Boxes as they fall in each room. You need to be close enough to dash
through befor the last Rock Boxes fall, but far enough away to keep from being
killed by the bombs. Once through the last room, destroy the Machine Gun
Enemies and Cores to clear the stage.
____________
10 - 3BR APT
____________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Napalm/Bounce
Normal: Break/Bounce
Targets: 7
T1-T7: Drill Boss
Start the first bomb chain and set up an EX attack. When the explosions
surround you, release a counterattack to clear out the room quickly. Repeat
this for each room to get through relatively unschathed. For the last room,
counterattack until you run out of EX, then keep shooting until all the
Drill Bosses are destroyed.
___________________
11 - Don't Give Up!
___________________
Recommended Settings:
EX: Freeze/Break
Normal: Napalm/Break
Targets: 8
T1-T4: Core
T5-T8: Machine Gun Enemy
IMMEDIATELY un-MIX your Normal weapons and use Freeze, otherwise you WILL die.
Now move to a corner and use Break EX's to take out the enemies. Freeze the
action every so often to keep your health up. Once the Machine Gun Enemies
are destroyed, take out the Ants and Ant Spawners, then destroy the Cores.
_____________________
12 - My Box, My Enemy
_____________________
Map: Coming Soon...?
Targets: 5
T1: Box Frame
T2: Machine Gun Boss
T3-T4: Core
T5: Box Frame
I might draw a map in a future update if I think it's necessary.
First, destroy all the bomb chains in the top right section (especially the
one at the top of the screen) and kill the two Ninja Bots and Enemies WITHOUT
SETTING OFF THE LOWER RIGHT BOMB CHAIN! If that chain starts up, restart the
level. Now go to the Box and push it the following way:
Up four times,
Left twice,
Down three times,
Left twice,
Up twice,
Left twice,
Up four times,
Right five times,
Up twice,
Right four times,
Down twelve times,
Left ten times,
And finally down twice.
Now go to the lower left section and set off the bomb chain, then immediately
boost dash around to the lower left corner, otherwise a Rock Box will block
your path. Take out the nearby Machine Gun Boss to destroy the Gate to the
third room. A Life 2 Box will drop down in case you need health.
The rest of the level will contain both massive and mini enemies. Clear out
the lower left room's mines and enemies to open the final Gate. The next small
corridor will have a Life 1 Box to restore some health.
Clear out the enemies in the last room, destroy the Cores, and finally push
the Box in the following manner:
Up once,
Right six times,
Up three times,
Left once,
Up three times,
Right once,
Up twice,
Left four times,
Down six times,
Left three times,
Up twice,
Left twice,
Down six times,
Left twice,
Up ten times,
And finally right twice.
The level is cleared once the Box is in the Box Frame.
______________

Recommended Settings:
EX: Napalm/Bounce
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 8
T1-T8: Tank

take out the corner tanks. Now remove the walls and counterattack until the
target tanks are destroyed.
____________________
19 - Bunch o' Drills
____________________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 4
T1-T4: Drill Boss
All you need is three fully charged EX attacks. Simple enough. Make sure to
hold L or R immediately after the previous one fires, otherwise you might
not survive.
____________________
20 - I Hate Bat Bots
____________________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Napalm/Bounce
Normal: Any
Targets: 2
T1-T2: Mega Mine
First, use a counterattack on the shots launched by the Heavy Bounce Cannons,
Then launch a second counterattack on the shots reflected by the Bat Bots.
The second attack should destroy the Mega Mines.
_______________
21 - Drill Boss
_______________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Drill Boss
Use counterattacks and fully charged EX attacks to take out the three
Drill Bosses. Be sure to watch out for the Air Mines.
___________
22 - Spikey
___________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 4
T1-T4: Spawner
Use fully charged EX attacks to take out the Mega Mine Spawners one at a time.
Otherwise the Mega Mines will probably overwhelm you.
_____________
23 - Spikey 2
_____________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 4
T1-T4: Spawner
Exactly the same as Spikey, but the Spawners launch TWO Mega Mines each.
_____________
24 - Ant Farm
_____________
Recommended Setting: All Bounce/Napalm
Targets: 8
T1: Spawner
T2-T8: Core
Use EX attacks and boost dashes to rush to the top of the stage and take out

Cores to clear the stage.
__________________
25 - Getting Antsy
__________________
Recommended Setting: All Bounce/Napalm
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Another Ant stage? Well, there's two more later, so get use to it. Use Napalm
shots to take out the Ants as you descend into the hill. Use EX attacks for
larger groups and Spawners to keep the action from getting too large. Take
down the Core at the bottom to clear the stage.
________________
26 - Cannon Boss
________________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 3
T1-T3: Cannon Boss
Just keep counterattacking until the Cannon Bosses are destroyed.
_________________
27 - Batting Cage
_________________
Recommended Setting: All Napalm/Bounce
Targets: 6
T1-T6: Cannon Boss
Open each corridor, then counterattack as the Cannon Bosses shoot at you.
Simple enough.
_____________________
28 - Strike! Yer Out!
_____________________
Recommended Setting: Bat/Reflect is all you need.
Targets: 3
T1: Big Bot
Use Bat and Reflect to move the baseballs and Bat Bots to the far end of the
stage. Use these projectiles to take out the Big Bots and clear the stage.
________________
29 - Bat 'n Ball
________________
Recomnmended Setting: Bat/Reflect is all you need.
Targets: 5
T1-T3: Big Bot
T4-T5: Spawner
Just like Strike! Yer Out!: Bat/Reflect everything in your path and take out
the Big Bots and Spawners to clear the stage.
_____________
30 - Longai-O
_____________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Napalm/Bounce
Normal: Break/Bounce
Targets: 1
T1: Longai-O
There are THREE Longai-o to take down, each one bigger than the last... the
target is at 4x size. Good luck. Seriously.
Actually, the usual "EX during their dash" strategy works best here for
all three Longai-O's. Each Longai-O is separated by a column of Gates, and you
have buildings and Life Boxes to destroy to open the gates, allowing you to
replenish your health and EX.
_______________
31 - Big Circle
_______________
Recommended Setting: Any
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Way too easy, just boost dash to the Core and EX.
_____________________
32 - Balls 'n Baddies
_____________________
Recommended Setting: Any
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Simply boost dash into the soccer balls repeatedly until the Enemies are
all destroyed and the Gate disappears
_____________
33 - baNGai-O
_____________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Reflect/Napalm
Normal: Any
Targets: 6
T1-T3: Fast Bot
T4-T6: Bat Bot
Oddly enough, you can use Reflect on the enemies at the bottom of the screen
and start a chain reaction. Use Reflect on the enemies, then quickly hit them
with a Napalm EX. This should destroy everything as long as the Fast Bots were
hit by Reflect - make sure they're not moving to ensure this.
_________________
34 - Four Stories
_________________
Recommended Settings:
EX: Napalm/Break
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Another Gate level. Take out each row of enemies to remove the Gates blocking
the next set. Be careful on the last set, as there are multiple Machine Gun
Enemies positioned in the same spot. Your best bet in this level is to bounce
shots up to each row of enemies and EX the last row.
_______________
35 - Core Score
_______________
Recommended Setting:
EX: Bounce/Napalm
Normal: Bounce/Break
Targets: 7
T1-T7: Spawner
Bounce shots upward to destroy as many enemies as you can, then use EX attacks
when down to Ninja Bots and Fast Bots. Pretty simple.
_________________
36 - Shoot 'em Up
_________________
Recommended Settings:
Method #1: All Break/Bounce
Method #2: Any, although Bat and Reflect might help
Targets: 1
T1: Core
If you want a challenge, use Method #1. If you're looking for the easy way
out, use Method #2
Method #1: Simply run and gun your way to the top of the stage. Use EX attacks
every so often to keep your health in check. Once you reach the top, take out
the Hut to clear the stage.
Method #2: Use boost dashes, Bat attacks, or Reflects to push the soccer balls
upward and block incoming shots and simply make your way to the Hut.
___________
37 - Batboy
___________
Recommended Settings: Reflect is all you need.
Targets: 1
T1: Bat Bot
Really simple: Walk forward and Reflect diagonally right then keep Reflecting
until the Bat Bot dies. If this doesn't work, start using Bat attacks to
finish it off.
__________________
38 - Wooden Boxing
__________________
Recommended Setting: Bounce is all you need.
Targets: 1
T1: Hut
This one's similar to Falling Rock. Destroy the Wood Boxes and make your way
underneath the Rock Boxes. Once you're over the Hut, simply shoot down and the
shots will bounce into the Hut and destroy it.
__________
39 - Manda
__________
Recommended Settings: Any
Targets: 3
T1: Spawner
This reminds me of the gun walls in Gradius. Take out the surrounding Cannons,
then dash into the corridors containing the Spawners and destroy them.
_______________
40 - Hate Grows
_______________
Recommended Settings: All Bounce/Break
Targets: 1
T1: Core
Get to the top of the stage, set up an opening to the center area, and bounce
shots inside to take everything out without taking much damage. Once the
coast is clear, rush in and destroy the Core.

A very important note: DO NOT leave the starting chamber for ANY REASON!
that is, unless you WANT to face a massive Drill Boss Spawner.
First, lure the mini Drill Boss away from the Spawner to destroy the target,
then kill the Drill Boss. Now remove the wall and simply shoot forward.
Again, DO NOT LEAVE the room until the other Spawner is destroyed. Destroy
the mega Drill Boss Spawner and Laser Cannons to clear the level.

Targets: 7
T1-T5: Core
T6: Machine Gun Boss
T7: Core
Most. Evil. Level. Ever. (At least from the levels I've seen).
The first thing you'll notice in the level is the crapload of bullets that
are heading your way. The second thing you'll notice is the group of Fast Bots
rushing your way soon after you start. Use a counterattack to take down most
of the Cannons, and either use the Air Mines above you or use Bounce shots
to take down the Fast Bots. Once the bottom half is mostly clear, drop to the
lower left corner and destroy the T6 Machine Gun Boss (Bounce shots work
perfectly here), then take out the T1 and T4 Cores. You'll likely release the
Longai-O by now, so take it out (somehow) and then destroy the T5 Core.
Next, take out the Firework Cannons in the top right corner to reach the
T2 and T7 Cores. Finally, destroy the cannons in the upper left area and
destroy the T3 Core to clear the stage. Try not to release the Boss enemies
in the top left corner (unless you want to face a Drill Boss, a Cannon Boss,
and a massive Big Bot), but if you save this core for last, it shouldn't be a
big deal.
You could take out the T3 Core before the T2 and T7 Cores, but it's easier to
dodge the Air Mines than the Boss enemies.

There are four paths to choose, each holding different types of enemies. The
top left has only Cannons, the top right has only Homing Cannons, the bottom
left has Enemies and Bounce Enemies, and the bottom right has Machine Gun
Enemies and Homing Enemies. Personally, I'd say the top left route is the
easiest to clear. If you want to try taking out other rooms, there's a Life 2
Box at each exit. In any case, make your way to the bottom and destroy the
Core to clear the stage.

anything in your path. After passing the first Core, the level turns into
another Enemy Ambush area; use angled shots to make it through here easily.
There are two ways through the final chamber:
1) Use a Napalm/Homing EX to overwhelm the Machine Gun Enemies...
2) ...or launch EX attacks into the Cores, then counterattack the reflected
bullets directly at the Machine Gun Enemies.

second Drill Boss, Bat Bot, Spawner, and Core with EX attacks to clear the
stage.

105 - Blue Triangle
___________________
Recommended Settings: All Bounce/Break
Targets: 7
T1: Core
T2: Machine Gun Boss
T3-T7: Spawner
Aim straight up at the beginning and you'll tak out all the enemies at the
beginning. Now start to make your way up and tak out any enemies, Cannons,
and Spawners you meet (especially the target Spawner). Next, take down the
Machine Gun Boss and blow up the nearby bomb chain to open the next corridor.
Now take out the Cannons in the corridor, take the health from the Life 1 Box
if necessary, and proceed to the next Core. Destroy the Core and the bomb
chain behind it to open the path below you. Take out the Cannon Boss and Air
Mine Spawners as you head towards the center area. Note that the Spawner
below the Cannon Boss cannot be destroyed if the Rock Box falls onto it.
Next, take out the Drill Boss and any Enemies and Cannons behind it. Now
enter the center area and take out the three Spawners to finish the level.
-------------------------
The rest of the levels are the Tutorial missions. Either use the strategies
from that section of the guide or use the Break/Bounce combo to get through
these stages.

D. - Custom Stage
_________________
If those other stage weren't enough for you, you can play stages you create
yourself or download from others.
________________
E. - Load Replay
________________
Watch your favorite moments from this game (whether you saved them yourself
or downloaded them from others). You can have up to 10 replays at any time.
_______________________________________________________________________________
4 - Edit Mode
_______________________________________________________________________________
Basically the Select-invoked Edit Mode from Free Play, but this mode allows
you to keep the modifications or stages you create.
You can make your own stage or modify any stage already in the game.
_______________________________________________________________________________
5 - Sound Load
_______________________________________________________________________________
Haven't actually tried this yet, but from what I understand, any replay or
stage data can be sent to or received from a PC or another DS running the game.
The data is converted into sound and played into a microphone for storage. A
DS can then hear the sound and convert in back into the original data.
_______________________________________________________________________________
6 - Options
_______________________________________________________________________________
Not, much to say here...
Sound Test - Listen to the 16 songs or 117 (!) sounds in the game.
Backup Data - Delete any created stages or replays... or all your data if
you're into that sort of thing. Remember, anything you delete WILL be lost
forever.
BGM/Background - Turn music or backgrounds on or off. With the background off,
every stage will have a black background instead of whatever it normally is.

7 - F.A.Q.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Q: Why is this section so empty?
A: I haven't gotten any questions yet, so there's nothing to put here yet.
Ask me something if you want it put here.

ideas (other than what was actually in the game). You can print this out
for your own needs, just don't sell it. Ask me if you want to put this

respond, that's my fault (usually I either forget or my internet connection
is being stupid... and then I forget anyway) so just try again until I respond.
