Ambush, tuned Mandarin
Traps (Red Alert) are marked on the map with a rotating asterisk with many rays. They come in three forms:
Soldiers emerging from emptiness and jumping from above
Throw a shield and shoot from the bow.
Soldiers and a robot flying and firing rockets
Kill the soldier and in the jump, beat the robot with your foot.
Robot with barrels and a robot shooting fire
Three times, break the barrels over the head of the robot. When the robot explodes, its wreckage will begin to run and shoot. Further reprisals of labor will not be. The robot with fire will die after several hits into it. Keep in mind that a burning robot is dangerous - it will explode.
If the twisting stars interfere with your progress, then move to their free place, and then return with the "Return" item in the "Pause" mode. The asterisks will be in new places.
A girl named Vesp
Vousp does not fight, but he helps you with valuable advice, reports on which city was attacked.
Do not miss boxes. In the boxes lie crystals and hearts. Small hearts restore your energy by two points. Large - completely. For a hundred collected crystals, the hero gets life and strength. If Captain America recruits two hundred crystals, the shield will fly around him at the throw, while the Hawk with two hundred crystals at the end of the arrows will have dynamites.
Darkness in Charleston
In a room in Charleston, pay attention to the three light switches - signs with the inscription "ON". The enemy will try to turn off the lights and leave you in the dark. As soon as the enemy jumps from above, throw the shield and sit down. The enemy will shoot two cartridges and an energy charge, then take off. Immediately after this, get up and go to meet him, without stopping. If the charge touches the ground, it means that the enemy lands - turn back and repeat your actions from the beginning.
Fire in Philadelphia
Do not fall into it - you will not like it.
A safe place in New York
In the room of New York immediately jump is not the highest platform. Wiltron (Viltron), your opponent, will trample down the houses from one jump to the ground, but he is powerless against the chosen platform.
In the fight against Wiltron, it is better to use the Hawk.
Stand on the platform on the left. When the enemy will fly over you, shoot, but do not go a step.
Fight against the Crossbones
In a room with an enemy, you need not only to shoot, but also to watch, as if you do not fall on the head of a large ball. Karatist is not dangerous when running slowly, but in the presence of super-speed - beware!
Tips
- In addition to hordes of common enemies, settlements are controlled by serious opponents, so as soon as possible, combine the two heroes in the team - and the prizes will be easier to collect, and with the bosses to cope.
- At the first level, collect the diamonds, and when you reach the end, press START. RETURN appears. Set the arrow on it and start the stage again, and again, collect the diamonds. You will have the force of impact, energy, arrows with a bomb point. Your shield will start to fly around you and cover from two sides. For this, the first level will have to be repeated many times, it's pretty boring, but if you want to survive.In the battle with Wiltron, fight on the left edge of the highest platform.
- To destroy a monster with a barrel, you must first knock down the barrel three times, and then finish it off, dodging the shots.
- It is better to open the top containers with a kick in a jump.
- If on the map the Captain or the archer slowly blink, then for their further advancement it is necessary to find the first letter of the name of the flashing hero.
- In the variant of the game "Battle Mode" you can arrange a small fighting game between all the characters.
