R-Types - Strategy Guide (Page 03)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for R-Types - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The boss of this stage is huge that alone it is the entire stage. You fight against the back of the ship which fires massive energies of debris and then make your way to the bottom of the ship, and then at the front end of the ship to destroy the main core of the Warship, which is vital to much of the Warship's movements. >From the back of the ship, once you see the shuttle, throw the Force Pod until it is destroyed. Don't call it back yet. Once you are about to fight your way under the ship, then make sure that you have the Ground Attack Laser equipped since the enemies appear dead-close. You will be able to get the Air Attack Laser at the middle of the ship's bottom battle. When you get to the front end of the ship, try to get your Force Pod at the back of the ship so that you can attack the Front End. Be careful of their lasers, though. CORE ---- The Core will fire massive amounts of energies while the weak point is closed. The energies can be destroyed. Once the eye opens up, slam the core with everything you got, but don't rush because there is no time limit while destroying the heart of the spaceship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A tough stage because of the cellulose that is laden throughout the base. From this stage on, you are on your own. Nearing the end of the stage, you have to carefully navigate through the Cellulose that is blocking your way. Use energy shots to destroy the Cellulose and make your way to the fight against the Compiler. COMPILER -------- The blue orb is their weak point. This is one tough boss because of its massive attacks. When it splits up, try to destroy one unit before it reattaches, but don't get sandwiched. You may need to abuse the Force on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mysterious Crustaceans inhabit the Den. There are worm-like creatures that will explode if you destroy the head, and creatures that act like faster cancers. Also, crustaceans that fire lasers will come up to you so hold your ground. BELLMITE -------- Tough boss because the shells of the boss will try to destroy you. You cannot damage the central part of the boss unless you destroy the outer shells first. Don't let Bellmite corner you or that could be your last. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The transport system moves really fast and you don't have much time to destroy the transport systems so just avoid them. It's hard to maneuver without losing lives because at times the corridor may be narrow and the transport systems will give no room for error for almost all of the time. There are no boss characters in this area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Recycling Bin. The enemy attacks are quite severe here. They attack in many directions. Also, explosions will come up from time to time so keep on your guard. Your main concern is at the near-end of the stage where oodles and oodles of bugs will come up and attack you. BRONCO ------ You get no points for destroying the Bronco but you must destroy it anyway. Aim for the Blue Orb. Even no points is the case, you can still get points for destroying the Trash which shower around the area. Once enough trash is destroyed, then you can take the Bronco without any further problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This stage is really difficult. Enemies will come up at many directions attacking you at high speed. Also, beware of the revolving energy ball that travels around the air since it can't be broken. BYDO ---- When the mucus which is blocking the creature opens, throw your Force Pod and an Energy Shot at the same time, but be careful of another Win that is spitted right through his mouth. Now all you have to do is to carefully maneuver your R9 through the highly-infested area to save the Universe from Bydo Destruction forever. ======================================================================== R-TYPE II There's no need for excessive explanation here. It's just an enhanced version of the first R-Type released under the Irem Brand Name in both Japan and the US. Note: You are on your own in R-Type II so don't expect too many tips on this file. Feel free to e-mail me for tips if you want, though. Helpful rants were given right after beating R-Type II with a Game Shark Pro. For Game Shark Codes, please look up at which is Code Master's Game Shark Page. Also, please try and see if you can locate an Official R-Type Trilogy Page there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yet another base where the Bydo Empire is planning to re-multiply their forces hoping to destroy the universe once and for all. You will face hordes of Bydo Armada created from a combination of Bydo Flesh and biological energies. SUBATOMIC --------- Try to get a Diffusionary Wave Shot up close when the hatch opens up and move out of the way so that your R9 doesn't get toasted. The alternate way to destroy Subatomic is to let the Reflect Lasers and the Napalm Missiles do the work. Nullify the Blades and be careful of the beams that come out from the head. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You will face hordes of Kamikaze creatures. And then you will face multi-purpose tanks that become harder to destroy if you don't nullify them quickly. Then you will face hordes of Tadpoles from beneath the sea and Octupuses that fall down below the waterfalls. Now you will face a crab-like hombre that has severe attack patterns before reaching the final fight against Barakus. BARAKUS ------- The best way to destroy this fiend is to toss an Energy Shot at the orb-like neck at the top of the creature first, and then toss a Diffusion Shot up close once the creature's orb-like neck is at the bottom. If you don't destroy it quickly, be prepared to do some serious fighting underneath the sea and dodge its dive bombs that will kill you. Don't fight at the top because you will definitely lose there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An armada of spaceships will attack you with lasers, bombs, wave beams, and whatever you can think of. Hopefully, you should be able to destroy these Spaceship Elements before they cause further problems. However, you need to know when's the good time to have the Force Pod attached to your front or back because there will now be times when you have to attach the Force at your back. CORVETTE -------- The individual control pods provide power to the Corvette and shoot lasers that can't be blocked. The main ship has severe attacks so keep that in mind. Your best bet is to just concentrate on destroying the Control Pods while avoiding the severe attacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moving Platforms, deforming turrets, hard-to-destroy tanks, and a high speed tank called Rios is what creates the highly-resistant force of the Mining Field. The enemies will attack in full force so just concentrate on staying alive in this stage. RIOS ---- Maneuverability is important in this manner because the screen will scroll at high speed and it's weak point is at the center when it's exposed. Rios has several attacks from a spread laser to heet-seeking missiles. Not one of the easier bosses because of the scrolling of the landscapes and the high amount of attacks the tank generates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to the Puzzle Capital of R-Types II, where you see Insects create nest after nest of Scrap dust. Insects also devour Scrap Dust like the Tasmanian Devil from Warner Brother's Looney Tunes (Looney Tunes and Tasmanian Devil are copyrights of Warner Brothers). You have to determine whether you should destroy the Insects or not because this becomes a game of Logic on the first part of the stage. In the second part of the stage, maneuverability becomes tight and enemy attacks become even more severe. BLENDER ------- Destroy the three bubbles and the Blender is defeated. This boss is rather difficult because the platforms can destroy your R9 if the wall hits you. Maneuverability is extremely austere because every time the platform is touched by fire of any kind, it rotates. Also, there are enemies who will tilt the platforms, causing a disadvantage at times because you have to concentrate on the bubbles of the Blender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stage 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is totally hard. Not as hard as R-Type Delta (as foresaid on recent issues of PSM Magazine by Imagine Games Media), but the aliens will attack in full force. You will go up against strange worm-like creatures and a horde of strage cells in Part 1. Now you will go up against tight defense scouts that spit lots of debris that will prevent you from going deeper into the Empire Star. If you don't have enough power-ups, then this stage will be impossible to beat unless you have the Game Shark, OF COURSE!!! However, if you want a fair fight, then you definitely need Bits at the top and bottom of your ship. Insane feel of the Force is also required. My Advice: DON'T DIE AT ALL IN THIS STAGE!!! IF YOU RUN OUT OF LIVES LIKE HELL, THEN DON'T CONTINUE THE GAME!!! SINCE THIS IS A FAITHFULLY TRANSLATION OF R-TYPE II, YOU DON'T NEED LOTS OF QUARTERS--YOU ONLY NEED A MEMORY CARD TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS!!!! The Select Button will insert more credits if any and the Start Button will act as the Arcade's Start Buttons so don't get pissed if you lose lives like crazy on this stage. If you are playing this stage from R-Types, then no big deal, but if you are playing this stage at your local arcade, then have at least $80 handy. WOMB ---- You will have a difficult time with this boss because of the following reasons: * The Kidnapped R9's will try to destroy you when commanded by Womb to attack you. * Strange Cells will also attack. * Oodles of Energetic Debris will come through as well. Try to use Diffusion Shots and throw the Force at the two cores of the Womb and be sure to dodge the cells, the energetic debris, and the R9s that come up later on the stage. ======================================================================== THE DO'S AND DONT'S I just don't like it when people have the outdated versions of my FAQs. In order to put an end to all of this, from now on (as of today and lasting forever), this file can ONLY BE stocked on the following websites: * Verasnaship Interactive, * GameFAQs, * Secrets of the Game Sages, * Cheat Code Central, * Game Shark Code Creators Club, You can always get the latest version at Verasnaship first since I run the website for myself. GameFAQs does a good job keeping the files up-to-date at all times and is the most visited site for FAQ-related walkthroughs. Secrets of the Game Sages is a "Code-related" partner to GameFAQs since both GameFAQs and Secrets of the Game Sages share the same information. Cheat Code Central not only has codes, but up-to-date FAQs and Text-based Walkthroughs based upon marshmallow's knowledge. Finally, Game Shark Code Creators Club is a Game Shark site run under the Code Master to provide up-to-date Game Shark Codes and is a highly visited Game Shark Site. NOTE: I highly recommend that you get the Game Shark Pro since you will be doing a lot of browsing through the Game Shark Code Creators Club Web Site for cheats on how to "hack" through some insanely hard parts. However, the Game Shark will ONLY ruin the arcade feel of the CD Package so I don't recommend that you use a Game Shark if you are a hardcore R-Type Arcade Veteran. DONT'S: Never, ever, ever place this file directly onto your Internet Account as I'm now getting sick and tired of people trying to store the outdated version of my files. DO'S: You are permitted to create a link to any of these websites. Linking to GameFAQs is goverened by the Legal Disclaimer as foretold under the statement, "Linking Rights". I highly recommend that you make a link to my website so that people will always have the latest version of this work viewed right through their screen. The only permissible link that you can use to link to this file is as outlined as in the following: * (The Arcade Stable) Part of the reason why I'm doing this is because if you don't view an HTML Site, then you may not be able to run the ads that appear on top of the HTML Document, which IS NO FAIR TO THE WEBMASTER. For details about linking rules, visit which is Brad Templeton's Linking Rights Essay. ======================================================================== RULES FOR GIVING SUGGESTIONS One time when I was forced to update another FAQ for Super GT by Sega, I was surprised to see that I was driving from Helen Keller.
