Level TVs
GEX enters the main levels through these TVs. On the lower left side of each TV is the number of Remotes required to enter the level. On the lower right side, you'll see the number of Remotes collected so far from the level.
Bonus TVs
It'll cost you to enter these TVs. First, GEX must collect Bonus Coins. The number needed to enter the Bonus Level is shown on the lower left side of each TV.
Once in the Bonus game, you'll have a short time to complete a mini-mission. When you succeed, a Secret Code will appear on the lower right side of the TV. Write the code on your palm to use later when the GEXVault has been opened.
Secret TVs
Four secret levels are hidden throughout the GEXCaves. Successfully complete all four to open the GEXVault.
GEXVault
In the main GEXCave is a secret GEXVault with four empty slots on the door. After GEX bags all four Vault collectibles from the Secret Levels, the GEXVault will open. Inside, you'll enter the Secret Codes won in the Bonus Levels.

When GEX enters a level, a list of missions appears. Use the Directional buttons to highlight the mission you want to attempt, and press the X button. A hint will be revealed on how to obtain the Remote for that mission.
