TV REJECTS
PRE-HISTORY CHANNEL
Go back to your distant roots when reptiles ruled the world and . . . yada, yada, yada. Hey, that guy could almost buy beer with my ID.
SCREAM TV
Who's ready to turn a headless 12-year-old knife-wielding brat into bratwurst? Hey, the little zombie has a discipline problem, OK? Meet a guy who lost his soul and other body parts. Check out some artwork that's worth dismembering. You gonna choose what's behind Door #1, Door #2 or Door #200?
CIRCUIT CENTRAL
Pay homage to all those strange Sci-Fi shows that snatched control of your TV set. Grab a charge and hit the launchers.
ROCKET CHANNEL
There are billions and billions of ways to get the intergalactic shaft here. GEXIE needs air!
TOON TV
It's open season on rabbits but you're a lizard, right? Beware of flowers bearing mallets. Drop into a hutch for a makeover. Those ears are just you!
KUNG-FU THEATER
Grab some take-out and then turn some guy into Kung Fu Chicken. Pulling out chest hair is no fair.
REZOPOLIS
Look out for Copafeelbots. After you see what Rez has to offer, you'll run to Rupert begging for shelter.
THIS GECKO MOVES
JUMP (DEFAULT X)
Use to reach high platforms.
TAILBOUNCE (DEFAULT X)
Tap the button twice and hold for AIR GEX.
TAILWHIP (DEFAULT ■)
Use to dismember enemies and destroy objects. Some monsters love punishment; they will hold out for several whacks before disintegrating.
EAT BUG (DEFAULT ●)
Use tongue to grab flies into your mouth and down the hatch.
WALL CLIMBING
Jump while pressing the Directional buttons toward a wall or ceiling. GEX will stick with true gecko grit.
Note: GEX's suction-cup paws can only stick to certain surfaces.
KARATE KICK
Run, hold down L2 or R2, and when ready, press Jump to leap huge spans and kick some hairy monster butt.
CHECKPOINTS
Although GEX loves reruns, replaying the same area over and over can be frustrating.
To make your TV trippin' a little easier, in some of the larger levels GEX will come across Checkpoint TVs containing checkered flags.
Run past one of these TVs and hit it with a Tailwhip to "mark your spot" in the level.
Then if GEX loses a life, you will restart the level from that spot instead of from the beginning.
SCREEN ICONS
LIVES
When GEX gains or loses a Life, his number of Lives Remaining appears. GEX starts out with five Lives. Run out of Lives and your show is cancelled.
