How to Play
Extra Lives
If you are able to pick up an extra Battery at any time in which your Time Suit Power Meter is fully powered (at 5), the Power Meter will revert back to one and you will be awarded an additional life.
Special Controls
Pressing down on the CONTROL PAD will allow you to dodge most enemy fire without leaving the ground. Nevertheless, be sure and watch your feet!
To fire below you (which is particularly helpful when trying to open shafts), press the B Button to jump. Then, while in mid-air, press down on the CONTROL PAD + Y to fire.
Climbing
If you appear to be stuck at a "dead-end", try scaling the wall. In most cases where climbing is possible, you will see the ends of the ladder rungs running vertically down the edge of the wall.
There are times, however, where climbing is possible although no ladder appears.
