This action-adventure game follows
Spider-Man as he patrols New York City, thwarting crimes and battling iconic villains like Doctor Octopus,
Rhino, and
Mysterio. Players take on the role of the web-slinger to complete story missions that unfold a narrative of urban chaos, personal stakes, and high-stakes confrontations. In addition to the main campaign, the game offers various side missions where players help prevent crimes such as bank robberies and muggings to gain experience.
Getting Started
• Make sure the POWER switch is OFF.
• Insert the Spider-Man 2™ Game Pak into the Game Boy® Advance slot as described in your Nintendo Game Boy® Advance instruction manual. • Turn the POWER switch ON.
• To skip the introductory sequence, press START.
Note: The Spider-Man 2™ Game Pak is for the Game Boy® Advance system only. Main Menu
New Game: This is where you begin Spidey's adventure. In this menu, select a game slot to use and the game begins. If you select a save slot with an existing game, you'll be asked if you wish to replace it. Watch out! Replacing a saved game permanently deletes it. Load Game: From here you can load a previously saved game. When you load a saved game, you begin at the beginning of the last level you attempted. From the Load Game screen you can also choose to erase previously saved games, but be careful-any secrets unlocked may be erased with your saved game!
Options: Select Options to turn the music and sound on or off.
Secrets: This one you'll have to find out on your own!
Lives and Health
If Spidey receives too much damage in combat, he'll lose a life. If you have any lives remaining, Spidey will respawn close to where he died. If Spidey dies with no lives left, it's Game Over. You can retry the current level from the Continue screen or by selecting your saved game using the Load option in the Main Menu. Remember to pick up extra lives and health power-ups throughout the levels to prepare Spidey for those sticky situations. 3D Description
Spider-Man 2™ features a 3D “Hub” world where you can swing to the next chapter of the game or take on side missions. Side missions are marked by the Spider-Sense symbol, allowing you to gain experience by stopping crime. 3D HUD
Spider-Sense in the 3D World
Unlike Spider-Sense in the 2D world, Spidey's 3D Spider-Sense alerts you about side missions within the 3D Hub world. Touch the flashing icon to go into the side mission. If you ignore your Spider-Sense in the 3D world, you won't get a chance to play that specific side mission again after advancing to the next level. You'll miss out on that particular side mission and the chance to earn bonus points.
Experience System
Beating up bad guys and taking on Super Villians is hard work. In Spider-Man 2™, you're rewarded for your good deeds. Use the Experience System to unlock a variety of new moves and bonuses that make Spider-Man even more powerful. During a mission you can acquire experience points for completing objectives like defeating thugs, rescuing hostages, taking pictures and more. After completing a mission, the Experience Distribution screen will display your available points.
Choose a new move or improve an existing ability like increasing your jump height, or adding more health or more web fluid.
