The first part of this level is a room where you have to beat any and everyone that comes at you. This isn't
altogether too difficult, just annoying and sometimes frustrating. The benefit, however, is that
this room is chock full o' money. Yep, by the time I got through I had over 100,000 V-Points. It was
also at this point that I realized that you could by increases for your Life Meter. I'm such an idiot.
Well, with all of this money, go ahead and do that. After I Powered Up I had 11 hearts in my meter. That would've
been helpful ages ago and I'll be sure to put it into the introduction for this walkthrough.
Anyway, once you have all of the enemies taken care of you need to do a Spinning Ground attack with a Slow Mode right
at the end onto each of the 3 switches. You see, at first, I couldn't figure out how to activate the switches as
I was holding down the Slow mode throughout my Spinning Ground Attack. Having only one bar of VFX meter didn't
help so I discovered the 2 Red Bottles that are in this room. These are helpful. You can get them even
if all of the enemies are dead by Mach Speed Punching one of the moving platforms near a Pink Box. But, you don't need them.
The key here is to get up as high as you can above each of the switches. Then, double jump and do a Ground Spinning Attack
(Jump + Zoom). Right before you are to make impact with the switch add the Slow in. This will be enough to activate the switch.
Once all three switches are activated...move on.
In this next room, you'll have 2 cyber tanks. Don't worry, they're the same as regular tanks. Just Slow mode
and hit the bullet back. However, this time you have some Black Ninjas to deal with. I hate these guys.
For the most part I just ignored them. Be aware that above you there are some V-Films and Full Healths. When
you defeat the tanks move on.
Up next is a cylinder room where you have to fight two Leos. Make sure to grab all of the V-Films and to go all
the way to the top where there are 4 Pink Boxes (3 on the ground, one above with an Extra Life in it) with goodies in them. To defeat each Leo just dodge the attack,
break the shield, dodge 5 consecutive spinning attacks and then pound on him. It took me 7 Slow + Zoom + Hold Punches
to defeat him and you can get all 7 in on one try. If you fail on one try, just repeat. The next door will open.
Break Time!
SAVE!
Again, buy as many extra Life Meter Hearts as you can. At this point I have 12. In this next section you will
be on a moving platform. Grab as many V-Films as you can along the way while beating up on the progressively harder
enemies. Then, at the end is a Joker. Just keep pounding on the Joker. You shouldn't have much of a problem with him.
The most annoying part is the fire shooter and the laser beam. Once the Joker is defeated, hop up on top
of the fire shooter and use your Mach Speed on the slot machine to get your 3 "V"s. Go through the next door.
In this room you have to punch rockets at the ships out in space. First, though, take care of the Yellow Mask Guys.
They will periodically reappear during the fight, so take them out as they come along. What you need to do
is hop up on one of the 3 rocket launcher pads and in Slow mode, punch the rocket. This will cause it to head toward
one of the ships. Right before impact, make sure that you have your Slow mode on as the rocket will do much more
damage like that.
In the next room are 3 metallic Leos. You know how to beat them. If for some reason one of them doesn't do a
spinning attack but instead shoots blue fire balls at you then simply duck under the blue fire balls
and then punch him in the face. Repeat. Once all three are killed, move on.
You will now have to fight a series of timed battles. The first set should be no problem. In the second one
you have to fight a bunch of Black Ninjas and then there are 2 left. How do you make them come out. Time
is ticking away. Grr! Well, you have to hop all the way to the top and 2 Elite Sword Guys will come out. Kill
them. This is the general rule for the rest of the guys. If you don't see or can't find your enemies, just hop around until
they come out. I didn't have any big problems until I got to the double metallic Leos on the level right
before the Final Boss for this Episode. Anyway, I recommend fighting the metallic Leos on the ground level
either all the way to the right or all the way to the left. This way you can fight one Leo at a time without
the other one harming you. Break Time!
Boss Fight - The Omnipotent - King Blue
I recommend buying a Take 2 before you start and if you haven't increased your Health Meter to at least 10 I would do that now
or earn money until you can afford it.
Hey neat. You're on the Earth and you can make it spin. You're also some sort of crazy Voltron of a Viewtiful Joe
now. Pretty cool. This Boss isn't too hard, especially since I'll tell you exactly what to do. First, you can
only attack him while he is in the foreground. So, right from the start you'll see him swing into the foreground.
Jump up and start whaling on him with the good ol' Slow + Zoom + Hold Punch. Do this until your meter almost runs out
(I have all but one segment filled up)
or you see him start to turn blue (you'll get the timing of how long you can hit him at a time after you've
been shocked a few times). Then, simply drop down to the Earth and duck. He'll throw out at least a vertical lightning
attack that is easily avoided if you don't move. I've told you to duck as well as sometimes he throws a curve
ball and does a horizontal lightning strike also. Right after that you'll start to hear and hopefully see
a little radio tower come out of the ground. It will launch missiles. But, before you go over to it to destroy
it you're going to get attacked by lightning again. However, this time as soon as you see a lightning strike,
run towards it (don't run into it). That way you'll know that the next strike that rapidly comes down won't hit you.
Whether or not you avoided that attack (I was about 50/50 on it) immediately go up to the radio tower and start
beating on it with Slow + Zoom + Hold Punch. It'll blow up but the first round of rockets that it sent out
will now be coming at you. Stay in slow and punch/dodge them...just don't forget about them. Now, there may
be one more normal lightning attack where you just stay still to avoid it. OK, finally, we can
attack King Blue again. He'll swing into the foreground while launching the Tie Fighter looking things (the triangles if you will).
At this point, jump up and float down and start whomping on him. Be sure to stay above the level of the oncoming
Tie Fighter things or they'll interfere with your attack as you automatically dodge them. Again, keep beating
on him until he's just about ready to turn blue and launch the lightning attack and then simply drop down to the Earth and duck
and repeat the process until he is dead.
True, sometimes he will vary the order of the attacks but the above should get you through.
Oh, and watch out for that laser. It can be a real pain. Nothing that you can really do, just try and avoid
it the best that you can.
Boss Fight - Captain Blue
OK, so one after the other. If you die you have
to start all over again with King Blue so, if you can afford it, I recommend getting some extra lives as well after you die.
Because, oh yes, you will die. Mwahahahahaha.
Actually, Captain Blue isn't that hard and it's a nice change of pace to do some "freestyle" fighting rather than
going through the machinations of previous bosses. For Captain Blue I liked doing the Slide Kick
to stun him and then go at him with the Slow + Zoom + Hold Punch. Be agressive. When he does his lighting there's really
not much that you can do. Often you'll be trapped between two bolts or a bolt and the side of the screen. I tended
to go into Slow and then Double Jumped to avoid as much damage as I could. On the way down I'd do a Spinning
Ground Pound just in case he was below me. Otherwise, just avoid his Red Hot Kick and quickly attack him.
I really don't have that much more advice for him as it's really up to your own fighting style to take him out.
His energy bar isn't that big so it shouldn't take too long. When you defeat him, game over!!
You have unlocked "V-Rated Mode" and you can now play as Silvia.
