Copyright ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------1. Intro------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isolated warrior is one of the many shoot-em-ups for the NES, in it you play the role of Max Maverick and you must save your planet Pan from an unknown alien force. The game looks really good for an NES game and has a great soundtrack, in most levels you'll be walking but in some you'll be riding on your motor, the racing levels go very fast so you have to have some quick reflexes to make it trough without dying. Like in most SHUMPS you will be collecting power-ups to make your weapon better and speed up your character. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------2. Story----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Story takes place on the planet Pan, one day the planet is attacked by an unknown alien force and it doesn't last long before the whole planet is overwhelmed by an army of aliens. All the people and soldiers on the planet are being told to leave the planet, but of course you the hero, refuses to leave and must save the planet all by yourself ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------3.

Levels--------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======= Weapons ======= Both the straight (L) and Spread (W) have 5 levels, to get them a level higher you have to get the (L) or (W) power up, or you have to go into a secret warp hole that upgrades them totally. Your spread gun is pretty useless throughout the whole game. Although you can still use it on groups of easy enemies but its better to use the straight shooting gun. When you level up the spread-mode it will go in more directions. Level 1 - 1 Direction Level 2 - 2 Directions Level 3 - 3 Directions Level 4 - 4 Directions Level 5 - 5 Directions Your straight gun is more powerful than your spread gun, it should be used when there are enemies coming from behind and on bosses, when your weapon goes up a level, it will shoot faster and it will shoot backwards. Level 1 - 1 beam forward Level 2 - 1 beam goes faster and 1 backwards Level 3 - 2 beams forwards and 1 backwards Level 4 - 2 beams forwards and 1 backwards Level 5 - 3 beams forwards and 2 beams backwards ===== Bombs ===== You can have up to five levels with bombs and every time you get it a level higher it will go in a extra direction. Level 1 = 1 Direction Level 2 = 3 Directions Level 3 = 5 Directions Level 4 = 8 Directions Level 5 = Bombs will kill everything on the screen, after you used it, it will go back to level 4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------6. Note and tactics---------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -To reach level 7 and get a good ending don't die in the first 6 levels. -When fighting bosses always use the straight weapon. -When you're fighting a boss, know that the screen will flicker once you've hit him. -Every boss except the last one leaves a extra life behind after you defeated it, go stand on the spot where the boss died when the level ends to get it. -When you die you'll lose your level of the weapon that you had, when you know your about to die, switch to the useless spread gun so you'll keep your normal gun. -It's pretty easy to get stuck in walls so try to stay clear of that. -Your normal shield can get hit 5 times, if you pick up another one it can get 10 hits and so on. -There are hidden warp holes all over the game, you can open them with your bomb. You can get three different things in warp holes, 1. An extra life. 2. All your energy back. 3. Your weapon upgraded to level 5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------7. walkthrough--------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +-------+ |Stage 1| +-------+ -There is a hidden warp hole in the wall to the left after the green things who look like boots, go in to get an extra life. -Get the shield when you're in the ally, a little after that is a purple enemy who carries some energy. -The things that come out of the ground who look like hedgehogs drop energy. -Destroy the electoral thing to get a speed up. -A little bit after the speed-up drop a bomb to go to a bonus level. -You can walk underneath those flying things although they can still hit you with the big rocks. -The mini-boss is really easy just stay under the screen otherwise the things that he throws will stay on the screen. -When you get the shield, go to the right and up a bit, there is a secret warp hole in the next ally to the left, you will get one weapon upgraded to level 5 so keep your straight-weapon mode ready. -Don't jump to early over the gaps or you could fall in because you can't go totally up the screen. -When you see a lot of (W) and (L) go to the right side and get the shield. ++++++++Boss+++++++++ The first boss is a snake, he'll shoot bullets at you that will split in three once there in the middle of the screen. Seeing that he is the first boss he's not that hard, you can use your bombs at him if you want but I recommend avoiding the slow bullets and keeping shooting at him. After you shot him long enough he'll shrink back. Than he explodes and all of his body parts will come at you. When they do jump around a bit to avoid them, be careful that they don't hit you, they do a lot of damage. +--------------+ |Stage 2 (5963)| +--------------+ -Avoid the rocks to the left and right. -Watch out for enemies coming from behind. -Right after the enemies start to come from behind throw a bomb to hit a hidden warp hole. -After a while enemies will come out of nowhere, just keep moving so they don't appear where you are. -A bit further, when the pink enemies appear out of nowhere, shoot a bomb the go to a bonus level. -Stay on the left side to get a shield. -After the part with the fish, try to keep a level 5 bomb for the boss. -Get another shield from the left and then you'll be approaching the boss. ++++++++Boss++++++++ This weirdo is pretty easy but you'll have to have a level 5 bomb. Start by throwing the level 5 bomb at him so he stops shooting rocks at you, if you don't have the level 5 bomb you'll have to avoid the rocks or use the bombs the whole time to get rid of them. Once you got that done shoot at the thing in the middle of his body until three snakes come out. Keep jumping and shooting at the snakes and try to kill them one by one, once the snakes are gone you killed the boss. +---------------+ | Level 3 (8920)| +---------------+ -You can't stand on the purple stuff. -After the part with the purple stuff, shoot a bomb to find a hidden warp hole. -If you shoot the green thing on the purple stuff it will explode into a few peaces, I recommend not doing it. -Sometimes the plant like enemy leaves a extra life behind. -There is another hidden warp hole where the bombs and snakes are. -The bridge will start moving, just stay in the middle so you don't fall off. -Get the next two shields you come across. -Quickly kill the next few enemies or else they'll become very annoying -On the next part its a good idea to use the bomb because there will a lot of enemies, plus you'll get it back anyway. ++++++++Boss++++++++ Shoot at his head and wait until his brain goes into little pieces and shootsin all directions, than you can start shooting at the thing under his brain. After a while the brain will come back on his head from all sides so you'll have to be careful that they don't hit you from behind. +--------------+ |Stage 4 (0705)| +--------------+ -Don't forget that you can be invincible by making a wheelie by pressing down and A, although bullets can still harm you. -By the small roads, make a wheelie and stay to the left. -By the part with the enemies who look like boots is a warp hole. -The best way to kill the flying purple things is to make a wheelie and bump into them. -Be careful that you don't fall in gaps. -When you see all the (L) and (W) at the right side of the road, jump to the left and try to get the shield. ++++++++Boss++++++++ To kill this boss the quickest way the only thing you have to do is get the shield to the left before the fight starts and than just bump into him. If you don't want to do it the easy way or you don't have the shield than you just have to do it the old-fashioned way. Shoot him while jumping over all the gaps, it can be a bit of pain because everything is going so fast. The only tip that I can give you is to try to keep an eye on the road more than on the boss. Oh yeah, and keep on jumping after you finished the boss because you can still fall in the gap once the screen goes to ending menu. +--------------+ |Stage 5 (5826)| +--------------+ -The second enemy that pops out of the wall leaves a life behind after you killed it. -When a lot of green, bleu and purple enemies show up, hide in the right down-corner of the screen, or if you have it use a level 5 bomb. -There is a hidden warp hole against the grey wall to the right. -When you're on the moving platform jump to the other side so that its easier to shoot the enemies that come out of the small paths. -Use bombs to get the purple jumping guys out of the way and get the shield on the right. -Watch out that you don't fall in the gap when your approaching the boss. ++++++++Boss++++++++ Don't bother shooting the things in the beginning, they can't be destroyed. Right at the beginning you're being pulled to the top where the boss is. You'll be coming across some electoral stuff and some junk, but avoiding it shouldn't be a problem, Also be careful that you don't get squished between the walls. Shoot the head a few times until you go back, avoid the things under the screen and you'll be pulled back, you can use the bombs if you think its too hard otherwise just keep avoiding and shooting. +--------------+ |Stage 6 (2687)| +--------------+ -Don't stand on the yellow beams to the right. -Use a bomb to get rid of the mass amount of enemies near the yellow beams in the middle. -After that kill all the green things quick and take the right side. -The mini-boss requires the same tactic from level one, stand down under and keep on shooting. -After that a part with lots of yellow beams will come, destroy the enemies quick here before you can't stand anywhere because of the bullets. -Then another part with lots of green enemies and the mini-boss comes, kill them quick otherwise they'll drop the whole floor with irritating traps. ++++++++Boss++++++++ You can only hit this boss on the white spot on his stomach, in the meanwhile he'll throw some stuff at you. He throws two types of those electoral things at you that you find in the normal levels. The first type requires a few shots to be destroyed and is placed in the middle of the screen and the other only requires one shot and is placed on the bottom of the screen. You have to jump over the first type because trying to destroy it takes to long, the other one isn't a real problem because he is to far under the screen so it can't really hit you. You can't use your bombs on this boss because the bombs will fall in the gap where he's floating over. The best thing to do is avoiding everything and keep on shooting at him. +--------------+ |Stage 7 (3279)| +--------------+ -Try to destroy the first enemies quick otherwise it'll be raining bullets. -Don't walk over the flickering floor. -The snakes can become quit long so destroying them quick is the way to go. -When you reach the second gap (with the three lines of enemies who look like bullets and green things), take the left path to get a shield, after you got it jump to the other side and get the shield there. ++++++++Boss++++++++ This is another fight where you have to be fast, after the battle begins rockets will come at you and you have to jump over them or go out of there way. Meanwhile the boss flies from the left to the right shooting his stars at you. The best thing to do is just stay at the same spot so that its easy to jump over the rockets, keep shooting and throw all your bombs at him. If you have the shields they'll come in handy. After you shot him for a while he will die. If you wait until the last movie is over you can start the game over again with the same weapons and bombs you had when you killed the last boss. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------8.
