¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
  Shock Troopers is an action game that is really fun. There are six&lt;br /&gt;
stages, and three different routes to choose from. There are a lot of&lt;br /&gt;
Power Boost Items to aid you in your mission to stop Bloody Scorpion.&lt;br /&gt;
With different things to choose from, this is a great game. Try it out&lt;br /&gt;
for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

Part 4: Basics&lt;br /&gt;
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
  Modes:&lt;br /&gt;
  ¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Lonely Wolf:&lt;br /&gt;
  You only choose one character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Team Battle Mode:&lt;br /&gt;
  You get to choose three characters and switch between them. They&lt;br /&gt;
all share the same life bar, but each have their own individual Special&lt;br /&gt;
Attacks. But the number of Special Attacks each character has is five&lt;br /&gt;
less than if you played on Lonely Wolf, it's still much more than if&lt;br /&gt;
you played on Lonely Wolf though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Controls:&lt;br /&gt;
  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Movement:&lt;br /&gt;
  Just use the joystick or D-Pad to move up, left, down, or right&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Close Range Attack:&lt;br /&gt;
  When close to an enemy, push the A button. If they die by a Close Range&lt;br /&gt;
Attack, you will get a random Power Boost Item (usually a Blue Diamond).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Range Attack:&lt;br /&gt;
  Just push the A button when not close to the enemy and you will shoot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evasive Maneuver (roll, crouch, or jump):&lt;br /&gt;
  Push B button (can use direction+B to roll in a certain direction). If&lt;br /&gt;
you are on land as a pedestrian, you will roll; if you're climbing a&lt;br /&gt;
ladder, then you will jump; if you're on a motorcycle, then you will&lt;br /&gt;
crouch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use Special Attack:&lt;br /&gt;
  Push C button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Switch Characters (if playing on Team Battle Mode):&lt;br /&gt;
  Push D button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strafe:&lt;br /&gt;
  Hold A and move around, the direction you were facing when holding A&lt;br /&gt;
is the direction you'll stay in if you keep holding A. While strafing,&lt;br /&gt;
the B and C buttons are operational.&lt;br /&gt;

_______________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
        6.1: Jungle Route&lt;br /&gt;
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 1 Mini-Boss: Helicopter and Tanks&lt;br /&gt;
  One tank appears at opposite sides of the screen. They just shoot at&lt;br /&gt;
you, then a helicopter appears and only shoots using its main gun.&lt;br /&gt;
Destroy the tanks first, then the helicopter, it's much easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 1 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  The Tank is actually really easy. It shoots quite a lot, but the&lt;br /&gt;
bullets are slow. It also charges up once in a while and shoots. To&lt;br /&gt;
dodge the shooting, just roll around and shoot him. No need to use a lot&lt;br /&gt;
of Special Attacks, unless you want to. It can shoot missiles into the&lt;br /&gt;
air from the back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 2 Mini-Boss: Jungle Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, there are five guns on this tank and they all shoot the small,&lt;br /&gt;
slow, blinking bullets. After losing a certain amount of power, it will&lt;br /&gt;
start shooting concentrated balls that break apart into four stars in&lt;br /&gt;
different directions once it comes in contact with the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 2 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  This tank shoots the slow, blinking bullets, but it charges up and&lt;br /&gt;
shoots either in a straight line method. For the charging up, it&lt;br /&gt;
shoots either one or three fireballs. This one shoots the concentrated&lt;br /&gt;
balls that break apart in four stars. &lt;br /&gt;
  When the drivers pops his head out of the tank and goes back in, that&lt;br /&gt;
means he'll shoot missiles. He can also throw pipe bombs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 3 Mini-Boss: Two&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, this boss consists of two guys. They each do the same things:&lt;br /&gt;
claw swipes, shoot slow Heavy machine guns, jump then land spinning on&lt;br /&gt;
their claws, jump on opposite sides of the screen and one dashes forward&lt;br /&gt;
with a claw swipe or they both run to the opposite side of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
They are really quick and tough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 3 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  This tank shoots the slow, blinking bullets, but it charges up and&lt;br /&gt;
shoots either in a straight line method. For the charging up, it&lt;br /&gt;
shoots either one or three fireballs. This one shoots the concentrated&lt;br /&gt;
balls that break apart in four stars. This tank can also shoot missiles&lt;br /&gt;
into the air from its back.&lt;br /&gt;
  When the drivers pops his head out of the tank and goes back in, that&lt;br /&gt;
means he'll shoot missiles. He can also throw Poison Gas cans.&lt;br /&gt;
  After the tank is destroyed, you will fight the tank driver. The&lt;br /&gt;
driver has a machine gun that shoots slow bullets. Enemy soldiers will&lt;br /&gt;
also come to aid this tank driver. He also throws three pipe bombs one&lt;br /&gt;
after another. If the guy cocks the rifle, then that means the next&lt;br /&gt;
time he shoots, he will shoot in a wide area. He will sometimes throw&lt;br /&gt;
three pipe bombs simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 4 Boss: Helicopter&lt;br /&gt;
  It starts out using it's main gun shooting a few rounds at you. Just&lt;br /&gt;
keep moving (strafe) and shoot at it. Eventually, it starts shooting&lt;br /&gt;
bullets and missiles from it's other guns, as well as shooting you from&lt;br /&gt;
its main gun. Keep rolling around when it shoots the extra bullets and&lt;br /&gt;
missiles until it clears a little and keep shooting. Use some of your&lt;br /&gt;
Special Attacks when it starts this to make it faster.&lt;br /&gt;
  After the driver is exposed, he will start throwing pipe bombs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 5 Boss: Bulldozer&lt;br /&gt;
  It's like a bulldozer, but it has a wall of spikes in front of it.&lt;br /&gt;
Actually, it isn't a bulldozer, but it's one of those big machines that&lt;br /&gt;
they use to put boxes on it, then it can raise it up in order to put it&lt;br /&gt;
on a high shelf or something like that. Well, whatever.&lt;br /&gt;
  If you touch the spikes, you get hurt (duh). It shoots different&lt;br /&gt;
concentrated balls that when it comes into contact with the ground, it&lt;br /&gt;
breaks apart into four small stars made up of six triangles. After&lt;br /&gt;
losing a certain amount of power, the machine will use its Vulcan at the&lt;br /&gt;
side to shoot. It can also charge back, then charge forward, shooting&lt;br /&gt;
missiles from behind the machine. It also moves foward slowly and shoots&lt;br /&gt;
missiles. After the machine is destroyed, you will fight the driver.&lt;br /&gt;
  The driver shoots big, slow bullets. He will sometimes roll on the&lt;br /&gt;
ground and shoot at the same time. He also throws three pipe bombs one&lt;br /&gt;
after another. If the guy cocks the rifle, then that means the next time&lt;br /&gt;
he shoots, he will shoot in a wide area. He will sometimes throw three&lt;br /&gt;
pipe bombs simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;

        6.2: Mountain Route&lt;br /&gt;
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 1 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  The Tank is actually really easy. It shoots quite a lot, but the&lt;br /&gt;
bullets are slow. It also charges up once in a while and shoots. To&lt;br /&gt;
dodge the shooting, just roll around and shoot him. No need to use a lot&lt;br /&gt;
of Special Attacks, unless you want to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 2 Boss: Helicopter&lt;br /&gt;
  Actually harder than the Tank. First, it starts out using it's main&lt;br /&gt;
gun shooting a few rounds at you. Just keep moving (strafe) and shoot at&lt;br /&gt;
it. Eventually, it starts shooting bullets and missiles from it's other&lt;br /&gt;
guns, as well as shooting you from its main gun. Keep rolling around&lt;br /&gt;
when it shoots the extra bullets and missiles until it clears a little&lt;br /&gt;
and keep shooting. Use some of your Special Attacks when it starts this&lt;br /&gt;
to make it faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 3 Boss: Bulldozer&lt;br /&gt;
  It's like a bulldozer, but it has a wall of spikes in front of it.&lt;br /&gt;
Actually, it isn't a bulldozer, but it's one of those big machines that&lt;br /&gt;
they use to put boxes on it, then it can raise it up in order to put it&lt;br /&gt;
on a high shelf or something like that. Well, whatever.&lt;br /&gt;
  If you touch the spikes, you get hurt (duh). It shoots different&lt;br /&gt;
concentrated balls that when it comes into contact with the ground, it&lt;br /&gt;
breaks apart into four small stars made up of six triangles. After&lt;br /&gt;
losing a certain amount of power, the machine will use its Vulcan at the&lt;br /&gt;
side to shoot. It can also charge back, then charge forward, shooting&lt;br /&gt;
missiles from behind the machine. It also moves foward slowly and shoots&lt;br /&gt;
missiles. After the machine is destroyed, you will fight the driver.&lt;br /&gt;
  The driver has a machine gun that shoots slow bullets. He also throws&lt;br /&gt;
three pipe bombs one after another. If the guy cocks the rifle, then&lt;br /&gt;
that means the next time he shoots, he will shoot in a wide area. He will&lt;br /&gt;
sometimes throw three pipe bombs simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 4 Boss: Helicopter&lt;br /&gt;
  It's the same as in Stage 2, except this one's faster in shooting and&lt;br /&gt;
control. This one is also stronger, and the driver sometimes throws pipe&lt;br /&gt;
bombs at you once he's exposed to the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 5 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  It's the same as in Stage 1, except this one's faster, stronger, and&lt;br /&gt;
deadlier. It still shoots the slow bullets, but it charges up and shoots&lt;br /&gt;
either in a three-way or straight line method. For the charging up, it&lt;br /&gt;
shoots fireballs. This one also shoots the concentrated balls that the&lt;br /&gt;
boss in Stage 3 does.&lt;br /&gt;
  When the drivers pops his head out of the tank and goes back in, that&lt;br /&gt;
means he'll shoot missiles. At this point, he will throw poison gas&lt;br /&gt;
cans and use the flame thrower that in the front area of the tank.&lt;br /&gt;
  After destroying the tank, you will fight the driver of the tank. Four&lt;br /&gt;
enemy soldiers drop down to join the tank driver. The driver is similar&lt;br /&gt;
to the one you fought in Stage 3. He does everything the driver in Stage&lt;br /&gt;
3 does and then some more. The driver will shoot using his gun. He&lt;br /&gt;
shoots big, slow bullets. He will sometimes roll on the ground and shoot&lt;br /&gt;
at the same time. Enemy soldiers will come from time to time to aid the&lt;br /&gt;
driver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 6 Boss: Bloody Scorpion Leader&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, he starts out shooting a ton of fireballs. He also points his&lt;br /&gt;
rocket launcher to the sky and shoots, rockets rain down. He fights&lt;br /&gt;
physically with either his bare fists or sword, and he is really quick&lt;br /&gt;
when he attacks like this.&lt;br /&gt;
  When he's critical, he becomes faster.&lt;br /&gt;

        6.3: Valley Route&lt;br /&gt;
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 1 Boss: Airplane&lt;br /&gt;
  This thing is actually those airplanes that can travel on water. It's&lt;br /&gt;
main gun shoots a pretty big, slow bullet. It's side guns shoot the&lt;br /&gt;
blinking slow bullets. From time to time, this thing will retreat and&lt;br /&gt;
drop enemy soldiers on the boat you're on. It will also retreat and&lt;br /&gt;
drop missiles that explode upon contact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 2 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  It's the same tank as in Stage 5 of the Mountain Route, except this&lt;br /&gt;
battle is in side view, so you don't have as much room to dodge the&lt;br /&gt;
stuff. Also, you don't fight the driver after you destroy the tank and&lt;br /&gt;
there is no flame thrower. And to add on to that, the driver doesn't&lt;br /&gt;
shoot a three way spread shot of the fireballs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 3 Boss: Tank Driver&lt;br /&gt;
  It's similar to the driver in Stage 3 of the Mountain Route. But this&lt;br /&gt;
guy is different. When this guy cocks the gun and moves to the top left&lt;br /&gt;
or top right of the screen, he shoots one bullet of the Heavy machine&lt;br /&gt;
gun, moves some, then shoots another Heavy machine gun bullet, and keeps&lt;br /&gt;
doing that (only shoots five times per crossing of screen). If he stays&lt;br /&gt;
in one place after cocking the rifle, then he'll shoot in a spreading&lt;br /&gt;
fashion of the regular bullets. He throws three pipe bombs either&lt;br /&gt;
individually or simultaneously. He also goes to the other side of the&lt;br /&gt;
screen and starts his stuff over there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 4 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  Almost exactly like the Tank in Stage 5 of the Mountain Route, except&lt;br /&gt;
this Tank doesn't have a Flame Thrower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 5 Mini-boss: Two&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, this boss consists of two guys. They each do the same things:&lt;br /&gt;
claw swipes, shoot slow Heavy machine guns, jump then land spinning on&lt;br /&gt;
their claws, jump on opposite sides of the screen and one dashes forward&lt;br /&gt;
with a claw swipe or they both run to the opposite side of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
They are really quick and tough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 5 Boss: Tank&lt;br /&gt;
  Almost exactly like the Stage 5 Tank of the Mountain Route, except&lt;br /&gt;
this one can has two places where the flame thrower is at and the&lt;br /&gt;
driver also throws lightning squares that become residual upon contact&lt;br /&gt;
with the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
  After destroying the Tank, you fight the tank driver. The tank driver&lt;br /&gt;
is exactly like the one in Stage 5 of the Mountain Route, except for the&lt;br /&gt;
fact that soldiers don't drop down to aid the tank driver, this guy&lt;br /&gt;
shoots more bullets, and rolls and shoots in any direction he wants to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 6 Boss: Bloody Scorpion Leader&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, he starts out shooting a ton of fireballs. He also points his&lt;br /&gt;
rocket launcher to the sky and shoots, rockets rain down. He fights&lt;br /&gt;
physically with either his bare fists or sword, and he is really quick&lt;br /&gt;
when he attacks like this.&lt;br /&gt;
  When he's critical, he becomes faster.&lt;br /&gt;

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
Stage 4 Boss: Driver&lt;br /&gt;
  Exactly like the Stage 3 Tank Driver of the Valley Route, except that&lt;br /&gt;
when it shoots the Heavy Machine Gun bullets, the platform it's on is&lt;br /&gt;
shorter so it still shoots five, but it shoots three then two, and he&lt;br /&gt;
doesn't hop to the other side of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&lt;br /&gt;
  Well, you should use the evasive maneuver a lot, especially when in&lt;br /&gt;
dire need (tons of firing on the screen or if the character you are&lt;br /&gt;
using is slow and you need to dodge something). Strafe when against a&lt;br /&gt;
single enemy boss (such as the helicopter). You should play on Team&lt;br /&gt;
Battle Mode if you want a lot of Special Attacks. When you fight against&lt;br /&gt;
a boss, use all your Special Attacks if you want to get rid of them&lt;br /&gt;
quickly and you don't have a Power Boost weapon item.&lt;br /&gt;
  If you play safely, you can beat this game on a few credits, if not&lt;br /&gt;
one only.&lt;br /&gt;
