Passwords
CCCCCCCC: Elevator to Zang's lair
Main area
This large area consists of a wide variety of terrain, including
islands, seas, and poisonous grass. Items are hidden inside the
green pods and blue groups of flowers.
The flame thrower is very effective against the opponents against
Zang's henchman and the vegetation. Its wide field of fire works
particularly well against the flying probes in this level.
There are three hazards in the water regions. Water monsters can
be killed by using grenades. Since they move quickly, anticipate
where they will be when the grenade lands. Super grenades can
be used to kill large numbers of them at once, but do not allow
the area of effect to cover a hut that may contain a hostage.
Areas in the water that contain bubbles will explode when Captain
Quazar wade or swims over them. Use a grenade to get rid of them.
Captain Quazar can wade through the shallow light blue areas of
water. These areas also are the only places on the water that
the map displays his location. The deeper blue areas will harm
Captain Quazar unless he is using a snorkel.
Red areas of ground are poisonous vegetation. When Captain Quazar
walks on these areas, he will turn green and slowly lose health.
Antidotes to the poison may be purchased or found next to the
poisonous areas. The blue groups of flowers are good places to
look. If Captain Quazar becomes poisoned, quickly explore the
surrounding area before using an antidote. There are several power-ups
located on patches of normal ground surrounded by normal vegetation.
The north-east portion of this level consists of a large area
of poisonous vegetation containing paths consisting of normal
ground. Explore this area to find various power-ups, including
extra lives.
The south-east portion of the level consists of a large area of
green grass. Look carefully to find paths in that consist of a
different texture of grass that is less rough than the surrounding
ground. Various power-ups, including extra lives and map clues,
are located along these paths.
There is a Crazy Eli's supply shop located south of the large
henchman compound that is split by water and an island in the
center. A map clue is located on an island to the north-west of
the supply shop. A continue is hidden in a hut on an island that
is part of an archipelago in the sea to the south-west of the
supply shop.
Hostages
The first objective in this mission requires hostages to be
rescued. The hostages are kept in various huts through out the
level. After a hut is found, find the nearest star-shaped teleporter
and eliminate all dangers between the hut and the teleporter.
This includes loose henchman, barracks, and red pollinating flowers.
After the hut is destroyed, hold your fire to avoid killing the
hostage. Then, get in front of the hostage and accompany him to
the teleporter eliminating any obstacles that are encountered.
Look at the map and find the large henchman compound that is split
by water and an island in the center. There is a teleporter to
the north-west of the compound. A hostage hut is located in a
small compound just to the north-west of the teleporter.
A hostage hut is located at the end of a peninsula just to the
north of the large henchman compound. It is bordered by a group
of small pools of bubbling water to the east.
A hostage hut is located at the edge of the water inside the large
compound on the west side, at the top.
To the south-west of the area with the paths of normal ground
surrounded by poisonous vegetation is a compound that contains
two lakes, with islands in the center of each. A hostage hut is
located inside the compound to the west of the lower lake. A teleporter
is located immediately to the south of this area.
There is a large garden of red pollinating flowers to the east
of the large henchman compound that is split by water and an island
in the center. All of the flowers must be destroyed to eliminate
any threat to hostages. There are several power-ups, including
extra lives in this area. There is a teleporter to the north of
the garden. A hostage hut is located to the north-west of the
teleporter. Another hostage hut is located in the southern portion
of the garden.
A hostage hut is located in the area that contains paths of normal
ground surrounded by poisonous vegetation in the north-east region
of the level.
A hostage hut is located on the west side of the compound that
lies between the large garden of red pollinating flowers and the
area that contains paths of normal ground surrounded by poisonous
vegetation.
Relics
The second objective involves finding several relics. Some
are hidden on islands that must be reached by swimming. Use the
map clues that are found to find their location.
There is a smaller compound to the west of the large henchman
compound that is split by water and an island in the center. The
smaller compound contains two huts to the north of two bubbling
pools of water. There is a relic hidden in the hut on the left
side.
Explore the area in the north-east portion of the level that contains
paths of normal ground that are surrounded by poisonous vegetation.
A relic is hidden in a hut in the south-east part of this area.
Another relic is hidden in a hut in the north-central part of
this area.
To the south-west of the area with the paths of normal ground
surrounded by poisonous vegetation is a compound that contains
two lakes, with islands in the center of each. The lake to the
south contains an island with a relic surrounded by several red
pollinating flowers.
A relic is hidden in the area consisting of several paths surrounded
by water and water monsters just south of the portion that contains
paths of normal ground that are surrounded by poisonous vegetation.
A relic is hidden on an island in the center of a lake containing
many water monsters. The lake is located between the two areas
that contain several paths surrounded by water.
Elevator to Zang's lair
The elevator used to reach Zang is on an island located in
the sea in the south-west region of the level. The island is located
south of the archipelago that contained the island with a continue.
Follow the area of shallow water that is off the south-west end
of the island to find a super grenade, speed boots, flame thrower,
invisibility, and a full health power-up. The elevator can only
be accessed after all relics and hostages are recovered.
Level 6
Notes
This level consists of four floors in an underground factory.
Each floor is accessible by elevator. There is more than one elevator
on each floor. Color-coded keys must be found to access the corresponding
elevator.
Unlike other levels, Captain Quazar cannot destroy the outer walls
in order to move outside each floor except in specific areas.
To find walls that can be completely destroyed, look at the map.
Note that the ground may be purple or red in color. If the ground
is red behind a wall, it may be destroyed to allow Captain Quazar
to pass.
Buy an ample amount of flares, shields, and flame thrower ammunition
before beginning the level. The factory is lit with lamps. Try
not to destroy the lamps while shooting at opponents. If a lamp
is destroyed, the surrounding area will be darkened. The flame
thrower is an effective weapon against Zang's henchmen. It's wide
field of fire is also a good defense against the swarms of clones
that inhabit the lower floors. Shields are an essential item to
protect Captain Quazar from clones during searches for their brain
transmitters.

<A NAME="DDE_LINK1">
Main area
This level consists of several smaller areas linked by floating
platforms. Buy the maximum amount of shields, health, and some
ice gun ammunition before starting. There are several dangers
present. Red hot glowing areas on the ground will slowly drain
Captain Quazar's health. The walls of flame and chasms will cause
instant death. There are circular pools that flame intermittently.
Walking through when the pools flame will result in instant death.
The smaller areas in the level are separated by lava. Captain
Quazar can walk on the lava for a brief period of time before
dying. Use the shields to navigate through areas that are blocked
by flame pools and hot glowing ground. Remember to turn off the
shields after the danger is passed to conserve them.</A>
Since several areas are defined by narrow diagonal paths, it may
be helpful to switch to the alternate controller setting when
navigating through these areas.
Immediately destroy any radar dishes to prevent probes from homing
in on Captain Quazar. Ox's henchmen are hard to kill. Grenades
must be used to kill the henchmen dressed in yellow.
When a bomb is found, clear out the surrounding area and look
for the nearest teleporter. Return to the bomb, destroy it, and
collect the Oxonium. A counter will appear in the lower right
corner of the screen to show how long Captain Quazar has to reach
the teleporter with the Oxonium. If Captain Quazar dies in the
process, the Oxonium will bounce loose and must be taken again
with the next life.
