You start out by watching a video - apparently you are being annoying. Hmmmmmmm. Dreg is sending elite troops that do a Charlie's Angel pose. Is he Charlie??

You run into them immediately down the path. Take care of them and hit the button - now you're in an atrium area. This central vendor will be the one you use a lot on this level. There's a side path into a testing room with robots with bomb gloves. Batches of them come in from side doors. Kill a bunch of them and a door opens up to an elevator. Head on up. In the upper area, blast button from here then fly down.

The next area has testing robots with punchers. Again, kill them all and move along to a shop.

Swing on hookshot areas and hit the button to open the door. Slingshot up. Now work along to a grider rail, then to a new robot testing area with flame throwers. In this room, stay up on ledge near you (the bottom of the screen, near you the game player) to be safe. They nicely flame each other. Kill all of them to open the door.

OK, shoot the next set of enemies. Now you run into robots with flamethrowers AND bombs AND punchers. Watch them blow each other up. It's really quite fun :) . The doors open. You're now in a room with boxes. There's a guy on the right. He wants a hip young star to represent his hoverboard. You have to beat his testbots in a race.

The trick to winning is just to bomb early and then ride smoothly. If you bomb the first few robots, the rest never catch you and you win. You're a star! You're on video, and then he gives you a hologuise. You're disguised as a sentry bot. This is VERY cute as you waddle around waving.

Go up the elevator - there's a LONG LONG tough grind rail. Be ready to practice this one several times before you get it down. After the first few jumps, you see a gold bolt down in water.

OK, here are my notes on the grind rail path. First, go left - right to go around car. When you reach the triple rail, more cars come at you. We went right left left right right. STAY ON THE LEFT RAIL and then jump into the tunnel. The right rail goes down spiral. and loops around again so it's a closed track.

OK, more cars and leaping. Yet another triple rail. Go back and forth around obstacles. Soon you reach an area with rail on right with blue web. Again, STAY on your own rail. There's another jump. When you land, jump sideways immediately to dodge the car.

Finally you get to the end. You meet the help desk girl. She gives you a Map-O-Matic which shows secret areas. Out back - taxi - goes to lobby.
