WAR OF THE GEMS (Marvel Super Heroes) FAQ 4/3/99 bellybutton21@hotmail.com Well I know I'm about 2 1/2 years late on the release of this game, but I have only seen one other FAQ and I feel that I can expand the options regarding to the game. Also congratulations on buying an extremely enjoyable game, hopefully you bought it at FCL where it is only $7. Characters Gems Credits Captain America During WWII a secret government project was going called the Super Soldier project. With a mixture of a few chemicals and a touch of mutagen Steve Rogers took the syrum and now has become the popularly known Captain America! With this new syrum he has gained cat like speed and reflexes along with the strength of an ox and the aging process of a turtle, he now fights crime and evil super villians. Moves: Foward Shield Slash: F,F+Attack Button Downward Shield Slash: D,D+Attack Button Upward Shield Slash: U,U+Attack Button You must hold F on the second time to initiate the move. This is Captain Ameria's prime weapon against enemies and if enemies are right next to each other, his shield will hit all enemies in his direction of aim. Charging Star: D,DF,F+Attack Button This looks almost identical to the one in Marvel Super Heroes, but it will not eat enemies projectiles. Use this to plow through enemies in a hurry and escape certain danger situations. This also hits all enemies in his line of fire. Maximum Potential: U,F,D+Attack Button(1 special gem required) Okay the manual called this Super Captain America, which was pretty corny, but you do like this name better don't you? All motion stops as Captain America releases all his potential energy that serverely damages(high possibility to destroy all on screen enemies) all enemies or a boss. Use this when you are highly out numbered or low on energy against a boss, either way this can easily tip the advantage to your side. Hulk During his test of gamma radiation a stupid boy wandered into the bomb test area right before the bomb was about to be tested. Bruce Banner had no way of stopping the bomb so he got out and quickly pushed the boy to safety and at the same time the bomb was dropped and Bruce mysteriously absorbed the radiation. Later after the incident Bruce transformed into the mean, green, superhero fighting machine that we've all come to know(besides the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of course). Gamma Toss: D,DF,F+Attack Button(up close to enemy) When up close to any enemy Hulk grabs the opponent and hurls them to the other side of the screen doing heavy damage and if any enemy is in his way of direction they will take damage as well. Gamma Charge: F,F+Attack Button Once again you must hold F the second time you intiate the move. Hulk charges past opponents with this quick move while at the same time serverely damages opponents. This can hit multiple opponents if they are close to each other or within range. Alley OOP!: F,D,DF+Attack Button The manual called this the Rock Crush, but I think this is a better more suitable name. Basically Hulk will jack the opponent up then jump and slam the opponent down, basically a one person alley-oop show! Hulk Bomber: U,F,D+Attack Button(1 special gem required) Hulk releases all his strength as he crushes the ground as all enemies will feel damage to the extreme even if they are in air. A great way to tips all odds in your favor. Iron Man One day while testing a secret weapon, he had been injured by an explosion caused by a malfunction. Captors have found him lying unconcious and brought him back to critical condition. The kidnappers agreed to help Tony Stark to full health if he had agreed to build them top notch weaponry. Apparently Tony agreed but he had other things in mind. At the same time Tony was building false weaponry for the Captors he had built a life sustaining suit, which would keep his critical condition under control. However he cannot live long without it, but he has added powerful armor and weaponry to stop those that would corrupt innocent people and thus became the legendary Iron Man! Repulsor Beam: D,DF,F+Attack Button Iron Man gathers energy into the palm of his hand to create a blast of hot plasma that goes through any enemy that stands in the way, which also hits mulitple enemies. This is also useable in the air. Iron Rocket Torpedo: F,F+Attack Button(air) Iron man uses his armor to pierce through enemies with this multi hitting attack that can serverely injure enemies in its path. Its also good for escaping danger situations in a hurry. Smart Bomb: D,D,+Attack Button Iron Man drops a bomb that explodes on contact causing enemies to eat fire. A great way to attack enemies from above, if Iron MAn is on a higher ledge. Double Jump: U,U This enables Iron Man to get out of danger situations and reach things that other heroes can't. Solar Flare: U,F,D+Attack Button(1 special gem required) Iron veers up as he unleashes all his suits energy to create a giant flare that hits all on screen enemies causing damage to the cosmic proportions. A nice way to tips odds in your favor. Spider Man While attending one of his usual study lectures, Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider that somehow ended up in the beam of a genetic array. The acne face geek was no more, now that Spider-Man has gained the strength and agility of a spider, along with a trust Spider sense. Web Ball: D,DF,F+Attack Button When used on enemies their foot will become stuck and unable to move for quite a while leaving Spider-Man plenty of time to attack. Wall Climb: Jump towards wall and press either U or D to climb Helpful for reaching places other heroes can't. Who knows where this might take Spidey or what he might find. Tangling Spider Attack: U,U+Attack Button then Attack Button You must hold up the second time if you want the best results. What Spidey will do is hang to a ceiling and swing around until you hit the attack button again which will have him fling himself against an enemy causing good damage. Web Throw: U,F,D+Attack Button(1 special gem required) Spider-Man will throw out a line of web and if he catches an opponent he will toss him or her around hitting any other enemies nearby causing moderate damage. Not one of the best gems moves in my opinion. Wolverine His knowledge of his path is as good as anyone's. Forced to undergo an expierment his skeleton was combined with an indestructable metal called adamantium. With his rapid mutant healing ability he takes crime fighting to a whole new level. Dashing Claw: F,F+Attack Button What Wolverine will do is dash at his opponent(s) and claw right into him hitting multiple times causing critical damage. Tornado Claw: F,D,DF+Attack Button Wolverine will spin wildly into the air as he unleashes a fury to opponents. Use this often when opponents jump for an unexpected surprise. Wall Climb: Jump towards wall and press either U or D to climb Same as Spider Man's, use this to reach unreachable items or give yourself the advantage in battles. Diving Claw: D+Attack Button(air) A quick attack that can easily knock down enemies, but this move is a little weak, but an excellent surprise move. Berserker Rage: U,F,D+Attack Button(1 special gem required) Wolverine will unleash the beast within as he goes into Berserker mode. This can tip advantages to his side as he unleashes Claw energy that can travel in waves that cause good damage against opponent. Also this knocks an opponent down with one hit and also he can throw serveral of these at a time. Gems Time Gem(Red)- Hero moves twice as quick, give this one to Hulk. Space Gem(Purple)- Hero jumps twice as high, combine this with Iron Man's double jump then anything is possible. Reality(Orange)- Allows hero to see things others can't see. Soul(Green)- Doubles hero's vitality guage. Power(Redish-Purple)- Doubles hero's attack power. Since spider-man can hit up to eight times, watch how quickly your enemies fall with this one. Mind(Blue)- Hero can attack from a distance with out even touching the enemy! Basically this is the last gem you collect and the heroes cannot use it otherwise there would be no plot!
