SOLVING PROBLEMS Eccos world is an incredibly beautiful, yet deadly dangerous place. Most undersea life is Eccos enemy! Use songs to ward off attackers, or charge to dissolve them into sea foam. Some enemies, such as the Giant Medusa, are so quick and threatening that only your wits or a hint from a Glyph can save Ecco. Rocks, shells and island barriers will block Eccos progress. He may be caught in overpowering currents, or in deep channels far from the surface with its life-giving air. Earthquakes, rock falls and other disasters will plague Eccos quest. For every obstacle, there is a solution. It may be in a message from another creature, nestled on the ocean floor or waiting in a Glyph. It could even be in the sky! RESCUING LOST ORCAS When you locate a lost Orca, make Ecco glide slowly over him, close to his back and a little ahead of him. Try to swim in the direction hes going. If he turns, wait a few seconds and hell turn around again. When he sings to Ecco and begins swimming along, hes ready to follow. Now Ecco can lead him safely to his family. TELEPORTING Swim into a Teleport Ring you find in the water. Ecco will begin a 3D obstacle course. He must swim or leap through the teleport rings, both underwater and suspended in the air, in order to reach his next destination. Pass through a ring, and it will chime, advancing him many miles toward his goal. Miss a ring, and it will make a dull sound and one of the Ring Icons in the upper left of the screen will disappear. Avoid the floating nautiluses and their toxic bubbles as they will diminish Eccos Health. If Ecco succeeds with enough Teleport Rings, he reaches the next level. If he loses either all the Ring Icons or drains the Health Meter, he must try the same level again. PULSARS and METASPHERES Pulsars appear as curves spreading from a central point. Sing to one to gain its power. Then press Sonar twice quickly to emit a devastating 360 sonar blast. Its power is unlimited, and lasts until you clear the level or start the level over. Charge metaspheres, found later in the game, and transform Ecco into other life forms to use their special powers. When morphed, Ecco loses his own powers. In particular, Ecco cannot sing while transformed. A transformed Ecco can touch a metasphere again to regain his dolphin form.

The Flicky birds are frequently featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog games. The most obvious one is Sonic 3D Blast (subtitled Flickies Island in Europe), where the blue birds are scattered on an island and must be rescued in order for Sonic to advance to the next area. The Flickies that Sonic rescues will also similarly follow Sonic around until he reaches a portal, where the Flickies are safely evacuated. In Sonic Adventure, there are Flicky species featured in quests for both Amy Rose and E-102 Gamma.

Weapons

Each player character has a normal weapon for the primary shots (which can be shot in eight directions) and a Special Weapon for alternate shots. The left icon under the character face indicates the kind of Special Weapon. The right icon indicates the description (H=High places; L=Low places; M=Magic). The white arrow(s) on the right icon indicates the direction you can attack with the Special Weapon. This character, for example, throws grenades that can attack high places, forward (towards the top of the screen) only. HINT If the characters Special Weapon can only be shot forward (to the top of the screen), that does not mean that the character is disadvantageous. He/she can move sideways or retreat, and still can shoot forward, which is in fact very useful in many situations. Also, the picture of the character indicates which hand he/she uses each weapon. The effectiveness of the normal weapon and running speed also vary with the character. Its very important to make the right selection according to the situation.

about hostages

There are two types of hostages in the game. If your character is hit by an enemy shot, or makes contact with an enemy android, the character will be frozen in place and remain there as a hostage until either he/she is saved or the next character becomes a hostage. In the latter case, the previous hostage will be lost. Some stages have hostage(s) from the start of the stage. These remain even when your character is shot and becomes a hostage. To save a hostage, touch and guide him/her out of the EXIT. You can only guide one at a time. When saved, the hostages will then become usable in the next stage. Remember, the hostage will be lost if you defeat all enemy androids before guiding him/her out the EXIT. Beware! Most of the 10th stage of the rounds do not have EXIT. Any character that is shot here will be lost.
The game consists of several rounds, divided into 10 stages. There are two ways to clear the stage. One is to wipe out all enemy androids on the playfield. All player characters will be usable in the next stage. The other way is to lead all player characters safely out the EXIT before the time expires. If the time expires, all characters that have not exited, including the one currently in use, will be lost. Only the characters safely out of the EXIT will be available for the next stage. The game will be over if you lose all player characters. If you have credits left, press the Start Button to continue. Note that the game cannot be continued if you have reached Round 5, regardless of the credits remaining. Note: Except for the HARD setting for the game level, you will start (or continue) with three characters: James, Siren and Tonga.

Launching Sonic by tilting both flippers together with Flip Both is a safe and easy tactic for beginners. Watch out for lights and arrows showing important spots and routes in your surroundings. Catch Sonic on the flippers by holding them up as he enters the Alley Ramp. This way you can aim him more accurately. To shoot straight up, fire when Sonic is near the hinge of a flipper. To launch at an angle, let him roll towards the tip first. When Sonic is in flight, press the D-Button left and right to position Sonic based on the surrounding objects such as bumpers, targets, lances and flippers.

When your characters Life Gauge runs out, you lose a life. You will receive a full Life Gauge at the beginning of each new Stage. Opponents Life Gauges vary in length and color. A blue Life Gauge shows an enemy with greater stamina - when the blue Life Gauge runs out, it will be replaced by a yellow Life Gauge. The Strength Gauge shows the amount of strength you have. The higher the gauge, the harder you hit. Using Special Attacks weakens you further, and you suffer more damage if you are hit while strength is low. With each 40,000 points, a Star will appear below your Life Gauge. The number of Stars indicates the strength of your Blitz attacks.

Use the air brake to slow down and help avoid obstacles, but dont hover too long points are awarded based on time. Warships cannot be sunk. Focus on damaging their turrets. When fighting mid-size enemy craft, Super Thunder Blade will hover automatically. The time score is not kept at this time. Fly too low for too long and you will end up landing.
