It is a project set up at the FAQ Contributors Board at GameFAQs to give all Sega Master System games a FAQ. It was started by Masamune3 in the case of the Sega Master System but there are projects like that for other consoles too. Lois Lane has been kidnapped by Brainiac. The Doom Star orbits the Earth. The deadliest adversaries Superman has ever encountered are running amok. What greater challenge for The Man of Steel, his Heat Vision and the Might of his Super Punch. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2- FAQ [A200] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [1] [Q].

You have to fend off the enemies. Run straight ahead, you should see a little robot floating in the air in the lower right corner of the screen. Run ahead and duck when he starts to shoot his green laser beams. Continue running at him until you're next to him, duck and start hitting. Jump over the gap but don't worry about falling. A regular person will come running at you and start punching. You can take him down quickly. Continue to the right and a flying man will come at you. He is easy to take down; you can kill him with one hit. Advance and kill the Laser Beam Machine by ducking next to it and punching. Another flying enemy will appear but he can't hit you if you quickly run off the building. Jump to the next building; don't worry if you fall because you'll automatically fly. When you're on the building, a small UFO will appear. Jump against it and a power-up will appear. Go sit next to the enemy and punch him. Go up the next building, a flying enemy will appear. You'll see green beams appearing from a place you can't see. Drop down from the building and you'll land next to the Laser Beam Machine. When you reach the end of the current building, an enemy will appear from behind you. Drop down and kill the Green Laser Robot. He'll release a power-up. Jump to the next building. Defeat the UFO and the Laser Beam Machine. Another UFO will appear soon. Jump to the next building and defeat the ducked enemy. There is a grey thug a bit further that comes running at you. There are also two flying enemies, a flying human and a UFO. Drop down to the next roof and kill the Laser Beam Machine. There are only five enemies that separate you from the next part of the level. You're in a floating mission now. You have to avoid the garbage that the people drop. Just pay attention to the people that appear from the houses. Some of them will drop something that looks like a Golden Coin that you can catch. You'll be in some sort of boss fight when you reach the top. A mysterious man will throw flowers from his hat. Go sit next to him and punch him a couple of times. Run away than and wait until he moves. Repeat until he is dead. =============================================================================== 4.2- Level 2 [A402] =============================================================================== Superman will drop down to the bottom of a shaft. Run to the left and break the wall down. Watch out for the Laser Turret. If you fly to the roof of the room you are in, you can get a power-up. Go down to the bottom floor and continue to the left. Watch out for the walking Laser Turret. Break another wall. Jump up to the next stage immediately so that you avoid an enemy. Defeat the walking turret up there as fast as possible or run past it. Go to the left. There is a blue power-up between the two Laser Turrets. Advance to the left and go down a level. Fly over the gap if you want to reach a red power-up. Jump in the gap to advance. Avoid the gun turrets in this room. Drop down and defeat the second type UFO, he'll also give you a red power-up. There is another UFO a bit further. Drop down to the ground floor where there is an enemy that bounces around. It looks like some bomb with three legs. You have to hit it three times. Go to the right. Destroy the wall and kill the bouncing enemy. Go up the platforms on the left side to avoid all enemies. Aside from Laser Turrets, there are also mini-tanks present. They throw green bombs. Go to the right once you are at the top and drop down. Avoid the two turrets. There are two bouncing enemies at the ground floor. Kill them and go to the left. Drop down again and go to the left to pick up a power-up. Go back to the right and destroy the wall. Pick up the two girls. Advance to the right and drop down. Fly to the left, there is an exit there. Make sure you don't go down to the ground because there are many Laser Turrets here. This is another boss fight. You'll have to fight an iron man. He can jump very high and he mainly punches you. Use a hit and run technique. He'll take about twenty hits before losing to you. =============================================================================== 4.3- Level 3 [A403] =============================================================================== You're in a flying level now. You have to reach a train. Press Right to go more quickly but this way, it is harder to control him. Try to stay in between the two rows of blue bricks. All the power-ups are in between those two lines. Enter the door of the train. Watch out for the yellow persons that come from the windows. They throw bombs at you. You can't kill them. There is also an UFO against the ceiling. There are many enemies here but the level itself is pretty straightforward. You can only go in one direction. The best way to beat this level is to run until you reach the end where there is another iron man. This is another boss fight. You'll have to fight an iron man. He can jump very high and he mainly punches you. Use a hit and run technique. He'll take about twenty hits before losing to you. Defeat the enemies you see at the screen and the level is over. =============================================================================== 4.4- Level 4 [A404] =============================================================================== A Blue Rock Monster will appear from the ground. It moves fairly fast, is small, and can take three hits. There is a gap a bit further that is guarded by electricity. It is switched off every couple of seconds so you have a tiny time window to jump down. There are gun turrets and blue rock monster down there. Go up the rocks and avoid the two saucers that drop down. They change into tanks after they hit the ground. Three hits will kill them. Go to the right and drop down in the gap. Drop through the next gap that is guarded with electricity if you want two power-ups. Fly out of there and continue to the right. You have to go down using the next gap. Watch out for the Laser Turrets, Saucers, and Flying Wasps (It is a blue wasp like enemy that takes three hits to kill.) Fly up at the opening in the ceiling. Go to the left to find a power-up and then continue to the right. You'll find two Blue Wasps there. Drop down and you'll see a Blue Monster. It looks like those monsters from Scooby Doo, very stupid. It will jump down to you. It can shoot bombs from his mouth. After five hits, he'll release a power- up. Fifteen hits should kill him after which the level is over. =============================================================================== 4.5- Level 5 [A405] =============================================================================== There is some spiky blue Bomb flying around. Let's call it a Shuriken Bomb. You'll have to shoot a couple of laser beams to kill hit. One hit from below will work too. Fly up. If you land on the first floor, you'll see an enemy you also encountered in the first level. (One of those enemies that shoots laser beams.) You have to be on the second floor tough. There is a similar enemy to the Shuriken Bomb there but it is a little faster and has no spikes. Go to the left to find a small tank that shoots green bombs. Don't try to kill him because he is invincible. Just grab the power-up. Go to the right. You'll see some more enemies including a sort of Key/Space Ship, which can be killed with one hit. This road is fairly straightforward. At one moment, you'll encounter a tank and a black screen. Three rockets will start cycling the computer screen and a face will appear. While it is there, you can use it to warp. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for them to reappear. You'll have to follow a simple road again until you reach a Skull. You'll have to beat him. He shoots green laser beams but can't hit you when you duck. It will move after five hits, just repeat the process. He'll also shoot heat-seeking missiles. It takes about fifty hits to kill him. Run to the right. There is another computer screen with the same system as the last one. This one is just harder. Congratulations, you have beaten the game. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 5- Enemies [A500] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 5.1- Level 1 [A501] =============================================================================== - Green Laser Robot: This small little robot hides and comes up to shoot you when you're near.
