| HERE IS THE FIRST PART OF THE VIGILANTE 8 WALKTHROUGH 1 - G A M E I N F O 1.1-Controls and Menus 1.2-Screen Explained 1.3-Upgrading & Customizing 1.4-Propulsion Mechanisms 1.5-Weapons, Power-Ups, and Stuff 1.6-Car Specs ====================================== 1 - G A M E I N F O ====================================== This entire section is devoted to help people who do NOT have the instruction manual for one reason or another. Almost all of it is straight from the instruction manual except little notes I put in it. This is included because I have received a large number of e-mails asking one thing or another about a game that I wrote a FAQ for because they didn't have the instruction manual so this will (hopefully) save the time of someone e-mailing me and me e-mailing them back. Please note this is not my original work except for the little comments! --------------------------------------- 1.1-Controls and Menus --------------------------------------- The controls for the game is as follows- D-Pad and Analog Thumb Pad=steer vehicle Y Button-select target B Button-toggle weapons A Button-gas X Button-brake Back Right Button-fire machine gun Back Left Button-fire selected weapon B + Y Buttons-change view Menu Guide- One Player- Quest Mode- Quest mode consists of a series of eight levels for each character. To win each level, you must complete the mission objectives and destroy all enemy vehicles. Enemy vehicles are automatically chosen and the number of enemy vehicles as well as each enemy's skill increases with each level successfully passed. You must fulfill both primary and secondary objectives before destroying all enemies. You can review your objectives at any time during game play by pressing the START button to pause the game, and selecting Objectives. Successfully completing all objectives will lead to "unlocking" additional character/vehicles! If you fail to fulfill any of the mission objectives in Quest Mode, you can replay that level and try again. Your primary objectives usually requires you to find and collect some items(e.g., a few briefcases or gas cans). Occasionally, you will be required to deliver these items to a specific location. Collected items get stored in one of your weapon slots. If your mission objective requires that you deliver an item somewhere on the map, drive to that location, select the item to deliver by using the TOGGLE WEAPON button and then eject it by pressing the FIRE SELECTED WEAPON button. You can only unload your collected items at the required locations. Briefcases, bombs, gas cans, and tool boxes are the 4 items that can be collected and delivered. Arcade Mode- In Arcade mode, you must select an arena, a vehicle and opponents.(You may select up to 12 enemy vehicles per arena) NOTE-this is a great way to quickly get some more points to upgrade your car. For example, you could pick 5 Blue Burro Buses to fight and quickly kill them off since the Burro Bus is a large slow vehicle and get tons of points for it) Survival Mode- In Survival Mode, you must select an arena, a vehicle and opponents. The object is to see how many enemies you can destroy before you are eliminated. You will face unlimited waves of enemies with a maximum of four enemies facing you at any given time. The number of cars you destroy will be displayed as icons on the bottom right of the screen. You will also get a repair wrench power-up each time you total an enemy car. NOTE-I didn't include 2 player descriptions because you can basically figure that out for yourself and if you can't you shouldn't be playing the game. Options Screen- Game Status-Shows the status of all unlocked/available characters for players 1 through 4 Difficulty-This section allows players to adjust difficulty and weapons damage. First select the player(s) difficulty you want to adjust, then select difficulty levels(87 easy, 89 medium, 92 hard). Here you can also adjust weapon damage settings for each player, which will affect the amount of damage objects and vehicles can sustain before being destroyed. A low damage setting will typically result in lengthy battles, and vice versa. Select the player(s) you want to adjust damage for and then select a weapons damage setting(1 bullet-low damage, 2 bullets-medium damage, 3 bullets-high damage). Backstory-read the story behind Vigilante 8:Second Offense --------------------------------------- 1.2-Screen Explained --------------------------------------- The following is an explanation of all the things that are in the screen when facing other cars.

These are shown in the Select Player screen. However, each vehicle and its default values can be upgraded. Each time the player destroys an enemy, a "salvage points" power-up appears on the map. Salvage point power-ups are worth 2-10 salvage points each(depending on the Difficulty/Damage settings) and enhance the characteristics of the player's vehicle. For example, if the player picks up 10 acceleration salvage points, their car will accelerate more quickly next time around. When the player obtains 50 points of a specific type, their vehicle is upgraded, and a new attachment is added to the chassis. The attachments include wider tire, spoiler wings, antennas, ram bars, etc. When the player obtains a full 100 points in every category, they are rewarded with a completely new chassis for their car. Customizing- The player can customize the color of his vehicle by pressing the Y BUTTON at the Select Player screen. --------------------------------------- 1.4-Propulsion Mechanisms --------------------------------------- Throughout the game, the player will be able to transform his vehicle using different propulsion mechanisms. These propulsion mechanisms change the way each vehicle handles, allowing them to perform different maneuvers and travel to different areas of each level. The different propulsion mechanisms can be obtained by picking up the appropriate power-up icons. Once collected, the mechanism will remain attached and functional until a moderate amount of damage is sustained, in which case it will revert to standard wheels or a different mechanism power-up is collected. Any mechanism can be ejected manually by simultaneously pressing the A and Y BUTTONS. The following is a list of the propulsion mechanisms available in the game- Hoverpods- Hoverpods enable each vehicle to hover a few feet off of the ground. This gives each car the ability to travel over virtually any terrain, and the ability to jump much farther than usual. Be careful when using these, however, as the resulting loss in traction can cause the vehicle to slide around more than it usually does on wheels. Hydrofloaters- Hydrofloaters help a great deal when traveling over water. They transform the player's vehicle into a sea-faring vessel, changing the front tires into flotation devices and the rear ones into propellers. When the player drives back onto the land, the hydrofloaters automatically revert to standard tires. Skis N' Treads- These provide a tremendous advantage on snow levels, as they help maintain traction on slippery surfaces. Using Skis N' Treads turns each vehicle's front wheels into skis, and rear wheels into oversized, treaded tires. --------------------------------------- 1.5-Weapons, Power-Ups, and Stuff --------------------------------------- Weapons- Combo Key- Up=^ Down=\/ Right=> Left=< Machine Gun=M EXAMPLE-Up, Up, Down, Fire Machine Gun= ^,^,\/,M Costs= how many of weapon ammo needed for combo INTERCEPTOR MISSILES(Guided Missiles) --------------------------------------- Moves- ^,^,\/,M (Costs 2) ^,^,^,M (Costs 2) ^,^,>,M (Costs 2-4) BULL'S EYE ROCKETS(Dumb Fire Rockets) --------------------------------------- Moves- ^,\/,\/,M (Costs 2) ^,\/,^,M (Costs 2-5) ^,\/,>,M (Costs 3) SKY HAMMER MORTAR(Experimental Auto-Tracking Mortar) --------------------------------------- Moves- \/,\/,\/,M (Costs 2) \/,\/,^,M (Costs 2-5) \/,\/,>,M (Costs 2) BRUISER CANNON(Auto-Targeting Cannon) --------------------------------------- Moves- \/,^,\/,M (Costs 2) \/,^,^,M (Costs 2-6) \/,^,>,M (Costs 2) ROADKILL MINES --------------------------------------- Moves- <,>,\/,M (Costs 2) <,>,^,M (Costs 2-6) <,>,>,M (Costs 2) BRIMSTONE BURNER --------------------------------------- Moves- >,<,^,M (Costs 10) >,<,\/,M (Costs 2-6) >,<,>,M (Costs 5) Power-Ups- Shield(GREEN)-Special force-field protects the vehicle from being damaged for a limited time Radar Jammer(YELLOW)-Confuses enemy radar and homing devices for a limited time Weapon Upgrade(BLUE)-Doubles the damage factor of any standard weapon fired for a limited time Repair Wrench-Partial damage repair Stuff- Green Crate-Contains a special weapon for vehicle Brown Crate-Surprise: may contain any standard weapon or a special weapon --------------------------------------- 1.6-Car Specs --------------------------------------- Car Rating System is as follows- Perfect=Couldn't be better, is one of the best in the game Great=A good aspect of car and is very helpful Good=Average Bad=Some difficulties or problems with aspect of car Terrible=Makes car a pain in the neck to use Worst=Don't use this car! --------------------------------------- Sheila/Wonderwagon --------------------------------------- Sheila-Convoy's niece put her academic studies on hold when she received an alarming call from John Torque. Apparently, the Coyotes had resurfaced, led by a mysterious new leader, and both her uncle and Houston were missing! Wonderwagon Base Stats- Acceleration-348 Speed-176 Armor-86 Target Avoidance-310 Special Weapon-Tantrum Gun, shoots large bullets like the machine gun but only has 50 ammo per box and hits for more damage. Cannot auto-lock onto target Steering-Good Speed-Good Armor-Bad Special Weapon-Terrible Hoverpod Steering-Good Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Good Overall-Bad --------------------------------------- John Torque/Thunderbolt --------------------------------------- John Torque-Horrified when he found his friends Convoy and Houston missing, J.T. unearthed a couple of old Mosquitoes from Convoy's backyard and set out on a search for his friends... Thunderbolt Base Stats- Acceleration-400 Speed-344 Armor-182 Target Avoidance-104 Special Weapon-Wheel O'Fortune, shoots a large round from a 6-shooter barrel which propels the enemy car backwards and takes off a large amount of damage if it hits the car. No auto-lock onto target. Steering-Great Speed-Good Armor-Good Special Weapon-Great Hoverpod Steering-Great Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Good Overall-Great --------------------------------------- All Star Trio/Dakota Stunt Cycle --------------------------------------- All Star Trio-Tomey, Romey, and Leilah began touring at the age of 14 and their incredible stunt shhows soon captivated audiences nationwide. In 1977, they set out for the Southwest in search of their missing sister. Stunt Cycle Base Stats- Acceleration-336 Speed-204 Armor-50 Target Avoidance-348 Special Weapon-Soaring Glory,about the only good thing about this vehicle is it's special weapon. It shoot 3 rockets into the air which then lock on to your target and hit. Even though it only has 3 ammo about 2 of them will kill the character if they all hit and almost never miss unless an object is blocking the way. Steering-Bad Speed-Great Armor-Terrible Special Weapon-Perfect Hoverpod Steering-Terrible Hydrofloater Steering-Worst Skis N' Treads Steering-Bad Overall-Terrible --------------------------------------- Garbage Man/Grubb Dual Loader --------------------------------------- Garbage Man-He was first spotted in 1976 near Necada, rummaging through a landfill. He's been seen as far as Florida and Oregon but didn't appear to be associated with any trash company. No one knew what he did with the stolen refuse... Grubb Dual Loader Base Stats- Acceleration-180 Speed-50 Armor-376 Target Avoidance-78 Special Weapon-Compctor, my absolute favorite special weapon which picks up the enemy in front of you and either shakes it up and down if it is big or throws it in the back of the garbage truck and spits it out of the back. A very powerful weapon but has a very short range:( Steering-Bad Speed-Bad(it is only a garbage truck) Armor-Perfect Special Weapon-Great Hoverpod Steering-Good Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Bad Overall-Good --------------------------------------- Astronaut Bob O./Moon Trekker --------------------------------------- Astronaut Bob O.-No one ever heard the astonaut speak, or saw his face, which was always hidden behind a helmet. He was simply known as Bob O. When new auto skirmishes began in the fall of 1977, Bob's rover was often reported seen amidst the action. Moon Trekker Base Stats- Acceleration-322 Speed-64 Armor-134 Target Avoidance-308 Special Weapon-Collector, another short range special weapon. The collector has is two claws that starts swiping and tearing at the car in front of it. It can do a lot of damage if you hit the car from start to finish with this special weapon but isn't all that useful otherwise. Steering-Terrible Speed-Good Armor-Good Special Weapon-Good Hoverpod Steering-Bad Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Bad Overall-Good --------------------------------------- Agent R. Chase/Chrono Stinger --------------------------------------- Agent R. Chase-2017:Agent Chase-one of the CIA's best detectives-had been following OMAR and its enigmatic leader, Lord Clyde, for years. Following the discovery of Clyde's time warp, Agent Chase volunteered to travel to the '70s, to apprehend Clyde and bring him back. Chrono Stinger Base Stats- Acceleration-374 Speed-330 Armor-98 Target Avoidance-224 Special Weapon-Hard Time, a hard weapon to use yet interesting none the less. The Hard Time device shoots a yellow ball in front of the car. If it hits another car it will freeze it in place. The Hard Time itself doesn't do any damage but allows you to unleash any other weapons you may have handy. Not a very useful weapon when it comes down to it since you only get one a crate and you need to have another weapon before you launch it. Steering-Good Speed-Perfect Armor-Good Special Weapon-Terrible Hoverpod Steering-Good Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Good Overall-Good --------------------------------------- Nina Loco/El Guerrero --------------------------------------- Nina Loco-A master smuggler and dealmaker, Nina managed to stockpile most of the classified weaponry that was originally stolen from the military by the Coyotes. Wanted by the FBI and Mexican mob, she gladly signed up with Clyde. El Guerrero Base Stats- Acceleration-336 Speed-260 Armor-206 Target Avoidance-136 Special Weapon-Lemming Missile, a very cool looking special weapon that launches 3 homing missiles directly at the targeted enemy. However, this weapon takes off little damage and using normal missiles would be more effective. Steering-Good Speed-Good Armor-Great Special Weapon-Bad Hoverpod Steering-Great Hydrofloater Steering-Good Skis N' Treads Steering-Good Overall-Good --------------------------------------- Dallas 13/Palomino XIII --------------------------------------- Dallas 13-2017:Dallas 13 was the latest and most advanced "biobot" in OMAR's long line of cybernetic henchmen. Dallas was created specifically for Lord Clyde's Mission '70's. Palomino XIII Base Stats- Acceleration-362 Speed-316 Armor-232 Target Avoidance-72 Special Weapon-Mega Collider, a fun and awsome weapon to use against your enemies. Shooting a beam across an open field it will hurt and vehicle that gets in it's path and flip it over with tremendous force. However, the gun overall only does a lot of damage if you hit the car for the full time period the laser is on.
