Speed Square's Roller Coaster Ride
In Speed Square you race around a roller coaster track and
shoot things with a laser. The more things you shoot the more points
you gain. The more points you gain the better the prizes. Pretty Simple, eh.
When you firing your laser, remeber, NEVER hold the button down.
Doing so will only drain your energy and your laser will get weak
and useless. Instead press the controller button very rapidly.
A turbo controller helps. There are a number of secret targets that
you can go for to maximize your score. The first one is the
Propeller on the steam ship. After the first "area" which
consists of Stone Cliffs, you will reach an open area. A steam
ship appears, hit its moving propeller for one point a hit.
The second bonus is an invisible rock. After the steamship,
you turn back where you can see the cliff faces. Close to the
top of your screen, there is a double rock formation: one visible rock
to the left, and one "shadowed" rock to the right. Hit the shadowed
rock for 200 points. You'll notice that there will be few opponents
around. Sorry but this is really hard to describe. A "cheat" in the
Speed Square is the Zeppelin Propeller. I find this target extremely
difficult to hit, but if you hit it enough, I hear that your score
will go heywire and you can get upwards of 30 000 points from it.
The Zeppelin appears to the right of your screen just after the
bend you encounter when the Balloons are done and the U.F.O.'s
start appearing on your screen.
Be sure you destroy the large U.F.O. because it gives you
1000 points. To destroy it, hit the button as madly as you can.
The last secret target is the Searchlight. After the U.F.O., there is
a bend in the track where your coaster will slow down. On the right
side of the screen, there are searchlights around the castle. Hit the
second-last light for 200 points.
The targets (with the exception of the Zeppelin) are not difficult
to hit, but they're difficult to describe without a picture. I am really
sorry if this didn't help.
