X-Men

Game Details:

This "X-Men" game is a typical side-scrolling beat 'em up, blending action, puzzle-solving, and platforming elements. Players can switch between two selected X-Men at any time. Each character has their unique strengths: Wolverine has self-healing abilities and melee claws; Cyclops fires ranged Omega beams; Storm can fly and release lightning; Colossus excels in strength and high defense. The core gameplay involves utilizing these different abilities to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, and bosses. The game's level design is highly creative and challenging, requiring players to precisely time jumps and attacks in many places.

Master Character Switching and Ability Complementarity:

The game allows players to switch between two selected characters at any time (using the pause menu). This isn't just for fun; it's key to clearing the game. For instance: when facing scenarios that require breaking specific obstacles or resisting flames, Colossus's high defense is essential; when dealing with distant targets or airborne enemies, Cyclops's ranged attacks are the best choice; Storm's flight ability can be used to avoid ground traps; and Wolverine's low profile and fast attacks are suitable for close-quarters combat. Be sure to switch characters frequently and strategically based on the needs of the scene.

Energy Bar Management:

All characters' special abilities (such as Cyclops's laser, Storm's lightning) will consume energy bars. Once the energy is depleted, these abilities will be unusable until the energy slowly recovers. Therefore, do not overuse special abilities, especially before boss battles. Reserve enough energy to deal with critical moments. When clearing ordinary grunts, use normal punches and kicks to conserve energy.

Hidden "Restart" Clearing Mechanism:

The second-to-last level of the game is "Mystique's Trial," where many players get stuck because they can't find the door to the next level. This is actually a famous design puzzle: when reaching a computer terminal and being prompted "Cannot Pass," the player needs to keep the MD console powered on, and then press the "RESTART" button on the console. This operation simulates the X-Men "restarting" the dangerous room program infected by the Magneto virus in the game's story, thereby unlocking new levels. If you are playing on an emulator, you need to find the corresponding "soft reset" function.

Boss Battle Weakness Exploitation:

Many bosses have fixed attack patterns and weaknesses. For example, when dealing with some flying bosses, using Storm's ranged lightning attacks can maintain a safe distance. When dealing with Juggernaut, you need to utilize the stiffening time after his dash to attack. Observe the boss's attack cycle patiently, and use the advantages of your two heroes (one defends and draws fire, the other outputs remotely) to perform the "two-person rotation" tactic.
