Bucky O'Hare Cheats For NES

1. Quick kill on the second last boss

   This is probably the toughest boss in the game: a giant ship that you slowly circle around as various guns shoot at you. As you go under, it's quite difficult to avoid getting squished.
   
   Contrary to what the guides say, all you need to destroy is the engine at the back (not all the gun emplacements) and it can be done on the first pass with no need to go under the ship.
   
   Switch to Willy as you go over the ship and be efficient about your movement going around the tail fin to get yourself into position behind the engine as quickly as possible. Then get into a rhythm of alternating firing at the engine and dodging the bullets coming at you.
   
   If done efficiently you'll get in enough shots to bring down the ship before it moves on and you have to go under. With a bit of practice it's relatively easy to do without taking damage.

4. Maxed passwords

   These passwords will start you on the designated stage with the characters listed in your party and with max POWER. All characters are in your party during the final 4 stages (except for the "Cell" stage, which only lets you start out with Bucky & Blinky).
   
   NOTE: The majority of these passwords cannot be obtained through normal play, and were acquired by hacking the game's password system.
