Notes

  • There really isn't TOO much to do here -- get the first Enviro-Suit (for Beta Grove) and some Plastique for later on.

    Basically, just destroy ALL of the cameras.  Once you destroy enough, you can get to point G, where there are some Jump Boots.  At point F, you have to hit a switch on the wall, which will then activate some repulsors.  Then, you have to make a BIG jump from the top so you can hit the repulsors that will only lift you at a high altitude.  Once you've done that, float over and hit the switch for the force door.  Confusing?  Yes, but it's stunningly easy once you know what you're doing.

    For the Plastique, the room is at point D.  There's a button below a box on the floor -- hit it, and force bridges will extend and disappear.  Here comes a difficult arcade-like sequence: jump at the right time on the right bridges to reach point E, which contains the plastiques!  You may want to wait until you get the Jump Boots before tackling this area, but you can get there without boots.  Once you've in the room, get 4 Plastiques and hit the switch.

    At point B (the code to get in is 838) get the suit and the Plastique.  You only need a total of 4 Plastiques, so you can drop any spares.  That's about it for this level.
