Totally Spies! (Europe) (EnFrDeEsItNl)

To get the most out of your playthrough of Totally Spies! for GBA, follow these key tips and strategies. First, master character switching: the game is designed around using each spy’s unique strengths, so never stick to just one character for an entire level. For tech obstacles like locked terminals or security lasers, pull out Sam to disable or hack devices quickly. If you need to cross wide gaps, scale walls, or sneak through small ventilation ducts, Clover’s agility makes these challenges trivial. When you encounter breakable walls, heavy crates, or need extra damage against tough enemies, swap to Alex to get the job done faster. You can switch characters instantly with the GBA’s L and R shoulder buttons, so get in the habit of swapping on the fly. Next, don’t skip side exploration. Every level hides secret gadget collectibles and bonus WOOHP data logs that unlock exclusive concept art from the animated series and extra character dialogue. Most secrets are tucked behind hidden walls that only Alex can break, so keep an eye out for cracked walls along the edges of levels. For stealth sections, stay out of guard visibility cones. If you need to get past a group of guards, use Clover’s nail polish tranquilizer to knock them out temporarily, or use Sam’s lip gloss laser to take out security cameras before you enter an area. For boss battles, remember that every boss has a weakness tied to character skills. For example, the fashion factory villain’s fabric spool traps can only be destroyed by Alex; once the traps are gone, swap to Sam to hack the boss’s control panel to stun them before landing your final attacks. Keep an eye out for coffee vending machines scattered through levels, they refill your health, so always grab a pick-me-up before moving into a new area. If you’re stuck on a puzzle, open your WOOHP communicator in the pause menu for a free hint about your next objective.
