Ultimate Spider-Man (USA)

Whether you’re a new player jumping into this retro GBA Spider-Man adventure or a returning fan looking to 100% complete the game, these tips will help you master web-slinging and take down Venom’s rampage across New York. First, get comfortable with traversal early: Spider-Man’s web-slinging controls on GBA are a bit different from modern games, so practice swinging between low buildings in the downtown area before you tackle main story missions. Tap the jump button just as you release a web to gain extra height, which will let you cross large gaps between skyscrapers without falling to the streets, saving you time that would otherwise be spent climbing back up. When playing as Spider-Man, prioritize using your webbing to immobilize enemies before attacking, especially when you’re facing multiple thugs at once. A well-timed web shot will stun group enemies, letting you take them out one by one without taking unnecessary damage. For boss fights as Spider-Man, always keep moving: most large bosses like Green Goblin use area-of-effect attacks that are easy to dodge if you stay swinging around the arena instead of standing on the ground. When playing as Venom, his playstyle is completely different: he relies on brute force and health leeching to win fights. Always use your bite attack on weaker enemies to replenish your health, especially before facing a boss. For collectors looking to find all hidden comic book covers across the map, start by unlocking the full map early by completing the first few main story missions. Most rare covers are located on the rooftops of the tallest skyscrapers near midtown Manhattan, so keep your camera angled up as you swing to spot the glowing collectibles. If you’re stuck on the final Venom vs. Carnage boss fight, remember to use Venom’s health leech constantly: Carnage deals high damage, but you can outlast him by chomping on the minor symbiote spawns he summons to refill your health between attacks.
