V I P (Europe) (EnFrDeEsItNl)

Getting the most out of V I P (Europe) on GBA starts with mastering a few core mechanics and pro tips that will help you clear tough missions and unlock all hidden content. First, get comfortable with your basic moves early: the A button handles standard punch and kick attacks, while double-tapping the B button triggers a dodge roll that is critical for avoiding boss attacks and enemy ranged fire. Never stand still when fighting multiple enemies, as goons with guns will easily chip down your health if you don’t keep moving. Next, always break every wooden crate and loose environmental object you see. Many hide useful items, including first aid kits that restore your health, and collectible V.I.P. tokens that are required to unlock the game’s bonus content. Collecting 100% of tokens across all missions unlocks a secret survival mode and alternate outfits for Vallery, content you can’t access any other way. If you get stuck on the security terminal puzzles that pop up in the mid-game, remember that the correct code is hinted at in the note you find in the security office earlier in the level. Guessing the code incorrectly triggers an alarm that spawns three extra heavily armed guards, so always backtrack to check the clue if you forgot it. For boss fights, watch for tells before powerful attacks: for example, the first boss, arms dealer Victor Castle, rears his weapon back three full seconds before charging, so dodge roll sideways to avoid the attack, then strike him from behind while he recovers. In the late-game stealth segments at the embassy, don’t try to fight every guard. Instead, use the throwable soda cans you find along the way to distract guards and slip past them undetected, saving your health for the final boss fight. Finally, always use the game’s built-in save feature after completing each mission; this release supports battery save directly to the cartridge, so you won’t lose your progress if you turn off your game.
