Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship/Preludon



Planet 1 is short and easy. First thing you want to do is smash your ship into the rocks so you are in your human form. Then quickly head left and slightly upward. Along the left side, right underneath an overhang, is a Cyberzone, so fly into that (It's easier to get to it in your human form. It's hard to get to if you don't know it's there, but since it's the first thing you do you can just start the game over and try again.

After than head downward, destroying the guns when they open up to fire. Just be careful not to get hit by a bullet, since one hit will destroy your ship. At the lowest point your will see a weird shaped thing, that is your shields, so when all the guns are destroyed fly near it to pick it up, then fly back to the large ship, drop it in, and you now have shields.

Refuel if you need, then follow the path back towards the shields, and take a right. At the bottom of the planet after the narrow passage is a diamond, so grab it and take it back to the ship.

Go back down the path, continuing past the crystal, destroying whatever enemies you come across. You'll see a large wormhole in the bottom right corner, but you can't go in yet, so head upward into a small alcove. There is a fuel cell, so once the guns are gone, take the cell back to the ship.

Now, refuel and head back to the wormhole. Now you can get through if you drop your shields. You'll be in a small cave with two guns and a huge artifact. Take out the guns and grab the artifact, which is a piece of the Golden Warpship. Rather than trying to take the artifact back through the large wormhole (you can't do it, so don't bother trying) take it through the small circular wormhole. It's harder than it sounds because the wormhole is wedged in a corner so you have to swing the Ship part into it. If you lose your ship, just go through the large wormhole. Once you get the ship piece through, smash your ship to get into human form and fly through the large wormhole to leave the planet and go to the first Cyberzone.

Hidden warp to stage 7
Note that there is a little-known warp to planet 7 in this stage. Accessing this warp is difficult and not recommended, as you'll end up tackling one of the hardest stages in the game without any pod upgrades. To access it, you must immediately travel to the chamber with the fuel as soon as you start the level and kill the stationary, half-dead enemy sitting in the middle of it. He will leave behind a warp that takes you to planet 7. You have to be fast, as he despawns soon after starting the level.

Intermission: Store #1
In stock:
 * Homing Missiles
 * Time Bombs
 * Titanium Bullet Pack
 * Efficient Engines
 * Mapping Device

You are now able to spend any money (points) that you earned on the first planet on various items here. The homing missiles and time bombs aren't that useful, and the bullets are expensive and have a limited use. Two items you might want to buy are the Efficient Engines and the Mapping Device. However, the engines will only help you get one item, and there is a free mapping device on the next planet.
