Mission: Impossible/Area 2

This area is a short shooter-like interlude. You will be driving a fast motorboat in the canals of Venice. The screen will automatically move upwards at great speed. With the control pad you will control the movements of the motorboat and with the A button you can shoot, in front of you. Along the way you will encounter some enemies aboard jet skis or motorboats. If they come against you you will take some damage. The motorboats can also shoot you. It is therefore best to shoot continuously and try to hit the enemies before they can hit you. If you run out of vital energy, it's game over. You will also have to be very careful never to hit the buildings on the side of the canal or the speedboat will explode and it will be immediate game over. In the canal there are also some logs; passing over them, they will allow you to jump. This can sometimes be useful for avoiding enemies.

About halfway along the path, a helicopter will also appear, which will stand in front of you for some time, shooting at you. Avoiding its attacks is not easy. If you approach the helicopter with the speedboat, it will change position, moving behind you and attacking you from behind. A good way to get around the helicopter is this: approach it with the motorboat, then, when it passes behind you, retreat immediately, approaching again. The helicopter will then return to the front and you can repeat the procedure. The helicopter cannot shoot you as it changes position, thus preventing it from attacking you. Keep doing this until it goes away. Try to conserve your vital energy as much as possible and you shouldn't have too many problems getting over this area. In less than a minute you will arrive at the finish line, at the entrance to the temple.
