Moon Patrol/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

{{Header Nav|game=Moon Patrol}}

Moon Patrol contains two unique "courses"; the easier Beginner Course, and the harder Champion Course which loops forever (and gets even more difficult) each time it's completed. Both courses are divided into twenty-six checkpoints labeled A through Z, which are further divided into five "stages". At the end of each stage, your time is compared to the average time for potential bonus points. After completely finishing a course, you will receive an additional 5000 points.

;C:Three elliptical crafts will appear. Destroy them for a 500 point bonus while you jump over the two pits and destroy the rock.

;D:Two tri-orb crafts will introduce themselves. Be careful of the pits that their grenades might make. They are quickly followed by two regular ships. One stone and one pit precedes the end.

=== F - J ===

;E:The section begins with two tri-orb crafts followed by two elliptical crafts. A pit and rock appear towards the end.

;H:There are simply two tri-orbs and two regular crafts in this section.

;I:The first group of three tri-orbs will appear. Destroy them all for 500 points. Then a rapid succession of pits and rocks will occur, including double and small rocks. You may wish to slow down towards the end to deal with them all.

=== K - O ===

;J:This section introduces you to land mines, the small objects that flash white and red. Like pits, they can not be destroyed and must be jumped over. They tend to occur in rapid succession, so it is recommended that you travel no faster than regular speed until you are an expert player.

;M:Space craft resume their attack and this time four of the first type appear to attack. Destroy them all for an 800 point bonus. This is followed by three elliptical crafts, worth 500 bonus points if they are all destroyed.

;N:Four tri-orbs appear, followed by three elliptical crafts. If you can destroy them all, you'll net a 1300 point bonus.

=== P - T ===

;O:A quad of tri-orbs start off this section, followed by three regular crafts.

;R:As you begin to descend downhill, a pair of both regular space crafts will appear and bomb you from overhead.

;S:Three regular crafts appear near simultaneously with three tri-orb craft. Stay alert to newly formed pits.

=== U - Z ===

;T:A rapid succession of pits and double rocks appear. Take this section at the normal speed until you feel comfortable speeding up.

;C:More tanks appear with short breaks of pits and rocks.

;D:Four regular crafts fly in while you must continue to navigate over several deep pits and clear the rocks in your way. Destroy all of the crafts for 800 bonus points.

=== F - J ===

;E:Three pairs of tri-orbs appear, providing a near constant shower of grenades. No bonus points are awarded for destroying all of the crafts because they are considered pairs.

;H:Three of the regular and elliptical crafts appear among more pits and rocks.

;I:Four tri-orb crafts arrive. Destroy them as quickly as possible before the terrain gets more difficult up ahead. Among the pits and rocks are pit plants that must be dealt with. Slow the buggy down towards the end.

=== K - O ===

;J:This section starts off with an uphill climb. Boulders now appear more frequently and groups of three are not uncommon. Do not be determined to destroy them all. Leap over a set if they prove too difficult to shoot in time.

;M:More mines appear. In this section, some mine pairs are so close that it's actually possible to hurdle the combination at top speed, but this requires great familiarity with the mine sequence before attempting.

;N: Five tri-orbs appear, for a unique chance at a 1000 point bonus for clearing them all. Four regular crafts appear as well.

=== P - T ===

;O:As soon as you begin your descent down the hill, five elliptical crafts swarm overhead with four regular crafts. Once you reach the bottom of the hill, a tricky combination of rocks and pits occurs, so clear the crafts as quickly as possible.

;R:More rocks and pits show up, with the pit plants occupying the later batch.

;S:Five tri-orbs are accompanied by three elliptical crafts. A few rocks show up towards the end.

=== U - Z ===

;T:As the section starts out, a few rocks and pits get in your way before a rocket car appears. This time, it will launch shortly after you land from a jump over a pit, so be ready to jump back up again as the car approaches.

;Y:A full combination of tanks, pits, rocks, and plants will assail you during the very final section of the Champion Course.
