Hawk Attack Red Alert! The giant robot, Meca Hawk, is attacking the city! Hit Meca Hawk with 5 missiles! Meca Hawk is a large, silver robot that moves around a portion of the island. It attacks by throwing rocks at you or by standing in your flight path. Meca Hawk moves quickly and will run off every time it is attacked, so it can be a bit difficult to keep up with it. Attacking it with 5 missiles will make it fall, but his stature can make those missiles fly under its arms or between its legs. Once Meca Hawk is destroyed, return to the landing strip.

Meca Hawk Again Red alert! Meca Hawk has returned! Hit him with 5 missiles to destroy him. You must destroy him to receive time points. Meca Hawk is in the ocean, swimming around. It will attack by throwing chunks of ice at you. Meca Hawk moves quickly and will swim away every time it is attacked, so it can be a bit difficult to keep up with it.

Once Meca Hawk is destroyed, return to the landing strip.
