Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I can't find all five objects in a level? You must collect all five mission objects to progress to subsequent levels. Explore thoroughly and check less obvious areas - many objects are hidden behind puzzles, on high platforms, or require specific maneuvers to reach.

How do I defeat Emperor Zurg? When facing Zurg, use your environment for cover while he fires his plasma shots. During his reloading phases, target his chestplate with your laser until it turns red, then use your spin attack or rapid fire. Repeat this pattern while avoiding his mine traps and drone minions.

Can I replay levels after completing them? Yes, once you've completed a level you can return to it to improve your completion time or search for missed collectibles. This is particularly useful for gathering extra Pizza Planet tokens and achieving full completion.
