ABOUT THE GAME/GUIDE
Worms is a turn-based strategy game with real-time components set in the fantasy
universe of anthropomorphic worms. This version, "A Space Oddity" brings the
worms franchise to the next gen Wii console with a science fiction fantasy
theme. No online play though. And if you rename "guest" or make any progress
there it will not be saved. Rename "Player 1". Kind of important. Oh, yeah,
this is my first FAQ ever. Long time gamer first time contributor.

OUTLINE
The Main Menu offers a chance to jump right into a Quick Game in single player
mode. Versus is where you can launch multiplayer battles or customize precisely
the conflict to have. Customization lets you define certain game type
conditions, the look and feel of your worms and even has a level editor. Mini
Games lets you practice the six mini games that serve as the six final levels.
Options adjusts sound and music and rolls the credits, and Single Player lets
you view your achievements, train on each of the weapons, and lets you acess
story mode.
This guide addresses all 36 levels of Story Mode. Use your text browser's find
tool to locate strategies for your desired level.
GUIDE
1-1 Unlockable:The Astronaut hat. Welcome to story mode. To start, we'll take
three worms at 100 health each against just two little 30 health enemies.
The Impact frag should be enough to finish them off. To grab the special
crate use the very first worm you get to control to walk to the left by
pressing the direction pad and jump over the first gap with the A button.
When you get to the tall wall with an enemy at the top do a double jump by
facing away from where you want to go and tapping A twice. Drop down to
the special crate to claim it. The worm claiming the crate need not
survive the battle to have it count but your worms must win the battle.
One the crate is claimed unload your Impact frags on the enemy. The timed
frag may have specific uses when the enemy is located at the bottom of a
well, simply lob the timed frag into the well and let it settle down in the
bottom with the enemy then BOOM! - it makes targeting easier in that case.
1-2 Unlockable:The R.I.P. gravestone. In this level you get two blasters and a
punch and eventually a UFO strike along with the usual frags. The worm
count is even at three on three but yours have twice the health. The wall
here you cannot double jump so you will have to wait for some battle damage
to to let you through to the crate or cause some damage of your own.
Remember to grab the crate as soon as the wall is blown clear through and
before the last enemy bites it.
1-3 Unlockable:The Creepy speech-bank. Same three on three matchup as last
level. To get the special crate use the defensive shield not for defense
but as a bridge across the gap in the middle of the level. When you are
ready to finish the enemies off try the new auto homing frag for fun and
destruction!
1-4 Unlockable:The Insignia flag. Its you against two other worms, everyone at
100 health. Not only must you defeat them but then collect all the pieces
and the special crate. Starting move I recommend collecting the crate to
the left and the special crate quickly using double jumps where necessary,
then hit one guy before they get a chance to shoot. When you finish off
both guys collect the remaining parts with the excavator shovel (you can
dig up at an angle) and the teleporter for the final piece.
1-5 Unlockable:The Eyeball hat. Another solo mission. Get the special crate
first thing then toast the three 150 worms with the normal frag and
eventually the guided frag and UFO. Be very careful blasting for the final
crate as too direct of a hit can blow it up.
1-6 Yeay - the first mini game. All of the final levels are mini-games like
something from Wario ware and should not be too challenging. Try training
on the mini-games for some more intense stages if the rocket game is giving
you any trouble.
2-1 Unlockable:The Alien hat. After a video sequence have fun with this level
where you have fewer units but more health overall. Use the rocket pack to
fly over to the special crate and have fun with cluster frags for when
enemies are bunched up and the wide range of destruction will catch two or
more of them.
2-2 Unlockable:The Post gravestone. Here is the level I decided to get into
FAQ writing for. The trick is getting good at punching. If you haven't
yet try the punching training levels to practice getting the most from your
punches. Really punch with that wiimote like you mean it. Develop a
repeatable system. OK, start the level by collecting the punch crate and
jumping over the gap and the guy. Shoot the barrel with the blaster so it
blows up the barrier over the next jump. Go back to the left of the boss
and punch him with an uppercut. Hold the wiimote low, press B, then
violently thrust the wiiimote up over your head releasing B as you begin.
The boss needs to be clear across the gap. Jump past him and double jump
to the special crate. Dig for the second punch crate and return to the
left side of the boss. Another good uppercut should send him into the
bounce plant and off to the watery grave on the right. You've really got
to earn this level. Good luck!
2-3 Unlockable:The Captain speech-bank. Two minutes. Eight worms to blow up.
That's fifteen seconds per worm, and you've got to walk over and get the
special crate. You really can't delay. Just start shooting like mad. You
can hit them from below and might even get a two for one so just start
shooting don't spend all day lining up the perfect frag trajectory.
2-4 Unlockable:The Strong Worm flag. Two 125 health worms vs. four 50s. No
problem. Rocket pack plus teleporter means special crate is yours and the
auto frag has to be everyone's favorite worm repellent.
2-5 Unlockable:The Logical speech-bank. In this race, simply jump to the right
and bounce to the special crate, then bounce back and to the upper left for
the first piece. Next, fall down to the far left and get launched by that
landmine. Don't worry you'll survive and these crates heal you. Hop left
to grab the second crate and use the remaining mines to blast you across
the final gaps.
2-6 It's Whack-A-Mole worms style! Just hit the four tentacles except the ones
with your worm buddies. Wasn't this also a level in Rayman?
3-1 Unlockable:The Helmet hat. Welcome to ice world. Start by triggering the
land mine you start near and then trigger the other two mines on either end
of the bottom of the level. Use all the jet pack you need to get around.
You get four punches to get the worms down through the central funnel and
off to the water on the sides. Using straight jabs this time instead of
uppercuts you should be able to clean house with these guys but like all
punching levels you're going to have to earn it.
3-2 Unlockable:The Obelisk gravestone. Three on three but you have the health
advantage. Jet pack for the special crate. Frag the guys when they get
close together.
3-3 Unlockable:The Doctor speech-bank. So there is a black hole deathtrap here
which prevents you from just jumping to the special crate. With a little
help from your friend you can get an extra height boost by standing on him
and then jumping to the crate. With no reserve ammo every shot must count.
Use the standard frag to blow the landmines into the well and use a perfect
trajectory cluster frag to get in there and set everything off.
3-4 Unlockable:The Meteor flag. Two minutes. Four foes. Pick up the ammo and
shoot it at each one as you jump over landmines and make your way from
right to left across the stage. Four kills and you're clear.
3-5 Unlockable:The Zap flag. Classic combat on your final ice level. Your two
125 health worms must take on fully four 100 health worms. Good luck.
With the jet pack/teleporter you can get the special crate and then just
outlast these foes in heated combat. Punching the end guys off into the
water works well.
3-6 Bobsled level. The key is not getting too far behind that the snowball
gets you but also staying back enough for fair warning on when to jump over
the obstacles. A steady rowing motion with no rowing on steep downhills
seems to work. Besides you can eat two obstacles and still clear the
level. In fact I recommend it if only to see your poor worms rolling down
the hill comically as part of the katamari style ball. OK another
gratuitous game reference - this level plays like excitebike.
4-1 Unlockable:The Padded Hat. Now you're in low gravity world. Five 50
health space-worms face your team of just two 125 health heros. Jet pack
to the special crate and really this level is pretty standard.
4-2 Unlockable:The Digital gravestone. Four on two. Jetpack to special crate.
Yes it is starting to get repetitive.
4-3 Unlockable:The Babe speech-bank. Here is a unique level. Bounce up to the
special crate and don't be afraid to fall gravity is so low. Use two of
the atom packs to blow through the floor to expose the black holes. If
your blast didn't go through use your one extra bomb to clear it. Punch
the worms with good solid uppercuts to send them across the level to the
hole on the opposite side.
4-4 Unlockable:The Crush flag. Outnumbered five to two, but your guys are at
200 and each of them is 100. Jump out of the gap you start in and punch
the one guy off to the right. Plenty of nice weapons and a jet pack to
reinforce your efforts.
4-5 Unlockable:The Petrified gravestone. A cool level that doesn't play on the
low gravity thing so common in this world. Shovel all you like, I suggest
starting with a dig up and to the left to get the special crate then return
to the starting point and dig through the structure steering clear of any
landmines. Don't worry you won't be retracing your steps here so feel free
to dig straight down at times. When you make it to the crate its a jetpack
and you can shoot up to the top in glory, claiming the final crate. Grab
the special crate if you missed it at the beginning but watch your fuel
level!
4-6 This is a re-skinned version of the early computer game Choplifter. It
uses the jet pack control scheme you should be good at by now. Again
training is available under the mini-games button.
5-1 Unlockable:The Red hat. A fun start to robo-world! Jump to the left and
double jump up to the three platforms. Grab the crate with shovel inside
and be prepared for the precision part of this level. Drop down on the
left mine from above and let it start beeping. Give it a good full second
before walking to the other mine - triggering it and picking up the special
crate in the process. Cut back to the left and jump for safety. The
explosion from the left mine will send the right mine into the gap. That
mine will then explode opening the trap for our enemy to go down. To get
him there get to his right and begin digging to the left with your shiny
new shovel. He will be pushed off the cliff to your victory.
5-2 Unlockable:The Slab gravestone. Outnumbered four to two in worms but with
the advantage in total health 300 to 200. Good weapons and jet pack on the
way, forget the sheep I didn't have much luck here with him.
5-3 Unlockable:The Female Computer speech-bank. Just one 150 worm against five
baddies at 60 health each. Still, the game is made to work that way,
alternating by team not individual worm so with the weapon reinforcements
and jet pack not too different from most levels just be conservative.
5-4 Unlockable:The Tentacle flag. Jump onto the bounce plant, don't just walk
on it. Use the sheep to grap the crate to the far left, the mines will not
be triggered by it. I like to blast ol' bessy before she reaches the water
below but that's up to personal style. With the newly acquired weapon just
use it to bash on the foe, try the tutorial on this weapon if there are any
questions.
5-5 Unlockable:The Visor hat. The final robot mission and is it a fun one!
Not a lot of time but plenty of weapons to use. Start out with the punch
and the jet pack - just fly to the higher platforms and horizontal punch
each worm towards the center. Sometimes they will go straight into the
black holes, other times to the ends of the board at the bottom, and yet
other times onto some lower platforms. Work your way to the lower
platforms and keep clearing each of them with a punch. Use the jet pack to
grab the bouncing special crate but steer well clear of the black holes.
To finish off whatever worms are still in the corners unleash the atom
packs and other WMDs.
5-6 This game involves two motions of the wiimote - push/pull and rotate. The
sketches presented to you are pretty clearly either circle, oval, or
square. When you know what you need there is a pretty steady stream of
parts on each side of the screen and plenty of time to get it all set.
6-1 Unlockable:The Yellow hat. It's Earth - but not as we know it. Classic
tentacled aliens have invaded and it's up to you to free the planet. Pretty
classic battles. This one is 4 on 3 where everyone is 75 except two of
your guys who are 50s. Plenty of firepower due up plus jet pack. Until
this comes online try digging out of the trap you start in. Also the AI is
noticeably beefier from here on out.
6-2 Unlockable:The Cross gravestone. The guided frag level. To start, hop -
do not walk - across the minefield to the special crate all the way to the
right. Then shoot the guided frag around obstacles into thin barriers
until a clear path to the worm finishes him.
6-3 Unlockable:The Princess speech-bank. A fun race here, jump up the
platforms until you get to a frag crate. Use the frag immediately on the
wall to the right. Pass through and pick up another frag. Again frag the
wall at the right. Pass all the way over and jump down the platforms then
over to the left and a double jump to get up. Make sure you are quite
close to the platforms for a good double jump. Jump a gap right to left on
the middle level and then up and to the left. There should be two cases
left and a special crate, all on the ground floor. If you are just trying
to win the stage to unlock the final level drop down to the left and make
your way to the blue crates. But if you want the special crate go right
and jump to it. You will survive the fall and collecting the blue crate
will not end the level. Then retrace to the left to get the final crate.
6-4 Unlockable:The Bolt flag. Start with two worms at 125 health each and the
time and impact frags. Punch, UFO, and excavator x2 become available in
time. Five enemies at 75 health each should not be a problem and the
special crate is in the wide open.
6-5 Unlockable:The Column gravestone. Start with only time and impact frags
but in time the excavator, UFO, atom pack, guided frag x 2 and astro punch
become available. Your three 100 health worms must destroy all five enemy
worms at 50 health each. Killing the enemy shouldn't be a problem and to
avoid blowing up the special crate wait for the excavator tool to make that
final dig to the crate. After completing this level you will unlock the
final level and will receive a congratulations for unlocking all secrets
in the game as there is no secret left in the final level.
6-6 To truly complete the game give this level a shot - it is a Nintendo
shooter in the tradition of Duck Hunt in that you use the controller in
light gun mode to shoot down UFOs. I guess since most guns of the future
do not need to reload they give you a shotgun to add a fun reload mechanic.
Point the controller to the sky and shake vertically : "cha-chink!" the
full six rounds are reloaded. Your shots don't hurt the worm but if you
let him get abducted and then shoot the medium UFO he will fall back to
earth with some loss of life. If you are having any trouble turning this
final star green try the mini-game training. Spoiler alert - Earth still
blows up no matter what you. oops.

Try the bessy tutorial to get the hang of making her jump. It's a case of less-
than-perfect motion sensing Wii controls. Work on your jumps and you can get
bessy over to that crate. Really flip the controller hard.
> Any tips for getting through Puzzling/Quick Fire?
I replayed with my description, not sure how else to say it. Practice your
punches, get really good at them, really wind your punch up well, hold b, then
let fly with a Mike Tyson style punch.

In the top left there is a button to cycle through the six terrain environments.
The icon changes to indicate the next environment in the cycle. If you can only
get Caverna try first winning the level in single player campaign to unlock
other terrains.
