Blinx: The Time Sweeper
Level skip:
Hold Black and press White to advance to
the next level with the current level marked as complete with
an "S+" rank. Note: This can only be done in levels
that have not already been completed.
Press Black + White on controller two to advance
to the next level , without completing the current level. This
brings you to the standard level roundup screen, where Blinx will
get paid for the trash, etc. he has collected and keep his time
crystals as normal. This is also useful for getting an A+/S+ time
when all else fails.

Ultimate Sweeper:
Collect all 80 Cat Medals. You can now buy the Ultimate
Sweeper for 90,000 at the last shop before the final Boss. This
is a Level 3 Sweeper that can sweep any trash size and shoots
fire and ice.

Quick level completion:
As soon as the level starts, quickly do a low jump and
land back on the level start ring. The game is programmed to think
that this is the finish ring. Note: This is very difficult to
perform, but it is possible.

Hint: Easy money:
Fight the Boss of Hourglass Caves. He is easy, and can be defeated
in under a minute. Kill him, and get as close to the location
he was last at when he died. If you are in the correct location,
you will pick up all of the money he spits out.

Defeat a boss and collect all the gold coins. When you finish
collecting them, immediately use a Rewind. Most of the coins will
return, allowing you to get almost double the amount of gold.

On stage 1 round 2, there is a pig on a flying object. As soon
as he appears from his hole in the ground, use a pause and get
the gold. Then, finish the level. Repeat this as many times as
needed. This is helpful when you are trying to get a new Sweeper.

On stage 3 round 2, there is a pig on an airbike. Defeat him and
collect all the gold afterwards. After gettung all the gold in
the area, there is a "gambling game" nearby. Go up to
it, making sure you have things to shoot at it. Use a Slow. When
you hit the target at the correct time, lots of gold will appear.
Collect the gold, then continue. As you go, use a Fast Forward
to make things go faster. After awhile, the gambling game will
be spinning again. Repeat the process with the allotted time you
have remaining.
Marc Kerns.
To get lots of gold, repeat any level with gold and collect as
many of those "circle clock" things without losing them,
as at the end of a level they will give you gold.

Hint: Duplicating high yield items:
For example, in Stage 1 Level 2 you will encounter two time monsters
balancing on clock balls. Each of these balls are high yield items.
This means each ball if kept in your sweeper at the end of the
round will yield 100 gold. Note: Upon entering the level user
should have or obtain at least One Record power-up. After killing
off all necessary time monsters, make sure to collect and save
both time clock balls remaining behind after killing the time
monster atop them. Go somewhere in the level with a fair amount
of room and make sure both clock balls are ready to be expelled.
Use a Record power-up, and while recording, shoot out/expel both
clock balls and wait for Record power-up to run out. After the
Record power-up has run out, you are rewound and returned to the
state previous to expelling the clock balls. You will notice that
your recorded self expels/shoots out two balls. If you now look
at your sweeper bag you will see that the two original balls are
still there. You can now go and pick up the other two balls and
have four instead of two. Even better, if you have two Record
power-ups, after collecting the first set of extra balls you can
then record yourself expelling all four balls. Then, your recorded
self will expel four balls and now after collecting those four,
you will have eight balls. Note: This will work with any item.

Hint: Defeating the Cavern Boss:
Use Time Changers wisely. Use Pause when he is just normally attacking
you to get behind him easily, and when he does his two-charge
attack. When he starts to charge at you in the two-charge attack,
use Pause quickly and move out of the way (unless you can dodge
it). Another way to avoid his two-charge attack is to use Record.
When he starts charging you the first time, use Record and run
around. He cannot hurt you, and when you return to normal time,
he will follow the recorded version of Blinx instead of the real
version. An easy way to hit him without using time alterations
or waiting for his normal charge is to shoot any piece of junk
at him when you are relatively close. When he sucks it in, run
behind him and shoot him.

Hint: Defeating the Forgotten City Boss:
Use the water in the middle. The Boss for some reason cannot go
into the water. If you are in there, you can get to the correct
location and hit him from behind.
Brasslvlonkey.
Finish the stage before this with a Record Control. Fill up your
Sweeper (do not use any on him yet). Then, go outside the gates.
When he shows up, pick up what you need to get a Pause Control.
Make sure you are close to and in front of him, then use your
Record Control. Run past him and keep running. When the Record's
power up is done, the recording will play. While the boss is chasing
it, hit him from behind and repeat as he becomes normal. Next,
use Pause in front of him. Run behind and shoot him. This works
even better if you start off with multiple Pauses or Records.

Hint: Defeating the Momentopolis Boss:
When you first start the level, you will see a short intermission
sequence, then the Boss will form. After that, time will rewind
and you will face the fourth Boss, followed by the seventh Boss,
sixth Boss, and finally the eighth Boss. Buy at least one bomb
and fill up on retries. Once you get to the final area, the Boss
will take all of your time commands (provided you have any) and
the fight will start. To damage him, shoot him while he is spawning
bombs. During this time he will summon a few hundred crystals
and activate the power associated with it (yellow stars for Slow
or orange pyramids for Fast Forward). If he summons a Fast Forward,
run around and avoid him until the effect wears off. With a Slow,
you will get hit by lightning about 99% of the time. Once you
hit him three times, he copies himself (sort of Record). They
will both spawn bombs and even cause a shockwave. He will then
use Pause (blue moons). Once he gets all the crystals, time a
jump in mid-air and you will avoid all attacks. The bombs spawned
this time are both regular and encased in ice, which will cause
the floor to ice for a while. To damage him, you must fire one
bomb at either Boss, then fire at the second one quickly. Do this
three times and you will move on. This time, he will chase after
you and try to chop you. Keep running and jumping to avoid him.
To damage him, you must use one of each time command. He will
"absorb" it and start losing the outer shell. It is
recommended that you get them in your spare time within the first
two phases. After you use all five, the entire outer shell will
fall off. He will try to ram you. After he does this, he is temporarily
vulnerable. Quickly shoot him and he will be defeated.

Hint: Defeating the second Boss:
As soon as you enter the room, the frog will pop out. Start running
in the opposite direction. As you run, the frog will jump at you
once. Keep running until you get to the opposite side that you
got in at. There be a ledge. Jump up onto it. The frog cannot
shoot or jump up on the ledge. Wait until he turns his back, then
shoot Note: This will require a few shots.

Hint: Remove results screen:
Finish a stage and the results screen will appear. Press Back-Up
or A to remove it.
