Trippy Mode:
Some of you have asked about Trippy mode too -- don't want to give away ALL of
the secrets, but here's how to manage that one: all at once, press Up, Left,
Select, L1, R1, START, Triangle and Circle. That's the Vulcan Death Pinch.
You'll hear a horrible grinding noise, but that's to be desired! Once you tire
of the noise, let go. Now, you need to press all of these at once: Up, L2, R1,
Triangle and "X". This works from anywhere, so you can even see a melty
title-screen if you want (looks cool)! The trippy mode is way way way trippy, it
is impossible to see anything on the screen but y'know if you stick with it you
can actually get thru' by using the Force alone. I wanted to see what the bacon
layer bonus looked like so I played a fair few webs to do it. Looks good, but
the best bit is the sounds, they are either speeded up/slowed down, new phrases
added.

LEVEL SKIP:
In any game, press and hold the following buttons: L1, R1, Diagonal Up-Left on
the D-pad, Triangle, Circle, Start, and Select. If done correctly, you will
hear a loud grinding noise. Let go of the buttons and immediately press and hold the following
buttons: L2, R1, X, Triangle, and Down on the D-pad. You
should hear a word spoken if done correctly. Now, anytime you wish to advance a
level, simply press L1, L2, R1, and R2 at the same time. After pressing those 4
buttons, you will advance to the next level as soon as there are NO enemies on
the web. The easiest way to do this is at the very beginning of the level before an enemy appears on
the web, or press the top 4 buttons and then use a
Superzapper.

Bonus game options:
Earn a high score and enter "H_V_S" or "YIFF!" as initials, where "_" indicates a space. Then,
Tempest 2000 and Tempest Plus will be new options on the game selection menu.

Frequent power-ups:
Start a game in Temptest X3 mode and shoot the first target in the stage. Next, shoot the
supperzapper before the power-up reaches the top of the grid. Do not take this power-up. Then, you
will receive power-ups from most of the targets you shoot.

 Cheat mode:
At the "Select Game Type" menu, press R1 + L1 + Triangle + Circle + Up/Left + Select + Start. If you
entered the code correctly, you will hear a grinding noise. Then, enter one of the following
controller actions to activate the corresponding cheat function:

Hidden song:
At any screen, hold R1 + L2 + Triangle + X, then press Down. Now the starting screen will appear and
a hidden song will begin playing.

MOD song:
While playing a game, hold L2 + R1 + Triangle, + X, then press Right. Now the next stage will have
music played in .MOD format.

Remix song:
While playing a game, hold L2 + R1 + Triangle, + X, then press Left. Now the next stage will have
remixed music.

Level skip:
While playing a game and when the web contains no enemies, press R1 + L2 to skip to the next level.
The web will have no enemies at the beginning of the level, or after pressing L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and
using a Superzapper.

A.I. Droid
While playing a game, hold L2 + R1 + Triangle, + X, then press Down. If you entered the code
correctly, the A.I. Droid will say "Attack". Then, complete the current stage without losing a life.
Now the first power-up on the next stage will be the A.I. Droid.
