Challenge 1: Finish Line

To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.

When the level starts, Galactus comes crashing through one of the helicarrier’s rotors. Dash away from Galactus and try to avoid his first attack.

Galactus has four basic attacks that he uses throughout the battle. When you’re near the edge of the area, expect Galactus to launch energy beams from one of his hands, or to blast duel energy beams from his eyes. If you notice a blue glow around Galactus’s eyes or one of his hands, dash away from the impending attack.

When you’re near Galactus, he usually detonates an energy sphere or swipes one of his arms at you. These short-range attacks are much easier to avoid. When you see Galactus create an energy sphere or cock back his arm, dash to the edge of the area.

Galactus tracks your position as you move around the area, but he turns fairly slowly. Use this to your advantage! Run to one side of the rotor, then use Green Goblin’s ranged attack to hit Galactus with a series of pumpkin bombs. You can usually get several hits in while Galactus rotates to face you. Keep it up until Galactus begins his next attack, then dash to safety, run to the other side of the rotor, and resume your attacks as Galactus slowly turns to face you.

Use the missiles racks on either side of the area to deal heavy damage to Galactus. Attack the nearest rack until it launches all four of its missiles, then run across the map and repeat the process on the remaining rack.

Galactus is very durable, so just keep chipping away at him until his health is depleted and he shields himself with a protective barrier. When this happens, lightning strikes a small generator to the right.

Run over and reassemble the generator to activate the rotor.

As Galactus struggles against the rotor’s blades, his barrier vanishes. Run in and attack him while he’s vulnerable.

After a few seconds, Galactus smashes the rotor and reactivates his protective barrier. Evade his attacks until a bolt of lightning reveals the generator on the other side of the area. Dash over and assemble the generator to restart the rotor.

Once again, Galactus’s barrier vanishes as he struggles against the rotor’s blades. Attack Galactus until you finish the level.

Challenge 2: Stud Collector

To complete this challenge, you must collect over 9,000 studs before the level ends.

The map is very small, and it doesn’t contain any secret areas or hidden enemies. To complete this challenge, simply evade Galactus’s attacks as you collect loose studs and smash the objects scattered around the area. Make sure you smash the drums near the second generator to find the purple stud stashed beneath them.

Challenge 3: Minikit

To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as the Human Torch. When the level starts, follow the path as it curves toward the top of the screen to find a chunk of ice. Use the Human Torch to melt the ice and reveal the minikit.

Challenge 4: Final Fight

To complete this challenge, you must defeat Galactus within the 120-second time limit.

The only way to save time is to attack Galactus at every opportunity. Don’t waste time trying to flank him—just run in and start tossing pumpkin bombs. Watch him closely to anticipate his attacks. Avoid dodging until it’s absolutely necessary, then resume your attacks as quickly as possible. Assemble the generators as they become available and defeat Galactus within the allotted time.

Challenge 5: Civilian Peril

To complete this challenge, you must rescue the three civilians located across the map.

All three of the civilians are trapped behind the debris at the edge of the map. Smash the containers near your starting location to rescue the first civilian.

Follow the path as it curves toward the top of the screen until you reach the missile rack, then smash the nearby containers to rescue the second civilian.

Follow the path as it curves toward the bottom of the screen to find a crashed helicopter near the other missile rack. Destroy both halves of the helicopter to rescue the last civilian.

Challenge 6: Going Pro

To complete this challenge, you must finish the level without using any Super Moves.

Green Goblin’s pumpkin bombs are very effective, and the available missile racks can deal heavy damage. Simply refrain from using any Super Moves as you chip away at Galactus’s health.

Challenge 7: Combo Master

To complete this challenge, you must perform a × 10 combo.

Simply flank Galactus and throw 10 pumpkin bombs as he turns to face you. If you move quickly, you should be able to complete your combo and dash away before he attacks.

Challenge 8: Bombs Away

To complete this challenge, you must destroy the eight bombs scattered across the map.

When the level starts, move toward the bottom of the screen to find two bombs on a forklift. The next three bombs are clustered just to the right.

Follow the path as it curves toward the top of the screen to find the remaining bombs clustered near one of the missile racks. Destroy all of the bombs before you finish the level.

Challenge 9: Super Victory

To complete this challenge, you must use a Super Move to defeat Galactus.

As you battle Galactus, make sure that you collect enough studs to charge a Super Move. Progress through the battle until you assemble the second generator. While Galactus struggles against the rotor, run in and hit him with four ranged attacks to weaken him, then activate Green Goblin’s Super Move to finish the battle.

Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge

To complete this challenge, you must avoid taking any damage and finish the level as a civilian within the 100-second time limit.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as any civilian character. When the level starts, dash to the nearest missile rack and launch all four missiles. Evade Galactus’s attacks as you run to the missile rack at the opposite side of the map.

Launch the remaining missiles, then switch to Green Goblin and use ranged attacks to chip away at Galactus’s health. You must avoid taking any damage for the duration of the battle, so watch him closely and try to anticipate his attacks. You need to beat him fairly quickly, so dodge only when it’s necessary. Otherwise, just keep attacking.

Progress through the battle until you assemble the second generator, then switch back to your civilian character. Run in and attack Galactus to finish the level within the time limit.
