Challenge 1: Finish Line
To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.
When the level starts, defeat the nearby enemies and search the area for studs and breakable objects. When you’re ready to continue, smash the brown crates along the back wall to reveal a hidden vent.
Approach the exposed vent and use the action button to have Mister Fantastic slip through the vent and emerge on the nearby rooftop.
Defeat the waiting large octobot and search the surrounding area for studs and breakable objects. When you’re ready, move to the back wall and follow the path to the right. Clear out the incoming enemies, then destroy the blue antenna. Assemble the resulting Build-it to create a slingshot, then use the slingshot to launch yourself to the next rooftop.
When you land, search the area for studs and breakable objects. When you’re ready, follow the path down along the lower rooftops and clear out the enemies you encounter along the way.
When you reach Doctor Octopus just in time to see him knock over a large antenna and flee to the next rooftop. As you search the surrounding area for studs and breakable objects, take care to defend yourself from the enemies that appear in the area. When you’re ready, stand near the fallen antenna and wait for a surge of electricity to approach. When it’s safe again, race across the antenna to reach the next rooftop before the next surge passes through the makeshift bridge.
When you reach the next rooftop, jump down from the antenna, deal with any approaching enemies, and assemble the nearby Build-it. This creates a ramp that you can use to climb back onto the antenna—if you want to head back for more exploration before you move deeper into the level.
Search the rooftop for enemies, studs, and breakable objects. When you’re ready, move past the climbing wall and assemble the Build-it near the building’s damaged ledge to create a large fan.
Move onto the fan to float into the air, then activate Mister Fantastic’s flight mode (glide) to ride the current across the next gap.
After you land, ignore the next climbing wall and follow the ledge around the corner of the building. As you do, clear out the enemies and breakable objects that appear in your path.
When you’re ready, approach the hole in the large window to finish the level.
Challenge 2: Stud Collector
To complete this challenge, you must collect over 50,000 studs before the level ends.
As usual, it’s important to destroy all the available enemies and objects scattered throughout the level, but this map also contains several hidden studs—many of which can be accessed only by using the climbing walls. After you unlock Free Play for this level, use Spider-Man to ensure that you collect all the available studs. Before you leave the first rooftop, move toward the bottom of the screen, then follow the ledge to the left to find the first stash of hidden studs.
Make a full sweep of each rooftop until you reach the first climbing wall. Use Spider Man to climb up to the next cluster of hidden studs. When you’re ready, switch to Mister Fantastic and slip through the nearby vent.
When you emerge from the passage, follow the path down through the building’s interior and drop through the broken window to find another hidden area filled with enemies, breakable objects, and loose studs. After you clear the ledge, use the nearby vent to return to the top of the climbing wall.
Drop down from the first climbing wall, then continue across the next gap. Use Spider-Man to head up the second climbing wall and sweep the top of the building for enemies, destructible objects, and more loose studs.
If you’ve been thorough, you should have more than enough studs by the time you reach the broken window at the end of the map. However, avoid approaching the window until you go down the steps to the right—you’ll find a selection of valuable studs hidden around the corner.
Challenge 3: Minikit
To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.
After you unlock Free Play for this level, use Spider-Man to take advantage of the map’s first climbing wall. When you reach the top of the building, switch to Mister Fantastic and slip through the nearby vent.
After you emerge from the passage, collect the minikit from the alcove to the right.
Challenge 4: Doctor Is Out
To complete this challenge, you must finish the level within the 100-second time limit.
When you attempt this challenge, save valuable time by ignoring the bulk of the map’s enemies, studs, and destructible objects. Only engage the enemies that pose a direct threat, and don’t bother smashing any objects that aren’t required to progress through the level.
Stay alert when you reach the fallen antenna. As soon as the first surge of electricity fades, move across the gap to avoid waiting for another opportunity. As long as you stick to the main path, you shouldn’t have much trouble reaching the end of the level within the allotted time.
Challenge 5: Excelsior!
To complete this level, you must find and rescue Stan Lee.
After you use the slingshot to launch yourself to the second cluster of rooftops, follow the upper path to the right to find Stan Lee dangling from a helicopter. To rescue him, use a ranged attack to knock the large octobot off the nose of the helicopter.
Challenge 6: Clean Sweep
To complete this challenge, you must defeat 38 robotic enemies before you finish the level.
After you unlock Free Play for this level, use Spider-Man to ensure you locate all of the map’s enemies. After you defeat the first two octobots, move along the building’s ledge to find the hidden studs to the left. Follow the studs until two small octobots drop down from above. As you return to the main path, two more enemies climb up to the ledge—make sure you deal with them before you leave the area.
As you progress through the level, be diligent and defeat all of the enemies that appear along the main path. After you clear out the enemies near the fallen antenna, use the stairs to the left to find more enemies on the rooftop below you.
When you reach the first climbing wall, use Spider-Man to climb to the top of the building, then switch to Mister Fantastic and enter the vent. Drop down through the building’s interior, then slip through the broken window and clear out all the enemies lurking near this hidden area.
When you arrive at the second climbing wall, use Spider-Man to reach the top of the last building. Move to the studs at the center of the rooftop to reveal two more large octobots. After you clear the area, head back down the climbing wall and follow the main path to find the remaining enemies.
Challenge 7: Combo Master
To complete this challenge, you must perform a × 10 combo.
The best place to complete this challenge is near the fallen antenna. Before you cross the gap, move toward the bottom of the screen until two large octobots leap onto the rooftop. These enemies land very close to each other—use a flurry of melee strikes to defeat both enemies without breaking your combo.
Challenge 8: Going Pro
To complete this challenge, you must finish the level without using a Super Move.
Most of the level’s enemies attack in small groups. Simply resist the urge to use Super Moves as you clear a path through the level.
Challenge 9: Tag Me In
To complete this challenge, you must use one or more Tag Moves to defeat at least three enemies.
Large octobots are durable enough to survive most Tag Moves. Use one Tag Move to clear out the two small octobots on the first rooftop, then continue through the level. When your Tag Move is finished recharging, use it to defeat the next small octobot you encounter.
Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge
To complete this challenge, you must avoid taking damage or calling on your Tag partner while finishing the level within the 120-second time limit.
If you avoid unnecessary exploration and combat, you shouldn’t have any trouble finishing the level within the time limit. Each time you reach a key Build-it, however, it’s very important to clear out nearby enemies before you begin assembling it. Once again, it’s best to ignore any destructible objects that aren’t needed to progress through the level.
To traverse the level without taking any damage, it’s particularly important to pay attention when you reach the fallen antenna. A single surge of electricity can cause you to fail the challenge, so time your approach carefully. As long as you move quickly, stay alert and avoid calling on your Tag partner, you shouldn’t have any trouble completing this challenge.
