Strike the Targets!

To be an agent of the DCP, you need to always make sure your skills are up to standard. That’s why this minigame will test both your agility and your aim! Take a look!


You’ll have to destroy every target before the timer runs out. Successfully doing so will grant you extra lives that you can take with you throughout your Prison City infiltration!


But fail and the only thing you’ll get is the stinging feeling of SHAME!

Just kidding, well, maybe the Chief isn’t.

Now, to complete this minigame, you’ll have to apply all the running, jumping, and sliding skills you’ve (hopefully) learned in your training and improved on during your previous missions. For instance, you’ll have to throw and rotate the chakram to successfully hit a target placed below a platform for the last leg of the minigame!


Just as your training was meant to help you learn the basics of chakram-throwing, you’ll be able to show them off in this minigame. And you’ll be well rewarded if your skills exceed expectations!

That’s all with this update!

Cut the Wires! No, the Other Wires!

You can take a break from all that infiltrating with the Defuse the Bomb Minigame!

When Hal isn’t busy taking down Techno-Terrorists, he’s more than likely juggling sports balls in the Stadium…or trying to stop a bunch of detonators from going off!



In this minigame, you’ll have to swim through several rooms to defuse the bombs set up by the Techno-Terrorists.



Use your maneuvering skills to jump, dash, and swim to stop each detonator before time runs out! Unless, of course, you WANT the time to run out! In addition, you'll want to be mindful of the electrically charged kelp! Touching these purple plants will damage Hal, which will inevitably slow him down!



So, when you're not busy infiltrating Prison City, take a break and try your hand at disarming all the bombs!

Jugglin’ Sportballs!

Taking on the Jumbotron was one thing, but Hal’s work in the Stadium won’t be over just yet! He’ll be faced with an extra challenge in balancing multiple kinds of sports balls–all for the reward of gaining more rests (lives)!


As each ball is launched into the air, you’ll have to attack them as they fall! Doing so will cause any of the balls to shoot back up before again arcing downward. The point is to get each ball to cross the black and white goal lines to the left and right of the screen.


Now, none of the balls have to be SEEN to know they’ve crossed the goal lines–you’ll actually hear an audio cue that’ll play, regardless of whether a sports ball is visible or offscreen.

Successfully preventing any ball from touching the ground will reward Hal with a fresh batch of lives! Be sure to save them for later, more challenging security zones!

Destroying the Car!

As a fitting homage to a certain series of arcade games, this minigame is perfect for those who have experience with those titles--or those who just wanna relieve some stress during their Prison City infiltration mission!


Though note, however, that the "higher" the difficulty (as in, if you play on Classic or Modern), the less damage you'll be dealing overall, so be sure to make every chakram throw count!


Successfully destroying the car within the allotted time will reward you with a fresh batch of lives to add to your (hopefully) well-stocked count!


Stay tuned for even more updates!
