[. . . ] Once the enemy is locked, Astro will automatically face the target enemy and remains this way until you press Q button again to release the lock. Check the status of the Lock-On Cursor based on the below chart. ASTRO'S ABILITIES Astro possesses seven amazing abilities that no other robot has. But these abilities cannot be used until Astro learns about them and their use throughout the game. The abilities you can control are flying and three Force abilities below (see P for all of Astro's abilities). . 5 LOCK-ON CURSOR DIGIBEAM* X-RAY VISION ARM CANNON* A button button button E D SIZE & COLOR OF LOCK-ON CURSOR SIZE COLOR LOCKED Smaller Green /Yellow* UNLOCKED Wider Blue *Digibeam or Arm Cannon cannot be used when the Sub Action (P . 11) is assigned to that button. DIGIBEAM Press A button to fire a laser beam from Astro's fingertips to attack enemies or melt down (burn down) solid objects. Hold down A button to project the laser as long as Astro has power left in the Force Gauge (P . 15). *The cursor turns yellow to indicate your target enemy is locked on from a distance above ground. In most cases, F button will allow you to perform whatever the Action Icon represents. But when an enemy is locked, Astro will most likely Punch the enemy when locked to a green cursor, and Spin Attack when locked to a yellow cursor. When an enemy is unlocked (blue cursor), Astro will either Punch or Spin Attack based on the distance from the enemy. X-RAY VISION Press E button to see through objects with Astro's X-Ray Vision. Using X-Ray Vision requires power on the Force Gauge. Press E button again to return to normal vision. The X-Ray Vision will also display names of surrounding buildings while flying through Metro City. ARM CANNON Hold down D button to charge the cannon, and release to fire.
