Flora
The first planet. Things are beautiful here and the enemies are not that tough.

Freon
This icy planet is the fifth.

Grab
Use grab to hold onto anything. Pressing the grab button again or letting go of it (depending on the situation) will make Ristar lose his grip. When Ristar grabs an enemy, he will pull himself at it as an attack.

Greedy

Greedy's Space City
Ristar's final planet to conquer is Greedy's own palace in the sky.

Hang
Ristar can grab on a flying object to get towed somewhere. Remember, though, that enemies will get hit by Ristar when you let go of the grab button.

The points you receive for clearing a planet.

Scorch
The third planet. Things start getting hard in this fiery setting.

Secret Bonus
Points for discovering treasures in Bonus Stages.

Sonata
The fourth planet. This one's theme is music.

Star Handle
Make Ristar grab on to one and don't let go of the grab button. Next, press the direction Ristar is facing to speed up. If you go fast enough, you will have a Meteor Strike. When you let go of the grab button, Ristar will hop off, his speed depending on how long you held the D-pad direction. Try to aim his movement for best results. Certain hidden Star Handles will send Ristar into a Bonus Stage.

Technical Bonus
If you keep Ristar safe, the points will rack up. The more Ristar gets hit, the more points deducted from your Technical Bonus.

Throw
When Ristar grabs something that he can throw, he'll hold it above his head. If you press the grab button again, he'll throw it.

Treasure Bonus
For every treasure chest Ristar loots, you get more points.

Undertow
The second planet. Your stages here are set in sunken(?) palaces.

Up or Down Ladder
When Ristar grabs a ladder, use the D pad to move him the way you want. There are vertical and horizontal ladders.

Wall Climb
When Ristar grabs a wall, he'll hurl himself against it. Use the recoil time to grab on again. If you aim the grab straight, he'll go up slowly, but if you aim it diagonally up, Ristar will take huge leaps up. Try this move on ceilings or the odd wall and see if anything happens.

Yellow Jewel
Grab one of these to get as low as 100 points or as high as 1600 points.
