Get Friend Vouchers Quickly
You can get a friend voucher for performing certain tasks that you can trade with other players who have the game.
Once traded, these can be used for buying special extras.
Among other things, you get a voucher for every 100 kills (up to 1,000).
An easy way to rake in 10 vouchers is to look for swarms of small, explosive bugs that crawl around the levels
after the Space Pirates attack. Just sit there and zap \'em and you can get to 1,000 kills fairly quickly.
Friend Credit Tips
Bowling for Bots: In Skytown, if you use Morph Ball to run over the Tinbots, you\'ll gain this bonus.
Easiest place to do this is in the doughnut-shaped room.
Stylish Kill: In Skytown, there\'s a Bridge area that collapses when you cross it.
Before it falls, there\'s a fight with Tinbots and the Master Bot. Ignore them and finish crossing the bridge.
A cutscene with go off and show the bot fall to their doom.

To kill Helios easily, fire at the open spots on his body until he reveals his Phazon center.
When he does this, quickly go into Hyper Mode, and then into Morph Ball mode, and attack him quickly for an easy kill.
Stop The Boss
When Aurora Unit 313 is on the ground and spinning around, you can use the Screw Attack to stun it.
