STAGE ANNIHILATIONS
-------------------
These can be performed by any character. On The Stoned Posiedon, Hell's
Kitchen, or Temple of the Vortek stages, simply perform an uppercut (hold
down and press Punch) during "Annihilation Time." You'll see your
opponent fall to his/her death! Some "uppercut-like moves" (you'll know
them because you'll hear a laugh or "Awesome!" from the Guardian) may
also do the trick.
+---------------------+
| Section 3: SECRETS |
+---------------------+
1. Hidden backgrounds in two-player mode: On the background select
screen, do not press the A, B, or C buttons. Instead, press the * button
for Subway Passage, or press the # button for Hidden Palace.
2. The hidden character Carbon: On the Hard or Killer difficulty level of a
one-player game, in the Earthquake Zone stage, win with a double perfect
and perform an Annihilation on the left side of the board, near the section
that reads "No fighting--this area only." You will fight Carbon on the
Subway Passage stage. Carbon looks like a shiny black version of Grok.
Along with Grok's arsenal of moves, he can also throw diamond-shaped
projectiles.
3. Speed selector option: At the title screen, press the 1, 5, and 9 keys
simultaneously to enable a speed selector option. You can select "normal"
or the faster "turbo" speed.
4. Voice modem code: At the title screen, type the sequence 9, 1, 1 on
the keypad. (Dial 911, get it? :) ) Of course, this isn't very useful
without the voice modem, which is unreleased as of this writing.

Thanks for all the codes. We have been playing Ultra Vortek almost every
night for weeks, with no sign of tiring of it. We had figured out all the
moves but only a few annihilations.
Whenever someone plays Dreadloc against Volcana, we always refer to them
as OJ versus Nicole. Gruesome, yes, but he's innocent!

in in the air, not jump forward, hold down, punch+kick. unless hes got 3
annihalators
Karl J. von Laudermann
The only things wrong with his description are that Punch is
unnecessary, and you don't have to hold down, you can just tap it. The
move is jump forward, down, kick. How can you get directly above your
opponent by jumping straight up?

when you're directly above the opponent push up, down, then kick.
Sorry if you misunderstood it.
Karl J. von Laudermann
Oh. In that case, the up is unnecessary. It's just down, kick when
above your opponent. Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh.

: The squashing bouldermorph is up, down, kick while directly ABOVE, as
: annihalators
Actually, the jump forward is so Grok will be above the opponent. When
you're above the opponent, hold down, kick. You don't have to push up when
you're already above the opponent.
