A: Spider-Man can climb most walls when the player jumps on them. Hold down the A Button and use the Thumbstick to move Spider-Man onto the wall while in mid-air. Then press Up or Down on the Thumbstick to make him climb up or down. Please note that not all walls are 'sticky' and some cannot be climbed.

Q: Why is Spider-Man punching and kicking in this game?
A: Spider-Man's webs can only restrain his adversaries. He must use his combat abilities to defeat them.
Spider-Man destroys Octobots (robots) and defeats Spider-Soldiers (non-human, liquid-based foes that are formed from Venom's black ooze).
Spider-Man also brings Super Villains from the Sinister 6 to justice in Boss Battles at the end of each Episode using his combat abilities. At the end of each Boss Battle, the Boss is tied up in Spider-Man's webbing and is put into jail aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Q: How do I defeat the bosses?
A: There are 6 bosses in this game: Rhino, Beetle, Electro, The Lizard, Kraven and Dr. Octopus. Every boss has an attack phase and a vulnerable phase. Spider-Man cannot damage the bosses with webs, punches or Ultimate Moves while they are in their attack phase, so the player must avoid making contact with the bosses to avoid taking damage.
After successfully avoiding the boss during their attack phase, the bosses will become dizzy and will enter their vulnerable phase. The player can then shake the controller to perform an Ultimate Move or move in close for a Spider Strike Combo (B Button) to damage the bosses. After 3 vulnerable phases, the boss will be defeated.
Q: How do I defeat Rhino?
A: Rhino will charge at Spider-Man during his 1st attack phase. Use a high jump or stick to the walls/ceiling to avoid taking damage. Rhino will try to knock barrels down onto Spider-Man during his 2nd attack phase. Use the Thumbstick to move Spider-Man left and right to avoid the falling barrels. Rhino's final attack will cause debris to rise from the floor, so keep a safe distance away from Rhino by sticking to the walls or ceiling.
Q: How do I use Spider Speed Mode in Levels 2, 4, and 6?
A: In Episode 1 Level 2, the player learns how to activate Spider Speed Mode. This is a powerful ability that can be used to freeze time and allows the player to web multiple flying Octobots at once! To activate Spider Speed Mode, make sure the yellow bar in the top left corner of the screen is full. Once it's full, press the B Button to activate Spider Speed Mode and freeze time. You will need to act quick though, as time is only frozen for 4 seconds! Press the A Button rapidly during Spider Speed Mode to auto-target multiple Octobots at once.
Q: How do I defeat Octobots in Levels 2, 4, and 6?
A: In Web Swing Mode, the player is asked to transform their controller to web Octobots. Make sure that your camera is angled properly at your child and that it's aimed towards your child's chest. The optimal distance to stand in is 3-6 feet away from the camera. Point your light directly at the camera and move the controller around to aim. Press the A Button to fire webs at Octobots and press the B Button to activate Spider Speed Mode. Try to web the Octobots quickly before they fire at Spider-Man!
Note: If your child is struggling with the light controls in this game, you can transform back to Classic Controller mode and use the Thumbstick to aim. To use the Thumbstick, transform the controller from Pointer Mode to Classic Controller Mode during the Web Swing game.

When your web hits them, they will be disabled and cannot harm the player for a few seconds. Move in close and press the B Button to take them down with a Spider Strike Combo, or simply run past them. After a few seconds have passed, the Spider Soldiers will break free from your web and will become dangerous again.
