Boss list - The following is a list all Bosses for each episode and their techniques:
Bus jump - In the Episode 2, you will have to jump on a speeding bus then jump on a ramp and over a big gap. Before you go off the ramp, hold down L for slow motion. The bus will gain more speed and will get over the gap.
Cause more damage - When you are fighting normal enemies, use your slow motion power and zoom in power at the same time. This will make your punches and kicks more powerful.
Comments - When you die, you will hear a voice that says "Cut! Cut! Cut!". Also when you pause the game during any episode, someone will say something.
Completion bonus - Successfully complete the game, then play it again in the same mode. You will start with all of Joe's powers (Slow Motion, Mach Speed, and Zoom In).
Defeating Gran Bruce - When you first face Gran Bruce, quickly use Mach Speed and go all the way down where Bruce recovers well first. He will try, and you need to use your Mach Speed and run up and down around that area. He will then get tired. Start kicking and punching him in Slow Motion or Mach Speed. He will then spit bombs out at you. Run around again. He will then accidentally eat one. Hit him, and it will take a lot of health from him. Keep doing this until you defeat him.
Defeating King Charles the 3rd - After you land an attack on him, he will turn into many bats. Jump up and hit as many of the bats as you can. Each bat you hit will take some of his life away.
Defeating Rhino Davidson - Start by Mach Speeding him and he will defend with his axe. Two things may happen. He will either attack you or the axe will slip out of his hands, leaving him open for attack. If he charges at you, jump out of the way and run into the fire he left by for extra fire damage when you punch him. He should be dizzy from smacking his head on the wall, so you can attack him. Repeat those steps to defeat him.
Defeating the Boss with guns - When you smash all of the axes, you will enter a door. Go through it and you will battle a Boss with guns. When he fires a shot, switch to slow motion and punch his bullets. Then, slow motion again and keep punching him.
Defeating the Boss with the ship steering wheel - You will fact this opponent in Episode 4. You directly up to him. When he raises his arms and jumps, use your Mach Speed. You will face the steering wheel. Quickly use Slow Motion or Mach Speed to hurt him.
Destroy the tank in Episode 5 - When you encounter the tank at the start of the episode, your punches and kicks will not do much damage (not even in Slow Motion or Mach Speed). When it fires a large bullet at you, go into Slow Motion and punch the bullet back at the tank. It will not destroy it, but it will do damage to it.
Episode 2 - When you first start the episode, go in slow motion and the water will get big. It will then fall on the switch. Then, run to get to the door.
Episode 4 - When in part two of Episode 4 (The Viewtiful Escape), you will have to slow down time and hit some gears to stop them from moving. After that, there will be a straight away and enemies will pop up. One will contain a pink juice (infinite VFX power for a period of time). Some enemies will pop out. Start attacking them in slow motion. When a target comes on them, kick them. All the other enemies will get targets on them. Every time you hit one of them, you will get an extra 100 Viewtiful points.
