X-Men Cheats
for Genesis

Avoid Sabertooth and Juggernaut

In the third level (Excalibur's Lighthouse) there are two rocks one on each side of the screen when you fight Sabretooth. To avoid Sabretooth, stand on top of the first rock and use Iceman to create an ice sled to the other rock. If you walk across the bridge, Sabretooth won't appear.

This trick can also be used on the first level to avoid Juggernaut.

Extra Time

In the upper right-hand corner of the Danger Room there is a box with wires on it. Smash the box and your time limit in the Danger Room will increase from 30 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Gambit Level Skip

Using Gambit, you can bypass the first three levels. When inside the danger room, go to the control room (upper left-hand corner). As you begin to disappear, hold A; the level will start, but you will immediately return to the danger room. After the first level, you will start in Zaladane's Fortress, but you can repeat the trick and skip to the Shiar world and skip again to Excalibur's Lighthouse.
