Planet X level translation:
0:SCIFI1 is Clothesline
1:SCIFI2 is The Web
2:SCIFI3 is Free Fall
3:SCIFI4 is Bombs Away
4:BONUS7 is Saucer Section
5:MAINMAPS (SCIFI) is the Planet X world screen. Press X to return.
6:SL67 is Newton's 4th Law
7:SL68 is The Project
8:SL69 is Head To Head
9:SL71 is the secret Planet X Boss level.
The Planet X Boss level was never intended to be in the game. One of the
programmers was done early and decided to add an extra feature. The Planet X
Boss level was the result, but was unfinished and left out of the game. The
premise behind this scenario is that the Boss, a robot, tries to shoot Gex with
a shrink ray. After a while, a green orb will fall from the ceiling. Gex will
grow larger each time he eats the orb. If Gex can eat the orb three times
without being shrunk, he will be large enough to defeat the robot. After the
Boss is defeated, and the game is allowed to continue without pressing the
D-pad, Gex will eat various objects that will appear on the screen.

Bonus Games
On the very first level of Graveyard there is is a secret area that can
lead you to all of the bonus games.

>From the Extra Life jump up to the left and hold Up on the dir pad.
There is a hidden warp above the visible screen. Gex should enter it about as
soon as he disappears off the screen.
Secret Level
To get to Planet X you must get perfects on each of the bonus games
[i.e. the Skull/Frankie game in Graveyard] When you get a perfect a small
portion of a remote control will flicker on the screen. You don't have to
complete the level -- you can get the portion of the remote and just die. The
portions will not save, however, you must get perfects in all the games to get
the whole remote in one sitting. Once you get the whole remote and use it at
the world select map it will save.
Saving
The game DOES NOT save after completing a boss character! You can,
however, go through a completed level with a VCR under it and save
there. A good strategy would be to go through a VCR level (Like the
third level in Graveyard) before you are done for the night.
