Advent Rising

This secret is located in Chapter 4 - The Awakening - Part E. Through this level there is a series of three buttons which much be activated in this order...

Button 1 - In the room with the three shock troopers the first button, as you enter the room, is on the back of the right top portion of the area that holds rocket launchers in about the middle. You may have to tilt the camera upward to see this area. Destroy the black object to reveal the first button.

Button 2 - In the room after you fight the two Seeker Elites, go to the locked door and do a charge jump to the area above the door. There is a button on the ground all the way at the end of this area. Destroy the black object first.

Button 3 - Right before you meet up with Enorym in the room with the dead Aurelian. Jump to the bottom, below the platform, and go to the furthest column in the back to find a button behind it.

Backtrack to the previous room, and a new door is unlocked. Go inside to find the Advent Rising staff room complete with pictures of the AR staff by each console. Activate the consoles inside the room in this order to get an image of a ninja wailing on a guitar in the middle of the room...

Console 1 - guy with the white guitar

Console 2 - guy with the black-rimmed glasses

Console 3 - guy with the wooded background

Console 4 - person with the long black hair

Console 5 - guy with mustache and beard

Console 6 - guy holding up the "Utah County Sheriff" sign

Console 7 - guy with spiky hair and glasses (Donald Mustard)

At the main menu, choose the "Play Game" selection. Choose the slot you wish to play, then press Black, White, Black, White, X on the next screen to unlock all levels and FMV sequences.

Wait until the credits end to face another Boss in a bonus battle.

A Mario tube has been place in Chapter 1 sec. B. You will have to play through to the area where you are standing on a balcony overlooking a courtyard. If you jump down your game is restarted from the last checkpoint. Acouple of thing must be done first.
One, go to the cheat menu and click on Blizzow. This will give you all powers. Two, go out onto the balcony and get up on the edge. This is done by walking out the door and going forward until you climb up onto the ledge. Third, pick the Timeshift ability from your powers menu on the D-pad. Fourth, face towards the ramp on the upper platform. Fifth, move forward, jump and press the Timeshift ability twice. You can press it three times and you will be further onto the platform. Also it helps to look up slightly. This will keep you level. You then want to move to the back and there you will find a ramp leading down to a Mario Tube. Enter this and traverse the moving paltform(easy) and at the end you have three tubes to choose from.
The three tubes from left to right. The fisrt one takes you to the hanger where you get the ship to leave the Earth.
The first one goes to Extinction Agenda chapter 3 part F .
The second tube goes to Extinction Agenda chapter 3 part A.
The third tube takes you to Surface Tension chapter 2 part A.

Pause the game, then use the D-pad to enter Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, White, Black, X. This must be done again to enable multiple cheats at once.

When facing Ethan in the bonus battle (if you took Oliva), he will start charging the black ball above his head. Equip the Surge power. When he tosses it, you can knock it back. He will catch it and throw it back three more times. After the third time, it will hit him. He will then fall to the ground and three gold colored rocks will fall from the ceiling. Use Lift to pick them up and throw them. Repeat this about four or five times to kill him. You and Ethan will then get sucked into a warp hole and get dumped in a snowstorm. Your health will drop very quickly. Walk to the top left and a strange figure will find you.

To get easy kills, max out your Aeon Pulse to level 5. After doing so, switch your Aeon Pulse so that you will be able to do radial flare. Because your pulse is maxed out, it usually kills in one hit. It will also kill most everyone that is in the room you are in.

After you return to the escape pod bay with Olivia, Ethan tells you to take Olivia and run to the escape pod while Olivia tells you to take Ethan. At this point, you may choose either one depending on who you walk towards. If you walk towards Ethan, you take him to the pod and see Olivia get scanned. If you walk towards Olivia, you take her to the pod and see Ethan get scanned. Additionally, at the end of the first chapter, you will choose who gets to come with you on the escape pod. This choice only affects the banter between your character and the one you save. After the credits end, you will play the epilogue, and the person you left behind in the first chapter is who becomes the final Boss in the game.

After acquiring the Charge Jump ability, you can do an inifinite jump. It really isn't very useful, but you can reach som insane heights. To do this, target an enemy and charge the jump (hold X+A) until it is fully charged, then release and instantly begin tapping B repeatedly. Normally tapping B once would cause you to do a powerful melee attack downward that sends out a shockwave when you land, but instead you'll keep going up until you stop tapping B. Also, this doesn't seem to work unless you fully charge the jump.

After Ethan and Gideon are at the escape pods, Ethan will instruct you to find Olivia. You will eventually reach a large room where you can see ships flying in space when you look up, and people running below. Normally, you would go to the right and follow the balcony to get through this area. Instead, go left, and look at the slanted wall behind you. Jump over it. Behind it is a walkway. Walk to the end of the walkway, then look towards the ledge that looks like it can support you that is in front of you. Jump out towards it, then use Time Shift in mid-air. You should fly and either grab the ledge or land on it. Note: You must enable the "Cheat mode" code to get Time Shift in this part of the game. Once on the other side you can find a pipe that resembles those from Super Mario Bros. Climb into it to warp to a Mario-style cave, where the music also changes to match that of a classic game. Jump across the platforms and reach the end of the cave. Once there you will find three more pipes. Each one of them will warp you ahead to a farther point in the game. The pipe on the left advances to the intermission sequence showing Marin, Giddeon, and Olivia taking off from the planet in Chapter 4. The middle pipe warps you to the top of a building in New Bahn. The pipe on the right warps you to the escape pod intermission sequence. Note: To reach the secret Super Mario Bros. pipe without cheating, you must first find and use six hidden buttons in this level. To find the first button, repeatedly hit the locker in the first room until it disappears. To find the second button, look behind the pillars to the left of where you start in the first room. To find the third button, exit the first room in the direction you entered this level. The button is located near the door with the fire in front of it. To find the fourth button, look behind the left locker in the second escape pod room. The fifth button is found behind the pillars in the second escape pod. The final button is located on a door on the first section of walkway overlooking the large room with people running below and ships flying in space above, as described above. Once the final button is pushed, simply turn around and follow the now open path to the secret pipe.
