29. CITY CHALLENGE MISSIONS
======================================================================
This section lists the various Challenge Missions you can find in the
city. To be honest, I'm totally uninterested in doing side missions in 
a game like this, since they don't exactly provide anything important 
to accelerate the story mode. However, I do agree that having them 
around does raises the bar of the game a little by offering replay
value. Doing them also allows you to earn smash points, which is 
useful when you're needing just that elusive 50,000 points to buy a 
critical move.

I've personally not completed all the missions. For those that I 
actually played, I'll list down some pointers. The rest, I'll just 
provide a general description. If I missed any, please let me know 
about it and I'll include it.

NOTE: Challenge missions are represented by a yellow star in-game, 
and as an exclaimation mark on your maps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Fast Move
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There're six of these checkpoint racing missions. I believe I 
explained about Fast Move 6 during the Lightning Strike mission. 
Basically, this requires you to move from point to point to collect 
object markers in a given time limit. Each Fast Move missions have 
different requirements on the amount of markers to collect.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
b. Batter Up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Play some air hockey by batting soldiers as far as you can, within a
certain time limit. A helicopter will feed you with your victims. A 
club is your weapon. Carry on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c. S.W.A.T.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is another soldiers-hitting side mission, but this time you're 
going for numbers, not distance. I find this the easier of the two,
although I'm not exactly good at both of them. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
d. Urban Golf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is quite an interesting mission, not only because it's fun, but 
because you'll be dressed in Joe Fixit! A nice touch from the game's
developers. In this mission, you'll need to swing a golf ball (albeit 
a very big one) to the flags with as few swings as possible. This took 
me a while to get used to, but I found that charging your swings is 
the only way to do this properly. Try to gauge from the position that
Hulk is standing, and imagine how the swing will be done, and as a 
result where the ball will go to. It's quite a tough little game, but
I somehow enjoyed it. I didn't win a medal though. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
e. Rooftop Jumping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There're two of these jumping challenges. Basically, you're required
to jump from building to building without touching the ground, while
trying to be as far as possible from where you begin. The difference
between the two missions is that for Rooftop Jumping 1, you're
limited strictly to jumping only, while in Rooftop Jumping 2, you can
use climbing and wall-running abilities. These are actually quite easy
to do if you've the Double Super Air Dash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
f. Hulk's Rooftop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another one related to rooftop. This one requires you to be stay on 
a rooftop while enemies start swarming all over you. Question is, why?
You've been swarmed all over by enemies during the story mode, why go 
through it all over again in a side mission? Not recommended!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
g. Fare Play
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somehow, this reminds me of the taxi-disintegrating side quest in 
Destroy all Humans!, which was a game of a similar nature (as in 
free-roaming, mission-based action/ adventure). I think it's because 
of all the taxis. For this mission, you'll need to pick up a taxi, 
run to a designated area, and put it down. Keep repeating until the  
timer ends. The more you pick up, the higher your scores. Use Running
Grab to save some seconds, and do lots of charged jumping to speed up
the process. Oh, try not to destroy any taxis too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
h. Hulk smash City!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Without doubt my favorite challenge mission of the game! Destroy as 
many objects as possible in a given time. Everything and anything
goes. No special techniques here, just keep on smashing. To get more 
points, completely destroy the objects you're smashing. For example, 
if you somehow damaged a car partially, finish up the job by reducing 
it to ashes. You get more points if you do so. At the end of the time 
limit, enjoy the fruits of your labor and do it again if you want. 
A perfect way to relieve stress by smashing stuff, without having 
enemies all over you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i. Smashing Spree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another smashing mission, although this one is more specific. You'll 
need to destroy completely eight cars, four trucks, four water towers
and 12 trees ASAP. Trees are easy - they're everywhere. Water towers,
you'll have to engage the rooftops. Trucks and cars will depend on 
your luck. You can assume that they're on the road, even though at 
times there may not be many around in a given street.
