Y'know, if this whole speed run list gets revised and stuff to include more weapons and ammo, I might just make an FAQ of this to stick up on GameFAQs. What d'ya say? n_n
--------
---DARK SIDE---
1. Exit the door and run straight to the elevator. Go down it and go through the door. You should see a missile launcher at the other end of the room. Grab that if you need it (plus two atomic health power ups behind the map thing).
2. When the path splits, take the left path and watch out for the enemy ambush on both sides. You want to go on the path labeled "Alpha Transport" Go in and activate the car. (You'll have a spare moment or two to run back to the other room and grab the items I stated in Step 1 before the car gets there.) When the car arrives, clear it out, and ride the car to the other side.
3. Follow the path and you'll end up in a big white rocky area. Run through as fast as you can, 'cause there will be an earthquake! Go in the door and take the left path.
4. You'll run across a ton of enemies here. Luckily, they're all of the weak sort. Hop on the conveyor belt where the shrinker/expander is and follow that inside. Watch out for the squish pillars in there. At the end you'll fall into a toxic depository. Hold the jump button as you fall because you don't really need to submerge unless you need pipe bombs.
5. Turn right a little and you'll see a shaft and an elevator. Use your jetpack to fly up the shaft. On this area is the yellow keycard! Take it. And now comes the tricky part. BIG ambush time. You'll have tons of slimes, aliens with chain guns, whatever you left behind before AND the mega-quick Alien Beast. Battle your way back to the Alpha Transport car and go back to the main hallway area where you got the missile launcher.
6. Watch out for the newly-appeared Assault Captain here, and make your way to the Beta Transport as quick as you can. Call the car over and head in, and go to the other side.
7. Basically follow the path and clear out the enemies until you get to the door. Go into the next room and around the desk. Hit the switch and go into the door. Then go into that hallway and press the switch, and a big, rocky, circular room will be in front of you.
(Note: If you really wanna do something for entertainment, position yourself beside the switch and press the activation button. You'll save a babe through the wall!)
8. In this room, watch out for all the sentry droids that come out of the hole in the center of the room. However, that's where you want to go. Fly up there with the jetpack and you'll arrive at a control room. Press the nearby switch and go right back down.
9. You've deactivated a forcefield on a somewhat hard-to-notice place in the circular room, but there's a little path with a hole in the wall. Go over there cautiously, there's a Battlelord and two Assault Captains in there. Once those are cleared out, blast a hole at the end of the path and follow it.
10. You'll arrive in a room with a strange black stone in the middle of the room. Go around behind it and touch it. You'll teleport to this very weird green area.
Path split time! Depending if you're doing a Secret Level Run or not.
11A. When you go through the teleporter, turn left and you'll see a crack in the wall. Blow it open, jump in, and there's the secret Nukem button! Hit it to go to the secret level!
11B. Go straight and follow the path. Watch out for more Alien Beasts and you'll get to a pool of water. Submerge and you'll find the Nukem button. Hit it!
---LUNATIC FRINGE---
1. Turn around, take out your pistol, and shoot the two buttons on your platform. Run around the level and shoot the other two buttons to open the core.
2. On the map side of the level (where you should be), you'll be right where you want to be. Be sure to have some firepower ready, 'cause there's Battlelords in the core! Take the one out on the platform at your height without going into the core, then when you finish, enter the core via the map area. Turn right and there's a switch immediately on your right. Press it.
3. Run back to the other side of the map and you'll see that there's a panel opened up in the middle. There's also a small path with shrinker shots coming out of it. Get hit and run through the little area, and hit the Nukem button.
---DREADNOUGHT---
Super shortcut time! =D
1. Swim out of the tunnel and immediately jump onto the land. Get on land and switch to your jetpack.
2. You'll see a circular vent cover high on the wall, but it's too high to jump to. Shoot it anyway and use the jetpack to fly up into it. Drop into the hole and be done with the level!
---OVERLORD---
Boss battle time. Clear out all the slime eggs as fast as humanly possible. You're gonna need a lot of space. When you're ready, hit the switch to open the door to get the Overlord out. You'll want to circle around it and hit it with every high-powered thing you can hit it with until it's dead. Watch out for its missiles, it'll shoot a buttload of them relentlessly with really stopping. Missiles are fatal. =D
---RAW MEAT---
1. Run and jump off the ledge as far as you can, then follow the path into the Sushi restaurant. Go into the middle blue curtain on the left and stand on the table, which will go down. Hit the switch in there and exit.
2. When you exit the middle room, go left, then turn right and go straight ahead to where the green stuff is. Go in that room, and watch out for the Octobrains.
3. Go to the open window, and leap out as far as you can toward the right wall. When you submerge, you should grab the access card automatically. Get out of the water and fly back up through the window, which when you turn around, will be on your left.
4. Go around the walls and on your left will be a white door which will lead to a small cash register room. On your left will be a small white compartment. Open it up to get the blue keycard.
5 Turn around and leave via the green room, and right after you'll see the blue keycard door. Use the keycard and go through it.
6. Go around a couple of corners to the right and you'll find a double-door to a kitchen area. Go inside. Go straight ahead and turn right, going down the stairs. Use the red keycard here and go up the ramp.
7. When you go up the ramp, the side of a building will explode and a couple of enemies will attack. Go through the newly-opened space to the bottom, and hit the Nukem button.
---BANK ROLL---
1. Hop off the platform, avoid landing in the dumpster, and follow the street to the end. When you see a garage door thing in a building, turn on your jetpack and fly up to around the corner area, and there will be an open window. Go inside.
2. Hit the button under the desk and get the blue keycard. Leave the way you came and go inside the blue keycard door.
3. When you go inside, turn right, then go around the corner. Jump through the window to avoid the laser tripbombs that appear, and press the button behind the desk to your left and go in the door.
4. Behind the desk, hit all three switches, turn right, and go into the newly-made door on your right. Follow the path until you get to the circle room.
5. Go through the door on the right by shooting the switch with the pistol. Walk across the catwalk, activate the switch, and go in the next room. Use your jetpack to fly across the room, grab the keycard, hit the switch on the other side, and fly out of the room.
6. Leave and go back the same way you came in. Watch out for the newly-spawned monsters. Go over to the safe door once you've exited and use the red keycard on the door.
7. Here you're going to find a buttload of enemies, including two Battlelords. You'll want to make the canisters explode, and fight off what you can for the tough enemies. A wall will get blown open on your right. Go in and march straight ahead, and you'll see the Nukem button! Hit that baby and leave the level!
---FLOOD ZONE---
This would be a "Super Shortcut!" level if the Invincibility cheat is allowed. I'll list it anyway, because I just love this shortcut. I'll also list how to quickly defeat it without using the shortcut. n_n
Shortcut Route
1. Run to the end of the cliff path and jump off, landing as close to the building as you jump. Go underwater!
2. Go forward and swim to the bottom. You'll see what is a grey door on a white building that's huge. Looks like you can't get through it, right? Wrong! Go up to the bottom-right corner of this door and hold forward so that you're shaking. Turn on Invincibility momentarily, then Press the left-strafe button and *SQUISH!*, you'll be in! Turn off invincibility.
3. Turn around and hit the switch on the right side of the door. It will open. Immediately swim over to the Alley Cat Lounge sign and collect the red keycard once it goes up. Use your jetpack underwater and fly out.
4. Fly up to the rooftop and deactivate your jetpack. Use the red keycard on the door and go inside, but watch out for Alien Beasts and other baddies. Go into the sewer area, and turn right. Fall down the hole and land in the water. Don't try to land on any land because if you do, you'll die when you land. Instead, turn left and hold the jump button so you don't submerge, then just hit the Nukem button.
Non-Invincibility Way
1. Run to the end of the cliff path and jump off, landing as close to the building as you jump. Hold the jump button as well so you don't submerge. Follow the waterway to the Alley Cat Lounge sign, but don't go over to it. Instead, there's a small opening on the left corner of this area. Go into that. You'll find a submerged building with sub-machine guns on the corner.
2. When you see this corner, activate your jetpack and fly up. You'll see the blue keycard. Get it and get back into the water, but stay right next to the building.
3. Submerge and turn around and you'll see the blue keycard door. Go in.
4. Be wary of the Octobrains and the slimes in here. Quickly go over to the shotgun shells on the left and go through the semi-transparant wall and follow the arrow upwards.
(Note: The next few steps really suck. There's a lot of going up and down for long periods of time which leads to no entertainment value. There's also no quick shortcuts to get out of it.)
5. Swim all the way to the top and you'll end up at an apartment-type place. Go down the ramp area and jump into the pool that it comes to. Turn left and follow the short path and go in the shaft. Go all the way down, grab the keycard, and go all the way back up again. Follow the path out and surface.
6. Fly up to the ramp you came in, and leave the same way you came, going down the shaft and out the blue keycard door.
7. Follow the path after you exit to the dead end underwater. You'll see an open window area that's underwater that has a shotgun inside. Go in and there's a yellow keycard door! Enter it with the keycard.
8. Follow the stairs down and activate the switch on the right to open the door. Immediately swim over to the Alley Cat Lounge sign and collect the red keycard once it goes up. Use your jetpack underwater and fly out.
9. Fly up to the rooftop and deactivate your jetpack. Use the red keycard on the door and go inside, but watch out for Alien Beasts and other baddies. Go into the sewer area, and turn right. Fall down the hole and land in the water. Don't try to land on any land because if you do, you'll die when you land. Instead, turn left and hold the jump button so you don't submerge, then just hit the Nukem button.
---L.A. RUMBLE---
Super Shortcut #4! =D
1. Exit the sewer and go out into the outside area. Go around the round building on your right a little bit.
2. Activate your jetpack and fly up high to the open window at the top. Go inside.
3. Grab the red keycard off the shelf after going around the thin wall, clearing out the baddies, and going inside a little ways. Go back over to the desk and hit the switch underneath it to open up a passageway in the wall on the right. Go inside.
4. Use the red keycard on the door and open the shelf. Go through the teleporter, and hit the Nukem button!
---MOVIE SET---
Super Shortcut #5! That is...if you're not doing an all-levels run. This is also my favorite shortcut in the game. =D
1A. Immediately turn around and run through to the vending machine area. However, instead of getting the blue keycard, go over to that small opening in the door instead. Crouch down, and while crouching, hold forward and jump. You'll go right under the opening! Go down the stairs and hit the nukem button. It's as easy as that!
However, if you're going to go to Area 51, you have a lot more work ahead of you, soldier!
1B. Immediately turn around and run through to the vending machine area. Grab the blue keycard by the phone and run back to the starting point. Turn left, and open the blue keycard door.
2. Immediately upon entering, go straight ahead and go into the "Quiet on the set" door in front of you. Turn left and go into the set area. Kill the enemies in there and grab the yellow keycard.
3. Go back into the room you entered with the blue keycard. Hop up to the yellow keycard door and go in.
4. You'll be in a room with a spaceship set! Go into the spaceship itself and get on the chair on the right to get the red keycard. Exit immediately.
5. Go back into the room you got the yellow keycard in, but instead of going over to that part of the set you go the yellow keycard at, go to the door in front of you and use the red keycard. Go inside and on your right is a switch. Press it, turn around, and exit through the first door on your left.
6. Watch out now, there's a bunch of tough aliens out there to hand your head to you. Turn left and run around the whole building until you get to Stage 17C. Go inside and take care of the enemies there as best you need to.
7. There's a bloody handprint on the right side, which looks like some purple liquid control screen. Press it and an opening will open up on the right side of you, about the size of a vent. Crawl through the cave until you see the end.
8. You'll have your work cut out for you. There's alien beasts in this room, and in the next room once you open the door, as well as a lot of other baddies. Kill or avoid them, whichever needs to be done. Just get to the secret Nukem button in the next room.
---AREA 51---
1. Exit out of the tunnel and go over to the building straight ahead. There's a fan on the building under your feet. Shoot it and hop in.
2. Turn right and press the switch. Grab the blue keycard that's in front of the computer monitors straight ahead. You'll activate an ambush! Take the left exit and go through the teleporter.
3. Turn right after you exit the cave area and go around the building to the front door. Go inside and run through until you get to the elevator shaft. Press the middle switch and the elevator shaft will open. Make your way down, and unless you use your jetpack, damage or death is inevitable.
4. At the bottom of the shaft, jump up and fly up to the pillar with switches on it. Deactivate both and go into door #1.
5. Be extra ready to fight off a ton of Alien Beasts here at all times. Activate the switch and jump on top of the pillar when it lowers. The little wall blocking the keycard will lower and you can get the red keycard. You'll then get ambushed by two more Alien Beasts. Pressing the button to re-rise the guard in the small, cramped area won't do you any good protecting yourself from them. Kill them and go out with your keycard.
6. Go through door #2 and go through the exit on the left. Go out into the spaceship area for more Alien Beast fun! Take care of them and go to the left corner at the other end of the room to find the red keycard door. Use the keycard and go inside, using the teleporter.
7. Take care of the enemies inside and grab the yellow keycard. Escape by hitting the switch on the right side of you, going over to the window, and jumping out. Land on the spaceship, then jump up to the ramp with the bridge and use the yellow keycard on the elevator.
8. When you get to the bottom, there's a Battlelord that's not going to let you press switches! You'll have to kill it. Then with the switch puzzle, you'll have to hit the switches in this manner:
LEFT SIDE: XXOX
RIGHT SIDE: OOXX
Hit the multi-switch once to get the left side to appear, then once again to get the right side to appear, then a third time to get the switches activated on both sides of the room. Press the switches to make the Nukem button appear! Hit that and exit the level!

The rest of the stages will come either later today, or sometime tomorrow.
