Complete the game, then play it again in the same mode. You will start with all of Joe's powers (Slow Motion, Mach Speed, and Zoom In). eat the game once

Collect 50 film canisters to increase your VFX meter by one cell.

Start by Mach Speeding him and he will defend with his axe. Two things may happen. He will either attack you or the axe will slip out of his hands, leaving him open for attack. If he charges at you, jump out of the way and run into the fire he left by for extra fire damage when you punch him. He should be dizzy from smacking his head on the wall, so you can attack him. Repeat those steps to defeat him.

When you smash all of the axes, you will enter a door. Go through it and you will battle a Boss with guns. When he fires a shot, switch to slow motion and punch his bullets. Then, slow motion again and keep punching him.

Wait until they spawn enemies, then dodge an enemy attack marked by skulls. When they are stunned, go into Slow-Motion and hit them with a kick or punch so that they fly into the vehicle. This takes a lot of their health away. Then, while staying in Slow Motion, do this to all the other enemies with targets. If done correctly, you can destroy the helicopters, jets, and tanks without getting out of Slow Motion.

Press [Circle] and jump up two times. Then, press [Circle] again and while in the air, press [Circle] again and it should smash it the caution things that give out electricity.

While in slow motion, hold [R1] (Mach Speed) and you will be able to move faster.

Sometimes, enemies will fire missiles at you. Go into Slow Motion and punch or kick the missiles. They will flash red, then go after the enemies.

When you are on fire (not the Mach Speed fire), hold [R1] and it will go out quickly.

Once you defeat Two-Armed-Bandit, you get to play slots. Put on Slow Motion and punch the slots to stop each wheel. If you stop it on Vs, you might get a Key. If you stop it on Cheeseburgers, you will get a free life. If you stop it on V-Coins, you will get the V-Coins. If you stop it on the Sun, you will get electrocuted.

When you are fighting normal enemies, use your slow motion power and zoom in power at the same time. This will make your punches and kicks more powerful.

When you jump off of something and begin to fall, start punching and kicking. This will slow down your fall.

In the Episode 2, you will have to jump on a speeding bus then jump on a ramp and over a big gap. Before you go off the ramp, hold [L1] for slow motion. The bus will gain more speed and will get over the gap.

In Episode 2, you will see some billboards for topless bars. They have topless girls on the with black stars over the middle of their chest.

At the end of Episode 5 when you have to fight the boss (Alastor), Joe still does not know what he should call himself. Also, Alastor does not know Joe's name yet. However, in the FMV sequence before the fight, Alastor will read the script that tells about their plan, and the cover page is marked "Viewtiful Joe".

Use your Mach Speed and punch anything. You will get Viewtifuls that you can use in the store.

Sometimes, your Mach Speed, Slow Motion, or Zoom In power will have effects on items. If you are in Viewtiful mode and your Beam Watch is glowing a rainbow color, it indicates one of you VFX powers will have a effect on an item

To do a very fast attack, go into Zoom mode and hold [R1] (Mach Speed). Then, hold [Kick] and you will keep spinning, doing damage to everything that approaches. When you hold [Punch], you will start punching very fast and start moving forward.

When you use up all of your VFX power, you will turn back into regular Joe. When you are regular Joe, the screen will be slightly fuzzy, like a old movie.

When you play as Silvia, all of the FMV sequences that had Joe and Silvia will not have Silvia, but instead have a person that looks exactly like Silvia without glasses.

When you die, you will hear a voice that says "Cut! Cut! Cut!".
