If you reach a point in the game where you are truly stuck and cannot move or free your character at all, you will need to restart the checkpoint. Select "Restart Checkpoint" from the Pause menu.

If your character falls through a hole in the map, you will need to restart the checkpoint. Select "Restart Checkpoint" from the Pause menu.
3. The enemies are stuck and nothing happens to allow me to move forward. How can I progress?
If you get to a point in the game where the enemies are stuck or not attacking, you will need to restart the checkpoint. Select "Restart Checkpoint" from the Pause menu. If this does not work, restart the console and load your most recently saved checkpoint.

The Daily Bugle Headlines collectibles are only available on the Nintendo DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man.
