Head left as soon as the level starts, use your boost with while holding to keep going forward. As you can see in my video I'm a bit clumsy and I actually don't know where to go, but still I make it. It's not that hard when you get the hang of it. You can control your ship with the d-pad, but i prefer the left analog stick.
Good luck! :)
Use X for boost.
It takes about 50-60s.
Solar Jetman has a total of five snapshots to be completed, all of which are relatively simple (though made difficult by the awkward controls). Check the video and/or text guide below for tips on each snapshot.
Snapshot 1
The first snapshot is really simple, and you have infinite time to complete it. You need to collect all of the diamonds in the level. The only obstacle here is the controls, but you should get used to them quickly enough, and the health provided is generous.
Snapshot 2
Snapshot 2 will serve to get you used to carrying cargo around. Your goal is to deliver the three fuel container to the base above you. Simply run into each fuel container one by one and bring them to the base. If you accidentally activate your shield and drop the fuel, you can turn it off again by pressing up or down on the or directional pad.
Snapshot 3
Jetman has lost his way! In the third snapshot you need to direct Jetman through the rather straightforward cave to his ship. There are a number of tight spaces you'll need to navigate, but Jetman out of his ship is significantly easier to control than the ship itself.
From where you start head left until the path ends, then go up and to the right through the narrow caves.
Snapshot 4
Probably the toughest snapshot, you have to carry a diamond to the base through some tight spots. The kicker here being that you only have 3 "hits" to get there. There's no time limit, so be patient and take your time where necessary. Controlling the ship with a diamond in tow is horrendous, so be ready to have to retry a few times.
From the starting point, head left until you can't go left any further, then head upwards. The base will be on your right when you exit the cave.
Snapshot 5
Arguably the most fun of the snapshots, the fifth and final one has you facing off against a boss enemy in a shoot-em-up style battle.
The boss has four eyes which you can only damage when open. Taking out an eye doesn't change the boss' behavior, so focusing one down at a time isn't necessary, though it may help you to focus on one at a time so you can be sure that your bullets will hit the mark.
