'''Menezis''' is a minigame from the Nintendo 64, PC and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. It is a basic space shooter where flying letters and numbers must be shot.

~~You can defend yourself~~ from ~~enemy fire by pressing~~ the ~~jump button (the '''A''' key). Doing this causes the letter E to grow in size~~, ~~absorbing enemy bullets (''''dots'''') without taking damage. You can only do this if you have enough ''''exclamation marks'''' in the bottom right corner~~ of ~~the screen, as defending yourself costs one ''''!~~''''. ~~Additional ''''!s'''' can~~ be ~~earned by colliding with them when they appear on the playing field~~.

~~Your letter~~ can only take 3 hits before ~~your~~ game is over. ~~You can earn~~ additional ~~lives~~ with every 100 points.

==Accessing Menezis==

===Nintendo 64===

In the Nintendo 64 version Menezis can be accessed by holding C-Left and entering the following sequence:

B, A, B, B, A, A, B, B, B, A, A, A.

To access the secret "Personal Thanks" section in the credits, enter the following sequence without holding any other buttons:

A, B, B, A, A, A, B, B, B, B, A, A

===PC===

In the PC version Menezis is accessed by the player waiting at the end screen of the game's credits until it appears or by typing "SHOOTEMUP" during the credits, followed by pressing enter.

===Dreamcast===

In the Dreamcast version Menezis is available as a downloadable bonus.

==Description==

The player controls a flying ‘E’ that may shoot commas by pressing the shoot button (the space bar).

The E can defend itself from enemy fire by pressing the jump button (the ‘A’ key on PC). Doing this causes the ‘E’ to grow in size, absorbing enemy bullets (full stops) without taking damage. The player can only do this if they have enough exclamation marks in the bottom-right corner of the screen, as defending themselves cost one ‘!’. Additional ‘!’s can be earned by colliding with them when they appear on the playing field.

The ‘E’ can only take three hits before the game is over. The player earns an additional [[life]] with every 100 points gained. [[Life|Lives]] are shown in the top-left corner of the screen.

==Enemies==

There are three kinds of enemies in this game:

*The letter ~~''''X''''~~: these come in two types:A type which flies by and shoots bullets and a type which tries to '~~kamikaze-fly' into you~~ while shooting bullets.

*The letter ‘X’: these come in two types: a type which flies by and shoots bullets and a type which tries to ‘kamikaze’ into the player's ‘E’ while shooting bullets.

*The letter ~~''''O''''~~: these fire bullets in all directions, creating a spiral shape of bullets which ~~you have to~~ avoid ~~with your E~~. These crawl by ~~really~~ slowly.

*The letter ‘O’: these fire bullets in all directions, creating a spiral shape of bullets which the player's ‘E’ must avoid. These crawl by very slowly.

*The number ~~''''8''''~~:these reside at the far left of the screen while periodically shooting large ~~ammounts~~ of bullets in a certain direction.

*The number ‘8’: these reside at the far-left side of the screen while periodically shooting large amounts of bullets in a certain direction.
