=============================================================================== The FAQ/WALKTHROUGH for KRUSTY'S FUN HOUSE, v1.1 Based on the Game Boy version Written by SubSane and Martin Dale-Hench Last updated May 10, 2004 =============================================================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introductions 1.2 About the Game 1.3 About the Guide 1.4 About the Walkthrough 2.0 THE BASICS 2.1 Game Start 2.2 Status Screen 2.3 Controls 2.4 Blocks 2.5 Items 2.6 Points 3.0 QUICK TIPS 4.0 WALKTHROUGH 4.1 World #1 4.2 World #2 4.3 World #3 4.4 World #4 4.5 World #5 4.6 Conclusion 4.7 Ending 5.0 CODES & SECRETS 6.0 LEGAL / MISC. 6.1 Version History 6.2 Guide Credits 6.3 Contact Information 6.4 Legal Stuff =============================================================================== ===== 1.0 INTRODUCTION ======================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1 Introductions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Dale-Hench's (Reformed Pirate) Intro ------------------------------------------- Although I am not a Simpson worshipper (and I mean that in the nicest way, heh) as Vic (SubSane), I certainly does love to watch Simpsons when I can, like any other American. However, I have a bad taste on the Simpsons games except for Simpsons Arcade, because I haven't played many good Simpsons games. Boy was I wrong! Krusty's Funhouse is a well-organized, well-structured, Lemmings-like video game! This excellent Simpsons game might be the longest GB game I've ever played, next to perhaps Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The puzzles keeps getting harder and harder while giving you some of the easier ones on the way to make your life more plausible. *wink* I wrote the even stages (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.) and Vic wrote odds, so if you have any questions on a certain even stage, you can just e-mail me at hockeyfox (at) ameritech (dot) net. Thanks and enjoy this FAQ! SubSane's Intro --------------- Well, another Simpsons FAQ by SubSane? WHAT A SHOCKER! And for those keeping track (namely myself) it's the 28th notch on the bed post. Of course this time I had the honor of workin' with my man Martin up there, whose FAQs are among the best I have seen. So when he volunteered to help out with this one it was quite welcome. See, I'll be honest. Krusty's Fun House (as well as the Super version), is a LONG game. And even though I had already written for the Genesis version, it was a task I wasn't looking forward to. Plus, I'd always wanted to work with a coauthor. Ok, I think that's long enough to count as an intro. :) Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 About the Game ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message from Krusty the Clown: H-h-hi kids! Some pesky rats have infested my lovely fun house up in the Springfield hills and I need your help to get rid of them! These rats are real dumb, they just walk around climbing over anything that isn't bigger than they are. If they reach a wall or barrier that is higher than them, they'll just turn around and go the other way... Use the blocks and items that you find lying around to move the rats around the level to those wacky traps where Bart, Homer and my faithful helpers Sideshow Mel and Corporal Punishment are ready to help us get rid of those rats! Good luck...! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.3 About the Guide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, um, what's there to say? This guide is for the Game Boy version of Krusty's Fun House, which is different from the Super versions that came out on the SNES and Genesis. So, I wouldn't use this guide for those games. This guide also has a quick-find system in order to help those folks who don't feel like randomly scrolling through text in search of some small thing. Just look above in the table of contents to find the section, highlight the reference number (such as 1.1), and hold ctrl and C to copy it. Then, hold ctrl and F to open a Find screen, and finally press ctrl and V to paste the number and search for the section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4 About the Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The walkthrough is divided according to the five Worlds that are in the game. But, each World is then divided by the number of doors within the World. You can find a map of the World at the beginning of each section. =============================================================================== ===== 2.0 THE BASICS ========================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Game Start ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Push Start - - - - - - You'll be sent straight to a password screen, but if you don't have a password just press Start to begin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2 Status Screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lives - - - The Krusty icon in the top-left is the number of lives you have. Current Block - - - - - - - The gap between the lives and points is where your current block is shown. Points - - - - The six digits in the top-center represent your points. Points grant extra lives, but this game is too easy to lose any lives in. Weapon - - - - The last item on the right is your current weapon. The weapons will always be either pies or marbles. Health - - - - This is something I should mention. This is NOT in the HUD, but you only have ten hits before you lose a life. You can replenish health with burgers and squishees. Krusty is low on health when he starts to breathe heavily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3 Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command | Character Action | Other ---------------------------------------------------------------- Left | Move Krusty | Navigate menus Right | Move Krusty | Navigate menus Up | Enter the doors | Navigate menus Down | Pick up/drop blocks | Navigate menus B button | Throw pies, kick blocks | - A button | Jump | - Select | Quit and exit a door | - Start | Pause | Select in the menus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.4 Blocks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Block type | Purpose of block ---------------------------------------------------------------- Basic | Basic block, used for climbing Pipe | Both vertical and L-shaped, used for pipes Fan | Blows rats up, left, or right Spring | Used to bounce up Jar | Holds one rat, kick to bust open Moving | Can be kicked to the side Magic | Kick to reveal items, open new areas, reveal new magic blocks, or reveal platforms Weak | Can be broken by standing on or using marbles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5 Items ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item | Purpose of item ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pies | Weapons Marbles | Weapons Krusty icon | Extra life Burgers | Replenish health Squishee | Replenish health Mug | Replenish health Hot dog | Replenish health Spotted bag | 100 points Horn | 100 points ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.6 Points ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Points are good for extra lives, but there are plenty of extra lives in the game anyway. So, points are optional. Rat Points - - - - - - You get 330 points for each rat that gets killed. Hooray for rat death! Items Points - - - - - - - Spotted bag...100 Horn..........100 Enemy Points - - - - - - - World #1...100 World #2...100 World #3...500 World #4...500 World #5...1000 You can also get points from beating timed stages before time runs out. Timed stages give you plenty of time, so it shouldn't be a problem. =============================================================================== ===== 3.0 QUICK TIPS ========================================================== Grouping - - - - - Try to group the rats as often as possible. You can do this by trapping the rats in a small space so that they all become a very tight group. There are three ways: (B=Block, F=Fan) | B |_BB___ | B |__B___ | |_F____ The top one is for three available blocks, the bottom one is best when only two blocks are available. They both make it easier to manage large groups. The third method involves using a fan that is facing a wall or another block. Remember, the fan has to face TOWARD the wall or block. They may not always be mentioned in the guide, but keep these methods in mind. Thinking Ahead - - - - - - - - Always go through an entire door before starting to trap the rats. It's best to know what's ahead so you can plan out the best possible method to trap the rats. Don't Kill - - - - - - Sometimes it's best to avoid an enemy, if possible. You can conserve precious ammo, especially the marbles since they are sometimes needed to access areas in a door. =============================================================================== ===== 4.0 WALKTHROUGH ========================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 World #1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Door locations for World #1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------- | | | |____ 1-1 1-2 1-3 | ________| | |____________________________ | | | | | | 1-7 | | 1-8 1-6 1-5 1-4 |__| _____| |____________________________________________|_____| ---------------------------------------------------- (Door 1-7 cannot be accessed until you kick the special magic block in Door 1-4. Door 1-8 will open once you have beaten Doors 1-1 through 1-7.) Enemies in World #1 are: Snakes Trap assistant will be: Bart and the Smash-O-Matic Door 1-1 - - - - - - - Very simple first door. Go to the right and grab the basic block that is on the small platform by pressing Down while on top of it. Don't use the block for the mice yet. Take it to the right and place it next to the wall to get in the tunnel. Go through and you'll find a room with a snake in it. One pie will kill the snake. Press B to kick the magic block and get some point items. Go back to the hole where the mice fell into and place the block on the right edge of the hole. The mice will now climb up and go into Bart's trap. Go back to complete the first door. Door 1-2 - - - - - - - Jump onto the platform to the right and hop to the left to get onto the moving platform. You might miss it, but try again and get on it. Once there, step onto the next platform to the left and pick up the block (down while on it) and drop to the base level with the mice. Put the block on the left-most position, directly below the silver pipe. Wait for all FOUR mice to enter the pipe and pick the block up again. Return to the moving platform and have a BIG jump to the right to reach the far platform. Drop down to find the mice again. Place the block on the base of the double-stacked platform on the ground to let the mice climb over it. When all 4 have crossed the platform, pick it up and put it on the right-most area (against the wall). The mice will climb to the next pipe and toward Bart's machine. You're done with the mice now! Scale the wall to the right and go down to the 'tunnel' and continue to the right. Once you see a path underneath, take the right fork to find a snake. Bang him (her?) away with a burger. Return to the fork and take the left path to find several platform under a moving platform. Take it to return to the area with the door. Door 1-3 - - - - - - - This door looks complicated, but it's easy. The rats will walk themselves right next to the trap, so don't worry about them. Jump into the hole on the left and pick up that block. Then, run to the right (kick any magic blocks to get the stuff) until you see the first pipe. Place the block over that pipe in the ground to block it and ensure that the rats walk over it. But if a rat falls in all you have to do is wait for it to return. You'll need that same basic block to cover the pipe that is next to the trap and kill all the rats. Now pick up the basic block and climb up to the upper levels from the right side. On the top you'll have to kill some snakes, but there are also magic blocks containing pies, and point items. Use the basic block to reach the last magic block all the way on the left. All done, let's get to the next door. Door 1-4 - - - - - - - Go to the right and climb up the stairs to enter a large greenhouse of sorts. Jump along the tops of the palm trees and get the marbles from the block at the top of a tree, then pick up the block on the platform just below. Use a marble or two to break open the cracked wall that is to the upper right. Go inside and you'll see some breakable blocks with point items, then at the very top you'll find another block. Kick this block to unlock the opening to Door 1-7. Go back down and avoid or kill the snake, because now they fire spit from their mouths. The mice should be near the trap already, so just get yourself to the right. There are two separate groups of rats, so go to the upper right corner of the room. Step on the left block of the platform that those rats are on, and it will break. The rats will fall through and eventually join the other group of rats on the ground. Once the rats are together, place the block you have in your hands next to the pots to have the rats climb over. After all the rats have gone over, quickly take the blue block and place it on the very left edge of the platform between the pipes. Here's how it should look: (P=Pipe, B=Block) P P PPPP PPPP B___________ P P The rats will come out of the pipe on the right and climb up to the other pipe using the block. That pipe will then drop them off in front of the trap. Memorize that block strategy because in the later stages you will be using it. All done here, let's go to 1-5. Door 1-5 - - - - - - - This door is left of Door 1-4. Go inside and to the right. Make your way down the stairs to find a snake (kill it off if you can) and a pipe block, a new type of block that you will start to see. Pick it up and place it under the stairway so you can jump up there again, then continue to the right. Kick that single magic block and use the moving platform to reach the basic block at the top. Pick that up and go all the way back to the entrance. So, now you can reach the magic block in mid air, which will give up some marbles. Use them to bust through the weak blocks on the left, where you will find more magic blocks with point items, as well as some pies. Make sure to pick up the basic block again. When you reach the bottom and go right you will find more magic blocks. Kick them to get more stuff, then kill the snake and kick the magic block at the end of the path. That will take you to a bonus room where, if you collected all the items, you will get an extra life. Leave and go up the other new area to find yourself back in the main hall. Go to the right this time and ride the platform to the top. Jump on the platform under the trap and stand on the dark blocks to break them. Keep doing this until you reach the bottom. Now that the rats are in position you will need that pipe block. Go back and get it, then jump under the trap and jump into the gap on the right. You should see that there is a gap between the vertical and horizontal pipes. Place the pipe into the gap to connect the two. Now go back and pick up the basic block from where ever you dropped it. Go back down to the bottom and to the right, where you'll find a small gap between a pipe and the ground. Your job is to place the block between the ground and the pipe so it's in mid-air. Check section 3.0 for the details, in case you already forgot. So, the block goes between the pipe and the edge, creating a step for the rats. You may not get all the rats at once, but keep doing it until they all get up to the trap. We're done, let's move on. Door 1-6 - - - - - - - Head up and kick the boxes to find some bonus items for some points. Go to the right and climb up the platforms on the right-side wall. You will see some mice (4) walking around in a tiny space. Ignore them and continue to the left wall and jump and hug the wall to land on a platform with a block. Pick it up, of course. You will have to return to the top platform like you did before (use the platforms to get to the right wall and go up). Back there, you may want to place the block on the left indent sticking out under the hole in the ceiling. (Watch out for debris [eggs?] coming from above) Jump from it to propel yourself to the top-most platform to find 4 blocks for you, including some burgers. Then, go back to the mice pit and put the block on the right side, allowing the mice to jump off to the side. (Don't forget the block!) Go all of the way down to the corner, where the machine and Bart lurks. Put the block ON the pipe entrance on the ground. That way, the mice won't enter the pipe and start over on the top, causing you pain and suffering. :) Simply go to the center of the room for the door to leave. Door 1-7 - - - - - - - The access to this door will open when you kick the special magic block in Door 1-4. This door requires you to be very fast in order to trap the rats. Fall into the hole just ahead, then you will find three more gaps to fall into. Fall into the small hole on the left and you should find a basic block. Pick it up quickly and jump in the next hole to the right. The path will lead you through a tunnel. You may run into drops and snakes, but they shouldn't be a problem. Once you see the trap find the hole in front and place the basic block over the hole. By blocking that hole the rats will climb over and go into the trap. Now go all the way to the left and you'll find a platform and some magic blocks. You'll get point items, health items, and an extra life. That wasn't too difficult, now let's go to the final door. Door 1-8 - - - - - - - You cannot access this door until you beat the first seven doors. Drop down levels and kill the snakes as they come (6 total) with your weapon. On the way, you will see a block that you can pick up. Pick it up and continue to the right corridor. Jump up and break each box on each side on every floor. Once you reach the top floor, break the right box to unlock World 2. Break the left box to reveal a cracked floor. Drop through it and continue dropping through cracked floors. When going back up to the door, use the block to propel yourself up an unreachable level. Go back to the entrance to close Room #1 and gain access to Room #2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2 World #2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Door locations for World #2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------- | | 2-8 2-9 | | | |2-4 ---------------- | | | |--- _| 2-5 2-6 2-7 | | | | _| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | |__________ __| | | 2-3 2-2 2-1 _| | | | 2-10 --------------------------------| |______|_____| | --------------------------------------------- (You cannot access Doors 2-5 through 2-7 until you kick the special magic block in Door 2-2. Door 2-10 will open once you defeat all the other doors.) Enemies in World #2 are: Aliens Trap assistant will be: Homer and the Zap-O-Matic Door 2-1 - - - - - - - At the start you'll find three basic blocks. Pick one up and fall down next to the pipe. Place it under the pipe, then go back up and grab another block. Place the next block at the base, so that you build steps. Example: (P=Pipe, B=Block) | | | PPPP B _____B Keep this method in mind because you will have to use it again. Anyway, go to the top and pick up the third basic block, then go to the right. You will reach a wall you can't jump over, so drop the block one space away from it. Go back and get the block that you dropped on the floor and put it on the right edge of the one next to the wall. It should look like this: | | | | B| _____B_______ Pick up the block on the ground and jump over the wall. Now go to the right and use the basic block to get the three rats into the trap. Well then, it's time for some extras. When you see the moving platforms, climb on them. They will lead you to a long line of weak blocks. These break away, so what you have to do is walk to the left and don't stop. When you get to the end of this path you'll find some magic blocks containing point items, pies, and a burger. Kill the alien as soon as you arrive to get it out of the way. Next, fall down and break through the weak blocks on the ground. Go all the way to the right and bust open the magic block to get an extra life. Get to the door to exit. Door 2-2 - - - - - - - There are no blocks here to pick up, only blocks that you can kick to MOVE, not break. Press B next to a block to move it. Keep that in mind. Kick the block to the right of you to drop it a level and continue kicking it until it goes down to the ground level. DO NOT KICK IT INTO A WALL! It will be trapped there and you will have to press select to die and re-start. Before we proceed, go back near the top and jump through the thin pipes near the door. Make your way through the pipe maze, keeping in mind that you can only jump up through horizontal pipes. When you get to the laser gun, avoid its shots. Go through the tunnel and kill the aliens. When you get to the open space go up, kicking any blocks you see. The block that is surrounded by thick pipes leads to a secret area. You will get an extra life if you beat it, plus a VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THING! VERY IMPORTANT THING! VERY IMPORTANT THING! Sorry, I had to make sure you realize that the secret area in here is very important. You must get all of the items in a short amount of time. One tip: when you get the first mug, jump into the hole and then back up to get the bag on the right side. Now I mean it, you have to beat this secret area no matter what!!! If you mess up, Pause and press C to exit and come back in. When you beat it you'll get the extra life like I mentioned, but you'll appear at a different door. Next to this door is the VERY IMPORTANT thing. A breakable block. Kick it to gain access to doors 2-5 through 2-7. Go up and kick the block away, then make your way back to the tunnels you came from. Walk right and you'll end up in a room with an alien and the rats. Kill the alien and make your way up to the rat platforms. Go up onto the platforms find some mice (4). Kick the lower block to the left and the upper one to the right to allow the mice climb down. Now, this is important... break the block to the left to get some marbles. Head back to the unbreakable blocks set in two rows. Destroy them with your new marbles. Go to the other side and kick the block to the RIGHT until it drops. The mice will head for Homer and his machine. Head up for the door to end this. Door 2-3 - - - - - - - Well, we're back to the step method in this door, where you have to build steps to platforms using basic blocks. But first, let's take care of the extras. Go to the right and fall into the first hole you see. There will be two aliens in this bottom area, so kill them and get the marbles from the magic block. Now go up to the top and use the moving platforms to reach the weak blocks in the top-left corner. Bust through with some marbles and you'll get access to a whole bunch of point items and pies. Remember to kick the magic blocks on top first, then the ones at the bottom. Go back down and jump across the platforms above the thick pipes until you see a magic block. Kick it to get a burger. Now it's time to trap the rats. Leave the basic block that is covering the pipe, and pick up one of the others. Now, if you jump up to the platforms above that series of thick pipes, and if you get to the top-left platform, you should see a pipe hanging down from the ceiling. Memorize that place. Drop the basic block at the left edge, so it looks like this: (P=Pipe, B=Block) -----------P------------- P B_________ Go back for another basic block and place it at the left edge of the first, then pick up the fan block that is facing to the right. Place the fan at the left edge of the second block, then take away the first block. The whole thing should look like this: -----------P------------- P F B_________ Almost done. The final move is to pick up the fan block that is facing up and place it on the right half of the first high thick pipes you come across. These pipes will be just under and to the left of a platform. Here's an illustration of it: (P=Pipe, F=Fan) ------------ F PP PP PPP PP P The plan here is that the rats will walk to that bottom fan and get blown up so they cross the path of the fan you placed at the top. That right-facing fan will then blow them across the length of the room, and they will stop right above the trap and fall in. The placement of the fans is important here, so make sure you have them in the right spots. Step in front of the door to exit and lock it up for good. Door 2-4 - - - - - - - The rats will be right next to your entrance, and they will stay there forever, until you put them up to the Zap-O-Matic to the left. There are four blocks that you will have to pick up and arrange them like a staircase, so let's go get them first. Now that you know how to put the mouse up, let's find the blocks. Block #1: Directly to the right of you, protected by an alien. Just pounce on his ass and pick the block amongst the other breakable blocks. Place the block on the ground with the mice. Block #2: Ride the elevator on the right side of the main room up. On the way, you should see an alcove with a lone block. Break it to find five marbles waiting for you. Continue upwards (use the platforms against the wall) to the next passage. There are some boxes blocking your to the next block. Break them with the marbles, and pick the block up. Return to the base floor and place the block there. Block #3: This time, take the LEFT elevator, the one above the Zap-O-Matic. The first passage to the left will lead you to a large room with an alien and the block you need, which is in the lower left corner. Break the other boxes from top to bottom to free the block. Put the block along with the other blocks you had. Block #4: Again, take the left elevator, but bypass the first passage and find the next one. Once in there, defeat the two aliens to find the final block, stashed away in the rear. Now that you have all of the boxes, arrange them like a staircase: ___ZOM___ | ZOM: Zap-O-Matic |B B: Block | B | B | |___B_____| If the mice gets stuck in the inside part of the blocks, just remove the first one and let them pass and put it back. Door 2-5 - - - - - - - This door is huge, but not that hard to beat. Start off by falling down the hole to the left and killing the alien along the way. Pick up the block when you see it, then jump up through the small tunnel to get back to the door. Go to the left again and use the block to get over the high wall. Kill the alien in the first hole, then kill the next alien you see. Go through the tunnel and fall down. Find the rats and pick up the block next to it, then go up to the platform near a laser gun. Place the block on the left edge of the platform and jump onto the small ledges on the left. Jump up and kick any magic blocks to get some point items, and kill the alien as well. Fall back to the bottom and pick up the basic block again. Jump over the thick pipe next to the rats and you'll find the trap, so let's trap the rats. Fall into the hole that is left of the rat area and pick up the fan block on the left. You can drop the block here for now. Fall in the hole and place the fan right under the trap platform, but not directly under. Place it under and one space to the left. (F=Fan, P=Pipe, B=Block) __Trap__ PP PP FPP PP Now go back to where the three blocks are gathered on the left. Take one block and cover the pipe that is on the ground. Take another block and cover one of the pipes on the left, then take the third block and cover the other pipe on the right side, near the spot where the blocks used to be. PP BPPP BPPPP BPP Go back around all the way to where you dropped the first block you had and pick it up. Use this block to build a step for the rats to get out of their area. Now rush to the spot where you placed all the blocks (the pipe area at the bottom), and place this block to complete the steps. BPP BPPP BPPPP BPP Wait for the rats to walk over, then grab those three blocks and build some steps up to the thick pipes. I also suggest grouping the rats, a method that is described in section 3.0 of this FAQ. BPP B PP B PP PPPPPPP This next part must be done quickly. As soon as the rats walk over the block that is covering the pipe on the left, pick up that block and run all the way to the trap. Stand on the left edge of the platform as if you were going to place the block on the edge, but wait. After the rats fly up in the air place the block on the edge. The rats will then land on the block and walk into the trap. See, not too tough. Go to the far right then follow the tunnel at the top to go back to the door and leave. Door 2-6 - - - - - - - Head upwards, hopping around pipes, and head up and a bit to the right. When you have the chance to go to the left, do it. Keep going left until you're nearly at the top (should be able see the Alien on the top-most platform) BUT DO NOT get to the top. Get to the second-to-last platform, the under right under the Alien. Go to the right and follow the abyss down to the ground. Once back to the ground, go to the left to find the block along with an Alien. Go back up through the pipes, to the left this time. Continue doing this until you're at the top and is able to go down freely. You should end up back the starting point, by the Zap-O-Matic. Now, place the block under the pipe to allow the mice climb up to the pipe, like this: PPPPP _____B________ When at least 3 mice are in the pipe, QUICKLY pick the block up and head up to the top end of the pipes and place the block to the left of the Zap-O-Matic before the mice falls to the ground, starting the process all over again. The block should be like this: _____ /PPP | ZOM: Zap-O-Matic \PPPP\ __ZOM_ B: Block /PPPP/B \PPPPPPPP __________________ If there's still some mice left, just repeat the process. 1 or 2 mice at a time is the best way to do it, not with all 4. Door 2-7 - - - - - - - This door can't be accessed until you kick the special magic block in Door 2-2. This one is quite difficult when trying to figure it out. Of course you don't have to if you're reading this guide. Let's take care of everything else first. Ignore all rats and blocks and fall down to the bottom. Kill those two aliens. Keep walking to the right and kill the third alien you come across. Hop up to the upper level (near the trap), and ride that moving platform to the right. Kick the magic block to get some marbles. Ride the platform back to the left and hop up to the level with the weak blocks. Use the marbles to break through and kick the magic blocks to get some point items. All right, let's trap the rats. Pick up a basic block and fall into the hole left of the door. Now you have to block a series of fans and pipes. Let me illustrate: (P=Pipe, F=Fan, B=Block) __F _| | _| | _| | _____P______________F___P_____F___F____| |_________P___ This is a diagram showing all of the pipes and fans that you need to block using the three basic blocks near the door. Start by blocking the first pipe, then grab another block and cover the fan that follows. Grab the third block and use it to get the rats out of their spot (after GROUPING the rats, check section 3.0 of the FAQ for details). Pick up the block again when the rats are out use the block to cover the pipe on the platform below the entrance. That pipe must be covered or the rats will end up back at the beginning. Take the block and cover the next pipe in the line after the rats have turned to the left. Once the rat has passed over the first pipe, pick up that block and cover the next fan in the way. Once the rat has passed over the first fan, pick up the block and cover the third fan in the way. When the rat has passed over the second pipe, take that block and cover the fan at the top of the steps. When the rat has passed over the fan at the top of the steps, take that block and cover the last pipe in the way. This is the more complicated way. If you're quick enough all you really need is one block. Whew, that was a whole lot of moving. Unfortunately, we're only half done. Now we have to get the rats up some platforms and onto the level with the trap. It's time to whip out the ol' step method. So, leave the block that is covering the pipe alone. Go back and pick up the two blocks we left behind and bring them here. Hop onto the first pyramid platform and place a block out on the right edge. Grab another block and place it on the right edge of the first block. It should look like this: _ B _B __B___ P Now, take away the first block and place it on the left edge of the block that is covering the pipe. Like this: _ B _ B __B___ P The rats have to be on the right side of the steps so they can climb up. The absolute SECOND the rats get onto the pyramid, take away the top block and place it at the top of the pyramid. Like this: B _ _| |_ B __| |__ ____________B__ P Again, the absolute SECOND the rats turn around, take that block from the top of the pyramid and make a step, like this: _ _ _| |_ B __| |__B ____________B__ P The rats will climb up the steps and over onto the next pyramid platform. Take another block and trap the rats between the top of the pyramid and the wall. Now take the block at the very bottom and the one in mid air and make steps that lead to the third platform on the left. Quickly take away the block that has the rats trapped and place it at the edge of the third platform. Once the rats have gone over one of the other blocks, pick one up and place it at the left edge of the other block to build steps up to the next level. Once the rat has climbed over one of the blocks, take it and quickly cover the hole that is between two pyramid platforms on this level. The rats will walk themselves the rest of the way and get zapped. Man, was that not A LOT OF HELL? Seriously, it's not too tough. It just takes an understanding of the step method. I hope by now you got it. That's finally done, let us go on. Door 2-8 - - - - - - - One of the easiest stages in the first 2 worlds. Quickly head to the right and pick the block by the pipe and jump right. You will see another block blocking the other side of the pipe. Leave the block you have right now RIGHT NEXT to it and pick the one blocking the pipe up. Go onto the weak blocks and have one of them break down and fall through it. Now, there are three alien 'ships' around here. Don't mind them, just dodge their 'lasers' or whatever. Place the block under the first alien ship's metal thingy, it should look like this: _ _ |_ | |_ |____B| |_ | Wait for the mice to come (they should come if you unclogged the pipes quickly enough!). When they goes across the block, pick it up again and move to the next two-layer wall (like the above picture) and place the block in its intended position. After that, fast-forward to the end of the wall to the right and place the block against the wall there. The mice will climb up to the 'fan'/'blower' and go up to Homer J. Simpson and his Zap-O-Matic. To return to the door, follow the path west of the three alien ships and go up the platforms. Door 2-9 - - - - - - - Hey all right, another easy one! Fall straight to the bottom-left corner. There are two laser guns going up and down, so watch out for them. Kick those purple blocks starting with the top ones to get some health and point items. Now jump up through the pipes on the right side. At the top you'll find a basic block, so pick it up. Go over the top and to the rat hole on the left. Place the block as a step so any rats that come out will fall over. Wait for all of the rats to go over, then jump over yourself. Now the final simple part is to use the block to create a step to the steps that are already on the right side of the trap. It may take a couple of times to get all the rats, but it's still way easy. To get back to the door, go around the right side and over the top. Go into the spot where the rats were and fall over, but fall to the left. You will land on a piece of pipe. Now just jump up to the door. Great, another simple door defeated. On to the next door. Door 2-10 - - - - - - - Follow the tunnel left and up, and you will come upon three pits with a space ship firing lasers in each pit (3). Now, jump over all three and make a LARGE jump to the right and stick to the wall. You should make it into a small passage in the wall. Follow it to an alien. Blast it to hell and continue walking the path. You should find several blocks here, with the final one as the switch for World 3. To get back to the door, just return via the passage and drop down. Fall through the LEFT breakable blocks and continue west (left) until you can go further down, which will lead you to the door. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.3 World #3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Door locations for World #3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 3-5 3-6 | | 3-1 ___| __________ | |____ _| | 3-4 | |_ 3-12 3-13 | | _| | _________|_ | |_ --------- 3-11 3-14| | |_______| | | | 3-10| | _________| | 3-2 | | --|______| | 3-8 3-9 | | |____ | | 3-7 | |_________| | | |_ | |______| | | |_ 3-3 | | | |___| | --------------------------------------------------------------- (Door 3-7 can be accessed after kicking the special kick block in Door 3-6. Door 3-10 can be accessed after kicking the special magic block in Door 3-9. Doors 3-12 and 3-13 can be accessed after kicking the special magic block in Door 3-8. Door 3-14 will open once you have closed all of the other doors.) Enemies in World #3 are: Flying pigs, snakes Trap assistant will be: Sideshow Mel and the Pop-O-Matic Door 3-1 - - - - - - - Go to the right and use the group of red springs on the left to get to the platform at the top. The left platform has a burger if you want to get it as well. Hold the jump button to go higher each time you hit the springs. Don't even bother with the flying pig, just go around it. So you once get to the top grab the fan block and jump down, then use the next spring to get over the wall. Fall down and go left to find the trap, a basic block, and a moving block. First you need to drop the fan block. Look at the steps that lead up to the left. Do you see how they are single spaces, but then the steps get wider? You need to put the fan on the left side of the very first wide step. Now go to the platform above the trap and pick up the basic block, then kick the moving block to the right twice. The moving block will fall onto the platform below. The trap platform has two elevated spaces on the left. Put the basic block on the right space. Now just wait. The rats will eventually make their way up the long steps, the fan will push them to the right, the moving block will make them turn left, and the basic block will make them turn toward the trap. Visuals are always good, so: (F=Fan, B=Block, R=Moving block) ______ _ |__ R |F_ ________ |_ | |_ | _B __ ______Trap___ Hope that helps. After the rats have all been blown up, let's get the extras. Pick up the basic block and go to the left. Avoid the flying pigs for now. Fall down and you'll get to some magic blocks. Place the block next to the magic blocks and kick through the top row first, then the bottom row. You'll get a point item and pies. Well, that's about it. You can kill the flying pigs if you want, but it takes three hits. Go back to the door to exit. Door 3-2 - - - - - - - Head up and break ALL of the magic boxes to hit it off. Yes, break ALL of them because they're just hindrances... anyway... take either a block or a fan and bring it down to the door. See the two fans on the ground that's blowing the mice up in the air? Place the block/fan ABOVE the RIGHT fan to move the right-side mice over to the left side. Take the block/fan. Head to the north-most platform, with the two kick-able blocks. Kick the RIGHT brick to the RIGHT TWICE. Then, kick the same brick to the LEFT two times. It should drop through the hole. Then, use your fan or block to construct a staircase to the Pop-O-Matic. It should look like this: PP__ __ | |___POM__ B| POM: Pop-O-Matic _X P: Pipe PPP B: Block X: Brick Take the only remaining pick-up block (the block or the fan) and go down the shaft to the left. Place the block on the lower left corner to block the mice from going to the left-side fan. They will use the block/fan to go up to the upper-left fan, en route the Pop-O-Matic. If you constructed a staircase to the Pop-O-Matic correctly (like I said), the mice will be popcorn. Head for the door to finish it. Door 3-3 - - - - - - - This one is simple. Jump up to the left and you'll see some platforms, and the top platform will have a moving block. Kick the moving block to the left, then go around the bottom and kick it to the left again, then kick left one more time. It will cover the pipe and force the rats to go the other way, to the trap. Like I said, easy. Now let's get the extras. Go to the left into the checkered area. Kick the blocks to get some point items 'n such, then walk into the hole on the left and some stairs will appear. Follow them and jump into the gap on the right to get some more point items. Follow the tunnel and you'll run into a snake. Afterwards, use the spring to get to the top and run into some purple blocks. You'll get pies, point items, and a few health items. That's about it, so go to the left and exit. Door 3-4 - - - - - - - There are a lot of blocks here, as you can see. But there is a fan at the top of the staircase. That's the most important thing. You may check around the level for a few breakable blocks for some items, but that's not necessary. Here's what to do with the blocks... take one and put it on the left side of the weird inverted L-shaped platform jutting out. That should make a stair- case for the mice to get over that obstacle. The second block should be the one that leads the mice to the pipe to far right. Altogether, it should look like this: | __ P ___________B__|_______ B| _| | | | | | You have three blocks and a fan left unused. Let's get them. Take a block and go up to the platform where the pipe will end (go up to the left first, jump two gaps to get here). Place the block on the extreme left end. Return and take one more block and place one atop the previous one. Now, get a fan and place it one block right of the structure support that lies below. (I know it's hard to describe, but here's a map to help you anyway) Take the final block and return to this place again. B B___F_______PP F: Fan | |P P: Pipe | |P B: Block (should still have one more block in you) Now, wait for the mice to arrive to this place. However, if one of them are nearing the pipe to go down again, block them by covering the entrance to the pip with your remaining block. Re-open it when the mice aren't nearing it to allow the other mice to get in. 2 or 3 mice at a time should be fine (you can get the other mice later). With 2 or 3 mice on the platform pictured above, leave a block front of the pipe to block it. Return downwards and get the block from the L-shape and go up all of the way to the Pop-O-Matic. Wait for the mice to go up and fall down by the Pop-O-Matic. When they are falling, pop the block off the edge to catch it. If it was heading to the right, it will go into the Pop-O-Matic. If not, it will be the next time it comes. Repeat until all mice are in. Return to the door to complete it. Door 3-5 - - - - - - - This room is fairly small, so go around the outside kicking all the magic blocks and killing flying pigs. You'll get point items, health items, and pies. Once all this is done, go inside the structure. There are no blocks to pick up, just a lot of moving blocks to kick. Go to the bottom of the first column of moving blocks and kick ONE moving block. Go through the new hole and to the next column of moving blocks. Kick TWO moving blocks, then break through the weak blocks you just opened. For this last column of moving blocks kick THREE moving blocks. Go and break through the weak blocks to fall to the bottom. Go to the left side of the three moving blocks and kick two moving blocks to the RIGHT. Go back to the top and kick three more moving blocks down to the bottom. Go to the bottom again and kick two of these moving blocks to the LEFT. Go up again and kick down the last two moving blocks. Kick ONE of these moving blocks to the right, then kick the other moving block to the left. The rats will then climb into the trap, so go back to the door. Door 3-6 - - - - - - - Easy. Climb the structures up to the block and pick it up. Go back left to find the break-able block floating in the air. Use the block to kick it, and you will receive some marbles. Go back up to the moving platform and ride it to the left. Break the walls with your marbles. Take the block with you. Continue going left and drop down to base level. Walk a bit to the right to find a hole to a strange maze-like room, where the mice should be at right now. Now, the stage is all set for you. All you have to do: go to the right- most part of this room, just below the upper pipe. Wait for a mouse to come up to that very place and quickly place the block you have on that place. If you timed it right, the mouse will go into the pipe above and leave below, heading for the Pop-O-Matic. Repeat this for all mice. All done! Wait... you still have to find the secret block to unlock 3-7. You see the stairs to the left of the 'maze' where the mice was in? Well, take both blocks and make a alternating extended staircase to make the blocks go higher. When it is high enough, you should be able to jump up to the above air-room with three blocks. The procedure looks like this: B B B B B B_ _ _ _| | => _| | => _| | => and so on... (do it five times) _| | _| | _| | | | | | | | Once a block has reached the fifth layer, take the other block with you and go up. DO NOT break any of the boxes YET! Place a block on a box and jump up to the top. Break the top-most box to unlock Door 3-7. NOW you may break the others. Use the moving platform to the left to get to the right side of the room for the door. Door 3-7 - - - - - - - This one is fairly simple as well. Start by using the basic blocks and build some steps starting on the right magic block. Like so: (M=Magic block, B=Block) | |_ | B| B | B | MM | Now take the fourth block on the left and place it on the small platform on the right side of the wall. Get the two blocks that make up the first two steps and put them all on the right side of the wall. Now use these blocks to create steps that go into the air on the left. Once you have three steps that go to the left, pick up the first block and place it at the left edge to create another step. B B B | |_ | B| | | MM | Keep doing this until you can barely manage to jump onto the steps. Leave the bottom of the three blocks alone, so you'll still be able to jump onto it. Now keep building steps using the two upper blocks. When you reach the space between the thin-lined trim and the fan block, STOP! Leave the space between the fan and thin-lined trim empty because the rats will need to reach that fan in just a minute. Get on the platform with the fan, and I would also kill the flying pig right now. Grab the fan block and fall down to the bottom when you're ready. Place the fan right next to the door on the right. You want to put the fan so it will blow the rats up, then the fan at the top will blow the rats to the right. They will land directly in the trap. Fall to the bottom and get the items in the magic blocks, then leave. Door 3-8 - - - - - - - This level is very long and perhaps very tough... but you're here so you don't have to worry. :) Start off by going to the right and down to slay two snakes that lurks there. Go back up and get on the lone platform to the right. Jump to the THIN post with a spring on the top of it. Now, move a bit to the right so only the heel of Krusty's big shoes are touching the spring. Then, go all of the way to the right without jumping (the spring will provide you enough air) to the next spring. Repeat for the next springs until you get to the end, where four straight pipes and two turn pipes lurks AND a fan. Pick any of those and bring it all of the way to the beginning, by the mice (place it against the LEFT wall to be safe). Do the whole process all over again and again until all 7 items are taken. Now, here's the tough part. You have to put the mice up to the second floor. Here's how (in order): Set the boxes up like this first: | _| U: Straight pipe | _| L: Turn pipe going right and up | U J: Turn pipe going left and up | U F: Fan | U _ M: Mice (should be STUCK here) | U F | |_ |___L___JM| | Get the mice trapped in the position in the picture, and then QUICKLY take the fan away and place it left of the pipe, like this: | _| | F _| | U | U | U _ | U | |_ |___L___J_| | Now the mice will fly to the right and climb up the stairs, toward the second floor. Time to put the mice into the Pop-O-Matic! Here's how: | | _ P _| P U: Straight Pipe _|F P L: Turn pipe going right and up _| J P J: Turn pipe going left and up _| U P F: Fan _| U P M: Mice (should be STUCK here) | U | |_________LU__M_| With that make-up set, take the turn pipe going to the left (J) away and go to the first spring to the right. Use A to jump high, and follow the path to the Pop-O-Matic. Place the turn pipe over the gap to the left of the Pop-O-Matic. Return to the mice and QUICKLY take the straight pipe blocking the mice's path to the entrance of the turn pipe when the mice are the farthest away. Then, put the U on the top of the other U. If you did it fast enough, the mice will be on their way to the Pop-O-Matic! Whoo! (like this) :) | | _ P _| P U: Straight Pipe _|F>>>>>>>P L: Turn pipe going right and up _| U P F: Fan _| U P _| U P | U | |_________L<<<<<_| BUT WAIT! You're not done yet! Skip over the door and go to the THIRD spring from the left. There should be an opening above that spring. Jump twice or more on that spring to make the jump super high. Get on the top passage and kill the flying pig. Break the right box to unlock the path to Door 3-12 and 3-13. Now you're done! Whew! Door 3-9 - - - - - - - This one is another block-kicking door. Start by kicking three moving blocks in the column to the left. Now go around the top, kicking all of the magic blocks along the way. You'll get point items, health items, and pies. Now, kick one of the two remaining moving blocks to the right, then go back around and kick the last moving block to the left. Go to the bottom and kick one moving block to the left, then go around and kick that moving block all the way to the left. Go and kick one more moving block all the way to the left. Leave the last moving block alone. There are two moving blocks left on the upper platform. Kick the left moving block all the way to the left to create some steps for the rats. They will then go up in a pipe that leads to the trap area. Jump up to the top and hop on the moving block to reach a room at the very top. Kick the special magic block to gain access to Door 3-10. Now then, there will be a moving block in that tunnel at the top, and what you need to do is kick it all the way to the left until it falls in the hole. Drop down and kick that same block (which landed on the lower platform), to the right. It should fall in a gap next to the trap. Then, go back up and kick that other block to the right once, then to the left once. It will fall down to the rats' level, and the final step is to kick it to the right one last time. With the steps now complete the rats will climb up and into the trap. Door 3-10 - - - - - - - There are three blocks around this level, including the one RIGHT next to you, but don't touch them yet. Go right and maneuver through several up-and-downs to the last room, with a fan that you can pick up. Get that fan and place it off the top left platform in the same section of the room. The fan should be like this: PPPPPPPPPPP P_________P___ P P| P __| P |_F | | Go back left and put each block you encounter onto the left-side fan instead of the right-side that they are on currently (2 of them). When you reach the block by the door, just remove it. The mice will be on their way to the Pop-O-Matic, assuming you placed the block over the left-side fans to prevent them to going back to the original point. If you want to break the boxes above, just use the blocks to get there. Door 3-11 - - - - - - - Start off by killing the flying pig because it can get really annoying. Now we have to set up a few things. Use the springs to get up through the platforms on the left and right. There are fans that blow the rats up to the top platform, as well as fan blocks. Take each of the fan blocks and go up to the top platform. Use each fan to cover the spots where the rats fly up through, keeping them stuck in their little areas. Now pick up the basic block and go inside one of the areas. Since the rats are now blocked in, they are constantly being blown up, but they then come straight down. You have to wait for the rats to get blown up AND face the pipe on the platforms in the middle. So, stand on the edge of the platforms while holding the basic block. When a rat facing the pipe gets blown up, quickly place the block on the edge so the rat will land and start walking toward the pipe. Pick up the block again and make a step that leads up to the pipe. This pipe will lead to another pipe that will lead to the trap. Repeat this process to finish off the rats. Now let's get the magic blocks on the right. Use the basic block and two fan blocks and stack two of them on top of each other. Place the third one on the right edge. Like so: (B=Block, F=Fan, M=Magic block) | M | - | | B |F |F |- Now take the two bottom blocks and stack them on the one that was on the right edge. Do this to reach all the magic blocks and get point items, a squishee, and pies. We're all done, so go ahead and leave. Door 3-12 - - - - - - - Immediately go to the right and jump on the springs. Go to the middle of the springs (7th from the right, to be exact) and jump thrice (hold down the jump button - A button) to get sky-high. You should land on two invisible platforms. It is in the middle of a small box on the background wall, if you couldn't find it. Once there, jump to the left to find another invisible platforms (may take a few tries). Head for the room to the left, break whatever you want there. Pick the fan up and go back to the first room with the mice. Place the fan on the lower left corner and return to the room in the air and pick the block up. Again, you have to find and seizure invisible platforms. Jump from the room in the air, heading right. A good-sized jump should get you to the first invisible platforms. Directly above those platforms is your next ones. Then, jump to the left for the final platform. Continue heading left to find the Pop-O-Matic and the mice stuck between walls. Place the block on the left side of the hole the mice are in to guide them into the Pop-O-Matic. Go all of the way down to the door. Door 3-13 - - - - - - - Pick up the fan block and get to the top using the moving platform. There are some flying pigs at the top floating near some platforms, so go ahead and kill them to save some frustration. Trapping the rats requires a couple of simple steps. First pick up the fan block that faces to the left. Get up to those high tower-like structures (near the highest flying pig) and jump to the platform on the left. Place it at the left edge of the platform. Now get the right-facing fan and place it at the left edge of the first fan. Finally, get the first fan and move it on top of the right-facing fan. Like this: (LF=Left-facing fan, RF=Right-facing fan) LF RF ----- Use the fan blocks to get to the upper platforms. Ignore the fan block for now and go to the right. Jump to the far right and you'll find another room. There are plenty of magic blocks in here, as well as snakes and a flying pig. Kill the enemies if you like. Kick all of the magic blocks to get point items, health items, and pies. Now let's trap the rats. Go back and get the fan that faces up, and fall down to the bottom. There are two flower pots and a pipe down here. Place the fan next to the flower pot on the right. The rats will then come out of the pipe and get pushed up by the fan. The other fans will take care of the rest. All right, let's get out of here. Door 3-14 - - - - - - - Crap. This is tough. You have to use the springs on single-columns to get across the room to the platform with the box that unlocks Room 4. If you fall, there's some invisible platforms on the left wall for you to climb. You may use your pies/burgers/marbles/whatever to attack the pigs, or just tough it out by trying to jump over them or just take hits and hope you get to the next spring somehow. Once at the end, just break the bottom box to complete the job. The others are just pointless at this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4 World #4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Door locations for World #4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 4-1 | | 4-14 | |___________ _| |_______ 4-7 4-8 4-9 4-10 | | 4-3 4-2 _|_____________| ______________________ __| | __________| _| | 4-13| 4-12| 4-11| _| | |4-4 4-5 4-6 _|____|_____|______|_____|_|____| |____________________________|________________________________| --------------------------------------------------------------- (You can reach Doors 4-8, 4-9, and 4-10 after kicking the special magic block in Door 4-7. Door 4-11 opens after kicking the special magic block in Door 4-9. Door 4-12 opens after kicking the special magic block in Door 4-11, and 4-13 opens after kicking the special magic block in 4-12. 4-14 opens after closing all the other doors.) Enemies in World #4 are: Birds Trap assistant will be: Corporal Punishment and the Squish-O-Matic Door 4-1 - - - - - - - Start by jumping on the spring to the right and kicking the magic block at the top of the room. You'll get some marbles. Fall down and pick up the spring and move it to the left side of the door. Jump up and break through the weak blocks by using your marbles, but try not to use more than three. Break the blocks along the ground so the rats can then climb out. Do you see those jar blocks? Each of those holds one rat, but once the jar has a rat you can use it as a block. Pick up the spring and put it at the right corner below the trap, then use the jars as blocks to build steps. The two rats that aren't in jars will climb up the steps into the trap. Now pick up one of the jars and get over to the right side of the trap using the spring. Drop the jar and kick it to free the rat, then do the same with the other jar. Now then, if you have at least two remaining marbles you can get the extra stuff. Pick up the spring block and use the marbles to bust through the tunnel under the trap. It will lead to a large room full of magic blocks and two birds. Take the spring to the far right and jump up to the platform to get a magic block with 5 more marbles. Use those marbles to kill the birds, then jump up and get the rest of the goodies. As always, get back to the door once you're done. Door 4-2 - - - - - - - First of all, just kill the annoying bird above you. It will drop some shit on you, so that might make a smelly mess, you know what I mean. Then, take the moving platform up and jump to the right to find three strange blocks. Take one of them down to the left corner, and leave it there. Take the next one and leave it there too, and so on until you have all three down there. Now, set the blocks into a staircase like this: P |B | B |__B_____ A mouse will be trapped in each block, while the lone fourth one will go up the pipe and into the Squish-O-Matic. Bring each block with a mouse inside to the platform to the right and jump to the right to find the Squish-O-Matic. Place the block to the right of the machine and kick it. The block will break, freeing the mouse. The mouse will then head for the machine for the kill. Do it for the other blocks. Head for the door to complete it. :) Door 4-3 - - - - - - - Proceed to the right to find a moving block. Kick that block all the way to the right until it falls off the edge, then stand on the weak blocks to break them. This will leave a gap for you to jump in and continue kicking the block until it hits the wall on the right. Ride up on the moving platform and go to the left. Get around to the top and grab the basic block near the trap, and then go to the top of the trap. Stand on the edge of the platform so that you can break the single weak block that is at the top, but DO NOT fall in. Take that basic block and go to the right. If you look at that platform under the trap you'll see a raised block at the end. Like this: (B=Block) _ ________| |__ Place the basic block on top of that raised block, so then the rats that come out of the pipe will be turned to the left. Wait for all the rats to turn left and get trapped in the area on the left, under a pipe. Pick up the basic block when they're set. Now I suggest you go around and kick all the magic blocks, as well as kill the two birds. There are some along the middle platform, some in the top-right corner, and some along the small platforms at the top. There will be plenty of pies in there, which means killing the birds should be a breeze. Trapping the rats requires setting up quite a few things. First take the basic block and put it in the gap between the platforms above the trap, then gather all three vertical pipes and the curved pipe and bring them to the left. Place the curved pipe on the right side of the platform above the fan, and stack the vertical pipes on top of the curved pipe. And finally, pick up the fan and put it directly under the long pipe on the left (the one hanging over the rats). It should all look like this: (B=Block, F=Fan, P=Pipe, CP=Curved pipe) P P ______ _ _ P P B _| P P _| P P | P _CV | __ | |__ __F______| |__ If it's as I have it above, the rats will fly up the pipe, land next to the curved pipe, travel up the vertical pipes, and the basic block will keep them from wandering to the left. You might as well head back to the door because the rats are all toast. Door 4-4 - - - - - - - Go the left and up the wall to find a holder stacked on another one. Take the top off and lay it on the ground to allow a mouse to get into it. When you have all four holders filled up with mice, bring two of them to the right side of the right wall, under the Squish-O-Matic. Use those two to make a path to the Squish-O-Matic and take the other two there, BUT DO NOT BREAK THEM! Instead, use those two to make an alternating staircase to reach the platform right above the machine. Reach the block and the box on the platform and break the box for some marbles and the pick up the block. If you want some items, use a block and a holder to construct a path to the upper left passage, where a wall blocks you. Use a marble or two to break through to discover some items. Anyway, put the block on the second layer of the lower pit to allow you to pick the holders up. Like this: | | B| _____H_| Pick the holder up and put it by the Squish-O-Matic and kick it towards the machine. Do it for all holders to complete the objective. Head for the door after all of this, of course. Door 4-5 - - - - - - - Go to the right and kick the moving block, then go into the large room on the far right. The room with the trap and rats. This area is drenched in water drops, so avoid them as best as possible. Go up to the upper left platforms and you'll see three moving blocks. Kick a moving block to the right, then kick it to the right again to have it fall down to the ground. Fall to the bottom and kick the moving block all the way to the right. Now go back up to the top-left platforms and kick the other two blocks down to the right so that all three of them are lined up on the ground near the trap. Now go up to the moving blocks on the top-right platform. Kick the two moving blocks to the left one at a time so that they land on the platform in the middle. Then, kick them down to the right one a time, then go down and kick the bottom moving block once more. See the steps forming? Go to the top and kick the last moving block to the left to complete the steps and get the rats trapped. Go back near the entrance and fall in the hole to kick the magic block for a burger, then jump up to the tunnel above the door. Kick all of those magic blocks starting with the top one to get point items, a squishee, and pies. Go to the door to exit. Door 4-6 - - - - - - - Go left and down to find a block. Pick it up and kill the bird to the right, if you have any weapons on you right now. Anyway, go down to the tunnel with a bird going through it. Wait until the bird is at the left wall and jump over it and go through the tunnel. You will see some breakable blocks around here. Stand on them to break all of them. Then, go up to find another mouse and some more weak blocks. Break them as well. Continue going up, with the help of your block and break the next two set of weak blocks. All four mice should be going to the base floor if you broke all of the weak blocks. There are four blocks that you have seen around here. Take THREE of them to the left end of the tunnel where a bird flies through. Place all of those like this: | B______| | B |____B_____ You're done with that part for now. Place a block under the first step of the underground room where the mice are, like this: _________ ____ _| |_____ _______B______| When all of the mice are on the upper platform, quickly take the block away and place it on the first step, like this: _________ ____ B| |_____ ______________| The mice will go to the left side of the tunnel now. Take the lone block in the previous room to the tunnel now. Put the block off the left edge of the top block you placed, like this: |_____ | B | B_______| M: Mice should be trapped here | B |_M__B_____ Remove the right-most block and put it to the right side, out of the way. Then, put the left-most block on the right edge of the bottom block: P______ | B | _______B| | B |____B_____ The mice will now climb to the second platform. Quickly take a block other than the top one and put it off the left edge of the second platform to complete a staircase to the pipe. When the mice have entered through the pipe, take a block and QUICKLY go up to the right side, by the Squish-O- Matic and place it on the lone bump on the surface to prevent the mice from going over it. The mice will be on their way to the Squish-O-Matic! Congrats and return to the door! Door 4-7 - - - - - - - Start by picking up the jar block, then jump up to rat platform above. Place the jar block on the raised blocks on the right side and jump up onto the moving platform. From there enter the tunnel on the left. Ride the moving platform down about halfway to find a special magic block. Kick it to enter the SECRET AREA! As you should know by now, secret areas are often the only way to unlock certain doors in the worlds, and this one is no different. You absolutely have to beat this secret area to gain access to Door 4-8. Quickly go left and stand on the weak blocks to reach the lower area. Kick that magic block, then keeping making your way down and kick every magic block along the way. When you reach the spring at the bottom use it to get back up to the next platform and break through the weak blocks on the right. Break through the next bunch of weak blocks on the right to get another magic block, then get down to the bottom to find the spring. Keep kicking magic blocks until you've bounced all the way to the block at the top for an extra life. You will then appear next to a couple of magic blocks, so kick them all to get items and open up Door 4-8. You can go back to that tunnel on the left if you want some more Hop up the spring to get back to the top, then get up to the rats. Jump up and get the fan from the top-right corner, then jump back down to the door level. There are several gaps on the ground, and you have to put down the fan in the second gap from the left. This gap lines up with the center of the rat platform. Now go up and move the jar to the right edge of the platform above the rats. Go down and pick up the left basic block. Take it and place it on the edge of the jar to create a step, then take one more basic block and finish the steps up to the trap. Do you see how the rats keep falling in the first gap on the door level? Use the last basic block and cover that gap, and the rats will walk into the fan and get blown up. After all the rats have climbed up, pick up the jar with the rat and kick it next to the trap to get the last rat in there. Well, that's it. Let's get out of here. Door 4-8 - - - - - - - Kill the bastard bird above immediately (some weapons in the boxes to the left). YOU HAVE TO DO THE ACTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH QUICKLY. First, take a block from the right and place it off the edge of the same platform. That will prevent the mice from getting stuck between the fans along the walls. Now, do this fast: take the OTHER block and go down to the floor and place it on the second from the right fan. Wait ON the block... when the mice has passed that block, take it again and place it over the NEXT fan, to the left. This concludes the hard part. Take a block and climb the platforms all of the way to the top, where the Squish-O-Matic is. To the right of the machine, there is a gap between the stairs. Place the block in that gap, forming a full staircase. Take the other block and get on the TOP-MOST platform. The mice should be rattling between the fans in the opposing sides like a pinball. Stand on the middle of the platform and wait for the mice to go LEFT of you and place the block. The block will stop the mice... the mice will go over the block instead of going the other way. The mice will be their way to their death. Head for the door. Door 4-9 - - - - - - - Start by going to the left and falling down into the lower room. Kick the magic blocks on the bottom-left corner and pick up the fan block, and also try to kill the bird flying around near the springs. Now jump onto the first spring. DO NOT hold the jump button. Just jump on it then jump to the next three by holding Right. Once you get to a spring with a high ceiling, hold the jump button. You can also reach the final spring on the right by jumping on the invisible platforms in that black wall. Just jump up from the right side to find them, then jump to the right to reach the spring. Go over the wall and fall to the right, but aim for the same distance as the last spring. From here jump up to the platforms and drop off the fan block somewhere on top, near the trap. Return to the door where all the rats should now be trapped in jars. Take the jars and drop them off on top where you left the fan, then pick up the basic block in the bottom-right corner and take it up to the top as well. Before trapping the rats you should kick the three magic blocks next to the trap, starting with the top one. You'll get a health item, point item, and a VERY IMPORTANT block. It will open access to Door 4-11. Once everything is over there, take the blocks to the right side of the pit near the trap. You'll need everything on the right ledge, and it should be set up according to this diagram: (B=Block, F=Fan) F B__________ | | | | The fan is now lined up with the hole next to the trap. Kick all the jars on the right side to send the rats walking to the left. They'll all be blown straight into the trap. DO NOT fall into the big hole that is to the left of the fan and block. You will get stuck. That'll do it, so get back to the door to exit. Door 4-10 - - - - - - - ATTNETION! GO TO THE LEFT AND PICK THE FAN RIGHT AWAY! If you don't do this and allow at least ONE mouse go up, you're finished. You have to lose a life and re-do the level. After picking the fan up, go right and up to get on the second floor. On the left side, there's four holders waiting for you. Take them one at a time and go down to the mice and fill it up and leave it on the second floor, not the base floor. After filling the holders with mice, leave a holder on the right side of the pipe (second floor) just left of the Squish-O-Matic. Not off the edge, but ON the pipe. Take the fan and put it off the edge of that holder. Overall, it should look like this: ________ | | | | SOM: Squish-O-Matic ____SOM___| P: Pipe F F: Fan H H: Holder PPPPPPPPPPPPP____ P P Now, place any of the holders on the tiny platform left of the Squish-O- Matic (right of the fan). Get on the fan and kick the holder to make the mouse go into the iron maiden. Do it for all four. Ta-da! Note: If you want a life bonus, take the marbles on the base level and use it to break the weak blocks above the Squish-O-Matic (stand one block away from the right wall to make the marble bounce up to the weak blocks). Beyond those weak blocks lies three boxes, including the one with the coveted life bonus. Door 4-11 - - - - - - - Trapping the rats is a bit complicated, so let's get all of the extras first. Jump up all the way to the top-left corner of the room. Kick the magic block to get some marbles. Walk to the left and you'll notice some rows of weak blocks in the wall. Break the blocks using the marbles to open a tunnel. Watch out for all the drops and kick the magic blocks starting with the top one. You'll gain plenty of items and access to Door 4-12. Now it's time to trap the rats. Enter the area on the right and use the two jars to trap the rats at the bottom, then drop off the jars on the platform above the trap. DO NOT kick them yet, just drop them off. Now take all the pipes and jars that are here and drop them somewhere on the trap platform. Set everything up according to this picture: (P=Pipe, J=Jar) P __Trap_ P J P P _______ P | | |_| Door | So the rats will travel up the pipe and end up right there next to the trap platform, but they are blocked in so the rats will just go back down the pipe. Make sure you have the jar block in place, or the rats will get trapped and you'll have to start over. What you have to do now is grab the other jar and stand on top of the pipe. The second a rat pops up, drop the jar. If you timed it right the rat will get pushed up and walk straight into the trap. Repeat this for the other rat that comes up the pipe. After that is done, set the two jars on the left side of the trap. Kick the jars on the left side to make the rats walk into the trap. All done, let's get out of here. Door 4-12 - - - - - - - Not too tough. On the platform with the door, jump to the right, into the black background. If you jumped high enough, you should have landed onto an invisible platform. Jump straight up to get to a higher one. Have a BIG jump to the left (mind the bird), onto the tip of the darkness. Jump once again, straight up. You should be on the top-most point of the room now. Run to the right and fall into the next room. Break the boxes for a secret switch to Room 4-13. Pick the holder up and jump on the black background to the left to climb up the invisible platforms. Back to the original room... Place the holder under the Squish-O-Matic, the only obvious position. That will suck in one mouse, but will make the other three into the Squish-O-Matic. Take the holder with you and return to the invisible platform BELOW the top- most one. I repeat, BELOW! Walk to the left and stop when the black back- ground runs out. Then, jump off to the left and hit the wall. You should end up on yet another platform that you can't see. Leave the holder here and kick it. The mouse will fall down to Mr. Death. Door 4-13 - - - - - - - Start by using the moving platforms to get to the top and go into the tunnel. Kick the magic blocks at the top to get a couple of the usual items. That's it for the extras, so go down to the main room. This is basically a maze of fans, but you just have to know where to put the blocks. Go down to the bottom-left and pick up a basic block, then cover the fan that is on the immediate left of the door. The rats will then walk over to the left and into another fan. This will put all of the rats into a loop in the middle of the room. Now pick up the block at the bottom-right and place it on the left edge of the trap platform. (B=Block) ______ B__Trap_ Grab the other basic block and stand on the top platform. If you put down the block it will cause the rats to start walking to the left. After enough rats have been stopped, quickly pick up the block and and put it on top of the other block. The rats will walk straight into the trap. Keep repeating the process until all the rats have been trapped. If some rats fall out of the loop, just use the blocks to get them back in. Well, that's it for this door. One more to go. Door 4-14 - - - - - - - Easier than the final stage of Room 3.... Destroy the birds as you come across them, if you wish. Just letting you know. You will find your first pick-able springs here. Take the spring to the right and place it on the left end of the platform where the door is on. Jump up to the next floor to break some boxes for items. Use the spring again to jump up higher to find another spring and some boxes. Use the second spring to jump up to the final part of the level. Break the top-most boxes for a life bonus and, of course, the switch to room 5! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.5 World #5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Door locations for World #5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | || | | 5-1 | | 5-5 | 5-9 || | |_______ | |_______ _ |______ || 5-10 5-11 | | _| | 5-3 |_|_ 5-6 ||_ ________ | | _|_| ____ |_|_ ____ _||_ | | | _|_| _| |_ |_| | | ||_ |5-12 || |5-2 _|_| _| |_ | | _||_ |___ | | |__ |_| _| _______| | ____| 5-14 ||_ | | |__| | |_ | | 5-4 | | 5-7 _____|| | | | | |__| |__________| |_____ 5-8 | |5-13| | |____________| |___| ---------------------------------------------------------------- (Door 5-10 will appear after kicking the special magic block in Door 5-8. Door 5-11 can only be accessed after kicking the special block in Door 5-10, and Doors 5-12 and 5-13 will open once the special block in Door 5-11 is kicked. Door 5-14 will open once you have closed all other doors.) Enemies in World #5 are: Snakes, aliens, flying pigs, birds Trap assistant will be: Bart and the Slice-O-Matic Door 5-1 - - - - - - - Start by grabbing the fan block on the left. Run to the right and place the fan block on the lower branch of the second tree, so that the rats will get blown up, then get blown to the left by the other fan. Now go to the left again and grab one of the basic blocks. Walk to the right until you reach the hole in the ground. You have to place the basic block one space from the left side of the hole. Here's a nice little diagram to better illustrate: (B=Block, T=Tree) T T ____B_ __T |_| Now go to the left and kick the moving block to the right until it hits the basic block. This is the first step. Pick up the basic block and place it at the right edge of the moving block to create the next step, then pick up the final block near the door and use it to create the last step. (M=Moving block, B=Block, T=Tree) B T B T ____M_ __T |_| Now just make sure the rats are on the left side of the steps and they will climb to their doom. There are also a couple of extras in here. Jump to the trap platform and jump up to find an invisible platform. Keep jumping up (avoid the pigs), and you'll find some magic blocks at the top. Start with the top ones to get point items, pies, health items, and an extra life. That was simple, let's move on. Door 5-2 - - - - - - - There are three blocks for your taking to the left, and a bird to the right. Destroy the bird and take two blocks to the boxes on the lower right path and kick all of them apart. Now, use two of the blocks to block the first two fans from the left. Now, take the third one and go up to the top, where the mice are. Put the block on the left side of the mice's pit, to allow them to get down. When all of the mice are out, take the block and go back down. Put the block on the third fan from the left. You guessed it - keep the mice away from the fans and pipes will clogging them with those three blocks. When all four mice has crossed a block, take that and move it to the next obstacle. If you clogged all of the fans and pipe without allowing any of the mice get blown away, the mice will be in their destination. Door 5-3 - - - - - - - Go to the left and jump to the other roof on the left. Kick the magic blocks to get more pies and a squishee, and you might as well kill the bird. Now get the jars and start building steps from the roof of the trap room. Start on the right edge as always, and once you have four jars you'll need to go back down and pick up the lowest jar. Repeat the jar stacking until you can reach the area on the top-right. Kill the alien once you get up there. Kick the magic block on the right to enter a secret area on the right. Kick all the magic blocks in this room to score an extra life at the end. You'll then appear next to a few other magic blocks containing pies and health items. After that's finished, it's time to trap the rats. Get the jars and trap all of the rats inside them. Now take the jars and go into the little room on the far left. Stack some jars to kick the magic blocks and get a squishee and a point item. Now take the jars one at a time and stand on the fan in the little room. Place the jar on the left edge of the fan, then kick it to release the rat and have it blown into the pipe. Make sure there is nothing blocking the pipe. The rats will all go into the trap room you can leave. Door 5-4 - - - - - - - Alright, as you can see, there are four blocks right there. Take the first one and go ALL of the way to the right, into the spring area and out. Stop once you see Bart and his machine. Lay the block over the pit OR to the left of a small wall. You have to go back and take another block and return here to place it in the other place. When finished, it should look like this: | _______B|B ______SOM B: Block |________| |___________ SOM: Slice-O-Matic Now return to the original point and the blocks... Take one off and go up to the north-west corner, and place the block there. The mice will be on their way to that place now. Go back for the last one and return to the NW corner. Construct a staircase with your two blocks, to allow the mice over the wall. Once the mice are over, quickly take one of the blocks to the platform just below the door and put it against the next platform. Go back and get the other block. Place that on the next platform, also against the one AFTER that. _________ ________B ________B Then, grab the first one once the mice goes over it to the next platform and place it on the END of the platform, not the edge. Again, take the other one once the mice are over it and place it off the EDGE of the first block. Like this: ______________ B _________B. Quickly take one of the blocks away as the mice are over them and move to the gap between the platform and the pipe up ahead. Of course, put the block on that gap to allow the mice to the pipe. If you followed my directions and put the FIRST two in their positions by the Slice-O-Matic when this level began, the mice will be seeing angels. *NOTE! Want a bonus life??? Look on the right wall of the spring area, you should see a slight difference of the texture of the wall. That's the secret passage. Jump into and follow the mystery path to the blocks. One of those blocks has a 1-Up. Door 5-5 - - - - - - - Start off by going to the far left and killing that bird. Kick those two magic blocks to get pies and a horn. Now go to the right and climb up the tree near the entrance to find the trap and a bunch of magic blocks. Kick them all to get point and health items. Pick up the basic block on the ground, then go down the tunnel next to it. You'll find the rats in a room on the right. Pick up the three blocks to release the rats, then use the three blocks to build steps that go up to the tunnel on the left. Now, pick up a block and quickly run to the left. Put the block down on the third space from the left wall, then put another block on the left edge of the first block. (B=Block) | ___ | | B |__B______ The rats will walk in and get trapped. Now take the other two blocks and build some steps that go to the next platform on the right. | | ___ | B B |__B_B____ Grab a block from mini trap and put in on the platform, on the third space from the right. Grab the other block and put it down on the right edge of the block to build another one of those traps. |____ | | B | | _B__| | B |____B_____ Use the other two blocks to build steps up to the left platform, then build another trap to enclose the rats again. Repeat this until the rats reach the platform at the top, then use two blocks to keep the rats on the left platform. Now, to get the rats up to the grass requires some speed and quick reflexes. Get the two blocks that make up the trap and set them up like this: |______| | | B| | B | | ____| | B | |____B | The absolute SECOND that the rats pass over the first step block, pick it up and put it at the bottom of the steps that go up to the grass. If any rats fall then you'll have to go through all the platforms again, so don't mess up! Once the rats get up to the grass, take two blocks and trap them on the grass. Pick up the other two blocks and go to the right, over that metal barrier. Cover the pipe in the ground with one block, then put the other block in front of the pipe on the right. Now go back and wait for the rats to walk to the right, then take one of the blocks from the left and put it next to the metal barrier. The rats will climb over the metal barrier and make their way to the right. Pick up a block again and rush over to the right, and put down the block next to the other block that you had on the right to create steps. The rats will climb up the steps and get blown across several fans until they get stuck between two fans at the top. Take two blocks to the top of the tree and put them as if you were building steps to the platform over the trap. Wait for the rats to be on the LEFT side before putting the second block. Once you put that second block the rats will stop and walk over the platform and into the trap. After all this you can finally leave. Door 5-6 - - - - - - - Kill the snake on the bottom if you wish. Take the basic block on the top of a pipe and enter the big room in the middle, with the rats. Create a two- step staircase one space away from a wall (left or right) to group the rats so they won't be too far apart. Take a block other than the ones you used as the group trap (leave them there) and place it off the left edge of the first pyramid (bottom). Take one more (there is one on the right platform above the pyramids) and place it off the right edge of the topmost pyramid. Now, quickly take one of the blocks from the trap and place it off the left edge of the left pyramid. Go back for the last block and place it on the top of that block. Overall, it would look like this: ____________ _B _| |_ _| | _| B |_________ B_ _| |_ _| |_ |_ ___________| B_ _| |_ _| |_ _| |_ |_____________| As the mice goes over the first (bottom) block, take it and wait for the mice to hit the left blocks and place the block off the right edge of the left pyramid. ____________ _B _| |_ _| | M: Mice _| B |_________ BMB _| |_ _| |_ |_ ___________| That should get the mice up the top pyramid. They will cross the top block, toward the right platform. Get a block and get on the right platform (watch out for the snake if you haven't killed him) and jump off the other end. Place the block on the pipe to the left of the Slice-O-Matic. That will clog the pipe from the mice. Say bye-bye, mousey. Door 5-7 - - - - - - - Go to the left and break through the three weak blocks, then kick the magic blocks starting with the top ones to get point and health items. Pick up the jar on the left. Go back to the top, near the moving blocks. There are four moving blocks, numbered 1 through 4 starting from the top. Put the jar on the left edge of moving block 2. (J=Jar) J 1 2 3 __4 Now go and kick moving block 1 to the left. Pick up the jar again and put it on the left edge of moving block 4. 1 2 J 3 __4 Go and kick moving block 2 to the left, then kick moving block 1 to the left twice. J23 _1_4 So moving block 1 is now free. Pick up the jar, then kick this moving block to the left and it will fall over the edge. Put the jar next to the trap platform on the left so it sits next to the wall. | | |J_________ Kick the moving block to the left and it will stop at the jar. Now use the jar to cover that pipe in the ground and get the rats to the left. After they have all passed over the pipe, pick up the jar and complete the steps up to the trap. Once all the rats have been destroyed, take the jar and put it on the trap platform. Kick it from the right side to release the rat and finally complete this door. This one was easier than the last few doors, so let's move on. Door 5-8 - - - - - - - Ignore everything and go to the lower right corner to find some boxes set in a row. Break all of them to reveal some marbles for your usage. Now, use the moving platform to get to the first platform to the right. Take the block (not the fan) and put it front of the pipe, to the southwest of you. Take the next block (on the second platform this time) and ride the moving platform all of the way to the top and jump off to the left. Place the block above the pipe coming from underneath. It should block two pipes, one below, one to the left. Now go back down and grab the fan facing left (second platform). Follow the platforms against the wall up until you reach the THIRD from the last platform. Place the fan on the left end, not off the edge, of the platform. Get the last item: the fan that faces upward. Go to the room left of the room with all of that boxes you found. There should be some mice there. Put the fan on the piece of ground second from the left side. That should lead the mice up to the pipe that takes them to the next room. If you placed it in an incorrect position, the mice would come back, so you'll know. Take the fan that faces up again and go to the next room to the right. Get on any platform on the right and drop off the edge without going too far. That should get you the exact spot where you need to put your fan. Place the fan there (fifth spot from the right) and the mice will go up to the next fan, and finally to the left. To give you an idea: _________________________________ ______| | P ____| P<< | PB^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
