This FAQ covers almost everything you need for that classic game, and I hope you'll find it useful in a thing or two. This is the first Alex Kidd FAQ. I have also written another one for Alex Kidd: High Tech World, so check it out if you're into the series. I don't really think I'd be writing another one though. By the way, I'm still accepting whatever addition/tip/high score you have for this game, even if the file has been updated too many times. Just send it right away before I change my mind and release the "Final" version. If you would like to contact me for comments, questions, tips, corrections, additions, etc., then go to my site and post your message on the boards there. If you want to contact me via email, then send to . Have some cool time playing Sega Master System! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01.02 Update History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the famous section which shows what've been updated throughout the different versions of this FAQ... ---------------------------------------- O Version 1.0 | 8/09/2003 | 65.5 KB ---------------------------------------- This is the very first edition of the FAQ. ---------------------------------------- O Version 2.0 | 9/10/2003 | 66.4 KB ---------------------------------------- Added Thomas' tips. Changes in a few things, including my email. ---------------------------------------- O Version 3.0 | 9/11/2003 | 69.5 KB ---------------------------------------- Added the Score Board section again with Gemma's high score. ---------------------------------------- O Version 3.5 | 9/19/2003 | 70.5 KB ---------------------------------------- Well, I added a Pro Action Replay code I found at Video Game Strategies . Check it out! ---------------------------------------- O Version 4.0 | 9/25/2003 | 74.6 KB ---------------------------------------- Hmmm... Another version. It's the fifth. Mainly, I input some tips and things from the readers in. Thanks Thomas Schulze and Lucas Freire. Also, corrected some things. In addition, I wrote a paragraph on how to apply the PAR code in emulators. By the way, this FAQ is my second largest. :) ---------------------------------------- O Version 5.0 | 10/8/2003 | 76.0 KB ---------------------------------------- More updates. Added some tips in. Also, updated the Score Board section. I added some other things. ---------------------------------------- O Version 5.5 | 1/18/2004 | 77.6 KB ---------------------------------------- Back to writing FAQs after a long break. I updated this FAQ with a new high score. Also, added some more PAR codes. A lot of updates here and there. Made a section called "The Ghosts," finally. :) ---------------------------------------- O Version 6.0 | 3/24/2004 | 79.0 KB ---------------------------------------- Updated the file with two more records, and... oh my god, my high score got out of the Score Board! Also, added a walkthrough for the secret place I didn't made one for. That means, the walkthrough is now 100% complete. ---------------------------------------- O Version 6.5 | 6/17/2004 | 80.0 KB ---------------------------------------- Updated the file with a small addition from Jonas Sprehn. It's about another thing which I've been missing. ---------------------------------------- O Version 6.6 | 7/02/2004 | 81.2 KB ---------------------------------------- Updated the Score Board with a score from Blitz. Unfortunately, Paul's got out of the top 5... Anyways, don't expect any addition apart from readers' tips, high scores, or slight additions or corrections in the next update(s). I'm just satisfied with this FAQ. ---------------------------------------- O Version 7.0 | 9/24/2004 | 86.6 KB ---------------------------------------- Oh yeah. It's been more than a year since I sent this FAQ to GameFAQs.com. Massive thanks go out to Aidan McDonald for his generous efforts in correcting and adding stuff to the FAQ. I really thank you a lot! Apart from that, I updated the Score Board, where Enigma_Nova engraved his name in the list. Unfortunately, one of the high scores got out. And so, this FAQ became my hugest one in terms of size, and my most favourite! =============================================================================== 02 Basics =============================================================================== OK. In case somebody needs help in understanding how to play this game, I made this section. Read it before you begin, because you may not know everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.01 Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Know that this section is taken from the Alex Kidd in Miracle World instruction manual. Even though there are some changes made by me. To move right or left...................................press Right or Left To squat.........................................................press Down To jump.............................................................press 1 To punch or throw capsules..........................................press 2 To jump destroying the blocks above............press 1 and 2 simultaneously To slip between blocks................press Down while moving Left or Right ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are at least two different versions of the game. They only differ in terms of controls: One version has the controls you described, the other uses button 2 to jump and button 1 to punch. Submitted by Thomas Schulze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slide In order to slide under a block, you must have a running start. Just before you reach the block, you must stop pushing the D-button right or left, and hold down instead; you cannot be pushing two directions at once. Turbo Swim When in the water, hold down button 1 while you swim to the right or left. This will enable you to swim faster. From Sega Notebook. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.02 Things You Might Get/Break ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is also taken from the manual. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 02.02.01 The Stone Blocks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Miracle World is built from millions of rocklike blocks. Hence the importance of an art like Shellcore. You must use Alex's Shellcore skills to destroy the blocks and move through them. But be warned. All blocks are not breakable. Note: In each location, the blocks that can't be destroyed are in different colours. To find which one can't be destroyed, press 2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 02.02.02 The Treasures ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are five treasures that you will find at various points along the way. These treasures will help bring peace to Radaxian and their roles will be revealed as the game progresses. The treasures are: O The Sun Stone Medallion This is a circle with a moon picture on it. O The Moonlight Stone Medallion This is a circle with a sun picture on it. O The Gold Crown It has magical powers but can't be obtained without the Sun Stone and Moonstone medallions. This looks as a royal crown. O The Hirotta Stone It holds the key to the mysteries surrounding the crown. It is a square with some drawings like moon, star, etc. O Personal Letter to the Kingdom of Nibana Without this letter, certain items can't be obtained. A paper which things have been written on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 02.02.03 The Boxes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Alex travels through the Miracle World he will discover several strange boxes. Each box has different contents and different powers. Some are beneficial. Others are quite dangerous. Here are the contents of each of those boxes: O The Bags of Gold Coins The big bag contains $20. The small one has $10. The box which has a star on it hides this bag. O The Powerful Bracelet Use it to perform the "The Shocking Waves of Destruction" trick. See "The Shop" section. This looks as a ring. O Alex Kidd Get an extra life. This is a small Alex Kidd. O The Ghost He'll try to possess you. So get away from him. A ghost which is very hard to avoid. Please see the "The Ghosts" section. O The Box of a Skull It'll make Alex get the jitters. O The Box in Pink Inside lies an important secret. O The Skull's Box in Pink Just jump over this one. Or a ghost will come out and get you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Destroyable Boxes It is not possible to have more than two bags of gold on the screen at the same time if they come from destroyable boxes. If a third box is destroyed, the bag of gold uncovered first will disappear. Note that this also applies to bracelets, extra lives and ghosts. The ghost will disappear only if it has not yet started moving. If you uncover a ghost, you must act quickly to get it to disappear. From Sega Notebook. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 02.02.04 The Telepathy Ball ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This miraculous ball lets you know what other people are thinking. It is very valuable to you. Especially when you're playing the scissors/paper/stone game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.03 The Shop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whenever you see the shop, don't miss the opportunity to purchase a few items. The shop contains many useful things you can buy with the money you collected from the Bag of Gold Coins box. Here's how to enter the shop: Using the arrows, move Alex directly in front of the entrance to the shop. How to buy an item in the shop: By pressing 1, jump up and touch the item you want. What you can buy in those shops: O Teleport Powder Price: $100 This magic powder makes you invisible to the enemy. So you can maneuver right through them. But remember: Its magic only lasts a short time. O The Power Bracelet Price: $100 Use this bracelet to create "The Shocking Waves of Destruction," a powerful ancient trick in the art of Shellcore. NOTE: The bracelet will disappear when you lose a life or when you enter a new location. Also, the bracelet can't be used in the water. O Alex Kidd Price: $500 You can actually buy yourself another life. O The Cane of Flight Price: $120 This cane gives you so much psychic power that you can actually fly for a limited amount of time. O The Magic Capsule A Price: $100 When you need help badly, throw this capsule and eight of your friends will magically appear. O The Magic Capsule B Price: $120 Throw this capsule, and a barrier will surround you to protect you from enemies. O Sukopako Motorcycle Price: $200 Not only is it fast. It can also break rocks. But it can't go in water. And it can't go in reverse. To accelerate the motorcycle press Right. To slow down press Left. To jump press 1. O Peticopter Price: $200 It's like a helicopter that's equipped with a missile. To pilot the helicopter use the arrows. To accelerate press 1. To fire a missile press 2. NOTE: All the items purchased in the shop cannot be used in water. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Teleport Powder is the only item that works underwater, it can be used to get to the secret area at Lake Fathom easily. - I found out that it is also possible to use the Cane of Flight underwater. But at the most times this is very pointless, as Alex can not attack while flying. - Different items cancel each other, for instance if Alex has the Power Bracelet equipped and uses the Teleport Powder so the Power Bracelet will disappear. Submitted by Thomas Schulze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.04 The Suisui Boat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you get to the river, you'll see a special speedboat you can used to cross the water. To accelerate the speedboat.........................................press Right To slow down the speedboat...........................................press Left To fire the speedboat...................................................press 2 NOTE: In this river location, the blocks you can't destroy are coloured red. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.05 Inventory Screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is taken from the manual... Because there are so many locations in the Miracle World and so many things that you will either pick up or buy, you'll need a way to keep track of it all. That's why you have access to a subscreen that gives all this information in a flash. To bring up the subscreen, press the Pause button. What you'll find: - The amount of money you have. - A map designating your location. - A list of all your possessions. - The number of lives you have left. - Your current score. To select an item from the subscreen: Point the white arrow to the item using the arrows and press the button. Then, to return to the location screen with your selected item, press the Pause button. NOTE: You can't access the subscreen when you are in the shop or when you are playing a game of scissors/paper/stone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.06 The Ghosts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I'm sorry because I've discovered this too late, but I should now write a section for it. As you know, some boxes contain ghosts. If you are following the "Walkthough" chapter below, I warn you everytime there's a ghost inside the boxes. At these places, you have the option to avoid the boxes as I did, or to destroy them and ESCAPE! So why? If you successfully escape from the ghosts after revealing them, you'll figure out some items and extra lives when you progress more in the next or same levels. For more information about the ghosts and what you get if you escape from them, see the readers' tips in the "Walkthrough" chapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02.07 Tips From the Manual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Timing is everything when jumping and punching. 2. Grab as many bags of coins as you can. That way you'll be able to buy lots of helpful items at the shop. 3. Be sure to eat the rice ball at the end of each location. It'll give you energy. And it's worth 1,000 points. 4. Don't try to attack the Flame. It's invincible. Just avoid it all costs. =============================================================================== 03 Walkthrough =============================================================================== OK. For every stage that wasn't mentioned in the manual, I made their names "Stage (+ its number)". Also, I didn't use the official names for items, enemies, treasures, etc. You can see them from the "Basics" chapter (scroll up for it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.00 Story ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.00.01 From the Instruction Manual ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many centuries ago, on the planet Aries, there lived a boy named Alex Kidd. For seven years he lived on Mt. Eternal studying Shellcore, an ancient art that makes one strong enough to break rocks into pieces. One day, as he was leaving the mountain for his spiritual homeland, he encountered a dying man who told him that the peaceful city of Radaxian was in grave danger. Before taking his last breath, the man gave Alex a piece of a map and a medallion made of Sun Stone. What does it all mean? The only way to find out is to journey through the Miracle World looking for the answers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.00.02 From Yours Truly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The prince of Radaxian, Alex, has been kidnapped by some evil men since he was a little boy. After that, his home misgoverned by a tyrant called Janken the Great. Alex's brother was also imprisoned in the Radaxian Castle. And the only one who can save him is, of course, Alex, our hero. Your job here, as Alex, is to save your home and the population from that tyrant and to free your brother from the prison. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.01 Mt. Eternal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.01.01 Part One ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you begin, jump to the right and get the star box which contains some money. Jump down, then jump left and get the two boxes (they also contain money), then jump right. Break the rock and get the box with a question mark. You'll get a ring. Pause the game, use it, and you'll have better punches. Now go down. Jump right and kill the falcon. Get both boxes and break the rock in the middle then jump down. Get the money and kill the flying falcon. Go right. Then, get the money from the box. Now go left and down. Here, break the rocks on the left and get the credits from the box. Break the bunch of rocks below and go down carefully without being touched by the falcon. Get all the money after that. Now go right to the boxes with the star AND NOT TO THE QUESTION MARK. I gotta thank some readers for informing me of the secret behind these boxes... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Part One, you should break the question-marked box and run away from the ghost. Why? Because when you get to Part Two and break the question-marked box over there, it will contain an extra life. Submitted by Lucas Freire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First ignore the treasure chest. Clear your way ahead by destroying all enemies and blocks. Open the block with the question mark. The ghost won't move for a few seconds. There is more than enough time to escape. The next block with the question mark will always contain an extra life. And the next will contain a Power Bracelet. Then it will have a ghost. And then an extra life... Submitted by Thomas Schulze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like all the other items, the ghost will disappear after you punch two more item boxes. So, for this particular one, you need to take out the bird to the left of the question-marked box first, then punch the box to free the ghost. Quickly, run left where there are two yellow star-boxes on top of each other and punch both of them -- the ghost will disappear. Note: this doesn't work for ghosts who come from the pink skull-squares. Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unfortunately, I knew this too late. The walkthrough now has some mistakes... I'll try to correct them. Again, the thanks fly out to those readers who've been telling me about this. Take the money, then kill the falcon. Go left and jump down. Break the rocks and get the money. Jump right. Get the money from the left, but don't fall. Break the rocks to the right, and jump down. Kill the falcon. Now go right BUT DON'T STEP ON THE PURPLE SQUARE! It will summon that guy who WILL kill you whatever you do. Anyway, go left whatever way you want without touching that square and get the money above then jump down. Kill the falcon here, and get the money from the box to the left. Then, jump right and get the money from the boxes. Now jump down on the money, and kill the falcon. Get the money from the three boxes to the right and from a box to the left (you may need to run and jump for this one). Now go down. Go down and kill the falcon, then get the money from the left box and then right one. From there, jump right to the below box to the right of the last one. Then go left and get both money. Go right and get the box. Go left then down exactly on the two bags of money. Jump on the middle land to the right, then run and press Down. Alex will be crouching now, so press Right several times until you reach the right side. Get the money from here, then jump through the gap (make sure you don't jump over the falcon down there). Try pressing Right a little bit so you can at least get the bag of money (although there is no way you can get all the money here). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.01.02 Part Two ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This part is very different. You are swimming now. Note that in order to dive, hold the Down button. Release it and you'll go up. Also, press the jump button to boost. Another note is that the power punch that you had (if you didn't lose any life) will be gone! You have to go very near to the enemies then punch them once. Swim down and kill the fish. Go down deeper then break the rock on the left. Here you'll find an annoying fish, but you can kill it with a punch. Obtain everything, then carry on right. Swim forward, get the money from the boxes, and kill the fish on the top. Break the rocks on the right and the box, too. When you reach the other side (by going through the lined, green stones), you'll meet a frog -- be careful as it may kill you. Just do what follows. Always press Down. Get the right chance and break the two rocks on its left (along with the box). Then, when he goes up, get inside quickly, hold Down, and stay on his left (from inside). When he throws the bubbles, swim up with caution until you reach its head and press the punch button. This will kill it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a secret (and easier) way to kill the first frog (to avoid any troubles with its bubbles). You need to swim forward, with the two fish above and below you, until the frog is half on and half off the screen (or a quarter on a quarter off - as long as it is not completely on the screen). Then swim back (left) between the fish, and try to swim back the way you came. When you get to the screen edge on the left, punch (off the screen) in the gap between the blocks (where you came through). Your punch goes off one side of the screen and onto another, so when the 'half frog' is level with you, it will die. Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are a bunch of rocks to the right, just break some to make a way. Kill the big fish, and if there's a small one below (there's a 30% chance you may see it) kill it, too. Here, you should act with caution. Go right. Break the first four rocks. Then, go down and break some more and get the money. Break the two above the question-marked box. Then, break the rock and get the food (rice) to beat the level, or before that, read what J. Sprehn wrote to me... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When everything is destroyed, break the question-marked box to get an extra life. Submitted by Jonas Sprehn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is where and when you'll get the extra life exactly, as pointed out by both J. Sprehn and L. Freire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.02 Stage 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This stage is also different. That's why Alex Kidd in Miracle World is one of the greatest games of the 80's. Here you can drive a motorbike! First, I suppose you have more than $500, that is, if you have followed what is in this FAQ. If you don't, it's OK if you have $400 but not less. The reason is that there's a shop here, and if you don't have that much money, you will not be able to buy the good things. Anyways, get through the shop by pressing Up on the door. If you do have more than $400, buy all of the three things. If you don't, make sure you buy the motorbike, or else, you won't be able to play this stage in a good way. To buy, jump on the thing. Get out of the shop, and if you've bought the motorbike, it's time to drive it. Press Right to fasten it. Press Left to move slowly. You can also jump. You will not get hurt if you are in the bike. OK, to start, move forward (don't move very fast). Pass the first pyramid and the other one (get all the money if you can), then move slowly. Make sure you don't touch the balloons. Otherwise, you'll lose the bike. You'll reach more pyramids and more balloons, just pass them all. In case you lose the bike, go normally and make sure you don't touch anything. In that case, also, don't fall on the green holes. By anyway, you'll reach three columns of balloons, and this will destroy your bike whatsoever way you do. Here, just jump and precede. You'll encounter Stone Head, the third henchman of the king. He will not let you pass by him UNLESS you defeat him in the famous Janken game. As always, you should either choose the stone, the paper, or the scissors. I won't say how to play it, because there's a great chance that you know it. To defeat Stone Head, choose the following before the music ends. The first round: the stone (zero). The second round: the scissors (two). If you do this, you'll win from the first time! If you act by yourself, or if you lose, you should try your luck. Get the rice and you've beaten the level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.03 Lake Fathom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.03.01 The Sea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is another level in the water. First, go down and break the five rocks. Get the extra life from the box with the question mark, then break the two boxes for money. Break the rocks then go right. Here is a huge octopus, be careful. BTW, read the secrets on how to deal with this octopus in order to get to the secret part of Lake Fathom, as walked-through below. Now go to the box to its left and get the money, then pass it very simply. Get the box above then continue right. Here are two seahorses and they are a little bit tricky to be killed. Stop where you are (you should be near them) and they may come to your place. Press punch to kill them. Break the rock and get the money from the box inside and then go out. After that, continue right. Break the six rocks and go down to take the money from the box. Go up and break the rocks to the left. Get inside to the box them break it. Now go right. Here is another octopus, and its place is a bit harder to pass, but get the right time and go. Break the rocks and precede left to get to the three boxes. Now go down. Break the other rocks and go through. Just head to the rice without touching both fishes and the level is over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.03.02 Secret Part ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This isn't really that hard, but here's the walkthrough anyways. Kill the two fishes in the first screen and go right from the corner below. Now ignore both fishes and go right safely. As you start in the next screen, jump right, and go on a stairway. Break all the boxes on the top over there, go down, and then break the boxes as you go right. Now get the other boxes up on the other side, and continue right. The rest of the level should be extremely easy, so end it by taking the rice ball. You'll thereafter be taking to the sea, so read 03.03.01 again. However, here's a cool secret. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first thing you do on this level is to punch out a whole lot of rocks, which form the pyramid. Do this, then go right and you get to a part where it looks like what follows... ------------------------------ O = White blocks/balls $ = Money bags (not boxed) $ $$$ $ $$$$$ OOOOO OOOOO X O O ________O_________ ------------------------------ Now, if you punch REPEATEDLY in mid-air, where that X is (do it about 10 times), the white block/balls which are directly underneath the money bags will be changed into money boxes! Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.04 Island of St. Nurari ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this level, you should jump, jump, and jump. You'll do that so much that it'll be annoying. But anyway, here's the walkthrough. Jump on the first four blue balls. Jump on the others to the right. Then try getting the money from the first box above. If you can't, no need for them. Anyways, go to the right of the five balls (with a box, they are six). The box, as far as I know, doesn't do anything. It only makes Alex fear for a while. I hope it doesn't really affect later on. Now the eight blocks to the right should be broken, so break the first three from the left column. Jump on the last one then on the first from the second column. Jump on the red ball to the left, and get the money from the left box. Break the rocks to make a way, then jump on the two red balls and then jump to the right. Get the money then continue breaking the rocks until you reach a volcanic place. Before passing, go left and jump to break the box with a skull on it, and the rock above it then stand there. Break the box and the rock above it and obtain the money. Now run and jump to the other side. Here go down and break the rock above the red one, then jump and break one and a box and get your money. Break both rocks, run, and jump to the other side (try to jump really higher and land on the red ball, because this seems to be a little harder). There is a scorpion down so take it out (it won't be visible because of the grass, but its tail will). Now I recommend you use the ring you've bought from that shop. Kill the scorpion and then break the rocks below. Kill the falcon first then go to the boxes. Now go right and walk to the old man. Read what he says and get the item to his left first then the rice to his right. The level is over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.05 Stage 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tap the jump button (and don't just press or hold it, press it repeatedly) to fly. Don't touch the red balloons, the sea below, or the enemies, or else, you'll fall down to the sea where it's another part. OK. In case you don't have the glider or you lose it, I have made this stage walkthrough consists of two parts; one in the air, and the other in the sea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.05.01 The Air ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is for the part in the air. Read the previous part to know how to use the glider. First, fly forward and go below the balloons to the eight bags of cash. Continue right, then go down not to touch the falcon. Go above the bunch of balloons, then continue and stand on the six balloons. Try going down and get them, then continue right. This part will be repeated several times, and finally get the rice. This will end stage 5. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.05.02 The Sea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And, as I said, in case you fall down, here is a walkthrough for the sea part. From the beginning of this sea, break the rocks to the left and break the box with the skull picture. Go down and kill the fish. Swim right, break the rock, and get the box. Now go down and break the rock, the skull box, and the other rock. Swim forward, kill the fish, and get the money below. Precede and kill the fishes then go up and kill the other fish. Break all the rocks and get the money then go right from up. There's a big fish here, so make sure you kill it. Ignore the other fishes and get the rice. The level is over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.06 Village of Namui ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this stage go to the shop by pressing Up. If you have at lease $800 then buy everything. About me, I only had $510 so they aren't so enough. I bought the glider and the A capsule. So buy them if you have at lease $300. If you don't, you should buy the A capsule only fro $100. I hope you at least have 100! The extra life is important, but since there's a cheat (read that section in the FAQ), you won't be sorry not to buy it. The glider is important here, as it will make the stage a lot easier (like the motorbike). Get out of the shop then ride the glider if you have it. By the way, the shots of the glider (which can be done by pressing the punch button) is gonna be good to use in this stage. Go forward normally (without flying) then shoot the fish. Fly to get all the cash and get the others from the box. Don't fall here, fly up to the rocks (without any clash). Break the rocks and get the money from the box then fly right in the sky and land on the three rocks. Break all the boxes then jump right. Go down and kill the scorpion, then go right. Break the rocks and get the cash. Continue right. Break all the other rocks and the boxes, too. Continue and wait for the fishes to go to the deadly water. Then get to all the boxes. There are many of them here. Do you see the fire? Get the right chance and break the box with the question mark to get an extra life. Fly right then up with touching anything, then precede and break all the things here and there to get the cash. Now you'll need to destroy the glider. Do that by clashing with the gray rocks above. Break the two rocks to the right then go. ------ Boss 1 ------ This ox needs to be hit eight times on his head. Every time you do that, he will run faster. If you do stop at your place and keep tapping the punch button, you'll probably kill him very easily. Once you beat him, another old man will talk to you then. Read that and jump to the rice to beat the level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.07 Mt. Kave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, I am on my day 3 since I've started the FAQ. In this morning, I should finally sleep. I wasn't sleeping all the night as usual. I'm feeling really tired. Hey, what's with the FAQ? Let's just continue. OK, so what level is it now? The seventh. There's a huge seven at the beginning of the level, have you noticed that? From the starting position, jump and get both cash from the boxes. Then, break some rocks to make your way out. There will be a strange creature coming towards you, so take him out. Continue and break some more rocks to reach the box. You may see a bat flying to the right. If you want, kill him. Get the box, then go above. Get the cash, then break the rocks to reach the two boxes and a scorpion below. Kill it first then put your hands on the boxes. Go right. Break all the rocks and boxes to get everything. From the box with the question mark, you'll find a ring. Continue and get the box with a skull on it then jump down to the volcano BUT HOLD THE RIGHT BUTTON. Get the item and cash then continue and jump right. Then, jump up to the left. Get the cash from the boxes with the star mark. Then, precede right. Get the box with the skull then obtain all the cash. Jump carefully here (to the right), then kill the scorpion below. Go to the bunch of rocks near the flying flame. Make sure you do NOT touch it. OK, break the rocks but not the ones in the below row, the ones above that, so that you can a bridge for yourself, then get everything you see. Continue your way right, and LEAVE THE BOX WITH THE QUESTION MARK HERE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You should break the second question box and run away from the ghost. Break the third question box and get another Extra Life. Break the fourth question box and get a Ring. Submitted by Lucas Freire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Break the rock in the below row instead. And also, kill the strange creature. Stand on the purple box with the star on it, then go up for the cash AND NOT FOR THE BOX. Another instant killer is there. Go down again then right to the scorpion and kill it. The two boxes here are a little bit hard to get, so I suggest you leave them. Go down CAREFULLY AND WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE SKULL, then continue right. Get everything here but don't step on the other skull icon AND don't get the other box which has a question mark on it. Go right and kill both the bat and the scorpion. Continue right until you see Scissors Head, the second henchman of the king. As previously solved by me, choose the scissors first, then the paper to win! Now get the rice to complete this stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.08 Blakwoods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a shop. Enter it. If you still haven't used the A capsule, then don't buy it. You suppose to have at least $320 (if you already have that capsule). At this time, I had $1,290! Buy the motorbike and the staff. Leave. OK, now onto the motorbike walkthrough. First, drive slowly and pass the first hole (you need to jump). Then, drive fast and jump to the other side. Get everything in the way. Whenever a hole is there, drive fast and jump. If you are on the land, don't go really fast to get the things. And soon enough, you'll encounter another boss... ------ Boss 2 ------ Do you remember the ring you've collected in the previous stage? Use it to give you powerful punches. Two on its head will take care of it. And watch out for the monkey above. Once you beat it, get the rice before you get hit by that stupid monkey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You may also kill Boss 2 by using the Capsule A. Submitted by Lucas Freire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This bear isn't hard if you walk up to it. It will raise its sword, leaving you free to punch it to death! As long as you stay close to it, it will never strike. Now you just have to worry about that damned monkey. Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.09 Stage 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.09.01 Riding the Boat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wow! Another new type of levels. You are now riding a boat. What you should know is that is can shoot by using the punch button. Well, this is pretty hard, but I was able to beat it (only once). Go really fast first, then, after you pass three balloons, start acting slowly. I will leave the rest to you if you want to do the boat part. Just make sure you don't touch a thing but the cash. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.09.02 The Sea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once you hit the first flying fish, you'll begin the sea part. Kill the fishes then go down to the left and break the rocks and boxes. Ignore the deadly box with the question mark. Swim right and break the bunch of boxes then precede. Reach the boxes up then swim right from there. You might need more money, so break the rocks and boxes above that big guy carefully, without being hit by him, then continue right. For your safety, swim down right to that guy then break all the row of rocks to reach the box and then, with caution, get the rice. A pretty easy part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.10 Bingoo Lowland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter the shop. If you, like me, still haven't used the white box with a red question mark, then don't buy it. You should, at least, have $320 at this point (I have $1,290). Buy the glider and the B capsule. Then leave. Fly using that glider (you know how), and pass the first two green lakes (try getting what you can), and on the third, be careful as there's a dark cloud. Get a good chance then pass it. Another one is there. Do the same. Phew! Continue right carefully not to break your glider, then break the brown rocks using the punch button. Continue flying right, then some more of those dark clouds will appear. Be careful when dealing with them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are some clouds low enough to fly over. From Sega Notebook. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, go right until you reach a moving fire. Break the rocks above, then, carefully, go down and get the ring from the box with the question mark (there are two bad things here; the fire and the dark cloud). Continue and get the money from the box, then precede. Pass all the fires and the other dark cloud, then there will be look like a stairway with fires on it. Pass all of those, including the very annoying cloud, then if you still have the glider, go to the rocks to break it. Paper Head, the first henchman of the king, will appear then. Just choose the rock, then the scissors. Get the rice to beat level 10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.11 Radaxian Castle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally. OK, this stage, in my opinion of course, is the best in the game! Yes it is. Sometimes you have to restart from the very beginning because of a small mistake. So, because of that, you have to walk step-by-step with the following walkthrough, in order to beat this stage. Once you begin, Alex will automatically get through the gates. At that moment, hold the Right direction to go right before the spikes above kill you, and JUMP BEFORE YOU REACH THE SQUARE THAT HAS A SKULL ON IT. It's not really important, because you'll go to another screen quickly. While you are in the air (when jumping), hold Up on the ladder to go up. Here, you may notice the two letters T & A. Anyways, here's what you should do here... O First, break the right rocks of the letter A BUT NOT the last one, so that the fire won't get out. O Jump on the rock that you didn't break, then break a rock from the below side of the triangle in the letter A. O Run and jump inside that triangle and get the cash, then break both rocks to the left of the letter A's triangle. O Jump up and try killing the bat, then, from there, break the two rocks to your right. Run left and jump to the letter T. Now go up the ladder to the next screen. OK, here, jump and face the rock which that frog is jumping on. Break it and the frog itself. Now this is hard. Don't care about the money now. Run and jump (don't hold the jump too much because there are spikes on the ceiling) to the next side. If you really can't do it, there's nothing to do but to use the staff item which enables you to fly using the directional pad. In this case, get the cash, and be careful; it's not infinite. I highly recommend that you do not use it now, but if this is the only way you can, then do it. In any case, go right to the next screen. Here, you may want an extra life. If you want it, then do the following. If you don't then skip this part of the walkthrough. Try killing the bat and/or scorpion so you'll be safe for a while. Head right from above. Here, jump and don't touch the fires, and take the extra life at the end, then return carefully. Wait until the bat goes left, then hold Left until you perfectly land. Jump right without touching the spikes, then go right. Now, I recommend using the ring. Use it's power to destroy the rocks, and the bats. Now go down. OK, here, do not ever think of getting the cash as it is a trap! Destroy the rocks by using the punch, and for safety, go and kill the scorpion below. Continue blasting the rocks (this may take several times to do, so keep going down between the rocks and the ladder and press the punch. Finally, go right. Break the rocks and the bat then go up the ladder (DON'T GO DOWN). Oh, finally, Alex's brother in a cage. You got to free him. Break the rocks above then jump on the below one. Jump right above the spikes, and hit the boxes to free him. Read what he said then go down the ladder. Here, you HAVE TO BE CAREFUL; the bat is about to touch you in any moment, so kill it quickly. Break the rocks then go left and break the others. Jump down to the scorpion and kill it, then RUN to the right non-stopping. Get the money for the two boxes here, then return running and go down the ladder before you get killed. Head right, and then keep jumping without being touched by the flames. This is gotta be easy, isn't it? Here, this might be tougher. You have to reach the other side really quickly (of course without touching the fire), and by using the ladders. When the flames are to the left, go down and go up the ladder in the middle of the room (you need to jump). Jump to the small ladder to the right, then jump to the rocks. Go up. Jump left WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SPIKES, then go up, kill the bat if you want, and then get the Autographed Letter. Now return in the very same way down. When the fires to the left, jump to the first ladder that is linked to the floor. Once the first fire goes to the right and started to go left, press Left and go down to the next screen. The only way you can reach the scorpion below is to go right then jump down. Kill it instantly, then head left. To do that, hold the Left, then before you reach the block, press Down. Alex will crouch. Hold Left to go. Break the below row of rocks then run and press Down to crouch. Go left and press Down. Get the star, then return in the same way. Kill the scorpion again, then go right. You HAVE to do this quickly. You should still have the powered punch. Punch the below and middle row of rocks as you reach this screen, then RUN to the other side. Here, get a good chance to pass each fire (or ignore if it is possible). Go by any way up the ladder. Stone Head is here to play with you Janken again. Choose paper then paper again and you will win. ---------------------- Boss 3 -- Stone Head ---------------------- This is pretty damned easy. Just hit (and don't touch) his flying head three times and you will win. You have to be close to him because your powered punch will be cancelled here. Get the rice and beat the level. Phew! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.12 City of Radaxian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go forward and kill the scorpion. Go up to the left and get the money. Go to the shop to the right. I do have the capsules at that moment, so I just bought an extra life for $500 (I already have $1,220). Leave. Go to the box below by crouching from left to right, and then get what you can from the boxes (paying attention to the fire). Go right. You'll encounter Scissors Head again. Choose stone then stone. This will defeat him. You made him angry, so, for the battle! ------------------------- Boss 4 -- Scissors Head ------------------------- Stand in the middle of the screen, and avoid the blue shots by jumping. When his head goes down, punch it once then go left. Do that three times to kill him. Get the rice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.13 Stage 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another time on the glider, but now you should go left instead of right. As you begin, fly down but not into the green water, up, left, down, and left without touching the balls or water. Fly up and left avoiding the balls. You'll see the balls now like the ones when you began, but the harder thing is the plants. You SHOULDN'T touch them. Kill the falcons, and continue left. The second part will be repeated, then numerous falcons will come. Make sure you don't touch anyone of them. Part one will also be repeated but now with plants and falcons! Simply pass them and get the rice to end this stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.14 Kingdom of Nibana ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This isn't really a stage. Go and talk to the king, and get the Stone Slab on his left, then get to the rice to his right. By the way, I've known a reader who come all the way here without the letter. She said she's got her game over and has to restart! Aidan McDonald adds that the king won't recognise, and so he'll summon a ghost to kill you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.15 Stage 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go right to the shop. If you used the staff, then buy it. I haven't used it yet. So I bought a motorbike and a ring (both for $300) while I had $790. Leave. Note: in this stage you'll find a ring when it's nearly ended. Using the motorbike, drive right. Try getting what you see, and jump above the gray rocks to get the bunch of boxes (you may not). Continue, and when you see that plant, JUMP. Also, after the second one, get the box with the question mark (extra life), then drive without jumping for a while. Now drive fast and jump before the bigger hole to land on four stones. AT THAT MOMENT, jump again. The motorbike might get destroyed now, but that's OK. Get the ring from the box with the question mark, then go down and right. As you should guess, it's Paper Head. One last challenge and might be the toughest. Choose stone then scissors to win. A battle will occur. ---------------------- Boss 5 -- Paper Head ---------------------- To beat this tough guy, stand to the left of the screen, and hit him three times (once his head comes). Unlike the previous two heads, Paper's doesn't stop when it gets hit. Get the rice (notice a new castle in the map). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.16 Janken's Castle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, here, as you begin, run and jump right to reach both boxes, then fall down from the left. Get what you can from the three bags of money then go down. Go right. Jump up, then on that light brown thing WHEN the flame is to the left. You go down. Run to the box, break it, then jump right before the flames touches you. Go down then return up. Everything will return to its normal. Run left and then jump. Go up left, break the boxes, and get the money from the box. Return right, then down. OK, here, you gotta be careful. Don't go down until you are sure you won't land on the flames. Quickly, jump left and break the blocks. Continue left and stop before you reach the flame. Jump up left then go down. Break the blocks to the left and slide or crouch left to reach the money and the box. Do the same to return right. If you are too bored of breaking all of the blocks here, then I recommend you to use the ring. Go right. Leave the ladder now and go right. Break all the blocks and get the money from that box up there, then go down. Kill the scorpion then go down. Jump near the flame, then pass it. Go right and do the same to the other flame BUT make sure you break the rock quickly. Go right. In this screen as you enter it, HOLD THE RIGHT DIRECTION! Do that, and if you have the powered punch, break the rocks while running non-stopping. And quickly go right. BTW, if you don't have that powered punch, then you HAVE to break the blocks really fast, or else, you'll get iced! Here, jump up to left carefully if you want some money, then go right and kill the frog. Now jump right and go to the next screen. If you have the powered punch, then wait until the scorpion reaches the left side of the screen (by jumping when it comes to you), and kill it from that side. Now slide under the blocks and hold Right (this might be boring). Do that if you don't have the powered punch. If you have it, no need for this. Anyways, when you reach the other side, first, break the blocks to your left. Now, break the below box ONLY. Quickly, slide and get it. Ignore the box above, as it has a ghost! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you punch the ghost box, it will change the other three question-marked boxes on this stage (meaning you'll get an extra life then another ring, and then another ghost who you can leave). This ghost is a difficult one to escape from. You have to get to the ladder at the top quickly to ditch the ghost. Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now slide left, and go up. Avoid touching the flame and continue up. Finally, go up the ladder. Break the blocks to Alex's left, then go there and jump right with breaking the blocks. Stay there, and jump up left to break the blocks. Go up there, then go down from the left side. Break the blocks and head left. Go down the ladder, get the money, and then return up. Jump carefully on the boxes (which contain ghosts), then head left slowly, except if you've been escaping from the previous ghosts. Here's what Aidan said... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you got the previous two question-marked boxes, these will contain an extra life and a ring. To get them, you have to jump and punch the wall on the left of the screen (where you entered from). This will cause a breakable box to appear just below and to the side of the question-marked boxes, leaving you free to get them both! Then the last question-marked box on this stage can be avoided as it contains a ghost. Submitted by Aidan McDonald. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a very hard place. If you think you're being so cool and can jump without touching any plant or water, then do it. It's really possible, but hazardous. But, if you can't, use the staff to enable you to fly. In this case, make sure you don't touch the plants! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T USE THE STAFF! Believe me, it will be much better. Submitted by Lucas Freire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, go up the ladder, then go left. Here, jumb on the first block, then go right. Jump on the other block (this gotta be boring), and get the money from that box if you want to, then return to that block and continue on the other one to the left. Finally, make your way to the left and break the blocks. Go left and climb the ladder. If you are being really that cool, you may want to reach the money bags to the right. It's hard, really, so I recommend ignoring them and heading left instead. Do that slowly. Go down carefully, then jump left not to fall on the flame (land between them). Make sure you don't think of getting that box with a "?" OK? Jump to the ladder and go up. Jump left. Keep doing that and then go up the ladder. If you have the powered punch, this is gonna be a hard task to do. Do all of this quickly. Make a distance between you and the purple block with a fist picture on it. Press the punch button to send a power to that box while facing it. Do that again and run right (that is, if you had the time to do that). If you don't have the powered punch you have to punch the box twice then run right. It is hard in both cases. When you successfully do that, go up the ladder. Kill both frogs then go left. Reach the top by jumping, then continue right, killing the frog. Then, go right slowly. Here, you have to act quickly. As you are there, jump down, go right on the thing which is in a different color, face left, and use the punch button before the spikes above get on you. That is, if you have the powered punch. If you don't, do the same, but instead of staying in your place and punching, go to where the left column of blocks will land and punch then go down through the hole. Be careful while you land because there are some enemies and spikes down. Kill the stone enemy, then kill the scorpion on the right. Punch the block twice and go right. Jump down from left and try to get the money, then you'll be in water. There will be some annoying plants, but it's simple to avoid them. Swim right then go down and swim forward without touching any of the plants. There's a better thing to do in this paragraph from a reader... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't fall down. Instead, use the staff and go to the ladder up on the left. Submitted by Lucas Freire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note that if you followed Lucas' tip, skip this paragraph. After entering this screen, you should be really careful. Here are lots of spikes and you have to make your way up to the ladder. OK, swim between the spikes, then relax, you won't die. Continue down, right, then up. Go left then up and head to the ladder to the right. OK, finally, you can get an extra life. You should be careful, though. It isn't really easy. You should use a ring if you want it. Jump above on the block. Then, go near the flame and jump up right. Break both blocks, get the extra life, and then return left. Break the blocks and continue left. Hold the Left button once you are here and don't release it until you reach the ladder. Go up. Continue and go left. Kill the frog and the scorpions here and if you do not have the box which makes you invisible, and you want it, then punch that box and head down throught the small hole. Break the block and slide to it, then break the block above and slide down. Continue as you did before and reach the screen with the frog and scorpions. Near that box, go right. Break the blocks and use the invisibility box. Quickly, go right and jump before it ends. Break the blocks and go down the left ladder. Break the blocks and be careful while going down. Try landing between the scorpion and the flame when they are all heading right, then kill the scorpion and continue right. Oh, boy. Finally, we've reached Janken! As always, a Janken match will occur first. Choose paper twice and you'll win. The final battle begins now! ---------------------------- Boss 6 -- Janken the Great ---------------------------- This is a really easy boss if you know the secret of victory. As this battle begins, stand too close to Janken. His shots won't ever touch you, so punch his head several times when you got the chance (right after he shoots), and you are the winner! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is possible to beat Janken multiple times. But the Janken-game must also be repeated and Janken will use a new combination. I just played the game and here are the combinations for 10 victories against him! 1st time: paper, paper (the normal battle) 2nd time: paper, scissors 3rd time: paper, paper 4th time: scissors, stone 5th time: paper, paper 6th time: stone, scissors 7th time: paper, stone 8th time: paper, scissors 9th time: paper, paper 10th time: paper, scissors Submitted by Thomas Schulze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the Sun Stone Medallion and head up from the ladder. There's a woman. Read what she says and head to the rice ball. You have finally completed this stage. Only one thing is left; get the crown of the prince. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.17 Cragg Lake ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.17.01 Part One ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, the last stage. It is really easy comparing with the previous one. As you begin, use the ring (since it's the last time you do so), and hit the boxes. Try to collect as many of the things as possible (for the final score), then dive. Swim deeper from left and kill the fishes. Kill that big fish for your safety. Now break the rocks and get the money. Kill the fishes. Then go down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03.17.02 Part Two ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go inside. Alex will insert both sun and moonlight stone medallions to unlock the final place. Get through. Now this is really risky. If you don't have any lives left, you'll have to reset the game from the very beginning! Do the following... O Keep in mind that any mistake will bring ghosts to you, and there's no way out! O The puzzle can be solved from that stone which that king gave you. O OK, for the solution. From left to right, there are five boxes in this order: moon, waves, sun, star, and fish.

The ending will be rolled and your final score will be shown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.18 Ending ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is what you'll read at the end of the game... The heroic action taken by Alex Kidd resulted in the downfall of Janken the Great and a return of peace and tranquility to "Radaxian." In a dazzling coronation, "Igul", his elder brother, became the king of "Radaxian." The citizens who were turned into stone reverted back to human beings through the power of the "Crown." Alex was overjoyed that he was able to use his martial art skills for the good of the citizens. Some doubt still lingers in his mind as to whether or not all of the sinister enemy forces were actually destroyed. Added to this fear, is the uneasiness he feels because of the fact that the where- abouts of his father, King Sander, is still unknown. The End ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03.19 Score Board ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK. If you have a score that is higher than the guys' and gals' below, then you may send it to me. However, I need a proof that you really got that score. You can either send me a screenshot, a savestate, or a movie or demonstration for one of the following emulators (I do have more, but I don't use them, or they don't work properly on my PC): AGES, chasms, eSMS, FreezeSMS, Kega (my personal favourite), and Meka. __________________________________________ T o p 5 S c o r e s B o a r d __________________________________________ (1) Thomas Schulze 161,000 N (2) Enigma_Nova 090,200 D (3) Throwaway Hero 082,400 D (4) Blitz 067,800 D (5) Gemma 067,000 __________________________________________ N: New to the list.

I got them from the Sega Notebook. <> Hidden Location In Lake Fathom, when you come to the first octopus, kill him by punching out the tentacle segments, or you can use the Teleport powder and punch him in the face twice. After you kill him, center Alex over the gray chest and press down twice. This will bring you to an underground lake and the southernmost island in the lake. Read 03.03.02 for more information. <> Continues When the words "GAME OVER" appear on the screen, hold the D-button up and hit button 2 eight times. This must be done before the music stops. Continuing will cost $400. Note: Both secrets were tested by Thomas Schulze, and he proved that they work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.02 Scoring System ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, this is from the manual... The points you earn for defeating different enemies are added together to produce you final score. Here's what earns what: THE ENEMIES/NORMAL BOSSES MONSTER BIRD 200 points MONSTER FROG 200 points SCORPION 200 points FLYING FISH 200 points SMALL POISONOUS FISH 200 points ROLLING ROCK 200 points BAT 200 points MONKEY 400 points HOPPER 400 points KILLER FISH 400 points SEA HORSE 400 points MERMAN 600 points OX 600 points GRIZZLY BEAR 800 points RICE BALL 1,000 points OCTOPUS 4,200 points THE JANKEN PLAYERS PARPLIN THE PURSUER 2,000 points CHOKKINNA THE SLY 2,000 points GOOSEKA THE SLIPPERY 2,000 points FOR HITTING ANY OF THE ABOVE 3 DIRECTLY OVER THE HEAD 200 points JANKEN THE GREAT 10,000 points ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easiest way to get a really high score is to beat Janken multiple times; to do so first beat him at paper-rock-scissors and then beat him by punching him; now the ladder will appear -- climb it, but as soon as you enter the upper floor, return -- Janken will be alive! Another 10,000 points. I did this once to get about 200,000 points (easy with the Telepathy Ball) you can do this as long as you want but it is quite boring. Submitted by Thomas Schulze. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.03 Pro Action Replay Codes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, in order to use the Pro Action Replay codes, you'll need a Pro Action Replay. :) The following codes were obtained from Video Game Strategies and FreezeSMS' .frz file of Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Actually, you will find more in it. ---------------------------------- Code | What it does ---------------------------------- 00C0 2507 | Infinite Lives 00C0 4D01 | Power Bracelet 00C0 4601 | Magic Capsule A 00C0 4701 | Magic Capsule B 00C0 4A01 | Teleport Powder 00C0 4901 | Cane of Flight 00C0 4801 | Telepathy Ball 00C0 4B01 | Moonstone Medallion 00C0 4C01 | Letter to Nibana 00C0 4E01 | Hirotta Stone ---------------------------------- As a miscellaneous, I'll explain how to use the code for an emulator called FreezeSMS. Click on the PAR button or press Alt + T to bring the Pro Action Replay window up. As you see, there are four slots (yes, the SMS can apply up to four PAR code lines at once only). Copy the above code and paste it in Slot 1. Now run the game and play. If you want to disable the code while playing, press Alt + 1. Note that I didn't check all of those codes. But, the ones I checked were working correctly. =============================================================================== 05 Conclusion =============================================================================== Well, this is the end of the file.
