HEART CONTAINERS
|
|
|
|
There are supposedly 16 Heart containers. I finished the game missing
|
|
one. I know the location of 15, one of which I (previously) couldn't
|
|
get to. Most of them are laying out in the open or presented after
|
|
beating a boss, thorough walking around each area will yield them.
|
|
Their locations are included below ( Two are found while riding the
|
|
mine carts, directions to those two are given in the next session):
|
|
|
|
0. Start with 3
|
|
1. After first meanie tree.
|
|
2. In the meadow before the Pig boss
|
|
3. Before entrance to mine shaft
|
|
4. Inside mine shaft, toward far left area (through walk through wall)
|
|
5. Inside mine shaft, toward lower left area. Walk through wall, then
|
|
float up ladder.
|
|
6. Top right corner of hedge maze
|
|
7. Upper right area while under water
|
|
8. middle left area while under water (below second exit).
|
|
9. Room above first room at entrance to dungeon
|
|
10. in lower right area of first ant hole
|
|
11. Right after dragon boss
|
|
12. On tracks after dragon boss
|
|
|
|
Mystery Heart Question answered (the one I previously couldn't get to
|
|
number 9 above):
|
|
|
|
(From SALGARDNER@delphi.com)
|
|
|
|
I know how to get the last heart that you said you missed. Found it
|
|
when cruising thru old Nintendo mag while searching for hints. Move one
|
|
of the pillars so you can walk over by the upper wall in the corner.
|
|
Use the balloon to rise up to what is actually an upper floor. Get
|
|
heart and climb down. I thought this was a bit unfair and unobvious.
|
|
Never would have got it w/o the mag.

MINE CART TRACKS
|
|
|
|
Track 1 (1 heart container, 1 exit)
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
2nd right
|
|
2nd down

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Track 2 (1 exit)
|
|
|
|
I didn't write these down, since it was rather short/straight forward,
|
|
anyone?
|
|
|
|
Track 3 (1 heart container, 1 exit)
|
|
|
|
Each rubber ball disappears after you beat 1 boss. First you have
|
|
to beat the spider, then the pig thing, then gloop, then the
|
|
Shadow King
|
|
|
|
Here are some directions:
|
|
|
|
To the heart container: (From start)
|
|
start ( headed in this direction -> )
|
|
turn down (headed down)
|
|
turn at the second right, almost at the bottom of the room (head ->)
|
|
turn up (headed up)
|
|
at top of room, head right ->
|
|
turn down on last possible track
|
|
ride through wall at bottom for container ( you will auto
|
|
turn a couple times)
|
|
|
|
To spider: (From start, This is the hardest one I think)
|
|
start ( headed in this direction -> )
|
|
turn down (headed down)
|
|
turn at first left ( <-- )
|
|
turn up
|
|
turn at last right (might be an auto turn)
|
|
turn at first up (I'm not certain it is the first up, but it is
|
|
after crossing a track or two)
|
|
turn at first left (I think it is the only left, the tracks end if you
|
|
go too far)
|
|
bounce off the ball (the room behind this ball leads to gloop) -->
|
|
go down (to where you came from )
|
|
turn left at the very bottom of room
|
|
this should lead to the spider room
|
|
|
|
From spider to pig thing:
|
|
start (from spider room) -->
|
|
go up
|
|
turn left or right and use one of the balls to reverse direction and go
|
|
back down.
|
|
turn left, let the auto turns take you the next room.
|
|
|
|
You should be able to find the last two balls now since you have been
|
|
every where else, just reverse the directions to get to the other rooms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BOSSES
|
|
|
|
SPIDER 1 (similar to SPIDER 2)
|
|
|
|
Freeze the nest, then shoot it with the star. In general I just
|
|
repeated the following three steps:
|
|
|
|
- put a decoy in front of the spider (to attract the little guys)
|
|
- use the snow flake while in front of the nest
|
|
- fire on the nest with the star
|
|
- repeat as nessecary.
|
|
|
|
GLOOP 2
|
|
|
|
I got past gloop. Use your mirror to distract him while he is hopping
|
|
around. As soon as he breaks up, place a decoy and step within range
|
|
of the decoy. switch your item to the stun dust. alternate Y and
|
|
B to stun/shoot. This is all you have to do. stun, shoot, stun, shoot,
|
|
etc.

SHADOW KING 2 (Courtesy of spordon@nyx10.cs.du.edu (Steve Pordon (Legion))
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your help getting to the Shadow King. Here's how to beat him:
|
|
|
|
Have the comb and the torch weapon ready when you enter his room. When
|
|
he starts to attack with the flying eyeballs, just walk around avoiding
|
|
them and torch them when you can.
|
|
|
|
Then when he sends the time bombs toward you, start tapping 'Y' to comb
|
|
your hair. What happens is the bombs wait for you to stop combing, then
|
|
explode, but if you hit the button fast enough you will be invincible
|
|
when they explode. You shouldn't take more than about 1 full heart of
|
|
damage. (NOTE: You can use the invincibility water here, just stand
|
|
close to the Shadow King and it will last through all the bomb guys)
|
|
|
|
When he throws the darkness at you, just use the torch. this will light
|
|
the area immediately. I think you have to have the torch in your hand
|
|
before the darkness for it to work.
|
|
|
|
Then he throws the electrical orbs at you -- use the mirror, which will
|
|
attract the orbs. Now comes the easy part.
|
|
|
|
Get the hourglass ready. Stand toward the center of the floor, but where
|
|
you can see the King when he is on your right in the lava. Right when he
|
|
starts to jump, freeze time. Then run to the left where the princess is
|
|
locked into an orb. Get your silver stars ready and hit the orb a couple
|
|
of times. She'll pop out and give you a golden amulet. Stop time again
|
|
and run back to the right, and get the amulet ready. Avoid the shadow
|
|
king and use the amulet when he lands. The amulet needs time to recharge
|
|
between attacks, so use the hourglass a few times after you use the
|
|
amulet, and it will recharge in time for the next attack by the king.
