  1. INTRODUCTION

Tricky Kick is a puzzle game for the TurboGrafix-16, an obscure system that 
chucked out some beautiful games in the early nineties, its heyday, as in 
"Hey! What'd I miss?" In TK you simply have to kick two of the same item 
together, and they disappear, until you clear the board of pieces. You can 
bump one item with another unless the way is blocked, i.e.

12  <can kick 2 right

123 <can't

TK has regular and special mode, special having the same number of puzzles, 
but they are lot longer. Regular has 6 runs of 10 puzzles each, with the 
simplistic sort of Anime story where you know how it's going to end, but so 
what--you must solve them in order for each run, but it's nice if you get 
stuck on one. While levels get tougher as you work from 1 to 10 even the 
early levels are not trivial, but sadly the later levels become paper pushing 
or the trick you've seen before or can figure out--with enough obvious 
matches your first time through, you're left with only one really tough one 
to figure out.

So the puzzles never bowl you over. But they look very nice--especially the 
haunted house(a kid needs to survive to join the club) and the city 
streets(robot warrior and Mayumi, a girl walking to a birthday party.) And 
it's still clear what's an obstacle. The forest is also nice and while 
prehistory and ancient Japan are nothing special, the monster types are 
certainly cute. The special effects partially make up for the small dead end 
in the puzzles--only so many ways to do things there.

And the special levels drag out--you get 30 minutes but you don't need them, 
or the 20+ seconds it takes to count off the bonus at the ends. It's worse 
than those **** cellphone ringtones so popular these days. Although you do 
get to see a few new icons to push around as many levels are quite congested 
(woo tiddlyflip hoo!) But overall TK is fun and that is what counts.

Now about this FAQ. Sometimes I use shorthand and sometimes I write out what 
to kick where.
--3U=3 squares U
--L*=all the way left
--L*-1=all the way left - 1
--Sometimes I'll say "kick the X" when one X is in the corner and it will be 
pretty clear there's only one you can kick
--this FAQ may not optimize solutions. Often you can weave obvious right 
moves together, concentrating alternately on pairs, to get done a bit 
quicker. But it's harder to memorize and follow.
--I wish I could use shorthand all the time but sometimes it's easier to 
visualize words, and there are some timing puzzles.
--If I say "kick X down" and there's something blocking X above, that means 
kick what's above X to send X down.
--for easy matches(usually icons horizontally/vertically aligned or next to 
each other) I'll gloss over the details of how to do it.
--sometimes I will name animals awkwardly/inconsistently between various 
levels. But it should be consistent for each round.

  2. BASICS

    2-1. CONTROLS

RUN BUTTON lets you give up.
BUTTON 1 kicks in the direction you face. You can change direction to another 
direction you're blocked in--you just don't move.

Enemies you kick go about 3x as fast as you do.

Bumpers cause enemies to bounce back at you. While an enemy bounces you can 
move away/towards to relocate the enemy, or you can even move out of the way.
Some rows and columns wrap--you can leave an enemy falling through there as 
long as you wish.

    2-2. POINTS

Points: 10 20 50 100 150 200 300 400 500 500 ... (*2) regardless of what the 
block is.

    2-3. PIECES

Enemies stop when they hit against other enemies or a wall or you. You can't 
match three at once.

Enemies can go off the screen and keep looping until you stop them. If you 
can walk off the screen, you can kick an enemy off and vice versa.

Bumpers cause enemies to run back in the direction they were sent.

Arrows cause enemies to change direction. If you kick an enemy onto an arrow 
and it gets stuck, you can't kick it in another direction. You have to remove 
whatever is blocking it for it to go forward.

If an enemy hits an arrow and one of its own type is blocking further 
progress right away, you don't get a match i.e.

1
^    1

In a maze of arrows, two quick matches cause a bug in the game where only one 
enemy is destroyed.

You can kick an enemy into a bumper if there is space between it and a 
bumper. You can move it pretty much anywhere along the line the enemy forms 
with the bumper.

If you kick an enemy into a bumper/arrow, you can also cause a collision that 
will destroy them. Kick your enemy when they are 45-degree diagonal from each 
other and they will meet at the same time. Boom.

    2-4. GAME LAYOUT

The regular and special modes have 6 levels of 10 rounds each. Solve the 
regular for the special's password. The cutscenes are the same for the 
special as for the regular levels. The rounds start easy at 1, generally, and 
go to hard at 10. No one level seems appreciably tougher than the other. You 
have to get through them all anyway, so it doesn't matter--you can have up to 
six to work on at any one time if you get stuck, too, since you can choose 
where to go next.

  3. STRATEGIES

One of the things I've noticed about this sort of puzzle game is that there 
are only so many things to do. Some people take this as running out of stuff 
to do, but they can also look at it as running out of stuff to do wrong. A 
few guiding rules may help you stumble on the right solution--or close enough 
that you turn around and say "geez, why'd I do that."

Of course with this guide you shouldn't need these tips but maybe you'll find 
them interesting in general.

--there's nothing wrong with making the obvious moves first. If there are two 
pieces you can't match together near the end in an open board, think of where 
you could use a buffer piece to link them together. Never say "oh that's too 
easy, it wouldn't work."
--the exception to "try anything" is if you have 4 of a certain piece and 2 
in corners then you know the 2 free pieces must each go into a corner.
--try to picture what could happen if you got rid of one troublesome piece. 
The rest often falls into place.
--often it's a good idea to leave a piece one move before you match it. You 
can bounce other pieces off it.
--if you move a piece to the side or to a corner, be sure you have a method 
to move another piece there or an arrow to get it out. Remember, once in 
there you can't back out.
--if you're having trouble getting two pieces together at all, picture where 
you could put or remove another piece to get things to work. Also, try to ID 
pieces that serve a useful bunker against a wall.
--don't get careless pushing a pair into the corner. Often I've done 
something like the following two below.

  XX
a->X
   X a->  X
XX X     aX
  aX XXXXXX
XXXX

The right moves are clear if you think for a bit.

--Use bumpers--even chain them--to get a piece into position. Remember you 
can flip your position with an enemy between two bumpers. Kick it, say, up 
and dodge and when it comes back down, step in so it stops on the way up. 
Once you're above it you can kick it where you need it.
--Always check to make sure that you haven't placed three enemies in a row--
unless you can get rid of one quickly.
--Work backwards from where you want to kick a certain piece to. You can 
often find the right path that way.
--You can often use arrows to move a piece off the side. Also note arrow 
patterns that can kick an item quickly from one side to another or even 
provide a useful loop.

  4-1. OBERON

      4-1-1.

I actually got caught up on the first level for a while. I guess there's no 
sense in it being too trivial. Here is what you need to do.

1. Kick the right squirrels right
2. Kick the gators from the left, sending the lions right
3. Kick the left squirrels left
4. Kick the gators left
5. Kick one of the center gators from above then below
6. Kick one of the squirrels vertically twice
7. Repeat 5-6 for the lions on the right

      4-1-2.

Kick the UR cat from above, the DR squirrel from the left, the D cat twice, 
the UL lion right, the top wolf down, the UL lion left, the UR squirrel left, 
the bottom squirrel up twice, the DR lion left and then up twice.

      4-1-3.

A maddening little level with lots of minor pitfalls. Kick the two snakes 
from above. L kick-L R 3D L kick-U kick-L R 3U kick-R*2 L D kick-D R 2D kick-
L*2

This will pin two lions and tigers against the left.

3R kick-R 2L 3U 2R kick-D 2L 3D R kick-R*2(cats). Kick the top gorilla and 
bunny 2x each. Kick the squirrel left(lions) U 2L D kick-R(squirrels) 4R 
kick-D*2(tigers)

Kick the left tigers from above then the DR lion L/U. Kick the UR rabbit left 
twice, then kick it down and the DR gorilla left twice(rabbits). Kick the top 
gorilla twice to win.

      4-1-4.

It's tough to get that first one without dragging a pair into an adjacent 
corner, but once you do, everything falls apart. You can't directly go for 
one pair but if you weave them together, good things happen.

3L 3D kick-R*2 3U R kick-D L 2D R kick-R kick-D*2 2L D kick-R(lions)

2U R kick-D(geese) 3D kick-R 3U R kick-D 5D R kick-U

      4-1-5.

This is one of those impressive looking levels that collapse quickly after 
trial and error. In fact there is a brutally straightforward way through.

Kick-L*2 Kick-D*2 3D Kick-L*2

L kick-U L kick-U L kick-U*2 L kick-U L kick-U

2R 2U 2L kick-D R kick-D 2U kick-R 2D 2R kick-D R kick-D 3L 3D kick-R

      4-1-6.

There's only one pair you can match after a kick and that's the cats.

4D 3L kick-U 2L 2U kick-R(cats)

3U 2R kick-D R kick-D 3L 3D R kick-R*2(gargoyles)

L 2D 2R kick-U 2U R U kick-R*2(snakes)

D kick-D 3L 3U 2R kick-D 2L 5D R kick-R*2(wolves)

2R 3U kick-U kick-R D 2R kick-U 3L 3U kick-R(lions)

      4-1-7.

The key here is, after getting the top bit right, leaving the four snakes for 
last. The obvious connection of two snakes leaves all the piecs trapped.

2U 5R D kick-L U 3L kick-D(snakes) kick-D(wolves) 2L D kick-R U 2R kick-
D(wolves) R kick-D R 2D kick-L(snakes)

2L 4D kick-L D kick-L kick-R*2 3U R kick-D 3L 3D kick-R(snails) 3U R kick-D L 
3D kick-R(wolves)

3U R kick-D 2R kick-D D 2R D kick-L(squirrels) 3L D kick-L kick-R

      4-1-8.

Here you have bouncers which kick animals back and forth, and you need a 
little ingenuity to avoid the obvious pairings, which lose, so that you can 
sweep the wolves/lions in a circle.

Kick-D*2 2D L 2D kick-R 2U R kick-D 3L U L kick-D

Kick the right lion and move up right away. Block him so he winds up above 
the lower squirrel--go 2L and, after he crosses right, D and L. Kick him from 
below. U* L U kick-R(lions) R* D kick-D(wolves) D* kick-R(2) 5U 6L kick-D 6R 
5D 2L kick-R(swans)

2L 5U 2L kick-D R 5D kick-L(squirrels)

Kick the top gator left and block him so you can kick him to the bottom. Do 
so and kick him right, then kick the lion up.

      4-1-9.

A twisty little level that had me going for the save states a few times 
writing this up. Note you can warp between the top and bottom by going off 
the screen in the center(horizontally speaking) bit. And the arrows work by 
bouncing an enemy back at you if you kick one at them.

Kick everything off to the left to clear your way out. Kick the lion left.

Kick the UR blue right, down and left(you can warp through the top/bottom 
bit.) Kick the DL yellow right-up-left-up. 

Kick the UL lion right, up, left, up. Kick the R lion left(1 pair).

Now you just repeat, with a little care of course. Kick the DL wolf right and 
up and the DR blue left--but go 1L to stop it. Kick the cat L U(use the 
up/down warp) L U and left.

Now the squirrel. Kick the UR yellow left and go 2L. Kick the squirrel L U L 
U L. Even more legwork here but the next one is easier. Kick the lower wolf L 
U L.

Kick the upper yellow right, go 1R and block it. Kick it U L U. Kick the blue 
U L U. Whew.

      4-1-10.

This is a toughie because it seems you have to wedge one enemy in the corner 
without being able to get him out. However the trick is to have the following 
where you can base things:

  a
  b
c d

Match e and f(monkey/cat) bouncing them off d and then match the c's, then b 
and a.

D kick-L 2U 2L kick-D 2R 2D kick-L*2 kick the wolf up, the lion D and L. Kick 
each cat left. Kick the DR gorilla U and L and kick each cat left again. Kick 
the DR gorilla U and L.

Kick the DR lion left and the blue up and left. Kick the UR blue D L. Kick 
the lion up. Kick the DR yellow L U L. Kick the DR lion/wolf left then both 
up.

"Oberon rescued Chima from the sorceress Kymera and was rewarded with a magic 
wish."

    4-2.

Udon the bionic man of the 25th century must save his world from destruction 
after an invasion of rampaging aliens.

ATTACK!!

      4-2-1.

  A B
  | |
C D E F

f e d c

  a b

Kick F and c left 2x. Kick b up(match). Kick E and d left and a up(match).

Kick d left, D right and match them. Kick f right and E right and match the 
e's. Kick E left twice, e up and d left and up. Then kick one of the e's into 
the corner and let the other follow.

      4-2-2.

Two tricks with arrows. Go under the left of the turtly guys, kick him up, 1U 
immediately and 2L. Kick up for a pair and kick the turtly guy on the bottom 
right.

Kick the other turtly guy up, go up to block him, then left/down and kick him 
right.

On the center of the right edge, kick down at the two monsters(in quick 
succession to save time) to dissolve two pairs and kick down in the UR for 
two others. Then kick the final pair together.

      4-2-3.

Off the screen arrow action here. Kick right. R*-U*-R*-U* and kick up. Kick 
right for another pair on screen. L-U and kick the two adjacent guys right. 
R-D so you can kick the final guy left.

      4-2-4.

Kicking something and getting out of the way is a definite theme here. Don't 
worry about optimizing the number of kicks--slow and steady should be pretty 
fast as it is.

Go D-L and kick the turtly and go back right. Keep doing so util you can make 
it R-U. One down. Now take the brown eyebally one to the left and kick it 
left until you can stop it 1L of center. Kick it up and kick the one right of 
it right. It'll keep bouncing back until you can sneak down after kicking it.

Now kick the right green eyeball guy right until he bounces back 1R of 
center. Kick him up and then right and get out of the way. 3 down.

Go to the DL. Kick the car left and go R-U. You may need to kick it twice to 
lodge it in the DL. Then kick the next car left and keep going DR and kicking 
it back through the arrows until you can escape right, back to the center, 
after escaping. Let it go by and you have another match. Repeat mirrored for 
the other side.

      4-2-5.

There's a lot of looping around to get to the right guy to kick.
Kick D. Kick the gold left, kick-D(*2) 2D R 2D kick-L 2U L kick-D R 2D kick-
L(2 matches). Kick the orange bot on the right edge left.

Kick the golds into a pair, 3U kick-L and go to the UR. Kick the orange bot D 
twice.

Kick the left blue right. Go to the UR and kick the orange bot down and left.

Kick the top green down and the bottom U-R-U-L. Kick the guy on the left D-R-
R.

Kick the final R2D2 U L and the top one L D L D.

the egg down, 3R 2D kick-L. 2L 2D kick-L. Kick the golds together, 3U kick-L. 
In the UR kick-D*2. Kick the green eyeball L/D. Kick the left bluebot right 
and the UR  bot down and left.

Kick the bottom green guy U-R-U-L and the top guy down.

      4-2-6.

This is a clever one with 6 loops off the screen and you may have to use them 
all. Kick R2D2 left. Go down and kick that monster down and run up. Kick it 
up and go just above the top road. Now the two orange/blue eyeballers are on 
the same row.

Kick the green guy left and the bot up--don't worry where he lands. Kick the 
R2D2 2 right for one match, then right again. Kick the R2D2 in column 3 down 
and go up. Kick it up and stand above the top row street so you can circle 
around it. Kick it right(match 2) and then kick the green eyeball bot to the 
right and go left--shift it over one street-corner for later. Kick the right 
arm-bot down and then kick the green eyball-bot on the left down so it is 
left of the other. Now you can kick it straight right.

For the last bit just kick the two arm-bots onto the same row and kick one 
into each other. You'll have to bash them against yourself a bit, so you can 
just run after them kicking one way and stay still the other.

      4-2-7.

Go right and kick that green eyeball left and go U 2L. Wait for it to go to 
the left of its bounce back and forth and go down. If you goof up, kick it 
right again until you get it right. Then kick it down. Repeat, mirrored, for 
the other side.

In the DL kick-R 1R and when the monster freezes, L 2D 2R U kick-U. Repeat, 
mirrored, for the right.

      4-2-8.

Some tricks as to what to zap second. Kick the right orange guy down and move 
R so he has effectively moved 1U. Kick the UL orange guy down twice, backing 
up UL so you can kick it R D L and, boom, one match. Hit the center guy in 
the UR right, then bounce it down twice and get out of the way so it is at 
the top. 

Kick the former top icon D L D R D. Kick the top green eyeball L D R and kick 
the DR turtly left. Kick the lower eyeball so it lands at the 4-way 
crossroads after bouncing back left(may take twice) and then U and L. Kick 
the left hulk L D R D and the right one R and D and then R off the bouncer 
and try to duck right/up. This may take 2 tries to get out of its way, but 
once you do, you're done.

      4-2-9.

Tough to figure out the next few moves and even the next few after that are 
arduous, but even my first time completing this I still had 2 minutes left. 
So first, kick R2D2 left. 2L 2D R* kick the orange crab up, go right and kick 
it left. Then kick the other crab down onto it.

Kick the left R22 down and move down. Kick it down again and escape right. 
Kick it right and the eyeball next to it 1D. Kick R2D2 left and down.

Kick the turtle in the DL down so it runs back up by you(duck right) and kick 
the other turtle U R and the arrow will guide them to a collision.

Kick the DL green eyeball down and move up so it bounces around--kick it R 
then D to make another match. 3 more to go. Kick the UR tentacle guy left and 
if you are quick you can go 1L 3D and kick it back up after it hits you(if it 
gets ahead of you you can still kick everything into the bottom row--you just 
have to reverse the 2nd guy)--it'll be 2U2L of the bottom and you should head 
to the left of it. Kick its partner U R(arrow) and R for another match.

Kick the bottom armbot U, then the top one U. Kick the now-left one right.

Kick the bottom spidery brown guy right and go L. Take 2 kicks to make sure 
it goes up. Then kick the other guy in the UL U R and kick them together at 
the bottom.

      4-2-10.

Lots of back and forth here. Tough to decide what to place in the corner when 
space is low but note the orange eyeball must go to the other side.

    4-3. TARO

Everyone in school picks on Taro, telling him he is chicken. They said to 
join their club he would have to prove himself by sneaking into the haunted 
mansion.

      4-3-1.

Kick the crying guy near you L D R U L. Then R U kick-L 2L 2U 2R kick-D L* DL 
L D kick-R. Don't forget to kick the top white flame down--it looks like it 
would be an obstacle, but remember motionless <=>obstacle, motion<=>object to 
match.

      4-3-2.

Lots of symmetry here. Kick the crier L D L and the vampire L U L. Kick the 
pinkfaced bloody think and the death guy(black) left too. Go up top, kick 
pink D and 2D L D kick-R*2(pinks) R 3U R kick-D 2D R D kick-L(greens)

Go to the bottom and kick black up, then the blacks 2R, then the skeketon U 
and L--mirrored vertically from above.

Kick the werewolf R U R and the flame R D R.

Kick all 4 wizards down and kick one of the middle ones left and then right 
to win.

      4-3-5.

Kick the right guy down, then the 2nd-left D R D(match) and kick the flames 
down to the bottom and match them. Kick the right guy from above and the DR 
werewolf right and the right guy down again. Kick the DL guy D R(match 3) and 
the UL werewolf D R. Kick the UR grey guy D L D and the other guy D L for one 
matck. Kick both wizards U and one L/R into the other.

      4-3-6.

A very easy level--not sure what the middle deflectors are for.

Kick the D L grey R U and the wizard nearby U R. Kick them both into their 
twins and you can just keep going to the DL. Kick the flame L D and the 
purple whiner D L and kick both of those into their twins.

      4-3-7.

Cramped early but you can bust out. I think I found a more elegant way 
through the first time, but I can't remember it now. This uses a bit of a 
formula.

D L kick-D 2L 3U kick-R 2U 3R kick-D*2 2R 2D kick-L*2 3L D kick-L and kick it 
D R D and the other wolf L into it.

Kick the DR flame left and the top one down and repeat the cycle, then repeat 
again for the criers.

      4-3-8.

Kick the lower grey up and 2R for one match. Repeat for the magicians, 
kicking the upper D and 2L. L kick-D 2L D kick-R(wolves) R D kick-R and kick-
D the other guy. Kick-U the UR flame, 2R U kick-L U L kick-L L* 3D L kick-U.

      4-3-9.

Basically you need to juggle the items that there are only two of and it's 
actually pretty easy.

"Long, long ago, before fast food restaurants, Gonzo the stone age man was 
sent to defeat the wooly mammoth and return to his tribe with meat. Good 
Hunting!"

He says "Wo!" when he wins and "bummer" when he loses...weird.

      4-4-1.

Now kick the seal to 1D of the top. You can just kick him down, run down and 
kick him up and stay at the verytop. Kick the tiger U R U and the mosquito U 
R(around the screen) U.

Now move the seal to the left column. To do that, trap it in the center on

you. Kick it 1U of the bottom again. Kick the blue D L and kick it down and 
let it hit you from above. Kick the brown D L. Kick the seal down and up so

then kicl the DR lion L-U-U. Kick the mosquito L-U-U aid its friend U-R to 
win.

      4-4-6.

The whole map is one big loop, so once you are down to two items you can't 
really miss solving the puzzle. To get down to two, kick the bottom dinosaur 
right and move L U out of its way; it can hit you on the way right. It 
doesn't matter. Go back up top and kick the warrior right, the crab left, and 
the next green guy right.

Kick the tigers and warriors to the top and match them. Kick the dinosaur 
between the two greens down and kick the two greens together, then the 
dinosaur left. Watch it bounce all around before matching.

      4-4-7.

other blue and kick them together.

Bounce the left mosquito so it lands in the center and do the same for the 
other, so that one is on top of the other in the center and you can kick one 
of them twice to win the level.

      4-4-8.

Some matches have to be made before others. You need to decide which, and 
eliminate them in the right order, or two guys will be unable to align.

Kick the blue left.
Kick the red D L.
Kick the UL stegosaurus (spiky tail) R D.
Kick the dark green U, the unarmed warrior(DR) L U and the dark green R.
Kick the UL armed warrior D R.

DR skeleton U and move U so you can kick it L U L.

Kick the UR devil right twice then down for a match. Kick the D eel R U L.

      4-4-10.

Very tricky--you need to get all enemies on one side or the other and so you 
need to use what you have carefully--don't match until things are clear.

Kick the 2nd-top row in the center down, then the top one. Kick the DR 
warrior left then 2-u so it and the snake are parallel with its pairs. Kick 
the warrior left.

Kick the light green lizard and the grey blobby thing U and R so that only 
the snake is in the right of the center. Kick the bottom red L U. Match the 
snakes, R 2U kick-L, L U L kick-D R 3D kick-L and kick it back right. Kick

warriors. UR stegosaurus D L for another match and UL mosquito R D.

"Today he was lucky! Ah, there is nothing like a quiet family Bar-be-que. 
Yum!

    4-5.

"Little Mayumi has been invited to Biffs Birthday party.

"But to get there safely she has to cross thru the Rude Boys territory. Be 
careful!"

She says "Wow!" if you get through a level and "Sob!" if you give up.

      4-5-1.

Kick the UR cat R D L. Here you need to loop through the DR crosswalk. Kick 
the DR rude boy R U L--use the UR crosswalk. Mirror this for the UL cat and 
DL rude boy.

Push the UR car R D, the DR R U and the UL L D L and the DL L U L. There may 
be a quicker way weaving through all of this, but this is straightforward.

      4-5-2.

D 10R kick-U*2 and now kick the rightmost item right and up--repeat until you 
kicked the final car. (You can save a bit of time kicking two right at once 
and kicking the second right and up again.)

Now kick the DR cat up and left and kick the non-cars left on the way down. 
Then kick the bottom car up twice.

      4-5-3.

Kick the cat R D D R D D for 1 match.

Kick the stick thug R U D L and move U and L to stop him--between the trees 
is pretty good. Kick the gun thug L U and he'll crash into the stick thug.

Now kick the stick thug left and kick him left when the gun thug is under the 
left-arrow--or earlier if you are further to the right. Since they travel at 
the same speed you want them to meet so you can kick the gun thug up into the 
arrow--move later rather than sooner to be safe.

Kick the gun thug up twice. Kick the UL guy down and the DR guy left, moving 
1L. Kick him up to win.

      4-5-4.

Kick the DR yellow cat U L-twice and U and R-twice to crash it into the other 
guy. Kick the UL guy that looks like he's on his side right, go up and kick 
him down. Kick the DR redhead up twice and kick the DR kitty down and then, 
when it goes to the UL, down and then back left when it hits the bottom.

      4-5-5.

redhead left and the top one D R D into her.

      4-5-6.

Kick both redheads down and destroy the cats below 2(both down, 1 2R) and 
bounce the right upper cat right and move left so you can kick it D R. Do the 
same for the left cat, but D L. Destroy the four lavender aliens. Now do for 
the lazy guys what you did for the cats--kick the right one, go 2L and kick 
it D and R. Kick the left one, go 2R and kick it D and L.

      4-5-7.

Finding which loop to tackle first can be confusing.

U kick-U U 2R kick-R R D kick-D and kick the lower yellow cat 3 times to 
clear the path to the UL. Kick the UL cat twice right. Kick the one 1D1R of 
it up and then go to the UL to kick them together. Kick the top redhead to 
the right so the yellow cat goes flying, then the lazy guy, then the redhead 
again so the redheads match.

L U L the lazy guy and then kick the left purple alien twice. Pow. Kick the 
yellow cat down twice and the gun thug down--move up. Kick the purple alien L 
D and the yellow cat D L D and the gun thug D L D to win.

      4-5-8.

Kick the stick thug U L U R. R* kick-R 2L 2D 4R kick-U and match the whatever 
they ares.

Yellow cat D R U L. Kick the lazy guy L so one bag thug hits the wall and 
kick the other one U L U. Kick the UL lazy guy D R R. Kick the redheads U/D 
so they are next to each other then 2L to match them. Kick the bottom tiger 
up.

Kick the UL car U and L, the DR U L U. Kick the remaining two cats D and the 
L one right.

      4-5-9.

This level requires timing while an item is in mid-bounce. Kick U, kick L and 
kick the DR lazy guy D and the UR guy R D L D R. Kick the UL green-bag guy R 
D L D R.

Kick the UR kitty down and the UL yellow right for another match. Kick the 
right purple down, then the DR yellow kitty right and go 5U. Kick the kitty 
left so it collides with the moving one. Best to do it when the moving cat is 
1 square above your cat to make sure you destroy them. Kick the R cat left.

      4-5-10.

With more walking around than doing this doesn't feel like a "real" level 10, 
but there are enough places to trip up.

2L 3D kick-L and kick the UR cat left then down. Kick the the UL cat right 
then down and kick the redheads up and toward the corner for more matches. 
You can weave these together to save time if you want. Now repeat mirrored 
vertically for the bottom bits--stick thugs, lavendr DL goes R U, DR goes L 
U, match them, match the 4 lazy guys.

Kick the yellow cats down and the white ones up. Kick the DL cat right and 
up, the DR left and up and match them. Kick the UR left/down and the UL 
right/down and match them.

"At the party Biff had been waiting for Mayumi to arrive. When she walked in

    4-6. ANCIENT JAPAN

It is a time of chaos in ancient Japan. Many ambitious men are trying to be 
the ruler, but there is only one true ruler-young prince Suzuki.

      4-6-1.

There are three icons in a tower. Kick the center one D L D, then the top, 
then the bottom, which is now the right. Kick that on U L.

Kick the red armored guy down, then kick the DR guy(there's a sentry in the 
way, brown and red, you can't move by) D L U and the left guy R for a pair.

Kick the UR guy L D L.

      4-6-2.

I got trapped trying to pair the red guys a lot but fortunately you can use 
the other enemies to do that.

Label them as follows:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Kick the red guy L 3x. Kick the bottom lancer(8) 2x. Kick #3 L D L(pow) then 
2 down(pow again) and 7 up. Kick #4 R, #1 D, #6 L for the match. #9 D 
#7 D #7 R.

      4-6-3.

      a
      b
 a  + c
 b    d
 c

Kick left b right, right b left and down. Right c left, left c right and up. 
Kick DL d up/right. Kick left a right, top a down/right, top a down.

      4-6-4.

An inside out puzzle that baffled me for a bit. You can't trap pieces in the 
DL without getting really stuck, so you have to move a lot back up near the 
end.

D kick-D D* L D kick-L L D kick-R U R U R kick-D 2U 2R D kick-L and kick the 
dark warrior D L for a match. Kick the two ladies right for a match, the UL 
helmet guy D R, and then kick the left orange guy and right shepherd up. Kick 
the UL shepherd left, then the DL orange up and right. That leaves the DR 
shepherd to kick U L.

      4-6-5.

While I was under the impression you had to clear both guys beneath the dark 
warrior at first, you only have to get rid of one.

Kick golden guy down, 1L, kick down, 2R 2D kick L for a match and kick goldy 
D R. Kick red guy down 1 and 4L 3D kick-R and kick goldy down. Two more kicks 
down as you go that way. D* kick-L(2) L kick-U R 6U kick-L L kick-D R D* 
kick-L U 2R D kick-L. Kick the reds up and match them and do the same for the 
grey knights to win.

      4-6-6.

The key: don't knock a grey soldier into a corner unless you know you can get 
it out. There are only 4 on the outside you can move so move the right one, 
2L kick-u*2, 2R 2U kick-L, move the D one, 2U kick-l*2, 2D 2L kick-U. Now you 
can kick 2 blues together--the L and U one. Do so.

Kick the R blue soldier down*2. D. Kick-L*2, 2L, kick-D*2, D, kick-R*2. L D* 
3L 3U kick-R*2.

The rest is just mop up work though you need to make sure soldiers don't get 
lumped against the wall. Kick the top knight that is free to kick to the 
top.D 2R kick-U*2. 2U kick-L L* kick-L*2. Kick the stray knight to the right 
U 2L. Kick along the bottom row and then kick the 3rd-highest on the left. 
There are 3 pairs of enemies to polish, and that's easy.

      4-6-7.

There are probably a lot of ways to complete this level if you don't try to 
be too brilliant. Just isolate one pair at a time and it will go quickly 
enough, if not optimally.

Kick the DR dark warrior D L and the UL dark warrior R D R D for a match.

Kick the UL monk R D R D and the DR one L for another match.

Kick the UL orange guy D R.

Kick the robed woman D R and detour to kick the UL helmeted guy D L.

The gold guy can go D R D R too, and the other gold guy you can kick R*2. 
Kick both pairs twice from above to win.

      4-6-8.

If you're not careful you can glide through and think you're clever and get 
stuck with one pair, but a relatively painless in-between move fixes that.

Kick the right crossbow guy and upper orange guy twice to make a pair. Kick 
the top lady down 2* and the right blue ninja 2* to squeeze in the middle 
guys a bit.

1d and kick away to the left--2 pairs. Push the blue ninja left and kick the 
orange guy at the top down.

Kick the bottom blue warrior up and right, then the blue ninja. Kick the now-
right blue warrior up, the left blue warrior right, and match the two. Kick 
the left blue ninja right and up. Match the two ladies.

      4-6-9.

You'll probably fail to isolate a pair first time through--as you probably 
guessed, order is important.

Kick down. Kick the egghead left 3X. L* U kic-k-R D 2R kick-U*2. Kick the top 
blue guy down. Kick the UL egghead up and left. Kick the archers to the left. 
D R kick-U and kick the blue ninja right. Kick him right again so the lady 
goes right.

Kick the DR egghead U L. Kick the bottom lady up, the grey knight R D and the 
blue swordsman down to create a pair. Kick the black warrior U L and the blue 
ninja R D for a pair.

Cleanup now. Kick the minstrel and orange guy all the way up, orange guy 
right, and minstrel down. Bottom orange guy up and right. Dark warrior up, 
brown warrrior L D.

      4-6-10.

You just need to use the black warriors as anchors as you move guys to the 
other side. First kick the UR red right and the DL red U R U. Kick the left 
woman in red down and the black warrior down on her, then the blue D R.

Back right and kick the bald guy D L and his companion U L D to match. Back 
right again and kick the shepherd D L and his companion L D to match.

Kick the lower blue D R U for a match and kick the two remaining on the right 
side up so you can kick them left. Kick the red guys that started on the left 
to the edge too and now kick up twice.

Kick the near black warrior R D and the other two on the right to the right 
edge and into each other. Congratulations, you win the first set of 60!

"I've done it! I've finally got it!!"

"Hey, you've been playing TRICKY KICK on the 'Turbo Grafix' again!! Don't 
play so much even if it's so funny."


  5. SPECIAL

Special mode isn't especially more painful than regular xcept for the bonus 
countdown at the end, which takes FOREVER.

"Oberon, your friend Chima has been captured by the evil Sorceress Kymera. 
She has been hidden in the forest to the west. Can you help find her?"

    5-1.

      5-1-1.

Kick the yellow dog right and the UR lion up. Kick the UL rabbit up so it 
bounces left/right. Stop it on the left side of the exit down. Kick D R*2. 
Kick the UR lion L and L and stop it just left of center. Kick it D L.

Kick the DL lion D R and then D after it circles. Kick the UL rabbit R L and 
go 1L so you can push it D R. It'll be right of the tree--kick the rabbit DL 
of it right and kick it D.

Kick the blue guy D R and D after it loops. Kick the other one R into it.

Kick the cheetah up and stop it 1R of the left arrow. Kick it D and L and 
after it loops kick it D.

      5-1-2.

Kick the UR lion L D and the DL  U R*2. Kick the DR snail R U R and the upper 
snail D R. Kick the UR squirrel L D and the DL U R*2. Kick the UR dog L D L 
and the lower dog U L.

Kick everything in the UL all the way down. Kick the bottom row in the DR 
left. Kick the top row left, then the DR cat left and the top one down. Kick 
the top wolf D R.

      5-1-3.

You have to keep shuffling the tigers until near the end when you can finally 
kill them--in the meantime there are a lot of other animals to put into 
place.

Kick D squirrel down. Kick the bottom blue left for 1 match. Kick the  left 
cheetah left and go 2R so it stalls over the squirrel. Kick that up and left. 
Duck D L and when the squirrel goes right, 1U and it will come back left into 
you. Kick it up.

Kick the blue guy up and you will want to go right and stop it when it comes 
back right. Keep kicking it left until you can stop it under the left 
cheetah, which you should kick down so the blues are aligned. Kick them twice 
to match them.

Kick the left cheetah L, 1R and then when it stops kick the lion U and R off 
the arrow and go 1L. Now match the cheetahs. Kick the upper bear right twice 
for an easy match and kick the snake down, left and step on the UR arrow. 
Kick the snake down when it's still. Kick the red guy down and stop him when 
he's coming back right so you can kick him up. Do so, kick him right, kick 
the lion left and stop it by standing on the DL arrow. Kick it up to win.

      5-1-4.

Kick the DL yellow left, go 2R so you can walk around and kick the DL wolf U 
L U. Then kick the right wolf R(twice, probably, so it goes 3L of where it 
was) U L for one match.

Kick the UR yellow dog D R D and the other L(move 1R) D R--this saves time 
over a direct kick D R as you have to walk more.

You can repeat this process kicking the DR blue into the DR corner and 
kicking the other blue D L(until you move R enough to kick it D) and D and R. 
Kick the one lion U for an easy match and then kick the bottom cat/swan up, 
kick the UR cat right and go 1R(so the swans can match horizontally) and kick 
the one swan U L and the other cat U R.

      5-1-5.

Kick the snail L D and the rabbit U L(via the lion) and the red bear R and 
the lion U. Kick the middle bllue down. Kick the white swans left and the 
geese down(via the blue) and the top of the yellow dogs left.

Kick the middle snake D R, then the UL wolf down and the DL right for a match 
and the yellow dog left. Kick the blue D R and the wolf left. Match the 
snakes and kick the cheetah L D. Kick the bottom yellow dog L and the top 
down via the cheetah.

Kick the lions U and the cheetah L U and the L lion R.

      5-1-6.

Lots of double-pairs here with two elements in the corner, so you obviously 
don't want to match the pair that's free.

In the lower bit, blue down, wolf left, blue left into the swan. Kick the 
swan down and the blues right and match them. Kick the cheetah right and the 
UL one can go D R D.

Kick the lower goose L*2. Kick the swan L and the lower red bear L*2. Kick 
the wolf U L and the swan D. Kick the upper robot cat D L D. Kick the lower 
red bear L, the upper D L D.

Kick the D goose L, the U goose D L D. Pair the snails and woodchucks at the 
bottom. Kick the lions U. Kick one R and match the yellows. Kick the snakes 
up and match them. Kick the R lion D. Kick the UR lion L and match the 
squirrels and kick the lion D.

      5-1-7.

The only real trick here is lining up the yellow dogs and woodchucks that 
form a square. Everything else is pretty standard. Let's work left to right.

Kick snake/wolf left and wolf up. Kick the snails U/D once to loosen the 
cats/cheetahs you can match, then match the snails from below. Kick the goose 
up twice(2 matches). Kick the center woodchuck and swan up, then on the right 
kick each squirrel up/down so you can match the bunnies and blue guys. Match 
the squirrels and now clear the center bit.

Kick the DL lion up and the loose squirrel right. Kick the UL lion right and 
match the squirrels. Kick the UL baboon R D and the L lion right. In the 
column of 6 kick the snake/wolf left and the bottom red bear 2U. Kick the 
snakes up and the wolf L U.

Kick the UL right, the UR yellow D and the DL yellow L U and the right yellow 
L(match) then the U woodchuck D. The R woodchuck can go L D and the "new" R 
woodchuck L.

      5-1-8.

Kick the cheetah U, squirrel L and other cheetah U. Kick the lion down into 
the tin cat, then match the tin cats and then the blues. Kick the nearby lion 
U L for a match and the baboon U R U R for another.

Kick the rabbit pair left and the UR one L D and the R one L. Kick the D wolf 
left and the snake D R and match the cheetahs. Kick the UR yellow dog L D and 
the UR wolf R D L. Match! Kick the snake D R D R and the squirrel D R U. 
Clear the yellow dogs, the UR cheetahs and kick the UL lion R D.

      5-1-9.

Kick the UL lion D R D and the UR wolf D L D(the guys on the sides just need 
to be matched, so we discount them.) Kick the lower lion right, squirrel L-D-
R, the other squirrel L and squirrel-U to match.

Squirrel D R. Lion(DR) U L D R, pushing the wolf L as you go. Wolf U L D R 
and lion U. Squirrel L, lion L, squirrel U.

UR wolf D L D L and clear the right side. Kick both lions down--R D with the 
top one, then the rest is trivial.

      5-1-10.

You need to break up the middle structure and the use the wide open column--
you'll twiddle a lot of stuff with it. Kick the cat right and the snail L and 
go 1L, then kick the snail D. Kick the snake left and go right. You should 
block the leopard over the other one. If not you can kick the snake left and

  7. CREDITS

Thanks to the usual GameFAQs gang. They know who they are, and you should, 
too, because they get some SERIOUS writing done. Good people too--bloomer, 
falsehead, Sashanan, Masters(who showed me about MagicEngine,) Retro, Snow 
Dragon/Brui5ed Ego, ZoopSoul, War Doc, and others I forgot. OK, even 
Hydrophant in his current not-yet-banned message board incarnation.

Thanks to the other TG16 GameFAQs expatriates who made the TG16 a sort of 
holy grail to me. It took a while but I finally got around to it. You guys 
were/are good writers, too. Maybe if we'd known each other better this FAQ 
would've gotten written for earlier. As Holden Caulfield said--or something 
like it--"Once you start thinking, you start to miss everybody." That means 
even Doodleheimer and definitely you folks. Wherever you are, 
honestgamers.com or other places.
