Puzzle Boy(Turbografx-16) FAQ/Walkthrough version 1.0.0 by schultw.andrez@sbcglobal.net(anti spam spoonerism) Please do not reproduce this FAQ for profit without my prior consent. However, if you write a polite e-mail to me referring to me(and this FAQ) by name, then I will probably say OK. But if I ignore you that means no--and I am bad about answering e-mail. Sorry. Note: I am claiming this FAQ complete though I have not solved all the levels. I have proven adequately to myself that three are impossible. Pro-9, Pro-10, and Pro-18. However, in those cases, I have presented a solution that would be 95% complete even if I were missing something stupid. ================================ OUTLINE 1. INTRODUCTION 2. CONTROLS AND RULES 3. GENERAL STRATEGIES 4. LEVEL MODE 5. CHALLENGE MODE 6. CHEATS 7. VERSIONS 8. CREDITS ================================ 1. INTRODUCTION Puzzle Boy is a sort of port from the Game Boy, from the game of the same name, which is known in the US as Kwirk. You, a potato, need to flip through turnstiles and move blocks out of the way--or fill pits with them to make floors--to get to the stairs. Enough stairs, and you meet your one true love, a tomato. You also have a random challenge mode of slightly smaller floors, but each version has 4 difficulty levels. There are 2 player challenges, but if you play them too long, it comes down to memorization. Puzzle Boy has some pretty entertaining puzzles, and while the levels may be harder on average than the GameBoy counterpart, there are more of them. One word of caution, though: I believe that a few of the Pro levels are outright impossible. Email me if I am wrong, but basically you are forced to block an exit in a couple of levels. Perhaps I am missing a dumb application of a rule. KingMike translated this game, but it doesn't quite work on the Magic Engine emulator, which is my favorite. It works okay on Ootake and Mednafen, the ones he tried. Still, you can play an untranslated version just fine. Level mode is the first option, challenge the second. Push button 1 or 2 til you get results. His translation is hosted on romnation.net and kingmike.emuxhaven.net. Check out his work! 2. CONTROLS AND RULES Button 1/2 will reset the level. You have no takebacks. You can move in the four basic directions. Here is what happens in case of obstacles. 1. you cannot walk over a pit, whether or not it is hidden by part of a block above it 2. you can push a block if there is no resistance 3. you can enter a turnstile if 1) nothing is blocking where its doors will go, 2) there is no block in the square diagonal to the center where each door goes, and 3) you do not land in a pit. Doors can pass over a pit, but you can't. Blocks fill in pits IF they would entirely fall in. Otherwise you may have to wiggle the block out. Occasionally you'll get a pit a block just walks over. There is no way to discern this til you find it, but it only happens on the later levels. 3. GENERAL STRATEGIES More textbooky advice in the next update maybe. Basically, don't shove anything against a wall til you can see how to get it out. Plot which block needs to go in which hole. Work backwards whether through turnstiles or hole. Look for ways to toggle a brick you need that is blocking another brick without it touching an edge you can't peel it off. Decide whether a piece can be junked to the side or is needed for a bridge. You can twiddle a 1-block around a T-shaped turnstile. An extra turn of a turnstile may put it in the right position. Oh, and never seal off the exit without a good plan. 4. LEVEL MODE Level mode has 4 sets of 20 puzzles. You must solve the first 16 in a set to get to the last 4. If you solve all 20, you get to see the ending credits. There is no difference in endings among the four modes. While one puzzle in an earlier mode may be harder than one in a later, there is generally a substantial curve from one level to the next, and by the end you often have to make an easy move first you know is going to be wrong, but you have to figure out why later.

CHALLENGE MODE In challenge mode you have 10 puzzles to solve in 5 minutes. No tricky pausing the game with the menu, either, though you can pause with an emulator. Rooms are half their usual size, and they often focus on part of the solution you might see in a level-mode room. So these can be good practice for the real deal, if you don't want to cheat outright by looking in section 4. * to fill in later * 6. CHEATS The map of the level starts at 0xa974 in a PCE file. First, you have a 16x16 map of what you can see. Then, you have a 16x16 map of where the holes(0x34) and spaces(0x2f) are. You can edit this to get through as you please. The graphics for the whole screen are refreshed when you push a block. Beat the impossibles this way. You can tinker with the turnstiles, but I like to keep it simple by only adding floor space(2f) or a hole(34) to either of the two maps. End of FAQ Proper ================================ 7. VERSIONS 1.0.0: sent to GameFAQs 4/2/2008, level mode complete except for the impossibles. Challenge mode later. 8. CREDITS Thanks to GameFAQs for being, well, THERE. Thanks to the usual GameFAQs gang, current and emeritus. They know who they are, and you should, too, because they get/got some SERIOUS writing done. Good people too--bloomer, falsehead, Sashanan, Masters, Retro, Snow Dragon/Brui5ed Ego, ZoopSoul, War Doc, Brian Sulpher, AdamL, odino, JDog, Lagoona, Da Hui and others I forgot. OK, even Hydrophant in his current not- yet-banned message board incarnation. I am not part of his gang, but I want him to be part of mine. Thanks to the old TG16 folks at the GameFAQs review board. You guys intrigued me even when we all had our writerly spats and silent sulks. Maybe one day I'll try a game that actually uses a good chunk of its power. Thanks to KingMike for the translation and odino for the suggestion. I felt smart about this. I tore through it a lot quicker than I did Kwirk. It's much more fun than Boxxle, maybe because the levels aren't so ungodly huge, and they actually have variety.
