I got some suggestions so I added how to defeat Puzzles #1-80. I have also gotten rid of the review. It's a FAQ, not a review. Ok, this version is going to be a lot better. 1.0= Added another site that could use my FAQ. And did some re-editing. 0.9= Everything is new, and I'm not going to update it unless I have a good reason +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |C|o|n|t|r|o|l|s| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Joystick= Is used to navigate through the menus, and aim your bubble-shooter A BUTTON= Used to enter stuff on the menus and shoot your bubble-shooter B BUTTON= Used to go back. If you HOLD B and then go left and right, it will fine tune the angle of your bubble-shooter +-+-+-+-+-+ |M|o|d|e|s| +-+-+-+-+-+ PUZZLE= This is the main part of the game. After you beat a level (by clearing all of the bubbles w/o dying) you unlock the next puzzle. This can go on forever I belive. I am so far up to #93 (as of last update.) VS-CPU= You must go head-to-head against 8 CPU characters, and after you beat all eight, you can start all over again SURVIVOR= Impossible to beat, you just try to survive as long as you can in this mode. GAME OPTIONS= Sets the usual stuff, difficulty bla..bla..bla +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+ |P|u|z|z|l|e| |M|o|d|e| +-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+ I will help on the Puzzles which have an easy shortcut to complete the puzzle is fewer time, even under 1 second! #1: Get a clear path to the yellows at the top of this level and then pop another yellow onto it to pass the stage. #2: Here just match up the colors. If you get one that is already gone, or can't reach, just stick it anywhere, but don't block off the passage to the color it is placed under. #3: Get a yellow & red bubble to there respected sides. It is sorta hard without the aimer. Place all other colored bubbles elsewhere, and don't block off the narrow path to the red and yellow bubbles. #4: For the magic star closest to you use green, then the next, blue. It will leave you with just one yellow left to take care of, then you will pass the Puzzle. #5: Here just knock the bubbles off as fast as possible. Bounce them off the wall to get them where you want them to get easier. If you get an orange first, you can finish this puzzle in under a second!! #6: This one takes some time. Get the magic star with a grey bubble. Then get the rest off of the top row which can take some time. #8: Place the bubbles where they belong. Keep the path to the top pinks and oranges clear for an easy pass. #10: All multiples of 10 (and Puzzle #1) are widescreen puzzles. Just get to the top yellow bunch, then hit it with a yellow to complete the level! #11: Just shoot the bubbles wherever and keep the path clear for the top pinks. #12: Use the two magical bubbles for a black bubble, and a grey bubble. #13: Once you get rid of the big circle in the middle, get a blue and pink bubbles up to the top to clear the Puzzle. #14:Here, just pile bubbles until a grey one comes a long. Then so you can clear the bottom rows. Then do the same to the last three rows. #15: Pretty easy. Just blow off the black and blue bubbles. #16: Try to clear one side, and then bounce a pink bubble up to the top and then you will clear the stage. #18: Knock off of the bubbles that are underneath the greys. Then once you can reach the magic bubble, use a grey bubble to clear the stage. #20: Easy. You get to shoot a magic bubble. Use it to knock out the gryes then try to clear out the rest by hitting the top blue bubbles and red bubbles. #21: Simple. Try to clear out a path to the top blacks. Bounce off a wall if you have too. #22: Once you get rid of the first row of junk knock off the red and green rows. #23: Alien man. Just try to clear out a path to the top pink bubbles of this puzzle. #25: Use the magic bubbles on an orange bubble and green bubble. You will then clear the stage. #30: Clear out the greys first with the magic bubble. Then clear out the black bubbles near the top. Then knock off the blue and red bubbles at the top. #31: Clear off a side to expose the chain of grey bubbles. #32: Break through to the magic bubbles. Use a red and green bubble to clear out everything. Then use a yellow for the remaining bubbbles. #33: Use the angles right to get a orange bubble into its correct place to clear this stage. #34: Fishy I. Clear out the Fish heard to get to the orange bubble at the top. Clear that- Clear the level. #36: Try to get a red bubble up to the very top as soon as you can. #38: Get to the magical bulles and use a pink bubble on it then get more grey bubbles to the last one to clear the stage. #39: Clear a path to the two red batches at the top to clear this stage. #40: Get a pink bubble to the pink bubble chain to clear the level. #41: Fishy II. Clear off the back fin of the fish to reach the top. Clear off the top pinks to clear this stage. #42: Try to clear out the green bubble masses. #44: Just clear out as high as you can to quickly/easily clear the level. #47: Clear out to the magic bubble, and use a grey bubble on it. #49: Clear out to the green bubbles. Then after you clear it, get rid of the yellow and red bubbles. #50: Just get the pink bubbles on there ASAP for an easy clear. #52: Heart. Clear out the bottom of the heart, and then knock off the top red bubbles. #54: Clear to the magic bubble and use a grey bubble on it. Then get rid of the remaining bubbles. #55: Clear paths to the top three colored bubbles. #59: Clear a path to the top red bubbles at the very top of the puzzles. #60: Clear out the masses to a clear shot at the top greens and yellow bubbles. #62: Clear out the sides to get to the V of green bubbles at the top. #63: Clear your way to the top and get the yellow and grey bubbles. #65: Use a green bubble on the bottom magic bubble. Use a grey bubble on the higher up magic bubble to complete this stage. #66: Clear to the top red and grey bubbles. #70: Clear out the masses to a clear shot at the top greens and yellow bubbles. #77: Bounce a shot off the wall into the top grey bubbles. #78: Clear out to get a clear shot at the top grey bubbles. #79: Clear out to the top to get a easy shot at the top. #80: Take your time to clear this stage, and take out those color bubble blocks. I feel up to Puzzle #80 is high enough. If you have gotten this far, you should be able to get the picture. I didn't help you on a few, and for them this is the advice... "Take your time to clear this stage, don't panic and keep trying" +-+-+-+-+ |T|i|p|s| +-+-+-+-+ You can bounce the bubbles off the walls to get them where you want. 5^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^7 | *** | | * ** | |/ +++ | |\ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | L------|-^-|------J If you do not know where to place a bubble, place it underneath a two bubble combo, but do not block it off completely... Then when you hit the other combo off, the extra bubble will also fall. This is important in VS-CPU. Here it is in two phases... --1-- 5^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^7 | *** | | * ** | |/ + | |\ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | | \ | L------|-^-|------J --2-- 5^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^7 | || || | | \/ \/ | | | | || | | \/ | | | | **** | | ** | | + | | | | | L------|-^-|------J +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |C|l|o|s|i|n|g| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ This FAQ is copyrighted by hailjh year 2000.
