The basic premise of the game is to guide the 'Brainies,' small bubblehead creatures, to exits of their corresponding color in each stage. There are a hundred and one stages to go through, meaning you'll be playing for sometime. This guide will take you through the basic gameplay and guide you through each puzzle individually. Instructions on how to play are detailed in the individual stage sections in the Super Nintendo walkthrough. New concepts are explained in the stages they first appear. Since this is a puzzle game, and since everyone reading this guide should have a good grasp of the basics of this game at that point, from Stage 77 on I will only be providing hints for each stage and not complete solutions. (Only some general strategies that will attempt to key inspiration in those having trouble.) I think that is keeping in line with the spirit of the game. _ | | _| |_ __ __ _____ ______ / |_| \ __ /\ \\ \ /\ __\ /\ ___\ //\^-^/\\ | 8| \ \ \\\ \ \ \ \__ \ \ \____ | \/v-v\/ |o| || \ \ \\\ \ \ \ _\ \/_____ \ | ____ |o| +| \ \ \\\ \INTENDO \ \ \___ENTERTAINMENT ___\ \YSTEM /'\\\_ // /'\|__| \ \_\ _\ \ \____\ /\_____\ \__\__)__/__/ \/_/\/_/ \/____/ \/_____/ The Brainies was announced for release on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1992. Titus was set to release the game simultaneously with the Super Nintendo version. The games were to be identical, however a public release of The Brainies for the Nintendo Entertainment System never came. With the release of the Super Nintendo version in 1994, it seemed this project was cancelled in the last days of life for the classic Nintendo. Rumors persist that a cartridge form of this game does exist as a prototype out there, and maybe it does. I have not seen it, but if it does exist it should be identical to the Super Nintendo version of the game. _____ / ______ __ __ / __ \ \ /\ ___\ /\ \\ \ / X/ \X\ __ \ \ \____ \ \ \\\ \ | | | |o/| | \/_____ \ \ \ \\\ \ | \__/ |o\| | ___\ \UPER \ \ \\\ \INTENDO /'\ **** /'\ |__| /\_____\ \ \_\ _\ \__\_____/__/ \/_____/ \/_/\/_/ Master Map Key _______________________________________________________________________ | Concept | First Appearance | Symbol | |------------|------------------|---------------------------------------| | Arrow | Stage 10 | < (left) > (right) ^ (up) v (down) | | Brainie | Stage 00 | G (green) Y (yellow) B (blue) R (red) | | Bomb | Stage 60 | 6 (green) 7 (yellow) 8 (blue) 9 (red) | | Bumper | Stage 30 | O | | Exit | Stage 00 | g (green) y (yellow) b (blue) r (red) | | Heart | Stage 05 | H | | Joker | Stage 07 | J | | Lock | Stage 50 | L (color designated by stage) | | Road Block | Stage 05 | - or | | | Teleporter | Stage 20 | 1 (green) 2 (yellow) 3 (blue) 4 (red) | | Timer | Stage 05 | T | |____________|__________________|_______________________________________| Cutscene 0 [CS0] We see the leg of a presumably beautiful woman, but the rest of the screen is black. A moment later the rest of the screen lights up to reveal a green Brainie in a sombrero with a pair of macarenas, on which are drawn women's legs. Stage 00 [ST00] _________ | | | _____ | | |G___g| | | | |_________| Stage 0 is extremely simple. All you need to do is select the green Brainie, represented here by the capital 'G,' and tell it to move right. It will run to the green exit, represented here by the lowercase 'g.' This format of maps will be used for the rest of the guide, with capital letters representing Brainies and lowercase letters representing exits. Stage 01 [ST01] ___________ | __ __ | | |gb| |YR| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |GB| |ry| | |___________| We have a repeat of the last stage, except now you have all four colors of Brainies now. Simply select the green and blue Brainies and send them up, then select the yellow Brainie and send it down. Send it to the right after that. Send the red Brainie down next, then send it to the left, and then down again. Do remember that you have to hit either the A- or B-button to unselect a Brainie. Brainies will move forward in whatever direction you send them until they hit something. This is where the challenge of the game lies, as later stages will require some interesting manipulation of where the Brainies go. Stage 02 [ST02] _________ | _____ | | |r _By| | | |G| | | | | | |_|R| | | |bY__g| | |_________| Here is the first stage where you actually need to be mindful of the other Brainies. Basically what you need to do is chose a Brainie, move it counter- clockwise, then move the next one counter-clockwise, and so on until you eventually have all of the Brainies resting on their respective exits. Stage 03 [ST03] _________________ | _ _________ | | |g| | _ _ | | | |R| | | | | | | | | | |_| |_| | |G| | | |_________| |r| | |_________________| Stage 3 looks kinda tricky at first, but is actually really simple. All you need to do is send the green Brainie up and then left, then send the red Brainie down, then right, then up, then right, and then down. Next send the green Brainie down, then left, and lastly up. The stage will be yours. Stage 04 [ST04] _________________ | _ __ | | |y|_ |Rr| | | |B_ |__ -- | | |_ |_ | | | |_ | | | _ |__ | | |_| |__Yb| | |_________________| Move the yellow Brainie left, then up, then left again. Now move the blue Brainie right and down three times to get to the exit. Next move the yellow Brainie up and left, up and left, and then up. Finish the stage by moving the red Brainie right. This stage is the first that you have to be absolutely precise, so make sure you do it in the exact order prescribed. Stage 05 [ST05] __________________ | ______________ | | |- |__| ___ | | | | |_ - | _| | | | | |_|H_ | | __| | | | | | | | b | | | |B__||__T| |__| | |__________________| Stage 5 introduces three new items that dot the field. The clock, represented by a capital 'T' here gives you extra time on the clock to finish the stage. The road block, represented here by the '-' symbol, stops your Brainies and will prevent them from passing. Lastly, the heart, represented by a capital 'H' in this guide, gives you extra points. The heart in this level is unreachable, so don't even worry about it. You only have one Brainie in this stage, so here are the exact movements to make to win: right, up, right, down, right, up, right, down, left, down, right, down, left, and up. Stage 06 [ST06] ___________ | _______ | | | _ | | | |R| | |y| | | |B- | |g| | | |GH T |b| | | |Y|_-_|r| | |___________| This stage looks complex, but really isn't. Simply move your red Brainie up, then right, and then down. Follow this by moving the blue Brainie in the same way (up, right, and then down). Next move the green Brainie right, then up, then right, and then down. This will allow you to snag both the heart and the clock. For the last Brainie, move your yellow guy up, then right, then down. The stage will then be complete. Stage 07 [ST07] __________________ | _ | | __|J|___ __ | | | ___ | |rr| | | |YY| | | |yy| | | |GG| | |__|gg| | | |RR| | - ___| | | -- |___| | |__________________| Stage 7 introduces you to the Joker, represented here by a capital 'J'. Start this stage by moving the right yellow Brainie up, then left. Do the same with the right green Brainie, then move the red Brainie up, left, and then up to the Joker. Next move the yellow Brainie down, then right, then up, and then right. Move the green Brainie back to the left, then move the red Brainie down, right, down, right, up, right, up, and then left. He's done, so now you need to move the left red Brainie right, up, right, down, right, up, right, and then up. The reds are done, so move on to the greens. Move either one to the left of the yellow Brainie below the exits (use a similar combination to the ones listed above), then move him up, right, and then down. Now go to the left yellow Brainie and move him beside his yellow friend below the exits. Move him up and stop. Now select the green Brainie you have on the exit and move him to the left green exit. Next move the remaining yellow Brainie up to its right yellow exit. Lastly, move the remaining green Brainie down towards the exits and place him on the right green exit. It's tricky, but you should be able to get it on these instructions. (The Joker doesn't do much now, but late in the game it will allow you to pass over a Bomb unscathed if you pick one up in the given level.) Stage 08 [ST08] _________________ | _____________ | | | T G| | | | ____G|_ | | |___gg| Y| | | | br R| | | |__y|___-____B| | |_________________| This stage has two parts which can be done in either order. I'll start at the top. Select either green Brainie, move left, down, and then right. Do the same with the other green Brainie afterwards. To complete the bottom part is a bit more complicated. Move the red Brainie left. Now move the yellow Brainie down, left, down, and then right. Move the blue Brainie up, left, down, and then left (but not up). Go back to the red Brainie and move right, then return to the blue Brainie and move him up. End the stage by moving the red Brainie left again. Stage 09 [ST09] ________________ | __ | | |G |_ | | |Y |_______ | | |R- gry| | | |Y ____gyr| | | |R _| | | |G_| | |________________| Move the top green Brainie right, down, then right again. Next move the bottom red Brainie right, up, right, and down. Move the bottom yellow Brainie right. Now move the bottom green Brainie up and right. Now move the top red Brainie down. Move the top yellow Brainie down, right, up, and right. Move the red Brainie right, up, right, up, and right. Finish the stage by moving the first the three Brainies on the bottom exits left. Move the original green Brainie down, then right. Move the other three Brainies back to the right to end the stage, Stage 10 [ST10] _______________ | ___________ | | |gB v v Yb| | | | | | | |> | J | | | | | <-----> | | | | - | | | |rG_______Ry| | |_______________| You gotta be really, really fast in this stage. Move the green Brainie right and up. Move the red Brainie left. Move the yellow Brainie down and right. Move the blue Brainie right. The arrow (represented from here on out as 'v', '^', '<', or '>' depending on the direction) will move him down automatically to the Joker. From here, move him right, up, right (the arrows will move him twice), and up. Finish it with the green, moving down, left, up, up (again because of the arrows), up (three times total), and left. This is the first forest-style stage, so enjoy the change of background. Stage 11 [ST11] _______ | ___ | | |rrr| | | |BBB| | | | | | | | | | | |RRR| | | |bbb| | |_______| Stage 11 looks pretty straight-forward, you just may be lost as to how to solve this one. Not to worry, this one is very simple. Move either of the side blue (or red, for that matter) Brainies down (or up, for a red) and then to the opposite side they begin on. Next move all of the other colored Brainies to the side where the opening is and move up and to the opposite end. Next move the other Brainies down into place. If that is kind of confusing, here is a step-by-step walkthrough: move the far right blue Brainie down and left. Now move the far right red Brainie up and left. Move the middle red Brainie right, up, and left. Move the last red Brainie right, up, and left. Move the first blue Brainie you moved down and right. Now move the middle blue Brainie down, then move the left blue Brainie down. Stage 12 [ST12] _______________ | ___________ | | | v RGBJ | | | | Tv --- <| | | |Y g|r -| | | |-- H v y| | | | b| - | | | |_______^___| | |_______________| This stage is a lot simpler then it looks at first. Move the yellow Brainie right, down, right, right, and up. Move the red Brainie left, right, down, left, down, and right. Move the blue Brainie right, down, down, left, left, down, left, up, and right. Move the green Brainie left and then right. Stage 13 [ST13] _______________ | ___________ | | |G v vg | | | | Y - | | | |R - v | | | | B> vb | -| | | |- - | y| | | |r______^___| | |_______________| Stage 13 has a lot of arrows. Start by moving the blue Brainie right, right, and left. Now move the green Brainie right twice. Now move the red Brainie right, down, and left. Lastly move the yellow Brainie right, down, right, right, down, left, right, and up. Stage 14 [ST14] _______________ | ___________ | | |R|T |b Jv | | | |B|- --- - | | | |Y|G | < | | | |-> | | | | | | | vR| | | |---- J G| | | |b-T | | | |_________^|_| | |________________| In my opinion, this is the first truly difficult stage. You have to use other Brainies as 'steps' in this stage, making the solution not very apparent at first. What you need to do is move the green Brainie left, up, and right. This will allow you to move the red Brainie down and left. Next move the yellow Brainie down, left, down, and right. Now move the blue Brainie down, left, down, left, and up. Now move the yellow Brainie right and down. Follow this by moving the green Brainie left, down, and right. Move the red Brainie down and right. Move the green Brainie left. Finish the stage by moving the yellow Brainie left, down, right, right, up, left, down, and right. Stage 16 [ST16] _______________ | ___________ | | | v v g- | | | | - | | | |J|Y | | | | |GBR v -| | | | ----> ^ b| | | |yr_________| | |_______________| This one isn't so bad. Move the yellow Brainie up, left, left, and down. Move the red Brainie right, then left. Move the green Brainie up, then right. Move the blue Brainie right, right, and up. Stage 17 [ST17] ______________ | ____________ | || |GY|| || -- -v BR|| || r| v -> || || ^ | || || b|gH T || ||___|y___^___|| |______________| Move the red Brainie down. Follow this by moving the yellow Brainie down, left, and down. Now move the green Brainie right, down, and left. Move the red Brainie left, left, down, right, and up. Move the blue Brainie right, down, left, left, down, right, and up. End by moving the red Brainie left. Stage 18 [ST18] _____________ | ___________ | || v || || > Brg|Y || || ----- || || ^ GyR|b< || || | || ||____|______|| |_____________| Move the green Brainie down, right, down, and right. Move the blue Brainie right, up, right, down, left, and up. Move the green Brainie up, left, and right. Move the red Brainie down, right, up, and left. Finish by moving the yellow Brainie right, down, left, and up. Stage 19 [ST19] _____________ | ___________ | ||RGB < b g|| || Y --- || || | ^ T|| ||> -r <|| || - > y- || ||_____^_____|| |_____________| Move the blue Brainie down, right, right, down, right, up, and down. Move the yellow Brainie down, right, up, right, right, down, and down. Move the blue Brainie right, up, and up. Move the red Brainie down, down, right, and up. Lastly, move the green Brainie down, right, up, right, right, and up to win. Cutscene 1 [CS1] A red farmer Brainie is sitting below a tree minding his own business. From out of nowhere a bull headbutts him and sends him off the screen. Short and rather pointless, but it is your reward for completing the first twenty levels. Stage 20 [ST20] _____________ | ___________ | || -|| ||> - - 1y|| || - -------|| ||b-- 2-r V Y|| ||--- < 2 B|| ||g1_G-____-R|| |_____________| You're now in the first of the water levels. You'll also notice this is the first level to utilize teleporters. They're color-coded, so they will only transport Brainies of their given color. For my maps I've coded them with numbers (i.e. '1' teleports you to the other '1'). From now on, '1' is a green teleporter and '2' is a yellow teleporter. To complete this stage, begin by moving the yellow Brainie left twice. Now move the blue Brainie up, left, and left. Next move the red Brainie up, left, left, up, and left to get him to his exit. Go to the green Brainie and move it up, right, down (through the teleporter), and left. Now move the yellow Brainie up, up, right, down, and right. Lastly move the blue Brainie left, up, up, left, down, down, left, and down. Stage 21 [ST21] _____________ | ___________ | ||- 1| 21g|| || | | <|| || | | |> || || | | |- - || ||GR|2| |r || ||BY|__y|bT__|| |_____________| (Remember that teleporter '1' is green and teleporter '2' is yellow.) This stage is fairly easy. Begin by moving the green Brainie up, right, up, and right. Now move the red Brainie up, right, down, right, up, right, down, right, down, left, and up. Follow this with the blue Brainie, moving up, right, down, right, up, right, down, right, down, and left. Lastly, move the yellow Brainie up, right, down, right, down, right, up, up, left, and down. Stage 22 [ST22] _____________ | ___________ | ||2 v || || |GB -R || || |------- || || |by| 3| || ||Y|-H| > g- || ||r|32|T_____|| |_____________| You'll now see the blue teleporter (labeled '3' throughout this guide). It is exactly like the yellow and green teleporters, except that is transports the blue Brainie(s). Move the blue Brainie right, up, right, down, left, up, right, right, up, and left. Once that is done, move the yellow Brainie up. Move the green Brainie right, up, right, down, left, up, right, and down. To finish, move the red Brainie up, left, left, up, left, and down. Stage 23 [ST23] _____________ | ___________ | ||r3 bG|R4 B|| ||Y | b|| ||g - |g 13|| || |-----|| ||R G|2 r|| ||B1__2|y_4__|| |_____________| If you've been paying attention, I'm sure you can guess that '4' is the sign for the red teleporter. They add that to this new feature to a rather complex stage. The key here is the order you move the Brainies. First move the yellow Brainie down. Now move the lower green Brainie up, left, and down. Move the right red Brainie down. Follow this by moving the right blue Brainie left, down, and right. Now move the right red Brainie back up, right, and up. Once you have done that, move the upper green Brainie down and left. Move the yellow Brainie right and down. Move the left red Brainie right and down. Move the left blue Brainie right. Now move the left red Brainie up and left. To finish the stage, move the left blue Brainie up. Stage 24 [ST24] _____________ | ___________ | ||G3Rb|rv g || ||2---- r|| ||yv -B || ||- Y---T || ||y -Y < 2 || ||___3______R|| |_____________| Begin by moving the right red Brainie up. Now move the blue Brainie right. Follow this by moving the green Brainie down, right, right, up, left, and up. Now move the right red Brainie down, left, and up. Move the left red Brainie left, down, right, right, and up. Move the blue Brainie back to the right. Move the left red Brainie down (your red Brainies should now both be on their exits). Move the left yellow Brainie down, right, up, left, and down. Move the right yellow Brainie down, down, right, and up. Finally, move the blue Brainie left, up, left, left, and right to win. Stage 25 [ST25] _____________ | ___________ | ||43rb|y 4 |2|| ||----- - |Y|| || G 3|-|| || -----R || || r|B g-R || ||__2______T_|| |_____________| Move the green Brainie right. Move the left red Brainie up. Now move the green Brainie left and down. Move the left red Brainie down. Move the green Brainie left and down. Move the yellow Brainie up and left. Move the left red Brainie left and up. Move the yellow Brainie up, right, up, and left. Move the blue Brainie down, left, up, and right. Finally, move the right red Brainie down, right, up, left, up, right, up, left, and right.

Move the green Brainie right, down, right, up, down, and right. Move the lower yellow Brainie up. Lastly, move the blue Brainie up, down, left, and up to win. Stage 27 [ST27] _____________ | ___________ | || |2y|Gr|| ||>r|4 ----13|| ||1<| B |T4b|| ||> | Y ----|| || |R- || ||g__3_____R2|| |_____________| This one is actually rather simple. Start by moving the green Brainie down, down, and left. Next move the blue Brainie down, left, down, left, and right. After that move the lower red Brainie left, up, and up. Switch to the upper red Brainie and move up and right. Finally, move the yellow Brainie right, down, and right to finish the stage.

Stage 30 [ST30] _____________ | ___________ | || R1 v Y || || - || || 3 b4 y|| ||- r|| || 4Og B 3 || ||__^__G____1|| |_____________| This stage introduces the bumper. If a Brainie hits the bumper, they will bounce back the way they came (but not necessarily to the same spot). Bumpers are represented by 'O' in this guide. To complete it, move the red Brainie right, left, and right. Now move the yellow Brainie left, left, left, and down. Go back to the red Brainie and move up, left, left, left, up, left, down, and right. Move the yellow Brainie right. Move the blue Brainie up. Again use the red Brainie and move up and left. Move the green Brainie up and left. To end, move the red Brainie right and up. Stage 31 [ST31] _____________ | ___________ | || | 4 g |g|| || |Oy12 || || --------- || || G2 || ||> 4 O 1- || ||R|_G_r__Y__|| |_____________| This one isn't too bad. Move the yellow Brainie left. Now move the red Brainie up, down, right, down, and left to get him to his exit. Move the upper green Brainie right, down, left, and up. Move the lower green Brainie up, right down, left, up, right, and up. Switch to the yellow Brainie and move left, up, left, up, right, down, right, up, right, and down for the win. Stage 32 [ST32] _____________ | ___________ | ||R4||| g r|| ||----- v - B|| ||b|YO|- G -|| || | 2| ^ 43|| || ---- < || ||3O2__y__H__|| |_____________| This one is really easy and all the Brainies can be done independently of each other. The solution I'm listing is the fastest I was able to find. Begin by moving the yellow Brainie down, right, up, left, left, down, right, and down. Now move the red Brainie right, down, left, up, up, right, and right. For the blue Brainie, move left, down, right, and up. For the green Brainie, move down, right, up, and left. Stage 33 [ST33] _____________ | ___________ | ||g v B|| ||- v Y|| || 3-- 3 G|| ||bO- 4 O R|| | -- -> ----|| | |____y|r4O|| |_____________| Move the green Brainie left, up, left, left, up, and left.

Move the yellow Brainie down. Move the red Brainie up. Move the blue Brainie right and up. Move the upper green Brainie up, left, and down. Move the yellow Brainie right, up, left, and down. Stage 37 [ST37] _____________ | ___________ | || Y yO || ||O G g r|| ||b 3v O O || || ^ -> || ||B> ^3 <-v|| ||R-^_____^<_|| |_____________| It's the bumper revenge! Move the yellow Brainie down.

Stage 58 [ST58] _____________ | ___________ | ||r 3 L 1|| || |L---- || || |1BYB| || || |3YRG|H 4|| ||L ------ 2|| ||4L_g|by_2by|| |_____________| At this point in the game I'm going to assume anyone reading this can manage a couple of things on their own. Rotate the Brainies in a circle (this will result in moving the one of the blue Brainie out of the middle via the teleporter) until you get the green Brainie through the green teleporter. Once this happens, move the green Brainie either left to the green Lock, or manipulate him through the teleporter again until you can get him through the Lock (this is a lot easier than it sounds). From there move one of the blue Brainies down to the bottom-right Locks. Eliminate these and then move the green Brainie to his exit. Move whichever blue Brainie you have by the Locks around to the blue exit right through the wall of the green exit. From here, getting to the other exits shouldn't be too much trouble for someone whose played the previous fifty-seven levels. Stage 59 [ST59] _____________ | ___________ | ||r L || || ----- b|| || |O|O| g|| || | |--L--|| || |GBR|T ^ 3|| ||4|134|-__1_|| |_____________| Honestly, this level is more of a speed challenge than anything else. If you need help, move the blue Brainie down, left, up, left, and right. Move the green Brainie down, left, up, right, right, and down. Move the blue Brainie right and down. Move the red Brainie down and up. Cutscene 3 [CS3] A blue Brainie climbs a sand hill in the middle of the desert. At the top is a spicket he quickly turns, but instead of getting water it activates a huge geyser of oil.

The Bombs are introduced here. Touching one that matches the color of the Brainie you're controlling will result in the death of said Brainie. If you do this, you cannot beat the level. Strangely you do not instantly lose, but instead must wait for the timer to run out. It's annoying, but that's the way the game operates. If you're smart, the Bombs here ('7' is yellow, '8' is blue) won't even be a problem. To beat this stage, move the yellow Brainie up. Move the green Brainie down and right. Move the blue Brainie left. Move the green Brainie up, right, down, up, left, down, and right. Move the blue Brainie up. Move the red Brainie up, right, right, up, left, and down.

Stage 62 [ST62] _____________ | ___________ | ||g J 2 HO b|| ||9--------- || ||1|621-GR |B|| ||4|4 LLLY | || || -------- || ||7y_r|O_T___|| |_____________| This level is all about getting out of the middle area. You need to rotate the Brainies like you did in Stage 58. Once that is done, utilizing the teleporters and getting to the exits shouldn't be any trouble. This level will give you practice on how to avoid the Bombs, a skill you'll need to master. Stage 63 [ST63] _____________ | ___________ | ||2LLyG| 2r|y || ||3 | 3|>R g|| ||8b|B4|___1_|| |_____________| This is another very straightforward level. With the large amount of time granted for this level, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting through it without any help. The only thing I caution you on is to make sure that you don't hit the blue Bomb with the blue Brainie. (To avoid this, move the blue Brainie right, up, right, and down.) And, yes, while there are two yellow exits, you only need to have the yellow Brainie on one of them to win.

You get points for each one you unlock, so if that's your thing go for it. Otherwise just ignore them. With that in mind, this level should pose no serious problem and can be done in a variety of ways. Enjoy the small reprieve while you can...

Stage 77 [ST77] _____________ | ___________ | || LR|2 g| 72|| ||LHb-- -- Y || || 84|L|4 BL|| ||G6>T|L|> -L|| || 1 -- --bJ || ||> B|3y1|r 3|| | ---|_-O|--- | |_____________| Since this is a puzzle game, and since everyone reading this guide should have a good grasp of the basics of this game, from here on out (with a few exceptions) I will only be providing hints for each stage and not complete solutions. I think that is keeping in line with the spirit of the game. Extremely difficult puzzles will be exempted, but all other superfluous levels will be displayed in this manner. so for this stage I suggest eliminating the Locks on the left side first, the right side second, and the middle third. You will need to block Teleporters in order to unlock those in the middle. You will also, at one point, need to send the red Brainie through the red Bomb, but only do so after you have gotten the Joker. Stage 78 [ST78] _____________ | ___________ | ||yLL | 71-Yy|| ||g6- |L---rL|| ||R3-G| b-4 G|| ||-L24|LO 9T || ||B Y| ---gJ|| ||1_^6|382->y|| |_____________| After the last few stages, this one is surprisingly easy. Some key things to keep in mind here: the order you do this is important, as always. However you essentially have two seperate puzzles here. The Brainies on the right and the red Brainie operate almost completely seperate from the other Brainies. You will unlock all the Locks here except the central green Lock (in fact, do not unlock it). This stage should not pose much of a problem really, so just keep this ideas in mind and you should do fine. Stage 79 [ST79] _____________ | ____ ____ | || vY --- 3 r|| ||G 4-YL4-JLL|| ||> 3L--rb RT|| ||J2 L11-2 B<|| || Lg- LO R L|| ||byL9-OBL_Ty|| |_____________| Another fairly simple stage. Use the Locks to your advantage as stoppers; you do not need to unlock all of them. This stage is essentially about how well you can do that and little more. Cutscene 4 [CS4] A green astronaut Brainie is jumping across a brown moon when a space lander suddenly drops on him and sends his green guts everywhere. Just a little bloody. Stage 80 [ST80] _____________ | __ | ||Rb|________ | ||g|3 L 9Y1J || ||2|--- ---- || ||L| Gvy|L|| ||13^4r -2 || ||----- --L|| ||7_B___-_4T_|| |_____________| I'm not quite sure exactly what these ten levels are all about. They're a brownish hue and look kinda like dirt. As for the contents of the stage, just open all the Locks and you'll have no trouble finishing this place with plenty of time. Stage 81 [ST81] _____________ | ___________ | ||72vJYT|23LY|| ||L 4G7B--OL-|| || rg--H 6LGb|| ||RJ- LL 164|| || -b1 JB <|| ||L9_yy__2g_T|| |_____________| To complete this stage, you need to unlock all the Locks. From there it's just trial-and-error until you get the Brainies positioned so you can get to each of the exits. You have so much time in this stage that it really shouldn't even be a factor. Stage 82 [ST82] _____________ | ___________ | ||13 G|7 Y3H|| ||64O-- --- 1|| || |924L |>r|| ||LL| 6 R| || ||L2J ----6<|| ||B^^yg____bJ|| |_____________| This is another stage where getting rid of all the Locks is key. Do this, then do the usual arranging to get to the exits. Also take advantage of "blocking" teleporters by placing a Brainie on the opposite end of one. Stage 83 [ST83] _____________ | ___________ | ||7JbB yvgJT || ||g G-R^b --L|| ||-LL------1 || ||7LL-G -7Y || ||L2LL -y<|>6|| ||YLLL17r2|B8|| | -------7--- | |_____________| You'll need both of those Jokers. Get them, then start taking out the Locks from the top-left side, working your way down. From there, you'll need to take out two of the yellow Bombs in order to complete this stage. Stage 84 [ST84] _____________ | _________ | | |RvL J y || | _|b L748LL<|| ||Gr L J1 y|| ||b2J4OY-2Y-B|| || 13-67---|- | ||T_gH_3L7B| | |_____________| Again you're going to need all three of those Jokers. You'll be using them mostly because of the teleporters. Once you clear some of the junk off the field it will be a lot easier to see what needs to be done. When I did it, I elmiminated all of the Locks except the uppermost red one. That one turned out to be a needed stopper. Stage 85 [ST85] _____________ | ___________ | ||YvOy 7|rg R|| || -14vb 4L || || 3L2b 1BO || ||>J LOT36L J|| || 2 LL Gb|| ||> L| |4J<|| ||y8<| |> 2|| ||_4Y2| |g138|| |_____________| Aside from sending the red Brainie through the teleporter to take out the red Lock on the right, both of these sides are totally independent of each other in their solutions. Remember that sometimes seemingly obvious solutions are actually the right course of action. Stage 87 [ST87] _____________ | _ | | ____|2|____ | ||3 Yb| <|v y|| || T7-1>J-Y> || ||8--3L --4J|| ||J 1-GL4-4 <|| || OB -R-B G2|| ||_8gLy-_Lg_b|| |_____________| Your Jokers will be used to get the right blue Brainie to the right blue exit, so don't even bother trying to find a way around that. Again both sides are fairly indepedent, although you will need to move the Brainies in the middle to one side or the other. The exception here is that you need to move the right yellow Brainie into the middle to unlock the yellow Lock. Stage 88 [ST88] _____________ | _________ | || |Y 1b Yy| | || |L|L2T2<|_ | || J |grJLL y|| ||RG --L--4 3|| ||> 9Y7---L|| ||_BL_T314y|_|| |_____________| This one is really easy and I don't think any hints are needed.

That, and making sure you don't get a red Brainie stuck in an endless loop on the far left. To avoid this, when you get to that point, move the left red Brainie down and left to gte him on the red teleporter, but in such a way that he can sit there. Next move the green Brainie to the upper left corner, then cover its teleporter with the blue Brainie. Slide the green Brainie past the green teleporter, then move the blue Brainie through the blue Lock and atop the red teleporter. Move the green Brainie into place, then bring the red Brainie down past the lue Brainie, but leave an opening so the blue Brainie can slid into place first. Then simply move the red Brainie into its exit. Stage 90 [ST90] _____________ | __________ | | | L v rgb3|| || L -J Y|| ||6167 > || ||---2J 3 || ||2 L R|| ||_yB__|_G_1J|| |_____________| You're in the homestretch and it looks like the next ten levels resemble a lava field of some kind. Surprisingly, they're going easy on everyone with the first level of this set. This shouldn't pose any trouble for anyone who has gotten this far already. Stage 91 [ST91] _____________ | ________ | | __|y T 2 J3|| || Y7- - R|| ||r JLL8 || || >GT6L HT b|| ||9 1 3 4B| | ||_J_7214__g| | |_____________| Another really easy one. With all the exits along double ledges, this stage needs no hints to figure out. Stage 92 [ST92] _____________ | ___________ | ||BL r|6J G|| ||BLLJ2|1 TJ || ||yL943|--L--|| ||--L--|34LLR|| ||b 2|1 L b|| ||Y8J_r|_LR6g|| |_____________| You're killing me Titus! These levels are much easier than the last batch. This one requires some interesting manuevering, but with all the Jokers you should have no fear of trial-and-error here. Stage 93 [ST93] ______________ | ___________ | ||1 LRJ6 y|r| | ||27Y|4 gLY| | ||L--------- | | ||G|J G|J R|3| | ||3|12YL |Bb|| ||g|4_9|H_TLr| | |______________| Yet another easy-off.

Move the right yellow Brainie right, up, right, and left. Move the blue Brainie right, up, and left. Move the upper green Brainie right and left. Move the left yellow Brainie down, right, up, right, down, and right. Move the upper red Brainie down, right, up, and left. Move the upper green Brainie down, right, down, right, and down. Move the upper red Brainie right and down. Move the upper green Brainie up, right, down, and right. Do the same with the lower red Brainie and the lower green Brainie. Move the upper red Brainie right to the red exit. Move what is now the lefttmost green Brainie down. Move the rightmost yellow Brainie to its exit as well. Move rightmost green Brainie down, left, up, right, down, and right. Move the rightmost green Brainie right and up. Move what is now the rightmost red Brainie down, right, up, and right. Move what is now the upper yellow Brainie left and down. Move what is now the upper red Brainie right twice. Move the yellow Brainie you just moved up. Do the same with the now upper red Brainie. Move the other red Brainie right. Circle the far right yellow Brainie and the two green Brainies until you have one of each color on the right exits. Move the remaining green Brainie through the right green teleporter from the right side so he comes out the left side on the other teleporter. Move the upper red Brainie right off his exit and move the green Brainie up and right. Move the displaced red Brainie right, down, up, right, up, right, and down. Move the right yellow Brainie right. Move the blue Brainie down. Move the red Brainie left, up, right, down, and left. Move the upper green Brainie down. Move the yellow Brainie left. Move the blue Brainie back up. Give yourself a pat on the back for completing the most complex stage of the game. Stage 99 [ST99] _____________ | ___________ | ||YRLgb2 4yy|| ||6L83 L r-L|| ||>8L9 L^ 4 || ||RBLbL 3v7L|| ||LGL >^9r8LY|| |_____________| Almost done. This stage is pretty tough, I won't lie. It is not impossible, however, and offers you your real final challenge in the game. Good luck! Cutscene 5 [CS5] 'The End' appears on the screen, but quickly a '?' falls beside it. Then an old man appears and speaks: "I am master of the game! Who are you to wake me up? So you think you are good? So prove it!" Stage 100 [ST100] _______________ | _ | | ___|r|_____ | | |789GvLRO L | | | |6|>38Y--B|3| | ||Jg|4T<1|4^|T| | | | yg6r8|8JL | | | |------J- --| | ||G7L21|R2L9LYy|| ||6^_-----b---| | |_______________| For some time now I had thought this level impossible, but Omagaminion sent me a link to his youtube video of the solution. You can find the video yourself, with the ending, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_ndn93RO-8 I recommend watching the video for the solution, but for completeness sake I will describe what to do. Move the top green Brainie left. Next move the top yellow one down. Next move the green one again up, left, and then down. Move the yellow one to the right. Move the top red one left, down, and then right. Go back to the green one from before and move up and then left. Go to the other green one and move right.

Cutscene 6 [CS6] A series of scenes follow. First we see a red Brainie farmer under a tree who gets struck by a bull. Next is a green Brainie skating on some ice when a killer whale bursts through and eats him. We then go to a desert where a blue Brainie is crawling on a dune. He finds a faucet and tries to use it, but only oil comes out. We now move to the a planet surface in space with the moon in the background. A green Brainie astronaut hops around only to be crushed by a lander. We then return to the legs from the very beginning and then see a shoulder. Lights come on and reveal the same Brainie from before, only this time one of his maracas has a female shoulder on it. At last the old man from the last scene appears and asks if he may call you master? The credits then follow. _____ ______ /_____\ /\ __ \ _ /|_ _|\ _ \ \ \_\ \ |=| |_| |=| \ \ __/ '-| |-' \ \ \/ASSWORDS /'\ ===== /'\ \ \_\ \__\_____/__/ \/_/ On the password screen, accessed by pressing Select on the title screen, input the following Brainie combinations to access these stages.
