Cheats VII. Conclusion I. Introduction The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is among the very few games I call impossible. However, I did beat the game, so now we know it is beatable. :) I was surprised to see the lack of information and help with this game over the net, so I decided to make an FAQ to simply motivate the player to play through the game, and know that it is possible to beat. I have had this game for, gosh, has it been 12 years now?!; and finally, after countless amounts of times, I have finished it! My goal is to help you get through the game, and see more than just a few Bullwinkle Levels. II. Characters 1. Bullwinkle: A Moose. His museum has been robbed by Boris, Natasha, and their master, "Fearless Leader." He and Rocky wish to restore the museum, but it won't be that easy. 2. Rocky: A Squirrel. Supposedly Rocky can fly, but he doesn't use it to his advantage all the time. Well, what do you think would happen if you could fly? There is no fun in that, too easy! Well, on the other hand, it probably would be kinda fun. :) 3. Boris: A Mad Bomber that intends to keep Rocky and Bullwinkle away from the three stolen treasures. No matter how many times you kill him, he is just around the corner dropping more bombs. Maybe he got in touch with a scientist that knows the solution to cloning. I dunno, but he can get pretty annoying. 4. Natasha: Natasha is a little more fun to play with, heh heh. She has a more entertaining skill than dropping bombs. She tosses knives, and she has a darn good aim, that's for sure! I avoid her at all costs. She, on the other hand, cannot be killed, as she hides behind a trash can, except when vulnerable on the moon chapter. 5. Fortune Teller: She plays a little card game with you, and if you win, you get a little present. She is scattered all along the game's worlds, in her little shack. 6. Coach: A football coach. 7. Miniature football player: A midget. 8. Fat football player: A fat person. 9: Fearless Leader: The main bad guy. A major Nazi look-alike, and kinda freaky. Bullwinkle has to save Rocky from Fearless Leader twice, and, as always, it seems like it is the end for Rocky. Fearless Leader is silent, and ruthless, or so it seems. He always uses the aid of machinery to defeat his foes, so I guess he isn't that powerful. 11. Captain Peter Peachfuzz: Heh heh, this guy is kind of funny. He is the museum curator, and he has really poor humor. Watch the ending to see what I mean. That's basically it about him... 12. Burglar: A burglar runs around the streets of Frostbite Falls, running down anything in his path. Just thought I'd add him because it seemed he played a significant role in the game I guess. He was no better than Peachfuzz or the midget, afterall, heh heh. :) III. Enemies/Hazards Listing Note: These are not the enemies' official names, just what I see them as. Example: Name: Monster Score (When Killed): 300 Info: Monster is mean. a. Frostbite Falls: Name: Trash can Score: none Info: Trash cans bounce down the streets. They are fairly easy to jump over with Bullwinkle. Name: Boris Score: 300 Info: Boris is a major pain in the neck. He simply drops bombs from buildings. However, if a building is large enough, you may simply be passing through, and then suddenly the death mockery is emitted from the cheap gameboy system, and to me, that is one annoying enemy. Name: Natasha Score: none Info: Natasha cannot be killed. She throws daggers in a straight line, left or right, and that is enough to bang you up badly. Beware of her at all costs. Name: Poodle Score: none Info: Usually, poodles are found inbetween two trashcans. Actually, all the time. I don't think it would be wise, afterall, for the programmers to have the poodles fall off the holes in the streets, now would it? The poodles simply run in your direction, to bite you. Name: Electric Charge Score: none Info: The telephone lines are malfunctioning, and the electric charges can give you quite a shock as they pass left to right, down the wires. Name: Burglar Score: 300 Info: He runs... fast. Name: Fire Hydrant Score: none Info: The fire hydrants are busted up, and the water pressure hurts. Name: Hole Score: none Info: You fall... you die. a2. Football Field Name: Fat Football Player Score: ? Info: The fat football players are quite hard to jump over, but can be overcome by ramming. Name: Midget Football Player Score: ? Info: The small football players are hard to knock down, but easy to simply jump over. b. Mine Name: Unknown Score: none Info: They resemble pots of coffee, that go in an up and down movement. As you explore the mine, make sure you give room for these... things, to move up and down. Name: Rat Score: none Info: Rats are rather fast, and pretty big. Name: Mine Cart with Dynamite Score: none Info: These things move in one direction, and, because of their large size, they are hard to dodge. Name: Water Drops Score: none Info: These DEADLY drops of water drop from the stallagtites above, and inflict quite a deal of pain. They have a tendency to fall on your head unexpectedly, so look around before you proceed. Name: Loose Bricks Score: none Info: Same as Water Drops. Name: Natasha Score: none Info: See "Frostbite Falls" Name: Bat Score: none Info: Bats can be found flying around in small rooms within the mine. They are usually guarding something of value, and are kind of easy to dodge, but the player should still be cautious. Name: Hole Score: none Info: See "Frostbite Falls" c. Frostbite Falls 2 Name: Sink Score: none Info: How oddly odd. The only threat Bullwinkle has in climbing the massive building to Fearless Leader are sinks falling out of windows. However, they are effective, so I guess having sinks dropped out of windows is a good idea. Well, in the world of Rocky and Bullwinkle, anything goes I guess. Name: Fearless Leader Score: 1,000 Info: A wopping 1,000 points! Put this guy where he should be: in jail! Heh heh, you expected different? He is rather simple to defeat. He just sits atop a building, looking scary as he is about to cut the rope that could mean Rocky's death, and all you must do is get to the top and ram him. However, you are timed, so you must reach him quickly! Not too hard... d. The Moon Name: Alien 1 Score: 150 Info: He jumps up and down. Name: Alien 2 Score: 50 Info: He jumps up and down. Name: Alien 3 Score: 50 Info: He jumps up and down. Name: Boris Score: 100 Info: This time he isn't throwing bombs, but jumping around like a fool while Rocky has the advantage. Name: Natasha Score: 100 Info: Ditto, with a few minor changes. :) Name: Meteor Score: none Info: It smashes you, you get hurt. Name: Beaks Score: none Info: Crushing beaks that are seen sprouted from the ground. You can simply jump over these with ease. However sometimes you might accidently land on one after jumping from a cliffside. Name: Saucers Score: none Info: These guys are HARD. They often fly around you at the wrong time. As you ride platforms across a cliff, the saucers pass by as well, making it extremely difficult to pass through. I reccomend you jump over them when they are at their lowest position, and try to land back on the moving platform. It takes a lot of practice, and often I recieve a gameover when meddling with these guys. Name: Alien w/Laser Score: 500 Info: These are the few enemies on the moon that have a far range. To pass through these guys, simply jump over each laser shot, and then attack when you get close enough. Name: Bouncy Balls Score: none Info: Balls that bounce up through a hole. They don't bounce too high, but it can be a challenge when encountering more than one. Make sure your landings are precisely inbetween the two balls for each jump. Name: Mouse Robot Score: none Info: HUGE! These are probably one of the toughest species in the game due to the fact of their size! It is very difficult to jump over one of these, unless you have enough time to get a high enough jump before it reaches you. I also have a hard time with them as they often follow you until they succeed in bashing your face in. Oh, also I wanted to point out that they resemble large mice robots, that walk on two legs. Weird. Oh yeah, the moon is made cheese in this game, so I guess it makes a little sense... Name: Trap Score: 10 Info: Traps are found in caves. They have some sort of treasure baited along with them, so if you were to go for the treasure, it would snap you, as moustraps do mice. You can go ahead and get the treasure, but it isn't worth it, as you must sacrifice an acorn. You can, however, snatch the treasure without getting hurt, but it really isn't worth it. My question is: why are there mouse traps on the moon when the citizens are mice? Maybe the aliens wish to exterminate them. :) Name: Robot Score: none Info: These are very uncommon, but once in a while you might encounter one. They resemble R2-D2 with electric charges emitting from it's body. Basically the same as the mouse robot, except smaller and easier to jump over. Name: Cliffs Score: none Info: See "holes" Name: Boris 2 Score: none Info: Boris can be found at one point on the moon in a machine that shoots lasers at you. To pass through him, you must run under the machine, but watch out for the thrust that fires out the bottom once in a while. You cannot kill him. Name: Boulder Score: none Info: Boulders can be found ricocheting off cliff walls; cliffs in which you must climb up. They are hard to dodge, but usually there is enough time for you to get to the top before a second is dropped. Name: Laser guns Score: none Info: When you reach the end of the cave within the moon, there is a narrow cliff that you must go up through by riding moving platforms. This gets really hard though because you pass by a number of laser guns on each side of the passage. Not only are there many, but they actually aim at you, so watch out. Try to set a rythm of dodges for each laser shot, and you might make it out alive. Name: Cheese Score: none Info: Cheese can be found hovering over a certain cliff in which you must pass to save Bullwinkle from Fearless Leader. You can ride on these. Name: Fearless Leader Score: 1,000 Info: This jerk is at it again. He sits in a spaceship that is about to blast off with Bullwinkle under it. At the same time, he shoots lasers at you. You must go under the ship and jump up through the bottom and "kill" him. You are timed for this, so pick up some speed. e. The Manor Name: Knight Score: 300 Info: Knights walk down the hallways in a manner similar to the robots. If they touch you, you get hurt. Name: Knight 2 Score: none Info: Certain Knights are backed up into a wall, and cannot be killed. They swing an axe every once in a while. You must run past them before they swing again. Name: Ghost Chair Score: 300 Info: Ghost Chairs bounce around. Name: Ghost Chair 2 Score: none Info: These ghost chairs hover slowly, up and down, giving you enough time to run under them. Name: Haunted Books Score: none Info: The haunted books fly at you from book cases. You can usually wait for them to get to the peak of their flight, and run under them. Name: Chandelere Score: none Info: I hope I spelled that right. Chandeleres fall from the cieling, and, if you are under one, move out of the way quick. I find one thing stupid about chandeleres. Once one hits the ground it can still hurt you if you touch it. Name: Light Bulb Score: none Info: Same as chandeleres, except they break when they hit the ground. Name: Ghost Score: 300 Info: Ghosts are rather big, and float towards you. You can jump over them successfully if you start your jump when he is near. Name: Ghostling Score: none Info: Small ghosts that jump out at you from holes in the floor. Name: Haunted Coin Score: none Info: Resemble coins, but hurt you. You can tell it is haunted by one sole fact: it moves. Don't be stupid enough to try and collect it. Name: Holes Score: none Info: See "Frostbite Falls." Name: Haunted Books 2 Score: none Info: Smaller than Haunted Books. These haunted books vary between one another. Some move to the left, some to the right. Others just fall off the shelf and hit you if you happen to be under it. These books are found in the library. Name: Boris Score: 300 Info: See "Frostbite Falls." Name: Natasha Score: none Info: See "Frostbite Falls." Name: Bear Trap Score: none Info: Same as traps, except they aren't baited. Name: Haunted Sword Score: none Info: A sword that moves in mid-air by some unknown force. It moves in a downward hack. Name: Knife Score: none Info: A knife is thrown from some unknown force, similar to Natasha's throwing. Name: Candle Set Score: none Info: These haunted candle sets hurt you as they float around. Some move up and down as well. Name: Spider Score: none Info: Spiders drop from their webs, and, if they happen to hit you, you get hurt. f. Final Battle Name: Spikes (Down) Score: none Info: Each hole contains sets of spikes that move down, and appear back at the top. Name: Spikes (Up) Score: none Info: Same as (Down) except (Up.) One set of each type of spikes are assigned to each hole, like this: V = Spike (down) I = Spike (up) -- = Floor/Cieling B = Bullwinkle R = Rocky F = Fearless ------- -------- ---------- VVVV VVVV etc... B IIII IIII ------- -------- ---------- Name: Spikes Score: 1000 Info: When you reach the end of the level, you will see Rocky under a slow-moving set of spikes. You must ram these, and they will fly into Fearless Leader, with his head out of a window, apparently, finally defeating him. V = Spike (down) -- = Floor/Cieling R = Rocky F = Fearless Leader ------- ---------- VVVV VVV F IIII R ------- ---------- IV. Inventory a. Health: When you collect health, it adds one to your health. They look different, depending on which character you use. For Bullwinkle, health is shown as mooseberries. (They look like white bombs.) For Rocky, health is represented as acorns. You can have a maximum of 4 health at one time. b. Lives: Lives are represented as the character's head. For each life, it adds 1 to your inventory, next to your character's face. c. Coins: These give you 10 score per coin. d. Stolen Treasure: There are 3 total that you must collect to beat the game. Fearless Leader has all three treasures. Status Bar Screen: This is a basic description of the status bar viewed at the bottom of the screen... ---------------------------- [ L S H ] ---------------------------- L: Lives: When lives = -1, gameover. S: Score: The score increases each time you kill an enemy, pick up a coin, or win a minigame. As far as I know, the score means nothing, really, just an indicator of how good you are. H: Health: You can recieve a total of 4 hp at one time. When health = -1, lose one life. IV.V. Controls a. Bullwinkle A: Jump B: Ram D-Pad: Move Notes of Interests: Bullwinkle has some good sides to him, such as his ability to control his jumps well. The lighter you tap the "A" button, the smaller the jump. Bullwinkle can jump fairly high, which is good. His attack is okay, but you won't find yourself using it much, as you can simply jump over enemies with little trouble. b. Rocky A: Jump B: Tail Swing D-Pad: Move Notes of Interest: Rocky is very fun to play as in my opinion. I understand he can fly in the cartoon series, but in the game, he doesn't use this to his advantage which I find dissapointing. However, he can fly in some ways. You can repeatedly jump until you get enough air to glide around, which can be pretty fun. To use Rocky, you must learn how to get him to jump far distances. Simply jump once, and be sure you land in the same spot. Then jump a second time, and land in the same spot once again. By the third time, Rocky will be sky-high! 3 times is the limit, and quite enough at that. V. Mini Games There are a total of 2 mini games in Rocky and Bullwinkle. One is a fun little game, quite a challenge too, in which you play a weird little football game. You toss Rocky and you must get to the touchdown and successfully catch him to make a touchdown. The other is a card game. a. Football Game First of all, you play as Bullwinkle, and the downside is that you cannot jump as high as you do regularly. You must run through the field while dodging players on the opposite team by jumping and knocking down. The small players are extremely hard to knock down, but simple to jump over. The large players are hard to jump over, but you can knock them down fairly easy. If you reach the touchdown and catch Rocky, you win. I am unsure if you recieve extra score. b. Card Game The Fortune Teller gives you five cards, and then reveals them. You can then choose the ones you want to be taken out, and she will take them and draw new cards to replace them. For each coin you collected, you can then trade for one draw. One draw is for one card to be taken out. If you have no more coins to use to draw crads, then you lose. If you happen to have three of one character out of five, you will win temporary immortality, in which you cannot get hurt for a few seconds, except by means of falling down a hole. VI. Cheats There is a much easier way to beat Rocky and Bullwinkle, and with this cheat, R & B will fly! However, you need a Gameshark for this. Type in: 01F0B0D8 Now, to use this you need to know a few things. With this code, it will allow your charactersto fly. However, if you don't use it right, you will keep flying until you hit the cieling, and get stuck. To use this code, use the Gameshark on/off button to jump. It's kinda like replacing "A" with that button. Now you can simply fly over obstacles with ease! VII. Conclusion I hope you all have had as much fun as I had when playing Rocky and Bullwinkle. I find Rocky and Bullwinkle the sort of game with a very high replay value, due to the real challenge, and I like that in a game. I also wanted to point out that "Ren and Stimpy: Space Cadets," is another Gameboy game with the exact same levels as Rocky and Bullwinkle, except all new graphics and enemies. If you passed Rocky and Bullwinkle, and liked the game, I reccomend you get Ren and Stimpy. It is an exact clone of Rocky and Bullwinkle, where Bullwinkle is replaced with Stimpy, and Rocky is Ren, and the levels have completely changed graphics. Very strange game.
