It is a project set up at the FAQ Contributors Board at GameFAQs to give all Sega Master System games a FAQ. It was started by Masamune3 in the case of the Sega Master System but there are projects like that for other consoles too. TRAPPED! Above you is the star-filled void of space. Below... a mysterious, twisting maze filled with unknown dangers! To survive this maze you'll have to fight your way to the bottom! Put on your SegaScope 3-D glasses™. The maze comes to life with 3-D graphics that will blow you away! The walls are so high they'll make you dizzy! Five areas amd twenty levels... and countless dead ends. And, of course, the evil maze creatures! If you're fast enough you can try to jump over them. But find the maze weapons and you can hunt them down! If you make it to the bottom, you'll earn the title of maze hunter... and become a legend. Off course, the game is less challenging without the 3D glasses but it is still a fun game. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2- FAQ [A200] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [1] [Q]. What are those numbers like [A300] next to the title of every section? [A] It is the search engine of this FAQ. Press Ctrl and F. Type in the search code for the section you want to go to. You should be there in two steps. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3- Basics [A300] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 3.1- Controls [A301] =============================================================================== >> CONTROL PAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You have to use the Control Pad to move your character. The controls are pretty straightforward. Up makes you go up and same goes for the rest. I don't really know how these controls work for the 3D game. >> 1/START >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After you picked up the Pole or another item, you'll use this button to attack the enemies with the pole. >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you press this button, your character will jump. You can jump over enemies when you don't have the weapon. This is handy at the start of the level. =============================================================================== 3.2- Items [A302] =============================================================================== There are four types of objects. These objects are usually hidden beneath a question mark. Just attack the Question Mark and grab the item. >> KEYS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All twenty levels contain one key. You need to key to finish the level because it activates the Warp Tile. You can find it underneath one of the question marks on the level. >> WEAPONS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There is only one real weapon in the entire game. You find it at the start of the first level. You can also get temporary power-ups by destroying the Red Balloon by popping it. You don't really need them to finish the level. >> SUITS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Like a regular human, the main character can only wear one suit at a time. Luckily, there are only two suits in the game so you won't have a hard time choosing. There is a Light Suit and an Absorb Suit. I took a couple of hits with the Absorb Suit without dieing but it seemed to lose his effect in the next one. The light suit makes you lighter so you can jump better but the defensive abilities are bad. >> SHOES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The game doesn't only make you wear a Suit but it also has a couple of pairs of shoes in the game. There are three types of shoes. The Jump Shoes allow you to jump better, Spike Shoes influence your speed for the better and the Power Shoes make you a bit stronger. =============================================================================== 3.3- Cheats [A303] =============================================================================== >> Continue >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You can continue unlimited times, until level 4-4, by holding the UPPER LEFT hand corner of the Directional Pad, and BUTTONS 1 and 2 simultaneously. The number of the round you are continuing on will appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen. >> Extra Life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Right after you pick up the pipe, you do a test swing with it. If you hit a monster with that test swing, you will hear a bell noise, and get an extra life! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 4- Walkthrough [A400] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Enemies will appear at random times. It is impossible to tell when they appear but just use your Pole to attack them. If you don't have that yet, jump over them. The balloon also appears at random. If you have trouble finishing the game despite this walkthrough, you could also use the maps I made for this game. They can be found on GameFAQs and IGN. My directions are from the point of a view you have, not that of your character. =============================================================================== 4.1- Metal Area - 1 [A401] =============================================================================== Move to the right and pick up the Pole. Go down at the next intersection, go right, and go up again. Go to the right and use the Warp Hole. Advance while following the path. You can pick up the Key and a power up on the way by hitting the Question Marks. Just keep following the path until you reach the second Warp Hole. Use it and step on the flashing tile. =============================================================================== 4.2- Metal Area - 2 [A402] =============================================================================== Go up and pick up the Power Up at the top of the level. Go completely to the right and use the Warp Hole. Go down and go to the right. Go up when you can't go any further and grab the key. Advance and go to the left. You also have to take the first street to that leads down. Go to the right and follow the path. Go up when you get the chance and step on the flashing tile. =============================================================================== 4.3- Metal Area - 3 [A403] =============================================================================== Go up and head left after that. Go up when it is possible. Take the left route. Go through the Warp Hole. Follow the path until you reach the Question Mark containing the key. You can't get lost on the way. Come back to the Warp Hole and take the route to the up/right you passed by earlier. Take the Warp Hole and follow the path again until you reach a new Warp Hole. Take it and finish the level. =============================================================================== 4.4- Metal Area - 4 [A404] =============================================================================== Go down and go to the right when you can't go any further. Use the Warp Hole and go to the left. Go up and go to the left. Take the second route up. Go completely to the right and go down. Grab the key and go back. Take the first route down and go to the right. Use the Warp Hole and finish the level. =============================================================================== 4.5- Rugged Area - 1 [A405] =============================================================================== Go up and take the first road to the left. Go down and go to the left again. Go up and go to the left. Go down, take the first route to the left, and go up again where you find a Warp Hole. Take that one and go to the left. When you come at the end of the road, there is a power up at the top and the key is the lower one. Go back to the start. Yeah, you have to backtrack through the entire level. Take the Warp Hole and go to the right. Go down when you can't go further. Go further to the right. Go up and down again after the wall. Take the first route to the right. Go up and go to the right to reach the end of the level. =============================================================================== 4.6- Rugged Area - 2 [A406] =============================================================================== Go down, take the first route to the left and go down when you can't proceed further to the left. Go to the left and go up at the next road. Take the first to the left and go up. Use the first Warp Hole. Follow the path you are on until you reach the Question Mark, hit it and grab the key. Go back to the beginning. Go down this time and use the second Warp Hole. You can't get lost so just follow the path until you reach the next Warp Hole. You're in a closed area with an entrance (the Warp Hole you came from) and another Warp Hole, use that one to reach the ending. =============================================================================== 4.7- Rugged Area - 3 [A407] =============================================================================== Go to the left. Go up one step and head further to the left. Go down a step and go three steps to the left. Follow the path and take the first route to the right. Go down immediately and get past the Thunder Cloud. Follow the path until the end and pick up the Key. Go back to the start and go up. There are three ways that are going up next to each other; you have to use the one most to the left. =============================================================================== 4.8- Rugged Area - 4 [A408] =============================================================================== You don't have to walk a lot in this level. Go to the left and take the route up when you get at the end. Go in the Warp Hole and head to the right. When you reach the end, you'll have to go down and follow the route to the left. There you'll find the key. Go back to where you entered the Warp Hole and go to the right from there. Use the second Warp Hole. You only have to get past the Thunder Cloud to reach the end of the level. =============================================================================== 4.9- Jungle Area - 1 [A409] =============================================================================== Follow the wall and go down. Go up when you get out of that road and take the next route to the left. Go down and take the next road to the left. Follow the path and you'll reach the key. Head back and go down. Go briefly to the right and go down the path. Follow the road until you reach the Warp Hole. It is easy from there. =============================================================================== 4.10- Jungle Area - 2 [A410] =============================================================================== Go to the right and take the first road down. Take the second road to the right and go down after that. Follow the path to reach the Warp Hole. Go to the left and go down after that. Go back to the left. Go up when you reach a wall and take the first road to the left. Use that Warp Hole. Follow the path from there and pick up the key. Get back to where you entered the Warp Hole and go to the right. Take the first road up and take a right turn. Go up the next road and use the Warp Hole. You're close to the end so make sure you don't fall off the narrow path. =============================================================================== 4.11- Jungle Area - 3 [A411] =============================================================================== This level is a real maze. Go down from the start and follow the path until you reach a Warp Hole. Get into it and go to the right. Follow the path and grab the key. If you have bad luck, you'll encounter a Thunder Cloud that doesn't leave a lot of time between thunderbolts. Hit those bolts so that you don't get hurt. You need to go through the thunderstorm. Head back to where you started and use that Warp Hole. Go down and take the first route to the left. Go up again when you're past the wall. Take the first road to the left. Follow the path from there. You'll have to cross another Thunder Cloud who isn't so bothersome. Go in the Warp Hole. Simply walk to the end of the level from there. =============================================================================== 4.12- Jungle Area - 4 [A412] =============================================================================== You start the level with a long walk. Go up and follow the path. After going to the left at the end, you'll find a Warp Hole. Go through it and head up. Take the route to the right to find the key. Go back to the Warp Hole and go down from there. Head to the right again to reach the end. =============================================================================== 4.13- Ice Area - 1 [A413] =============================================================================== Go to the right from where you start. Go up at the end and take the Warp Hole. Go up and take the first road to the left, go up again at the end and immediately head left. Go down when you reach the wall until you reach the Question Mark. It contains the key, go to the left, and back up again. Take the first street on your left and go back down. You'll find the Warp Hole there. This is a dangerous part. You'll have to run in a line from there to the end and jump to the flashing tile. =============================================================================== 4.14- Ice Area - 2 [A414] =============================================================================== You'll have to around the entire level again. Go down and follow the path. There will always be many enemies in the neighbourhood of the Warp Hole. Go to the left and take the first route up. Take the first to the right and follow the wall you're next to until there is an opening. Go down there and pick up the key. Go back out and head to the right. Go down and take the first one to the left. You'll find the end of the level there. =============================================================================== 4.15- Ice Area - 3 [A415] =============================================================================== Go down and take the third route to the left. Go down from there. Go completely to the right when you reach the bottom. Go up and take the first road to the left. Remember this place because you'll be coming back here. Go up for the moment and go to the left after that. Take the first road up and immediately head right. Follow that path until you get the Key. Head back to the place I told you to remember and go in. The finish is near. =============================================================================== 4.16- Ice Area - 4 [A416] =============================================================================== Start by going to the right. Use the Warp Hole. Go up until you reach the top of the level. You have to go to the left there. Follow the path and you'll come across the Key. Take the first road to the right and avoid the Thunder Cloud. Get in the Warp Hole and the level is practically done. =============================================================================== 4.17- Blaze Area - 1 [A417] =============================================================================== Go to the right and use the Warp Hole. Go up and take the last road to the right. Go until the end and grab the key. Go down to reach the second Warp Hole. It leads you to the end. You'll have to jump again. Stand still next to the warp hole and do a long jump from there. Don't run forward or you'll fall off, just a long jump in the right direction should do the trick. =============================================================================== 4.18- Blaze Area - 2 [A418] =============================================================================== This level isn't much of a challenge if you look at it as a maze because there is only one road. The key is in the lower left corner of the level. Don't take it too easy though because there are still enemies. =============================================================================== 4.19- Blaze Area - 3 [A419] =============================================================================== Go up to the top of the level and go to the right. Use the Warp Hole. Go down and use the road to the right. Go up and take the first one to the left. Go back up and take the first road to the right. Go straight up from there. Go to the right when you reach the top. Go down from there and when you reach the bottom, you have to go the left. Go up and grab the key. Get back to the starting position. Go to the right from your start position and go up at the end of the road. =============================================================================== 4.20- Blaze Area - 4 [A420] =============================================================================== Follow the path until you reach the middle. Go up and take the first one to the left. Follow the path until you can see a road that goes to the bottom left corner of the screen. That is the path you need to take. Go through the Warp Hole. Go forward and take the first route to the right. Keep following that path until you reach the Question Mark Button. Hit it and grab the key. Go back to the Warp Hole you came from and use it. Go up to the middle of the level again. Go down and use the Warp Hole. Follow the path until you reach a crossroads. If you go further to the right, you can pick up a power up. You need to go up to advance. Follow the path until you end up at the Warp Hole. You'll have to jump again to reach the Warp Tile at the end of the level. Luckily, jumping isn't hard this time. Just jump straightforward. You can bridge the gap easily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the 'Hall of Strength'.
