I may TRY to compile a walkthru to accompany this, but it will become monotonous since alot of levels are merely duplicates of previous ones, only with more enemies, more falling ledges/clouds or lack of.. and more cunningly placed Dolls & Letters which this guide explains. v0.99 - EUREKA! I beat Area 7-4 WITH all 28 dolls and THERE ARE!!!! More levels! Still missing the Letter for 3-4.... v0.98 - Found that damned Letter on 6-2! Also corrected the info on getting the Letter on 6-1... don't know how I could've screwed that one up so bad. All that's left is a trip back to 3-4 to find the last Letter. v0.97 - Slowly getting there! I lucked out and found the hidden Letter/1-Up on 4-4 & 5-4. Just 2 more left to find unless I am correct and there's more then 28 levels. v0.96 - Made some minor corrections to scoring, added a new item & completed the Boss items. Also completed the game at last... but for some reason seem to be missing a doll.. or so it said.. I coulda sworn I got all 28... Trying again. [Positive there's more then 28 levels!] v0.95 - Now only missing The Letters on 3-4, 4-4, 5-4 & 6-2 and need to write down the items for the next levels past 4 as I was a complete moron and forgot. :( Greetings fellow adventurers! Ready for a nice little island adventure where you WON'T be voted off? Well then you've come to the right place :) This is my small little guide to the fun Adventure sidescroller, Wonderboy. Basically in Wonderboy, your goal is simple, collect all the Doll's and save your Girlfriend from the clutches of evil. Sound easy? It might, but it isn't! You must pass through deadly forests, islands and caves and defeat each of the Guardians and their little friends, to stand a chance. To be able to advance on to the true ending of the game, though, you're going to have to collect all 32 Dolls. In this guide, I will inform you of the location of each and every Doll as WELL As pointing out where the hidden letters can be found.... well as many as I can. Anyways, let us begin, shall we? The items you get from the bosses are [IN ORDER] Pendant Perfume Shoe Ring Teddy Bear Parasol Watch General Items ------------- Apple = 50 Points Banana Bunch = 50 Points Date = 100 Points Tomato = 100 Points Grapefruit = 200 Hammer = 100 Points Skateboard = 200 Points Destroying Board = 50 Points Doll = 500 Points Controller = 500 Points Hamburger = 500 Points Fudge Sundae: 500 Points Pina Colada = 500 Points Pointsetta [If you got Doll and Died] = 500 Points Milk Jug = 500 Points Mushroom = 500 Points All Food After Mushroom till You Die = 500 Points French Fries = 500 Points [1000 Points with Mushroom] Milk Bottle = 1000 Points Letter = 1000, 2000 & 3000 Points Consecutively Death = 5000 Points [If you get to the goal with the little bastard on your tail] Full Milk Jug: 10000 Points 1 Up Doll = 1 Up.... duh! Angel = 50 Points for the 1st 4 things hit 100 Points for the next 4 you hit 200 Points for the next 3 you hit 500 Points for the next 3 you hit 1000 Points for the next 2 you hit 2000 Points for the next 2 you hit 3000 Points for the next 2 you hit 5000 Points for the next 2 you hit 10000 Points for the next 1 you hit Then a lame ass 500 Points for the next [4-1 Is a GOOD way to rack up this bonus!] Quick Notes: For Maximum Bonus Points, try to get all the fruit you can to max out your bar. Full Bar = Full Bonus. Full Bonus = 10000 and a 10000 Doll Bonus as the bar is reflective on your Doll Bonus. If you manage to keep your skateboard all the way to another egg with a skateboard in it, you end up getting a 1000 point Milk Jar in its place. You get an extra man at 30,000 120,000 210,000 300,000 and so forth. Area 1 Round 1 -------------- The First Sega Letter can be found after the second Egg and before the first Mosquito. Keep shooting the ground before the mosquito arrives and it will reveal itself. The First Doll of the game is very obvious. Right after the small ledge with 2 Rocks and 2 Sneils, you can jump onto a springboard and snag the Doll. Area 1 Round 2 -------------- The next Sega Letter comes fairly early in this level. On the Second Island, after you beat the 3 Sneils, hammer the far Right edge and it will reveal another letter. :) The Second Doll is also right in the open. It is in Section 4 of the level, shortly after the sign post. You will find a cloud moving from Side to Side and the Doll will be waiting for you via a simple jump to the next Cloud. Area 1 Round 3 -------------- In the ice Area of Part 3, you will encounter a speckled egg. Usualy you should avoid these, as they contain the evil devil who will stay till your health is near gone... but if you leap or hit beside the egg, you will find your 3rd Sega Letter in the middle of the egg. Grab it and wait till it's gone and then run like mad and get all the food you can. Sometimes it will appear before the egg, so approach with caution of the icicles above. The 3rd Doll is a bit trickier here though. At the near end you will come to a platform going down and an egg before it. The Platform goes into a pit before coming out of the ceiling and the doll is at the bottom. Time your leap so the platform just reaches the doll and then jump out on to the safety of the ledge. Area 1 Round 4 -------------- The 4th Doll comes really easy in this level. Almost right at the beginning, you will find it at the last Moving Spider of the first Set. Now, if you've collected all the Letters to this point, you will end up getting a bonus life. You can find this a short distance after the first Coyote and between the 2 fires. Area 2 Round 1 -------------- You fill find the first new Letter in the middle of the second Island, right after the falling Cloud. You will find the 5th Doll in Area 3 near its end. You will have to navigate 2 moving clouds carefully, but it's an easy snag. Area 2 Round 2 -------------- The 6th Doll is into Area 2 of the level and is attained easily enough by taking a quick leap on the springboard to also reach the next ledge. You'll find the next Sega letter hidden away almost right after the 2 rising ledges. After you fall to the next level, shoot or jump right before the bat comes and you will find it. Area 2 Round 3 -------------- The next Sega letter is found in Area 2, just after the 2 Green Frogs and before the Blue Pygmy. Shoot around and you will find it. :) The 7th Doll Is in plain view right after the 2 tricky frogs. You need to time your jump though, as the moving ledges can be tricky. Area 2 Round 4 -------------- Your extra life is here, if you've been nabbing the letters :) You will find it after the Crimson Flower [Where the Coyote comes and jumps over you]. This is also the first stage where the Doll is HIDDEN! It's not an easy find, believe me, especially when you have no Hammer. Right after the spring board jump, run into the first rock and you will find the doll. :) Area 3 Round 1 -------------- As you get to the rising Platform, there is a solitary rock before the cliff. Run into it for your Doll. Shortly after the Doll, you'll take a nice plummet down. Shoot nearby and you will uncover the letter. :) Area 3 Round 2 -------------- When you come to the first Green frog, just after a fire, let it jump 3 times and into the fire and POOF! You got the Doll. :) You will find the Letter by shooting around just as your invincibility Angel runs out and just before the goal. Area 3 Round 3 -------------- Right after the 2 octopi, you will find the letter at the very beginning of the new island. The doll is a bit trickier to get. Just into Area 4, you will see the doll... and a nice stack of clouds rising. You have to make sure you don't go to far forward and can eek your way Left and land on a newly rising cloud, to ensure you get the Doll. Area 3 Round 4 -------------- After the 2 bonfires in Area 4, and just before you go uphill, the first stone contains the Doll. In Area 2, you'll come across a frog between 2 roaring fires. Start shooting after the fires, between the high and low fruit that appear, and you will find the elusive Letter or 1-Up. Area 4 Round 1 -------------- As this is basically Area 1, Round 1 only harder, the doll is very close in position. Near the end of the level, you will come across 3 rocks and 2 sneils. The 3rd rock contains the doll. You'll find the Letter after the 1st frog and just before the fire. Area 4 Round 2 -------------- After Area 2 begins, climb up the ledges and the rock at the top contains the hidden Doll. After the boulder in Area 2, on the top level, you'll find the Letter between a rock and 2 fires. Area 4 Round 3 -------------- The first rock into Area 3 contains your prized Doll :) In Area 1, the first ledge you come to, shoot the Left corner and the Letter is yours. Area 4 Round 4 -------------- After the second spingboard, you'll find the Doll between the 2 fires. In Area 4, after you go uphill, you'll come across a Sneil and a fire. Right after the fire, you'll find the doll between the 3rd and 4th stone. [You may have to jump around.. but the Extra Man or Letter may get into the 4th stone :( ] Area 5 Round 1 -------------- Run full tilt into the last Sneil on the first island and you will nab the Doll. To find the Letter, start shooting just before the Goal sign. Area 5 Round 2 -------------- To get the doll, run into the First native girl. The Letter is in Area 3, in the middle area of the island after the 3 skulls. Area 5 Round 3 -------------- There are 3 rocks just before Area 3. Simply hop onto the middle one and poof! You got the next Doll. Near the end, you'll come to a drop with 3 fruits and a raising platform. Before you take the plunge, shoot the edge for the Letter. Area 5 Round 4 -------------- To find the hidden Doll, run into the Sneil just before the Area 4 sign. The Letter [Or 1-Up] is located JUST AFTER The Area 4 sign post. Just behind the sign and it's yours. Area 6 Round 1 -------------- When you're almost to Area 3, you'll see a Cobra spring forth. Make like the Crocodile Hunter and poke it in its ey... er.. run into it and nab the Doll. ^^;; The Letter is found at the end of the island with all the boulders native girls and frogs. Area 6 Round 2 -------------- In Area 3, just over the springboard. The trick here is to make sure the icicle drops first. In Area 2, after the frog, shoot around the end area of the platform to get the Letter. Area 6 Round 3 -------------- Just as your invincibility is running out, quickly dash into the fire and you'll luck out and get the Doll. To get the Letter, you're going to have to get tricky. See that First speckled egg of doom? The Letter's hiding just beyond it. Area 6 Round 4 -------------- To grab the Doll, quick and easy, run into the first native girl in Area 2. Just before the top of the hill in Area 4, start shooting and the next Letter, or extra life as the case maybe, will be found. Area 7 Round 1 -------------- Springboard over the Chasm for the Doll, but be warned... it comes with a nasty price tag, in the form of the speckled egg, if you aren't careful. I usually make it go down, get a good running leap and the pounce it and pray I clear the egg. Just before the 3rd ice bridge in Area 2, jump around in front of the statue and you will come across the next Letter. Area 7 Round 2 -------------- Run into the 1st native girl, just after the fires and skateboard and the next Doll is yours. You'll find the next Letter right after the last fruit and octopi on the begining island. Area 7 Round 3 -------------- Just before Area 4, there's a falling ledge... but there's also a VERY fast boulder.. so grab the Doll and run fast! Just after the skateboard and the 2 boulders, shoot around and the last Letter, if you've gotten them all to this point, it will be yours. Area 7 Round 4 -------------- To get the FINAL Doll of the game, run into the last native girl, just before the Area 4 sign post. To get the FINAL 1-UP, if you've gotten all the Letters, is yours by shooting around just after the top of the hill and the 3 fires. This pretty much concludes the guide. At this point you save Tina if you beat the big bad ass... and dear god is he tough! I usually botch up and miss 1 Doll on my path to glory, but! If you do manage all the dolls, then READ ON ^^ Be warned... these levels.. dear Lord... it's like the nightmare levels from before... on Crack! I mean... take 8-2... not only are the jumps needing to be flawless... but the Octopi and Marlin ARE EVERYWHERE!!! Area 8 Round 1 -------------- The First Letter is located in the valley just after the 3 Native Girls go by and just before the Flaming Skulls. Shoot in here and you'll find it. Shortly after, as you weave through the Flaming Skulls of Hell maze, shortly after the letter, you'll see a bit of deep hurting in the form of 2 rocks [after a fruit or pina colada] on the small land you hope would have been free. But worry not, for all you need to do is simply smash into the second rock and the doll is yours. Area 8 Round 2 -------------- To find the Second Letter, shoot just before the Native Girl comes out, just before the tree and Area 3 Sign. The Doll is in plain view in Area 4... but you're going to have to do some serious hammer throwing and jumping to nail this one without dying. Area 8 Round 3 -------------- The Doll on this level is hidden and believe me, it's VERY!! Welcome. After the INSANE and most death defying leaps and precise hammer throws to date! [In Area 4] You end up at the end... only to see a roaring FIRE! Worry not though, for all you need to do is warm up to the idea and the Doll is yours. In Area 3, After the treacherous moving ledge and bat hammering leaps, when you finally see the safety of the long platform, start shooting as the moving ledge brings you inwards and the Letter will be found right at the edge. Area 8 Round 4 -------------- Most likely the EASIEST! To find Letter in the entire game... From the beginning... start shooting. Just underneath the first Spider is the Letter or 1-UP. The TRULY FINAL! Doll is into Area 4. At the top of the hill there are 4 roaring fires. Walk into the first one and it's all yours. Beat the final boss... who is truly nasty with his Double Fireballs! And you will rescue Tina. At this point you gain 10K for every Doll collected and an additional 500K bonus for beating the game... BUT That's it... no bloody ending or ANYTHING! Just a big fat GAME OVER Screen :( But hey.. you made it this far.. you got like 2 million points or so now. ^^ And that's all for my little guide :) If you want to distro it, be my guest.
