Most of the game is a platforming feature, travelling from left to right to get to the end of the level. There is a particularly high emphasis in the game on the use of background objects and picking up certain items and carrying them for use. In the first level, for example, there are multiple objects that have a lot of bounce to them, and can be used as a springpad to launch Ren over great distances. It should be noted the manual for this game lists the B button as an 'attack button' for Ren and Stimpy. However, the attacks they make do not seem to actually do anything, and are instead just for picking up, using and dropping items. Throughout each level, you can pick up money in $0.25 increments. These do not seem to have an actual function (unlike the SNES counterpart to this game, where it apparently gives you a health bonus) other than a score bonus. There are also heart items, which replenish any damage you may take from enemies and environmental hazards. Each level also has a timer counterdown, where if you take too long you will have to restart the whole level from scratch (starting at the beginning also occurs if you should lose all your hearts). This is not particularly a problem in the second level, which is divided into several stages, but it can be a hassle in the first and third levels. Also, rather unfortunately, there is no password or save function to Veediots! This is not particularly a problem, except that you cannot play the three levels separately: to get to level two, you have to beat level one first, and similarly for playing level three.

Jump on top of the TV set, then leap to the right and snatch the painting on the wall in mid-air to get $0.25 from underneath it. Use the B button to toss the painting, then continue on and hop onto the phone. When it rings, it will bounce Ren into the air. Use it to jump onto the nearby clock hand, which will carry Ren around. Press the A button to be thrust off the clock between 1 to 3'o'clock on the clock's hands and launched onto a nearby table. Hop up onto the connected bookshelf, then go right and leap onto a windowsill behind a curtain. Drop down to the table to the right, and use the fan to be sent out on a rightwards trajectory, and attempt to claim the heart in mid-air. Once you land, grab $0.25 from the nearby TV set. Move to the far right side of the TV set and then leap off to the right onto another clock. Using the 1, 2, or 3'o'clock point to jump off, you will land in front of a fireplace. Grab the log, then continue right to confront Stimpy. Move right in front of him and then drop the log on him to knock him out, then head right. Use the phone on the table to hop onto a high shelf, then drop down to the right side. Continue along the cabinet, where you will probably get hit by Stimpy first before grabbing the vase (he only appears however if you 'jump' high enough - if you walk straight along without making any upwards movement, he won't). Use the vase to take him out, then hop off the shelf onto another clock. Use the 1'o'clock or 2'o'clock positions to jump on top of a lamp. Take $0.25 by hopping up and grabbing the painting, then drop down and head right, using the case on Stimpy who appears again. Walk past a TV set and a phone, ignoring the clock up above. Instead, continue on and hop into a fan to launch yourself right. Hold the right d-pad button down to stay right even when you fall into another fan to fall down to the floor to your right. Move right and leap over the mousetrap and hit the three blocks, and repeat this twice more to knock it over. Jump up and grab the painting for $0.25, then head down and throw it at Stimpy who appears. Rush along, ignoring the log in front of the fireplace, and take another $0.25 from a TV set, ignoring Stimpy who you may see on a pole. Instead, hop onto the nearby table onto a telephone. From where you land, ignore the phone here, and instead hop onto the table. Grab the vase, and move forward, hitting Stimpy with the vase. Fall down from the bookshelf and move right to find a fan. Jump onto the fan to leap to the right onto a clock. Launch off from either the 1'o'clock or 2'o'clock position to land on another clock. Repeat from 1-2'o'clock and it will send you to the end of the level. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stimpy's Invention -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STIN] Stage One --------- This level is at least a lot easier time-wise because it splits the level up into several sections, with the time being reset for each new section that you go to. As Stimpy, you will start off falling down. Go left to get some money (you will be able to jump for two $0.25 bills), then head right to find a spring on the floor. Hop onto the spring and use it to launch yourself rightwards over a high platform. If you have trouble with hopping far enough from the spring, you can also push it right by pressing B while right in front of it and walking it over, then releasing it with the B button again (you can also use this to grab the remaining $0.25 bills). Avoid the travelling sparks of electricity up here as they will wound Stimpy, and instead drop down. Travel over to one spring and use it to launch yourself over some more platforms. Drop down to your right and use to the next spring to grab three $0.25 bills. Before moving onwards, grab the spring with the B button, then drag it to the far right wall. Hop up top and then go right and down to the ground. Move left through a passageway and the door at the end will open up as you approach, allowing you to grab the spring. Use the B button to grab it, then return right and drop it off at the right end of the area. Use the spring to continue. Follow along until you see an upside glass chute. Hop into the glass chute to head to the next level. Stage Two --------- Head right from the stage start and jump off the box to your left. Grab the $0.25 hanging in the air, then leap onto the next shelf up to your right, and then right forward again. Continue on hopping over a few more shelves to get three $0.25 bills. Fall down from here and continue right. You will enter into a sort of obstacle course with large spheres going up and down from the ceiling, electricity sparks moving left and right, and pistons moving up and down from the floor. The pistons are not harmful on there own, but if they throw you up into a spark or against a sphere it will knock a piece of health off of Stimpy's life, so be forewarned if you take lots of damage. Use the last piston to jump off onto the high platform to the right, then go down to the right. Use the right of two pistons to leap onto the right shelf, then go up to the left shelf to grab three $0.25 bills. From here, move right and continue right until you hit a wall with a chemical flask on the ground. Up above the flask is a platform with two vials. Jump up and grab one vial while at the peak of your jump (you will not be able to actually jump onto the platform). Press B while in front of the flask to automatically dump it in. Grab the other vial and put it into the flask, then move left to avoid taking damage from the impending explosion. Once the flask blows up, destroying the wall to the right, go through and take the chute up, grabbing three more $0.25 along the ride. Stage Three ----------- Move forward and jump over the switch, hitting B while in front of it to flip the switch, activating a conveyor belt just ahead of you. Hop onto the moving platform once it goes to the right side, and take it up to get some height leverage for a hop onto the next platform. Flip another switch on the way down to get another belt going, and use it to hop up right. Continue moving right through the level, flipping another switch. This time, there are two belts hop onto the first one and use it to clear the jump onto the second one once it starts travelling up. Near the peak of the belt's travel, hop up onto the chemical shelves up above. Grab two $0.25 bills from the high shelf, then leap down to the right side, grabbing a few more $0.25 bills in the air. From the platform, leap over to the right, hitting the next switch in mid-air (if you miss this leap, you will have to go left through a wall and use the box on the ground to flip the previous lever to return over to this side). Go to the far right end and hop onto the third belt. Continue right and down until you get to the glass chute and move on to Stage Four. Stage Four ---------- Move forward, ignoring the blowtorch item for now, and instead pick up the spring. Carry it over to a platform and then drop it down. Go back and grab the blowtorch, then hop off the spring upwards. Move around left and right along the platforms to slowly go up until you get to the top platform. Head right and jump onto a small platform held up by ropes. Hold the blowtorch against a rope and after a few seconds it will burn up, allowing Stimpy to fall down. From where he lands, move right. Drop the blowtorch to pick up the spring, and carry it right. Backtrack left to go and retrieve the blowtorch, then jump off the spring over a lit candle to relight the blowtorch, then land to the right side. Press against the door with the blowtorch to destroy it. Proceed onwards and leap off the spring over another candle to once more relight the blowtorch. Continue right, jumping from the platform to grab a $0.25 bill and flipping a switch in mid-air, causing a conveyor belt to move. Use the conveyor belt to burn steadily away at a wall in mid-air. You will need to make a couple of rounds going slowly up the right side before it breaks and you can move on. Continue through the corridor and drop down, then head to the end and go up the glass chute to end this stage. Stage Five ---------- Head right and initially jump up from the spring to grab two $0.25 bills. Fall back down and push it right a little to hop up to a spot with two vials. Grab one vial, then go up, then left, grabbing some more $0.25 bills on the way. Dump the one vial in the flask. Next, grab the flask, and run right, leaping off at the end. Drop the flask next to a black, bombable wall. Backtrack left and onto the platform with the vials to grab a vial of the opposite colour that you just earlier poured into the flask. Return right and dump the new vial into the flask, then back away to escape taking damage from the explosion of the flask. Move forward in the next area. Hop onto the box and then the conveyor belt and jump to the left to make the belt move. Use the belt to go up to the top and hop onto the high shelves up here. Head left and drop down to grab 4 of the $0.25 bills, then move right back to the conveyor belt and hop up to the right side. Leap right onto a paltform with a vial of black chemical, then continue jumping and moving right until you get to another flask laying on the ground. Dump the vial into the flask and then get rid of the vial itself. PIck up the flask and move it right next to the door. Backtrack until you find a box. Move it right, then use it as a springboard to hop up to spot a vial with grey liquid in it. You cannot actually hop onto the platform, but you can grab the vial while in your jump with use of the B button. Once you drop down to earth, head right and dump the vial into the flask. Back away to let it explode. Move the box along past where the wall was to grab a couple of $0.25 bills from the air, then take the chute to go up to Stage 6. Stage Six --------- Run right for a long time until you get to a helmet laying on the ground. Pick it up, then hop onto the moving platform. You will see Ren pacing back and forth on the platform above. You cannot get up there to attack him. Rather, what you must do is hold the Up button and then press B to release the helmet, throwing it up, and attempting to get the helmet to land on Ren's head. Once you succeed in doing this, you can go right and take the glass chute up, finally completing this whole level. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- In the Army -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [ITAR] Start the game off by walking right, ignoring the branches of the trees. Eventually, you will come to a soldier who will fire once out of his gun before disappearing. Once you see him, start moving left and then jump so you do not walk straight into the bullet. Press on, and you will find another soldier whose bullet you must dodge. When you come to the bridge, rush over it and jump over the gap. If you stay too long, you will need to go through an underground portion with enclosed spaces and lots of bats. On the higher ground, leap right into the bullet that is going right, and it will carry Ren over a missile in the ground before stopping right underneath a soldier standing on a high tree branch. Ignore the soldier and instead press onwards, making sure to dodge a falling watermelon. Hop into the cannon and shoot yourself out far and to the right. From where you land, move right some more and into another cannon. When coming down from the second landing, you may get a heart from next to a loudspeaker tower. After impact, head right through the cliff wall into an underground area, and drop down. Going left, wait for the bat to move away before continuing, grabbing a $0.25 bill on the way. Down below, once the bat has started to move up, continue on, jumping over another bullet from a paratrooper waiting for Ren. Getting outside, skip over another soldier, then get into a cannon. Take the cannon up and to the left into another cannon. Use this second cannon to go up and to the right, but press left just as you reach impact to avoid falling into a waterfall and having to restart the level from the beginning. Once you have control over your on-the-ground movements again, hop onto the log, then leap over to solid ground again. Move along, hopping over a small enemy, then a pile of sandbags, and travelling up a sloped hill to come to still another cannon. Get inside and take it up and right. On landing, hop over another soldier and some sandbags. Dodge a falling watermelon, then head over another waterfall via use of a log. Go down one last hill section, avoiding a bee buzzing around. With travelling right across the mud, you finally can wrap up this area and the game altogether. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Donations/Amazon -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [DONT] I don't really care too much about donations, but if you are feeling generous, feel free to send one via PayPal to gammabetaalphafaqs AT gmail DOT com Alternatively, if you ever order any items from Amazon.com, go to the link below.
