Credits 001-General Information ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a walkthrough for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game called Burgertime. If you want to copy some of this FAQ, just email me at ilovecartoonssomuch@yahoo.com so I can give you the go ahead and you don't end up breaking some law. Like most of my games, actually ripping it off won't get you very far. Have fun playing Burgertime! Thanks to Greg Harvilla for help with this guide. 002-Story ----------------------------------------------------------- You're some guy named Peter Pepper (weird name...wonder if his parents were insane) and you're a cook who makes burgers Sounds normal enough, right? But Peter must have inherited some of the insanity, because the hamburgers he makes are bigger than he is. Much bigger. In fact they're so big, Peter has a complex system of ladders and platforms to hold the burgers. All he has to do is walk all the way across a layer of the burger to get it to fall down to the next platform. There are four pieces to each burger (two buns, the meat and lettuce) and four burgers to make. This is rather easy, but for some reason, evil hot dogs and scrambled eggs managed to grow legs and are trying to kill Peter so he doesn't make the burgers. Are they the "leftovers" of one of Peter's insane experiments? How will we ever know? And where's the ketchup? Quit asking these questions, it's burgertime! 003-Characters ----------------------------------------------------------- Peter Pepper: Peter Pepper is a chef. You conrtol him by moving him left and right or up and down the platforms. He can also throw pepper if you press B, which kills some enemies. They come back to life later, though. Looks like his evil creations are immortal. Hot dog: This hot dog is as big as Peter is and follows you around trying to kill you. Luckily, they're really stupid and easy to avoid, which is why there are six of them, which makes it hard. You can try to crush one of them with one of the hamburger parts when they fall. You can also send a hamburger part falling with a hot dog on it (you get more points). Scrambled egg: This egg has visible legs and chases after you trying to kill you. I'm pretty sure this is revenge for Peter, because he beat the eggs. The egg is much, much smarter than the hot dogs and foils your plans often. Pickle: The pickle (looks like a green hot dog to me) is the third type of enemy. Smart as an egg, fast as a hot dog. Ice cream: Occasionally, an ice cream cone appears in the middle of the screen and you can get it for some points and some pepper. Coffee: Same as the ice cream, but worth more. Fries: Same as the coffee, but worth more. 004a-Walkthrough ----------------------------------------------------------- Check out the opening screen. Look at the copyright. Apparently a company called Namco created this game (it was Namcot). Can you imagine misspelling the company name on the finalized project? 004a-Level One ----------------------------------------------------------- Well, here's my incredibly lame picture of the first level. The "B"'s represent burger parts: -----------B-------B-------B--- | | | | | | ---B---| | |---B---|---B---| | |-------| | | ---B---| | |---B---| | | |---B---| | | |--B---|---B---| |---B---| | | |-------| | | |__B___|___B___|___B___|___|___| Your main strategy is to go up to the top and get the buns there. This level shouldn't be too tough. 004b-Level Two ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's another picture with B's for burgers: ___B_____B_____B_____B___ | | | | | | | | |--B--|--B--| | | | | | | | | | | | |--B--| | |--|--|--B--| | | | | | | | | | |--B--| | |--B--| | | | | | | | |--B--|--|--|--|--|--B--| | | | | | -B--- | | | -----| | | | | | ---B--- | | | B--|--B | | - This level is easy, pretty much like the last one. Just follow the same strategies you did in the first level and you'll be fine. The only hard part is getting the burgers that hang down to the bottom. 004c-Level Three ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's another map: |--B--|--B-----B-----B--| | | | | | |-----|--B-----B--------| | | | | | |--B--|-----| |--B--| | | | | | |--B-----B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | | |-----| | | | | |--|--|-----| | | |--B--| | | | | | -B--| |--B--| | | | | | |--B--| |--B--| | | | |--| |--|--B--| | | | | |--|-----|--| When you start up, go either right of left and get the easy burger there (this level has three pieces per burger, six burgers). Then go up to the top and use the basic techniques you did in the other levels to get the ones up there. Then go down and get the easy burger that you missed to beat the level. 004c-Level Four ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's another map (the quality is getting better): |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| | | | | | |--B--|--B--|--B--|--B--| This level has four burgers with eight parts to a burger. In case you didn't notice, the map fits a pattern with the first four rows repeating over and over. This level shouldn't be hard, it just looks like that because the burgers are so big. 004d-Level Five ----------------------------------------------------------- Take a wild guess at what this is: |-----------B-----B-----|--| | | | |-----------B--|--B--|--|--| | | | | |-----------B--|--B--| | | | | | |-----------B-----B--| | | | | | | |--------|--B-----B--|--|--| | | | | |--------|--B-----B-- | | | | | |-----------B-----B--| | | | | | | |-----------B-----B--| | | | | | | |--|--| | | | | | | Your best shot on this level is to go all the way to the top and then go left over two burgers, down, right over two burgers, and down. Do these four steps again and again until you get all of the burgers. 004e-Level Six ----------------------------------------------------------- Obviously, this is the hardest level: |--B--- |--B-- | | | --B--| | ---B--| | | | |--B--| | |--B-- | | | | | --B--| | |--B--| | | | |--B--| |--B-- | | | --B--| |--B--| | | |--B--| | |--B-- | | | | | --B--| | |--B--| | | |--B--|--B--|----- | | | _____| _|_ _|_ This level is hard because a lot of ladders break off where they shouldn't, and it makes certain burger parts, like the top right hand one hard to get, and by the time you get it, all the bad guys are blocking your only exit. You can use pepper spray to get past them, or just commit suicide, which is what I did. When you die, you restart the level, but all of the burgers remain in the places they were when you died instead of at their original places, so that ends up helpful There is no official ending, when you beat this level you start at the first level again, so the game never stops. It's frusterating to spend so much effort on a game to find it doesn't end, but it was harder on me because I finished two maps for levels seven and eight before I realized that they were the same as levels one and two. 005-Game Genie Codes ---------------------------------------------------------- If you're not using your NES, put these in the screen that pops up when you press F6. Infinite lives and peppers are both good, but why would you want eight lives instead of infinite lives? You'd only want that if you don't like cheating, in which case you aren't reading this. Anti- gravity shoes are good for avoiding enemies, and of course, so are super speed and slow moving enemies. Fast play for experts and the codes for enemies moving faster are the typical codes that Game Genie puts in for making the game harder, which are supposed to impress somebody, but don't.
