With so little(actually, none at the time of this FAQ) FAQs available for it, I decided to help out the gaming community a little(and the NES FAQ completion project) with this pretty little document that you are laying your eyes on. I hope you enjoy the show. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX {2.0} Basics XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The goal of the Beauty and the Beast video game is to proceed through each level by reaching the door that leads to the next part. Here are the controls: +------------------------------------------+ | Button | Effect | |------------------------------------------| | Start | Pause Game | | Select | Nothing | | D-Pad | Move | | A | Jump | | B | Punch | +------------------------------------------+ *You can also do an aerial punch by pressing A, then B. The controls will stay the same for MOST of the game. In certain parts, a few functions may be changed which will be explained in the walkthrough. On your screen you will see several things. On the bottom left side of your screen, you will see a heart and a number next to it. That's the number of lives that you have. <3 You should also see four rose blossoms next to that. That's your life meter. One attack does not mean one rose gone! Remember that. And next to that is a rose covered by glass. This is your time limit. The rose will slowly wither away as you play through the level. When it's dead, you lose a life. Finish the level before the rose dies. The rose will be in full blossom every time you finish one "part" of a level. At the bottom right, you will see your score. Try to finish the game with the highest score possible! I don't think that there are any bonuses for a high score though. While playing, you may see bubbles. Touch these with Beast to gain points. You also gain points for defeating enemies. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX {3.0} Walkthrough XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The beginning of the game isn't much. Just watch the intro of what the game is about. You can skip over this by pressing Start or A. This should bring you to the start of the first level. ============================================================================== [3.1] Level 1 ============================================================================== Walk to the right. Roar at the two bats to freeze them, then jump and punch the, down. Jump over the pit and proceed up the path. Collect the red book, then jump over the other pit. Continue. Walk past the door and climb up the pillar. Jump over the two gaps and hold onto the wall. Note: You can climb down for a few extra points. Anyway, climb up and over the pillar. Jump over the pit and climb up another pillar. Fall to the right, then jump right into the pit. Make sure to hug the wall though; there is a spike platform in the middle. When you reach the land, follow the candlestick. It will light up the place for you. Punch away the spiders and whatnot. Make sure to keep that candlestick in sight! You don't want to die in the dark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.1A] Part 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Part 2 is harder than part 1. At the start, go left. Touch the magnifying glass to see part of the level. Keep walking right and dodge the firebreathing statues. You should get to a staircase. On the top of the stairs, there is a statue. The statue will fall down and damage you. Be sure to dodge that. When you get up the long flight of stairs, make a long jump to the right. Walk up the stairs to the left, then make the jump to the next platform on the right. Keep walking that way and head over the gaps. You should eventually come upon some spikes. Jump over them to the right. When you see the gap, fall down and continue right. You should go up some more stairs. You'll know you're heading in the right direction when you go up a large staircase with a flying red thing. Jump across the stair ledges. You should eventually get to a door. The two gargoyles around it will become active and start attacking you. Hit each three times. Wait for them to swoop down, then give 'em a jumping punch. After the gargoyles are set out of their misery(er, dead), you will be able to go through the door and onto the next part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.1B] Part 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the start, go left. Punch the heads that come off. Also, watch out for the chandeliers. Not only can the actual thing hurt you, the pieces that break from it can too. Keep going left until you see some drapes which are hanging in the air. Jump and climb to the top. Jump towards the right. Here, keep going right. You should see a climbable drape, but it'll lead nowhere except to a few extra points. Keep going right. Jump over the candles; they are not defeatable. When you reach the gap, make sure to jump OVER it. The drape there is NOT climbable. Keep going right to see your familiar friends, the spikes. Jump over them until you reach the drapes over the gap. This one is climbable, so climb up and jump over to the right. Continuing to the right should eventually lead to a dead end. What you have to do is climb down the drapes that were before the dead end. Walk to the right and you should find some more drapes. Climb up, then head left. As you walk left, you should see some dudes come out of holes. Punch them before they have a chance to attack you. Keep going left until you see some drapes. Clumb up and jump to the left. You'll see some armor with weapons. Wait for the weapons to drop before jumping over them. You should then reach the door and move onwards to part 4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.1C] Part 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We're almost out of Beast's dungeon of a castle. This level is nothing but a boss battle. If you haven't noticed, B is no longer punch. Beast pulls out this thing instead. Walk forward to see a knight. Jump over him first and proceed to the end of the hall. Press B on Mrs. Potts. You'll now throw some fire! Wait for the knight to come closer. Mash B. After it's hit enough, it'll change colors. Jump over it and onto the top of the stairs if the knight gets too close. We don't want to get damaged. Hit it enough times and you'll defeat it. Once that's over, we'll be able to go through the door. ============================================================================== [3.2] Level 2 ============================================================================== If you're sick of dungeons, then this will be a great sight for you. Proceed right. Defeat all the enemies here(if you want); you've seen them in previous levels so you should know how to defeat them. When you get to the thin bridge, you'll fall down. Go right and you'll be inside a cave. Oh joy. Inside the cave, go right. Avoid the falling green spikes. They're just like the chandeliers; the actual object can hurt you and also the pieces after it falls. Jump over the spike pit and continue. You should come upon wiggly green things. I have no idea what these are, but they'll kill you. Jump and punch to destroy them. When you get to the top of the hill, go right. Jump over the water geysers. It seems like you can walk over them, but actually can't. Walk down the hill. You should see some more green stuff. Punch through all of them, even the stuff on the ground. When you get to the very right, climb the wall. Jump up where there are no spikes. You can go up right through the platforms. Turn left and jump over the spikes. Walk until you reach the water geysers again. Jump over them. Continue going left. Jump over the spike pits and watch out for the falling green spikes, especially the pieces that break after them. Climb up the wall, then jump up the platforms. This is just like before. Jump all the way to the left. You can't see the platform, but it's there. Proceed up. When you get to the top, the path there will lead to a dead end. That's OK, just fall down and hold right to hug the wall. You should end up on a new path. On the new path, walk right and jump over the geysers and spike pits. Keep going right and you'll eventually get to the exit of the cave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.2A] Part 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Walk left on the river. Make sure you jump over the gaps. Punch that yellow animal and watch out for falling logs. Jump up the ledges, then across the waterfall via the purple rock. Move quickly as it will break. You can make it to the platform to the top, but you'll have to hold A and hang onto it. Pull yourself up, then proceed. The rest of the level is very straightforward. Keep proceeding up and follow the ledges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.2B] Part 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This level is an ice level. Every time you jump or move, you'll slide a little bit. Walk right and punch the new enemy goodbye. Then head over the pits(be careful, especially if you're new to these kinds of levels. Go slowly.) then onto the moving ice. Jump to the right and over the pits. You'll eventually come upon some more moving ice. Get across this part and you'll find yourself at a dead end, with a boss! This boss is easy once you learn how to deal with it. Wait for the lion to pounce. Dodge left, then move right and punch it as many times as you can before it runs away. Then, move right against the tree facing left and wait for it to appear. Once it appears, run left to avoid the pounce and repeat the process. Once it's defeated, go next to the tree to proceed to the next level. ============================================================================== [3.3] Level 3 ============================================================================== This is a new concept. Heh, catch all of the snowballs that Belle throws. If you miss three, then you lose a life. When you catch about 5 or 6 of them, she'll move left. Follow her. Make sure that you are still and facing her when the snowballs come your way, or you'll miss. She'll get faster as the level progresses. It's very difficult. Run after her when you're done playing with the snow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.2A] Part 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We're back indoors again. Head left at the begining of the level. Punch away the books, then climb up the ladder. Going right a little bit will lead you to a ladder, but don't climb it. Keep walking right to see a dented rail. Jump over that space or you'll fall down. Climb the ladder at the end of the path. Keep walking right until you find another ladder. Climb up, then start going back left. You should soon see a high ladder. Jump up to that, then jump across the very long gaps to the right. Keep going to see a ladder. Ignore it and climb the next one to the right. Proceed left and jump over the broken railings hidden gap. Jump onto the ladder and climb up some more. Jump across the longs gaps to the left until you reach a ladder. Go right after climbing that ladder. This platform can be a bit tricky. Just walk right and watch out for any broken railings. At the end of the path, climb up the ladder. Walk left and you'll see a shadow in one of the windows. A monster will pop out. It's a bit tricky to handle from here, so keep walking left until you reach the end of the path. The little monster will hover for a little while, so use this time to jump up and hit it several times before it retaliates. Run right, then back left. Jump up and hit some more to repeat the process. After about six or seven hits, the monster will fall. Walk right to finish the level. ============================================================================== [3.4] Level 4 ============================================================================== Ah, almost done. Walk right at the start of the level. You should eventually come upon some holes. These will lit up with sparks when lightning flashes, so be careful when crossing them. Jump across the moving platform and continue right. Jump an another moving platform. Carefully proceed up when the platforms line up with each other, then over to the left. This platform is like a trampoline and will fire you straight up. Land on the slippery green platform. Try not to jump too high when proceeding left. This lightning on the roof might strike you and that'll cause uneeded damage. When on the flat ground, watch out for those gaps. They are similar in color to the walls so you might miss them. You should soon get to some stairs. Beast moves faster when walking down stairs. Be sure to still watch out for the lightning strikes. You should get to a dead end. On the lower platform, make one, super long jump to the right and you'll hang on a platform. Go right and you'll end up at a door that leads to the next level! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.4A] Part 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Easy for the most part, compared with the last part. Just run right. You can't kill the enemies, so collect the things in the air and jump right over their attacks until you reach the door. Not much guidance possible on this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.4B] Part 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the final level. For now, run. The layout of most of the level is the same. Gaston will try to hit you with a bow and arrow or punch you if he's close. If he gets too close, sock Gaston with one of your own punches and run. This will be the precedure until you reach the top of the castle. From here, wait for Gaston to come. Punch him repeatedly. If you can't notice, he'll move slightly for every hit you land and you'll move slightly for every hit he lands. Punch until he falls off the castle. Watch the small ending scene. CONGRATULATIONS! You beat Beauty and the Beast! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX {4.0} FAQ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Q: Are there any bonuses for getting a high score? A: Nope, as far as I know. Q: How do I kill those rats on this first level? A: Continue moving left or right and they'll fall off. Just standing there will kill you. Q: Is there anything that happens after the ending screen? A: Nope. No credits either. :P Q: What is the purpose of the score? A: Nothing, I guess.
