Intro ~~~~~~~ This is my first attempt to hopefully complete a good walkthrough of Toki, a classical NES action game made by Taito. I put alot of work into this walkthrough, so I hope it helps you. If it doesn't, I hope you at least learn something from it, because I sure did. 2. Story ~~~~~~~ The story, as taken from the instruction booklet. So there I was, walking in the jungle with my girl, Miho. Man, she was beautiful. (By the way, I am - or was - Toki the Warrior.) Suddenly, I saw my worst enemy, Vookimedlo the Sorcerer, step out from behind a tree. With him was second worst enemy, Bashtar, the invisible giant. I should say "nearly invisible giant," 'cause you can see his boots, gloves, and heart. Well, they attacked us. As Bashtar carried Miho off, Vookimedlo turned me into a little helpless monkey. I was in despair, until the Spirit of the Jungle stepped in. The Spirit was really mad about the sneak attack, and so he gave me the ability to shoot fireballs from my mouth. (It feels like gargling.) Now, to win back Miho and my human form, I must go to the Golden Palace to beat Vookimedlo and Bashtar in a fair fight. But I'll do it, no matter what it takes. Come on along, it's going to be a wild ride! 3. Play Control ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Control Pad - use the control pad to move left or right, or up and down on vines. Use the A and B buttons to make more complicated movements. Start Button - Press the start button to pause the game and then to resume play when you are ready. Select Button - You will not need to use the Select button while playing this game. A Button - Press the A button to jump straight up into the air. B Button - Press the B button to shoot your weapon. Toki can walk, jump and shoot, sometime at the same time! For example You can hold down and forward, press B button to shoot while crawling forward. You can hold down and press the B button to crouch and shoot at the same time. You can hold up and forward press the B button to shoot diagonally while walking. You can hold forward and press the B button to shoot while walking. You can hold up and press B Button to shoot up. Or you can hold forward press A then Press B to jump forward and shoot. 4. Status ~~~~~~~~~ Counter-clockwise At the top left of the status bar there is a P:<#> this is the remaining lives Below that is your health meter. When you run out of hearts, you will lose a life. Next is a coin this shows how many coins you have collected so far Next is the Boss meter this shows you the boss's health for each level. It is empty until you reach the end boss. Each large filled box equals ten small dots. Each small dot equals one normal- powered hit. Next is the weapon it is a small box that appears when you pick up a weapon. Next is the timer. If it runs all the way down to zero. You will lose a life. Next the High Score Then last of all is your current score. 5. Items ~~~~~~~~ Along the way, Toki can collect a variety of items. Some are weapons, some are useful in other ways, and some are worth points. Some are carried by enemies; others are just lying along the path. Pick them all up if you can. Weapons Box with single dot - This is the Double Weapon, and it will make your shots twice as normal as normal. Box with the X - This is the Wave Weapon, and it will turn your shots into two shots that move like a wave. Box with three dots - This is the 3-way Weapon, and it will let you fire in three directions at once. Longer box with flame - This is the Flame Weapon, and it will let you shoot a stream of flames. Longer box with fireball - This is the Fireball Weapon, the most powerful weapon of all! It sizzles most enemies with one shot. When you have this weapon, a power meter will appear. If you wait until the meter is full, the shot will be more powerful. Helmet - when you have the helmet, enemies cannot hurt you. You will still be hurt by falling traps, so be careful. Clock - This Item adds time to the timer, giving you more time to complete the area. Heart container - This item, when collected and filled with a small heart, allows you to take one more point of damage in each life. Extra life - This item will add one number the number of lives you have left. You should try to grab every extra live you see, even though they are usually in the trickiest places to reach. Food - these tasty items will add points to your score, they include Strawberry, Turkey, Apple, and Banana. Shoes - These magical rabbit shoes give Toki an extra spring in his step. Toki will be able to jump much higher than usual if he wears these. Key - Some of the rooms are locked and guarded by monsters that have the key. You will have to defeat the guardian to get the key and proceed. 6. Enemies ~~~~~~~~~~ This section consists of descriptions of some of the enemies and monsters Toki will encounter during the course of his trip. Bouncing Monkey - This hyperactive monkey just will not sit still. Try to hit him while he is still far away because he can get very close with just a few bounces. SeedPod - These appear in groups of six. Smoke Genie - The genie just appears over your head and drops spears. Armour Lizard - You'll have to aim low or jump high to avoid being hit by this fellow. Flying Head - This guy flies by flapping his ears! Watch out for those missiles he fires though. Ape Warrior - These extremely tough guys are guardians of the Golden Palace. Magpie - The larcenous bird often carries stolen items around in its beak. Flaming Fish - He's not nearly as hot as he thinks he is, but he is still dangerous. Baby Dino - Watch out for the eggshells when he breaks out. He'll shoot fire at you, so get him quickly. Dancing Penguin - All he can think about is dance, dance, dance. If you are not careful around him, he'll being dancing at your funeral. Guardian Squid - He will block your path with his many arms, and he will shoot many little squids at you too. It takes many hits to defeat him. Crested Turkey - This big fellow would make a great Thanksgiving Dinner. But if you let him get too close to you, you will find yourself on his plate. 7. Levels ~~~~~~~~~ Labyrinth of Caves - This huge network of caves is controlled by Moornar, and he doesn't like you! You'll be climbing up, down, and sideways on vines and jumping from room to room. Watch out for crumbling floors. Lake Neptune- Get your swim fins and snorkels ready, 'cause the water is fine! You'll be swimming for your life through this large lake controlled by Rambacha. How long do you can hold your breath? Caverns of Fire - The mighty Mogulvor likes things hot, so he's moved into an active volcano! Watch out for the deadly molten lava in addition to lots of nasty enemies. If you can't stand the heat, get onto the next area. Ice Palace - When you get through the mountain, you come out at the icy peak. This is the domain of Zarzamoth, the woolly mammoth. The floors and walls are made of ice. Be sure to bring along your mittens. Dark Jungle - Thick, lush rain forest covers the valley floor. Lot's of dangerous animals run free here, and some of the plants are deadly too! This is the domain of Bashtar the Invisible Warrior. Golden Palace - This palace is where the magician known as Vookimedlo is holding Miho. Part man, part animal, he runs the palace with an iron, not golden, fist. He is very strong and protects himself with magic. 8. Play Strategies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you play the game, you may try several different strategies before you find the one that works for you. Here I'll explain a few possibilities, and tell you how to earn an extra life or two along the way. Play it safe - You can stay on the safe side by shooting each enemy as soon as possible. Go for broke - By jumping on certain enemies, you can collect some items that would otherwise be out of reach. Extra lives - There are three different ways Toki can earn extra lives. The extra life item as described earlier. Or you can gain an extra life every 50,000 points, or every time you collect 50 coins. 9. Walkthrough ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stage 1 - Labyrinth of Caves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The evil hand of bashtar has seized lovely Miho, Her beloved, the mighty Toki, has also dealt a wicked blow. Now reduced to a lowly ape, Toki must risk a perilous journey to free Miho and regain his manhood. Typical first level. Not too hard, It's main reason is too get you familiar with the game. Toki starts by some jungle ruins. Make your way right, killing the flying seed pods for coins, and the triangular plants for safety. Watch out for that White monkey, jump on his head three times to put him out of commission. As you enter the cave, kill the flying bird to receive the Wave Weapon, and then shoot the cone shaped spiky thing for some food. Also make sure to get the bouncing monkey before he gets you. Get the football helmet by stepping on the platform, but jump out before you get hurt. Be sure not to rush this new area. If you stay up top and shoot the two flying animals, then jump down on to the monkey's head, and shoot the booby trap before it hits you. Jump on the seesaw with the weight to launch yourself up. Make sure to watch for the broken egg, as it will also hurt you. Shoot the first three heads on the wall, and to hit the fourth, shoot up twice and jump after your shots to watch it die. Climb up, shoot the monkeys and get the Flame Weapon, then continue on your way. For the next section you have two choices, 1) you can kill the bird and two crabs then climb down the vine, or 2) simply jump down. When you go down, whichever way you choose, watch out for the enemy who pops out at the bottom. Kill the Spiky guy to get food. Continue on, make sure you kill the three next enemies, then jump on the White Monkey and get the 3-Way Weapon above his head. Jump across the pit, but watch out for the collapsing ledge and the two enemies on the other side. Start climbing the stairs but before you reach the top shoot the bobbing enemy in front of you. There are some shoes up ahead, and after you jump on the weight, use the shoes to get another football helmet. Now head right, and kill the seed pods for coins. Jump across the gap and get ready to face the boss. Boss: Big Brown Headed guy! Easy boss. Stand on the opposite edge of the screen and keep shooting him and his bouncing monkey minion's attack you, and when he jumps, run under him to the other side of the screen. Simple. Stage 2 - Lake Neptune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having safely traveled the labyrinth of caves, and escaped the jaws at the gate of Moornar Toki sets out across the shark-infested waters of Neptune. But beware the eyes of Rambacha! As you start Neptune Lake you will be under a cliff with a green monkey firing a canon. I don't know how Toki got there but now he has to get out and save Miho. Start up the hill and jump to shoot the green monkey. Grab the double gun and shoot the enemy above your head. Then start up the vine, about half way up you can shoot the two flying foes on the left side of the screen. Once you reach the top, there are nine enemies, seven of them which can be killed in a shot or two. Try to shoot the enemy being encircled and all the surrounding enemies will die instantly. Then just shoot the other two. Jump down to your left, but down worry there is a platform ready to catch your fall. Then jump to your left again to snatch up the flame weapon, and climb up the next vine. Make your way to your right and you will find an ensemble of enemies, you must worry about the flying angel ghost and bouncing monkey, as the seedpod will be back. Once they return just shoot them down and take their coins. Now its time to see if Toki can swim. Turns out he can. Jump in and grab the 3-way weapon, and use it to make your way to the bottom of the screen, get the wave weapon and head to your right. Shoot the crazy turtles and make your way through the hole in the wall. Once you're through, head up and shoot the other circus of turtles, then jump out of the water to receive your 3-way weapon again. Continue on to your right and jump out of the water to shoot the oncoming bird. Once its dead, grab the helmet and prepare for King Triton, but don't fret he is a pushover. If you still have the helmet, swim into him and keep shooting. If for some reason you do don't still have the helmet just swim behind him and shoot him in the back. I know it's not the honorable thing to do, but you can do it anyway. Then continue up the corridor. Once you're out of the water jump on the moving platform ahead, shoot the bird and the ghost then prepare for Rambacha. Boss: Rambacha Flying Eyeball dude, rather easy if you know what you're doing, and that is what I'm here for. Stand underneath of him and shoot up. As his eye really opens move out of the way, then jump, then jump on his eyeballs while firing at Rambacha. He will then disappear, once he reappears over you continue to shoot up until he dies. Stage 3 - Caverns of Fire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Made bold by his recent conquest, Toki enters the blazing heart of the caverns of fire in search of Miho, here he will face a deadly test against Maguldor, the beastly guardian of this underground inferno. As you start off in he caverns of fire you must start heading to your right. Jump on the moving platform to get across the pit of burning magma. After you're across the pit look out for the white monkey. You can jump on his head to receive the charge weapon. Jump across the next pit and continue on your way, but be cautious of the traps on the ground. If you don't step on them they can't hurt you. Look up between the two traps to shoot the ghost hovering over top of your head. Continue to the top then ride the lift down. At the bottom shoot the flaming bird to receive the key. You may use the helmet on the left to help you if you need it. Jump down to your right and collect the power weapon, but watch out for the traps again. Continue down the slope and shoot everything in your way. Then head to your left shooting barriers and ghosts as you go. Continue up the hill and shoot the bouncing monkeys. Climb down the vine, and ride the platform, continue down and collect the wave weapon. Ride down the lift and shoot the flaming bird again. Once you've received the key you can continue on. Climb down the slope and shoot the enemy hiding below. Drop down the hole onto the platform to ride across the lava. If your are feeling perky you can jump on the moth like enemies heads to acquire the 1up. Continuing on to your right will be many bouncing monkeys and traps. Make sure you eliminate them all. Next you will come upon a large gap; you must time your jump and grab the swinging vine. Jump off to grab the power weapon then shoot the armour pod. Continue on shooting Dino's and jumping gaps. Next swing across the vines, but don't stay in the middle or you'll fall in. Make your way to the boss on your right. Boss: Maguldor Maguldor likes to burp, but you will learn to hate it. You have to shoot Maguldor while his arm is in an upward position or he will just block your shots. But that's not all you have to worry about, when he burps you have to shoot the burp out of the sky. If you don't you may just get squished. After Maguldor melts away you can collect your prize. Stage 4 - Ice palace ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From fire into ice Toki's mission takes him into the forbidden reaches of the Ice Palace. After swimming the underground passage he must emerge to fight the frozen monster Zarzamoth. You start out in this Ice Palace heading to your right. Once you come across a gap in the ground all you have to do is simply jump from grey brick to grey brick. Once you have made it across shoot the bouncing monkeys and continue up the stairs. Once you make it to the very top jump on the lift and go up even higher. If you head to your right shooting all the enemies and destroying all the traps you will receive a pair of shoes and a helmet. Head down the lift and jump on the flying monkey head at the bottom. Head left shooting the 2 ghosts and 3 bouncing monkeys. Ride the lift down, then jump on the bug to grab the helmet, and open the passage. Next you must dive into the water and shoot everything in your way. Near the end watch out, don't let the enemies get their tentacles around you. Jump out of the water and head toward the boss. Boss: Zarzamoth To beat Zarzamoth you must simply shoot him in his stomach. Don't worry, it's a big target. This boss is not terribly hard if you're good at dodging his tusks and extending trunk. If you can do this you will be fine. Once Zarzamoth is defeated you can collect your prize. Stage 5 - Dark Jungle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The crashing Thunder leads Toki to the dense canopy of the Dark Jungle. Fighting his way through tangled vines. Toki faces a deadly contest against an old enemy, the pouncing Bashtar, If he wins, Miho won't be far. You start in what looks like the Amazon. Head to your right and jump over the pit of spikes. Keep going, once you get to the barriers you can jump on the moth type enemies heads and grab the wave weapon well you clear the barriers. Keep walking and shoot the plant that drops in front of you, jump the pit, and collect the helmet. After you enter the ruin city you get to swing on the vines again. Once you're across shoot the ghosts jump on the white monkey's head and grab the shoes. Then make your way to the catapult, and fly high. If you still have the shoes you can jump to grab the 1up, if you don't just jump on the moths back. Climb up until you get to the next catapult, then use it. Keep on your way and swing across the next pit. After that you have to time your jumps to safely make it across the next pit. Then prepare for Bashtar. Boss: Bashtar The secret to beating Bashtar is to get behind him, if you can manage that, then you only have to shoot up at his heart well his hands aren't protecting it. Once you defeat Bashtar's heart his feet and hands will die as well. Then you can collect your prize. Stage 6 - Golden Palace ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toki's final quest takes him to the place of Miho's imprisonment the Golden Palace; Skating across the bridge of this Toki must battle his way through to his greatest foe Vookimeldo. Everything hangs in the balance. In the Golden Palace you must prepare for the final boss. Head to your right dodging traps and shooting henchmen as you go. Once you come across the flying head just jump on it. Head up the stairs shooting the henchmen and get ready for the fun part. Yes that's right you get to go skateboarding. Just jump on the skateboard and let it do all the work. Jump across the pit and grab the helmet but make sure you land on the next skateboard or else you will die. As you continue on you will have the opportunity to grab some coins and the wave weapon. Then abandon the skateboard and jump to land. Shoot the henchmen and head up the stairs. Then yah, that's right more skateboarding. Jump on and try to grab the 1up, continue on and grab the helmet. As the skateboard begins to leave the track hold right on the controller the whole time to land on the next skateboard. You can grab the shoes but the are most likely just going to screw you up. Then you can grab the charge or the flame weapon and abandon the skateboard for the last time. As you reach solid ground shoot the henchmen and head on over to the end boss, Vookimeldo. Boss: Vookimeldo Vookimeldo is obviously the hardest boss in the game. He seems to have three forms. The first for is harmless. Wait until he transforms then blast away, basically everywhere is a hit. But watch out for the little spinning disks he fires at you. Once you have defeated his second form be prepared for the hard part. You have to shoot his heart, which can be awfully hard to hit sometimes. At the same time you must dodge his three orange balls he fires at you and his head when he charges you. Once you have finally beat him it is... The End. Your Quest is over. The evil forces have been conquered. Toki, the warrior, embraces his sweetheart Miho in his arms.
