I N T R O D U C T I O N .1 =======-------------------------------------------------------------------===== = Freaky Flyers is a pretty good and funny racing game that I'm sure everyone who has it enjoys despite the lack of popularity it has. I was mainly disappointed by the poor number of different races it has. It sure has some fun sub-goals, but some are way too hard and frustrating. The mini-games it has are fun too, but can become pretty boring after a while. I was also disappointed by the poverty of the multiplayer mode. Despite all of that, I'm still glad to be an owner of Freaky Flyers and I hope my FAQ will help you in collecting all the funny secret characters the game has to offer...

A D V E N T U R E .2 =======-------------------------------------------------------------------===== = =============================================================================== ** RACES ** *************************** Here you will find a list of the tracks, their locations, shortcuts and tips to arrive first in each. =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* BigFoot Mountain =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Location : Canada Description : Fly scenic Canada!

Dangerous gold mines and bustling casinos! Shortcuts/Tips : This level isn't too hard and there are no real shortcuts, but when you arrive to the mine, you can fly over it instead of going inside, it can save you some time. You can also shoot down the other flyers, always useful. =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thugsville =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Location : Chicago, USA Description : Remember, don't shoot the cops or they might just shoot back. Shortcuts/Tips : Try to open up the Boost Ring Highways without loosing time and it should help you quite a lot for arriving first. Watch out for the missiles in the buildings area... =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Cave of Blunders =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Location : Shiek-ago, Arabia Description : Soar through magic carpet congested streets. Lost temples and even a coliseum! Shortcuts/Tips : You absolutely have to open up all the Boost Ring Highways to win this race. All the Boost Highways are situated in the shortcuts so it will save you a lot of time. Also, if you're low on health, always go to the right before the palace, in the harem room, the girls there will refill your health! =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Danger Island =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Location : Caribbean Description : Pirates and volcanoes and voodoo pygmies. Oh my! Shortcuts/Tips : Open all the Boost Highways to win this race, especially the red one, since it's so easy and useful. I found it easy to arrive first in this race, so it should be no problem. Also, after the pirates area, you can shoot on the voodoo dolls floating in the air and it will hurt the players corresponding to the dolls! =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Monster Isle =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Location : Tokyo, Japan Description : Giant monsters. Attack planes. Ninjas and falling meteors are common sights. Shortcuts/Tips : Once again, open up all the Boost Ring Highways. I found the green one to be the more useful.

A haunted castle and graveyard! Can you survive? Shortcuts/Tips : This is definitively the hardest one. Open up all the Boost Ring Highways if you even want a chance of arriving first. The green one is the more useful. The only shortcut I found useful was before the castle, dive down and go into the mountainside tunnel instead. =============================================================================== ** MINI-GAMES ** *************************** Here you will find strategies for beating the mini-games easily and obtaining high scores. =-------------------------= Bandito Attack! =-------------------------= To win this stage, you'll have to destroy the 7 enemy bases WHILE protecting the fortress. The trick is to start by killing all the banditos around the fortress and then to destroy ONE base. Then, you return to the fortress and kill all the new banditos around the fortress. You return to destroy ONE base. One at a time! Always return to protect the fortress after destroying one base. Sometimes the train will come and men will repair the fortress if it's damaged. Destroy the 7 enemy bases to complete the level. Tips : If you're low on health, you can shoot the rooster sign on top of the fortress to replenish your energy bar. PERFECT SCORE Finish under 3:00 3 Lives Left Destroying all Forts (7) All Machine Guns Destroyed Fort Health (95% or higher when you finish) =-------------------------= Intestinal Track =-------------------------= In this stage, you'll have to find the exit before you run out of oxygen. Your oxygen is shown at the top of the screen and you have to collect oxygen cells along the way to always keep enough oxygen. When you run out of oxygen, you'll loose health directly on your energy meter so you have to rapidly find another oxygen cell. When you see a brown thing that pops out of the tunnel and release a kind of green smog, brake to avoid it. You also have to avoid the white blood cells at all cost since you can't kill them. When you arrive in the big room with the hair, you're at the exit. Tips : At one place, the path will split in two so take the top right path. It seems to be shorter than the normal one. PERFECT SCORE Have good health when finishing 3 Lives Left All Oxygen Cells collected Shoot all pop-up polyps (brown things that pops out) =-------------------------= Torpedo Run =-------------------------= Here you'll have to destroy the 15 enemy ships while protecting your carrier. You have to take the torpedo on your carrier and then launch it at one of the enemy ship. To launch a torpedo, you have to do a loop in direction of the ship you want to hit. Note that you can launch a torpedo from very far, you're not forced to be close to the ship to launch it. Most of the ships will take 2 torpedo hits before sinking. The big enemy carrier will take 5 and one of the ships will take 3. There are torpedoes around the island too, not only on your carrier. You have to destroy the ships before then leave the area or you'll lose. At the start, you have enough time (if you're fast) to destroy two ships before the submarine appears. You absolutely have to destroy the submarines before the other ships because the submarines will do very big damages to your carrier! Note that you can launch a torpedo on the submarine's lens, you're not forced to wait until it surfaces. Then, continue to destroy the other ship sand they'll then be another submarine you have to destroy. From then, you should have more than half of your carrier's health left. When the third batch of ships arrive, they should have torpedo launchers and flying monkeys. Don't shoot torpedoes at them yet! You have to destroy their guns first. Destroy all the torpedo launchers on the ships and the monkey launchers and only then, when they can't shoot anymore on you, destroy them with torpedoes once for all. Tips : If you're low on health, you can shoot the rooster sign on your carrier to replenish your energy bar. PERFECT SCORE Finish under 6:00 3 Lives Left All enemy ships destroyed (15) All ships machine guns blown up =-------------------------= X =-------------------------= Pilot X's health is shown to you at the top of the screen and he seems to have a lot. You'll have to shoot on him continuously in order to damage him. He'll start by creating a kind of electrical fence where you have to pass through the circle thing to avoid damages. He'll repeat this some times and he'll then send robot things. These things will shoot on you and then try to crash on you. You have to move a lot to avoid all of this. When Pilot X starts shaking, don't stand still, move out of his way or he'll rush into you, killing you in one hit! As soon as you can through the process, shoot on him as many times as you can and he'll eventually run out of health. =============================================================================== ** SUB-GOALS ** *************************** Here you will find a list of the sub-goals for each race and strategies for completing each. =-------------------------= BigFoot Mountain =-------------------------= *Collect Acorns. *You have to collect 25 acorns through the level.

Professor Gutentaag & SVEN 209 ------------------------------- Professor Gutentaag, a cuckoo clock billionaire from Switzerland. Flies a robot made of cuckoo clock parts. Despite his inventiveness, he's not a nice person and treats his robot companion SVEN 209 very badly. Sven is sweet and dim-witted and would much rather be playing video games than participating in a worldwide combat race. Island Jack ------------ Island Jack was living peacefully on his beach in Danger Island when he was "volunteered" by the island's chief to participate in the race... mostly by tying him up and throwing him into a plane on auto-pilot. All Island Jack wants to do is find his way home... preferably listening to some groovy tunes along the way. Johnny Turbine --------------- Meet Johnny Turbine, a true blue American hero! At least that's how Johnny describes himself to anyone he meets - although he will carefully explain that he's not really "blue"... more kind of fleshy-colored. He's certain though that the whole world will see him as a great American hero too as soon as he wins the Freaky Flyers' race. Marcels Moreso --------------- Cursed with a rare genetic condition of being born siamese twin mimes (there once was a case known to medical history of mime triplets... but they were torn apart by an angry crowd), the Marcels Moreso brothers have never really learned to get along and are constantly bickering. They have joined to competition to find their long lost mother - a clown who abandonned them for fear of clown discrimination. Myrna Bookbottom ----------------- Repressed English librerian Myrna Bookbottom has led a sheltered life in dreary England. When the Freaky Flyer races come along, she looks at it as her last chance at adventure. The only glitch is that when things get too hot, her alter ego Margaret Basher comes out to play - becoming the outgoing butt-kicker she's dreamed she's been all of these years. Mick Bungadoo -------------- Mick hails from Australia where he spent his early years boxing kangaroos... or rather, getting beaten up by kangaroos. He's trying to take his read kill BBQ chain worldwide and is using the race as a promotion for it, taking his camera time to talk about how delicious fresh grilled dingo is. Doesn't even get him started on wallabies. Margaret Basher ---------------- The yang of Myrna's yin. Margaret is the cat-kicking alter ego that burns under the surface of the meek Myrna Bookbottom. Margaret would give her entire automatic arms collection to get rid of the pesky librarian who always comes along to ruin her fun... and put out the fires she's started. And who knows... maybe in the Freaky Flyer race she'll get her chance! Pauli Atchi ------------ Pauli, the reigning gang boss of Chicago, can make a hardened criminal break out in a cold sweat merely by showing him his cold, toothy grin. But when his mother's calling, it's him who's in the hot seat. Insult his mother, and he becomes so furious that he is actually put briefly out of commission with rage. Pilot X -------- Pilot X is a mysterious alien aviator with a terrible chip on his mysterious alien shoulder. Suffering from severe self-image problems, he feels the need to prove himself to be the finest aviator in the universe. He's defeated inhabitants of over two thousands worlds. Sammy Wasabi ------------- Sammy Wasabi, Japanese Genius Magazine's "Genius of the Year", and top aeronautic engineer. His lastest and greatest achievement is the KAMIKAZE EXPRESS - a jet crammed so full of gadgets and gizmos, Sammy is the only one actually able to operate it! Sheik Abdul ------------ This oil gazillionaire (depending on today's price of oil) is in the race to get away from his enormous harem that nag and henpeck him at every turn. It's really a vicious cycle for the Sheik - he thinks every new wife will make his life easier... only to find them joining the ranks of the controlling members of "His and Harem inc." His only reprieve is his best friend Humpy the Camel. Traci Torpedoes ---------------- Top secret german experiment Traci Torpedoes is about to learn about her mysterious past. Raised from birth in the cockpit of a fighting plane, Traci has been unleashed on the Freaky Flyers races in the name of the fatherland! Considering herself a "genetic mutant freak", Traci spends most of her time shooting mirrors that reflect her disgusting visage. =============================================================================== ** POWER-UPS ** *************************** Homing Missile --------------- This cool looking and powerful power-up can severely damage an enemy plane. Once an enemy plane is bracketed with the red missile target, fire the missile to home in on the target. One counter measure to the Homing missile is the Shield power-up which actually reflects the homing missile BACK to the racer who fired it. There is one missile per pick-up. Anti-gravity Mines ------------------- These Fun floating mines can be placed nearly anywhere on the race track. These come in a pack of 3. (Place them in the Boost Highways!) Rockets -------- Rockets are fast moving non-homing projectiles that come in packs of 5. Health ------- This is a one-time use item that repairs 50% of your plane's damage. There is only one use per pick-up. Nitro ------ The nitro is one time speed boost that lasts for 2 seconds. There is only one nitro per pick-up. Shields -------- Shield provides a temporary invulnerability attack. There's only one shield per pick-up. Freaky Bomb ------------ The Freaky bomb is the only power-up item that cannot be obtained by collecting the random power-up item. It's rewarded to the player who opens up a Boost ring highway. Once activated, the Freaky bomb will damage all unshielded planes 50% damage. ======-------------------------------------------------------------------====== = 4.
