Shubibinman Zero Most of you have probably never heard of this game, since it is in Japanese and pretty old. Kaizou Ningen Shubibinman 1 and 2 were released for the PC Engine, and Shubibinman Zero was released for the Super Nintendo. This is the best version, in my opinion. Characters: Shubibinman Raita He looks like Tai from Digimon: Digital Monsters with that huge hair and blue outfit. He fights with his fists, and is very brave against the enemy. Attacks: The Y Button: Punch Hold the Y Button: Energy Attack. Raita charged energy like Goku's KameHameHa and releases it. Energy Uppercut: Raita's ultimate attack. Hold down for a second, then press toward and Y. Raita punches upward for a good long time. Shubibinman Azuki A pink-haired fighter. She is courageous and is the most powerful of the two warriors you get to fight with. She fights with a sword, and is extremely deadly at all times. Attacks: The Y Button: Punch Hold the Y Button: Energy Attack. Azuki charges energy in her sword and unleashes it in a ball of energy. Energy Kick: Azuki's ultimate attack. This is what makes Azuki stronger than Raita. Jump, and tap the Y Button twice. Azuki will kick with energy on her foot. Professor Jinguii He is wise and thoughtful, and can get a little violent at times. Commander Galko A purple haired, purple clothed woman. She commands the soldiers and the machines that are sent against you and the city. She has extremely powerful legs that allow her to escape custody just by jumping. You never actually fight her, but you do have to destroy several pillars while she throws bombs at you later in the game. Kagemaru A powerful fighter with several stages. He fights you now and then, powering up all the time. He will prove to be one of the most powerful bosses you will have to defeat. Dr. Shen KungSi Also called Dr. Psycho Clown by me. He resembles a clown, and is an insane genius that masterminds B.B. Dan. Walkthrough Level One: The Construction Site B.B. Dan is causing great havoc in the city, and it is up to you to destroy them. Choose between Raita and Azuki. If you want to play as Raita, simply choose 1 Player. If you want to play as Azuki, choose 2 Player and then let Raita get killed. Anyway, let's get on with the level. The first stage isn't that difficult. You face Infantry and JumperBots. For the Infantry, just beat them up. The JumperBots are also easy. Wait until they land, then beat them up. The second stage involves more Infantry and JumperBots. You also face construction workers that throw hammers at you. Don't worry, these enemies are extremely easy. They can be taken care of with one blast or several punches (or slices, if you are Azuki). Continue on inside the construction zone, where you face the same enemies and Bazooka Soldiers, who wear red and shoot endless lines of rockets at you. They are very slow in shooting, so just press down so he misses, advance when he stops shooting, and keep doing this until you get close enough to him to beat him up. If you are Raita, a fun thing to do is to get right next to him and press down, and then do the uppercut. The fourth stage isn't difficult either. You don't face any new enemies, and you've seen the last of the hammer-throwing construction workers. Then you go out, and Galko shows up. She laughs at you, then sends the first boss at you. Boss: Yunhoe This guy is too easy. As soon as he appears, blast him. Then he will run at you. Beat him up. Don't worry if he hits you once or twice, if you keep hitting him, he'll die really fast. Galko is disgruntled that you have defeated her creature. She jumps away, and you return to the Professor's lab. There, Professor Jinguii if analytically thinking about the G- Force Accelerator and B.B. Dan. Two Infantry soldiers show up, tie the Professor up, and steal the accelerator. You run in afterwards, and the Professor screams at you to go after them; the accelerator is really powerful. You run after them to the Museum. Level Two: The Museum There are statues by you on your way. Most of these, Infantry soldiers are hiding in. They will jump out to ambush you. Beat them up. You face spinning gingerbread men. These die with one punch. You also face fire breathing lizards that I like to call Bowser-men, because they look a whole lot like Bowser. Just jump behind him when he breathes fire, and blast him. He goes down after two blasts. After two stages, you face Kagemaru in his weakest form. He is basically a street fighter with a knife. Boss: Kagemaru Normal Form Jump on a platform, and wait for him to go on the same platform. Hit him, and them go on the floor and prepare an energy attack. He will go on the floor too, and run toward you. Before he can hit you, blast him. Keep doing this, and he will be defeated easily. Kagemaru wonders how you beat him, and lets you go. After that, you face accordion fist that spring up and down in their holes. Don't worry, these can't move. They blow bubbles that can hurt you, but the bubbles are easily avoided. Go next to them and blast them. They'll explode. At the final stage, jump to the top ledge and then onto the pipe that's sticking up. Then fire a blast to your right. You should see the screen shaking. wait for the orange fireball to leave the screen, then continue. Go to the passageway below. See the green pole? That's why I told you to blast before. Anyway, there are two soldiers here. Kill them, blast the gate, and continue. Here you are at a room with three fireballs flying around and a soldier patrolling on a high platform. Kill him if you want, but he doesn't really do anything. After you're ready, get out of the room. You end up in a pool room. Galko shows up, and is mad that you got past her museum. You yell that those defenses were pathetic (if you are Raita), and she sends Tako against you. Boss: Tako Tako is an octopus with two tentacles. What you have to do is destroy his head. You can destroy his tentacles, but destroying his tentacles just destroys his defenses, it doesn't beat the boss. If you want to kill the tentacles, then beat up the first stage, which is a head that shoots balls at you. Then it becomes a drill that moves extremely quickly. After you beat this stage up, it becomes a hand holding a sign with a ticked - off face on it. Destroy this stage and you've destroyed his tentacle. Afterwards, you see that Galko has escaped and the accelerator is nowhere to be seen. You return to the lab. There, you see a news report about some movements in the forest. Level Three: The Forest Base Here you face steel porcupines. You can beat them up even if they are charging at you. Anyway, go through the first two stages. Be sure not to fall off the trees or in the water, where applicable. The third stage has a bridge on it. Go on the bridge and you'll see fish jump out of the water, discharge energy, and fall back. Ignore these fish - they can't hurt you unless you jump and hit them while they are discharging. Charge through the bridge and beat up the Infantry soldiers running around. There is a Bazooka Soldier here, just duck to evade his rocket and then kill him. At the end, there is another one, but since he is off the bridge, you have to jump to evade his attack. After you cross the bridge, if you're hurt, then just wait for the fist to appear. If you beat them up, you can receive Kuroden (full healing) or Akaden (one life bar) as an item. When you're fully healed or when the fish are all gone, exit. From here, go in the base. There are sometimes saws on the ground, so make sure you're ready to jump when needed. Step cautiously, for there are buttons that shoot spears out when touched. You don't meet any new enemies here. Sometimes there are walls that are cracked; you can blast these to destroy them. Be sure to conserve HP, because you'll hit the boss afterwards. The second level is the same thing. The third you just have to go all out in terms of jumping and attacking. Beat up all the rocket launching soldiers first, and be sure not to let the saw cut you in half. Then you run out into the roof. Galko laughs at you, then sends two ninjas at you. Boss: Ninja1 and Ninja2 These don't look like ninjas, but they sure fight like them. They teleport around so you can't hit them while they move, they turn into eagles and drop bombs at you, and into wolves and charge you. If they are eagles, follow them around and when the change back, beat them up. When they are wolves, let them come, and jump right before they hit you. Then when they go to normal, beat them up. The only thing hard is that there are two of them, and they uncannily work together to bring about your demise. A little maneuvering and attacking should bring about theirs. After this, Galko is ticked off, then walks off into a tunnel. You follow. Level Four: Secret Base You start out in a cave. Watch out for those fire dragons. Blast them as soon as you see them, because once they start spitting fire, they are very fast, hard to hit, not to mention shooting many fire balls that can kill you. Other than that, you don't have much to worry about for now. Sooner or later, Kagemaru will show up again. Boss: Kagemaru Vegita Form Okay, he's not Vegita. But he looks a whole lot like him, and fights as powerfully too, so I'll call him that whether you like it or not. Anyway, he can not teleport across the screen to where you are so he can attack. So the thing to do is to keep moving. Beat him up, move around, and when he teleports, jump away and then give him another thrashing. Because of his new powers, he may be a little hard now, but he should go down sooner or later. Here's a tip: Don't attempt to use blasts right after you've hit him. He'll teleport, and you can't go that fast. After you've jumped away, jump to the floor and prepare a blast. When he hits the floor, blast him. right now he doesn't dodge; he just attacks. He'll be hit. He also only teleports after you hit him, so keep that in mind. Now you're on a train. Jump on a platform and beat up the guys to receive Akaden, if you need to patch up some holes that Kagemaru might have beaten into you. Next, you'll see big guys with arms that extend. The arms are fast, so only kill him by going out of range and blasting him, or going under him and waiting until his arm is fully extended, then jump up and hit him. NEVER attack from the bottom when he is extending his arm or when he has his arm fully un-extended. You'll be hit due to his speed. Anyway, there's a part where there is a long platform and 4 or 5 Infantry Soldiers jump you. Don't worry, just keep moving forward and pressing punch. They'll all die eventually, and go back to pick up the items. At the end, there is a funny-looking conductor. He doesn't do anything, but to end the level, you have to kill him. One blast will do just nicely. Now you're in the base. There are machines that generate electricity, so be careful not to walk under them while they're doing that. Other than that, there is nothing new. At the end of the entire level, Galko leads you into a room and the door closes behind you. She does the point-dramatically-at-you- pose, which means... Boss: Master He isn't the Master. He's actually an insane clown in a flying machine powered by 3 fuel tanks. When he is rising, punch the fuel tanks as much as possible to make them smoke. He'll throw bombs at you from above. Just walk back and forth at the bottom to avoid them. He'll also throw balloons at you that say Nore Up. These don't hurt you, but they can be used to get up high so you can beat the Master up. Dodge the missiles and use the balloons, and hit his fuel tanks. He should find out that he isn't the Master very soon. Galko has escaped again, so you return to the lab. There, B.B. Dan's space base is rising, meaning that they'll fly off soon using the accelerator. Will you let that happen? I hope not... Level Five: Space Base Assuming you won't let B.B. Dan fly off, you enter the base, which is decorated with pictures of Galko and B.B. Dan words. Ignore all that and concentrate on beating up the enemies. There are ninja ladies here that flip around and hit you. They aren't hard, but they have a lot of hit points. It takes a lot to finally kill them. Another thing is to obviously not fall in the spike pits. If you do, it's almost impossible to get out. So you'll die there. There are also bunnies that spit strawberry bombs at you. Kill them before they do too much damage. There are bridges that connect the towers. There are gaps, so watch out. Make sure to kill any rocket launchers on the other side first, as they might shoot you and send you falling to the nether depths. At the end of a bridge waits Kagemaru. Be sure to kill a bunny and get the Kuroden from her. You'll need it. Boss: Kagemaru Super Saiyan Vegita Form Now it gets hard. Kagemaru can do Vegita's Syougekiha, which is an invisible wave attack. It does span the whole screen, so being across the screen isn't much protection anymore. Instead, go to the highest platform. His wave attack is useless here. So, he'll teleport. Jump off when he teleports, beat him up when he tries to follow you, and jump on the platform. Do this repeatedly to beat him. Go through the last levels. You'll then see Dr. Shen KungSi talking on a screen. You show up, scaring the Infantry away. You argue with him for awhile, and then you run out. Cross another bridge and go up the stairs. you'll meet Galko again. She asks you how you will fare against the entire weapons system of the base. She leaps away, and the battle begins. Boss: Meke This looks hard. Meke's head is at the top of the screen, and 4 guns are below her, shooting missiles at you. But this battle is actually the easiest, if you are patient. Dodge all the missiles until the 4 guns align under her and the bottom one shoots a missile, the one above it, and then the one above that one, and then the top one. Jump on the missiles to get to Meke's level, then beat her up. If you are Azuki, this battle is even easier. After you get up to the head, do the Energy Kick. It'll take off 3/4 of Meke's HP if done correctly. After Meke is destroyed, you run out to confront Galko. Galko runs to two space scooters, saying the ship is blasting off and that she is leaving. You follow her on another scooter. Back on Earth, Professor Jinguii is ticked off that the ship is blasting off. He doesn't know that you are about to bring it back down. Level Six: Spaceship This resembles Mega Man, doesn't it? Run around, and kill the enemies. There are flying monsters that unleash a volley of shurikens at you eventually, so kill them before they can do that. Other than that, there isn't a challenge. Yet. After a few levels, Galko realizes that you are extremely powerful and that Infantry soldiers can't kill you. So she decides to do away with you herself. Boss: Galko You don't really fight her. She stands on a platform supported by 5 pillars. Your job is to destroy the pillars. Easy? Galko is at the top, throwing presents at you. How nice! At least that's what you think, until bombs pop out of the boxes and you get blown up. So, dodge the boxes and concentrate on the pillars. If you are Raita, use the Uppercut. You'll basically destroy a pillar with about two hits. If you are Azuki, use the Kick, which will destroy the pillar with one hit. After the pillars are down, Galko falls, and then leaps out. You see her fly off on a balloon. Enraged, you storm the rest of the base. This level is really hard, though. See how the border of the screen is sometimes blue? When it is, don't jump or go on a platform higher than the one you are on. You see, there is a field generator at the end that is releasing energy that destroys anyone doing the above. So, advance cautiously until you get to a higher level. Then, you have no choice but to all-out run. Keep going and ignore the times you are hit. Just keep going. When you see the generator, destroy it so you don't die there. There is another level after this one that has some healing Akadens and Kurodens if you need it. Then, you face Kagemaru one last time. Boss: Kagemaru Ultimate Saiyan Vegita Form This battle is extremely difficult. Only a true master can defeat him without dying. All right. At first, jump and attack. Then go on the very highest level. Be sure to move, since he WILL teleport and if you sit there you WILL get hit. So move, and when he jumps down to kill you, beat his feet, then when he falls further, beat his body. Then move up to the highest level again. Repeat this until he is dead. Realizing that you are a true warrior and can't be defeated, Kagemaru offers to help you. He runs out, and Dr. Shen KungSi blows up a piece of ground, making him fall to his death. You run to the spot, angry that such a cold-blooded thing just happened, then you run onward. You finally meet Dr. Shen KungSi face to face. He laughs at you, and challenges you to attack him. You soon see that there is an invisible barrier here. If you are Raita, uppercut it, and you'll see exactly why the uppercut is so powerful. You uppercut upwards for a really long time, and basically destroy the barrier in one hit. If you are Azuki, do the same thing and the barrier will fall. Well, that's the least of your problems. Boss: G-Force Accelerator Dr. Shen KungSi flies up, and you see the accelerator powering everything behind him. Little blue things that look like AR Wings from Starfox 64 show up, shooting red energy bolts at you. These are really hard to destroy because of their firing mechanism and their size. The only easy way is to play two player, one killing the little fighters and another destroy the accelerator. Which brings me to my next point. You have to destroy the accelerator, which will take a few hits to do. You have to accomplish these while avoiding the little AR Wings, If you are single player, and Raita, uppercut the accelerator. You'll uppercut for a long time again, and if the little ships are there, they'll get blown up. More will arrive, but if you did it correctly the accelerator should be smoking by now. Give it several more hits and it will destruct. If you are Azuki, energy kick the accelerator. This is where Raita proves better than Azuki. If you are kicking, you'll slice downward with energy on your foot. The AR Wings are below you, shooting at you. You'll get hit, and the accelerator won't really be hurt since you were stopped at halfway through your attack. Anyway, I hope you saved up those lives that were given to you earlier. this is the hardest thing to do in the whole game. After the accelerator is destroyed, the evil Doctor will fall down and blow up. The ship is now exploding. You have to run back out. There are no enemies in this stage, and the only threat to your life is if you fall into a pit. Of course, if you are stupid enough to do something like that, you wouldn't have gotten this far in the game. So, run out. Then you try to escape in your scooter. A fireball shows up and blows you back down. Dr. Shen KungSi shows up again in holograph form, and says that his data was still intact. Then he sends two bosses at you. Level Eight: Final Conflict First, you face the first boss. Boss: Boss He's named Boss, but his HP doesn't look like it. But, his finger shoots lasers at an incredibly fast rate. It is virtually impossible to dodge them all and destroy him at the same time. So, just ignore the hits and just go all-out and beat on him until he explodes. Walk onward a little, and you'll meet the last boss. Boss: Boss He is also named Boss, but he is different from the first one. He actually looks organic and not a machine. His HP are the same, though. Start off the battle immediately by beating up the pulsing bulge on his stomach. Just keep punching until those little gray things start getting close to you. Then, jump back and start blasting. Be careful not to get bitten by him, because it can happen. The blasts will take out the gray things. But new gray things are coming behind and under you. Advance to his stomach and start attacking again. This time, you should kill him. You have thus beaten the game. Ending You return, and Professor Jinguii commends you and goes into deep thought again. The credits roll. THE END
