It was released by Natsume , the same of Lufia !! So now you know the quality of this game... well , Lufia 2 had a lot of bugs , while P&R doesn't have the horrible glitches of Lufia II... but well. Anyway..Enjoy ^_^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2)Basics The controls are like this: __________________________ | A|Use Magic | | B|Use the magical wand. | | X|----------- | | Y|Throw magical cards. | | L|----------- | | R|Throw the Partner | |Pad|Move the character | """""""""""""""""""""""""" Items: · Power: A sphere that says "Power" when you touch it , increase the power of the magical cards Level 1:Cards that go in a line. Level 2:More spread than before Level 3:BIIIG cards. · The clothes gives more hits , so , without clothes you die in 1 hit ,but with clothes you die in 2 , 3 ,etc. hits. · The keys open the locked chests. · The cards with the faces of your partners , change your partner by the one that's in the card (will cycle through all of them) Using the magic , you'll convert into your partner o_0 and you can do things like fly , dig , etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3)Partners These partners help you attacking enemies , or you can throw them to kill more enemies at once. Attack means how do they attack normally. Throwing Special means if you throw them and they hit a boss , if they do something like explode, etc. 3.1)"Basic Partners" I call them Basic , because they're the first 3 partners , and they are always "selectable". ++++++++++++++++++ +Rocky+the+Racoon+ ++++++++++++++++++ Mmmmhh , it reminds me of some old Beatles song... Anyway , he is (IMO) the best of the 3 "basic" partners , because of his good and quick attack. Attack:Leaf Attack Throwing Special:Giant Racoon Statue ++++++++++++++ +Little+Ninja+ ++++++++++++++ Quick but weak. Baaad , excepting that you can open locked chests without keys... Attack:Shurikens - Hand-To-Hand with a Katana Throwing Special:Big ray of fire. ++++++++++++ +Bomber Bob+ ++++++++++++ Slow , but powerful ,not sooo good. Attack:Bombs Throwing Special:Japanese Symbol in fire. 3.2) Secret Partners These are the best. I call them Secret because they aren't since the beginning in the party. +++++++ +Tengy+ +++++++ He can fly!! Very good partner. Attack:Leaf Attack Throwing Special: Lava River +++++++++++ +Scarecrow+ +++++++++++ He throws sickles in circular move... I don't use it too much... Attack:Sickles Throwing Special:"Waterfall" ++++++++ +Digger+ ++++++++ Good , but a little small :). Well, , you can make "tunnels" with him. Attack:"Summon Moles" Throwing Special:"Giant Mole Hole" +++++++++ +Ottobot+ This is the best!! Quite strong , you can fly with him! +++++++++ Attack:Missiles Throwing Special:Fire Sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4)Hints and Tips · Use the magical wand a lot!! In the last levels , you'll use it as much as the magical cards! · Vs the bosses , the best is to throw the partner to the boss. · Buy keys in the first levels , because after the 2nd or 3rd level , the price of all the items will increase , so the keys in the last level will be $200!! · If you hit the limit on power or armor you'll gain points instead if you take armor or power. The same's with the partner , if you have Rocky and you take the card with the face of Rocky , you'll receive points. · The magical wand "destroys" almost all bullets , excepting the spiral bullets and some I'll not list :) · Each time you are hitted , you lose 1 point of the clothes and 1 point of power. Remind that!! ·You can enter the buildings you see (not all) there you can gain partners, receive gold , or information. Some are stores , where you can buy power , clothes , 1-ups , keys... (5 items by store) ·If you are facing a boss , you can see it's life , in the below part of the screen , represented by candles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Walkthrough This game's not so difficult and it's pretty straight-forward, but you may want to know how to "walk through" (easy and cheap wordplay :) this game an easy way. *NOTE*:¿? in the miniboss , means that I don't know the miniboss names! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 1: Pocky's Practice Stage As the name says , this is for practice , you can jump it if you want. The fat man will say: "Do you need a lesson?" With yes you'll practice , with no you'll go out this level. I think you'll say yes if this is the first time , if not , just say no. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 2: Exotic Country Road This is really the first serious level. Easy easy... When there are 2 ways , go left , and eventually you'll go to a locked house , use a key , or the ninja , to open it , and you'll get Tengy. In the mid of the stage there are 2 doors to destroy , use the wand. BOSS:Canimal See section "Bosses" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 3: October Fields Use Bomber Bob for this level!!! The boss is so easy with him! The first house contains 2 rabbits (¿¿¿¿????) that give you $1000. When you are almost finishing the level , you'll see Princess Luna... But hell , all the games have bosses! BOSS:Foxy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 4: Bridge over Kappa River Totally linear , when there're 2 ways , the right way is easier , but the left has a shop. BOSS:Impy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 5: Demon's Corridor Argh! I hate this level!! Watch out for the masks , they fire a spiral "What's-This" ;-) Miniboss:¿? BOSS:Volta ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 6: Winter Wonderland Pretty Linear. When there's a fork in the way , go left , and in a house'll be Digger , one of the best partners. (See section Partners) Miniboss:¿? BOSS:Demon Gate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 7: Demon Island Unlock the first house to take Otto bot with you. Secret:When you see 2 boulders , move'em , and follow the way , to enter a store that has the goods like the first store (in price) Boss:Beady AKA , the easier boss of all the times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 8: Dragon in the Sky Another veeeery linear stage. You're in the sky with a dragon (don't let me dooooown , don't let me doooooown :) Watch out for the sorcerers that throw exactly the same projectile of the masks. Miniboss:¿? Boss:Bolta ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 9: Demon's Castle There are ninjas , and things like that in this level , it's hard to go through , but you'll eventually have to fight Impy and Dynagon. Miniboss:Impy Boss:Dynagon Now you'll see the ending. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6)Bosses *NOTE* The names of the attacks aren't official names , just names to give you an idea of WTF is that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*1* ********* No Boss ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*2* ********* * Canimal: The first boss,easy. Throwing the partner will damage it a lot. You'll destroy quickly his shield, now , he'll start jumping , and shooting claws with the 2 hands! Move a lot , and you'll win. Attacks:"Claws" "Jump"...on you :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*3* ********* * Foxy: Use Bomber Bob , the fight'll be a piece o' cake with him. When he is almost finished , he'll change of sprite :) , now , when he stands still , he's invincible. Attacks:"Bouncing Dash" "Spinning Discs" "Baby Foxes" ^_^ (Cute isn't it? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*4* ********* * Impy: Try yo use throwing , not cards , it's easy like that. He'll be running all the time so you'll have to use your head... well , the head of your partner! Attack:"Spinning Discs" "Single Bolt" "Triple Bolt" ¿Is "Move a lot" an attack? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*5* ********* * Miniboss Level 5 This is the game's easier boss. It's the typical avoid and shoot Attack:"Fire Breath" "¿Fairies?" * Volta: This is somewhat hard. He'll throw sparks that stand still a seconds If you see he moves odd , he'll throw a double lightning at you. When he's almost finished , his attacks'll be faster and stronger , the sparks'll be triple , and he'll throw that circular things around it's body. Attacks:"Sparks" "Triple Sparks" "Throw" (or "Throw the circular things that he has around it's body...nah!) "Lightning" Whew , you beat it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*6* ********* * Miniboss Level 6 Another "Avoid-And-Shoot" * Demon Gate Destroy the shoulders , then the main body. Almost no tactics. Watch out for the spikes Attacks:"Underground Claws" "Punch" "Rolling Stone" :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*7* ********* * Beady The time I said the first boss was the easier... I lied , this is the most easier boss of all the history of the video games , whew. Evade his fire (or may I say explosions :) and his whip and throw your partner. Attack:"Whip , Whap" ;-) "Double Whip" "Whip Explosion" (Seems like the developers were fans of Metallica , Whiplash!!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*8* ********* * Miniboss Level 8 Typical evade and shoot. This time ain't that easy. Attacks:"Divin'" "Sparks" * Bolta *Almost* exactly like Volta , but harder. Again , the typical lightning type enemy. Attacks:"Triple Bolts" "Triple Triple Bolts" ;-) "Lightning" (Argh! I'm hating the lighning right now! "Throw" (Again , throw his "symbols" of 'round the body) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* *Level*9* ********* This one's has 2 bosses (Impy might be a MiniBoss , but I don't consider him like that) * Impy Just like before , but stronger and a triple bolt attack. Attacks:"Triple Bolt" "Seeker Discs" "Mini Foxes" You can basically use the same strategy that you used earlier, but Impy has some new attacks. One of the new attacks involves three-directional lightning, straight out and 45(?) degrees on either side. The flying discs actually chase after Pocky now, so watch out for them. * Dynagon Supposedly , Dynagon has to be hard........but it ain't like that. The attacks are so ****ing easy to avoid! When it loses 1 or 2 candles (that means that he'll have 3 or 4 candles left :D it'll begin to use the fire sword and'll throw flames to you. I think this' the easier final boss from a Snes game. It throw fireballs that explode in 6 directions , watch out. Attacks:"Purple Balls" "¿Moving Swords?" "Fire Waves" "Exploding Balls" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7)Secrets No secrets that I know of If you know one send it to my e-mail plz! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8)Thanx To All the people of the GameFaqs.com "Metal and Punk" board!
