This is a walkthrough of Super Buster Bros. the SNES action/arcade/puzzle classic. It's my first FAQ eva, so if you spot spelling errors and miss-leading locations please e-mail me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | (Version History) | | | |_____________________________| 8/22/01 Version 0.90 - My SNES, it is not working. I've tried everything to get it working. Now, it's dead. Guess I wore it out. Anyway, since I don't have an SNES then I can't update. I'll probably buy a used one or borrow my friends, so don't expect another update until a long time. 8/16/01 Version 0.75 - Forget the update -- yesterday, I was at a lake swiming with my g/f and a couple of friends, and didn't get home until 7:00. Then, when I got home I went right to my PSX to play Final Fantasy Chronicals, well while I was playing, the power went out. I was going to work on the FAQ at night but I couldn't -- the power was out all night. Texas weather. It's hot, then next thing ya know -- it starts to rain. Well, anyway, I start school on Augest 29th and I'm going to be busy getting ready for school -- plus, I was suppose to read 2 books for pre-ap english and it's due the first day of school -- and I haven't even started on it yet. Well, I've finished Levels 15-25 today. I'll try and finish the whole easy mode by Sunday. 8/14/01 Version 0.50 - The FAQ was posted up, yea! Finished level 10-15 in easy mode. I'll e-mail an update to Gamefaqs tommorow. 8/13/01 Version 0.25 - Started my first FAQ. I copied pictures and information on a sheet of paper while playing Buster Bros, then transfered them to the computer. I've only completed up to LV 10. in easy mode. I still have a long way to go, but, I should be able to complete this guide for Super Buster Bros. in a week from today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | (Contents) | | | |_____________________________| Chapter I - Intro Chapter II - Weapons and Items 1.)

Expert Mode -- Coming Soon -- Chapter IV - Panic Mode -- COMING SOON ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | (Intro) | | Chapter I | |______________________________| If you haven't ever played Super Buster Bros, then you should look for it. On ebay or something. It mixes action and puzzle to devolop an ultimate addictive game. You can play bubble blasters online at: Capcom.com and buy the PSX version of the game (which I haven't played) at Capcom.com . First off, I think Capcom should port a Gameboy Advance Buster Brother's game. It would work out perfectly, so everybody e-mail Capcom! ok, secondly, these text pictures were hard for me to create. I'm not an artist -- of any kind. I can barely draw a circle. Please don't copy any of my work, and e-mail me if you want the guide on your site. Please. Now for the guide -- :oP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | (Weapons and Items) | | Chapter II | |______________________________| (All of these weapon and item names were named by me) 1.) Double Shot -- This gun can shoot 2 shots at a time. Da Double Shot. Pretty Nifty, eh? This weapon can be found on almost every level. 2.) Steel Sticker (or the sticker of steel) -- This weapon sticks when you shoot it. It sticks to walls and is real slow. It's a big pain in the arse and is by far the worst gun. 3.) Bubble Blaster -- This is da gun. The water fluid shoots 3 shots. Just pound on the button and the levels complete. By far the best gun. 4.) Clock -- The clock stops bubbles giving you 7 seconds to shoot the bubbles -- while there at a dead stop. 5.) Slow Town Down -- The bubbles slow down for -- say -- 10 seconds. 6.) Bubble Shield -- This gives you a shield and when you get hit the shield goes away and you don't die! 7.) Food Items -- Gives you points that add up into life ups. 8.) Dynimite -- All bubbles turn into size one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | (Walkthroughs) | | Chapter III | |______________________________| -- EASY MODE -- 1# ICONS -- 1# TINY BUBBLE . 2# SMALL BUBBLE o 3# MEDUIM BUBBLE O 4# BIG BUBBLE (4) 5# HUGE BUBBLE (5) H - Breakable Block (weird shaped bubbles not in easy mode) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ASIA: -- No Namer -- LV.1 . . . . _____ . | H | . |_____| . . . . The key to the first level is quickly get under the 5 bubbles on the left/right and then shot real fast. The block in the middle is the Double Shot but you shouldn't need it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Java Island -- LV.2 O ____ | H | |____| Hit the hittable block for a clock and then pounce on the bubble. Easily said, easily done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Java Island -- LV.3 ____ ____ | H | | H | |____| |____| . . . . . . . . . . . . Hit two bubbles on the left/right then move the opposite side the bubbles are coming too. Keep shooting until all bubbles are knocked out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Silk Road -- LV.4 O (4) _ |-| |_| |-| |-| _ |-| |-| |_| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| Welcome to the 1st level with ladders. This level is a little harder then the last 3 but still nothin' you should have trouble on. Hit the pony at the top of the screen to get 10,000 points (collecting a certien amount number rewards) and the pony will drop down a free life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Silk Road -- LV.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ___________________________ _______________________________ | __________________________|H|______________________________ | || || || (4) || || || || || || |H| |H| || || || __|| ||___ ___| |____ Keep hitting the size four bubble until it's gone. Then hit the H at the top of the screen -- small bubbles fall down as does a safety shield. Go under the bubbles and then shoot and then beat the level. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Silk Road -- LV.6 (4) _____ ____ |_____| |____| ______ ____ _____ ______ ____ _____ ______||_H__|_____| |______||_H__|_____| This level is a little tricky. Make sure not to get traped on the far left/right side. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Silk Road -- LV.7 . . . . . . . . . . . . This is just a spiced of 1st level. Go under the bubbles, and hit. Real Simple. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ne Pal-- LV.8 _____ _____ |_____| |_____| O O O __________ __________ __________| ______ |__________ |______| |-| |-| |-| |-| This level is real easy. The main reason? there are 3 shields in this level. You'd have to really suck at this game if you lost a life here. Or even so far through the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ne Pal -- LV.9 ____ |_H__| ____________________________________________________________ |____________________________________________________________| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| O |-| O Once you start this level, quickly go to the bottom far left or else you'll probably die. Don't go up the stairs until you get at least one bubble gone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ne Pal -- LV.10 _______________________________________________________________________ ___o__________o_____________o_________o__________o_______________|__H_| --------- | | --------- --------- | | --------- This level is real easy. Hit the block at the top and the shoot the 2's that come down. Simple. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Istanbul -- LV.11 (4) ________ _________ | ______| |_______ | | | | | | O O | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only little tip needed for this LV. is stay in the middle area to avoid getting "traped". ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Istanbul -- LV.12 ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ o ___ |_h_|_o_|_h_|___|_h_|_o_|_h_|_____|_h_|_o_|_h_|___|_h_|___|_h_| |_h_|___|_h_|_o_|_h_|___|_h_|__h__|_h_|___|_h_|_o_|_h_|___|_h_| Start this level off by moving to the right (you start off on the middle block). Make sure you don't get hit by the last bubble to the right, it bounces up and down and if you don't move at the right time then you'll get hit and loss a life. Move when the bubble is down and then quickly move over until you touch the ground. Hit a block, kill the bubble. Hit a block, kill a bubble. Keep doing this until all bubbles are... dead. Make sure you hit all of the blocks because one of them drops a extra life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Istanbul -- LV.13 ______ ______ |______| |______| _ ___ ___________ ____________ ___ _ |_|_h_|___________| |____________|_h_|_| Last LV. until you've completed ASIA! The lv. really requires moving fast and timing -- most of the levels ahead will require better skills also. BONUS STAGE -- Your first bonus stage. Just hit one of the bubbles and you get a prize. The prizes are: 1 UP life, 5000 points, 10,000 points. Each prize is randomoly in a bubble. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EUROPE: -- Germany -- LV.14 _____ |_____| |-| |-| |-| (4) |-| (4)|-| |-| The bubbles are starting to bounce up -- higher and higher. Making the level get pretty crazy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Germany -- LV.15 o o _________ ________ |_______ | ______| |-| | | | |-| |-| | | | |-| |-| | | | |-| |-| |___| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| (4)|-| |-| _ |-| |-| |_| |-| The sun and alliagtor come to aid later in this level so this should be fairly easy. Do not climb up the ladder to reach the top though -- there is a risk getting hit while climbing the ladder. Besides -- the sun can handle the top. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Germany -- LV.16 o o o o o o o o o o This level is real tough -- it's one of the hardest levels in the whole easy mode. But there is one huge tip for this level -- clear a bubble before going to the next. Just hit the bubble, then hit the 2 mini bubbles it leaves behind. Hitting all 5 of the size 2 bubbles on either side of the screen will make the screen overload with bubbles and trap yourself taking a life away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Yenice -- LV.17 O O ____________________________ _____ |____________________________| _____ | ___| |___ | |-| |-| |-| |-| O |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| |-| Only tip needed here -- fight the bubbles when your on the bottom of the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Yenice -- LV.18 .... .... .... .... This level shouldn't be too much trouble. Hit the pony at the top for a clock. Don't focus on clearing one 4 bubble set. Beware of the high bouncey bubbles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Spain -- LV.19 _____ ___ |_____| |_B_| _____ |-| |_____| |-| |-| |-| (4) |-| _|-|______________ |-| | ______________ | O |-| | | | | |-| | |O |_| |-| |_| O _ |-| _ |_| |-| |_| This levels layout is weird -- plus this lv. is pretty difficult. When you see the coast is clear, go down the stairs to avoid getting trapped by number 4. Kill the bubble to the left then go up the stairs and then kill number 4. Then go up the stairs, jump to the left, then fall down to the far right side of the screen, then kill the two size 3 bubbles which will involved fast movement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Spain -- LV.20 (5) _ ___ ___ _____________ ___ ___ ___ _ |_| |_h_| |_h_| |______h______| |_h_| |_h_| |_h_| |_| O . . . . . . Hey, sup big bubble? Make sure you clear the bubbles at the bottom before hitting a block up top. If the 5-size bubble falls while your still attacking the bottom bubbles then your a goner. AVIOD DYNIMITE! AVOID DYNIMITE! getting dynimite would get your traped, no matter what, mainly at the start of the level. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Spain -- LV.21 O O (4) O O _ _ _ _ |_| |_| |_| |_| _ _ _ _ _ _ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| _ _ _ _ |_| |_| |_| |_| The key to this level is too stay at the left side of the screen. There are a lot of shields in this level so this level shouldn't be a problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- France -- LV.22 __ |__| (4) This Level is so easy -- you have 25 seconds to kill a 4-size bubble. But don't let the speedy music scare ya -- the bubble could easyly be completed in less then 10 seconds. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- France -- LV.23 O O O O _______ _______ |_______| |_______| France is a country of easy courses -- nothing to worry about here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- France -- LV.24 o o _ _ |_| |_| __________________________________ |__________________________________| (4) (4) This levels items make the level completey easy -- a blaster gun, 2 shields, a extra life, and a 7-second clock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The Tower Bridge -- LV.25 _____________________________________________________________________ |_____________________________________________________________________| |-| |-| |-| O O |-| |-| |-| What can I say? why is there a ladder? why is this level so... easy? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE SOON SO CHECK BACK PLEASE -- THANK YOU!
