INTRODUCTION ******************************* There isn't really a story line, but here's what it says in the manual that comes with the game. "Hey there all you twisted sickos! Welcome to the show! The object of this crazy game is to compete against a group of bloodthirsty contestants in a series of lighthearted and (hopefully) lethal battles. The battles are fought over a series of four increasingly strange and challenging stages. You'll have to successfully complete all the battles on a stage before you can advance to the next. Whether it's another outlandish battle arena, sophisticated weapon, or oddball contestant, you'll unlock something new everytime you win a battle!" "The lucky devil who survives all four deadly stages of fun will win the game and find out what's behind the door of our vault. That's right, it's...THE PRIZE! Now, I can't tell you what The Prize is exactly, but what I can tell you is that it's everything your little heart desires...if you're ruthless enough to claim it!" "Can't wait to get your greedy little mitts on the fabulous goodies in store for you? Well, settle down, you drooling maniac! You'll get your chance soon enough." As for an introduction to this FAQ, I've tried to list all the information that could possibly be known about the game. And I written it in the most logical order, I think. Here's my contact information, but it will also be down in the credits section and up at the top of this FAQ. My email is: [email protected]. I believe that the more you know about the game, the better advantage you have against your opponents. Here's all the knowlege you need. Anyway, here we go! ******************************* 4. CONTROLS ******************************* ------------------------------- 4.1. CHARACTER CONTROLS ------------------------------- Left Stick or D-Pad Move, turn A or Y Buttons Jump B or X Buttons Attack L Trigger Sidestep left R Trigger Sidestep right White Change camera angle Start Pauses game ------------------------------- 4.2. ON-SCREEN INFORMATION ------------------------------- There are several different things that give you information in this game. You can see this information, with pictures, in the manual. Keep an eye on this information, and also peek at the information on the screen of your opponents (if you're playing against another person, split-screen). CLOCK Indicates the amount of time remaining (in Fragfest) or accrued (in King of the Hill). STAR Indicates the number of stars you've picked up (in Combat). HEART Indicates the number of lives you have remaining (in Dodgeball). SKULL Indicates the number of kills you've accrued (in Fragfest). LEADERBEAM Sometimes a beam of light shines down on the leading character. HEALTH BAR This falls after hits, but rises again after time. Obviously, if it runs out, you die. RANK This is really simple. It tells you if you're in 1st, 3rd, or whatever. It can change often and quickly, so keep an eye on it and your opponents (if you're playing split-screen). I usually try to go after the guy in 1st (or 2nd if I'm in first). The rank is on the screen regardless of what mode you're playing. ******************************* 5. CHARACTERS ******************************* At the beginning of the game, there are only 4 characters available. You can unlock 4 more by beating certain battles. The characters are pretty much the same in skills and controls, they just look different and say different things. Although, it does appear at times that Toof runs just slightly faster than other characters. ------------------------------- 5.1. LUCKY ------------------------------- "This cantankerous contestant's extremities were stolen by a good-luck-charm factory, and he just can't seem to stop grumbling about it!" DESCRIPTION A redish-brown rabbit without hands or feet. CLOTHING None PERSONALITY A rabbit with attitude. He's out to get revenge against anybody and everybody because he lost his hands and feet. HOW TO UNLOCK One of the starting characters QUOTES "Gimme that" "What, no one left to hit?" "What was that trite?" "You just got lucky with that one" "It's gonna be raining whoop-BEEP in a moment" "I'll get you for that one" "Now I'm angry" "I did not need that" "Unfair" "Try that again, smart-BEEP" "For my next trick, I'll mutilate your body" NARRATOR "Not winning makes Lucky angry" "The poor bunny can't do anything right" "Lucky's stumped!" "Lucky's on a rampage" STAR COLOR Red FOOD None EXCLAMATION POINT POWER Lucky will suddenly become tornado-like and will suck up any stars within his range, which is pretty big. He will also suck up any opponent who gets in his way causing them to lose lots of stars. Even though Lucky sucks in opponents, he's not invincible. Projectiles and the Mallet can still do some damage; the Stick of Reason has even worked against him. ------------------------------- 5.2. EUGENE ------------------------------- "Though this unassuming contestant is clearly a flightless waterfowl, he has recurring fantasies in which he imagines himself to be a merciless bird of prey." DESCRIPTION A green Canadian penguin. CLOTHING A pilot-type suit and a spinning hat. PERSONALITY Easily intimated. Always picked on. HOW TO UNLOCK One of the starting characters QUOTES "I'm Flying!" "A weapon" "Cheap shot" "What a crab" "Mommy" "Give me a break, eh" "Ouch, eh" "That's all part of my strategy" "Can a penguin do that?" "I'm okay, Ahhhhh! I'm okay, Ahhhhh!" NARRATOR "Eugene is coming in on a wing and a prayer" "Eugene can't get off the ground" STAR COLOR Green FOOD Carton of Orange Juice EXCLAMATION POINT Eugene declares that he's flying and then he starts, well, hovering around the level. Try to hit your opponents with your spinning hat and they will drop lots of stars. ------------------------------- 5.3. TOOF ------------------------------- "This contestant mumbles incoherently and stinks like a sewer, but what our little orange omnivore lacks in mind and body, he makes up in ravenous appetite." DESCRIPTION An orange science experience discovered after a weekend of research. Has teeth all the way around his head. CLOTHING None PERSONALITY Hungry HOW TO UNLOCK One of the starting characters QUOTES "Hungry!" "Blabgrlaa" "Glagrabah" "Toof!" "Smarter" NARRATOR "Toof must be on a hunger strike" "Toof is still in the lead" "Toof is putting it away" "Toof is getting his stomach pumped" STAR COLOR Orange FOOD Carrot EXCLAMATION POINT All of your opponents turn into hamburgers and move really slowly. Try to kill them quickly and grab their stars. When turned into a hamburger, opponents can still collect stars themselves and can still smash other hamburgers. Toof has the only exclamation point in which opponents can't carry weapons. ------------------------------- 5.4. LUCY ------------------------------- "This tantalizing contestant won't let anything, not even clothing, stand in the way of her winning The Prize!" DESCRIPTION A blue-haired, naked lady. CLOTHING None PERSONALITY A "bad girl" who always makes comments of questionable morality. HOW TO UNLOCK One of the starting characters QUOTES "You almost knocked my bars off" "Don't hit so hard" "That's mine" "Oh, it hurts so good" "Step off" "Oh, -BEEP-" "Lucy's open for business" "Who wants a spanking?" "Let's get dirty" "That wasn't very nice" "That was below the belt" "Does this need batteries?" NARRATOR "Lucy's stripped!" STAR COLOR Dark Blue FOOD None EXCLAMATION POINT The Kiss of Death. Lucy now can run up and hit opponents and they will die in one hit, leaving a heart-shaped cloud and lots of stars behind. ------------------------------- 5.5. LANCE ------------------------------- "The ladies are gonna love this contestant...almost as much as he loves himself!" DESCRIPTION A very muscular, purple-haired guy with a long nose. CLOTHING Wears a purple tank top and purple shorts. PERSONALITY Your typical macho man. HOW TO UNLOCK Beat Stage 1 QUOTES "By the power of steroids" "This looks better on me" "Lancinator" "I look so much better in one piece" "This is embarrassing" "Woah, wipeout" "Not the face" "Ouch, that was a wicked bail" "I'm too good-looking to die" NARRATOR "Come on, Lance, are you even trying?" STAR COLOR Purple FOOD None EXCLAMATION POINT Everyone but Lance wears a purple hat and loses tons of stars when hit. ------------------------------- 5.6. CHARITY ------------------------------- "Our next contestant is pathologically attracted to shiny objects (and she hasn't ruled out the dull ones either)." DESCRIPTION A little girl with blonde hair. CLOTHING Wears a yellow outfit. PERSONALITY A greedy klyptomaniac who wants everything, especially ponies. HOW TO UNLOCK Beat Stage 2 QUOTES "And I have a weapon, and..." "I always win" "Yiiee" "My pretty dress is all dirty" "Ooooh, pretty puddle of blood" "Bloody girl pieces. Mine." "I'm telling my daddy" "That's not fair" NARRATOR "Charity's screwed! No stars because I said so." STAR COLOR Yellow FOOD Cheese EXCLAMATION POINT Tons of yellow stars with green spots on them appear. Only Charity can collect them, they act like Starmines for the rest of the characters. ------------------------------- 5.7. OTTO ------------------------------- "Some would call our next contestant a bit laid-back. I like to think of him as quite possibly brain-dead!" DESCRIPTION Almost human, he's blue and never leaves his chair. He's from Iowa and is 5'10", according to his driver's license. CLOTHING Wears a pair of shorts PERSONALITY Lazy, sleepy, slothful, tired, etc. HOW TO UNLOCK Beat Stage 3 QUOTES "Did we win?

"Nurse, more painkillers" "No, not the leeches" "All right, I'll talk" "I'm okay" "Not again" "I'm falling" "What's this do?" NARRATOR "Otto dreams of winning, but hasn't quite done it" "Otto is winning in his sleep" "Otto almost has this game wrapped up" "Otto is still winning" "Otto is in the lead" "Otto can't seem to wake up" STAR COLOR Light Blue FOOD Carton of Milk EXCLAMATION POINT Using floating Z's as his weapon, he can knock a lot of stars out of anybody who gets near him. ------------------------------- 5.8. VAN ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION A black little devil-monster-looking-guy. CLOTHING He wears a white-ish outfit. PERSONALITY Competitive, wants to be undefeated. HOW TO UNLOCK Beat Hell QUOTES "Say hello to my little friend" "Rock and roll!" "Feel my wrath" NARRATOR "Van is still losing...at his own game" "Van is screwed...on his own show" STAR COLOR Black FOOD Hamburger EXCLAMATION POINT Two minions will appear to help Van beat up his opponents. ******************************* 6. LEVELS ******************************* There are 13 different levels in the game. Each have their own pros and cons. In this section, I will describe each level, along with it's hiding places, strategic points, where the exclamation points generate, etc. We will also give each level a rating (1-10) and a rank (1st - 13th). It's kind of hard to describe the levels, but you'll know what I'm talking about after playing it a couple of times. In the Levels sections you'll also find a piece of information not to be found anywhere else, what I call the Missile Time. This is how long it took a Missile to travel from one character to it's locked character from one corner of the level to the farthest point. This can give you a little idea of how big a level is. I also attempted to list all of the location that the Trophy can generate, but it appears that there are either lots and lots of places, or it can appear anywhere. ------------------------------- 6.1. CAR CRASH ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION The first level of the game, and it's probably the most basic of them all. The whole level is one big room, that is pretty much flat, with the exception of the tire in the middle. This tire has two ramps, on which one can get on top of the tire. A fair amount of stars will drop from the sky and land on the tire, so it's not a bad idea to check it out every now and then. You may be able to use the tire to shield yourself from oncoming Missles. There are also 3 shelf-like places along the outside that you can reach from the ground. And, of course, there is the bumper of a car that can only be reached from on top of the tire. I don't recommend spending too much time on top of the tire, because you tend to be seen as a target if you're up there. MISSILE TIME 5.23 seconds (10th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS No real hiding places in this level, but you may be able to get away with staying on the bumper of the car, if your opponents aren't too skilled. Otherwise, you could be a sitting duck for projectiles. MOVING PARTS None INTERACTIVE PARTS None WEAPON PLACEMENT The better weapons will usually appear on the bumper of the car. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on the bumper of the car. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) On one of the three lower side platforms 2) On another one of the side platforms 3) A circle on the ground near the tire INTERESTING NOTES 1) That's not blood all over the level, it's ketchup. Take a look at the vehicles involved in the accident; one's a ketchup truck. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL' RANK 1 out of 10 13th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 1 out of 10 13th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.2. CLUB BANO ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION You are now fighting upside-down on the ceiling of a bathroom. This level is still pretty basic, but it definetly has some features not seen in Car Crash. It is also made up of only one room, but has more places to go, besides the floor. In the middle of the room is a giant, spinning fan. There are 4 raised platforms along the side, and three higher up platforms that can only be reached from the lower platforms or from the fan. MISSILE TIME 7.14 seconds (2nd largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS Again, you can't really hide in this level. A good strategic point is up on any of the higher platforms. You can try to hide right next to the ramps along the side, but it's not a real great place. MOVING PARTS 1) The Fan The fan constantly rotates in the middle of the level. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The Switch There is a switch on one of the 4 lower platforms. Jump near it to flip it and it will cause the fan to spin much faster. All of the stars will fly off the fan and any character who was on it will soar into the air. Don't get hit by the edge of the quick-moving fan or you will die instantly. WEAPON PLACEMENT The better weapons appear on the 3 high platforms. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on one of the high platforms. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) A circle on the ground near the fan 2) One of the three higher platforms 3) On top of the fan, in the center INTERESTING NOTES 1) Try reading the graffiti scribbled on the walls, it's upside-down so it's hard to read, but it's interesting. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 2 out of 10 12th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 2 out of 10 12th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.3. CAN CAN ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level is still pretty basic, but it has two rooms. There is the big, main room, which has a stream dividing it in half and a bridge over the stream. You can cross using the bridge, or just walk through the shallow water. The other room is really small and you can easily be trapped in there by another player. On the side opposite the small room, there is a small, heart-shaped lake. MISSILE TIME 5.59 seconds (9th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS You could try hiding under the bridge and shoot weapons out at opponents that pass. I don't recommend staying on top of the bridge too long. You could also try to use the bridge to block any Missles chasing you. MOVING PARTS 1) The Leg There is a moving leg that kicks back and forth in front of the door to the small room. Don't get hit by it or it is instant death. Be sure to time your entrance/exit of the small room. Exiting is trickier to time because you can't see the leg, but it's not too hard. INTERACTIVE PARTS None WEAPON PLACEMENT The best weapons appear inside the small room. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears inside the small room. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) Inside the small room 2) On the heart-shaped lake 3) Under the bridge 4) A circle to the left side of the small room 5) A circle to the right side of the small room INTERESTING NOTES 1) If you and another character both have the Stick of Reason, go into the little room and fight in there. There'll be stars going everywhere. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 5 out of 10 8th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 5 out of 10 9th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.4. NO TRESPASSING ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level fairly complex, as it is broken up into three parts. There are two fences seperating the three parts from each other. Each of the fences has only one gate, and both have a deadly force guarding them. One of the side parts is pretty dark, one is a road, and the other is grassy. The gate between the road section and dark part is a dropping floor, which will fall down and come back up, alternately exposing spikes; the other gate is a swing axe. MISSILE TIME 6.47 seconds (4th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS Try hanging around just inside the grassy section where you can hide behind the fence and kill opponents as they enter. You can do a similar thing on the other side just beyond the gate to the dark area. MOVING PARTS 1) Swinging Axe Time your passage of the Swinging Axe, so you don't get hit. If the axe gets you, you'll die instantly. You can get hit by the backside of the axe, when it's swinging away from the center, and get sent flying; the blunt side of the axe won't kill you. 2) Dropping Floor You can cross on the Dropping Floor when it up, or you can try to jump over the spikes when it's down. Falling into the spikes will kill you, no questions asked. INTERACTIVE PARTS None WEAPON PLACEMENT The better weapons can appear just about anywhere in this level. Try in the dark section, the grassy section, or the back end of the road (the part without the fancy-looking gate). EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears in the grassy section, in the back. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) On the Dropping Floor 2) A circle with the swinging axe in the middle 3) A circle on the front side of the road section 4) A circle on the back side of the road section 5) A Circle in the dark area INTERESTING NOTES None MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 3 out of 10 11th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 3 out of 10 11th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.5. CHRISTMAS TREE ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level is the first of the really complex ones. There is one main room, and another semi-secret hallway. The main room has a christmas tree in the middle with a train that constantly goes in circles around it. If you jump over one of the blocks on the ground, you will find another small room with a ramp that leads 'upstairs.' There are lots of things to climb on in this level. MISSILE TIME 4.73 seconds (11th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS If you want to just hide, stay in the hidden room behind the block, or climb the ramp to the upstairs part. You may be able to fire weapons at opponents below from up there. MOVING PARTS 1) The train This train goes counter-clockwise around the tree. You can stand on it, but be sure not to touch the front, you will die instantly. An interesting way to kill people is to get them stuck on the Pitchfork and hold them out above the tracks and wait for the train to come and kill them. This is fun to do in Combat, but don't do it in Fragfest, as you don't get credit for the kill. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The Spank Tank This is one of the important questions. Do I go for the tank or not? On the opposite side of the level from the tank is a battery. If you grab it and carry it across the level to the tank and press the Attack button, you'll gain control of the tank. Shoot it as rapidly as possible. This is usually a pretty good idea in Fragfest, but not in Combat, because somebody could beat you to the stars. If somebody else gets the Spank Tank, you do several things. You could attack them and they will lose control of the tank and you can take control. You can only take control if you are not holding a weapon. Or you could try to hide behind the christmas tree in the middle. And, don't forget, you could stay behind the train and just keep moving with it to keep it between you and the guy shooting the tank. WEAPON PLACEMENT The best weapons appear up on top of the upstairs part. The tank is a pretty good weapon,too. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears upstairs. You'll have to jump over the gap to reach the far side where it appears. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) On top of the train 2) On top of one of the presents along the wall 3) On top of the present on which the battery appears INTERESTING NOTES 1) Take a look at the presents around the level. Some are from the commercials, such as My First Chainsaw. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 4 out of 10 10th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 4 out of 10 10th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.6. DEATH WALL ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This is probably the smallest level. It is only one rectagular room. But it's more complicated than that. The walls have spikes that come in and out, killing anyone who touches them. MISSILE TIME 4.24 seconds (12th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. The only thing I can say here is the obvious, stay away from the walls. MOVING PARTS 1) The walls Like I said before, the walls have spikes that come in and out. They will kill you instantly. Which is a good reason to make your opponents touch them. INTERACTIVE PARTS None WEAPON PLACEMENT Not really any one place that is guaranteed to give you a good weapon. The level is so small you can see all your choices at once, so just pick the best one you can get to. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears in the very middle of the level. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) A circle in the center 2) The section on one end of the level 3) The section on the other end of the level INTERESTING NOTES 1) If you are carrying the Trophy and run into the spikes, the Trophy will bounce away from the wall a little ways. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 7 out of 10 6th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 7 out of 10 5th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.7. ARTIC PIPELINE ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This is one of the more complex levels. There is a main room, which is separated into two halves by a ravine filled with burning oil. If you fall in the ravine, you may catch on fire, so be careful. The ravine will not have fire if you're playing Dodgeball. There are also two other parts. One is the control room. It's a small room with a backdoor that leads to the last portion of the level, a hallway. This hallway leads from the control room to an opening above the ravine. MISSILE TIME 6.93 seconds (3rd largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS A very good place is inside the hallway. It's difficult for missiles to hit you, if you go in there. There are two ways to get to you when you're in there, so it may be difficult to watch your back, but you can watch your opponents screen (if playing multi-player with a split-screen), to know where they are coming from. Another great place is just under the switch, inside the pipe. You can see the little spot from the side of the level with the control room. It's just a small indent and fairly hard to time your jump just right to get in there, but it's a great place to hide if somebody has an exclamation point. Sometimes a weapon will generate in there as well. MOVING PARTS None INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The control room switch This switch is in the main room, on the side opposite the control room. It's up on top of a snow-covered pipe-like thing. Hit this switch and the doors will close to the control room. Then a fire will start in the control room. If you are in the control room when the doors start closing, there is a small gap in the spiked front door you may be able to sneak out from before the fire starts. Or try the door in the back. Once the switch is flipped, you only have a second or two to evacuate. WEAPON PLACEMENT A pretty good weapon will sometimes generate inside the hallway, or on the side of the main room opposite the control room. There also could be a good one in the very back of the control room. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears inside the control room. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) Inside the hallway 2) Inside the control room 3) Along the snowbank on the side of the main room with the switch 4) A circle on the ground on the side of the main room with the switch INTERESTING NOTES 1) You'll notice that the burning oil came from Asson Oil. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 4 out of 10 9th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 6 out of 10 7th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.8. JOYRIDE ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This is one of the bigger levels, if not the biggest. It it composed of two main sections. These sections are the truck and the police car. On the back of the truck, you can go up onto the ledges along the side or on top of a tool box. On the police car, the only place you can go besides the hood is on the front bumper. We have spotted some glitches in this level. When the truck swerves, you may go right through the wall, especially near the back of the truck. MISSILE TIME 11.65 seconds (1st largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS There's only one out-of-the-way place in this level, and that's behind the toolbox. Also, in a majority of the games I've played, most people stay on the truck rather than the police car, so if you want some privacy, it might be vacant over there. MOVING PARTS 1) The truck itself The truck swerves often, sending the players to either the left or the right. This isn't too much of a hassle except in Chicken, in which all the chickens are blown right up to you. Unfortunately, this is where there is a major bug in the game. If the truck swerves, you may go right through the wall to your death. I've also gone through the floor and died. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) Blow torch You can grab the matches from the hood of the police car and bring them on top of the toolbox on the truck. Press the attack button to use the blow torch. It has a lot of range, and it is pretty powerful. On the down-side, it leaves you wide open for somebody to whack you in the back. WEAPON PLACEMENT There are sometimes good weapons on the window sill behind the toolbox, or on the police car. Be sure to check the bumper for weapons. Also try the very corner parts of the tailgate. There's a little lower square on each corner and they will often have a good weapon like a dodgeball. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on the center of the hood of the police car. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) The left side ledge of the truck 2) The right side ledge of the truck 3) The police symbol on the police car 4) The window sill of the truck 5) A circle in the center of the back of the truck INTERESTING NOTES 1) Read the words written on the hood of the police car, it says "Middle of Nowhere Police".

JEFFREY'S KITCHEN ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level is on a kitchen counter. Like any kitchen counter, there is a sink in the middle. This kitchen also has plenty of various food items (including a box of Nate O's) and a book scattered about. One side of the level is a complete drop off, as a kitchen counter should be, but you can't forget about the small cutting board and the drawer, which extend the counter a little further. There is a thin ledge between the sink and edge of the counter, which you can use if you have nimble thumbs, but be especially careful there. MISSILE TIME 5.64 seconds (8th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS An excellent hiding place is inside the drawer, especially if somebody has the Freeze Gun. Another strategic spot is on top of the high tower of stuff in the one corner. MOVING PARTS None INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) Switch/Drain There is a switch above a row of stuff on the side of the level with the book. Flip this switch and the sink's drain will go for about 10 seconds. Anybody near it will be sucked down, costing them a life, or lots of stars. If you are in the sink when somebody flips the switch, you might not die, if you are fairly far from the drain and have a fast thumb. WEAPON PLACEMENT The better weapons may show up on top of the tall stack of stuff in the corner, on top of the box of Nate O's, or on the ledge between the sink and the edge of the counter. You can often find a Stick of Reason on the cutting board. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on top of a jar near the box of Nate O's. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) The book 2) The small package of meat (or whatever it is) in the very corner, near the edge 3) In the center of the sink 4) On top of the tall stack of stuff in the corner 5) On the row of stuff by the switch INTERESTING NOTES 1) Try to read the labels on the different things on the counter, one's a box of Nate O's. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 10 out of 10 1st of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 9 out of 10 2nd of 13 ------------------------------- 6.10. HIGH RISE ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION One of the more complex levels. It has 4 main platforms. There's the roof of the main building (with the incredibly thin ramp and the air vents), the roof of the other building, and the 2 tiered platforms with the elevator things on the side. It's pretty easy to fall off in this level, so be careful. MISSILE TIME 6.00 seconds (6th largest, tied) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS There is a hidden ledge on the side of the main building, the one with the blowing vents, that you can jump down to. You can use this spot to avoid the girder or to sneak attack your opponents. MOVING PARTS None INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The elevators There are two elevators in this level. They are the only way to get back up from the lowest platform. It's easy to get knocked off these, so be careful there. When you are riding the elevator up you can also jump at the exact right time and go flying really high. This will surprise your opponent. 2) The girder There is also a girder that swings by and knocks people off the roof of the main building. This girder can be activated by using a green-button-weapon-thing found on the roof of the second building. It has now been found that it is possible to actually jump on top of the girder and ride it. 3) The vents There are two vents on the roof of the big building that will blow you to the roof of the green building. WEAPON PLACEMENT Good weapons can be sometimes found on a little ledge down near the lowest platform, or on the ledge by the screen that shows a commercial for "Bouncy Cheese." Also try the ledge where the exclamation point appears. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on a ledge on the second building. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) Under the "Bouncy Cheese" screen 2) On the very thin ramp on the main building 3) A circle on the main building 4) The entire roof of the second building INTERESTING NOTES 1) Bouncy cheese sounds pretty appetizing to me, too. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 10 out of 10 2nd of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 9 out of 10 3rd of 13 ------------------------------- 6.11. SPACE WALK ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level is one of the biggest ones. There's a few main platforms with lots of narrow paths connecting them together. There's also a small, indoor part. And there's a tower on the roof of the indoor part. You may also notice a large, rotating Van Tastic head. This is the easiest level to fall off of the edge. MISSILE TIME 6.45 seconds (5th largest) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS Can't really hide anywhere in this level, but it may be a good idea to climb the tower or head over towards the platform with rotating "Van head". MOVING PARTS 1) Rotating platform Between the main platform and the big platform with a spring, there is a rotating platform. This has almost zero effect on the game, it can just be annoying when you're trying to jump on it from the lower platform and can't get on it because it's high side is nearest you and you can't get up, so you fall to your death. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) Thrusters There is the thruster, which can be activated by flipping a switch on the pillar inside the indoor part. This will cause a burst of wind to push against everybody. If you're in a good position, this will be no problem, but in some places, you'll fall off no matter what you do. 2) Springs And there's the two springs, you can use them to escape, or for quick travel, etc. One will bounce you from one corner of the level to the opposite corner; the other will just send you from a lower platform to a higher one just above it. WEAPON PLACEMENT The good weapons will probably appear on top of the roof of the inside part, on the top of the tower, or on the part with a big, spinning Van Tastic head. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears up on the part with Van Tastic's head. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) The small circular thing in the very center of the level 2) The entire platform on which Van Tastic's head spins 3) One of the round platforms on the opposite side of the level as the indoor part 4) On the other round platform on the opposite side of the level as the indoor part INTERESTING NOTES None MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 9 out of 10 3rd of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 10 out of 10 1st of 13 ------------------------------- 6.12. PIRATE SHIP ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION You're now on a toy boat floating in a bathtub. Careful observation will lead you to realize that a TV fell into the bathtub, causing the water to be electrified. Both tips of the boat have a cannon that can shoot you up into the sails. There are several rafters up among the sails that you can fight on. There's also a small bowl-shaped platform at the very top of the mast. There are also two cannons on the sides of the boat, one can shoot you to the rubber ducky, but there's not much of a reason to be there. And I can't leave out the small room on one side of the boat and there's also a plank. MISSILE TIME Sorry, this test was impossible in this level because all the sails blocked the missile, even if it was locked on another character on the other side of the ship. HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS If you really want to be alone, use one of the cannons that shoot you into the sails and try to fly up onto the platform on top of the mast. It seems like it's harder to get up to the top when the Exclamation Point is there. Or maybe it's just psychological. MOVING PARTS 1) The water The water raises and lowers, covering the bottom of the boat every now and then. So if you hear the sound of the water, get to higher ground, pronto. 2) The duck Occasionally a rubber ducky comes floating by and you can jump onto it's bill or on it's back. You can jump there from the sails or use one of the side cannons. Usually a cannon will appear on the duck's bill, but it's difficult to jump back to the ship with the cannon in hand. Another interesting note, any stars on the duck's back bounce up and down wildly. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The button 2) The cannons 3) The treasure chest There is a button in the very middle of the boat that control the two cannons on the sides. It will cause the left one to go to the right and vice versa. Use this to kill oncoming opponents. Be careful when doing this so you don't kill yourself by mistake. There are 4 cannons on the level, one on each side of the ship. The two on the front and back of the ship will fire you up to the sails (or right over them); the two on the sides of the ship should not be used, they'll fire you out into the water (or onto the rubber ducky if you're lucky). There is also a treasure chest underneath one of the cannons in a small room. If you jump on top of it, the water will rise. WEAPON PLACEMENT A good weapon might appear up in the sails EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on the platform on top of the mast. Use a cannon to get there. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) The lower portion of one of the sails 2) One of the rafters among the sails 3) Inside the room 4) A circle around the button in the middle of the boat INTERESTING NOTES 1) Any stars that appear on the duck's back will bounce up and down. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 8 out of 10 5th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 9 out of 10 4th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.13. HELL ------------------------------- DESCRIPTION This level is a bunch of interconnected parts, like Spacewalk. All of the large platforms have thinner paths leading to each other. One of the center parts has a chicken cage, on which you will have to climb a couple of nearby steps and jump to, if you want to get on top of it. But, when somebody is up there, two claws will come together and kill anybody standing on the front half of the chicken cage. And there are two other chicken cages that lower into the lava. There a couple of 'lava falls' that will catch you on fire if you touch them. MISSILE TIME 6.00 seconds (6th largest, tied) HIDING PLACES AND STRATEGIC POINTS Not many places in which to run and hide, nor is there any platform that's high above the rest to use as a vantage point. Sorry. MOVING PARTS 1) Chicken cages There are two chicken cages that lower into the lava. They will hover above the lava for while before dropping into the lava for a second or two. INTERACTIVE PARTS 1) The bouncers No, not the kind you find in dances, but similar to the ones you find in Spacewalk. There are three of them in this level. WEAPON PLACEMENT A good weapon might appear on top of the chicken cage in the center of the level. EXCLAMATION POINT The exclamation point appears on top of the chicken cage in the center of the level. KING OF THE HILL LOCATIONS 1) On the chicken cage in the center of the level 2) On one of the chicken cages that lower into lava 3) On the other chicken cage that lowers into lava 4) A circle in the center of the level 5) A rectangle on one side of the level INTERESTING NOTES 1) My brother once got shish-ka-bobbed when he was standing on one of the platforms that drops into the lava and he just stuck to the wall while the platform sank and came back up. It worked out pretty well for him. MICHAEL'S RATING MICHAEL'S RANK 9 out of 10 4th of 13 ZACH'S RATING ZACH'S RANK 5 out of 10 8th of 13 ------------------------------- 6.14.

WEAPONS ************************** There are 20 weapons in the game. They are rated in 3 categories: Damage, Star Loss, and Rate of Fire. These are on a scale of 0 to 5, with 5 being the highest. I will also include what weapon groups they appear in (there's Annnoy, Basic, Explosives, Melee, and Batter Up), what levels the weapon is most useful in, and some notes about how to use (or avoid) them the best. The weapons are arranged by how you use them, then alphabetically. If you are carrying a weapon and would like to switch, just stand by the weapon you want for a couple seconds and it will replace the one you have. ------------------------- 7.1. HOMING WEAPONS ------------------------- ***BEE-HIVE*** Damage: 4 Star Loss: 3 Rate of Fire: 1 Most useful in: Smaller levels Groups: Projectiles, Annoy, Mega Damage Michael's Rating: 8/10 Notes: The Bees have preet good homing capabilities. If the bees start swarming around you, hold still! If you keep running around, you will be guaranteed death, but if you hold still, there's a chance the bees won't attack you. It's best to use it in smaller levels, because you can send the bees to someone and then be able to attack them while they're standing still. Also, you'll have a really hard time standing still if you're standing in the snow of Artic Pipeline. ***GOODBYE DOGGIE*** Damage: 5 Star Loss: 4 Rate of Fire: 1 Most useful in: Simpler levels Groups: Explosives, Annoy, Mega Damage Michael's Rating: 9/10 Notes: The Doggie has really good following capabitlies. It always goes after the leader of the 3 characters besides the guy who started it going. You know it's following you if you get an orange bone symbol on your character. It's kind of slow, so if you use a lot of jumping or sidestepping around, you may be able to juke it. Ideally, you'd get it to hit another player instead of yourself. One hit from the Goodbye Doggie will kill you. Another trick is to get it off you is to, well, fall to 2nd place, and the Doggie's target will change to the character who is now in the lead. It's better to use the Goodbye Doggie in simple levels because there's less things for it to run into and accidentally explode early. ***MISSILE*** Damage: 5 Star Loss: 4 Rate of Fire: 1 Most useful in: Simpler levels Groups: Basic, Explosives, Projectiles, Mega Damage Michael's Rating: 9/10 Notes: This weapon has excellent homing skills, but it's really slow. You'll know one is on your tail if an icon of the missile appears on your character. If one is after you, try to get it to collide with the floor, a wall, or an opponent; anything but yourself. The Missile will kill you in one hit. Again, this one is better to use in simple levels so it doesn't run into anything but your opponent. ***PLUNGER MISSLE*** Damage: 3 Star Loss: 2 Rate of Fire: 3 Most useful in: Simpler levels Groups: Basic, Explosives, Projectiles Michael's Rating: 6/10 Notes: The Plunger Missile doesn't have nearly as good of tracking capabilites as the regular Missile, but it will still do a pretty good job. You'll know one is coming for you if the red plunger missile icon appears on your character. You can try all the same tricks as the regular Missile to juke it. It's better in simple levels because of the same reasons as the other homing weapons. ------------------------ 7.2. THROWING WEAPONS ------------------------ ***CANNON*** Damage: 4 Star Loss: 4 Rate of Fire: 1 Most useful in: Levels with high platforms Groups: Explosives, Projectiles, Mega Damage Michael's Rating: 9/10 Notes: The most powerful of the throwing weapons, but fires really slowly. Don't use the Cannon during close-quarters combat, as the cannon blast will hurt you, too. This is an excellent weapon if used from a high location. Don't use it if you are standing on an edge or thin area because the recoil sends you backwards a little and you may fall off the edge. ***CLEAVER*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 1 Rate of Fire: 3 Most useful in: Chicken Groups: Basic, Projectiles, Annoy Michael's Rating: 3/10 Notes: The Cleaver is just your regular throwing axe. It can be throw pretty quickly, but if you only throw it one at a time, you might get a it to use its slight tracking power. Doesn't do much damage nor make the opponent drop a lot of stars, so I'd go for almost anything else if possible. The only exception is when playing Chicken, it'll kill more chickens in less time than any other weapon, except maybe the Yolk-A-Matic. ***CLUSTER DUCK*** Damage: 3 Star Loss: 2 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Can be used anywhere equally. Groups: Basic, Explosives, Projectiles Michael's Rating: 4/10 Notes: The Cluster Duck is basically a bouncy grenade that's shaped like a duck. You can either release them one at a time, or release all 5 at once by holding down the attack button and waiting until the counter over your head counts down to zero. Once it's at zero, you will toss 5 Cluster Ducks in front of you when you release the attack button. I recommend firing off all five at once. If you happen to get the Cluster Ducks when you have the Plague, the Ducks carry the Plague along with them. I've only seen it happen once, though. ***DODGEBALL*** Damage: 0 Star Loss: 5 Rate of Fire: 1 Most useful in: Deathwall, Spacewalk, High Rise Groups: Projectiles Michael's Rating: 6/10 Notes: These balls bounce all over the level. Grab one and throw it at an opponent. If an oppenent throws one at you, you can press the Attack button at just the right moment and you can catch it right out of the air. If you don't want to do that, just sidestep or jump out of the way. The Dodgeball does not cause any damage, but it will release a ton of stars from anybody unfortunate enough to get hit. This weapon can be especially destructive when playing Dodgeball in Deathwall. If you get hit by the ball and it knocks you into the spiked wall, you lose 2 lives. You'll also lose two if you get hit by a Dodgeball and it knocks you off the level. ***SHISH-KA-BOB*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 4 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Deathwall, Spacewalk, High Rise Groups: Projectiles, Target Practice Michael's Rating: 7/10 Notes: You get 5 Shish-Ka-Bobs to fire at opponents. This is pretty much a giant needle that will stick your opponent to the nearest wall. It's especially good in Spacewalk and High Rise because they will get stuck to an invisible wall way out in the middle of nowhere and will fall to certain doom. It's also nice in Deathwall, because they'll stick to the wall and will most likely get killed by the spikes. You can also pound them with another weapon while they're hanging on the wall. ***YOLK-O-MATIC*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 2 Rate of Fire: 5 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Projectiles, Mega Damage Michael's Rating: 10/10 Notes: This weapon is awesome. It has a super-fast fire rate and can kill opponents very quickly. It shoots out eggs so fast they blur together. I'd grab it without question if I saw it. You can see it in action during one of the commercials. If your opponent gets one, I'd just avoid him. ----------------------- 7.3. MELEE WEAPONS ----------------------- ***CACTUS*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 1 Rate of Fire: 3 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Melee, Annoy Michael's Rating: 6/10 Notes: The cactus is pretty quick, especially in the hands of a computer player on Whacked difficulty. It can kill a guy without taking too much time. Again, I prefer to avoid players with cactus' unless I also have a pretty good weapon. ***FREEZE GUN*** Damage: 0 Star Loss: 0 Rate of Fire: 5 Most useful in: Deathwall, Spacewalk, High Rise Groups: Target Practice Michael's Rating: 10/10 Notes: This is one of my favorite weapons. You shoot out a freezing cold blast that can freeze opponents into a solid block of ice. Frozen characters may slide into the deathwall, or off a ledge. After you've been frozen and then thawed, you'll be invincible to Freeze Guns for about 10 seconds (you'll be blue during this time). Use this time to attack the carrier of the Freeze Gun. ***MALLET*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 3 Rate of Fire: 3 Most useful in: Bigger levels Groups: Melee Michael's Rating: 5/10 Notes: You'll grab this hammer that can smash people pretty good and you'll move faster than usual, too. Unfortunately, you lose some control of your character and you can't move backwards at all. You also can't jump very well. I usually avoid this weapon, unless it's a last resort. ***PITCHFORK*** Damage: 3 Star LOss: 3 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Melee Michael's Rating: 4/10 Notes: Once you've got an opponent on your pitchfork, you can either hold them on it for a few seconds, or you can send them flying over your head. Or you can hold them and put them in the path of danger, like the deathwall or the train. ***STAPLER*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 3 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Basic, Melee Michael's Rating: 2/10 Notes: It acts just like you'd expect a Stapler to; it staples opponents to the ground. This is the best melee weapon to use in Chicken because you might be able to kill more than one chicken at a time. I don't prefer to use this weapon in regular combat though, unless I can't find anything better. ***STICK OF REASON*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 4 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Deathwall, Pirateship, High Rise, Spacewalk Groups: Basic, Melee, Batter Up, Target Practice Michael's Rating: 7/10 Notes: This is just a baseball bat. It is pretty darn powerful, sending opponents flying a long, long way. They'll drop a lot of stars as well. You can avoid it by sending a homing weapon at the guy who weilds the Stick of Reason. ***THE SHOCKER*** Damage: 2 Star Loss: 2 Rate of Fire: 5 Most useful in: Bigger levels Groups: Basic, Melee, Annoy Michael's Rating: 3/10 Notes: You lose all control of yourself as you shock your opponent. It hurts them fairly bad, but it makes you quite vulnerable. They could try to slam you into the deathwall or something while you're shocking them. I hardly ever use this weapon. ***URP!*** Damage: 0 Star Loss: 0 Rate of Fire: 2 Most useful in: Artic Pipeline, Deathwall Groups: Annoy Michael's Rating: 3/10 Notes: If you have the Urp can and you catch fire, you can blow firey burps towards opponents. That's why it's good to have in Artic Pipeline, just jump down into the fire there you go. It's also good in Deathwall because you can burp them into the spikes. You can also charge it up for a bigger burp. ------------------------ 7.4. TRICK WEAPONS ------------------------ ***STAR MINES*** Damage: 3 Star Loss: 2 Rate of Fire: 4 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Explosives Michael's Rating: 4/10 Notes: You can place 5 of these little exploding stars anywhere you want. They look similar to real stars, but if you look closely, you'll see that they are actually upside-down. If you placed them, you can just run right through them, but they'll cause serious damage to opponents. If you place them while you're invisible, they'll be practically invisible too. I recommend you either put the Star Mines where the Exclamation Point generates, or right by an interactive item, like a switch, spring, cannon, or something. ***STICKY BOMB*** Damage: 3 Star Loss: 3 Rate of Fire: 3 Most useful in: Anywhere Groups: Annoy Michael's Rating: 1/10 Notes: This is, in my opinion, the worst weapon in the game. If you get them, you have 5 Sticky Bombs to place on your opponents. You have to be close by them to do it. If a player with a Sticky Bomb on him gets hit (by anything), he'll explode. If you have a Sicky Bomb (or several), you can get them off you by Jump Attacking another character. The bombs will then be transferred from you to them. The only way to really use it is to get a couple Sticky Bombs on an opponent, search for another weapon, and hit them with it. They'll explode, giving you lots of stars, unless somebody already saw them with Sticky Bombs on them and killed them while you were searching for another weapon. That's why I consider this the worst weapon in the game. --------------------- 7.5.

GAME MODES ********************* On the main menu, there are 5 different selections, Gameshow Mode, Battle Mode, Rehearsal, Theater, and Settings. Here's some information on each of those. --------------------- 8.1. GAMESHOW MODE --------------------- This is the single-player part of the game. So if you don't have any buddies around, it would be a good time to try this part out. The gameshow is made up of 4 stages, composed of 3 studios with 3 battles each. So each stage has 9 battles, for 27 total battles to beat all four stages. You can play any of the studios on the stage in any order, but you must beat the first battle of that studio before proceeding to the second. Every time you win one of the battles, something will be unlocked. You can either unlock a weapon, a character, a question mark power, a commercial, or a character movie. Once a weapon or question mark power has been unlocked, it can randomly generate during Battle Mode games. Once you've beaten the 4th stage, it will unlock the Hell level, and if you beat it, it will unlock an ending for the character in which you used. I recommend beating Hell with all the characters just to see the endings and prizes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.1.1.

HELL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STUDIO BATTLE GAMETYPE LIMIT MAP UNLOCKED ITEM N/A N/A Combat 200 in 5 minutes Hell Van Tastic --------------------- 8.2. BATTLE MODE --------------------- Due to the fact that we don't have XBox Live, I'm not sure what happens when that option is selected. We always just use Single XBox. There are some setting to select before playing. You must choose which map to play on, the difficulty of computer players (if any), game type, game limit, and weapon types. There are six different types of games in Battle Mode. Five of them, Combat, Dodgeball, Grab 'N' Run, Fragfest, and King of the Hill, can be played with more than one human player. The sixth game, Chicken, is only available if it will be one human vs. 3 computer players. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.1. COMBAT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Combat, you will be trying to collect either 50, 100, 150, or 200 stars, whichever the game was set for. There will be white stars on the ground; they fall from the sky. Collect these as fast as possible. You can also attack an opponent, either with your fist or a weapon, and make them drop stars of their color. When you are attacked, you'll also drop stars. The number of stars a character drops depends on what weapon they were attacked with. You can't collect stars of your own color, but if they sit uncollected for about 5 seconds, they'll turn white and you can collect them. You will also lose stars when you fall off an edge and they will fall from the sky as white stars. You will lose more stars when killed if you are in 1st place, than any other player would when killed with the same weapon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.2. DODGEBALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Dodgeball, there's only one weapon: the Dodgeball. Each player will start with a pre-chosen amount of "lives." You can choose from 4, 6, 8, or 12 lives. Every time you get hit by a Dodgeball, you lose one of these lives. When you hit somebody, you may get a life back. It seems that if you want to increase the odds of getting a life back, alternate on who you hit. Getting hit by a Dodgeball can be especially frusturating in Deathwall, when a Dodgeball could hit you and knock you into the spikes (this costs you two lives). When somebody throws a Dodgeball at you, and you facing them and are not holding a Dodgeball yourself, you can press the attack button at the exact right moment and catch the ball out of the air. Also, watch out for richoceting Dodgeballs. Being hit by one will cost you a life, even if it was thrown by you. I've even been hit by a ball that bounced off of an opponent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.3. GRAB 'N' RUN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Grab 'N' Run, there is a yellow Trophy (that says YAY on the side). You must try to hold onto the Trophy as long as you can. You accumulate time as you hold it. The first character to have held the trophy for the chosen time (one through four minutes) wins. If you die, your time stays where it was until you get the Trophy again. You can get the Trophy by killing the character with it. Once the person with trophy dies, it will fall right there and you can grab it. There are a few exceptions to it falling right where the guy died. If he died by running into the Deathwall, the trophy will bounce a bit toward the center of the level. If he died by falling off an edge, the trophy will randomly appear somewhere in the level. I tried to make a list of the possible regeneration points, but it seems that it can regenerate pretty much anywhere. While you hold the Trophy, you run much slower and can barely jump at all. Try to keep running away from everybody, and use the springs in Spacewalk, the air vents in Highrise, or any other surroundings you can find to try to escape from the other players. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.4. FRAGFEST ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This type of Battle Mode gives the game it's first-person shooter type of touch. All you have to do in Fragfest is kill your opponents more times than anybody else did. You don't have to collect stars or trophies after killing them, so don't worry about that. Use high-powered weapons, like Yolk-o-matic or something, if you can find them. If not, the Cleaver is usually a pretty good weapon. If you accidently commit suicide while playing Fragfest, your kill count will be subtracted by one. The only exception to this rule is if you were already at zero kills. You can't go into the negative numbers. My brother, Zach, currently holds the family record for highest kill count in a 3 minute Fragfest, 22. But usually somebody will win if they get 11 or 12 kills, at least in 3 minute games. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.5. KING OF THE HILL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The last of the games that can be played with more than one human player. In this one, killing an opponent doesn't count for anything, it just gets them out of the way for a moment. Your objective in King of the Hill is to stand on a green, swirly area of the level. This green area varies in size, but it's usually pretty small. I've tried to list all the possible green, swirly areas up in the Levels section, but I might have missed some. Some levels have more Hill locations than others. Just stay on it for the set amount of time first to win. While you're on the green area, try to smash your opponents using the Mallet or the Jump Attack, because if you are smashed, you don't accumulate time. You do, however, accumulate time if you are frozen or if you are stuck to the wall with a Shish-Ka-Bob as long as you stay on/above the green area. Your time will also increase if you are in the air above the green area as you're jumping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.2.6. CHICKEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This one can only be done if it's just you, with no other players. It's pretty good practice, though. It will be you versus a lot of chickens and you must kill them and collect their stars. You will win if you can collect the pre-determined amount of stars. It's a lot like Combat, except it's just you and a bunch of chickens. ----------------------- 8.3. REHEARSAL ----------------------- Um, I forgot what's here when you select Rehearsal.

COMMERCIALS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------- Earthday -------- 'Things you probably shouldn't do. A public service announcement' There's a sign that says "Earth Day, Hug something organic." So this guy hugs a cactus, then his eyes bug out. -------------- Goodbye Doggie -------------- A girl says, "Sometimes when people are better than me, I say 'Goodbye Doggie.'" Then the dog explodes. --------- Bad Books --------- There's this caped-villian-looking-guy standing on a hill, then the narrator says, "Hey, you. Think you're evil?" Then some books are stacked up with these titles: Kittens Make Great Jackets No Mommy, Not The Clown Suit Tomorrow You'll Be Alone Forever There's also a huge book without a title. ---------- Freeze Gun ---------- There's two guys, one has a Freeze Gun and says to the other, "I freeze you." Then he proceeds to freeze him. After he's done so, he says, "You're frozen." Then up comes the splash screen that says, "Mister Jared's Freeze Gun." ----------------------- How to Walk with a Rock ----------------------- A guy is shown carrying large rock and the narrator says, "Hello children. Have you ever wondered how to walk with a rock? Here are some ways you can share with your sister." The guy proceeds to carry the rock in multiple ways: In both hands Drags it behind him with his feet as he crawls Holds it with one hand and one foot as he walks on his other hand and foot Balances it on one finger Drags it behind him with his hands while scooching along --------------------- Smiley Happy Filthies --------------------- A goopey smiley face drops down and stars dancing saying, "Happy Smiley Filthies. I like them, you like them, we all like them, okay!" -------------- Special Report -------------- A newsreporter lady says, "This just in. Scientists have just discovered the most annoying sound. Let's take a listen." Then the screen changes to a swirly red on yellow while making a high-pitched shrieking noise. --------- Asson Oil --------- A company called Asson Oil talks about how they get oil, and how it effects the world. Pretty lame. ------- Getaway ------- 'Things you probably shouldn't do. A public service announcement' Theres a guy riding in the back of a truck with a police car tailgating them only a couple feet behind. The guy then leaps onto the hood of the police car to grab some matches. He takes them back onto the back of the truck and lights a blow torch. He proceeds to try to melt the windshield of the police car. Sirens wail. ----------------- My First Chainsaw ----------------- A baby starts a chainsaw, while baby music plays. ------ Nateos ------ There's a guy splashing his hands inside a huge bowl of Nateos while singing, "Nateos, Nateos, why am I eating this? Nateos, Nateos, tastes like ???rotten fish???" -------- Scrapple -------- This commercial alternates between three scenes, a pig on a conveyerbelt, a bunch of pink goop falling into a jar, and several pigs dancing. All the while, a song is being sung, "Grind up a pig, put it in a can...Scrapple! Grind up a pig, put it in a can...Scrapple! Yes I am, a Scrapple man, think I'll have another can. Grind up a pig, put it in a can. Scrapple." ---------- Spank Tank ---------- This one shows a kid sitting on the floor with his back against the wall, when a voice from out of the scene says, "Hey, Billy, want a battery?" Billy has just enough time to say, "All right" when a huge battery come flying and smashes him into the wall. He pries the battery off himself then says, "I will crush you!" He puts the battery into the tank and starts blasting. ------------ Yolk-o-matic ------------ The scene is a kitchen. Be sure to notice that the picture hanging on the wall says "FART." The narrator says, "Tired of feeding your family one egg at a time?" Then one guy at the table gets a Yolk-o-matic and starts firing it at the other family members. Oh, and by the way, it's not available in Iowa. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8.4.3. CREDITS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --coming soon-- ---------------- 8.5. SETTINGS ---------------- Split Screen (Horizontal or Vertical) SFX Volume Music Volume Voice Volume ************************** 9. GAMEPLAY TIPS ************************** 1) The only time you should stand comletely still is if the Bees are on you. Otherwise, keep moving around, even during Upside-Down Cam, or while standing on the Hill. 2) In some situations, it might be better to leap off an edge than take a hit, like to keep an opponent from grabbing the Trophy you were holding or from immediately grabbing the stars you would've dropped. ************************** 10. QUESTION MARKS ************************** The Question Marks will usually have something good for you to get, but sometimes you'll regret grabbing it. There are a few bad effects that may come from the Question Mark, but they're pretty rare. On Fire is the most common of the bad ones. ----- Armor ----- Your character turns gold-plated and nobody can hurt him. You can still fall off the edge, get killed by Death, get kicked by the Can Can Leg, or killed by the Death Wall, though. ------- Da Bomb ------- This one is guaranteed death. There'll be a ticking bomb above your head. It lasts 10 seconds. The only thing you can do is try to stay next to somebody, so when the bomb goes off, it takes them out as well. Actually, death is not 100% guarenteed. You can lose the bomb if somebody hits a Big Red Button and it causes you to be It (a red arrow replaces the bomb). I've only seen it happen once. --------- Double Up --------- A crown will appear on your head. Every star you collect will count as if you had collected two stars. The only down-side is that if you hit a Starmine, you'll lose a lot of extra stars. But aside from that, this one's awesome. ---------- El Vampiro ---------- You'll know somebody has activated this one because of the music. The player who has activated it will have a hat on their head and they suck stars out of opponents they go near. The sucked-out stars will not go direcetly to you, they must still be picked up. -------------- Feeding Frenzy -------------- Lots of stars will appear for you to collect. When this is activated, be prepared for all opponents to come running to help you collect the stars. Listen carefully when it's announced whether it was a Feeding Frenzy or a Freeding Fenzy (described below). -------------- Freeding Fenzy -------------- This is just like Feeding Frenzy, except that all the stars that pop out are Starmines. Be careful to listen to what exactly is announced as they fall. If it's a Freeding Fenzy, the Starmines will not explode for the character that activated the Freeding Fenzy, just the other characters. If other characters die because of your Freeding Frenzy, you get the kill (in Fragfest). ------------ Invisibility ------------ One of the more helpful ones is Invisibility. Nobody can see you or the weapon you're holding. If you are holding the Trophy, it will still be visible, so that's too bad. If you drop Starmines while invisible, they will be almost invisible as well. Opponents can still see the Leaderbeam, if it's on you. ------- On Fire ------- One of the few bad things that can happen to you when getting a Question Mark, is On Fire. You start on fire, and there's only two ways to get rid of it. Either touch another player, passing the fire to them, or you could get in some water (which is only available in Can Can or Jeffrey's Kitchen). If you can't get rid of it in under a few seconds, you'll die. ---------- The Plague ---------- This one is one of the rarest. You start getting some kind of bubbles or something above you and your stars will drop one at a time. If you get The Plague, the only thing you can do is to try to spread it by touching other players. ------ Vacuum ------ All stars within a small radius of yourself will be sucked up. Again, the down-side is that the Vacuum sucks up Starmines as well. ************************** 11. BIG RED BUTTONS ************************** My personal recommendation regarding Big Red Buttons is that you don't push them when you're in first place. Three of the twelve different effects are horrible for the leader. But, I still always push it, even when I'm leading because of curiosity and the other 9 effects are pretty cool. ----- Death ----- The entire level gets almost pitch black. You have very little line of sight. A skeleton hand will walk around the level killing anybody it comes in contact with. It moves pretty fast, so if it's chasing you, don't look back behind you to see if it's still following you, it will probably catch up to you in the second you turn around. Try jumping around to avoid it. -------------- Fish Eye Lense -------------- This one kind of stretches the camera, giving it an elongated look. It appears that you are moving faster than you really are and gauging your jumps could be difficult. I'd recommend not jumping over gaps when the Fish Eye is on. ------ Magnet ------ A bad one for the leader. All of the players, aside from the leader, get 3 Plunger Missiles. And they are all going to track you down as long as the magnet is floating above your head. If the magnet is above your head, don't shoot off missiles of your own, or they'll come back and hit you. --------- Minefield --------- Tons and tons of Starmines drop from the sky. Not only that, but all the stars that were already on the ground turn into Starmines. Touching any will cause them to explode. It's much easier to just not move, but if you have to, move very carefully. Also, a short time after the Starmines fall, they will just all spontaneously explode and that can kill you, too, so watch out for that, too. ----------- Missilefest ----------- Everybody gets three missiles. This is the only time during the game that you can hold more than one missile. When this is pushed, I recommened that you hide somewhere so none of the computer-controlled opponents can lock on to you and save the missiles for a short time after everyone else has used theirs, because nobody expects you to have them at that point. --------- Play Ball --------- Everyone gets a Stick of Reason. Try not to let anybody get behind you, and keep swinging that bat over and over again. ------- Screwed ------- If Screwed occurs, all stars turn the color of the leader, so he can't collect them. If all the stars turn your color, you can still hit your opponents and make them drop stars of their own color. ----------- Simmer Down ----------- All weapons on the ground, in somebody's hand, or flying through the air will disappear and there will be 10 or 15 seconds of a fist fight. You can only attack by squashing an opponent or knocking them off an edge. ---- Swap ---- Now this one is fun. For 10 seconds you control an opponent. Sure, you could collect stars for them, but that wouldn't do you any good. Take him and leap off the nearest edge. Try to get him killed at least twice in the 10 seconds. Of course, there is one other thing you can do during Swap. If you now control a computer player that is on an easy difficulty that makes them a non-threat to you, I recommend using their character to attack your biggest threat when he is being controlled by an easy computer. Since that isn't very clearly worded, here's an example: if I'm playing Lucky and brother is playing Toof and the Swap gives me control of Lance, who is a computer on Very Easy, I would attack Toof with Lance. Toof would be just wandering around like a Very Easy computer because my brother would have Swapped with either Lucky (me) or the other computer player. But, if the computer players were on Whacked difficulty, then they are a threat and I would just proceed to drop them off an edge two or three times. --------------- Upside-Down Cam --------------- This one sure makes it interesting. The camera flips upside-down, so when you try to go left, you actually go right, and vice versa. Forward is still forward and back is still backward. Jumping over gaps becomes pretty difficult, so I wouldn't recommend it. It's okay to keep running around in levels like Can Can, Car Crash, Club Bano, etc that don't have lots of places to fall off of and die, but I'd avoid too much fast movement in Hell, Spacewalk, and Highrise. --------- You're It --------- This is one of the terrible ones for the leader. Whoever is in first place will get an arrow above them and they will lose lots of extra stars when hit. If you're It, I'd try to keep moving as fast as you possibly can and jump around a lot to reduce the number of hits you take. ------------ Zombie Stars ------------ This one is kind of weird. The sky turns green and a bunch of living Zombie Stars will come after you. You can hit them with weapons, or just avoid them. If you hit the Zombie stars with a weapon, they'll turn into a real star. ************************** 12. EXCLAMATION POINTS ************************** Getting an exclamation point is the best thing you can do for yourself in the game. Grab it all costs. Below I have listed each character's exclamation point powers and how to use them well. Here's a general tip, though: if somebody else has the exclamation point and they are close to winning and they are about to kill you, commit suicide. Just jump off an edge. It'll keep them from getting your stars. ----- Lucky ----- Turns into a tornado and sucks up all the stars within a large radius of himself. He can also suck up opponents and send them flying, costing them lots of stars. If you're Lucky: Run around quickly, but be careful not to fall off an edge or something. It's safer not to suck up opponents, but if there aren't very many stars, go for it. If you're Lucky's opponent: Avoid him at all costs. Try to fire Missiles, Good-Bye Doggies, or any other range weapon at him. If he sucks you up, try to use your weapon while you're spinning around him, you might get a lucky hit. ------ Eugene ------ Starts flying around and whacks opponents with his spinning hat. If you're Eugene: You have no other option than to try to hit your opponents. You have the speed advantage, but it's a little more difficult to control yourself. Especially go for unarmed opponents. If you're Euguen's opponent: Just hide. Keep a good weapon nearby in case he comes along. If he comes try to hit him with a range weapon, and keep moving erratically and jump a lot. ---- Toof ---- Puts on a chef's hat and all opponents become hamburgers. Toof can then chase down these slow moving hamburgers and knock out a lot of stars from threm. If you're Toof: Again, no choice but to go after opponents. The hamburgers can't move fast, so try to chase them quickly. Don't waste too much time on trying to get a certain hamburger because Toof's exclamation point doesn't last that long. If you're Toof's opponent: If Toof comes along, here's the trick. Keep jumping! Jump around in weird, unexpected ways to throw him off. ---- Lucy ---- The Kiss of Death. She can run up to opponents and the Kiss of Death will send them flying. If you're Lucy: Like most characters, you'll have to go after your opponents. Hit them and they'll drop lots of stars. If you're Lucy's opponent: Send range weapons her way. It's the only option, aside from running away, of course. ----- Lance ----- All characters besides Lance wear purple hats. Hit them and they'll drop lots of stars. If you're Lance: Again, try to hit your opponents. You can do it yourself, or use a weapon. Either way, they'll lose a lot of stars. If you're Lance's opponent: Projectiles, projectiles, projectiles. It's pretty much the only useful weapon set during exclamation points. And run; keep on the move. ------- Charity ------- Tons of yellow stars with green dots on them appear and only Charity can collect them. For everyone else, they act as Starmines. If you're Charity: I wouldn't waste much time trying to get opponents, because they don't seem to die any easier or drop much extra stars. Just collect the yellow and green stars that fell. If you're Charity's opponent: I'd just hold pretty much still. If you must move, move very carefully. You can try to hit Charity with a projectile if she coms near. ---- Otto ---- Starts using Z's as weapons, as they shoot out of his body when close to an opponent. The Z's wil knock out lots of stars. If you're Otto: You're going to have to run up next to opponents. This is why Otto's exclamation point isn't very good. If you're Otto's opponent: Just stay away from him. Keep on the move and use projectiles. --- Van --- Two of Van's minions will appear to help him. If you're Van: I'd just keep collecting stars. Let your minions do your dirty work for you. They'll go after your opponents and knock stars out of them. If you're Van's opponent: Van will drop more stars than his minions when killed, so go for Van instead. Of course, try to kill the minions if they bother you. ------------------------- EXCLAMATION POINT RANKING ------------------------- This part was pretty difficult to decide. I ranked everyone's special powers from best to worst and gave the reasons why I think it is so. You may have a different opinion, and if you do, e-mail me and let me know why. 1. LUCKY Lucky gets the #1 spot, hands down. If you get his exclamation point powers, you can aquire a least 100 stars and can take out opponents while doing it. There is a weakness, however. He is still suseptible to range weapons and even the bat. When I had this exclamation point, I have still been hit by Missiles, and I have been hit once by a Stick of Reason by my brother as I sucked him up. But Lucky is still a notch or two above the rest. 2. TOOF I gave Toof the second spot. Here's my reasoning for this. When Toof has his exclamation point, the other characters can't carry weapons. It is still somewhat difficult to collect stars, especially if your opponents are skilled, but practically impossible for you to die. My brother once played as Toof and got killed by a computer hamburger on Whacked difficulty. He was knocked off the edge in Hell. 3. CHARITY Charity is on the same tier as Toof, but I gave Toof the edge because his opponents can't carry weapons. Charity can be killed by opponents, but you can easily collect 50 or 60 stars while you have time. 4. VAN I gave Van the fourth spot, but he's another level down from Toof and Charity. The only reason he has the advantage over the rest is because he has some helpers, it's not just him. These last four have exclamation points that don't give them very many extra stars and can all still easily be killed. I won't even talk about them individually here because they're practically the same. If you are one of these characters and get an exclamation point, try to run up and kill opponents as fast as possible. If you're playing against these guys with exclamation points, send projectiles their way. 5. LANCE 6. LUCY 7. EUGENE 8. OTTO ************************** 13.
