I really and truly like this game. So I decided to make a walkthrough for you people struggling to finish. I hope you like it, on to the FAQ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 1) Controls 2) Practice 3) Beginner 4) Intermediate 5) Ariel 6) Goofy 7) Ultimate 8) Copyright Info 9) Contact BPZ 10) Thank Yous ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 degree Up-Roll Up Down-Roll Down Left-Roll Left Right-Roll Right 45 degree (it is recommended in the manual that you hold the controller at a 45 degree angle) Up/Left-Roll Up Down/Right-Roll Down Down/Left-Left Up/Right-Roll Right ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Practice ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simple, If you can't complete this stage give up! Roll to the bottom, and watch out for the corners on the narrow section. Question, what are the numbers for? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Beginner ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roll down the first ramp ignoring the steely look out for the marble munchers although the eating animation is kinda funny. DO NOT go down the first tube!! I haven't been able to get by the lumpy track. Roll carefully to the end point. Now approach the blue section kinda diagonally and roll into the goal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Intermediate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as you get off the platforms you will run into the walls. Try to make them less of a hindrance by messing around with the Dpad. Roll past the munchers and to the acid puddles. there will be a gap in the pattern of the puddles, roll through that. go down the tube to the wave machine. Roll on between waves and quickly roll to the other side then roll to the goal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) Ariel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pull back on the marble so you don't roll off the edge. Make your way past the suckers, they will kill your marble in a funny animation and it sucks up a _lot_ of time. Get in the catapult now you have two choices, to go onto a normal track or be daring and platform jump. Be bold power roll (hold B) form one ledge to the other between poll ejection. Soon you'll come to hammers, my advice, roll by when they are going 2 at a time and roll into the goal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Goofy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "EVRYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG" I really like this level. Roll up the ramp to a mini setup. Mash your favorite enemies for extra seconds. Roll up the pipe and roll quickly to avoid the slanted track. Avoid the birds and roll up to a point where there is a downward ramp. Try not to get hung up and proceed to the goal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) Ultimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roll onto the beam and power roll into the hole watch out for the blue section roll by the red and black sections of the track. Black slows you down and red is slippery. Power roll past the track notch. Go to the top corner of the blue area and roll straight down. Avoid the steely and don't power roll on the disappearing platforms good luck reaching the goal!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8) Copyright Info ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- By BPZ, copyright 2000.
