Two New Mini-Games

[Vicks]

Schooled and Kung Fu Forest
Also, the rest of the 4th Floor is opened - 3 rooms to the north and 3 rooms to the south. :bloogrin

I opened up Kung Fu Forest, and I'll type up a Tip sheet on that when I get back this afternoon. It's pretty easy to get all the prizes, once you get the hang of the game.

You get:

2 Wilt Pics
3 Coco Pics
Angler Fish Lamp
Fishing Poster
Starfish Dresser

Schooled is like Q-burt
to kill the bad things,
stand on a book,
wait till they are next to you
then jump off the book as they start to jump, (just make sure you jump in a free direction)

Make sure you get all the books connected in a strait line from the bookmarked book to the same color as the bookmark before getting the bookmark.

Do not worry about getting the extra points for killing enemies in the early levels because there will be pleanty of oportunities for this in the latter levels.

Thanks for updating Vicki & Monty! I haven't been to the 4th floor only to pick up something for Bloo.

Okay here's my stab at a tip sheet to help some of you out in this game. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, so it shouldn't be too hard to get all the prizes. After a few initial tries, and I was used to the game, I easily got to over Level 30, and only quit because I had to go. lol I can't remember the points, but it was over 3000, I'm sure. It's been reported you need 900 to get all the prizes.

Basically, in this game you need to raise the banners that are high on certain cliffs. There are some baddies that look like cacti, who throw ninja stars at you. There are two kinds - a stationary one, who throws green ninja stars, and a mobile one, who jumps around and throws black ninja stars, like you throw at him.

The key is to kill all the baddies FIRST, and then go get the banners. I suggest you get all the moving guys first. They will shoot at you if you are in their line of sight. Sometimes they will drop a shield, and you can use that when you go after the guys who just stand there. This makes it much easier. You can stand underneath the guys who stand there, but they can shoot straight down, so be careful. Usually, they just shoot at an angle toward you.

If you shoot at a baddie as he's shooting you, your ninja stars will cancel each other out. Rapid fire is key here, because they can only shoot so fast. Just blast them and as soon as you get a shield, get it and go get the stationary guys.

Once you have killed all the baddies, and picked up their prizes, go after all the banners. There's going to be anywhere from 1 to about 5 or so. Unlike bedtime bedlam, you'll have plenty of time to get all the baddies, their prizes and then get the banners.

Also, once you kill a baddie in a level, he's gone. So if you happen to die, only the ones that were left show up again. So that's good. I also noticed that around Level 20 +/- the layouts started to repeat randomly.

Important things to pick up -
Potion - 20 points (since each banner only gives you 20 pts, these are key to getting your score up faster)
Silver Medallion - Extra Life (once you get the hang of the game, you probably won't need them as much, but stock up. They are common, so it's easy to keep going in this game)
Shield - Invincibility (a definite must in helping get the baddies. Once you get one, go knock them all out, then worry about the prizes and banners later. Unless you fall off cliffs, you should have plenty of time)

I got to at least Level 32 and I never did see Jump Higher or the Super Ninja Star, so I assume these are for Levels 2 and 3 of the game. You can also get an hour glass, but I never really "needed" them.

Anyway, that's all I can think of at the moment. I hope this helps! :bloogrin

Unlocked Level 2 of Kung Fu Forest today!

It's basically the same as Level one, except now you walk to the right, as the scenery changes, and jump over areas of water. Be careful, because there are fish that jump out and they will kill you if you touch them. You can shoot them, but they will come back after a while, so work fast!

Also, the Super Ninja Star is added to the game. You get it from a baddie after shooting them. It allows you to shoot your star straight across, upwards and downwards at angles. It doesn't last too long (like the speedy shoes in other games), so work fast!

Also, the Silver Medallion for extra lives are fewer than in Level 1, so be careful!

It's about 1,100 points to get all the prizes. They are:
2 Wit pics
2 Coco pics
Bamboo Hat: Keep away from pandas.
Seaweed Window: Kelp yourself.
Jellyfish Lamp: Watch out for the tentacles!
Ocean Floor: Like water, but less watery.

I love the Kung-Fu Forest game. I receive over 4,000 points (I could have done better, if it weren't for certain distractions). Oh, well.
