1 Introduction
The story is basically that Puggsy has crashed on a planet and is looking for
help; to continue between each level he must solve a puzzle to reach the
exit. (For more of the story, read the descriptions of each CARTOON SEQUENCE
after the bosses.)
2 Common Objects
Shells
These have no special use other than serving as a bonus at the end of the
level.
Point value:(This is what you get if you carry this object into the exit)
Normal shells (the brown fan-shaped ones) = 900 points
Others = 100 points
Guns: These can take various forms; some are normal, others shoot bubbles, or
have other special powers. Once you have fired about five or six shots (or
two to four with others), the gun will break.
Point value: Intact = 900 points
Broken = 100 points
Coins: Mostly gold, these act as a nice bonus and occasionally have to be
used to used to enter a door. They usually come in gold, but can also be in
silver and green.
Point value = 900 points
Keys: These are used to open the various treasure chests and locked doors
found in the game.
Point value = 500 points
Tin Cup: This can also be used as a weapon, like the gun. When activated, it
will allow Puggsy to throw water at the oncoming enemy.
Point value: Full = 900 points
Empty = 100 points
Barrel: These are used to stand on.
Point value = 500 points
Clue Chest: These appear on some levels to help with more obscure problems,
but with this FAQ you won't have to open them and can get their full point
value by exiting with them.
Point value: Unopened = 900 points
Opened = 100 points
Match: These can be used on some levels to light cannons.
Point value = 100 points
Knife/Scissors: These can be both used to cut parts of the scenery away.
Point value = 400 points
Stool: Use these as platforms.
Point value = 500 points
Apples: Used for platforms, and for the bonus, mainly.
Point value = 500 points
10 - Ton Weight: This can be used to weigh Puggsy down when approaching a fan.
Point value = 200 points
Balloon: These can be very useful; if Puggsy inflates one, it will carry him
upwards and you can move it left and right with the direction pad. It can
also lift objects if you put one on top and inflate the balloon.
Point value = 200 points
Remote control: These can be used to concentrate on a specific point in the
level and (occasionally) move it, rather than Puggsy, using the direction
pad. This is usually an eye - shaped object found somewhere on the level (but
not always).
Point value = 400 points
Floating platform/Rubber duck: These can be used to cross water, as they
float on the surface. When Puggsy stands on them, they sink.
Point value = 100 points
Petrol cans: These can be used to blow up specific objects (N.B. none can be
taken to the end of the level.)
Torch: On some levels, a certain object must be placed infront of a certain
point to open a door; shine a torch on an area to find out where this point
is (it will show an image of the required object in the background).
Point value = 400 points
Power Ups
Sunglasses: Gives Puggsy an extra hit point (normally one hit kills him,
except with bosses.) You lose your sunglasses if hit.
Running Shoes: Similar to Sonic's red shoes; they speed you up (and increase
your jumping ability), but they also give you a hit point. If you have both
shoes and sunglasses, you lose the shoes the first time you are hit.
Shield: This makes you temporarily invincible and can only be used once, then
it breaks.
All the power-ups are worth 900 points if you carry them into the exit
intact; empty boxes and broken shields are worth a mere 100 points.
Heart: Carry this to the exit for an extra life. Most bonus games allow you
to get one of these.
3 Level Solutions
The Cove
1
This is easy; carry the shell to the exit and that's it.
2
Slightly harder; pick up the gun and shoot the hermit crabs, then go to the
exit.
3
Pick up a barrel and place it at the foot of the small cliff, then take the
key and use it to open the chest, and it will reveal a coin. Carry the coin
past the lever to open the exit.
The Cove
1
This is the first level to include a secret level (see secrets for access to
secret levels). There is also a pair of sunglasses tot he left of the
starting point. To reach the door, and get the treasure, use barrels to make
your way up to where the key is (to the right), shooting the baddies, then
jump over the gap, with the key. Open the chest for a coin, then go left and
fall down the gap.
2
Go left to the platform with the monkeys on, and grab the beak - shaped
object. Attach it to the stone parrot and the wall will vanish; you also
receive a gold coin as a reward.
BOSS: Polly Pirate
This is relativly simple; avoid the parrot's blunderbuss shots, and run onto
the fish, which you will automatically grab, then throw it, while facing the
parrot. She will jump onto the other end of the boat, and another fish will
appear. Keep going until you've beaten the parrot.
CARTOON SEQUENCE:Your ship has been stolen by the raccoons now (GASP!)
The Red Woods
1
Go right and grab an object (note that there are some sunglasses and guns
hidden in the huts). Carry the object to the switch and this will turn on the
fan to blow the bubble gun into reach. Use it to put out the first three
fires; you can jump over the last, and put another object at the foot of the
cliff to the left. There is another secret level (see secrets)
2
This level is easier with shoes all the way through; see serets to find out
how to access a secret room that gives you a constant supply every time you
lose them. Pick up the gun and jump onto the switch to make the key fall, and
then go right to the switch between the two huts and drop the gun (there is
another gun in one of the huts). Then shoot the fly and go and get the key, wh
ich will have blown into reach, then activate the invincibility shield the
fly dropped. Take the key to the lock and open it. Kill the bear (jump on its
head and press down), then go left across the treetops. Kill or avoid the
bear and grab the axe, then go back right (avoiding the moles if you're on
the ground) and enter the passage where the lock was, then throw the axe up
towards the bowling ball to break the floor;v the bowling ball will roll down
(it won't hurt you) and open the exit. To reach the heart, stack up objects
high enough so you can jump onto the top platform; avoid the fly.
Redwood Keep
1
This fairly straightforward level has the entrance point to a major secret
area, which will be covered in secrets. To play as normal, go up and kill the
mice; take the weight and carry it into the fan, avoiding the ghostly
bouncing heads-in-armour. once past the fan, drop the balls into the pit with
the fan it, making sure they do not bounce out to the left and use them to
help you pass (they will float up), then drop down, grab the gun and shoot
the ghosts and run to the exit.
2
Shoot the bear, then throw the remote control to the left, then jump over the
pit with the fans, using the balls and get they key and go back. Throw the
key down the slope and take the gun. Go down one level and right, past the
switches; kill all the baddies and use the key (which should be with the
remote control on the bottom level) to unlock the balls. Take four balls to
the switches. The diagram below shows which pattern of switches should be on
or off, where 0 = off and 1 = on:
1,0,1,1,0,1
Then grab another ball and take it to the wooden barrel with a hole in it,
and drop the ball, which will shoot out into the arena. You can use the
remote control to see what is happening. Using the correct switches will put
the arena in the right shape to bounce the ball up the the fan, which will be
on, which blows it right, to throw the switch and open the exit.
BOSS: The Emperor's Old Clothes
The large racoon will move left and right and stop, and - after a few
seconds, drop his hands to try and hit Puggsy. Standing on the pressure pads
will open one of the gates to drop the ball onto his head when it rolls
overhead. Bear in mind that if the raccoon's hand rests above one of the
pads, this will activae a door that is above his head currently, but one that
is not below his hand will activate a gate on the other side of the arena, so
you must time it so that the raccoon gets back under this part before the
ball falls through. Six hits is all it takes.
CARTOON SEQUENCE: The raccoons are now raising your ships up into Raclanti's
docks (you reach this area later in the game).
Star Fall Lake
1
No puzzles on this level, but this can be pretty annoying. Take a floating
platform with you and avoid or kill the raccoons in the lake (they are in
diving suits), and then drop the platform in the next lake section. Jump
across, using this platform, and take the harpoon gun, so you can defend
yourself against the fish (plural), and drop down to the bottom of the lake
(you can't drown in Puggsy) and head right to the exit.
2
First of all, kill the oyster in the pool, then head right; kill the racoons
and fish, at the bottom of the lake, then go back and collect the floating
platforms and rubber ducks. Now put them on the lake to form floating
platforms; the best way to do this is to throw the first to a point within
jumping range and get another, then jump onto the last one you threw and
throw the next from here. Bring the shells across to the other side and stack
about two u at the top of the slop, left of the exit and you can jump up tot
he platform above. Kill the oysters and collect the scissors. Go down to the
lake bed and cary the scissors to the tall weeds; this will cause part of the
floor to vanish. Quickly get rid of the scissors as two balloons holding an
extra life and a pair of sunglasses will float up, so grab the former and -
if needed - the latter. They may displace one of the floating platforms you
set, so you may have to redo your crossing before you can carry the heart
across to the exit.
Splinter Town
1 Go past the chimney with the brush sticking out (it doesn't hurt you), and
jump onto the platform with loads of objects on. There is a gun, and also
some sunglasses. Take the gun and commit mass murder on a grand scale (well,
kill all the raccoons that walk along the streets of their town). Find a
balloon (there are three or four on this level) and go to the left-hand
undrground section, and kill the puss-in-boot. Inflate the balloon below the
shaft in the ceiling and hold on (or let go, it doesn't matter). The balloon
will float up and open a trapdoor in the pavement. Let go and wait for the
sentry raccoon (who is invulnerable to your attacks), carrying the key to
walk onto it and he will fall, dropping the key. Use this to open the lock.
2
This level has two exits, each leading to a different area of the game. The
most straightforward one involves following the path at ground level. Kill
the raccoons with the water jugs, but ignore the town crier; he's part of the
scenery.
To get to the other exit, find the raccoon with a basket on her head and jump
on it (this raccoon can't hurt you, and doesn't mind you using her basket as
a platform!) Jump from here onto a rooftop and follow the rooftops along.
Also, collect the shoes on the floor, as there is one jump you may need some
help with, so use the box as a platform. Avoid the clouds of smoke from every
other chimney and go through the top exit.
Badger Mill (Accessed via the top exit)
1
This is fairly easy level; watch the flour being baked into bread, then run
down the slope on the left and grab the match (its on the wall tot he left,
then drop it on the conveyor belt, and it will come out red-hot. Take it down
to the bottom of the level and kill the sticks of barley and possessed loaves
of bread (you can use a bag of flour to do this, much like the water cup.
Throw the match at the rope holding the weight and it will land on the
see-saw, catapulting the key to the lock into reach. The exit is just right
of the conveyor belt.
2
This level is really frustrating, and is best done with the training shoes.
You must first of all stack up most of the silver coins behind the pipe to
open the door. To do this, stack up some coins and jump up with another coin
and let go; it will rest on the top of the pipe. Take another coin and knock
this first coin in and repeat. You must wait until the previous coin has
stopped bouncing, however, otherwise there is likely to be a frustrating
side-effect, where the two coins come to rest one in-front of eachother, not
stacked up. When there are only a few coins left, grab one and thrust it up
in the air by the pipe, so it bounces a few times and quickly grab another,
jump on the bouncing coin and throw it (the one in your hands) in. Eventually
the gate to the right will vanish, so pass through and use three stools as
platforms to get over the flames. Take another two stools and stack them up
by the exit and grab the eye and jump up to the platform over the exit and
throw the eye down the shaft. Grab and activate the remote control and you
will see a mouse shoving the eye to the left with a bag of flour, to hit a
switch that activates the exit.
3
Grab the remote control and switch on one of the switches on the floor and
activate the remote. You will home in on a series of platforms with bags of
flour on, being carried down to four switches on the floor. Wait until the
first of four bags is about to hit the switch and go on to the next switch
along. Repeat for the first three bags, then stand away from the switches and
the last bag should land on the one switch not activated, which will open the
exit.
BOSS: Flour Power
This boss only takes three hits to kill and is really easy once you know what
all the switches do. The badger's only defence is to throw a single bag of
flour at you. Use the left hand switch to switch between horizontal and
vertical control of the claw hand and the middle switch to alternately move
it left/right and up/down, witht he middle position to stop the claw. Keep
doing this until you catch the flour bag. The badger is now defenseless. Move
the claw all the way to the left and raise it, then move all switches to
their right-hand position,whci will cause the claw to travel along the
conveyor belt and dump the bag over the badger's head. Repeat twice.
CARTOON SEQUENCE: The raccoons carry Puggsy's spaceship through the docks.
Pyramids
This section is accessed via the bottom exit on Splinter Town (2)
1
Grab the remote control and start controlling the white raccoon (who's
carrying the eye), by using the direction pad, pressing upo to make the
raccoon jump, until he reaches the switch to open the door. Try opening one
of the other switches however, and a gold coin will also drop down for you to
take.
2
Grab a ball and take it to the teleporter. You must now throw it at the right
angle so it travels through a series of teleporters and ends up on the
switch; otherwise is will either warb back to you or get stuck. Take another
ball and take the upper route and activate the switch to free the white
raccoons. They will activate two switches. Stand right near the exit as one
will open the exit and the other will free a white raccoon, who attacks you,
and is invincible. Get into the exit as soon as you can. You may lose a few
lives in the process.
3
Grab the shape carried by the white raccoon (kill the raccoon) and the one
guarded by the snake. If you've not got shoes, then use one of these to make
your way to the next shape, killing the scarab beetles on the way. Take all
the shapes to the bottom of the level and kill the snake, then stack them up
so you can get to the chamber where the other shape is. Take all the shapes
up to the top, where there is a wooden pillar with holes that you must fit
the shapes into (throw the ones that have to go into the top). The exit is
now open.
BOSS: So Pharaoh, So Good
The pharaoh appears in a huge space ship and goes left and right trying to
hit you with his plunger. Use the pressure pads and the raccoon-statues will
fire plungers to hit the pharaoh. These can also damage Puggsy, however, so
avoid them too.
CARTOON SEQUENCE: A raccoon turns on a fan, which will cause you problems on
a later level.
Darkblade Forest
1
Take the crystal ball and carry it through the level. It is possible, but
tricky, to get it up the cliff (make sure you've got trainers), and then kill
the bat and cross the lake full of squid. Be warned that if you jump off the
propellor platform, it will start to float back to its staring point unless
you jump a little to the right, and it should follow you. Pass Wiz & Lizs'
gravestones (nice in-joke, or "Easter Egg", there, reference to another
Psygnosis game), and place the ball on the pedestal; the door will open
immediately. Take the ball again and exit the level.
2
Make sure you have trainers for this. Puggsy is being chased by a sorta boss,
a wierd cloaked figure with glowing eyes. Grap the catapulat and fire it so
you dislodge the stones that are hanging in the trees (these wil slow down
your adversary. To do this accurately, fire the first two as you pass the
first trees. The next should be fired as you pass a mushroom. Keep this up
and run into the exit.
3
Use the marbles as platforms to reach the bubble gun; ignore the candles,
they're a decoy, then go back and float the marbles int the water, but stack
them up, then jump on them with the gun. EVentually you should get up the
cliff to the right, so jump off and shoot the fires and exit the level.
Diamond Mines
1
Ignore the mining car and walk through the level, killing the mice and bears.
Exit the level. Seemed simple? There's a hidden exit (see secrets).
2
Kill the bear; take a stool and take it down to the rails; ignore the mining
cars and jmp up to the ledge vover the exit, with the stool. Kill the bad guy
and get to the key, using the floating platforms. Go back to the start point
and open the lock and kill the bad guy.
Take a petrol can and go to the rails. The mining cars go a little way before
hitting an object lying on the track and falling off. Put the can on the
object (whatever it is) and it will explode. Repeat this. Take the last can
and throw it under the platform at the end of the track. When the next cart
arrives, it'll push it up to the buffer and blow up part of the rock face,
making the exit accessible.
Darkskull Castle
1
There are two exits here; grab the remote control and activate it to move the
black thingy along. When it reaches a fan, stand on the correct switch (you
have to alternate switches when the pot comes to another fan) to activate the
fan. At the point there there are four fans in a row, move it over the second
from the left and you will get past. There is a heart but I can't figure out
any way to get it. Go either left or right; the best way is to do this game
twice in a row and enter both doors; one will lead to stage 2, the other to
Fire Heart (see below).
2
Grab the torch and search for the three letters on the wall; one is just left
of your start point, another is by the ghosts and the third is by the exit.
Take the uzi and zap the three ghosts carrying the letter that appeared and
take these letters to the matching ones on the wall, to open the exit.
3
The object of this level is to create a potion that allows Puggsy to make an
otherwise impossible jump. First of all (and this is the hardest part, so I
recommend you do this first), go to the table with the bats on either side.
There is a knife underneath. Grab one of the objects off the table, kill the
bats and then run towards the table (from the left is easiest), and make sure
Puggsy is holding the object close to the floor (use the direction pad). Let
go and thrust it right and if this is done correctly, it will knock the knife
into reach. Ignore the knife for now and take any object and go down to the
cauldron. Go right and there is an invulnerable raccoon guarding an egg. Go
to the switch above the raccoon and switch it on, when the raccoon is at the
right end of his territory and he should be trapped behind a wall, allowing
you to get the egg. Put the egg in the cauldron. Take the object back and go
to where the sunglasses are, and follow the passage. There is a bat holding a
leaf and a switch that is blocked by a plank. Go up and throw the object over
the plank and it will hit the switch, lowering the plank and killing the bat.
The leaf is yours; drop it in the cauldron. Take the knife now and go left of
the cauldron and kill ll the pumpkins; at the end is a frog. Now this is
really horrible; use the knife and you will cut off one of the frog's legs.
Put this in the cauldron and a potion will appear; drink it and puggsy will
speed up and be able to jump as far as he likes.
Fire Heart
1 (The level accessed from Darkskull Castle (1))
You are being chased downhill by a giant snowball! Run down the hill and
avoid the bouncing snowmen. Exit via one of two doors. You will access two
new stages if you enter both in seperate attempts.
2
I think you can access another level to the left of the previous one; this
simply involves walking along and killing all the snowmen and white raccoons.
There is an exit at the end and also a hidden exit (see secrets).
3
Kill all the raccoons; one will drop a petrol can, so pick it up and go to
the flat section where there is no snow. Stand on the snow to the right and
drop the ca on the flat area and it will explode, leaving a crater. Wait
until a load of flames has risen out of the top and jump down, to land on the
ledge on the right. Kill the badies and collect the four balls. These aren't
enough to reach the exit, or are they. Throw them up in their air and you
will find hidden ledges you can fit them into; one is a little way off the
ground; the next is slightly higher and to the left, and the next higher and
to the left again. The last is just left of the door. This may take ome
practice as knocking one when it is in place can dislodge it.
BOSS: Halitosis The Dragon
This is the hardest boss; when the dragon moves towards you, place Puggs
under his chin, out of range of the flames, and jump and press up to hit the
dragon. Keep doing this until the dragon is dead.
CARTOON SEQUENCE: Remember the bad guy who chased you in Darkblade Forest?
He/She appears again to magic up a cog wheel. Puzzled? You'll find out soon
enough.
Aztec Temple
1
Grab the gun and go up and shoot the bird. You will be blown back by a strong
breeke, so this is awkward. Go and get the statue's head and go up the tree
and jump to the raised platform. Be careful when you go under the second bird
and once you're past it, you're out of the breeze. Throw all three petrol
cans into the breeze and they'll blow back (or they should) and carry the
head back to the start. Take the head and the cans down to the bottom, where
some stones are blocking you. Blow up the stones and then stack up one or two
objects to get up the cliff. Take an emerald (worth 900 points) and when you
reach the bridge it will vanish (want to get across? see secrets). The main
exit is below.
2
Go left and kill the raccoon. Take one of the circular objects and put it to
the left of the pit with the crushers in. You can now get across; repeat
this. Grab the pulley and jump onto the wire that spans the last pit and hold
right; Puggsy will be carried across to the exit.
Racrock Forge
1
The last secret level is found here (see secrets); kill all the bears and
find the ball bearing. Take it to the top of the left-hand pipe and drop it
down. It will change shape (into a heart, I think). Go up again (using the
lift) and drop this down the right-hand pipe. Keep going until you have a
hexagonal ring-thing (the sixth object you make) and take it to the "VI"
symbol (this is 6 in roman numbers). You can now reach the exit.
?
2
Go right and kill all the bears. Get the stool and go up to the platforms to
get the balloon and key. Take them left, but don't touch the switch! This
permanently opens a hole that you can't get out of or pass. Under the shaft
with the deadly steam pistons, place the key on the balloon and inflate it
(the balloon, not the key), then let go. As fast as you can, go left and up
to the top of the shaft and leap across, grabbing the key and inserting it in
the lock to open the exit.
N.B. You cannot do the next three levels unless you have defeated all the
bosses; otherwise a screen showing which bosses you still have to do will
appear (this will only happen with the badger and/or dragon.)
Raclanti's Docks (This is where things get really hard)
1
Kill the raccoon and then go left and climb onto the top of the colonnade and
cross over the roofs, killing the gulls. Drop down on the other side of the
gap and take the match. Go back and stand a little way right of the cannon.
Thow the match at the cannon and jump up and grab the cannonball that is
fired out, then take it back to the other side via the rooftops. Use this to
pass the fan.
2
Take two barrels and go to where the cog wheel is (the one the spirit
magicked up). You cannot hold it yourself, but knock it off the platform to
the right with one barrel and have the other positioned to catch it. You have
to carry the barrel back with the cog; the best way to do this is to keep
throwing the cog in the air by jumping and then catching it again. This takes
a lot of practice, but you must put the cog on the other, identical,
platform, to open the exit.
Raclanti's Maze
Take the shoe box, and use it if you don't have trainers. Go left, down and
right. You will see two narrow platforms; stand on the left one and press
down; Puggsy will go through the platform, leaving the box behind. Go left
and up to the top, then go a little way down. The exit is down one of the
shafts (use the arrow at the top of the screen to guide you).
FINAL BOSS: If Looks Could Kill!
First of all, the giant raccoon will fire lasers from his eyes. Stand below
him; as the lasers begin, jump left and they will miss you. A few will
deflect against the floor and hit the raccoon while the others fly over
Puggsy's head. He will vanish and cogs will appear. Stand next to one cog,
and it will bounce; as it bounces, jump to land where this cog was before
another falls on your head. When you land, it will have bounced off screen.
(This move is best performed at the edge of the screen where you can't
overjump). He will also try and land on you; stand in the middle, and he will
fall to one side. Repeat this until the raccoon is dead.
4 Secrets
These are all the secrets I have found hidden away in Puggsy; most are secret
levels, but there are some secret bonuses hidden on levels.
The Cove (1): Treasure Trove
Collect the sunglasses if you don't already have them and then go down and
kill the lobster. The next part is tricky, but can be done if you grab the
hook and fall down at the very left of the pit, and push left and jump so
Puggsy uses the hook to grab the ledge. Throw the hook at the lobsters to
kill them, and kill the raccoon using the water cup you find. There is an
exit at the end of the passage.
This opens a secret level, indicated by a "?" on the map. This area contains
six treasure chests. The diagram below shows what each contains. Each key can
only be used once. The main key is in plain sight in the middle of the level.
TOP
One gold coin Trainers
Sunglasses A shell
A broken gun (*@$&!) A key, which
opens the Key top boxes
(the normal key will
not).
Exit
The Cove (2): Hidden 1 up
Go past the monkeys and kill the shellfish, and get the key. Then go to the
top of the hill and leap onto the platforms up above. Go right, avoiding the
gulls, and you will come to a chest, containing a match. Go left to the
cannon and light it using the match; it will break a platform above, sending
a stack of barrels down to the floor. Climb up these and grab the shield. Use
it and kill all the enemies, and there is a heart at the end. To pass the
barrels, put the heart on top, drop down a little and pick up the barrels and
tap left or right and they'll come crashing down and you can exit with the
heart.
The Red Woods (1): Wabbits World
Go right and cross the bridge, avoiding the bird who is spitting acorns and
climb the tree until you get the knife. Drop down and hold he knife at one
end of the bridge and it will collapse. Below is a door.
The secret level ou will open is really sadistic! Its full off Wiz & Lizs'
wabbits and Puggsy has a gun and you get to shoot them all. Climb the tree,
using some of the apples as platforms and ride on the moving platform. Kill
the wabbits on the other side and stack up apples (there's one hidden in the
hut, and you should also get one or two by riding on the moving platform
again and getting them from the tre). When the apples are high enough, jump
into the tree, shoot the wabbit and take the heart.
Redwood Keep (1): Secret Passage
THIS IS A MAJOR SECRET AREA!
Do the level as normal, but are you wondering why opening the chest after
getting the weight reveals a key? Go down to the level where the ghosts were
and shoot them as before, then flick the switch to the right. Get the balloon
and go left to some fans. Drop the balloon so it begins floating up and down,
grab the gun and jump onto the balloon. There are two raccoons on a ledge,
one holding a key. When this one is close to the ledge, shoot him and he
drops the key. The other raccoon will kick the key every time he reaches it
and it will eventually be within reach.
This is the hard part. Go back to the pit just left of the switch and put the
key on the balloon. Grab the balloon and inflate it and hold on. You will
rise with it untilyou reach the ceiling; to your right is a locked exit.
Carefully move the balloon left slightly. If you've done this right (and you
need to be really accurate), the key will bounce into the lock. If it misses
and falls, you've screwed up and must start again. If it goes in, carefully
manoevre yourself to the exit.
The secret level is pretty hard too; go right to get the remote control and
go back to the starting point, where there are three switches. Using the
remote control, you can see three airspaces, each one containing a pair of
fans (one at either end), a ball, and a switch. Each switch controls two fans
(one on two different levels). Keep changing switches until each of the balls
is resting on a switch (and therefore triggering it). Take the control right
(making sure you don't touch the switches) and place it on the switch at the
bottom of the level. Go back up and go right and you will find the exit.
The Light House
1
Run down the slope and jump into the pit, killing the baddies and grabbing
the key. Open the passage ahead. Kill the puffin (a-puffin' on his pipe!) and
the limpets, and you will reach a collection of shoeboxes. Take a pair if you
don't have them already and put a shoebox under the foot of the stairs up
above. Take another box and jump up ontot he stairs. Climb the stairs,
killing the limpets if you can (if you hit them they die anyway and you can
get more shoes from the stack of boxes). The exit is at the top.
There is also a secret level! Take the torch that is just right of the exit
and carry it down the steps. Go left and shine the torch until you see the
image of a shell. Go right and stack up boxes so you can reach the ledge with
the objects on and kill the puffin' puffin. Take the objects. There are two
shells and one matches the one you saw with the torch. As with the ghost
level, put this over the image and a hole will appear in the floor. There's
an exit at the bottom.
Secret Level: A Hidden Place
There are loads of letter blocks on this level, spelling out the words: "THIS
IS A SECRET ROOM". Take them all to the top and stack them up to reach the
heart. For an added bonus, play the level again, but instead of taking the
heart, stack up five letters so the word "HEROS" reads downwards, and go into
the exit with these. You will get a special screen with information about the
game.
The Light House
2
Go left and you will find a pipe. Carry it right to the bunsen burner and fit
the pipe in the gap in the pipe (to the bunsen burner), and go down andget a
coin. Carry this left and drop it in the slot. Quicky, run right, grab the
small candle and throw it in the bunsen burner, which is now lit (the flame
goes out if you leave it too long), then take it to the large candle and
throw it at the wick. When the candle is lit you can exit the level.
Angeltier Falls
1
This is an extremely obscure level. Place one shell so that you can reach the
first ledge, and jump up (carrying another shell) to the ledge with the
friendly raccoon on. Go right until you reach the waterfall. Place the shell
on the edge of the platform. Get another shell and take it up to here; now,
make the first shell bounce like you did in Badger Mill) and jump on it. When
you jump you should make it to another platform. Repeat the procedure and you
will land on a platform with a bridge to the right. Cross the bridge and take
the green coin. Tke this to the raccoon and he will exchange it for another
object. Keep exchanging objects and a knife will appear. Take this to the
bridge and cut it, then return to the raccoon. Exchange items until you get a
key. Go to where the bridge was and drop down; the bridge will have re-formed
here. Cross to the exit and open the lock. If you want an extra bonus, go
back to the raccoon and give him the key; he'll return the coin.
2
Take the wreath from the statue and stack up the apples to get up the cliff.
Go along until you pass the next wall and stack up the apples until you can
get up the cliff. Take the wreath with you. There will be another statue;
place the wreath on its head for a special bonus. Five hearts will drop out
of the sky. Carry them to the exit.
Lunar Jet Pugg
This is the end of this chain of secret levels and its probably the hardest
in the game. You muststeer puggsy through a maze of electric circuits, and if
you touch a wall you die and must start the level again. There is a gun you
can take but it is hard to get. (N.B. The only level I've not completed yet!)
Star Fall Lake (1): Star Fall Pool
When you drop into the main area where the door is, go left until you reach a
wall. Take the shield and jump up and keep jumping and Puggsy will rise up
until he reaches a passage. Use the shield to kill the oyster and go through
the secret door.
In the secret level, go all the way right. There is a room that you can't
enter that has several ducks floating in the water near a switch. Take one of
the ducks to your left and throw it into this room; if your aim is right it
will knock the other ducks and they will throw the switch. Go into the pool
on the left to get a heart and then go up and left to the lake with the
submarines in (avoid these). A hole will have opened up in the floor. Drop
down to the exit. This is a short cut to Badger Mill (2)
Splinter Town (1): Puggs In Space
Go all the way to the right and you will find a wishing well on the other side
of a pit. Stack up a few objects on the left of the pit and take any object
and jump the gap so Puggsy grabs the well. Drop the object in and fall to the
floor. The well will give you a gold coin for your troubles. Repeat with the
coin and a gap will open up to reveal a secret door.
The secret level is similar to space invaders; take the joystick and shoot
the food items that are slowly progressing towards you. Also shoot the man in
the car and the object holding the heart before leaving.
Diamond Mines (1)
Go to the end of the level and take the coin, then go back to the start. Jump
on a mining cart and then onto a high ledge, which contains an exit.
The secret level is a sort of matching game. There are four pictures and
eight objects. You must throw a object that is similar to each picture (in
order, left to right) into the teleporter. Use some of the spare objects as a
platform.
Here are the objects you must use (make sure you look at the order the
pictures are in, as these may not be in the correct order.)
PICTURE OBJECT
Gun Bubble Gun
Water Cup Barrel
Knife Scissors
Candle Torch
If you throw in a wrong object, or a right object in the wrong order, several
butterflies will be released to attack you. Get it right and you can exit.
This takes you to Fire Heart (2)
Fire Heart (2)
If you used the above method to reach here, don't go into the normal exit.
Stop short of it and take the balloon. Inflate it and hold on, and keep
heading left. Eventully you will see a ceiling overhead, so move left until
you're just left of it. There is an exit on it, so steer yourself to the
exit. This will open passages to the rest of Fire Heart and Badger Mill
(opening the normal exit will achieve nothing).
Aztec Temple (1): Aztec Games
Do this the same, but don't carry anything onto the bridge and it won't
vanish. There is a door on the other side.
In the secret room, grab the ball and use it to manoevre the white disc that
is floating around into the slot at the top. Moving it into the arrow pads
makes it move in the direction of the arrow; the "?" pad will make it
materialise in a random place and the "!" one will get it moving along the
top of the screen, which is a good chance to get it into the slot. An extra
life is your reward and the door opens to the right, off screen.
Racrock Forge (1): Pugsanoid
Do the level as normal, but don't go into the exit. Go up in the life and
jump onto the next reachable platform above the rather obvious second exit.
The floor at the end will now have vanished. Take bath the ball bearings and
drop them down the left pipe to turn them into hearts and carry them into the
exit for two easy lives.
In the secret room, thrust the heart up to knock out the blocks above you, or
alternatively jump up. When all the blocks are gone, the exit opens.
There are 51 levels in total; this guide should help you beat them all!
