~Clockwork Knight (Saturn) TIPS & CHEATS FOR THE SEGA SATURN VERSION BY : 2TUFF! This the game to revolutionise Platforms. Forget DKC on the Super NES. This game has the great animation of characters like DKC, but will new graphics techniques, of which DKC did not. All the levels graphics change perspective as you walk along and the sound throughout the game is incredible. The game supports screen panning and scaling, awesome speed in execution, and lots of 3D polygons in the bosses etc. The games rendering is superb with also great rendered cute in-between intros. This game makes you feel your Pepperachou yourself and your in this toyland/house. Real great title, the only thing that spoils it is the fact that its a little too short and eventually quite easy. I clocked the game in well under 40mins and lost 1 life just through stupidity. Hopefully Sega's part 2 will be longer and a touch harder. After paying œ81.49 its a little big on price for a short time of play. ~Level 1 - Bedroom Boss: As soon as he smashes his Top-Hat on the floor, get close and when he lifts it up, keep keying him in the body. Just before the Top-Hat comes back get clear. Dodge the Top-Hat and do the same proceedure again. Now when the Top-Hat lands his head only will pop out of top instead of arms as well like before. Follow head around and hit 3 times with Key. YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE1 * Great ginormous rendered boss which takes up 1/2 screen. Very fast action, brilliant sound efx with the booming of the bass when the Hat crashes on the floor. The music is also nice and atmospheric. Prepared to be amazed and thats only the beginning. ~Level 2 - Toyroom Boss: As soon as the plane version of this transformer comes towards the screen moves away either side of it. He will now drop two of the helmet Roman soldiers. Kill both soldiers before he comes back. As soon as he transforms back into a robot get close and then when hes changed keep jumping at him using your Key. If he lifts his arm up, hes going to throw a metal robot bar across the screen. You will need to jump over the bar if he does this. Repeat the proceedures over again for around 3 rounds. YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE2 * Great ginormous 3d polygon boss which transforms itself from a robot to a plane and vi-versa. The animation is absolutely mint. The screen also pans and scales depending on the action and where abouts your standing. All this is really fast and so amazing. The sound is as usual great. The ending is real nice with polygons and shapes exploding off the robot when defeated. ~Level 3 - The Kitchen * Always use the run&jump for jumping across gaps etc. * Wait for scale guage to get close to top then jump off. * Mind the tap water it kills you. * Be aware of the drag off the polished surface your on. * Quickly defect Teddy Bears in pots when in sight. * Stick to the objects floating in the sink water in pt2. * Always try and kane teddy bear in pots on layers areas. BOSS: As soon as it starts run towards him and Key the chief under the cooking-pot. This will push him backwards into end. You will now have to jump high and over the pot when it suddenly darts towards you. He will come back, and you do this again. The pot will float off leaving you time to wind/Key the character for a few times. Try and really get loads of Keyin's in. Then move out of the way. The pot will now bounce towards you highly and hardly. Run out of the way and then use the same proceedures as before. He will eventually die. YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE3 * Really nice sound as the pot clangs and spins on the surface. The music is also as usual great. The shear speed of whats on-screen is quite amazing and so realistic (you think your really in this god dame toyland). As usual lots of nice scaling and panning whilst fighting this georgous boss. ~Level 4 - The Attic * Always wait for the giant walls to open up, DONT rush things. * Always set the bombs off near the Clockwork keys etc. * Use the spring in the first part as you run to defeat foes. At the end of the first part near first wind-up box use the spring from beginning of part. Throw it the other side of the wind-up box and jump off it over the top of end. There is a slight gap if you look from alittle away. You can see this gap becuase of the games perspective style. Open the new win-up box, and you will find lots of clocks, an extra life, 3 wind-up keys + another wind-up box. Go into this box and it will bring you out where you left off as normal. When you get towards the end of this 2nd part of 1st part (Tehe) there is a like wooden box bridge over a gap. And as usual those spiral cylinder bombs. Wait for first one to get to the end, near you and then he will explode. Jump across using the run&jump technique. Jump above and kill the teddy Bear in pot. Now the 2 other bombs will explode and underneath on a platform theres a win-up key. Now get to the end where the giant wall is. You will notice a box hanging off the edge of the platform before this. When the giant wall is open enough to get through. Use your key on this 2nd height box, this will give you a invincibility Run now through the gap kaning the foes and grabbing the clocks and the extra life. BOSS: Go towards end but not to near end, when the giant gold robot falls. Quickly key him around 3-4 times. He will take a swip at you with a big hard downward punch. Move back using the Run slightly. Now quickly get close key him about 2 times. He will now jump in the air trying to stamp on you. Run under him and the otherside. When he lands try and hit him at least once. He will jump like this around 4 times. After the 4th time the floor will calapse and you will hit another floor/surface after a short drop. When you land quickly pick up the robots head with the B button. When picked up throw the head using the run&jump at the body piece with the >< marked on it. If correctly done you should be able to hit at least 2 times whilst hes getting back together. Always use the running instead of walking as walking becomes way to slow. Also you might find it easier to hold the head and jump using the C button instead of A. Now the boss spins keep running from either side and constantly throw the head at him when he comes towards you. Sometimes it will not damage him. After around 3 hits using that method, he will split up again and reform. This time his arms move in a motion towards the screen. You Must throw the head inbetween the 2 arms at least 3 times. If alls gone well he will now only be the body piece. he will now send out wireframe shapes of him, to show the direction and position he will be landing at. You should not this and get close so that when he stops you can hit him with the head. After around 2-3 of these he will die. You may need to jump over the body at times. Believe me when your not used to it, this text wont make its any easier, its akeward as hell but you'll get there. !!! Theres a little princess intro here now YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE2 * Supports some of the greatest graphics ive ever witnessed, and ive witnessed some on all formats from PCEngine>Neo-geo and 3DO etc. So fast and smooth + lots of scaling and Panning and the sound/music is great as usual. When the floor smashes underneath you, you drop and you and the robot spin and falls endlessly down to the ground and these massive polygons shiney lightsourced/rendered concrete blocks spin etc with you. REALLY AMAZING >>> SUDDENLY THERES THE USUAL RENDERED IN-BETWEEN INTRO BEFORE <<< THE BIG SUGAR DADDY OF BOSSES TEHE ~Level 5 - Last Boss [The T.V] BOSS: As soon as the the TV comes right on he will use one pincer to grab you, wait until it opens its calwas and then move out of its way. When it hits the deck key the pincer, the TV will get very angry and then pull out its circuit board. You must moves out of the way and then jump over the pencils in the cup. When over the pencils push them toward the boss so that he falls on top of them when he lands. key doing this and you will win. Also he will use double claws wait as usual till open moves slightly the key them. Also he will have backwards to front claws just wait till then are thrown forward moves then Key. YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE2 * Really great GFX, and sound the 3D effects look amazing, too hard to describe in a textfile or voice. You must see all these GFX in real life there and then to appreciate etc. >>>>> YOU HAVE NOW CLOCKED THE GAME *CLOCKWORK KNIGHT* <<<<< You will be presented with a rendered intro as usual. * A surprise intro/music ending with credits * A nice continuation plot for next episode.
