- 2) Characters/Weapons/Magic Powers
-
- Note : If a weapon has a "*" beside it, it can be upgraded to level 2 and
- level 3.
-
- Goemon
- The hero of the game, Goemon's only character flaw is his tendency to
- lose his temper and get into fights. On the request of the King of Oedo
- Town, he sets off to find out who and what is behind the mysterious
- organization threatening to take over Japan.
-
- Where Found - You start out him
-
- Weapons -
- *Pipe :
- Goemon starts out with the Pipe. It's great for up-close combat.
-
- Chain Pipe :
- You get this from the Pipe Maker on Mt. Fuji. Like the Hookshot from
- Zelda, it can hook on the Star Boxes (Well, that is somewhat like Zelda). Best
- use for defeating baddies from a little distance.
-
- Ryo :
- You can throw Ryo to attack. The ideal weapon for long-distance fighting. Of
- course, each time you throw it, it will cost 1 Ryo.
-
- Flaming Ryo :
- Once you have donated 5 Ryo to the chest at Kompira Mt., you shall recieve the
- Medal of Flames. Instead of just throwing some Ryo, charge it up.
- You will throw a Ryo surrounded by flames. It costs 3 Ryo to do this
- attack. The Flaming Ryo does x2 the amount of damage as a regular Ryo.
-
- Magic Power - Sudden Impact :
- With the need of 10 Ryo, it allows you to increase your power. Besides it
- turning Goemon's blue hair to gold, his attack power doubles,
- but beware you absorb x2 the amount of damage from an
- enemy.
-
- Ebisumaru
- A self-styled "Ninja of Justice" who does things his own way and in his
- own good time. Settling down in Edo, he now lives with Goemon.
-
- Where Found - You start out with him
-
- Weapons -
- *Saw-Hammer :
- Ebisumaru starts out with this wooden hammer.
-
- Meat Saw-Hammer :
- One of the best weapons in the entire game! You can find this weapon in
- Festival Temple Castle. Just about everytime you defeat a baddie, you can
- usually get a heart-restoring Dumpling.
-
- Windup Camera :
- You can find this strange camera in Ghost Toys Castle from the Crane Game.
- When it is used, it will reveal hidden paths, items, and it makes the ghosts
- solid so they can be killed.
-
- Magic Power - Mini- Ebisu :
- This power shrinks Ebisumaru, allowing him to go through small doors and such.
- You cannot attack while in small form.
-
- Sasuke
- A mechanical ninja created by an Iga Wiseman. A tough cookie with a
- trusting soul, Sasuke loves hot baths and Japanese green tea. I think
- overall, he is the best fighter. =)
-
- Where Found - Zazen Town, from Benkei
-
- Batteries -
- #1 :
- Where - Inaba Dune
- How to get it - Go to the lake, the battery will be in the center of it
- #2 :
- Where - The Lake With The Large Tree (I think that is what it's called)
- How to get it - Use the Windup Camera in the tree, then the battery will
- appear on top of it.
-
- Weapons -
- *Kunai :
- Sasuke starts out with the Kunai blade.
-
- Fire Cracker Bomb :
- The mechanical ninja starts out with this bomb. Using this bomb on cracked
- doors, they will open up.
-
- Hair Attack :
- No, it's not a weapon. From the start, Sasuke can do this attack by holding
- down B, then pressing Z. Good for atacking enemies that are above you . Also,
- if you are lying down on the ground and do this, you will attack forward.
-
- Kunai of Severe Cold :
- One nifty weapon. Found in Festival Temple Castle. It freezes enemies and some
- hot floors. But the effect is only temporary. Great for long distance attacks.
- Everytime you use this weapon, it costs 1 Ryo. If you charge it up, it will
- fire the Kunai Intense Hail Beam which fires 3 shots of the freezing sword.
- That costs 3 Ryo.
-
- Magic Power - Super Jump :
- Using the Super Jump allows Sasuke to get to high places you could not access
- by jumping regularly. It's good for dodging incoming attacks, too.
-
- Yae
- A secret ninja agent who investigates the toughest cases of all, Yae is
- like an older sister to Goemon and co.
-
- Where Found - Zazen Town
-
- Weapons -
- *Katana :
- Yae starts out with this Japanese blade. Once upgraded to Level 2, she can
- "create" a shield from the sword by holding down B.
-
- Koryuta's Flute :
- You get this special flute from Koryuta, once you have destroyed the Mind-
- Control Robot when he was in dragon
- form. This flute allows to you visit just about anywhere you've been. You can
- use it in some buildings, wonder why it said you can't. I used in the Yamato
- Shrine and one cave and it still worked.
-
- Yae Bazooka :
- You get this bazooka from Gourmet Submarine Castle. Probably the best long
- distance attacking weapon. When fired, it uses 1 Ryo. Charge it up, it will do
- a "lock-on" attack. When that is fired, any enemy in a
- target will usually be hit. That costs 3 Ryo.
-
- Magic Power - Mermaid :
- While on top of the water, using this will turn Yae into a mermaid. You are
- now able to swim under the water to reach items like a Fortune Doll and other
- things.
-
- Goemon Impact
- A gigantic robot who is an invaluable ally to Goemon and his pals.
- Already a successful dancer, Impact has now set his heart on becoming a
- movie star.
-
- Where Found - Call him with the Triton Shell from Wise Man's House.

-
- 3) Bosses/Impact Bosses
-
- Here, I'll tell you about the bosses and how to beat them. Here is a neat
- trick for the Impact Bosses, when you fire the Laser Beam, you won't be
- harmed. Not any kind of attack will harm you!
-
- Boss #1- Congo : The King Robot
- The easy way to beat the giant head is stand under his chin. Keep attacking
- the front because that is the only spot he is vunerable. When there is
- an explosion, chunks of his head will be destroyed. Be careful though,
- when the explosive comes, he fire a beam that I call "Glitter Beam".
- If you stand in front when he explodes, chances are you will get hit by the
- beam.
-
- Impact Boss #1- Kashiwagi : The Wartime Kabuki Robot
- Here is when you need to know the manevers for Impact. I hook him with the
- Chain Pipe and punch him when I drag him in, a lot. Don't do the same
- moves over and over because he will predict what you will do and block
- it. Here is my little combo I do that does about 520 points of damage
- : Drag him in with the Chain Pipe, knock him on the ground, then while he is
- on the ground, fire the Impact Laser. It will still hit him even
- though he is on the ground. His special attack is making a copy of himself.
- The copy will attack you, but the real one won't.
-
- Boss #2- Mind-Control Robot
- Not really a boss, but it kinda is. You can only attack him when he isn't
- spinning. When he isn't attack him with Ryo. I'd rather use Ryo
- because I might fall off the dragon. I found a strange glitch here. When I
- was hit by him, Goemon appear the whole way to the right off the dragon.
- So then I had to go back to the robot. When this guy spins, he fires those
- metal balls at you at a decent speed.
-
- Boss #3- Dharmanyo : The Surrender Robot
- That name doesn't fit this easy robot. He should be the one surrendering.
- Anyway, use the Windup Camera to reveal his weakpoint. Then when he is
- "clear", fire the Medal of Flames at the spot. Keep repeating until he
- is dead. He will fire bombs at you, but keep on running at full speed to avoid
- them.
-
- Boss #4- Tsurami : The Ghost Robot
- One of more harder bosses. Just keep hitting him with the so-called "red
- plates". He has 3 attack methods, here they are :
- #1 : Easy. Throws plates at a medium rate.
- #2 : He throws plates at a much faster rate.
- #3 : HARD!!! He throws plates in all directions, but when they hit the ground
- they explode.
- You need to hit 4 times in each form of attack.
-
- Impact Boss #2 - Thaisamba 2 : The Charming Mermaid
- Now this battle takes place on the water. Not that much different from the
- another boss. The special attack is a "tornado" of water. You view from the
- cockpit is blurry. She will hit you with those exploding balls again. Then she
- will pop up and hit you with her eyeball (at least, that's what it looks
- like). Once the mermaid has her energy level close to 1,000 the battle will go
- underwater. Then she will charge at full speed at you, just do a fierce punch
- on her and it will knock her on the oceanfloor. =) Then she has a "fake"
- attack. She will charge you from one direction, but at the last second she
- will move into another direction. Then she will attack you. The good thing for
- this boss is that she can't block your attacks, so you can do the same moves
- over and over.
-
- Impact Boss #3 - Balberra : The Great Peach Mountain Battleship
- The only boss you can't drag in and punch. Destroy the guns, leaves and all of
- the little things on the ship. The Peach Fighters will try to shoot you, but
- you know how to take "care" of them. When the battleship opens, it reveals its
- "core". Shoot that core to damage it. It only opens when you destroy the Peach
- Fighters. Every hit with a Nasal Bullet does 5 points damage. A hit from the
- Chain Pipe will do 20 points damage.
-
- Impact Boss #4 - D 'Etoile : The Fairy of Love and Dreams
- The hardest Impact Boss in the game! One of his best attacks is what I call
- the Roller Attack. If you get hit, it does about 50 points damage. This attack
- is almost unavoidable! He spins around and fires those explosive balls at you.
- Then he has his asteroid attack. Easy to avoid. Use the fierce punch on each
- asteroid to blow it up. If you use quick punch, you won't be able to destroy
- it in time. When he fires the explosive balls at you he fires them at two
- speeds. #1 : He shoots them one at a time. #2 : This one he spins to one side.
- While going to the other side, there will be a bunch of balls coming at you.
- Shoot them with the bullets instead of punching.
