Inroduction =============== I think AA(aqua aqua) is an awesome game. The meaning of the game is to collect as much water on a platform as possible without letting water slip of the edge. You get certained landblocks(Tetrislike) to create deep craters and trap more water. If you don't get the meaning of the game, there's the training-mode that explains everything in the game. Soon you'll be duilding lakes like you were born to do it. This guide is mainly about a certained strategy to complete levels. Some levels or modes require other startegy's. I only have quikpuzzle-mode available -------------------------------------- Simply complete all the lessons in the training-mode and you'll unlock the story-mode and the vs-mode. 2. Controls ============ Menu controls -------------- X = confirm a selection Triangle = cancels a selection left/right = selcect/adjust up/down = select Ingame controls ---------------- X = drops the block faster Square = turns block Start = pauses the game L1(hold) = change view R1 = zoom in on your land R2 = change camera view Tube: right of your screen, when it's full it's game over. Next block: it's shown at the upper-right of the screen Bingo card: if you evaporate a lake an item will drop down. Your aqua aqua will colect it. Your're bingo card looks like this: [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] If you evaporate a lake at the upper-right corner you'll get a bingo item that will be collected and kicked at upper-right corner(get it?). So try to make a bingo line by dropping a fireball on the right possition. Below are the bingo effects. ------- Blocks ------- There are a lot of different things that drop down so here they are. Uppers ------- Pieces that raise your land or repair holes. Downers -------- Removes pieces of land or makes a hole bigger. Note: use these to avoid an earthquake Waterbubbles ------------- Drop these in your craters and you will have a lake. DON'T DROP THESE AT THE EDGE OF YOUR LAND or you will lose lots of water. Fireball --------- The fireball rox!! It evaporates a lake with water. When dropped on a high piece of land it will lower everything. Note: use these to score points Bombs ------ The bombs make an instant hole in your land. So..... DO NOT DROP THESE IN LAKES. Note: make sure you always have a piece of land left to drop bombs and unwanted pieces. Make a sort of bombsite. Ice cubes ---------- You can't control these(and you'll wish you could). Most of the time you'll get a warning when these drop. They freeze your lake and then you'll need 2 fireballs to get rid of the water or dig it all away with downers. Note: DON'T DROP A BOMB in a frozen lake cause it will work like a mine(see below). Try to raise a piece of land in your lake where the ice cube drops. Mines ------ These are a pain in the @$$. When a mine drops in your lake, DON'T EVAPORATE THE WATER. If you do the mine(s) will blow up causing lots of damage to your land and leave holes for your water to escape. Raindrops ---------- You can't control these. They fall randomly on your land and will leak of the edge(just like water). Note: Trap as much rain by building a big lake that covers a wide area. Lake mates ----------- These appear when you have a 2 wall-high lake with enough water in it. Note: these give you extra points Rainbow -------- When you have lots of water on your land you'll get a rainbow. Note: this gives you extra points Other things ------------- Levels: the higher your level, the more points you get for evaporating water. Scoreformula: Evporated water bonus or land repair bonus x(level + number of lakes +(number of lake mates x 2) x 10 if you have a rainbow) So for example I have evaporated water bonus of 3000, 6 lakes, 4 lake mates and a rainbow on level 6 my score is: 3000 x(6 + 6 +(4 x 2) x 10) = 600000 points IMPORTANT ---------------------------------------------------------- Just below the screen is an earthquake-meter. If it's full you'll get an earthquake destroying yor land. Use downers, fireballs and bombs to manage the land. ---------------------------------------------------------- Bingo-items ------------ [1 ][2 ][3 ][4 ] [5 ][6 ][7 ][8 ] [9 ][10][11][12] [13][14][15][16] 1= Appel 2= Feather 3= Heart 4= Binoculars 5= Beachball 6= Bone 7= Agenda 8= Scubagear 9= Burger 10= Pie 11= Camera 12= Hook 13= CD 14= Umbrella 15= Shell 16= Fruit Bingo-effects -------------- If I type 1,2,3,4 it means collect bingo-items 1,2,3,4 for the line. So in this case I mean the upper first horizontal line. Each bingo effect lasts for one minute. 1,2,3,4: Double Rainbow - increases scores by 20 5,6,7,8: Aurora - increases scores by 25 9,10,11,12: Power lake - increases scores by 30 13,14,15,16: Cloud - increases scores by 35 1,5,9,13: Bigger drain - drain gets 25% bigger 2,6,10,14: Bigger earth - your piece of land get 25% bigger 3,7,11,15: Timestop - time stops(for one minute) 4,8,12,16: Slow - Pieces fall slower Hint: just go for power lake or cloud, the rest is not useful. Double bingo-effects: make two lines at once for double bingo-effects 3. Story-mode ============== In the beginning there are four monsters on the planet. Then the creator wants to create water on the planet, using aqua aqua's to guard the water, cause the monsters disagree with the creator. The creator then gives each monster three chances to attack. If they fail to stop the aqua aqua's they will be banished. So it's you're task to guard the water. The story-mode has four levels and one secret level. To open up the secret level score 2.000.000 points on al of the other levels. You guard the water by just playing on a piece of land, then after while you'll get a warning there's a monster coming. You a minute to gain a certained amound of points. If you get it in time a shield will appear to stop the monsters attacks. If you didn't get to the limit, the monster will attack your land and destroy your lakes. Just so you don't get any surprises here are the point limits. ----------------------------------------- [level][1st attack][2nd attack][3rd attack] ----------------------------------------- [ 1 ][ 500 ][ 10.000 ][ 20.000 ] [ 2 ][ 600 ][ 20.000 ][ 40.000 ] [ 3 ][ 700 ][ 30.000 ][ 60.000 ] [ 4 ][ 800 ][ 40.000 ][ 80.000 ] [ 5 ][ 1.000 ][ 300.000 ][2.000.000 ] ------------------------------------------- Ranks ------ Drip = 0-100.000 points Cool = 100.000 - 500.000 points Champion = 500.000 - 1.000.000 points King = 1.000.000 - 2.000.000 points Master = 2.000.000 or more points ------ Well let's get started, shall we. \\\\\\\\\\\\\ IMPORTANT \ --------------\ Basic startegy \ ============================================================================ Fisrt use your uppers to build a big lake. Throw unwanted pieces in a corner to create a bomb-site. Once downers start to fall, use them to make your walls as thin as possible to avoid an earthquake later on. Another thing is to do this as fast as possible since you don't have that much time. Then when getting []-formed uppers, use them to create small lakes in corners. Place two on eachother and fill them with tiny waterblocks to create lake mates. Wait with evaporating water, unless you're losing water fast or going for 2.000.000 points. If you have no water and you get a fireball, dump it on your bomb-site. That goes the same for unwanted downers. When your bomb-site has lots of holes, repair it with an upper. Also make sure you still have space to make a bingo line, going for Cloud or Power lake off course. ============================================================================= READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS!!!!!!!! ============================================================================= Use the basic strategy at the start each level. Level 1 -------- Monster: Earth monster Attack: 4 earth balls that destroy your lakes. Surviving chance: medium 1st attack: 500 points Simply just evaporate one lake or repair some holes. 2nd attack : 10.000 points You should have some lake mates by now. Keep filling up your lake fast and evaporate it when you have a rainbow. If your water gets frozen, keep it that way. The damage done by the monster will only be to the walls of your lakes. If lots of your water is frozen it can't escape over the edge, giving you the chance to repair your walls. 3rd attack : 20.000 points By now you should have about 3 to 4 lake mates. Repair holes and be sure you get a rainbow before getting evaporating your biggest lake. If your lake gets frozen use a fireball and hope for another one. When going for 2.000.000 points: Be fast and have about 6 lake mates. Create a small bombsite and get lots of bingo's(cloud off course). Whenever you have a fireball evaporate. If you have trouble with ice-cubes, raise a small piece of land where the cube is about to fall. If you have a rough start, pause and restart. level 2 -------- Monster: Vulcano monster Attack: 4 comets that destroy your lakes Surviving chance: medium 1st attack: 600 Repair some holes or evaporate a lake. 2nd attack: 20.000 Have about 3 lake mates and be sure to get a rainbow before evaporate your lake. When it gets frozen raise a piece of land or fireball it. 3rd attack: 40.000 You should have about 4 lake mates. Get the cloud bingo-effect or a rainbow and evaporate. After that evaporate again. If your water gets frozen, good keep it that way. Repair your walls and keep it up, cause the end is in sight. When going for 2.000.000 points: Be fast and have about 6 lake mates. Create a small bombsite and get lots of bingo's(cloud off course). Whenever you have a fireball evaporate. If you have trouble with ice-cubes, raise a small piece of land where the cube is about to fall. If you have a rough start, pause and restart. Level 3 -------- Monster: Blizzard bigfoot Attack: uses ice breath Surviving chance: high 1st attack: 700 Repair some holes or evaporate a lake. 2nd attack: 30.000 It doesn't matter if the attack hits you or not cause it freezes everything. Build up your walls after that and melt the water. 3rd attack: 60.000 If lot of your water and land gets frozen, repair the land and let the water stay for as long as possible to get to the end of the level. When melts evaporate it. When going for 2.000.000 points: Have 5 lake mates and let the monster attack freeze you sometime. Use a fireball to melt land as well as water to get a big lake. Evaporate it for more points. Be fast and use a small bomb-site. Level 4 -------- Monster: Fire dragon Attack: uses his fire breath to destroy walls Surviving chance: medium 1st attack: 800 Repair some holes or evaporate a lake, but do it fast. 2nd attack: 40.000 You should have about 4 lake mates. Get the cloud bingo-effect or a rainbow and evaporate. After that evaporate again. If your water gets frozen, good keep it that way. Repair your walls and keep it up. If your lucky he'll even evaporate water for you 3rd attack: 80.000 Drop blocks very fast and hope that his attack will evaporate water for you. If your water gets frozen just before the attack begins melt it fast. Make small lakes and keep evaporating water like a mad. When going for 2.000.000 points: Be fast and get lots of bingolines. Have 6 lake mates and a rainbow before you evaporate. If you have cloudstatus drop blocks like a mad on your bomb-site and go for a fireball to get extra points. CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE COMPLETED STORY-MODE AND YOU HAVE DESERVED A LAME ENDING MOVIE!!! Then now for the experts. Level 5 -------- Monster: ????(you don't get to see him/her/it) Attack: very frustrating and big meteor storm that totally destroys everything Surviving chance: very small(might as well be none) 1st attack: 1.000 Have 1 or 2 lake mates and evaporate your lakes. Repair some holes too. 2nd attack: 300.000(what the???) Be fast and have about 5 lake mates. Get the rainbow before you evaporate a lake. Every point counts here. If you think that you can't make it, evaporate all your water(if you can). A bingoline(cloud, powerlake) could be very useful now. 3rd attack: 2.000.000(AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!) Now this is some serious score. Have 7 lake mates and a 2-wall high big lake. Get a rainbow and cloudstatus. If evaporate about three lakes this way your almost there. Just drop nblocks like a mad and fill up those lakes fast. If your very lucky you'll survive the attack and can end the level shortly after that. So you got every level on master rank. Good for you, but your scores caneasily be bigger, cause here comes the quikpuzzle-mode. 4.Quikpuzzle-mode ================ The quickpuzzle-mode rules!! It offers lots of fun and you can go on to infinity. There are no monster attacks. \\\\\\\\\\ Strategy1 \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FAST WAY TO GET A HIGHSCORE Build a big lake and build lots of small lakes to create lake mates. Fill up the lakes and have a small bomb-site. If your bomb-site has about 4 holes repair it. Keep your big lake at the leftside of the land, so you can get a cloud bingo-effect. Fill up those lakes like a mad and evaporate your big lake when you have a rainbow or cloudstatus. Keep it up and raise land in your big lake when an ice-cube drops down in to it. If an ice-cube falls into one of your small lakes, don't raise any land, but simply melt it with a fireball. Use downers to make your walls as thin as you can or to lower walls inside your big lake. Then on level 5 suddenly mines start to drop. When a mine drops in a big lake, simply wait till they disappear and then drop the fireball. If they won't disappear, evaporater another lake. Good luck on the further levels cause blocks will keep dropping faster. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \\\\\\\\\\ Strategy2 \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SLOW WAY TO GET A HIGHSCORE Create one big lake and have a large bomb-site. Make the lake 2-walls high and fill it up. Evaporate it when you have a rainbow. Drop anything else on the bomb-site except for waterbubbles and fireballs(when you have a rainbow). Raise a piece of land when you spot an ice-cube and get the cloud bingo-effect a lot. Use downers to flatten walls inside your lake. When mines start to drop, wait until they disappear still dropping all waterbubbles in the lake. That's also why it has to be 2 or 3 walls high. When you have a fireball and there are no mines, evaporate the lake. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.VS-mode ========== It's great fun when playing agianst a friend. You'll be playing this for months or maybe years. It's way past cool. The bingocard has been replaced by this card. [][][] [][][] [][][] You'll play of noughts and crosses against eachother(on the bingo card) The first one that get's three in a row will launch a random attack on the opponent. Theses are the attacks. Upper attack - rains mini uppers on your opponent's landscape Downer attack - rains mini downers on your opponent's landscape Fireball attack - rains fireballs on your opponents landscape Water attack - rains water on your opponent's landscape Ice attack - rains ice-cubes on your opponent's landscape Bomb attack - Launches a bomb that falls in a random spot on your opponent's landscape So here we go. \\\\\\\\\ Strategy \ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create one big lake and be sure to set your cross in the middle as the first. Concentrate on getting a bingoline. Well that's about all I can say. Keep an eye on your opponent's drain and hope (s)he plays worse than you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Tips and secrets ==================== Tips ----- -if you have a leak and can't see it press and r1 or l1 to change your view. -still can't locate the leak? Look through your aqua aqua's eyes by pressing r2. -make your walls as thin as possible, to avoid an earthquake. -make your bomb-site a bit large, it's better to make it to big than to small. -drop blocks fast and score more points -if your almost getting an earthquake, let lakes fuse with a downer. Secrets -------- Vs-mode and story-mode become available after you complete training-mode. Score 2.000.000 points on every stage in story-mode to unlock the fifth stage. 7.Credits ========== Thanx to: Myself, FFrulez a.k.a. optimus9(capcom board) E-mail: optimus9@dolfijn.nl Gamefaqs for posting this Walkthrough.
