Hi! Yakuza here! Excuse me for all the grammar errors (I'm sure there are
some), but I hope you will forgive that. (I hope they are not so many now,
since I updated it.) Mr gimmick is a game that of course you are the hero,
a green toy actually! You got any comments, problems, questions, anything
just send me a mail at:
Lufia3@hotmail.com
It's a very nice game for maybe people that is younger(like kids). The game
is very easy and probably it is directed for younger people. For example, I
can kill all the bosses and run through the whole game(not the special,
magic items included) in 13 minutes Anyway, enjoy my faq if you like it!!

Last time I updated the document, the changes are these:
+ I put credits on top and on bottom.
+ I formatted the faq in another way(tried to give it a better look).
+ Tried to check some spelling/grammar errors. Hopefully some will be gone.
+ Added some extra text where needed.
+ Some small changes you won't notice, like deleting unneccessary lines
etc.
+ Extended the enemy list some, I made a list over all enemies in the game,
added more information about them, etc.
+ And I tried to make it better overall.

A: History
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"At the same time when the candles at Mary's birthday-cake were lit, her
dad carefully pushes a present on the table that he bought a few days from
an old antic store. Mary's dad passed by the shop one day, and felt sorry
for the owner that never had any costumers, so he bought a thing there. The
old man said it was very, very old. Mary's father felt sorry for the old
man and bought it, don't knowing what the toy really was. Mary's dad had
just bought a magic item with mystic forces called a "Gimmick". Mary was
very happy when she opened the present and she was so happy for the
present, that she played with it all the day. But when Mary went to bed
then something weird happened that evening. Her other toys suddenly were
alive. They were very angry because she didn't play with them any longer.
They crawled up to her bed and carried her away to a mystic land. But the
present, Mr "Gimmick" followed the other toys to save the girl. He jumped
quickly after them to the unknown land before the window closed. Now, Mr
gimmick armed only with his magic stars, will try to save Mary from the
evil forces in the enchanted country."

D: Walkthrough
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
This walktrough guides you through the first ending, that ending when you
didn't take all the special items. But then, after it, I spin on from where
it ends, and tells you ´bout the last "secret" stage.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Level 1: Underground station
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Just go on to right, you'll meet some enemies, and at the right wing, you
will see a hole that leads down. If you wanna have the "hard" ending, check
special magic items section. If not, jump into it. Now you are underground.
Go left, behind the machine that shoots balls. Go down again. Take the
fireball item. Go Left. Now you are in a room where you can see fishes swim
around outside. There are no enemies here, so just cool out and go right.
Now you will come to a room with a crane.
Go on it, and wait until it has gone to half the screen, then jump off
quickly, or it will drop you down on the needles, and you'll be dead then.
Go up. You see an enemy coming, shoot it with your star, then keep going
left.
Up. Jump from shelf to shelf to get the orange bottle. The enemy that
comes, kill it or jump down to the last room. Go up. You will now come to
the surface again. Here you'll see two blocks with stars on.
Use the star-trick to come up and take the bomb. Go left. You see some
enemies that have some electric energy and you can't kick them? Just hop up
on one of them, and stand on their heads, then shoot them.
Go left. Jump from shelf to shelf. Go left. Boss time! Kill it. It can take
two hits, then one more, and it is a goner. You got problems, see boss
section.
"""""""""""""""""""
Level 2: The ship
"""""""""""""""""""
You'll meet enemies that got needles on their back. Shoot a star. They will
fall on the back. Shoot again. Go left. Walk on the boat. Beware off the
open windows on the boat, balls will appear! Evade them.
Jump off the boat. Now there are two ways. To the right, I don't know what
it is there, seems to me like nothing. If you know something, please mail
me! Walk left and up. Here you see a rear that leads you down.
There are three ways here. You can use the super-short cut by taking the
star, load it, and shoot against the wall. Time it. Stand on the star as
long as you can, moving right as much as you can, then jump to the right
over to the room, next to the boss. Cool huh? You can use the star-trick
here to jump over the rear, but down in the rear, there is a orange bottle,
so I suggest you take the rear-way. Go left after you've taken it.
Go up. Now a green, fat, cute monster will attack you. Jump up on it, and
you can stand on it, and shoot. But I warn you, he will run to left and
fall careless down in the water with you, so jump off it when he is near
the edge. You see a canon shoot balls to the left. You wanna have the
special magic items?
Check special magic item section. Or else, just walk on up. Go left. A
chopter will attack you.
Kick it. Go on. Now, you will see a bird stand there. Shoot a star to
discipline it, and you can jump on it, to get over. Take the orange bottle.
Go right. Boss time. You got any problems, check boss section.
An advice: If you got two bombs, and only two bombs, bomb his sword after
you defeated him. It dies when you hit him 5 times. You will get points.
You need the other bomb for level 3. (If you wanna have the special magic
item.)
""""""""""""""""""""
Level 3: The forest
""""""""""""""""""""
Go right. Some strange enemies will fall down. Go on. Watch out for the
stones that are falling down. Go right. Jump over. Many enemies will hunt
you. Forget about them. Just keep going right. They won't catch ya. Then,
on safe floor, kill them. Now you will see some kind of big spider in a
hole.
You wanna have the special magic Item??? Check you know what. Otherwise, go
on up. Take the orange bottle. Go left. Jump over and go to next room.
Watch out, the ceiling will fall down a bit. Jump from the shelf, to the
arrow shooter. Push it against the wall. It will fall down on the needles,
you'll get points. Jump up on the green button. Stand still. It will run
off, without you getting harm. Go left. See a big monster? Jump up on it.
Shoot and take the orange bottle that will fall out, when you kicked him.
Go down. Watch out for the machine cats, or whatever it is. They can draw
you in the water, so be careful. Shoot stars to kill them, or avoid them,
your choice. Go right. You see the room ends. Boss Time! Three hits, he is
dead.Got some troubles? Check boss section.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Level 4: Jurrasic Park
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I call it Jurassic Park, because it looks like one. It has all the animals
needed, so what?
First, go right. Shoot a star at the monster so it will escort you over the
water. If you need some bombs, jump up on a pteranodon,(looks like one) and
jump on the palm. A bomb will fall out. Do again if you need bombs very
much. Go right. Here comes enemies, run away or kill them. Just check you
got your energy ok, 'cause it will be tough now.
Jump up and watch out for the arrow-shooters. Kill them fast. Go up. An
arrow will come towards you.
Jump over it. Kill the arrow shooters. Go left. Kill. Go up. Here will a
small narrow be located.
It will also be tree-poles with needles going up and down. Go through it, a
machine with sharp needles will come after you, so you better hurry up,
there's no time to wait! Go up. Jump to the shelf at right.
Take the orange bottle. Go on to the left. A lot of crazy, hungry dudes
will hunt you down, if you don't kill them, or run away. I prefer running
away, and wait for a tall pillar from where you can shoot them down.
Go left. Watch your energy. You'll meet a mini-boss. You got trouble? You
know what to do! Go on down. If you want the special magic item, check you
know what. Or else, go down. Then go left. Jump up on the pillars, and jump
up. Boss action!
He dies after 5 hits. Got any trouble, problems? That's cool. Just check
"boss section."
"""""""""""""""""""""
Level 5: The mines
"""""""""""""""""""""
Here, in the beginning, there are some things to do if you wanna have the
special magic item.
If you have some patience, and wanna earn lives, (always good to have) see
"special magic item" section.
Or else, just jump from the machine you stand on, to safe floor. Go right.
Jump on the frogs. Or kill them. Your choice. Ride the machine and jump off
it. Keep going right. Go down in the rear. Ride the machine. Here comes an
enemy with one other machine, but he can shoot! Jump off, and shoot stars
at it. If you just hit the driver, the machine will remain.
Then you can drive the machine and you can too shoot, if you press B-
button. Nothing really cool, but you can do it. Ride whatever machine you
got, until you will fall in the water. Jump off the machine to the floor.
Go left. If you want the magic special item, check "special magic
item"section.
Here it will be enemies, and running steps, so just keep going right.
Take the orange bottle. You will end up in a room with creatures beneath
you. Then you know it is boss time.
This boss is the hardest boss in the game(I think) so you get problems,
check "boss section."
""""""""""""""""""""""
Level 6: The castle
""""""""""""""""""""""
I think this level is the largest stage.
Now you are outside the castle, on ice. Go right. You'll meet a cat and his
buddy. Watch out for the cat, it can push you down in the water. Go on to
the right.
Now, you see two statues. They will be alive and attack you. See enemies if
you got any problems. Go right after killing them. Then, you'll meet a guy
that shoots arrows. Kill him and go on. Go up.
Kill the arrow-shooters. Go on. Take the orange bottle and then bounce on.
Go left. Then go up. Just keep going until you comes to a room with nothing
in. There's a rear going down, and a rear at the right upper corner. Here,
check "special magic item" section if you want the special item.
If not, go down. Here, you'll see moving pillars. Jump on them, and go on
right. If you see any weopons, life drinks, or something, pick it up, you
gonna need them.
Soon, you'll meet a small boss. Kill it. See you know what if you got any
problems. Go on up.
You will meet his brotha upstairs. Kill him too. You got problems? You know
what to do. Go on.
Here, I hope you buckled up with weopons like bombs, or some healing
potions. U will need 'em.
Go on to right. Here, you'll meet the small ghosts father, and he's big and
bad! Kill him using your items. You got any problems, call GHOSTBUSTERS!
(check "boss" section.)
Here, the game ends if you didn't take the special magic item.
Congratulations! You get the first(or second) ending.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Walkthrough: Last stage(secret stage)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
This is the ultimate last stage. You can only achieve this one if you took
all the special magic items.
Go on right. Just keep going until you meet strange creatures.Go on. Take
the orange bottle. You can't kill the cats, but scare them away by shooting
a star at them.
After a while, you will see a big fountain in the background. Boss time!
Kill him, and you will get the second(happy) ending!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
E: Special Items
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are some secret special items in this game. If you take each one of
them, at every stage, you will get a last secret stage, and there you will
meet the real, last boss and catch a new ending!
You don't have to do this to go on.I recommend you that has done everything
in this game and think it's so easy, do this. Then you have at least
something to do!!There is always one special Item at every stage.
Alright, here's some information and help to get all the special Items:
Important things:
You have to get the item at the stage first, before you kill the boss and
the level is cleared, otherwise you can't get to the last level because you
can't go back to the stages and ten you can't grab the Item. When you found
the magic special item at the level, a enemy with RED flagg will appear. If
you didn't found it, it will be a enemy with a white flagg. I suggest you
then, if you really wanna find the item, you start over again, cuz you
can't get it that time!
*******************************
Level 1: The magic flower
*******************************
You start this level upon a surface and you go down in a sewer at the right
wing at the start.
There you see a shelf at the right wall. Use the star for get to unknown
heights.
Load a star, jump, and in the exactly moment, release it. Now you will be
standing at the star if you timed it right. Then jump from the star to the
shelf, and from there, jump up to the sky. From there, go left.
You will see a new shelf and keep jumping, and continue jump from
plattforms to platforms until you see the enchanted flower. When you take
it, points will role in and lives also.
Relax now, you've taken the magic special item on this stage!
*********************************
Level 2:The enchanted sandglas
*********************************
Here, at level 2, U are on a ship. Go up and where you meet a green, fat
monster, there is a big canon.
Kill the monster. Then push the canon until it falls down on the shelf.
From there, it continues to shoot.
What can it be used for? Well, step up on the canon, time it, and step on
the ball. If you are lucky, or you timed it right, you'll be standing on
the ball right now.
Let the ball escort you to an another shelf at the left wing, then jump
off. Here, go up in the rear, and you'll see the enchanted sandglas! This
will maybe take a while to learn the timing to get on the bullet, but it's
worth it. Just keep trying. When you got it, you have the item in your
hands.
****************************
Level 3:The glowing ball
****************************
Here, at level 3, you are in a big forest. I hope you have a BOMB, or else
you CANNOT take the special magic item on this stage!!!!
Go right until you meet the big spider. Simply pick up a bomb, throw at the
spider, go down in the hole. Here, take the glowing ball. Easy, huh!
*********************************
Level 4:The fantastic Sword
*********************************
At level 4, you are in a Jurassic Park(at least what I call it). Don't
worry for now, the fantastic sword is on the end of the stage. Go on until
you are at a room with nothing in.
You have gone through the canibals, the fires, and you are there, in the
room before you fall down and coming to the boss. There is nothing in the
room. Use the amazing star-trick against the wall, so you can ride it, and
come up to the shelf, at the right upper corner. If you fail, you'll fall
down and miss it, so be careful.
Now, you will here that familiar music. Use the star-trick again to get to
the stones in the air. Then, jump from stone to stone.
Continue. You'll reach the fantastic sword. This magic special item is the
hardest to take in the game, I say. Practice hard, and you'll achieve it.
**********************************
Level 5: The incredible tea-pot
**********************************
Here, there are some things to do. Read carefully this: YOU NEED TO PUSH A
CONTROL IN THE BEGINNING, TO OPEN A HIDDEN ROOM. In the beginning, trick
the guard to shoot a rocket on you.
Avoid it by jumping from shelf to shelf, then go down in the next room.
Don't care about the frog. Now, the guard should be gone, and you can
smoothly jump into the hole, where he stood first.
I mean, jump from your shelf at the air, to next room in the hole. Go on to
right. Now, you'll se three rockets. Bomb them if you got a bomb, loads of
points will role in.But that's not the big point. Push the control at the
right corner. Now, you hear a rrrr-sound.
Now, go on the whole stage, a long way, until you come to the room with
running-band.
Here, you will now see a black hole in the ground, the hidden room. Jump
into it. Here, if you wanna earn lives, go left. Take as many of the bomb
as you can. Then push the two other items together, and they will become an
another item, a life. Take it, then kill you. Now, go left, and pair the
items to lives.
Take them, go kill you again. Repeat this until you think you got enough
lives.
Go right to take the magic special item. You got to jump from shelves to
shelves, from running-bands to running bands until you see the incredible
tea-pot. Use the famous star-trick to get up to the tea-pot.
Take it, and then have some service, why don't you step at the transporter?
It will transport you back, all the way. Sit back, relax, you will be
moving over all the dangerous gaps without lifting a finger. Nice man!
*******************************
Level 6: The terrific mirror
*******************************
Last magic special item. Go on the stage, until you come to an empty room.
There's a rear going down at left corner, and a rear going up at the left
upper corner.
Use the fabulous star-trick to get to the rear. Go up. Then you see a
pillar. Jump up on it with your hop-board. Then, now, use the super-trick
again. Shoot the star at right, and wait for it to come up.
Stand on it, then jump left into the next room. This is a quite tough skill
for newcomers, so practice hard.Jump from platform to platform to get the
terrific mirror. If you played the game successfull now, you will have all
the six special magic items. After you kill the ghostfather a new, last
stage will appear!!!

it bounces up at him. Bomb his sabre when he's dead, if you have two bombs.
You need the second bomb in level 3. Don't shoot stars at his sabre, he
will cut the stars like butter.
--------------------------
Level 3: The sea-monster
--------------------------
A big monster, carrying a shell. He will shoot some lighting balls at you.
Shoot him with a star, when you see a purple small glow above his head.
Then, you can hit him. Three hits. Quite easy.
-------------------
Level 4:The bird
-------------------
This guy is hard. Shoot stars at him. Force him back by going toward him.
Then, he will jump against you. Shoot a star then. Five hits until he is
dead.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Level 5: Two bosses: The blob-machine and the spider-robot
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hard boss. Buckle up with items like bombs, life-potions, fireballs. First
boss is quite easy. Jump and shoot a star in the ground, so it bounces up
at him. Five hits. He will flee. Then, next boss will appear. Shoot him
while he walks in. Then, he starts to shoots rockets. Trick the rockets by
jumping over them or something, then shoot a star at the spider-robot.
Now, he starts shooting purple bullets. Just stand back and wait for them
to disappear. But don't get passive! Then he starts walking to you, and you
will get less space! Wait for him to stop shooting purple bullets, then
shoot stars at him. Trick the rockets, and shoot stars until he's dead.
If you got any problems, use your items. A bomb is double as strong as a
star. You hit him with a bomb, he dies double as much as with a star. You
kill him, then the level is over. You see the blob-machine falling down.
Hard boss, one of the hardest. Grey coulor.
---------------------------
Level 6:The ghostfather
---------------------------
Hard boss. Shoots bubbles, ice needles, and purple energy materia. Shoot
him with stars that bounces at ground and will hit him, while he is most
down as he can get. Use your items. He will attack you when you are caugh
in a bubble. Five hits and he's dead.
-------------------------------------
Level 7: Secret stage: Darth Vader
-------------------------------------
First, he appears in a black coat. Jump over his barrier that he shoots at
you. Shoot stars until he dies. Then, you can see his real form. He has a
laser-sword and shoots bombs. Jump and try to shoot the star in the ground,
so it hits him. Five hits, and you saved the day! Hard boss. Can be hard to
hit.

1. Use your star often. With it you can reach higher heights than you
thought.
2. Some enemies, like the big, grey,cute enemy at level 3 underground where
a lot of stones is falling down, can U stand on, instead of running from
it. He can't hit you, but you can! Just stand on the enemy and shoot
until he can't take it!
3. Take items as much as you can. They will recover or help you kill
enemies(like the bomb or fireball)
4.Take as much points as you can, you earn lives of it.
5. Shoot some animals so they help you. Example: the bird at level 2. If
you shoot it, it will help you cross gaps.

I: Endings
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
There actually are two endings in this game. Íf you played the fenomenal
game "Chrono Trigger"(one of the best RPG-games ever what I think. I love
it, ok Final Fantasy 8 is quite cool also, but Chrono trigger is very good)
there you can have several endings, maybe 12, or something, you think two
endings is too less, but if you think about it, how many NES-games do have
several endings? Not many. So, here they are:
Ending one:
Forget about all the special magic items and just play on. Kill the last
boss(ghostfather) with at least one special magic item not taken, you will
get the unhappy ending. (I won't tell ya the ending, for then I'm ruining
your fun.)
Ending two: Take all the special magic items and kill the last boss(the
lasersword man, I can him Darth Vader now in star-wars times) and you will
get the happy ending.

First of all, this faq will not be extremly used over the world, this is a
seven year old game, so many people doesn't play it. I say U can use it on
your home pages if ya want, copy it, or whatever. Just don't rip off this
faq, don't change anything in it, and don't plagiarize it. (Don't write it
out in too many copies, our earth have suffered enough anyway.) Have fun!
That's what life is for!

###########################################################################
Review was made: 2000-08-13
Yakuza's review to the NES-game Mr.Gimmick. The game is made by a quite
unknown company, Sunsoft, in 1992. When it was released, Mr.Gimmick was not
hyped or famous in any way, and I guess it the reasons were not enough to
have it been that. By the time in 1992, the Super Nes was out and then took
most of the players' attention. Who cared about the old consoles when a new
"super" console like that was released? There were many other games to buy
and play(for example Street Fighter 2, etc.) If M.G. would have been
released a few years earlier(before the Super NES entrance) I guess it
would have been more hyped but oh well, I guess M.G. is not the world's
most infuential game. Mr.Gimmick would easiest be described by saying it's
an avarage platform game with decent graphics(being a famicom game), easy
and charming story. For further details and knowledges, you should read on
to get the full info...
the catagories
¤Story:¤
"At the same time when the candles at Mary's birthday-cake were lit, her
dad carefully pushes a present on the table that he bought a few days from
an old antic store. Mary's dad passed by the shop one day, and felt sorry
for the owner that never had any costumers, so he bought a thing there. The
old man said it was very, very old. Mary's father felt sorry for the old
man and bought it, don't knowing what the toy really was. Mary's dad had
just bought a magic item with mystic forces called a "Gimmick". Mary was
very happy when she opened the present and she was so happy for the
present, that she played with it all the day. But when Mary went to bed
then something weird happened that evening. Her other toys suddenly were
alive. They were very angry because she didn't play with them any longer.
They crawled up to her bed and carried her away to a mystic land. But the
present, Mr "Gimmick" followed the other toys to save the girl. He jumped
quickly after them to the unknown land before the window closed. Now, Mr
gimmick armed only with his magic stars, will try to save Mary from the
evil forces in the enchanted country."
Sweet, and I guess Sunsoft made the story for younger children. I'd say
it's okay, you won't come up with another story for a game like this.
Score storyline: 7.5/10
©Graphics:©
Graphic is actually quite good to be on Nes. Being a game made 1992, the
producers had learned how to use the console ultimately to create good
graphics and I'd say this is almost the best what the NES can come up with.
The colors are nice, fitting and decent. The backgrounds look pretty okay
too, but nothing exceptional. Enemies are good looking and designed, and
the special effects are quite well done(the few of them that's existing).
The bosses are big and though a little impressive being a 8 year old
game(for the 8 m.b. console). Graphics is maybe one of M.G.'s strenghts
among all the catagories, but unfortunately the graphics are not really
that appriciated because who cares about fine graphics for the NES anyway?
Oh well.
Score graphics: 8.6/10
^Music/Sound:^
Music is quite good too, even if it's not maybe the kind of music you
listen to usually on your stereo. But it's fitting to the game and is glad
and happy. You won't get sad listening to it. Even if it's quite good, it
doesn't heighten the total score much. Sound is also okay, but I'd say the
music is better than the noises you'll hear. Oh well, there is not much to
say about it, it's okay...
Score music/sound: 8.1/10
@Control:@
You can use bombs, fireballs, health and the star as weopons. The bombs and
fireballs are special weopons you might find along the game and there is
not anything to say about them, just that they're used for some moments.
The other weopon, the star, I'd say is the most innovative in M.G. It's a
weopon you can use to defeat enemies, but also you can use it as a platform
or pillar to stand on. By using it, you can jump from lower places to other
heights. So actually the star has two abilities. Quite unique! Your
shooting star(the weopon) is easily controlled, and the special items is
also easy to control. Otherwise it's the same routines as ever in all 2D
games, you go from left to right etc. The hero/main character can jump but
not use much more techniques. The controls are okay, a little + for the
star. Just above avarage.
Score Control: 7.8/10
£Challenge:£
Right to it: Mr.Gimmick is a very easy game. For example, I can beat the
game in 16 minutes(without secret items) all from the start to the end. I
think sunsoft chose to sell the game to young kids and that's why they made
it easy. No player can have trouble beating it, the enemies and bosses are
very easy to beat and there are no puzzles or obstacles that are difficult
to overcome. The only thing you need to figure some about is where all the
special magic items are located. Finding them are a bit harder than the
rest, and when you found them, something will happen(I won't tell you what,
spoiler). Easy, short and just fun.
Challenge score: 2.4/10
}Gameplay:{
The game is worth about 5$ but buying it for more would be too much. I
guess you'd want to save your money instead, if it costs more. It has no
scary sequences at all, and is really a game for young kids. There are some
secret items to find, that is a little harder to get
Score gameplay: 7.6/10
$Replay value:$
The secret items that are scattered at one at each stage, makes the game
live a little longer. But otherwise, this is no game you'll replay once a
day, what I mean is you'll be tired of it quite soon.
Replay score: 4.8/10
+Summary:+
Just another platform NES game, with a cute story and quite decent
graphics. Don't buy for more than 5$.
Overall score: 6.4/10
TOTAL SCORE: 6/10
One line synopsis(describing the game): Cute, easy, short and an avarage
platform game."
