2.About the author
This is actually my first FAQ although I have always used FAQs as a
guide for every game I play. This is because Poy Poy 2 is actually the
first game which I was addicted at.If there is any comments, suggestions
or problems please send them in to me at
yeehuichow@hotmail.com
3.Requirements
The requirements for this game are:
1-4 players (Multi Tap needed for more then two players)
1 Memory block for each different save
4.About the game
In general, Poy Poy 2 is a throwing and dodging game. There are a
variety of technique is either throwing or dodging making it hard to
master but easy to win. There is a few modes to choose from: (in order
from top to bottom)
-Party Play
-PoyPoy Cup
-Team Battle
-Game Explanation
-Options
Party Play
This is for playing the game where all the characters fight against each
other. This is recommended for beginners.
PoyPoy Cup
This is where the story come in. If you want to know the storyline, try
this mode. For now,
I will not write anything about the storyline cause I haven't completed
the story although I had became the king. You will have to buy your
glove according to your synchronization rate. The higher the rate to a
certain character, the more powerful he/she using the glove. That
differs from damage, time, range and hit rate. I'm not sure 'bout this
but it seems this applys to for Party Play and Team Battle.
Team Battle
For this mode, you can team up with you friend and play against the
computer's team(2 players).
Game Explanation
This is the tutorial for the game. All beginners should try this mode
before playing the game. Take your time during the practice cause you'll
need it.
Option
Here you can set the difficulty, the number of rounds and also change
the controls.
5.Characters
There not much to say about this except that every character has
different stats. It would be best to choose a character with acceptable
hp and high pyshic energy and speed. Pyshic energy is very important if
you use psyhic.At least this is what is found in my favourite character
"Kage". Different characters are good at using different kind of gloves.
For example, Apache is powerful using the fire gloves.
6.Battle Terrain
There are many different terrain in this game and each of the have
obstacles and special items. There will also be chests lying around in
every battle field containing good and bad stuff.The terrain are: (Words
in bracket is only valid for the "PoyPoy Cup")
-Grass (Preliminaries Stage1)
-Moai (Preliminaries Stage 2)
-Ice (Preliminaries Stage 3)
-Sand (Preliminaries Stage 4)
-Park (Preliminaries Stage 5)
-Shock (Main Event Stage 1)
-Blast (Main Event Stage 2)
-Warp (Main Event Stage 3)
-Sky Cube (Main Event Stage 4)
-Moon (Main Event Stage 5)
-Channel PoyPoy (Final Stage)
Grass
There are logs in this battle which could come in handy for the "Knife
Glove".
Moai
Try to go up to the higher platform and throw bombs from above. If the
enemy is right below you, use the "square" button to throw the bomb.
Ice
Be careful and move slowly cause it's very slippery here. Do not touch
the moves ice block cause you'll get knock down. Also, don't go near the
penguins. If you want to go up the slope fast, use the dash(square)
button.
Sand
Beware of the quicksand in the middle. If do get in accidentally, keep
tapping jump(triangle) and the direction button. Get catch of the enemy
and throw them into the quicksand.
Park
There is a big stone which can transform into a terrasour, a triceratops
or a T-Rex. There is also a small platform high above. But beware,
standing there will become the perfect target for the terrasour. The T-
Rex will catch you and bite while the triceratops will rams into you. It
is also quite dark in here.
Shock
The robot in the middle in the middle will shoot a ray of electricity
once in a while. If you get hit, you'll be stuned for a few seconds.
Jump to evade the attack. The small robot bug in the other hand, will
stun you when there is electricity around it and we you are near enough.
Blast
There will be flying robots throwing down bombs. Run when the bomb is
near you. I don't think it is possible to pick the bombs cause I haven't
done something as stupid as that.
Warp
There is three warping platform here. I will number them from left, 1, 2
and 3.
There first number is which platform you enter and the second is where
you'll come out.
2-1
1-3
3-2
Sky Cube
This is probably the hardest terrain. Be careful not to drop. If you do,
you'll end up on the upper platform. Don't waste too much time here
cause after some time, the terrain will start shaking and the lower
platform will fall. Try to go up to the higher platform but beware,
there'll be a big cube coming down to sweep everything away. Some cubes
may be swept down from the upper platform and hit everything below. Get
away from the bomb cubes(shaped as red diamond) when it starts shaking
cause there'll explode by themselves. Do not touch the cubes during the
quake or you'll be damaged.
Moon
It is quite easy here. You'll be able to jump very high and throw very
far cause you're on the MOON! But you'll be walking very slow. When you
pick up the meteorite, you'll be walking a lot faster and your character
will keep walking that direction even when you're not pressing. It may
easy or hard to dodge attacks here depending of what kind of attack.
Channel PoyPoy
This terrain is not available on any modes other than the "PoyPoy Cup".
This is actually the final stage for the cup. There is no obstacles here
but this stage is hard when you're fighting 3 Com players.
7.Items
There is a variety of items on each maps. They are explained below:
heart- replenish your by quite a lot(very useful)
yellow heart- unknown(please help me bout this)
red ball- speed up your actions
blue ball- slow you down(avoid)
red bomb- very powerful, larger range than normal bomb, hit&fly!(avoid
at all cost!)
PsychoGloves
Generally, pyschogloves are gloves which gives superhuman powers and
special abilities. Every glove has their own special ability which is
executed by pressing R1 or R2 after picking whole holding
something(except chests, enemy and etc). There are two kind of gloves.
The first kind is the normal kind. These kind are upgradable into an
entirely new glove which is more powerful, uses more pyshic energy and
the synchronization rate with your character may even change. An
upgraded glove is not always better. The second kind are considered evil
or dangerous in the game. These kind have powers which is out of this
world! It is useless, stupid, weak or extremely powerful! By the way,
you cannot upgrade these kind of gloves. The first kind can be used in
all modes while the second are not allowed to be used in the "PoyPoy
Cup".
How to get the upgraded version gloves?
To get the upgraded version gloves, you will need to need to play the
"PoyPoy Cup" and probably win it to have enough money and in suitable
condition to upgrade. All normal gloves are upgradable.
How to get the dark gloves?
Like the upgraded version, you'll need to play the "PoyPoy Cup" and get
enough money to buy it from a mysterious person in the restroom which is
behind the computer for saving.
I will not put a list of the gloves and their powers because the are
available in the game. For the upgraded and dark version, try them
yourself.
9.Tips&Tricks
1. Find a character you like.
2. Find a glove that you like.
3. Suite them together cause some character is only good at using
certain gloves. This can be done by using the synchronization rate in
the "PoyPoy Cup" mode.
4. Always go up to higher places for more benefits.
5. When only you and 1 player is left, take your time(if your life is
longer) and attack carefully probably by using special powers if they
are long ranged.
6. Never go into the middle of the enemies.
7. Run when you see the enemy running towards from behind when you're
holding a rock(they will probably catch you)
8. Don't stand near a bunch of bombs or cube bombs, one explode, all
explode.
9. Throw anything to the enemy when they're holding a cube bomb cause if
they get hit, they'll drop the bomb and it will explode and damage
them. This applies to you too. Throw the bomb when you see any
threats.
10. If you get burned, go near your enemy and burn them too!
11. Get to know what is all the abilities so that you'll know what to
do. Example, Bubba uses his magic glove and throw a big bomb into the
air and vanishes. You'll probably get squashed if you don't know what
will happen next.
10.Stories&Questions
1. I was playing but I kept losing the the main event. Suddenly, I got

final stage. By, author
