WALKTHROUGH: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 1... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Collect the heart framers. One in the lower left, two in the lower and upper right corners. Hit the snakey in the upper left corner with two magic shots. Collect the final heart framer and then the jewel in the center of the screen. Move on to room 2. First, collect the heart framer to the far right. Backtrack and collect the second, third and fourth heart framer before the snakey. Hit snakey with two magic shots, collect the heart framer and move right past the skull. Go up and around to the heart framer in front of the door. Collect that. Shoot the uppermost skull with two magic shots and collect the final heart framer. The final heart framer will activate the monsters so hurry to the jewel in the upper left corner. Move on to room 3. Collect heart framers in the lower and upper right corners. Then, collect the heart framer that seals the alma in the upper left corner. Run quickly to the emerald framer in the lower right corner. Wait for the alma to roll into the enclosure, then push the emerald framer against the wall to trap it. In the lower left corner push the left and right emerald framers up one space leaving the middle where it is. Push the middle heart framer to the side [left or right, it doesn't matter]. Collect the heart framer. Repeat process with the next three emerald framers. Collect the remaining heart framers and then the jewel. Move on to room 4. This room is packed with leepers [or sleepers as I call them]. They fall asleep upon touching you, potentially trapping you. Walk up towards the first heart framer. Collect the second and the third heart framer using the desert path. Keep moving and the leepers won't trap you. You don't HAVE to use the desert path, it just always works for me. Collect the jewel and move on to room 5. This room introduces two new enemies. The block creatures [formally known as rocky] will charge after Lolo if they cross paths. They can't kill you by touch, but they can kill you by either trapping you or pushing you into the fatal path of the medusas. The danger zones are any unobstructed path up, down, left or right of the medusas. And any place where a rocky can potentially push Lolo into one. Observe the rockys' patterns, keep moving and this shouldn't be a problem. Directly north of Lolo, push the first two emerald framers against the medusas. Collect the three heart framers on either side of the emerald framers. Push the lower right emerald framer against the right side of the rightmost medusa. Push the upper right emerald framer against the top of the rightmost medusa. And push the remaining emerald framer [upper left] against the top of the leftmost medusa. Collect the three heart framers on either side of the emerald framers. Collect jewel and climb the staircase to floor 2!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 2... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is another straightforward room involving five heart framers, a few one- way passes and a rocky. The room is divided into rows. The basic concept is to collect the heart framers when the rocky isn't adjacent to your row. The danger zones are any recess the rocky can trap you in or position where the rocky can push you against the arrows [they're called one-way passes for a reason]. Patiently wait for the rocky to leave if need be. Collect the heart framers, the jewel and move on to room 2. Push the closest emerald framer to the right until you hit a tree. Collect the lower right heart framer. There's an emerald framer two spaces above the two trees directly above. Push it one unit left, two units down. Now you should have two emerald framers side by side. Push the emerald framer against the trees one unit down. Then the other left past one tree then another [four spaces total]. Don't push it in the corner created by the clump of trees. Go around to the bottom of the emerald framer and push it up one, left one, up one, and left one. It should now be against the right side of the lowermost medusa. Go back the way you came. It's now safe to collect the heart framer near the center of the screen. Push the emerald framer that you left near the trees up two. Go around; push it to the left until you hit a tree, then down one, left four. Then push it up one and left against the wall to block the downward path of the medusa. Collect the heart framer directly below and waddle to the upper right emerald framer. Push this emerald framer upwards against the wall; collect the heart framer between it and the rock in the corner. The jewel box is now open and there are two remaining emerald framers to relocate. The leftmost needs to be pushed against the wall to the left. Leave the middle emerald framer where it is. Push the rightmost down three, left four, up one, left one, up six. Collect the jewel and move on to room 3. Do NOT collect the lowermost heart framer until the end. Dealing with the two emerald framers near the snakeys, push the right one against the snakey, right one, up two. This is to block the skull and to create a narrow path to hit the remaining two skulls with magic shots. Mirror the process with the left emerald framer. Push the rightmost emerald framer against the lower right skull, blocking its entrance and again, mirror the process with the leftmost. Now, go up against the wall to collect the four heart framers to the left and then the right. Collect the final heart framer and prepare to use the magic shots above you [or in front if you prefer]. Shoot the first skull [only once] at least one space from the entrance between the snakeys. Move around the egg, shoot the other skull, collect the jewel and move on to room 4. This is room is more instinct than cerebral, but I'll see what I can do. There are thirteen heart framers and three rockys. The room is divided up into rows much like the first room, but more advanced. Generally, the rockys in the side rows stay to them exclusively and the other circles around the center. Their patterns are really predictable, stay as far away from them as possible when entering the recesses. That's all, collect the heart framers [patience goes a long ways here], the jewel and move on to room 5. There are a whopping fifteen heart framers in this room, fourteen of which you can collect right away. Save the middle heart framer for last, as of now it will act as a shield. The following can be done in reverse. Push the rightmost emerald framer left against the medusa. It is now safe to walk down to the lower three. Of the three, push the center framer to the left. Walk around to the flowerbed below. Walk over the jewel box and push the emerald framer up against the uppermost [of the lower three]. Push the emerald framer below the arrow pointing to the right up two spaces. It is now on the arrow pointing to the right against the left side of the medusa. Walk over the jewel box again and around the left side to the leftmost emerald framer. Push it right against another emerald framer. Go back around, the way you came through the flowerbed and jewel box. Push the leftmost emerald framer up one space and right two spaces. It is now safe to collect the final heart framer. Collect it, the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 3!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 3... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From Lolo's initial placement, move right pushing the emerald framer one space. Move up one space; push the emerald framer, located to the left of Lolo, against the medusa. Return to the three adjacent emerald framers. Push the upper emerald framer one space to the right and the emerald framer below one space to the right. And another space to the right when the alma rolls into the alcove. Collect the two heart framers in the lower right corner now that alma is trapped. Scroll left to the opening between the tree and stone, move up to the stone above and stop. Do NOT collect the left heart framer now or the gol will kill you when you collect the last, activating its flame attack. Don medusa [or the pink, fanged beast roaming back and forth] will cause instant death upon seeing Lolo, so follow my directions carefully. The safety zones are behind the two stones. When don medusa passes right of the center stone, move right three spaces to the protection of the center stone. This part can be tricky. When don medusa begins to cross the stone [it only needs to be a fraction and Lolo is safe] start your run to the rightmost heart framer. There isn't any room for error here, you need to collect the heart framer and move back to your original position. The heart framer to the left should now be flashing. Move behind the other stone and collect the final heart framer when safe. You now have the power to turn a one-way pass. Use it on the arrow above. When don medusa hits the center stone [going right], quickly move Lolo up to the emerald framer and push it to the right one space. Wait until don medusa hits the stone going left this time, push the emerald framer two more spaces to the right and hide behind it. Push the emerald framer up one space in preparation for the don's arrival. As don medusa rolls past the emerald framer [going right], push it up one space trapping don medusa. The path to the open jewel box is now free. Collect the jewel and move on to room 2. Move Lolo right to the two emerald framers. Push the upper of the two against the stone and the lower at or past the flowerbed. Do NOT collect the heart framer below the snakey yet. When the don medusa scrolls up past the clump of three emerald framers, make a run for them. Then, when don medusa scrolls down past the middle emerald framer, push it against the wall and down until don medusa can no longer move. Complete his entrapment by pushing the lower emerald framer against don medusa's right side. Now you may collect the three heart framers above. This gives you the hammer power, which I'll get to in just a second. For now, push the remaining framer down two spaces, right four, up three and right one blocking medusa's downward path [enabling you to push another framer by]. Go down to the stone by snakey and use your hammer power to demolish it. Push the now free emerald framer three spaces left, four spaces up, three spaces right, three spaces up, two spaces right and two spaces up. Medusa is completely blocked off now and the path to the jewel box is only an egg ride away. Hit snakey with one magic shot. In egg form, push it into the water [to the right], holding onto right on the d-pad, get on the egg and float to the jewel box holding up on the d-pad to get off. Go on to room 3. The leeper will run around the flowerbed, so be cautious at the edges. Have Lolo walk into the flowerbed and collect the central heart framer. Push the lower emerald framer to the far right. Collect the right heart framer and return to the flowerbed quickly. Without the lower emerald framer, the leeper will now enter. So, be careful along the inner edges as well. Push the upper emerald framer to the far left and then collect the heart framer beneath. Return Lolo to the left flowerbed quickly. Face Lolo towards the bottom of the screen. When the leeper runs in front of Lolo, fire a magic shot. Push the egg against the wall and collect the heart framer. Return to the flowerbed. Allow the leeper to hatch. In the right flowerbed, face Lolo towards the top of the screen. When the leeper runs in front of Lolo, fire your last magic shot, push the egg against the wall and collect the jewel. Move on to room 4. Move Lolo one space up, moving the emerald framer out of your way. Push the lower emerald framer against the right medusa's left side. Push the left emerald framer all of the way down, into the flowerbed and in between the trees. Collect the heart framer to the right. Return to the last emerald framer. Push it down and left so it's located directly north of the lower medusa [against the tree] enabling safe passage to the left side. Push the lower left emerald framer one space up [right side of left medusa]. Push the right emerald framer two spaces up. Walk up to the snakey. Hit him with two magic shots creating a gap. Quickly push the upper left emerald framer one space down, move one space to the right, push the adjacent emerald framer up one space. Collect the heart framer in the upper left corner. Push the emerald framer that's against the stones down against the tree, then one space right, and one space down. Collect the lower left heart framer. Return to the emerald framer north of the left medusa. Move it one space right, down three, right five, and all up against the wall. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 5. Collect the heart framer to your left [between the skull and emerald framer]. Go up; collect the heart framer in the stone alcove. Hit the skull between the trees with ONE magic shot and push the resulting egg up against the wall. Move the upper right emerald framer one space to the right. Collect the heart framer. Shoot the skull parallel to the snakey with one magic shot and push the egg into the right corner with the other two skulls. Push the accessible emerald framer up and between the two trees to seal the skulls in. Shoot the lower skull with one magic shot and use its egg as a raft to reach the snakey. Get off of the egg as soon as you reach the heart framer. Shoot the snakey with the final magic shot and push it into the water right after the other egg sinks. The snakey will float up and around, landing on the little peninsula. Do NOT get off right away, wait a second, then get off. Go down, run all of the way to the right, down and to the jewel box. This can be tricky [avoiding the skulls' paths] and there might be a better way. Anyways, climb the staircase to floor 4!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 4... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Move the emerald framer on the left side of the closest snakey all of the way up the screen, trapping the room's don medusa. Collect the heart framer in the upper left corner, then the heart framer below. Push the emerald framer directly below the last heart framer down one and right one. This next part will have to be done quickly and with precision. Hit the snakey with one magic shot, push the egg all of the way to the right. Cross the water without hesitating. Push the first emerald framer up one and right one. Push the second up one and the third right one. Collect the heart framer in the upper right corner. Hurriedly collect the heart framer in the lower right corner. Shoot the snakey and cross the water. Push the emerald framer down one before the snakey reappears. Now push the emerald framer right three spaces so it should be under the medusa now. Walk to the stone above and face Lolo in its direction. When the leeper reaches the stone, use the hammer power. Move left and wait for the leeper to come out of the new opening. Position Lolo in a spot where he won't be trapped by the stagnant leeper. Go behind the emerald framer and push it up against the medusa. Collect the jewel and move on to room 2. Hurry to the opening [with four heart framers] to your left. Push the middle heart framer up until you are enclosed. Collect the heart framers. When the almas are at the top of the screen, push the emerald framer at the bottom out of your way and move to the next enclosure. Push the emerald framer directly below the top heart framers down to seal yourself again. Collect the heart framers. Wait until clear and then go for the jewel. Move on to room 3. Save the closest heart framer for last, collect the other two carefully avoiding the don medusa's attack. Of the three emerald framers near Lolo, push the lower down, over the bridge and against the stone. Hit the snakey with one magic shot, and float over the water when safe. Quickly push the emerald framer one space to the right and when safe, another space to the right. Return to the snakey. On the left side of it now, hit it with another magic shot, push it all of the way to the right. Then push it down, traverse the waterway pushing the emerald framer ONLY one space down. When don medusa arrives at the corner, trap it with the emerald framer. Collect the heart framer on the right side of the gol. Hit the lowermost snakey with one magic shot and cross the water pushing the lower left emerald framer. Push the emerald framer down against the medusa. Collect the heart framer. Hit the leftmost snakey with a magic shot. Push the egg into the water and float to the upper right region, step onto dry land. Get the final heart framer. Hit the upper snakey with a magic shot and ride the egg to the jewel box. Collect the jewel and move on to room 4. Push the lower right emerald framer one space down and two spaces to the right. Collect the heart framer, then push it up against the medusa. Push the upper right emerald framer one space up and one space right [against the left side of the medusa]. Of the remaining five emerald framers, push the upper right one space to the left and the emerald framer formally under it one space down. Move one space to the left to collect the heart framer. Move another space left to push the emerald framer out of Lolo's way. Move one space up, pushing the upper left emerald framer. Collect the heart framer. Of the two lowermost emerald framers, push the left one down one space and all of the way to the left. Collect the heart framer below the emerald framer. Go right, up, left, and collect the heart framer between the stones. Be careful not to intercept a path of a medusa. Hit the upper right snakey with a magic shot. Push the resulting egg one space to the right, one space up and another space to the right. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 5. This level is very simple. It's a winding path of trees with a medusa and leeper in the center. Move down and right; collect the heart framer when the leeper passes in front of the medusa. Go right, then up, and collect the heart framer. Go up, left, and collect the heart framer. Go down. Go right, repeating the same procedure here, wait for the leeper to pass in front of the medusa. On the final stretch to the jewel box you'll have to wait for the leeper one last time. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 5!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 5... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Push the rightmost emerald framer of the lowest row right until it hits the tree and up until it's next to the medusa [and watch out for the don medusa while you are doing this]. Get the heart framer uncovered by the last move and push the emerald framer right, between the trees. Collect the heart framer below the medusa. Push the rightmost emerald framer up one space and another when the don medusa is to the right of it. With don medusa trapped, collect the upper right heart framer. Move one space down, pushing the emerald framer. Go two spaces left, one space up [all the while collecting heart framers]. One space down, push the emerald framer to your left two spaces left until it's next to the medusa. Collect the uncovered heart framer, move one space down pushing an emerald framer and two spaces left pushing another emerald framer, this time between a pair of trees. Collect the lower left heart framer. And now the heart framer in the top left corner, collect the jewel and move on to room 2. First, collect the heart framers to the left of both snakeys, leaving the center heart framer for later. Now you have the bridge power. Hit the upper snakey with one magic shot and hold up on the d-pad to cross the moat. Make a bridge parellel to the snakeys. Push the nearest emerald framer over the bridge and in between the tree and medusa. Collect the center heart framer and cross the bridge before the snakey returns. When the snakey returns, hit it with one magic shot, push the egg down one space, right one space and down into the water [do NOT cross]. While on the egg hit the other snakey and push the egg while on the floating egg. Now, push the egg all the way left to the medusa [it won't go into the water if the other is still afloat]. Cross the bridge before the snakey returns. When it does, hit it with another magic shot. Push the snakey egg one space down and five spaces to the left so it's positioned directly above the medusa. Cross the bridge again, go through the arrow, collect the heart framer. Push the upper left emerald framer down to where it's betwixt the jewel box and medusa. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 3. Of the lower left heart framers, collect the leftmost of the pair. Then walk around to the lower right corner and collect the heart framer between the tree and the wall. Hit the snakey to the left of medusa [between two trees] with a magic shot and push the egg one space to the right and one space up. Collect the second half of the heart framer pair and go up to the jewel box. Walk through the jewel box and shoot the snakey. Push the egg against the wall. Collect the heart framers from left to right. Then, use the hammer power on the stone above the arrow pointing at the gol. Walk through the gap, collect the heart framers and backtrack. Do NOT walk in front of the gols. Collect the jewel and move on to room 4. Start off by collecting the lowermost heart framer. Then use your newly acquired magic shots to shoot the gol to your left. Push the egg against the wall and collect the heart framer. Walk over to rocky's corner [hah] and collect the heart framer. This part can be tricky, so follow my instructions carefully. Walk straight towards the gol, allowing rocky to follow close behind. Then walk up towards gol number two. Branch off to the left before you run into medusa's path. Slowly walk into the heart framer, allowing the rocky to block medusa's attack. Once rocky is in place, move up and to the right, stop before the heart framer. Wait until rocky sees Lolo and runs up against the stone. Again, slowly walk into the heart framer using the rocky as a shield. Once you have the heart framer, go to the gol to your immediate left, shoot it, push the egg one space down. Then go left between the stone and tree. Hit the center snakey with a magic shot and push the egg beneath medusa. Collect the final heart framer. Coach the rocky around the bottom tree, cautiously avoiding the gols flame attack. It may work best to collect the heart framer once you've successfully lured rocky near position. Walk slowly up the side of the wall as you did before, using rocky as protection. Collect the jewel and move on to room 5. Lolo is on a deserted island with a heart framer and a snakey, hmm. Collect the heart framer. Shoot the snakey with a magic shot; use the egg as a bridge to island two. Shoot this snakey with a magic shot, push the egg up and hop on. Wait until the egg reaches the bridge and step off. Collect the left heart framer. Wait yet again for the egg to deep six. Then hit the rightmost gol with a magic shot, THEN collect the heart final heart framer. Push the egg into the water and ride it up to the emerald framer, step off. Push the emerald framer another space down. Hit the gol with a magic shot before you collect the final heart framer. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 6!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 6... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go down and over the bridge when the don medusa is away. Same deal here, push the rightmost emerald framer against the wall [between the stone and jewel box]. Now, as the don medusa starts to scroll left, run after it, collect the heart framer and hide behind the center emerald framer. Move half of Lolo's body left of the emerald framer and keep half behind [you need every inch you can take for the next move]. When half of don medusa crosses the emerald framer going right, run to the left, collect the heart framer and return to the emerald framer. Alright, now go to the jewel box when safe. Slide the lowermost emerald framer so it's below the center emerald framer [four total spaces]. Keep pushing both one space at a time until the don medusa is trapped up against the don medusa. Then push the top or center emerald framer between the medusa and don medusa [so you can block both of their attacks with one emerald framer]. You NEED the skulls for the next part. Cross over the bridge and walk through the arrow. Collect the final heart framer, activating the skulls. When the skull enters the top left corner, hit it with a magic shot. Push the egg into the water and cross. You should still have a few magic shots; use them if necessary. Collect the jewel and move on to room 2. Pass through the right arrow and collect the heart framer. Pass through the next right arrow and collect the second heart framer. Hit the snakey with a magic shot, crossing the water with the snakey egg. Repeat process here, except when in the water hit the third snakey with a magic shot and push the resulting egg against the stone. Push the egg up between the medusa and the jewel box. Go through the stone gap to the right and hit the top right snakey with a magic shot. Push the egg up and into the water, crossing immediately. Quickly collect the top right heart framer and hop back on the egg. Face Lolo towards the gol, shoot it with one magic shot and push it against the wall. Collect the top left heart framer. Go back to the top right snakey, and hit it with another magic shot. Push the egg all of the way left against the wall. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 3. Follow the arrow along the right side of the screen collecting the heart framer. Walk to the end of the corridor and push the emerald framer at the end two spaces to the left, one space up, two more spaces to the left, and one space down. Next, push the top right emerald framer one space up to collect the heart framer in the corner. Collect the heart framer in front of the exit. Then, push the top left emerald framer one space up to collect the other corner heart framer. Go to the left downward arrow and shoot the skull below it. Push the egg through the passage, and follow the arrow up the left wall collecting the heart framer. Walk through the downward arrow again. This next part is open to change, but this is what I did. I shot the lower right skull, pushed the egg against the lower left skull. Then I collected the final heart framer, pushed the skull out of the way and collected the jewel. The active skulls weren't much of a threat. Anyways, once you've collected the jewel, move on to room 4. Go to the end stone. When the coast is clear, run up to the top emerald framer and push it one space to the right. You now have two rows of emerald framers. Go to the bottom of the two rows. Wait for the rocky to walk into the lower left passage and then push the emerald framer to cork him in. Push the top left emerald framer one space to the left, hide behind it. When the don medusa moves to the right of the emerald framer, push it up against the stone [make sure the second don medusa, the one moving vertically, hits the stone or you have to start over]. There are only two remaining emerald framers in the left wall. Of the two; push the top emerald framer two spaces left, three spaces up, one space left, three spaces up, and when safe, one more space to the left. The upper medusa should now have an emerald framer below it. Return to the solitary emerald framer. Push it two spaces to the left, five spaces up, and four spaces to the left. It's now safe to collect the heart framers along the left wall. Go back to the line of emerald framers next to the flowerbed. From the top or bottom, push the first, third and fifth emerald framers against the wall. Push the emerald framer located second from the top [one of the protruding emerald framers] one space down. Push the emerald framer directly to the right of the last one a space down as well. Push the emerald framer to your left four spaces to the left, three spaces up, one more space left, and four and a half spaces up [so it blocks both the gol and medusa's attack]. Return to the three emerald framers in the corner. Push the top left of these emerald framers one space up, left four spaces, six spaces up, and two spaces right. Ideally, when the vertical scrolling don medusa is to the right of the horizontal scrolling gol, push emerald framer over it and one space down. If need be, you can push the middle right emerald framer a few spaces. Collect the final two heart framers, the jewel and move on to room 5. Lolo is on another deserted island. Anyways, collect the heart framer right of the snakey. Hit the snakey with a magic shot. Push the egg left and into the water. Hop on. When the egg carries Lolo to the top left island, step off. Preferably before the jewel box or you'll go down with the ship. Of the two emerald framers on the island, collect the lowermost ONLY. Then hit the rightmost gol with a magic shot, collect the final emerald framer, push the egg in the drink and hop on. Face Lolo downwards and prepare to use your rapid-fire skills. At the exact moment Lolo reaches the middle gol [between the downward and upward facing gols], fire two shots! And step off [works best if you are pressing down and shooting simultaneously]. This might take a few tries. Once on land, shoot the left gol once or twice [just so long as it's discarded]. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 7!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 7... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Push the only emerald framer Lolo has access to half of a space up. Then move left onto the downward pointing arrow. Next, go up and right [only half of Lolo will be exposed to the medusa, no harm done]. Push the emerald framer so it is positioned to the directly left of the bottom medusa. Now, collect the leftmost heart framer and whilst on the arrow push the two emerald framers [located to the top and bottom of Lolo] so they are against the right sides of the medusas. Return to the right pointing arrow. Collect the center emerald framer and move one space up so Lolo is standing on an upward arrow. Push the emerald framer to your left one space [it is now against a stone]. Then move up through an upward arrow and collect the two heart framers. Push the emerald framer to your right two spaces right closely observing the movements of the lower don medusa. Go to the centermost emerald framer [the only one of the original four remaining untouched] and push it down into the upward arrow. Move right, down, left and down. Collect the heart framers. Then push the emerald framer to your right three spaces this time. Return to the stone entrance, passing through the side of the right arrow. Go down and right to the bottom portion of the screen. Push the lower right emerald framer two spaces up and a half [or whole] space to the right. The lower don medusa should now be completely blocked. Go to the emerald framer that lies on the upward arrow directly to your left [the only emerald framer on an arrow]. Push this emerald framer up two spaces, right one space, up two spaces and right four spaces. Completely trap the upper don medusa using the emerald framers, collect the jewel and move on to room 2. Move down one space and right two and a half spaces. If you do as I say, the leeper will fall asleep directly to the right of a tree. That is a good space for the leeper because it isn't in the way of anything, but keep in mind that there are other places. Move down, past the gol, collect the first heart framer. Two spaces down now [beware of the don medusa], collect the second heart framer. Against the left wall and below the line of trees, collect heart framer number three. Then walk to the cluster of five emerald framers in the lower right corner. Push the top emerald framer right three spaces. When safe, collect the three heart framers below. Then, go through the bottom arrow, pushing the lowest emerald framer one space to the left. Push the emerald framer above Lolo up until it hits the tree [watch out for the don medusa along the path of trees]. Follow by pushing the emerald framer three spaces right and two spaces down. Go to the lower left corner, near the hoard of emerald framers. Push the bottom left emerald framer one space to the right. Then push the emerald framer above two spaces up, one space right, up to the tree, right three spaces, up one, right one, up one, and three right. Do NOT move more than this yet. Wait for the don medusa to reach the corner and push an additional half space. Lolo will still be on the arrow, go left. One final emerald framer to push.. Of the two along the bottom, push the rightmost to the jewel box and up two spaces. Walk over the jewel box, and collect the final heart framer of the room [quickly to avoid the gol's fire attack]. Collect the jewel. Walk through the right arrow at the top of the screen to push the emerald framer, freeing the exit and move on to room 3. Push the closest emerald framer two spaces right. Collect the exposed heart framers. Of the three emerald framers, push the top and bottom framers a single space to the right. Push the protruding emerald framer aside. Push the center emerald framer one space right, collect the heart framer beneath Lolo. Move right until the emerald framer hits the stone. One more space up and Lolo is free. Collect the third heart framer near the snakey. Shoot the snakey with a magic shot when the rocky isn't blocking your path up. Push the egg five spaces up and left into the water. Step off at the center emerald framer, pushing it a space down [to block the gol's attack later]. Get back on the drifting egg. Step off when it reaches the top left area of the screen [on the flowerbed]. Collect the final two heart framers at the top of the screen. Do NOT pass through the arrow now; it's certain death. Instead, return to the flowerbed, shoot the upper gol with a magic shot. Now go through the arrow, push the gol egg down into the water and hop on. Get off when the egg reaches the flowerbed precisely under the tree. Navigate through the emerald framer maze and collect the jewel. Move on to room 4. Collect ONLY the left heart framer at the bottom. Push the three emerald framers up one space respectively. Push the middle emerald framer up two more spaces and four spaces right so that it's positioned under the lower right medusa. Shoot the left skull with a magic shot and push it up between the medusa and tree. Shoot the other skull, pushing it up one and left two spaces. The corner medusa is blocked for now. Collect the heart framer in the upper left corner. Push the remaining emerald framer below the snakey. Shoot the snakey with two magic shots to make it vanish. Quickly push the emerald framer over the snakey's former location. With the space blocked, it can't reappear there, it'll reappear exactly where you need it! That is, above the lower right medusa. Collect the heart framers in the top right corner. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 5. Easy room, wahoo! Push the lowest emerald framer one space down. Collect the heart framer to the right. Collect the heart framers in the upper left corner and Lolo's ready to set sail! Of the three skulls, hit the lowest of the bunch with a magic shot. Push the egg into the water. Lolo will reach the lower heart framer first. Collect the heart framer when the time comes and immediately hop back on the egg. Of the two lower skulls, shoot the upper when Lolo passes between it and the lower [so it doesn't attack you when you collect the final heart framer on it's isle]. Collect the last heart framer, return to the egg and float to the jewel box. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 8!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 8... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Push the neighboring emerald framer four spaces to the left. Push the emerald framer above one space up then the first emerald framer one space down. Push the emerald framer nearest the medusas' point of trisection one space up. Then move right and push the emerald framer one space right [over the heart framer]. Go left, down and around to collect the heart framer below the emerald framer. While you're here, push the emerald framer one space up. Push the center emerald framer down two spaces. Go back around to push this same emerald framer one space left [above the lowest medusa]. Shoot the centermost snakey with a magic shot. Push it one space left and one space up [between adjoining stone and tree]. Stroll over to the jewel box. Push the upper and lower emerald framers one space left. Then push the middle of the three all of the way down to collect the heart framer. This may be redundant, but anyways, collect the heart framer in the corner. Look for the emerald framer between stone and tree [near the center]. Push this emerald framer up one space, left two [against the tree], three up, one space right, and up until it hits the wall. Hit the top right snakey with a magic shot. Push the egg two spaces down and two spaces right. There's a relatively small window of opportunity here. Collect the two heart framers in the corner. Then, run to the side of the egg and shoot it before it hatches to make it disappear. Now you can use it again, hurrah! When it reappears, hit it with another magic shot. Push the egg one space down and left until it hits a tree. Then up until it hits the wall. Collect final heart framer, jewel and move on to room 2. Another simple room. Nice change of pace, isn't it? Since this room is symmetrical, the following can be done in reverse. Walk along the left wall collecting the two heart framers at the edge of the water. For this to work, collect ONLY the left heart framer along the bottom. Collect the heart framers along the right side as well. Using the flowerbed as a barricade, shoot one of the skulls twice allowing the three almas to escape. With your abundance of magic shots, shoot two of them twice. With a single alma isolated, shoot it once and push the egg into the water [right side in this instance]. Hop on the egg and float around to the remaining heart framer. You can get off of the egg any time to collect it, just remember to use the egg to collect the jewel [entering the core any other way would be certain death]. Collect the jewel and move on to room 3. This room looks a lot more complex than it actually is. The only enemies you will have to contend with are the gols in the upper left corner. Collect all seven accessible heart framers [the one in the upper left corner giving you magic shots]. Use your first bridge power to reach the heart framers in the upper right corner. Either from the bottom or left side, but hurry because the bridge will burn as it logically should. Go to the top left corner of the room. Hit the leftmost gol with magic shot and push it down three spaces [so it is situated between a stone and the wall]. This convenient measure will not only eliminate the threat of this gol, but block the entrance to any enemies as well. Create your second and final bridge just above the stone. Of the five leftover heart framers: leave the lower left, collect the rest. Hit the lower of the side-by-side gols with a magic shot. Collect the final heart framer. While on the bridge, shoot the gol pointed at the jewel box. Run across the wall to avoid a fire attack, collect the jewel and move on to room 4. Push the left emerald framer down three spaces and left until Lolo can push no more. Collect the lower left heart framer. Shoot the left snakey with a magic shot. Push the egg up between the medusa and heart framer. Collect the upper left heart framer. Push the right emerald framer down three spaces and right until it is touching the wall. Hit the lower right snakey with a magic shot and push the egg up between the medusa and heart framer. Collect the upper right heart framer. On the right stone barrier, smash the second stone from the top [between the medusa and heart framer]. Shoot the right snakey with two magic shots to make it reappear next to the flowerbed. Shoot it with another magic shot and slide the egg into position [between the medusa and heart framer]. Collect the final heart framer. To the left side of the screen now, smash the stone second from the bottom with Lolo's final hammer power [between the medusa and jewel box]. Shoot the left snakey with two shots as done with the other. When snakey reappears, shoot it again and push the egg into the opening [between the medusa and jewel box] and collect the jewel. Move on to room 5. Collect the three heart framers in a line, just below the starting point. Push the lowest emerald framer two spaces towards the medusa. Move up through the right arrow. Collect the heart framer. Use a turn arrow here [on the arrow pointing down]. Collect the heart framer to the left. Use another turn arrow power on the same arrow and go up. Push the emerald framer against the wall. Collect the heart framer and pass through the strip with double right arrows. In the top right corner, collect both heart framers and pass through the left arrow [towards the emerald framer]. Follow by pushing the emerald framer all of the way left against the tree. Collect the two heart framers below. Push the top left emerald framer one space left. Collect the heart framer beneath. Return to the arrow that's been turned twice. Use the final arrow power here [it should be pointing to the right now]. Go down to the next arrow and walk through. Collect the three heart framers here. Push this emerald framer down as far as you can. Go down, push the emerald framer one space to the right and collect the two final heart framers. Walk through the arrow pointing down, go up, walk through the second arrow pointing down, through the left arrow, two right arrows, and the arrow in front of the jewel box. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 9!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLOOR 9... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Walk through the two downward arrows. Collect the heart framer to the left and pass through the adjoining left arrow. Push the left emerald framer two spaces up. Return to the right side of the cluster. Push the right emerald framer two spaces up and two spaces down. It is now safe to collect the top- most heart framer. Suspend the don medusa to the left wall by pressing the emerald framer against it. Push the upper emerald framer four spaces to the right and down four spaces. Wait for the leeper to leave if not already gone and push the emerald framer in front of the gol. Do NOT collect the heart framer in the lower right corner now. Backtrack through the flowerbed to the emerald framers. If not done already, collect the heart framer between the gols [be careful not to touch the leeper]. When the leeper is on the right, run through the gols, and left. Stay beside the jewel box, if all goes according to plan the leeper will fall asleep in front of the gol. With that taken care of, you'll need to circumvent the skulls, but first, collect the heart framer above. To the emerald framers now [you'll have to go through the up arrows and around to reach them], push them past the gols one by one. Place the first in the lower right [all of the way down]. Place the second emerald framer to the left and the last emerald framer dead center. Or you could push one emerald framer halfway between the middle and left row of skulls and save the last emerald framer to block the gol above [the choice is yours, but of no consequence]. Collect the final heart framer in the bottom right corner, the jewel and move on to room 2. Go left, up and around to the emerald framers by the jewel box. Push the top one out two spaces and up one. Collect heart framer. Push the other right and up against the medusa. Blast one of the skulls in the bottom right corner with two magic shots and walk into the gap left in its absence. Collect the two heart framers. Push the outer emerald framers up one space respectively. Of the two emerald framers in the center, push the top one aside. Hit the top right gol with two magic shots. Collect both emerald framers in the corner. This next part requires a little reflex skill. Shoot both of the snakeys twice clearing a path to the final heart framer. Grab the heart framer and almost immediately pull back, shoot the skull, push the egg out of your way and quickly collect the jewel. Move on to room 3. Push the emerald framers at your side outward one space each. Collect the first of the two heart framers above the jewel box [upper]. Go to the three emerald framers on the left side. Push the first up four and a half spaces. Return to the two remaining. Push the lower emerald framer one space left. Then push the other up against the medusa and half a space left. Collect the left heart framer. The right side is identical, so just repeat process. Revisit the emerald framers by the door. Push the two leftover emerald framers down, ceasing at the jewel box. Shoot the snakey twice to make it disappear. Push the emerald framer [conveniently located one space above] over its previous location. It will reappear between the medusa and jewel box. Collect the final heart framer, the jewel and move on to room 4. This room requires keen attention to detail. Push the only emerald framer up one space carefully avoiding the piercing glare of don medusa below. Then push it left to the stone and up into the patch of desert between the room's medusa and jewel box. Cross the bridge and when safe, collect the heart framer nestled in the upper right corner. The flowerbeds are your safety zones, so use the patches to shake off the rockys. Go to the flowerbed strips to the left [be aware that directly standing on the right strip of flowerbed isn't protected against the left don medusa below]. When the alma is below and a reasonable distance away from Lolo, sprint across the clearing [using the alma as a buffer] and collect the two heart framers. To avoid the alma when it returns and not die from exposure to the medusa, step half off the flowerbed [to the right]. When the alma returns, cross over. Go down the bridge and collect the heart framers from right to left. All of which require patience and timing. The first two are self-explanatory, so I'll skip those. Collect the leftmost before the third, using the third as a shield. After you've carefully collected all of the heart framers, collect the jewel and move on to room 5. Collect the heart framer two spaces above, acquiring two magic shots. Go to the left snakey. Shoot it with a magic shot and push the egg one space right [in front of the medusa]. Collect the heart framer between the trees. Now go to the snakey in the upper left corner. As before, hit this snakey with a magic shot and move the egg in front of the medusa. Collect the now accessible heart framer. Go over to the don medusa. Face Lolo up towards the stone blocking don medusa's rightward path. Smash the stone and run to the right stone posthaste. Once to the right stone, go down to the emerald framer. Push the emerald framer three spaces left, two spaces up, one space left, two spaces up, two spaces left and another two spaces up. Collect the heart framer and the final when safe. Backtrack, collect the jewel and climb the staircase to floor 10!! On the tenth and final floor of the Tower, Lolo catches a ride on an airship to the castle aloft... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CASTLE... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When the rocky runs towards you, charge up the center. Collect the heart framer between the emerald framers and push each up against the wall. Follow by pushing each emerald framer to the corner, pinning the don medusas against the wall. Hit one of the snakeys with a magic shot. Push the resultant up the bridge, to the jewel box and under one of the don medusas. Repeat this with the other snakey and don medusa. The don medusas are now trapped rendering the remaining heart framers halfway safe to collect. Push the emerald framers in the bottom corners one space down [don't attempt to push the framers if the rocky is near]. From the lower central region you can push each framer against the wall through the arrows. Collect both heart framers. Don't walk in front of the gols now, you're practically done, walk around. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to castle floor 2. Collect the heart framer a few spaces down. Do NOT collect the heart framer to Lolo's immediate right. Traverse the bridge. Shoot the first snakey you encounter one time. Push the egg into the water and collect the heart framer below. Next, cover snakey's square with the emerald framer above before it reappears. It will reappear above the left medusa and when it does, push the emerald framer two more spaces down. Go down to the lower right emerald framer. Push it one space left and collect the heart framer above. Collect the heart framer to the left. Then push the lower left emerald framer to the right and collect the emerald framer in the alcove. Stand back and blast the snakey with two magic shots. Cover the spot with an emerald framer soon after. This snakey will emerge in front of the other medusa. Procure the last heart framer. When you cross the bridge, immediately head downwards so as to not die of flame attacks. Shoot the snakey to your right and dash to the egg! Push it in the water and ride to the jewel box. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to castle floor 3. Go down through the double arrows. Take a right under the gol. Watch out for the don medusas. Go through the down arrow. No choice, but to go left. Then go down and to the three emerald framers in the corner. Push the left and right emerald framers down and after push the center emerald framer to the right. Push the emerald framer through the arrow two spaces. Wait above it, push it half a space down when the don medusa is on the right side. Push it one more space to the right for good measure. Make a break for the leftmost skull [of the cluster]. Behind this skull, take a shot at it with some magic and push the egg down to trap the don medusa in the lower right corner. Finish the deed by pushing the skull egg one space to the right. Observing the movements of topmost don medusa, push the lowermost emerald framer against the two skulls [directly right]. It should be halfway between the two. Collect the heart framer amidst the outcropping of skulls. Shoot the skull above the heart framer [that you just collected] and push the egg to the right when the don medusa is below. When safe, push the egg down. Now you have a perfect conglomeration of enemies. Use your stealth skills to reach the top right emerald framer unharmed. When don medusa is to the right [in the corner], push it up a space. Then push the emerald framer to your left under it. Go down to the emerald framer below. Push it down against the skull and half a space to the right. Next, go to the emerald framers in the lower left corner of the room. Push the leftmost up against the skull and the leftover through the arrow. Then push the emerald framer in the gap of the enemy cube [in the corner]. Walk through the up arrow and push the emerald framer atop the down arrow directly above. Now walk around to the top right corner. Use your turn arrow power on the arrow pointing at you. The entire top row of arrows should be pointing down now. Push the emerald framer against the snakey, then down against the skull. Push the emerald framer an additional half space left to cover both the skull and medusa. Collect the final heart framer. Weave through the arrows to the jewel box. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to castle floor 4. Collect the heart framers in both lower left and right corners. Then push the second emerald framer from the left on the down arrow. Move left, onto the up arrow, go up, and around to the emerald framer on top of the down arrow. Push it three spaces down, two spaces right, two spaces up, one more space right and another three spaces up. Collect the two heart framers below. Go to the right pair of emerald framers. Push the second from the right onto the down arrow. Use the turn arrow power on the down arrow and continue pushing upwards until you hit a tree. Then, push the emerald framer left until you hit tree number two. The emerald framer should be below the medusa. Collect the heart framer below [should only be three left]. Now, push the emerald framer that's directly below left two spaces, up two spaces and right one space. Collect upper left heart framer. Make your way to the bottom left corner. Slide the bottom left emerald framer two spaces up. Walk around and push it one space to the right [it should be on top of the downward pointing arrow now]. Walk around yet again and push the same emerald framer down three spaces. Then right three, up until it hits the emerald framer below the medusa, left two, up three, and right two. The medusa is adequately blocked. Collect the final two heart framers. Though it may be tempting to walk straight to the jewel box, walk all the way around. Collect the jewel and climb the staircase to castle floor 5. You've reached the final room of the entire game! The first heart framer you'll want to collect is the one in the bottom left corner. Be careful not to stray in front of the medusa in doing so. Then you're going to collect the heart framer in the upper left corner. But you'll have to time this perfectly. Walk halfway onto the heart framer. When the leaper is to the right, collect the heart framer and make a mad dash downwards. When you are two spaces below the trees, quickly face upwards and shoot the leaper. Your time frame is kind of small, but it's easy to do with a little practice. Push the egg one space right so it is directly north of the medusa. Don't bother pushing the egg down. Before the egg hatches you need to collect the other two heart framers in the column directly right of the egg. Now go to the bottom of the screen to the right of the lowermost medusa. Wait for the leaper to hatch and approach you. Shoot it again when it's two or less spaces away, but don't let it touch you. Push it down against the southern wall so it is located between the medusa and the jewel box. This is important, wait against the egg so the leaper falls asleep right when it awakes. Now go up and pass between the two trees into the second half of the room. Avoiding the don medusa, push the emerald framer that lies below the snakey one space to the right. Quickly, shoot the snakey. Push the egg up against the wall when the don medusa is in the upper right corner. Collect the upper left heart framer. Directly below the snakey egg, wait for the don medusa to hit the corner, then shoot the egg again to make it disappear. Before the snakey reappears, go over to the leftmost emerald framer and push it up against the wall when the don medusa enters the little nook. Run to the right side of the emerald framer above the stone collecting the upper right heart framer in the process. Push the emerald framer one space to the left. Run around to the other side and push it up one space. If done right, the snakey will reappear below the medusa. Push this same emerald framer down three spaces so it is blocking the upper medusa's left side. Collect the center heart framer. Push the rightmost emerald framer one space down. Your path to the jewel box should now be clear! Collect the jewel within and climb the stairs to the king's lair!! Now it's mano a mano, you [Lolo] versus the evil king. You have unlimited magic shots. As the king moves from left to right he'll shoot at you too. Dodge and fire, dodge and fire. It's very easy. Climb the stairs to free Lala! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ III. LEXICON: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BASICS... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emerald Framers Emerald Framers can be moved around the screen to protect you from the attacks of some of the characters, and trap other characters. Heart Framers When you've picked up all the Heart Framers the Jewel Box is open. Like Emerald Framers, Heart Framers will protect you from attack, but they cannot be moved. See Power Display for more on Heart Framers. Jewel Box Lolo can freely walk through the Jewel Box, and it will protect him from enemies that attack him directly, but it will not protect him from Medusa, Don Medusa, or Gol. One-Way Passes Usually Lolo can go through a One-Way Pass only in the direction the arrow is facing, but there are exceptions. Enemies can pass through One-Way Passes regardless of direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magic Shots Certain characters, when hit by a Magic Shot, can be turned into Eggs. An Egg can be moved around, but will return to its original shape and location after a while. If an Egg is shot twice, it will disappear, then return in a few seconds to its original shape and position. Power Display When a symbol appears in the Power Display, that power will be made available to you once you've taken enough Heart Framers. As you take Hearts, you should reach a point where the remaining Heart Framers begin to flicker. Taking one more Heart will give you the power shown. - Bridge When a bridge is shown in the Power display, a Bridge the same length as the one in the display can be built over Water or Lava. Face the spot where you want to build your Bridge and push your Power button. - Hammer When the Hammer power is shown, one rock in the room can be destroyed. Point Lolo at the Rock you want to remove and push the appropriate Power button at close range. - Arrow Turn When the One-Way Pass power is shown, the direction of one arrow can be turned 90 degrees by facing the Arrow and pushing the button you've chosen as your Power button. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TERRAIN... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deserts Lolo's speed will be cut in half in Deserts, but they do not affect an enemy's rate of speed. Flowerbeds Lolo can rest in flowerbed. Enemies cannot enter, but it's no protection from attacks. Lava Eggs cannot be put into Lava Beds or Lava Streams to get across. Bridges can be built down very quickly – time your moves and don't get stranded! Rocks All attacks, and all enemies' paths, are blocked by Rocks. Rocks cannot be moved. Trees Magic shots cannot pass through trees, but some characters can attack through trees. Water Lolo has various ways to cross bodies of water. Bridges can be built if the Bridge Power is available, of he can ride across on an Egg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENEMIES... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alma Runs around the room at high speed. If Alma is directly across from Lolo, she will tuck her body into a ball and roll straight ahead until she runs into something. Don Medusa The Boss of the Defenders. Don Medusa attacks in the same way as Medusa, and can be defended against in the same way. He moves at a constant speed in a predetermined path. Gol Gol just sleeps until the last Heart Framer is taken, then his eyes pop open and he awakes to shoot a deadly flame straight at Our Hero. Leeper Leeper bounds around until he touches Lolo, then goes to sleep and doesn't awaken. He can be turned into an Egg as long as he's moving about. Medusa Medusa can attack Lolo in a straight line in all four directions. His attacks can be stopped be Rocks, Emerald Framers, or the bodies of other characters. Rocky Rocky rumbles around slowly most of the time, but he is close to Lolo he'll pick up speed and move very quickly. Skull Skulls will sit quietly and watch the action patiently until the last Heart Framer is taken, then leap into action with jaws thrashing and eyes flashing. Snakey Snakey keeps a vigilant eye out, constantly turning back and forth, watching Lolo. He's completely harmless, but is useful as a tool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV.
