INTRODUCTION G0100 =============================================================================== Welcome to 'The Smurfs' for the Sega Master System and GameGear, a platformer released by Infogrames. Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy! =============================================================================== 02.) BASICS G0200 =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls G0210 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the basic controls when on-foot: Button 1 = Hold for dash Button 2 = Jump, hold longer for higher/farther jumps Left/Right = Walk Down = Duck Up/Down = Climb Vines Advanced controls you will probably need to master are: Combine dashing followed by a jump to get across chasms While in the air, press Button 1 to suddenly jump faster (weird, yeah) You start each chapter with 4 life bars. If the are depleted you will lose a life as indicated by the number on top. Falling down into water or nothingness will cost you a life regardless of how many bars you had left. Losing a life also means you need to restart the level from the very beginning and pick up all items again, with all enemies respawned. Try to avoid that. Each level gives you 99 seconds to complete. This is very generous and should never be a problem for you. Instead the goal is to collect as much of a time bonus as you can. Each second on the block gives you 10 points at the end of the level. This does not mean you want to rush through the level as collecting items is far more valuable anyway, and the points are after all just points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items G0220 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mushroom (100p) You must jump on top of it to destroy it first. Star (100p) There are four or five stars in each level. Each one will give you a 500p bonus at the end of the level. Raspberry (200p) Can easily be picked up by just touching it. Leaf (100p) Collect these to get a new life? I think you need 99 of them... Smurf Collect a smurf icon to get an extra life! (i.e. 1UP) Key Unlocks the cages of your comrade smurfs. Wait, should that be "unsmurfs the cages"? (S) Boosts in the sled level, not found anywhere else. Required to reach some stars. Gift A mail bomb per se, pick it up and drop it for a *boom* surprise. Kills only a certain boss and cat though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enemies G0220 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Worm Green worm that snails along slowly. Easy to avoid and can be killed by jumping on it. Squirrel Throws nuts from the hole in the tree. Avoid the nuts as it cannot be killed. Bee Flies in circles. Can be killed by jumping on it but it is safer to just avoid. Shark Only found in water, swims back and forth, oh and it bites! Spider Crawls back and forth. Cannot be killed. Hedgehog Bounces around in the area. Raven Flies back and forth. Easily avoided. Vulture Swoops in from the top and drops a nut, literally. Avoid by not flying beneath it. Cloud Fires a thunderbolt down. Try to stay low. Yeti Found in the sled level. Walks around slowly but mainly blocks the path. You can jump on them for a kill. Hedgehog This tiny guy has thorns so you cannot jump on him. Plant Sits in its plant, basically just blocking your path. Cannot be killed. Azriel Patrols the mansion floor. Can be killed with gift box bombs but also can simply be avoided. By the time he is dead you are almost through the level. Dark Smurf These smurfs are evil ones made by Gargamel. They will bounce at you until you hit their head. You can also jump over them and they will simply exit the stage left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Passwords G0240 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter these at the main screen to jump ahead in the story. | Act | Difficulty | Password | |-----|------------|----------| | 5 | Easy | NTLR | | 5 | Normal | BBRY | | 5 | Hard | CRTN | | 10 | Easy | MCSD | | 10 | Normal | KFDZ | | 10 | Hard | WPNQ | Act 5 is just past the first boss whereas Act 10 is just past the second boss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheats G0250 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While there are no actual cheats for the game, you can use Pro Action Replay to give you a big advantage. Infinite Time 00D92F:B0 Infinite Lives 00D923:63 Infinite Health 00D924:04 Note that with infinite health you will still die when falling down, and you will need to switch off the time cheat at the end of the level or else the countdown will never end. =============================================================================== 03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300 =============================================================================== "Dear Smurfs! This situation is pretty smurfous! Gargamel is trying to capture all the Smurfs for his dinner once again. "Three of us have already vanished. Hefty will leave to release them. Let's wish him good smurf, for the way is long and smurfy." This walkthrough was made with the EASY choice. If you play on Normal or Hard you will face more enemies, such as the Dark Smurfs. I will not mention all the enemies if you play on one of these modes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 1: The Forest G0310 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pick up your first STAR (1/5). Avoid the squirrels throwing nuts down, and then the worm. At the second squirrel jump up to the laaaaarge tree stump on the left of it via the mushroom and press down to enter it (Mario style). Inside is the second STAR (2/5) and three leaves. Bounce back outside to continue. [super thanks to paladincecil68 for the second star location!] Soon enough you will get your first chasm to jump over. This one is still super easy. After another evil squirrel is followed by a slightly longer chasm but still it is rather easy. Pick up the second STAR (3/5). After the bee you have a slightly trickier jump that involves aiming to jump on the falling leaf and then across to the other side, and both sides of this are guarded by a squirrel. You can also do a dashing jump instead. Moving along you will eventually reach a ledge high up. To reach the third STAR (4/5) jump down to kill the bee and then jump back left for it and a nearby mushroom. You can jump back up from here and continue if you prefer. After the next gap you can find a leaf and the last STAR (5/5). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 2: The River Smurf G0320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This level is a lot different and in my opinion a lot harder! Control your smurf on the log and do not get stuck. This is the most tricky part to get used to and the first couple of logs are already tough to get by. It gets a little easier later because you can move the log more in the center of the screen but more enemies will come too. Pick up the first STAR (1/5) at the beginning and also get the SMURF at the bottom. After a few logs you will a couple of sharks. Stay at the top for another STAR (2/5) and from then on it is pretty much a slalom through the logs. You will know for sure. Get a couple of STARs (3/5) (4/5) on the way and you can find other stuff too. Towards the end you have to be careful not to overshoot the final STAR (5/5). To reach it you have to steer up as soon as you pass the last log. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 3: The Bridge G0330 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run along and notice that bridge will collapse at the end. Jump on the bird and then quickly to another one as it will descend otherwise. You can use quick jump to raise the bird up again. Grab the STAR (1/5) up in the air and move on. From the next bird you need to jump up on the bridge again but as you might have guessed the left part will collapse as well. Dash across the bridge (yes, more parts will collapse, yawn) and jump down to the logs. I find it safer than the birds and all stars can be jumped to, like the STAR right at the beginning (2/5). Another STAR (3/5) is high up in a short while. First ignore the upcoming bird and find another STAR (4/5) underneath the bridge. Return to the bird and when it flies to the right quickly jump on it and reach the bridge, then quickly reach the safe spot on this bridge. Most parts collapse here, and if you must have the STAR (5/5) here you must drop down and super quickly dash jump over the right side. It might look impossible at first but it is doable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 4: THE SWAMPS G0340 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This level basically involves jumping from frog head, to leaf and to vine and so on. You can reach the vines only if you press UP nearby. It might take a couple of deaths to get used to this. Grab the vines and reach a STAR (1/5) soon. Another STAR (2/5) is high up next to a vine soon enough. Meet your new friend the water strider as you continue, and find another STAR (3/5) along the vines, and another one next to a frog head (4/5). The final STAR (5/5) is on the home stretch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: Snake G03B1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The snake will crawling on one of the sticks. Avoid it for now. When it comes back into the screen it will raise its head. This is when you want to jump on top of it. Should you not be close enough to jump on then forget it as it will only be vulnerable for a short time. After three times it will be dead. Collect the key and walk to the bottom right to release Brainy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 5: The Sarsaparilla Fields G0350 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new enemy, the spider appears. It cannot be killed to you must jump over it. There are a couple of leafs guarded by water drops in the bottom left. To get the first STAR (1/5), stand on the leaf and dash jump off it as soon as you have collected it. Soon when you get the choice to go up or down, there is another STAR (2/5) below the leafy platform. Meet the hedgehog. You cannot kill him either so avoid it while it is bouncing at the top of the area. For the next part you must jump up using the leaf. Find a smurf at the bottom after this, and continue to find a STAR (3/5) in the first of two hedgehog chambers. When you reach the springboard I suggest you practice a little of how to jump high off it because right now there are no enemies around. Another STAR can be found in an upcoming chamber (4/5). Soon will be the toughest part of the level. Two springboards consecutively, and water dripping beside them. For the final STAR (5/5) make sure you jump off the top of the ledge into the exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 6: The Mountains G0360 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main difference to the previous sidescrolling levels is that you are now moving up. It is still just one screen so nothing too complicated. Watch out for boulders dropping as you walk underneath them. After reaching the first STAR (1/5) you will find no way up, but actually you can walk left off screen and reach a new area. This is a simple walk without enemies but chasms so reach the high ledge this way. Let the boulder drop before attempting to ride the bird, then grab the STAR (2/5) and reach the higher ledges. A bridge will prevent you from dropping aaaaaaall the way down so this is almost like a checkpoint now. Reach the higher ledges, let the boulder drop down again a ride the bird across to the leafs if you want to, or just to the top left. This really is a checkpoint as dying will continue from here on. Avoid the boulders that roll towards you but do no expect an ape at the top of the level. When you reach a bridge you could run left but it is very tricky to only drop half of the bridge to reach the smurf, then jump back on the other parts to safety. Might as well not try and save a life. Anyway, find a STAR (3/4) hidden half away off the left of the screen, the another one left near the exit (4/4). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 7: The Flight On A Stork G0370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This side-scrolling stork-riding level is rather easy to explain. Almost all the items are found at the bottom of the screen so I will not list all five STAR locations here. Avoid the birds flying around and the vultures swooping in to drop a nut. Apart from that just stay in the center to have enough room to escape any dangers ahead, and try to be a little lower for the cloud's thunderbolts. Oh, and the last STAR is actually at a cloud further up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 8: The Old Gold Mine G0380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are stuck in a mine cart thus you will always be moving. You can use the LEFT button to slow down and Button 2 to jump. Jumping is what you need to do first thing else you will race right into a water drop. Stay at the top for now, then at the second choice use the lower track to reach a STAR (1/5). Continue on and again stay at the lower track to reach another STAR (2/5), then quickly jump to the track above for yet another STAR (3/5). As you reach the top after this you will have a choice, picking the top one is deadly since it goes right into the wall. A STAR (4/5) can be found high up on the next track but you can also jump from the lower track to reach it, but then you must also avoid the boulder coming towards you. The final STAR (5/5) is found just in front of the exit and I think it is rather hard to avoid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 9: Inside the Volcano G0390 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tough level. The lava will constantly rise and you have to be pretty fast not to die instantly once it caught up to you. Go up on the left side and use the trampoline to reach the top right STAR (1/5). Quickly run left and go up the left side. Note that the small platforms will drop once you stand on them, and rather quickly too. A STAR (2/5) can be found on the way up. When you reach a section where both sides meet again, go up on the right side to reach and stay on the left side of it to reach another STAR (3/5), but keep enough platforms so you can continue up on the right side. At the top you can find a STAR (4/) in the center, just do not trap yourself by running over the platforms all at once. The next part is the toughest part, as you are probably about to die from the lava and the trampoline jump must be perfect. You can actually land a little bit within the wall on the left side, might be a glitch, so you do not have to reach the top all the way. Once you make it, Use the right trampoline to not only collect the last STAR (5/5) but also exit out at the top of the screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss: Dragon G03B2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dragon fires fireballs at you. Your aim is to hit it with the gift boxes. Just hitting the platform in front if him will damage him too so you can reach it by jumping off the second platform from your position and dropping it with the Button 1. Picking up is done by ducking by the way. The main problem is that the fireball will engulf a platform in fire once it hits it. There are two ways to get rid of the fire. The first one is wait, although the dragon might continue to fire at you and it will stay in flames. The second is have another platform on fire because only one can be at the same time. To switch the fire, jump up so the dragon aims at you higher, then jump on the first one and try to wait it out from here. Usually what happens is that the dragon will stop firing for a while, for whatever reason, or the fireballs will hit the red rock in front of him and bounce off. I think the latter is a glitch that can occur. Nevertheless, drop three "gifts" and he will be gone, then the parcel turns into a key. You are not done yet as you must take the key to the cage platform to free Jokey. To reach it, jump to the dragon's head from the higher platform and over to the cage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 10: The Sledge Race G03A0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will constantly move in this level, but you can slow down by holding the Left direction. Picking up the (S) icons will give you a short boost. Describing the STAR location is a little tricky since you will be going so fast. I suggest you just concentrate on not dying. Getting hit by an enemy will result in you jumping up and that often leads to falling into the abyss. This is rather short level after all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 11: The Cliff G03B0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh look, a log. An annoying rotating log! You need to constantly jump because once it rotates and you are not moving it will just drop you off. Once you know the rhythm it is not that hard. Avoid the hedgehog up and collect the first STAR (1/5) too. Grab the smurf icon and second STAR (2/5) and get ready for another log ride. During this one you will find a STAR (3/5) and another one at the end of it (4/5). Another log and another STAR (5/5) and that is already the end of it. Rather easy once you know how the log thing works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT 12: Gargamel's Manor House G03C0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the toughest level in the game. You will always have Azriel patrol the bottom part and there are lots of bees and a new enemy: the potted plant. Start by getting the STAR (1/5) at the bottom and then jumping back up via the vase plus trampoline. Pick up the gift box and drop it on Azriel. Get past the book case (another bomb here) and jump up to the STAR (2/5). Back up, then the next jump has to land in-between the plants right on the green vase, continuing from there and then jump over the next plant but only as far as the end of the shelf. Do a tiny dash jump towards the top left to grab the third STAR (3/5). Watch out for the pot (it hurts) and then jump onto the red vases on the floor for safety. Use the trampoline on the left to reach the top and use the gift box to bomb Azriel once again. He is gone now, although this entirely optional. Continue on, find a STAR (4/5) on the way and then the last one just before you exit the screen left (5/5). In this section, avoid the red tomatoes. It is not easy but there is not much strategy to it. Just wait for the tomato to his in front of you, then get by it, wait for the next, and so on. You have to reach the very top and it is not too long. Nothing else here, do not bother with the mushrooms, okay? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS: Gargamel G03B3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually super east once you figure out how to attack him (kind of obvious) and then how this part works in the game. First off Gargamel will come towards you and one touch is enough to kill you. A vulture will drop a nut every time it passes by, always aiming for you. You have already noticed that seesaw. Your goal is to have the nut drop onto the left side of it and you jump on the right side. The main problem here is that you must stand on the very far left side of the seesaw to have it positioned correctly, else it will just drop down. You can also already jump onto the right side while it is almost in place to have it slammed into Gargamel. After three nuts he is already a goner and you can free Smurfette (all done automatically this time). CONGRATULATIONS! Your courage and bravery has thwarted Gargamel's evil plans! =============================================================================== 04.) BONUS LEVELS G0400 =============================================================================== Every so often you will get a bonus stage. You can find leafs, berries and also smurf icons. Time will run out after 15 seconds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bubbles G0410 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It involves jumping on the pipe to create a bubble and floating up to collect items. As the screen says, you want to avoid the butterflies as the pop your bubble. Reaching the top of the screen has the same effect. If that has happened you can create a new bubble at the pipe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dam G0420 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pick a side and jump up to collect all the stuff. Only one side has the smurf icon which you most likely want to find first so if you got the wrong side you can only change very early in the stage else you will get caught up with the rising water. Nice to know your smurf died eh... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mushrooms G0430 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will fall down from the top and hit mushrooms to slow your descend. Grab items along the way but you can only pick one path and once you drop out the bottom of the screen the bonus game is already over. =============================================================================== YY.) VERSION HISTORY GYY00 =============================================================================== v1.0 First release (28th of September 2012) v1.1 Second release (31st of October 2019), so yes these old guides get an update once in a while but that's mainly due to fellow gamer paladincecil68 sending me a tip where the missing star from the first level can be found. Great stuff!! Also I fixed a couple of typos while scanning through the guide. =============================================================================== ZZ.)
