INTRODUCTION G0100 =============================================================================== Welcome to 'The Great Waldo Search' for the SNES, a puzzle game released in 1993 by THQ. This is almost the same game as on the NES and Genesis consoles. Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy! =============================================================================== 02.) BASICS G0200 =============================================================================== After inserting the gamepack and switching on the SNES, press START to begin the game. Choose either Normal level, Expert level or Super Waldo Challenge. Normal is for beginners, Expert has the objects better hidden away and Super Waldo Challenge is for finding a specific Waldo out of a lot of them. Controls: ````````` Controller 1: START - Pause/Unpause SELECT + START - Reset A/B - Select items on screen. X/Y - Faster magnifying speed. D-Pad - Move the magnifying glass around. Controller 2: (for parents to help out) A - Move to screen with Waldo. B - Turn off the timer. Basics: ``````` One needs to find certain items on the screen to complete a level. These items include: Scrolls - Required to complete the level. Waldo - Required to complete the level. Clocks - Time and point bonus. Point banners - Point bonus. Woof (dog) - Bonus mini-game (see below). After picking up the two main items, the icons at the bottom of the screen will change. Waldo, for example, will smile after being found, and the scroll unroll. Waldo will also start wearing a shoe in the last stage of the game. Woof: ````` When you have found Woof in a stage, the game is changed to a side-scrolling magic carpet ride. In this mini-game one should try and collect as many of the bones as you can by moving the carpet up and down as it flies along. You can also move forwards and backwards as required. Each bone is worth 150 points. When this mini-game is completed you are returned to the stage you were playing, exactly as you left it. Time: ```` Each stage is timed. You must complete it before the time runs out. By picking up clocks the timer is extended. On Expert you can only freeze time for a certain amount instead. After losing a life, the stage will have some extra time to help you complete it this time around. On Expert mode there are also some special clocks to freeze the timer for finding a bonus item. In this case, whitebeard will show you a scroll with a certain item that can be found on the current screen, e.g. "Man with three legs". The time will freeze, and you may find this bonus item before it restarts the main game. You cannot move around the stage as this is going on, but you won't have to either. Making wrong selections instead of clicking on icons (e.g. Waldo, clock) results in time to be taken off from the clock. The time left after completing the level adds to your total score, including left over clocks. Score: `````` Finding banners with points on them adds to the total score. Finding Waldo or the scroll is worth 1,000 points each. The Woof mini-game can yield up to 3,750, meaning the each bone is worth collecting 150 points. The time and clocks left at the end of a stage complete the scoring. Tips: ````` Find and collect clocks first, they make it much easier to search the rest of the area. Waldo, Woof and the scroll have set locations where they are hidden. If you have previously played the game, try looking in the location it was found last time before you do anything else. Of course if you see them on the way then the situation has changed. The Woof mini-game is very easy, gives you lots of points, doesn't take any time away from the main game and also gives you a few seconds to search the screen while the points are being added. If you aren't playing for points, ignore Woof. Similarly, the extra clocks on Expert mode also enable you to search the area for other items, apart from the bonus point one. Finally, don't randomly select items on screen, as they result in a time penalty. Only click when you are sure the magnifying glass is pointing at something important. Versions: ````````` The game was also released on the NES and Genesis. They should be nearly identical and using this guide for them is most likely not a problem. I haven't tested this fully yet though. =============================================================================== 03.) WHERE'S WALDO? G0300 =============================================================================== It seems that Waldo's good friend, the wizard Whitebeard has lost five magic scrolls in the Realms of Enchantment. He asks Waldo if can locate the scrolls for him before it's too late! Well, our globetrotting hero can't resist a challenge, so he takes his trusty canine companion Woof along on their new adventure! Now it's up to YOU to spot Waldo and the missing scrolls as well as bonus points and much more! So keep a sharp lookout for fun in this colorful fantasy for the whole family! Normal and Expert modes feature four areas to play. You can pick them in any order. Land of the Gargantuas: ``````````````````````` A medieval setting, giants attacking a fortress of human knights, or barbarians would be a more accurate description. Water Monks vs. Fire Druids: ```````````````````````````` As the name suggests, a horde of Water Monks are battling praying Fire Druids, each using their magic element to attack. Waldo sure likes to blend into the red sea of Fire Druids. Kingdom of the Carpet Flyers: ````````````````````````````` An Arabian rooftop area with lots of people standing around, looking out of windows or even flying around on their magic carpets. The Enchanted Underground: `````````````````````````` A bunch of guys are running scared from fire-spewing dragons. These are some underground caves. Super Waldo Challenge: `````````````````````` After finishing a normal or expert stage the game will return to the selection screen for another challenge. After all four stages have been completed, the next one will be the Super Waldo Challenge. In this mode one is asked to find the Waldo out of many Waldo's, that is missing a shoe. When you have found this guy, select the red and white striped sock. There is also a scroll required to finish the game and you don't get any clocks to extend time but instead start out with more than in the previous stages. Hooray! You have returned Wizard Whitebeard's five scrolls. =============================================================================== ZZ.)
