What's New -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Version 1.0 (12/9/04): The first complete version of this FAQ. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 2. Introduction -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Yoshi's Safari is probably the most popular game using the Super Scope gun for the SNES. It takes you through Jewelry Land, where you can fight familiar enemies from the Mushroom Kingdom. The Koopalings and Bowser make an appearance as you would expect. The later stages can get tough, but it is a lot of fun to follow the automatic path and blast your way through the many different stages. If you enjoy big and colorful landscapes, this will be right up your alley! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 3. Story -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jewelry Land, a peaceful land ruled by King Fret and his son, Prince Pine, was named for the kingdom's greatest treasure: a set of twelve magic gems. These magic gems had protected the land from natural disasters for all time. Then one day, Bowser and the Koopalings moved in, stole the twelve magic gems and kidnapped both the king and the prince. The earthquake that resulted from the theft of the jewels split the kingdom into two parts, a Light Realm and a Dark Realm. The Koopas held King Fret captive in the Light Realm and Prince Pine prisoner in the Dark Realm. Prince Pine's friend, Princess Peach heard the news and asked for help from Mario and Yoshi. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 4. Controls -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NOTE: This game uses the Super Scope accessory to play, so make sure you have it properly set up before turning on your console. Fire Button: Shoot at the screen (switch the power to turbo for faster shots; it's a requirement) Cursor Button: Jump ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 5. Walkthrough -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ======= Stage 1 ======= A fairly simple area to start off in. The trail is simple, with only Goombas and Koopa Troopas flying at you. It should be fairly easy to pick them off, even in groups. At the first path split, shoot the gate to take the right path. Shortly after that gate, you'll reach your first dash panel. You'll be directed onscreen to jump when you reach it; do so with the Cursor Button to launch over the gap. If not, you'll take damage as you run across it. Remember this move since you'll be doing this often. Up ahead, a yellow ? box will appear; shoot it for a Fire Flower. Up ahead is a Hammer Bro, so defeat him by shooting him of course, while knocking away his hammers. After the fight, hit the blue ? box for a Nut. Up ahead, hit the second yellow ? box for a Power-Up Mushroom to restore your health. The first battle will ensue. This armored Koopaling looks like he has several vulnerable targets. The only one, however, is the circular target under his mouth. Shoot away the boss's shots, while you try and constantly pound that center target with your gun. After enough hits, you will destroy the armor, leaving the Koopaling himself visible. So, hit him directly with your shots this time when he pops out of hiding. If your aim is good, you can even hit the top of his head for damage when he's trying to hide from you. Continue this barrage until you win. ======= Stage 2 ======= For this rugged stage, it's much of the same from your first romp, but with a more steady onslaught of enemies. Just keep shooting down the flying Goombas and Koopas until you reach the path split. For this stage, the path you take really doesn't matter. On the left side, you'll deal with fireballs and shells on the ground; to the right will be fireballs, Koopas, and small white plants that hop around on the ground. Shortly after this, you'll reach the end of the line. This boss fight is a bit simpler than Stage 1, I think. Mainly because the target is a giant red shell on its back, which you'll see as the Koopaling moves around in a circular motion shooting back at you. Just keep targeting that shell and shooting it constantly, occasionally knocking away the shots being fired back. For the second part, the boss will grow 2 glowing hands; shoot each of them until they disappear, then the final target will open up in the center. This target will shoot at you, so have your aim set for that spot so when it opens to shoot, you can hit it with your own shots. Keep this up for a little bit longer, and you will prevail. ======= Stage 3 ======= Your initial onslaught will be that of blue Koopas in the air. As you turn the corner, you'll find the first of two possible gates. If you go left, you'll face no more splits, but a dash panel and some ground enemies, as well as a yellow ? box with a coin inside. If you take the first branch to the right, you'll be presented with a second split shortly after. The left side of that gives nothing, whereas the right side will give you more flying Koopas and a 1-Up (via the yellow ? box). Regardless of your route, you'll face a Boomerang Bro ahead. Take him down while shooting away his projectiles when you can. Take the Clock from the blue box at the end and continue on. Collect the Power-Up Mushroom from the second box, then you'll meet the boss. The female Koopaling you'll face here isn't really that hard to beat, just time-consuming if anything. There are 4 pipes she could pop out of, tossing a bomb at you before going back into hiding. You cannot damage her directly, however. An anvil will float overhead, stopping momentarily above each pipe. When it's above her, shoot at it to make it fall, thus causing damage. Do this 3 times and you'll win this fight. ======= Stage 4 ======= This beach stage starts you off with a small wave of white plant enemies on the ground ahead. After you round the second corner though, the constant stream of Koopas and Goombas will ensue, so be ready! Up ahead is a yellow ? box with a Super Star inside. At the end of the path, you'll fall into the water (no way around this). In the underwater section, you'll face several waves of Cheep-Cheeps and Bloopers swimming around, so shoot them down. A yellow ? box with a coin inside will fly by too. Up ahead will be a mini-boss of sorts: a pot-like creature which sends small octopus enemies running at you. Shoot at this thing enough to defeat it, while taking the time to clear the small enemies as well. Up ahead is a gate; the direction you go doesn't matter since both have yellow boxes with Power-Up Mushrooms inside. Up ahead you'll meet this level's Koopaling guardian. Despite the level being very drawn-out, this boss is actually quick and easy to beat. It floats around in a round container, shooting at you from its 2 cannons. Your target is the blue object in the center. Shoot that enough and the front panel will be cleared away, leaving the Koopaling vulnerable. He will now rush back and forth across the screen, shooting at you. Whenever you see him, shoot away to cause damage. After a few good rounds of this, you should have this battle won. ======= Stage 5 ======= For this stage, you will face off against loads of missile enemies being sent your way. After them, you'll deal with more Goombas and Bob-ombs parachuting in. Get a single coin from the yellow box, then run on the dash panels and jump over the huge gap. Note that if you don't make it, you'll be sent back and will have to make it eventually. After the first jump, you can get a 1-Up Mushroom from a box, then another jump. Following that gap, you'll face Spinies and flying Goombas. A Sledge Bro will be ahead, so let loose with your shots to clear the way. Collect the Nut from the blue box, and continue onward. You'll run across some dash panels on the ground, sending you backwards for a time to defeat the enemies. Up ahead is a Power-Up Mushroom in a box. Make the leap across the last 2 gaps, then you'll meet the boss. The Koopaling here hides in an armored frog with a hat. There are 2 targets on the sides which shoot at you; blast them enough to clear them. The frog will be hopping around as you do this, shooting at you, so beware. After you clear the first 2 targets, the frog will shoot from its mouth every now and then. When the Koopaling finally opens the hat and comes out, blast him as much as possible. With luck, you'll be able to finish him off after a few appearances. ======= Stage 6 ======= Starting off, you'll be facing flying fish, parachuting Bob-ombs, green shells on the ground, and then flying Koopas. Up ahead are the dash/jump panels; jump at that point and you'll have flying Goombas to deal with. Past those is a gate; if you go right there is nothing, so you may as well stay to the left. Defeat the Boomerang Bro you meet and get the Clock from the blue box. Up ahead, hit the yellow box for a Power-Up Mushroom. When the paths rejoin, dash jump over the final gap and you'll get the boss warning as usual. This fight pits you against the Koopaling inside a giant metal squid. It moves around, stopping every now and then to shoot at you. The only spots you can hit are the 2 joints where the tentacles attach to the body. Once you destroy those two, the boss will now move around and jump out of the water to shoot you with its bottom tentacles. Shoot at those when the boss jumps until you destroy them, then the fight will be over easily. ======= Stage 7 ======= In this castle-themed area, you'll have lots of enemies to face with. They include Spinies, fireballs, and those missile enemies. You'll also have a bunch of those gaps to jump over, and the dash panels speeding you along (be careful and make sure you can eliminate the enemies faster, too). Hit the yellow ? box along the way to get the Fire Flower, which should make your Power meter extend to its maximum point now. Up ahead, make it over another long jump, then you'll drop off the path into the boss area. This hot-air balloon will be the last Koopaling's contraption. There will be 3 targets you can shoot at: the two bomb-flinging arms and the target under the basket. You may want to clear the arms first to eliminate the dangerous bombs being tossed your way. After you clear the 3 targets, the boss will change colors and continue flying around. This time, the Koopaling will come out of the basket every now and then, so shoot him then. It won't take too many shots to dispose of him, but watch out for the 6 cannons now on the balloon itself. Upon completion of the 7 initial stages, you will witness a cutscene with the king of Jewelry Land. He will be grateful you recovered the 7 gems, but asks you to rescue his son, Prince Pine, from the Dark Realm. This means you have another set of levels to get through, so get going! ======= Stage 8 ======= Starting off, follow the path while blasting the Koopas out of the air. At the gate, you can either go left or right as usual. Both sides give you the same thing pretty much, except the left side can net you a single coin from a yellow box. Both sides also presents a blue fireball chain to fight. Blast at it constantly to cause its segments to disband and come after you. Then you can shoot them to kill instantly. After you beat this, take the Power-Up Mushroom (boss-only item) and move on. Hop across a couple sections of the path when you reach the jump panel (there will be NO onscreen warning this time, so you have to time it yourself by the sounds). Up ahead is the boss. Here you will be up against a Magikoopa. He will appear to shoot his spell at you, then warps to another spot and repeats. Shoot him when visible to cause damage. After a while of doing this, Magikoopa will become giant-sized and repeats the same process over. So, just keep shooting at him to win here. ======= Stage 9 ======= For the first part of this stage, you'll have to deal with Boos flying at you. Shoot at them and they will attempt to hide (more like covering their faces); continue doing this to get past safely. There will also be fireballs you can shoot at. Hop over the first section of track when you reach the panel, then continue ahead to a path split. The right side has you facing fireballs only, but you only get a coin from the yellow flying box. The left path, albeit harder and more annoying with the Boos, you'll get a Power-Up Mushroom from all that. Up ahead will be some small plant enemies, then you'll drop into a hole. For this stage's second part, you'll deal with more of those plant creatures, as well as fireballs. Jump when you reach the proper panel to make it over the pit. Be careful as you turn around the sharp corner ahead, since there is another jump panel waiting for you, followed by a dash panel and a second jump panel when you land. Make it through that and you'll have to face a Lakitu mini boss. Shoot at him often, taking a break only to kill off the Spinies he sends your way. When you beat Lakitu, shoot the blue box to get a Power-Up Mushroom for the boss fight. Follow the path after this across several dash and jump panels, while shooting the Boos in your way. Hit the first box to get a Super Star, and the second one for a Power-Up Mushroom. Fall down the hole at the end to meet the boss. Your boss, as you would expect, is Big Boo. He will simply float around with his face covered, occasionally, uncovering it. This is when the boss is vulnerable to attack, so blast him whenever you see an opening. Be sure to shoot down the flying bricks coming from the background, too. After you hurt Big Boo enough, he will split into 3 smaller Boos flying in a cluster. They will appear and each will have a different expression. Your target is the one with its tongue sticking out. Hit that one several times and you will win the fight shortly after. ======== Stage 10 ======== Start along your path here, defeating the flying Goombas once again. At the path split, shoot at the gate and follow the right path. Hit the first yellow box for a coin, then you'll reach a mini battle versus a Sledge Bro. Defeat him and break the blue box to get a Super Star for the boss fight later on. Continue along the road, shooting through fireballs and the second yellow box for a Power-Up Mushroom. Up ahead you'll have to deal with some torpedoes, and then you'll meet the boss. This time around, your boss is Charging Chuck. As the name would imply, this guy charges back and forth, stopping momentarily to throw 2 bombs your way. He's a fast mover, so be quick to shoot down his bombs, and then concentrate your shots on him. Every now and then, he will jump in the air to throw a bomb, then will land elsewhere. This battle is actually VERY easy, so you should have little to no problem finishing this guy quickly. ======== Stage 11 ======== For this rather straightforward level, you'll have a variety of enemies in your way. They range from flying fish to Bloopers, to small plants and flying Koopa Troopas. Defeat all of those, then break the yellow box on the way to get a Power-Up Mushroom. Jump across a series of pits when you reach those panels. At the end of this simple path, you'll meet the boss: a Koopa Troopa tank. To defeat this tank boss, you must take aim at the Koopa Troopa piloting the top half. Constantly barrage him with shots, recharging when the tank sinks underwater for a moment. Shoot away the cannon fire when you can and attack the Koopa until the top half of the shell disappears. For the second half, there will be 3 cannons on the body, and the tank Koopa's head will be on the bottom. When the head opens its mouth, that's when it's able to take damage, so keep this in mind when defending yourself from cannon shots. Blast the head whenever you see it rise up and open, and you'll have this won easy. Once you beat stages 8-11, you will gain access to Bowser's Castle (stage 12) which will be the final stage to play through. ======== Stage 12 ======== In this final stage, you begin by blasting through flying Goombas and fireballs, followed by Koopa Troopas. They're all simple as you know, so you shouldn't worry about getting through it. Shoot the first yellow box to get a coin if you want. At the path split, it's advised you take the right side by shooting the gate. If you go left, you'll face many fireballs and flying Goombas, as well as the dash/jump panels, but you only get 2 coins from the yellow boxes. However, if you take the right spur, you'll get a wider variety of enemies, including Mechakoopas (shoot them to disable and then run past). The 2 yellow boxes you find flying across here will net you a coin and a Power-Up Mushroom. There are also trickier turns with dash/jump panels, so be ready for that, and for the enemies you face immediately after landing. When the path rejoins, continue onward while blasting the torpedoes being shot your way. Hit the next yellow box to get a 1-Up Mushroom. After dealing with some more Mechakoopas and fireballs, you'll drop into a hole to the second area. Down here, go forward to fight a Hammer Bro first. Hit the blue box that he leaves behind to get a Big Coin (worth 10 regular coins); please note that all the mini bosses you'll see here drop these. Hit the yellow box that appears shortly afterward for a Power-Up Mushroom. The second fight is against a Boomerang Bro. Get the Big Coin, then a regular coin from the yellow box afterward. The third fight will be against Lakitu; shoot down this cloud guy and the Spinies dropped at you. Shoot the following yellow box to get another Power-Up Mushroom, then continue onward. The Sledge Bro will be your next opponent; beat him and collect the Big Coin, then another Power-Up Mushroom. Up ahead will be a blue fireball chain. Shoot at its segments until the flames become orange, then shoot them again to clear them. Beat this creature and shoot the blue box to get the Power-Up Mushroom for the boss fight ahead. Shoot the final yellow box to get yet another Power-Up Mushroom, then drop into the hole to meet your final boss. Of course, the final boss is against Bowser. The first phase of the battle puts Bowser in an entirely armored body, with two cannon arms. Shoot away the shots being fired at you, then shoot directly at the cannons replacing his hands. When you cause one to be bandaged up, move to the other hand. When you destroy them both, Bowser's plated stomach will open, revealing a third cannon. Also, cannonballs will be shot from his head, so watch out. When the stomach plate opens up, shoot into the cannon to cause damage. After a while, you will destroy the cannon and the entire armored body, leaving Bowser to fend for himself. For the second part of this fight, Bowser will use his two hands to throw Koopa Shells at you. Shoot them away and concentrate on blasting his hands to bandage those up too. After you clear the hands, he will start to shoot 3 fireballs at a time from his mouth. The final target is in his mouth, but it can be very hard to miss. Just aim for the open point of his mouth where you can see into his throat, and let loose with your gun. Doing this will effectively clear the fireballs being shot your way too. After a while of shooting his mouth, Bowser will fall in defeat. You will once again meet with Prince Pine, who will thank you for restoring peace to Jewelry Land, etc. The game will now end, so congratulations on beating this fun game! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 6.
