FAQ ii. Disclaimer iii. Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i) FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Normally I would divide this section up, but I do not expect this to be more than a few paragraphs so you may just have to read to find things, because organization is not needed either... Let us call this: Where's Information! Hopefully you have at least heard of Where's Waldo before. The scenes of this game are taken directly from pages found in the book, though much smaller, usually only five or six television screens wide. The main objectives of every level are to find Waldo, a man with brown hair, glasses, blue pants, and striped red and white clothing. The other object you must always find is a scroll which the clumsy wizard. There are other objects you can find as well, including Waldo's dog, Woof. If you find Woof, you also get to do a bonus level. Other objects include clocks, some of which are mini-game finds and finally point value tiles! Now, what difficulty should you play... Normal: Clues from clocks are recited orally a few times. Expert: Clues are displayed via text only once. If you try to find something you are not supposed to, time is deducted from you! Here is what the controls do: D-Pad: Move the magnifying glass around the screen! A button - When the magnifying glass is hovering over an object you wish to "find" click this. If you are correct, you will get the item. If not, a buzzer will sound. B button - Hold this to make the scroll rate on the magnifying glass much better. C button - Pauses the game! Alright, now that we know all that, let's get the point values: Waldo: 1500 points Scroll: 1000 points 150 point tile: 150 points [duh!] Clock: 0 points Clock w/ clue: 100 points Finding the clue: 750 points Woof: 750 points Bones in Woof Mini-Game: 100 points each [2400 max] Extra time after finding Waldo & Scroll: 50 points per clock tick. 12 ticks per rotation. Extra rotations are gotten from finding clocks. This is where most of the points will come from. Here is a list of the levels as well as some of the clues in them. Unless otherwise noted, every level contains a Waldo, scroll, Woof, 150 point blocks, up to four clocks, and up to two clue clocks. --- Level 1: Monk Wars --- Picture: Water monk shooting water onto a red monk. Scene: Red Monks using fire to battle the Blue Monks using water. Items to find from clock clues: - 2 Headed Staff - Blue monk has it. - Short Staff - Blue monk near the top of the mountain has it, looks like Waldo's cane. - Red Monk with face - Red monk with his head really close to a cloud. - Red Monk firing water - A monk in red who is shooting blue water at a Blue Monk's shield! - Blue Monk tossing fire - A blue monk at the very bottom of the screen hurling a bit of fire at a crowd of red monks. - A pump on fire - bottom of the screen, two blue monks are near something burning, you can not tell it is a pump though. - Blue monk with three feet - he's holding a shield and a short cane. Middle of the screen height wise. - Red monk holding staff - Right side of the screen about three quarters of the way up, one of the many red monks has a cane. - Blue monk, blue shield - he's getting hit by fire from a red monk. --- Level 2: Arabia --- Picture: Man with turban on magic carpet.
