Credits 001-General Information ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a walkthrough for the Windows game called Putt-Putt Joins the Parade, which is one of the various Putt-Putt games that exist. Putt-Putt is a friendly car who has big adventures, like going to the moon or traveling through time. This game contains the more domesticated adventure of joining the parade, but I'll bet that Putt-Putt will have a great time anyway!

He makes friends with everyone, is always ready to help out someone with a problem, and says catchphrases such as "Hot ziggity!". Smokey the Fire Engine: Smokey is the fire chief, who wants everyone to know that only YOU can prevent forest fires. No, wait, that's a different Smokey. The Smokey in this game is in charge of the parade, and you need to fulfill his requirements to be in the parade. Mr. Baldini: The Italian grocery store owner. Putt-Putt can deliver groceries for him. Toy Store Owner: An Irish woman owns the toy store, and she tells you that Mrs. Airbag has all the balloons, which is exactly one balloon, if you bother to count them all. Mrs. Airbag: She has all the balloons. She's seeing a movie (a drive-in movie, of course) with her son, Baby Beep. Baby Beep: Mrs. Airbag's son, he is little and lost at the movies. Putt-Putt's gotta save him! Pep: Putt-Putt finds a puppy and names it Pep. That's good for him, because Putt-Putt needs a pet to be in the pet parade. Ms. Rearview Mirror: She lives at #1 Red Street. Mr. Fenderbender: He lives at #2 Red Street, and sounds suspiciously like Don Knotts. Jacques: A French car that lives at #3 Red Street. Mr. Parts and Service: He lives at #4 Red Street. Buster E. Buggy: An old car (Olds-mobile?) who lives at #1 Green Street. Clarence: A rather boring car who lives at #2 Green Street. Tami Torpedo: A flashy car that lives at #3 Green Street. Mr. Fender: The car that lives at #4 Green Street. Trixie: The car that lives at #1 Blue Street. Bronco: The raging buck of a car that lives at #2 Blue Street. Mrs. Bumper: The car who lives at #3 Blue Street. Gert: The car who lives at #4 Blue Steet. 003-Walkthrough ----------------------------------------------------------- The game starts with sunrise and a bird flying to Putt-Putt's garage. Putt-Putt wakes up and decides to turn on his radio to see what's happening in town today. Hey, there's a parade! The Cartown Pet Parade to be exact. Putt-Putt doesn't have a pet... Say, let's go downtown and talk to Smokey the Fire Engine, who's running the parade. Maybe he can let Putt-Putt in the parade anyway! Pick up the coin (which is below the oil can) and leave the garage. Travel down the roads here, and eventually, you run into a cow, which blocks the road. That's not nice of the cow! Honk Putt-Putt's horn to get the cow out of the way, and Putt-Putt drives into town. Smokey is glad to see Putt-Putt is ready to sign up for the parade, but there's a few things he needs to do first. First of all, he needs a carwash, which means Putt-Putt has to earn money (2 coins) in order to pay for it. Putt-Putt can get money by delivering groceries for Mr. Baldini, or by mowing lawns (Smokey loans Putt-Putt a lawn mower). Smokey, at the end of this cutscene, tells Putt- Putt where to mow lawns (either red street, green street or blue street). Putt-Putt also needs a balloon and a pet to be in the pet parade. Sounds like work, but Putt-Putt's up to the job. Putt-Putt goes back to the main square. Go to the toy store in the lower/left part of this area. Maybe the toy store has balloons. Go in, and the Irish car there lets you know that Mrs. Airbag has the balloons, and she took them and her son, Baby Beep, to the movies. "Thank you!" says Putt-Putt, who is strangely enthusiastic about that. Click the magnet in the store, and Putt-Putt takes it, saying that it's his. Go back to the main square. The building on the right is a gas station; if Putt-Putt's gas gauge (left of the steering wheel) is running low, come here to fill it up for free. You can finish the game without ever needing to do this, but you might have to, depending on how much driving you do. This is just FYI information. When you're in the main square and go to Mr. Baldini's grocery store, which is in the upper/right of the screen. Click on sliding doors to talk to Mr. Baldini. He offers to give you groceries to deliver. Choose yes (the nodding face) to accept the groceries, and Mr. Baldini gives you the address to deliver them to. The address is number one, two, three or four of red, green or blue street. There are, in all, twelve places where the groceries can go. If you forget where they go, click on the groceries and Putt-Putt tells you. Before going back to the main square, pick up a sack of the free birdseed here. Back in the main square, leave by going through the road that leads up (between Smokey's and Mr. Baldini's). This road leads to a busy intersection where cars are. Click on the traffic light to turn it green, which clears the road for Putt-Putt to go. Of the six roads going into this intersection, the three of them at the top of the screen are colored red, blue and green. Why, these must be the red, blue and green streets! Which street do you have to go down to deliver the groceries? Figure it out, then go down that street! Unfortunately, the road is blocked! If you're going down Red Street, there are nails all over the road! Use your magnet on the nails and continue going down the road. If you're going down Blue Street, a marching band is in the way. Play Putt-Putt's radio to make the band march away and continue going down the road. If you're going down Green Street, there are birds in the way. Use the birdseed on the birds, and continue down the road. Past the obstacles are the streets themselves. Each street has four numbered houses. Drive to the house you're delivering groceries to, then click on the garage door. When the occupant of the house comes out, click on the grocery bag to deliver the groceries. You get a coin for delivering groceries, which makes two coins. You'll need to earn another coin for mowing lawns. Go to the street that Smokey said needed mowing, and talk to the people there. Click on the lawn mower to get them to agree to let you mow their lawns. While mowing the lawn (click around the move Putt-Putt), he finds a bone, which could come in handy, so he keeps it. Mow the lawn for a while (you don't have to mow all of it) and leave through the exit at the bottom of the screen. You can mow the lawns of everyone else in the street, but by now you have three coins, which is all you need. Go back to the big intersection. Click on the traffic light to make it green, then go down the road leading to the right. Go all the way down this road to reach a mysterious cave. Go inside the cave. It's kind of creepy place with bats and whatnot. However, there's a puppy inside! Yay, he can be Putt-Putt's pet! Knick knack paddywhack (ie. give the dog a bone) and Putt-Putt calls the dog "Pep". Go back to the intersection and this time take the left path. You're at the movies. Mrs. Airbag is outside. Hey, Mrs. Airbag! She's the lady who bought the balloons from the toy store. Talk to her to learn her son is lost in the movie theater. Oh no! She gives you a picture of Baby Beep so you can find him. Go in the movie theater, where there are a lot of cars. Click on the one that is Baby Beep (that is the car that looks just like the picture). You might have to move right to see more rows of cars in order to find him. When you find Baby Beep, Putt-Putt says, "Baby Beep, I found you," you know, like we DON'T already know that. Baby Beep says, "Thanks Putt-Putt. I miss my mama." Aw... Mrs. Airbag gives Putt-Putt a balloon for rescuing Baby Beep. Go back to the main square of the town. When you're in the main square, you have two options. Putt-Putt needs to get clean. You can do this by going to the car wash or by getting a paint job. To get a carwash, go to the car wash in the lower/right part of the main square. It costs two coins to get into the car wash. Inside the car wash, you need to use all four machines (two nozzles on either side of an empty jar, a red brush and a vacuum on the far right). To get a paint job, go to the paint job place, which is at the left part of the main square. It costs three cents to get in. Once you do, choose a color and Putt-Putt gets painted. Once Putt-Putt is painted or washed, he is now ready for the parade, seeing as he has a balloon and Pep. Head to Smokey's, and he lets you be in the parade. We then get to see the parade. Move right along the cars and at the end you see Putt-Putt, leading the parade. The sun goes down and then the credits roll. Pop the balloons that show up during the credits if you want to. Wasn't that a fun adventure, kids? No? Well, that's probably because this is one of the really early Putt-Putt games. Perhaps you should try a more recent one, like Putt-Putt Travels Through Time. If you do, I recommend using my guide for that game to help you get through, because it is several times harder than this game is. 004-Credits ----------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is copyright of The Lost Gamer, 2005.
