This one covers the SMS game known as Férias Frustradas do Pica Pau, a 2D platformer game released in South America, apparently based off the once-popular cartoon character Woody Woodpecker. This game was made by Sega and Tec Toy in 1996 for the Master System. In the sixteen years hence, not a single complete FAQ has been written for it, until now. I, along with other members of the GameFAQs FAQ Contributor boards, have taken it upon themselves to write at least one guide for every Sega Master System game out there. At the time of writing, after this game, that should make 10 left! ^_^ And, so, that's more or less how I came upon this came. Thanks for listening to my ramblin'; I hope you enjoy! =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Section Two: Version History **PICA_2** =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= v0.10 - One level completed. 12:07 AM 2/18/2013 Final - All six levels done. 12:45 AM 2/19/2013 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Section Three: Legalities **PICA_3** =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= This FAQ may not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

In the case of levels where you're flying or swimming, you can move in all four directions. ~ 1 Button: Attack with your beak. The direction of the attack defaults to the direction you're facing unless you specify with the D-Pad. ~ 2 Button: Jump. Use Left/Right to move in mid-air; however, you must already be moving horizontally before jumping to move left/right during the jump. In the case of boat-riding (like Fase/Level 4), you'll need to build up some speed before you can actually leap. ~ 1+2 Buttons: Use a paintbrush. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Section Five: Walkthrough **PICA_5** =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Note that using the 1 Button to attack is only effective on bosses. Thusly, whenever you see an enemy that is not past the end of the level, you may want to dodge past it, right? This doesn't occur in all levels, but it will in some of them. Also, regarding extra lives (the stickers with the Woody Woodpecker face), you cannot get more if the pause menu indicates that you have six remaining, or something like that - that's the maximum you can have at any given time. ================== Before the Game... ================== At the title screen, you have two options: ~ Inicia: Start the game. ~ Opcões: Enter the options menu. If you opt for the latter option, you'll have these options: ~ Modo : Seemingly the game difficulty. This seems to affect the damage enemies can do (higher on Fác.), and the ending of the game according to tim_roast. ~ Música: Sound test-like option for the sixteen background music themes. ~ Efeito: Sound test-like option for the twenty-one sound effects. Press the 1 Button to withdraw from this menu back to the title screen, where you can press the 1 Button to choose the desired option. ================ Fase 1 / Level 1 ================ Begin by jumping onto the ledge to the right. Avoid the enemy there, as you can't hurt him or most enemies. Continue right, past the acorn-throwing squirrel in the tree. Past another mole, who is near the blue irises, you'll find another tree. This, too, houses an acorn-throwing squirrel. You can go through the wall to the left and along the path, past a dog who will bite you, to what looks like an ice cream cone. This will heal you, so grab it. Return back outside of the wall, by the way you came here. Proceed further right of the tree and jump over the edge of the ledge - this will, you'll probably dodge the eagle that swoops down. Beware the squirrel in the tree below, then jump across the gap. Go up the stairs and along the linear path on the other side - the only feature around here is the dog. Past him, go down to ground level. Beware the tree squirrel here and go left and along the path. Jump over the gap and the mole to find a bag of money. Return to the tree squirrel and, when the path is clear, jump on across. Head up the stairs and past the mole on the other side - stop on the platform with the iris. Now, you need to carefully jump across that itty-bitty gap to the leftmost ledge of those to the right. Then jump onto the one above it and to the right, then to the dual-ledges to the right. (You can stand on them, as the gap between them is only half as wide as Woody Woodpecker.) Jump on the next ledge to the right, but beware the mole on it. At this point, you can see three paths going to the right. Jump right onto the top path and run along it, past a dog, for a weird arrow. Grab it and return to the mole ledge. Back there, dash - without jumping - off the ledge and you should land on the lowest of the three pathways. Stand on the small ledge at its left edge and leap onto the middle path. Head to the right along it, past a dog, for a sack of cash. Backtrack onto the lower path and go right along it, past yet another dog. Once you pass a second one, jump across the next gap, but make sure that tree squirrel doesn't toss an acorn in your path! On the other side, ascend the stairs and proceed to the right. Past a few more enemies on the ground, you'll find another three-path conundrum. Run along the top path if you want to see some sticker of Woody Woodpecker, though I can't seem to grab it. =/ Backtrack to the previous ledge if needed. Dash off of it and go along the path to find a health pickup past a dog. Go back to the left side of the ledge, stand on its left side, and jump across the gap. Go left, past the dog and over the gap, then grab the bag o' cash. Return to the small ledge from before and hop onto the middle path. Past another dog, climb the ledges. Jump into the gap here and run into the sign to get a nice li'l jingle, then get onto the ledge above. As before, beware of the squirrel. Past him, you'll find another set of ledges. Get on the small leftmost ledge, then onto the one above and to the right, then the dual-ledge to the right, then right another ledge. Once more, beware of mole. This time, dash onto the lowest of the three paths to the right. Go right past an enemy if you want to see a sticker of Woody Woodpecker, then jump from the small left ledge here onto the middle path above. Past the enemy here, you'll find another bag of cash. Go back to the aforementioned small ledge, then onto the ledge sequence to the left. Hop across them to the leftmost of them, then backtrack from there to the mole ledge. There, go along the top path. At the end, hop over the mole to find, lo and behold, another one of those three path things. -_-; Jump onto the high ledge to find a bag of cash past an enemy. Return to the mole ledge and dash right onto the lowest path. From the small left ledge, hop left and go through the wall to find a health pickup. Then go back to the small ledge and hop onto the middle one to find some arrow pickup past another enemy. Return once more to the small ledge and, from there, go right and past a few enemies. You'll soon find a tree squirrel. Carefully cross the gap to the right and ascend the stairs beyond. At the top, you'll probably see the Woody Woodpecker sticker below. Feel free to go through the wall left of the iris to reach it. Now, onto the ledge sequence to the right... Same pattern, same solution - leftmost ledge, ledge above, dual-ledge to the right. (I will note that you can instead hop along the lowest ledges to find some cash, then backtrack.) Here, go past the dog to finish the main level. ~~~ You'll then encounter the boss. He can be a pain in the butt at times, so why not return the favor? >:) As one might have guessed, your goal is to peck this guy in the rear end, via the 1 Button, several times until his health meter in the lower-right is emptied. This can usually be done by just jumping over the guy as he approaches and then turning around and ... *peck* *peck* *peck* The only thing to beware of, other than accidentally touching the guy, is his gun. You can usually just duck under or jump over the shots, so they're a relatively negligible problem. ================ Fase 2 / Level 2 ================ Throughout the course of the level, be prepared to NOT jump into the light fixtures. Apparently, you'll be zapped, and that'll often take a good chunk of your health bar off. Begin by pecking the bat flying around to the right, then proceed to the right for a bit. Proceed past the doorways as you go along, ignoring more and more doors and pecking more and more rats. Eventually, you'll find another doorway at the end with a metal grille on it - it's locked, so head to the left now and into the first open doorway you find. Defeat the rat to the right if you want, then proceed left past the next door. After pecking away a bat, you should see a key on the ground. Grab it and go through the first door to the right. Back on the first floor, go to the far right and through the locked door - the key will be used automatically as you press the Up Button on the D-Pad. Here, peck the rat into death or somethin', then grab the bag of cash and go through the next door to the left. On this floor, peck the nearby rat and go left. Head through the locked door. Peck the bat to the right and head right and through another doorway. Pick up the health pickup nearby, then proceed to the right and through another. Head right through there, past a peckable bat, to and through the next door. On this lower floor, go left and peck the rat, then continue on to find a key. Woo-hoo? Anyways, go back through the previous door, left through another, then continue left past the door you used earlier. Peck the rats as they come along and go through the next door you see. Peck the nearby rats before doing so, if you want. Down here, go right to find an extra life, then left, past the door you used, and through the locked one. Up here, go to the right for a bit and past a door to find a candy cane (health pickup) on the ground. Return left and through the door you passed earlier. Here on the top floor, go left, peck a rat, and go through the left door. Head left some more, past another rat, into another door. Peck the enemies down here and head to the right wall to find another of those triangular health pickups on the ground. Go back left and through the door, then right through another. Continue past the door you used earlier (the first one) and you'll soon find a bag of cash and a rat to peck. Continue to find a bat. Go through the door nearby. Down here, peck the nearby rat, then go right. Peck the bat here, then grab the bag of cash next to the wall. Go through the first door to the left and, back on the top floor, go left, peck the bat, and retrieve the key. Then go back through the door you just used. Continue along this hallway leftward, past some enemies, to find a locked door. Go through it. Then go right and through the next door you see. Defeat the rat to the left and continue to snatch some cash. Further left, there'll be a door, the first one you reach. Go through it and defeat the rat nearby, then go left to find an extra life. Go back through the door and left to find another locked door. Peruse it and go right. Defeat the rat and, as you approach the next locked door, you'll be teleported to the next area, the boss. ~~~ This boss is rather easy. The fight will all take place on the top floor of this area against the man clothed in blue. Each barrel here serves as a sort of doorway - jump in the barrel and press the Up Button on the D-Pad to be teleported into the other. Simply abuse this bit to get behind the blue man, jump out of the barrel, peck him in the rear end, and return to the barrel. Repeat as needed. When the boss has been defeated, jump into a barrel and press Up on the D-Pad again. This time, you'll be teleported into the lower-left barrel. Go to the barrel in the lower-right and jump in to rescue another friend! =================== Bônus / Bonus Round =================== The bonus round is rather simple. At the right side are three enemies who will toss things at you. Some of these can be good, such as food that will restore health, or extra lives that have an obvious purpose, or bags of cash. Some of these will also be rather bad for you, such as anvils and logs. This level will only end when you are hit by something bad, so you can take your time here to refill your health and lives. After being hit by an anvil or something like that, you won't be damaged - you will just head on to the next level. ================ Fase 3 / Level 3 ================ Part one of this level plays akin to a snowy alteration of the first level. Go to the right and past the dog near the tree. Continue right and peck the snowman to kill him, then jump at the bag of cash nearby. At the next tree, you need to cross this gap carefully. The dog nearby often likes to bite you, which will impede your jumping, often even bringing you into the pit nearby due to the "shove back" effect. What I did was on the rightmost ledge that was above the dog's platform's height, then jump right and held down the 2 Button. Past here, get onto the ski lift with the 1 Button. You can leave it by jumping if you see something appetizing down below, but you'll then need to backtrack across the narrow ledges to the ski lift again. (Also, in that case, you'll find some bear traps. So long as you jump quickly on then off, you'll be okay.) Along the way, you'll find an extra life, ice cream cone health pickup, then a bag of cash just before you get off. When you get off from the ski lift, jump to the right and land near the base of the tree further right. Jump across this gap like you did earlier. On the other side, head up the ledges and to the right. You'll soon find a bear trap - jump on and off of it, or over it, then peck the snowman in the head. Grab the bag of cash sitting on the cloud above and continue right. Once you jump over the dog (much simpler this time, no?), you'll find a problematic gap like before. However, this time, you'll deal with a bear trap and not a dog - therefore, it's quite easier. ^_^ Jump from the rightmost ledge like before to the edge of the bear trap's platform, then continue holding the 2 Button and Right on the D-Pad to jump across the gap. On the other side, you'll have to ride another ski lift. The concept here is the same as before - feel free to jump down for the various items, but note that you'll have to backtrack across the ledges to the ski lift again. In order, you'll find a health pickup (triangle), then a bag of cash. At the end of ski lift ride, jump down onto the rightmost ledge on the bottom - for some reason, the top one won't work. =/ ~~~ You'll then proceed to the second portion of the level. Not a boss yet, sorry. There, jump across the gap to the right and past the dog, onto the ledge to his right. As you run left from this ledge, jump onto the platform with the bear trap, then quickly onto the ledge above and to the right. It'll do some working, but it can be done. Then get on the next ledge above and to the left, then above and to the right from there. Ascend up one more ledge and, while on it, walk left through the wall to get a semi-hidden bag of cash. Return to the main ledge and go up and right, up and left, and up and right. From this platform with the iris, jump up and left onto the platform with the bear trap and QUICKLY get onto the next ledge above and to the right. This will definitely be a tough one to get but, again, it's completely doable. Then get on the ledge to the left of there. Continue up this small series of stair-like ledges to find an extra life, then get onto the ledge to the right, then to the up-left, then up-right to find a health pickup. Return to the previous ledge and get as far on it as you can, then jump onto the platform above. Get the bag of cash and jump onto the ledge to the right, then jump over the dog to head to the next ledge. Proceed right into the third portion of the level. ~~~ Is it just me, or does this feel like a certain level has been ripped off from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island? Well, whatever. You'll be riding some skis as you go down the mountain, pretty much leaving you with one action: to jump! Jump over the gaps -- this should be quite a simple concept to those having played the aforementioned game -- and just don't fall in the gaps. You should eventually fall in the gap at the very right side of the area, which should bring you to the final portion of the level. ~~~ Another pseudo-emulation of the first level, ain't it? Anyways, the goal here is a bit different. First, take note of the squirrels in the trees at the left and right sides. Like in the Level 1 boss, they won't hurt you at all. In fact, if you peck them, they'll launch an acorn to the left or right, whichever is towards the middle for them. You need to use that concept to hit the polar bear at the right, your boss, with an acorn. That's easier said than done - he really likes to run into you and homes in on you. But that's about it for his offensive strategy. So, beat his head in with an acorn. At that point, quickly get close and press the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously. This gives Woody the ability to paint a target on the bear's bottom. XD Peck it and he'll lose health. Loop until you've won. It's actually quite simple if you get him trapped in the corner. Anyways, after the clash, go right and rescue another one of your cute li'l friends, apparently from the environment that he's acclimated to. Seriously, what idiot takes a penguin, adapted for cold climates, out of there!? =================== Bônus / Bonus Round =================== The bonus round is rather simple. At the right side are three enemies who will toss things at you. Some of these can be good, such as food that will restore health, or extra lives that have an obvious purpose, or bags of cash. Some of these will also be rather bad for you, such as anvils and logs. This level will only end when you are hit by something bad, so you can take your time here to refill your health and lives. After being hit by an anvil or something like that, you won't be damaged - you will just head on to the next level. ================ Fase 4 / Level 4 ================ The first portion of this level is quite linear. You'll navigate while riding on a boat. You can only move left and right (using the respective D-Pad controls), and jump (2 Button) when you've gained enough speed. You won't be allowed to attack enemies here, so you just have to avoid them as best as you can. The general goal of this portion is to proceed right. There is little notable along the way, except the various pickups you'll find over the water (you can jump to these), or those to the left, near the waterfall, when you go down a big gap. Remember to jump over enemies, and this part will end when you reach the cave. ~~~ The second part of this level is a bit of an underwater tunnel. You can move up, down, left, and right in here, and peck enemies with the 1 Button. The tunnel has pretty much no variance in its structure, so you can just proceed to the right, pecking the enemies as they come. There are no pickups, though, so try not to get hurt. ~~~ The third part of the level consists of the boss. You can deal with this one rather simply. You need to try to keep one of the green lilypads between you and him so that you don't get bitten. All you must do is jump behind him and use Down on the D-Pad and the 1 Button to peck his tail. Quickly jump away from him, as he is liable to bite you in retaliation, then loop as needed. Once you've defeated this 'gator, approach Woody's caged friend to free her and end the level. ================ Fase 5 / Level 5 ================ When you start the level, jump right and onto the bear trap above, then quickly jump right and off of it. Jump onto the bridge nearby and proceed to the right, but carefully. Not only are two of those dogs (who seem to resist all pecking), but there's a bomb. This bomb will soon turn into a ground-hugging fireball that will take a moment to disappear. Nevertheless, don't get caught up inside of it. On the other side of the bridge, drop down to the ground below, near the tree. Feel free to the hop to the left (I just held "2" and Left on the D-Pad) to get a candy cane health pickup. Return back towards the tree and gap and, when the path is clear of the acorns, hop across. There, climb up the ledges and proceed to the right. You'll find another bear trap thing like at the start of the level, but you can bypass this one by going through the wall beneath it. You'll also have to deal with another bridge, like before. This time, on the other side, you'll find a dog nearby when you drop towards ground level. Beware of the dog and cross the ledges to the left if you want a bag of cash. Then return to the dog if you need to and cross over the gap to the right. Stand on the slightly-raised central ledge and jump up and right onto the ledge there. Then get on the very left edge of it and hop to the ledge above, then above and to the left, and so on. At the ledge with the dog, jump onto the bear trap and quickly get to the ice cream health pickup. Jump right from the bear trap to the platform with the iris, then jump right off of it, heading to the right. You should land on or near a ledge with an extra life sticker on it. Go get it if you have room, then jump on the raised wall to the right. Walk off of it and you'll land near a bomb on the bridge. Quickly hit ground level, lest you get burned. Get on the small ledge to the right and, from there, cross over the next gap when the tree squirrel is not throwing acorns at you. Proceed up the ledges as usual. At the top, jump right to the ledge slightly above you with the iris. Go right and you'll find that you're going through the wall! As you proceed to the right, note that you may need to jump around to deal with hidden ledges that will impede you. On the other side (when you see Woody poke out of the wall), walk off the ledge to land just on the edge of a gap. Jump right across it and ascend the ledges on the other side. Cross the bridge while dodging the thrown acorns and the bomb's fireball. On the other side, go down to ground level near the dog. Hop across the ledges to the left if you want a bag of cash. Then return here if you went that way and go right across the gap to find a familiar structure. Get on the central ledge and, this time, climb up the ledges to the left to reach the sign and trigger some bonus. Then go back and ascend the ledges along the right wall. This time at the top, you'll find a bear trap. Leap from it to the extra life, then leap from that ledge rightward. You should land on a ledge with a candy cane. Pick it up to refill your health, then stand on the solid orangish wall to the right. Leap to the right and you'll land on the bridge below. Go across it, dealing with the dogs as usual (by running away). Of course, also beware the fireball/bomb. At the end of this lengthy bridge, walk off of the right side. To the left, you'll notice a bag of cash. Hop to it and return here, then climb onto the bridge from before and leap onto the bridge to the right. Continue crossing the bridges and you'll soon reach one partially hidden by a tree. Walk off the right edge of this one, then one the below. Hop across the gap to the right and you'll find a familiar situation. Climb up the right ledges as you have twice before done and you'll find another of Woody's friends at the top. Yes, there's no boss for this level - just walk near Woody's friend to free him. ================ Fase 6 / Level 6 ================ It's time for the final level! Are you ready? As with the lighting fixtures in Fase 2/Level 2, you'll want to avoid the hanging spiders here for the same reasons - you'll get hurt! When you begin, jump into the barrel to the right. Much like the boss in the second level, press Up on the D-Pad to go through it to the next one, much like the doorways of the aforementioned level. On the other side, go into the next barrel to the right, but be sure to not get hit by the hopping rat nearby. On the other side, stand on the edge of the barrel and wait a while for the bomb/fireball to go away, then go left. Collect the cash and go back through the barrel. Go to the left and over the barrels into the leftmost one, next to the wall. Go through it and, on the other side, quickly jump onto the edge of the barrel because a fireball is already running rampant here... Go into the next barrel to the right and through it. Kill the rat nearby - he'll probably jump on you from above. Go left and hop over the gap. Collect the bag of cash and return to the other side of the gap. Go into the gap and head right. Take note of the first barrel you reach. If you want a health pickup, go to the far right and past an enemy or two to find a sufficient candy cane; otherwise, go through the noted barrel. On the other side, carefully cross down into the gap between the two barrels, then into the next one. On the other side, quickly hop on the edge of the barrel because another fireball is about to appear from the bomb. After it goes away, go left. Hop onto the edge of the barrel there, then leap onto the ledge above and to the right for the extra life. Go into the gap and into the barrel on the left. On the other side, head into the gap nearby. Proceed to the right, past an enemy or two, and you'll find one of the triangular health pickups. Grab it and flee - another bomb is about to blow! Go into the first barrel to the left and, on the other side, go into the gap and through that barrel. When you come out, hop into the lower area and grab the bag of cash. Head to the right and stand on the edge of the barrel you soon reach. Leap onto the ledge above and to the right to find another health pickup. Cross the gap to the right, then the next one to find a bag of cash. You can go to the lower level around now and head to the far right, past a fireball, to find an extra life if you want. Just be sure to then go to the far left and jump from the leftmost barrel's edge to the ledge above, then keep hopping over the gaps to the right. You'll soon see a bag of cash below. Go get it, then use the barrel. When you come out, go into the gap below and into the next barrel. Yes, this will induce a little backtracking, but it matters not. Jump from the rim of the barrel onto the ledge above and cross ONE gap - no more or less. When you see the next gap, go down into it and go through the barrel. On the other side, be careful about the depth perception involving the stairs at the right side - you'll be using the light-blue brick-pattern platforms as usual. Cross to the right - the bomb won't blow up until you're very close - and head up the stairs. Leap to the ledge to the left, defeat the rat, and go through the barrel. Then go through the doorway nearby. ~~~ And so, you will begin fighting the final boss, which is actually quite easy. This particular enemy likes to hop around until he's close enough to hit you with his bat. Going old school, are we? :P Anyways, the main thing to note about this is that his jumping is actually an advantage to you - you won't be damaged if you touch him while he jumps! Take extreme advantage of this fact during the battle. Now, as for how to do damage? The exact conditions remain fairly vague to me, but I pretty much know this. Whenever the enemy is about half a screen or more away from a cannon, you want to do a full-fledged (i.e., while walking/running) leap onto the dark-gray portion that is the front. If successful, Woody Woodpecker will be launched from the cannon at a high speed - if you hit the enemy, you'll deal damage. That's pretty much it. After you deal damage, try to get on the other side of the enemy by jumping "through" his jump, to the cannon, and launch again. Loop as you need until the enemy is defeated, and the credits roll.
