1) Pick Bernard and Micheal
a) Bernard
1) Is afraid of the green tentacle
2) Is the only one able to pick up the radio tube and
fix the phone
b) Micheal
1) Is the only one who can develop the film
2) Have Dave or Mike open the front door with the KEY from under the
doormat.
3) Send the character that opened the door walk to the mailbox and stand
guard.
4) Send the other two in. DO NOT GO IN THE FIRST DOOR FOR AT LEAST 5
MINUTES! Loot the house.
5) SAVE! Send the kid other then Bernard to clear out the kitchen. Go
thru the next door, clear out the meat. Go to the next room, clear out
all but the DEVELOPER. Go back to the kitchen, fill the JAR with water.
6) Go to the piano room, and park the CASSETTE TAPE (in the sliding
panel in the library, last panel) in the recorder for now.
7) Open the security door now and whenever needed.
8) Go into the first room, second floor, beyond security door, and open
the desk, taking the MANUSCRIPT. The next one holds nothing of value.
9) Send the character besides Bernard up the stairs. Walk up to the
Green Tentacle, and give him the WAX FRUIT and the JAR OF WATER. You'll
get the jar back, don't worry. Open the door to the developing room and
go up the stairs.
10) Open the first door and go in, picking up the DIME on the floor. Go
up the ladder at the far left.
11) Ignore the Tentacle. Pick up the RECORD next to the stereo, and
pick up the YELLOW KEY next to the right speaker. Go back thru the
hatch in the floor.
12) Go to the forth door and clean it out (actually, the only thing
takeable is the SPONGE in the bathroom). Use the Hunk-A-Matic.
13) Swap to Bernard. Send Bernard to the room with the radio and plug
in the RADIO TUBE. Send him after the other kid to work out.
14) AT THIS TIME THE DOORBELL SHOULD BE RINGING. If any kids remain in
the hall, send them into a room ASAP. Swap to the kid outside, and
target and pick up: the STAMPS, and the PACKAGE. When Ed closes the
door, reopen it, and go to the right most Gargoyle. Send the kid with
the YELLOW KEY and SPONGE downstairs to the kid pushing the Gargoyle.
15) Go thru the door (the one with the SPONGE, NOT the one pushing the
statue. Turn on the light and get the SILVER KEY, and go upstairs.
16) Send both the downstairs characters all the way thru the dining hall
to the supply room. Unlock the silver door with the SILVER KEY, and
give the SILVER KEY to the kid who was stationed next to the mailbox.
It is now valueless. Send the guy with the SPONGE thru the door.
17) Open and go thru the gate.
18) Open the garage door. (NOTE: You MUST have worked out on the Hunk-
A-Matic to do this!) Take the SHOWER HANDLE. Open the trunk with the
YELLOW KEY. Take the TOOLS. Go back to the supply room.
19) "Pick up" the DEVELOPER. Yes, it always does that. Send the kid
who pushed on the gargoyle to the ladder on the swimming pool wall. No,
he won't go in.
20) Send the kid with the SPONGE outside of the house. PULL the bushes
on the right. Use the TOOLS on the Grating. Go into the grating.
21) Walk until you find the green puddle of developer. Use SPONGE in
the puddle. Keep walking until you see a valve. SAVE! THIS IS HARD!
Open or Turn On Water Valve. Swap to the kid next to the pool. Have
him go down the ladder. Watch or cut the cut scene, it is meaningless.
Pick up the RADIO. Pick up the small, GLOWING KEY. Retreat up the
ladder. DO NOT MUCK WITH THE BUTTON OR NUCLEAR PUMP! Go up the ladder.
22) As soon as the guy is off the ladder and on to terra firma, Close or
Turn Off Water Valve. Everything should be peachy.
23) Send the character with the RECORD, not the OLD RECORD mind you, to
the piano room. Put the RECORD on the Victrola. Turn on the recorder.
Turn on the Victrola. Wait until the vase shatters. Turn off the
Victrola. Turn off the recorder. Pick up the CASSETTE TAPE. Go to the
room where the chandelier hangs.
24) Open the cabinet door if you haven't already done so. Use the
CASSETTE TAPE in the Cassette player. Turn on the player. Wait until
the chandelier shatters. Turn off the player. Take the tape if you
want, it's useless now. Take the OLD RUSTY KEY.
25) Go outside and look at the left bushes. You should see a small
canister of UNDEVELOPED FILM. In not, skip to step 27 for now, and
check back later.
26) Have everybody meet on the fourth level of Maniac Mansion inside a
room somewhere. Give the SPONGE WITH DEVELOPER and the UNDEVELOPED FILM
to Micheal. Send Micheal to the third floor room. Close the door if
you want, Mike will do it anyway. Use SPONGE WITH DEVELOPER in the
developing tray. Use the UNDEVELOPED FILM in the tray. Stop or watch
the cut scene if you want. You should now have Wierd Ed's Plans in the
form of PRINTS. Hold onto that for a sec. Open the door and meet up
with the other two.
27) Give one of the characters the OLD RUSTY KEY. Give the PACKAGE to
another kid. Give the dime to the kid without the OLD RUSTY KEY, but
with the PACKAGE. Send both of them to the third door. Open the third
door, and send the kid with the OLD RUSTY KEY thru the door. Walk to
the piggy bank and OPEN it. It will shatter. You may be able to out-
run Ed, but don't bother. Pass the scene and swap to the guy outside.
Send him into Ed's room. Pick up the HAMSTER. Pick up the PURPLE CARD
KEY. Pick up another DIME. Ed should be coming back soon. Give him
the package. Go outside. SAVE.
28) The infamous dream sequence. Bring the kid in the clink back
upstairs to meet with the other two. Give the hamster to that kid, and
send him into Ed's room to give him the hamster and make friends. SAVE
again. Now- Send the kid into the room with the man eating plant. Hit
"F". Move the cursor to the hatch. DO NOT SAVE UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, OR YOU WILL PERMANENTLY ENTRAP THAT CHARACTER! Put the
two dimes in the coin slot, and push the RIGHT button twice. Yes, you
can't see anything of interest. Now, swap to the other two characters.
Put them in Ed's room. Send one into Edna's room (the second door from
the stairs. You should be able to dodge Edna and make it up the ladder,
if not, don't worry about it, just send the last kid in and up the
ladder.
Open the painting. Swap to the character staring out the telescope.
Use the Really Powerful Telescope and record the numbers you see.
29) RELOAD THE GAME. Do everything you just did save sending the kid to
the telescope. Unless you think you can pick up the SAMLL KEY AND make
it up the ladder, just let Edna catch you and send in the last
character. Pick up the key and head up to the painting room. Open the
wall safe with the code you just got. Pick up the SEALED ENVELOPE and
go downstairs. Yes, Edna will catch you.
30) The confusing part: There is one last puzzle before the fun begins,
and its not so hard. Reveal the door in the room with the man eating
plant with the PAINT REMOVER. Wow. It is a useless room, isn't it?
Except for the window, and you don't have the right tool to open it.
The CHAINSAW? No gas. The Wierd Edsel? Maybe. If you get the gas out
of that, let me know. The SPONGE should help. Now, put the shower
handle on the shower and turn it on and off, recording the number you
see. That is Nurse Edna's number. Is it useless? Give the PRINTS to
Ed. He will meet you in the clink in ten minutes. Clock five and call
the alien on the CB (read the wanted poster). Let Edna get you and meet
the other two. Unlock the padlocks with the GLOWING KEY. Open the
outside door. What? Another? The code is...
Keys What they open
Key The front door*
Old Rusty Key The prison door*
Silver Key The silver door
Yellow Key Opens and turns on the Wierd Edsel
Small Key The coin boxes in the video games
Glowing Key The padlocks on the outer door
