Dynamite Dux was an old school side scroller which no one except me has
actually played.
It was released in 1987 in the Arcades, the Sega Master system and the
Commodore-64. This FAQ is for the arcade version of the game, mainly
because it's the best version out of the three.
If you have no idea what Dynamite Dux is then I don't blame you because
it wasn't that popular a game, although it has to be one of the best
platform games I've played. Anywho,if you have found this game in arcade
before and enjoyed it then this is dedicated to you!
No takers! Didn't think so!
The storyline of Dynamite Dux is about a young girl named Lucy and her
two pets Bin and Pin. One day they were all happily playing in the
flower garden when all of a sudden the evil monster, Achacha the Great
stole Lucy and dragged her into the Achacha world. Her brave pets Bin and Pin
opened a door to this mysterious world and followed the demon.

Walkthrough
Stage 1.1
Walk right down the street and you'll be attacked by a group of 5 dogs.
Punch or dropkick them all and continue forward.
Collect the rock lying on the floor, this can be used as weapon
but you'll only be able to use six times. You will be attacked by a
group of 3 dogs,use the rock as a long distance weapon to kill them or avoid
them by simply jumping over them or walking down to the other end of the
street andjust mosey on past them.
At the don't walk sign there is a treasure chest. Approach and open it,
it will give you points.
Follow the road, diagonal right and down where you will find five more dogs.
Punch them all or walk round them
As you continue down the street another dog will approach you with a new
enemy, a sausage moose. Kill them both easily with the rock (if you still have
it or use your fists)
You will then be attacked by a group of 5x Sausage Moose. Charge up a punch to
get multiple kills.
There will water spurting from the ground on various places and there will
be a bomb on the ground near them so collect the bomb, which will throw the
rock away.
Three more Sausage Moose will approach. If you throw bomb in the middle of
them then you will take all three of them out at once.
A new enemy will attack, a wolf on roller skates. Kill when they are close,
or use a bomb/rock (recommended). You can jump over him and collect the burger
on the floor which will top up your health.
After collecting the burger a group of four skater wolves will come forward,
avoid or kill!
You will see 3 manholes emitting water, lined almost vertically across the
road and behind these will be a wolf holding a grenade launcher. Avoid all of
his shots and walk through the gap in the water spouts and trounce the wolf
with a punch.
Two groups of mice will dart towards you suddenly so quickly jump over
them or hit them, but only if you're exceedingly fast at doing so.
Collect the bazooka lying on the ground and avoid the two skater wolves who
come at you or shoot them.
4x dogs will appear as you continue on so kill them all if you wish
or avoid them.
Replenish any lost health with the burger on the ground and
get some points by picking up the chest.
Kill the dog and moose that approach you after this.
Two Sausage moose will appear so avoid them to save ammo (recommended)
or kill them if you desire. They will drop a cake so collect it get any health
back if you need to.
Walk around four water sports and kill all 3 moose who appear as you proceed.
2 more moose will appear so kill them along with 2 dogs that come after
to face the first boss.
Boss 1-Fireball
As the fireball appears pick up the waterpistol on the ground put leave
the other one until later. The fireball will randomly throw fireballs
towards you so move all of the time to avoid the projectiles. Stop
occasionally and squirt
water on the fire, avoiding all projectiles. If you run out of water
collect the other pistol to continue. The fireball will shrink after 13 hits
and fall apart spitting out a pile of fireballs which you should avoid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1.2
After the fireball dies proceed right. Two giant rabbits with springs
on their legs will leap towards you. Cut through the middle of them if you
want but killing the top one will give you a cake to boost health.
Collect the rock again and go down the stairs. Pick up the bomb, which
will throw away your rock.
At the bottom you will be attacked by a group of seven Sausage moose.
Kill them with a well aimed bomb.
Collect the cake afterwards and proceed down the steps where you will find a
railway line and a platform.
As you go on the track eight skater wolves appear.
Kill them normally, you'll find that some of them will appear on the track
below.
Eight Sausage moose will attack you afterwards so prepare yourself for that.
Four red crocodiles will appear so kill them in the normal fashion.
Jump off the platform onto the railway track and trash the group of eight
crocodiles and the further 3 crocodiles and six skater wolves.
Open the treasure chest and kill the three more crocs that approach.
Then collect the flamethrower and kill the two moose that appear.
Twelve crocodiles will then come after you but they'll be a cinch if you flame
them all.
Then two sets of mice will come charging in so burn them or just jump over
them.
Six skater wolves will abruptly follow so flame or punch them.
Then open the treasure chest to get some points.
Walk on the Railway track and collect the burger.
Look out the for the three moose and the rabbit with springs.
Two groups of mice will fly towards you so kill or avoid them
and then dodge the incoming group of mice who are double the size than normal.
You will then be attacked by eight crocodiles,
wipe them all out and collect the treasure chest.
Go up the stairs, back to the street but look out for 6 dogs
that are coming up after you.
You'll find a machine gun, pick it up and
avoid the water spouting from the manhole.
Kill eight more crocs and one wolf with a rocket launcher to get to the boss.
Boss-2 Rock
A cluster of rocks will appear-
looking like this
0 0
0 O 0
0 0 0
The rocks encircling the rock in the middle will spin round and
spread out/return in a pattern.
The rock in the middle(the one with the face) is the one you have to destroy
so use the machine gun (or fists) to break the rocks away. If you destroy all
of the rocks encircling the one in the middle the boss will die but if you
destroy three rocks and then attack the centre one it will be more effective.
Keep on hitting the centre rock
(the expression on the rocks face will indicate his health) but jump over any
other rocks that he rotates round at you.)
When he dies a doorway will appear and you'll be sent to......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 2.1-Japan
Go forward and kill 3 dogs then collect the bomb lying on the floor.
Use the bomb on the four dogs and then kill the mole when he pops out
of the ground.
After that you will be attacked by 3 more dogs and 5 Sumo Pigs. Hit the
pig once to make them go red then they will charge at you. Two punches should
kill them easliy without the bomb.
Collect the burger to replenish lost health and look out for the two pigs that
come towards you. Kill then like you did the last time and proceed to pick up
the machine gun.
Kill the four pigs with the gun and shoot the mole when he appears.
You can collect the rock but it is recommended to just keep the machine gun.
Boss-3
Chinese Dragon
What's a Chinese Dragon doing in Japan?
Anyway, keep hitting the head of the dragon but be quick to avoid the fire
that it breathes out. If you wish you can pick off the sections of the dragon
bit by bit. This, however takes a very long time to do so the best thing is to
hit the head a number of times until it dies. The colour of the head
will tell you what the health status of the boss is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 2.2
Walk down the ramp and make sure you don't go too close to the edge.
On the ramp you'll be attacked by two moles and two dogs which are fairly
simple to overcome.
Collect the bomb and proceed forward and defeat four dogs.
Pick up the homing launcher and kill the next four dogs or avoid them to save
ammo.
Look out for a mole and a dog. Also a new enemy-the ninja who will appear for
an instant and attack you. Be quick and clock him one.
Then a pack of five dogs accompanied by a mole will show up and you can
dispose of them in the usual fashion.
Then a group of 7 sumos with a ninja will come at you so be careful.
Kill the sumos and just jump over some of them after you hit one or two and
then simply beat the rest with a flying kick or a super punch.
The ninja may prove tricky so when appears be ready to avoid his projectiles
and when he reappears smack him one.
After that you'll get a group of six sumos which will be relatively
simple to defeat. Charge a super punch so you'll hit the first three and jump
over them when they charge at you. Also collect the bomb on the ground when
you have killed them all.
After that a huge group of fifteen dogs will approach. Easy stuff when
you know how but be careful to look out for the ninja but kill him the same
way as before.
One of those giant springy rabbits will approach but he'll just skim
past you so its easier to avoid him but kill him if you must.
Four dogs will come out and a rock lies on the floor behind them.
Collectthe rock and proceed.
Avoid the homing missle fired by the wolf by punching them and then
kick that guy in the head.
Nine pigs will appear and the two ninjas will follow. After they have
been trashed pick up the flamethrower.
Burn the two ninjas and then torch the four dog. Six moles will surface
and so smoke them out and walk up the ramp.
Six pigs and two dogs will come after so punch them and continue.
Collect the rock and use it on the three pigs and two dogs that comeafter you.
Get ready to fight nine dogs and one spring rabbit as you continue, although
the bouncing bunny may go straight past you it's fun to kick his ass.
Three wolves with homing launchers will be sat in a circle and a chest will
lie in the heart of the circle. Defeat all three and open the chest for some
points.
Keep going until you come across two moles which you can choose to kill or
just walk past. Kill the one dog and the two sumos that come past. Pick
up the bomb and proceed to...
Boss-4
Clouds
He's laid out a lot like the rock boss and will rotate the cloudsencircling
him. He will also throw out lightining towards you as you walk past.
Hitting the individual clouds will obviously kill him a lot slower than
hitting the centre circle but I recommended taking two of the clouds away and
hitting the middle one until he dies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3-1 Jungle
Go forward and jump into the pit but make sure you jump over the four dogs.
Kill all four dogs with a well charged super punch and jump out of the pit.

After 3 more dogs appear, defeat them and walk across the bridge.
Kill 3 crocodiles will be on the bridge and pick up the cake that they drop

then kill the moles and spring rabbit that comes from the right.
Top up your health with the cake and burger dropped.
Walk up the stairs to open chests and jump off the cliff to the lower
platform, kill the homing wolf and open the chest.
Proceed onward and kill the two crocodiles to get to the
Boss-5 Rock statue
Keep on punching the legs of the rock man but don't stay in the same
position for too long because fire will rain down on you. Also the rockman may
punch you if you get too close so hit and back off. When the rocks become
really cracked hit them with a super punch to end this reasonably easy boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3-2
walk down the ramp and kill the crocodile on the ramp.
At the bottom kill yet another four crocs.
Collect the flamethrower and use to burn down seven crocodiles and then use it
to burn out five moles.

ones that get in front of you. Collect the burger and walk up the ramp where

Then proceed, but look out for the fire that spurts out of the ground.
The fire shooting up first will look like a mole emerging. Avoid all the
flames and continue until you get to
Boss-6 Fire Wheel
Pick up the water pistol and shoot the wheel as it spins round the area
squirt the fire, which will turn to rock. If you avoid the fire and keep
shooting the parts of the wheel that are on fire then you'll have no
problem.

Enemy list
Enemy Difficulty
Dog: Easy, The dog is slow moving and can be killed with one
quick punch easily enough
Crocodile: Easy, will attack in large groups which may produce a problem but
with a charged up punch or a good weapon they will fall easily enough.
Moose:Easy, this enemy will attack in a group also and will move
quite fast,one hit will destroy him so he is nog big deal although in
large groups they can be a hazard.
Wolf: Normal, these enemies tend to be quite fast and will go zipping across
the screen in large groups, if many attack at once it may be difficult to
attack one while dodging another
G-Wolf: Normal, will fire a weapon that will attack you form far away,
the projectiles are fast but can be dodged easily enough if you follow
the shadow of the grenade on the floor.
Mice: Hard, these mice will run across the screen at breakneck
speed and can catch you off guard sometimes they can be in large or
multiple groups that make them very hard to avoid.
Rabbit:Normal, these enemies are fairly big and go at a medium speed. They
also have no special attacks so just punch them if they jump into you
H-Wolf:Hard, these will fire homing missles at you which are
fairly hard to dodge, jump over the missiles and hit them but they attack in
groups so you may have four missiles coming at you at once.
Mole:Hard, since they travel underground it is very difficult to
follow them, they may pop near you making it hard for you judge there
whereabouts. Kill them as quick as you can.

you hit them they'll charge without warning which will do a lot of
damage.

when alone they are normal but they attack in large groups which makes it
harder to conquer them all.

projectiles without any warning.To defeat them use a jump kick to avoid
getting shot
