I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

(B) STORY
###############################################################################
As the intro to the game clearly shows *ahem*, your girlfriend has been
kidnapped by a bunch of no good thugs. And being a master of the deadly arts,
you decide to teach the thugs a lesson and get your girlfriend back.
###############################################################################
(C) CONTROLS
###############################################################################
The controls for this game are very simple, and are as follows:
A - Throw a punch.
B - Perform a kick.
Start - Pauses the game.
Select - Not used. (well it's used ONLY for changing the game mode at the main
menu)
###############################################################################
(D) WEAPONS/TECHNIQUES
###############################################################################
You can pick up and use various items in the game, here is a list of the items
and any tactics for using each one. Also listed are a few of your special
moves.
Jump Kick - Press A and B together to perform this move, this also works as a
standard jump in a pinch.
Elbow - Face away from an enemy and press A when they get close to elbow them.
Throw - When very close to an enemy you can press A to throw them, works best
in the middle of a punch combo.
Barrel - Pick it up and throw it with A, simple.
Box - Same as the barrel, except it's a box.
Rock - Same as the barrel and the box, except you have the advantage of knowing
it's a rock.
Bat - This blunt instrument gets the job done as you would expect it to. Press
A to use it, B does nothing while holding it.
Bomb - Just dodge this quickly or you'll be sorry.
Knife - Press A to throw it, quite strong.

(E) WALKTHROUGH
###############################################################################
Bricklayer J. Gastronomy
There are only 5 types of enemies in the game:
There are two types of basic male thugs (Will's and Rowper's) and they are
almost identical.
Then there is the female thug (Linda's) (they are a little bit weaker).
Next is Chin, he's got a mop of hair and some good moves. He's speedy unlike
Abobo. He can also dodge your jump kicks like Abobo. The best part is that he
is easier to trap in combos than Abobo, so beat him that way.
Finally we have Abobo, he is a huge muscular guy, more like a boss. He does a
LOT more damage per hit than the other thugs, he also has cheap moves like
grabbing you. Finally he can take a fair amount of damage, and he can dodge
your jump kicks. Practice fighting him early, so you can beat him quickly. I
find it easier to land a punch combo if you are close to him.
###############################################################################
(E-01) MISSION 1
###############################################################################
As soon as you start you'll see two thugs on either side of you. So it's time
to start busting heads, basically use whatever attacks you want, but focus your
efforts on one enemy at a time. If the other gets too close then move away.
Once they're both dispatched head right until 2 more thugs attack. The one on
the left has a bat so he's your first target, once you have the bat then finish
the job.
Head right and 2 women will come out of the door, introduce them to your bat.
Once they're gone you will get your bat taken away, so head right.
After you take a couple steps a thug will approach from behind, take him out
then take a few more steps right. His buddy will come from the right, so get
rid of him. Head right a little more and another thug will appear on the
right.
Once he's gone head right until a thug with a barrel appears on the left. Drop
kick him so he'll drop it, then punch him out. As you go right 2 more thugs
will show up, one from each side so take them out however you want.
The barrel now disappears, so head right into a girl. Beat her then another
will appear from the left, once you beat her and walk a bit a 3rd will appear
from then left. Beat her and the door will open, enter it.
Inside the warehouse are two thugs, one on each side of you. Once you beat
them head right, 2 thugs will come out of the door, one has a box. Once
they're gone enter the door to fight Abobo, stage's boss of this stage.
Abobo is quite tough so basically keep trying to punch him out, sometimes it
helps to jump kick him. If you he doesn't dodge, it can be easier to follow up
with a punch combo sometimes. Once you beat him the mission is over.
###############################################################################
(E-02) MISSION 2
###############################################################################
As soon as the stage starts there will be a thug on your right. After beating
him climb the ladder and fight the next thug. Head right and beat the two
thugs that come through the door. Climb the ladder and beat up the thug on the
way.
Jump across the conveyers and climb the ladder. Head left and beat up the 2
thugs, continue left and 2 more will come through the door. One has a whip so
steal and use it, it will disappear once they're both gone. Ride the elevator
down and head right.
Drop kick the first thug to dodge his bomb, then beat him and his friend up.
Climb a couple of ladders and beat the 2 thugs. Climb to the top and beat the
two thugs, then the 2 that come out the door. Now you will face the boss,
Chin. He's not quite as dangerous as Abobo, but he's still got some tough
moves. Once you beat him the mission is over.
###############################################################################
(E-03) MISSION 3
###############################################################################
As soon as you start there will be a thug on each side of you, so beat them and
head right. Beat the thug then continue right and beat the thug that jumps
from the tree. Head right and beat the 2 thugs, then jump the gap in the
bridge.
Grab the bat from the left thug then continue right, use the bat on the next
thug. (then you will lose it) Beat the next thug and keep right, beat another
thug. Continue right and 2 thugs will appear, one has a rock. Head right and
fight 2 more thugs, continue right and fight another 2. Head right again and
fight a pair of thugs, head right and face Abobo. To make the battle a LOT
easier lure him to the left and down a bit, then hit him off the cliff.
Walk off the right end of the cliff to land on a bridge. Continue right and do
battle with 3 Chins. If you walk slowly, then you should be able to face the
first one on his own, and then the next 2 at once. the second one has a knife,
so try to get it for an advantage. Climb the rock ladder, then jump right
across 2 pits. Head right to the door, and fight the 3 thugs (one has a rock,
that disappears once you beat them). Now fight Abobo and enter the door.
Inside will be 2 thugs, and one has a rock. Head right and beat 2 more thugs,
then the rock disappears. Keep going right and avoid the falling spikes.
Eventually a rock will come from the left, jump left over it, then fall off the
cliff on your right. Jump a few lava pits then jump across 3 moving platforms.
This next part's quite tough, you need to beat 2 thugs and Abobo, then enter
the door before the ground breaks away below you. If you can do this
successfully the mission is over.
###############################################################################
(E-04) MISSION 4
###############################################################################
Work your way right and left and upwards fighting batches of thugs until you
reach a sets of 3 doors. Fight a pair of thugs from each door then continue up
to a HUGE set of doors. Grab a whip on the way to use on thugs. Beat the
thugs that show up at the doors then fight the 2 Chins.
Now enter the doors and be ready for the 2 thugs inside (one has a knife).
Head right and take out another thug then continue right to some skull doors.
These will open every so often and suck you towards them as you fight the next
4 thugs. Don't let the doors get you, you will lose a life. After the thugs
you will fight Abobo, try to knock him off into the spikes below if you can
(the battle will be over faster).
Head right and stop before the brick walls, go down as close to the spikes as
you dare. Then carefully go right, trying not to get hit by the bricks as they
pop out. Jump the gap and avoid more bricks and fight a group of thugs (one
has a bomb).
Head right and carefully fight the 3 Chins. Next an enemy with a machine gun
will come out of the door. This guy is VERY dangerous, he can kill you before
you know it. Let him walk down to you then punch him into a corner. Get over
to him and keep punching him every time he gets up. It's cheap but it works
quite well, once he is gone the door will open and you will see your
girlfriend. Walk through the door to complete the game, and watch the ending.

(F) EXPERIMENTAL
###############################################################################
For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
I've been getting cases of energy drinks and making some excellent progress on
a few FAQs & maps.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
