INTRODUCTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here I am once more, exploring new boundaries by giving you my Chu Chu
Rocket! Strategy Guide for the Gameboy Advance. Chu Chu Rocket! also appeared
on another console before, specifically, the Sega Dreamcast. There are times
when we are in need of a challenging yet fun and comical game to satisfy our
gaming. Chu Chu Rocket! is a great game at that. I’ve played the Dreamcast
version and it’s good also. But I’m very much amazed when I played it in the
Gameboy Advance. It’s such a powerful handheld gaming machine and I’m
impressed about the processing power of it. I sometimes imagine playing a
Playstation game on the Gameboy Advance. Now, let’s go deeper into the
strategies of the game.

GAME INFORMATION

=====================
Game Objectives/Rules
=====================
I. Main Goal
------------
The main goal in the game is to successfully lead the ChuChus (mice) into the
rocket. There will be a couple of hindrances on the way like walls, holes,
and most especially, the cats. You have to strategically place the arrow
panels (4 directions: up, down, left, right) on the map. Then when you press
the Start Dash (by default, it’s the R Button), the ChuChus will move around
in the map in an orderly and straight path. When they reach a wall, they will
turn right. When they reach the arrow panel/s, they will follow the direction
the arrow panel is pointing to. Just remember that in the 1P mode, you need
to lead ALL ChuChus into the rocket. Not a single one should be left out.
II. Difficulty
--------------
To a certain degree, the puzzles will range from extremely easy to extremely
difficult. You really have to think of a way to place those arrow panels
correctly. The other thing to worry about is that the arrow panels are
limited. It may only need 1 arrow panel to solve the puzzle but you have to
figure it out yourself.
III. Winning
------------
After winning, the level will be checked (denoting that you have solved it
already) and you may then move on to other puzzles. Just remember that you
may take on any puzzle. There is no particular order in doing so.
=============
Game Controls
=============
The controls are very easy. You only need the D-Pad and the 4 action buttons
of the Gameboy Advanced.
A Button - Ok/Accept/Action Button
B Button - Go Back
L Button - Cancel Button
R Button - Start/Dash
Start Button - Pause (Resume/Exit)

In this game mode, your goal is to correctly place the arrow panels in order
to successfully guide the mice towards the rocket safely. You’ll encounter
cats and you have to think carefully (and compute the timing) about placing
the arrow panels. Here are the puzzles and their solutions/strategies.
In addition to the normal puzzles (those that are included in the game),
there are also puzzles that have been created (custom puzzles) that were
created by different persons on the Dreamcast Version. They are tough and
there are lots and lots of them. You’ll definitely have to play very long.
Let me remind you now that there are hundreds of puzzles here, therefore the
guide might be longer than usual. There are 2,525 puzzles all in all just
here in the 1 Player Puzzle mode. Here we go! Let’s start with the Normal
Puzzles. I’ll put the solution I personally did for the puzzles. Take note
also that is it very much possible that more than 1 strategy can be applied
for a single puzzle.

NORMAL PUZZLES

1 PLAYER STAGE CHALLENGE

Here in the 1 Player Stage Challenge, you’ll be given a time limit to solve
the puzzle. You can use all 4 arrow panels to help you out. Take note that
this is now for real-time. That means, you place the arrow panels while the
map is active (mice and cats are moving).

STRATEGIES
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1. Study the map very well, first hand, before placing the arrows. But you
can try a new arrow placement if you made a mistake.
2. For a more efficient arrow placement in maps with cats. Study the movement
pattern of the cats and place the arrow correctly so that the cats misses the
mice.
3. If you’re having trouble with cats, lead them off by placing arrow panels
right in front of their paths. These arrows tend to disappear after being
touched by cats.
4. Always remember that the mouse will turn right on walls. Use this for
combinations that will lead to the rockets.
5. If there are more than 1 rocket in a map, don’t worry about leading a
mouse in each of them. Leading all the mice into 1 rocket is enough to win
the level.
