Intro
-----

Cannon Fodder is a classic underrated addictive game for the Super NES which i
discovered had been neglected on the FAQ boards and thus decided to write this
FAQ for. Its a fun little game where you control a group of soldiers and
elimintate any enemies in the given level.

Game Basics
-----------

The Intro Screen :

First the "score" at the top is the number of kills
home = your kills
away = your casualties
(Graves will form on the hillside as your caualties grow)

on the left column, the Heroes are ones that have been killed, and the Squad
are the people that are alive.The following number is their individual kills


By pressing select at the first screen the options menu will pop up:

Load Game : This option is actually a password entry screen; passowords for
thecurrent level can be found by selecting Save Game

Save Game : This option gives the password for the current level

Key Define : The controls for Cannon Fodder can be assigned with this option.
My recomended controls are as follows:

Move   - B
Shoot  - Y
Map    - X
Weapon - A

Stereo : Stereo is set to off by default, change it if you wish


Pressing start will begin the mission

Gameplay Basics

Basically you move a target around the battlefield, pressing move will command
your soldiers to move to the target, pressing fire will command then to fire
at the target very simple-- but it gets complicated as strategy is needed in
the later missions. By pausing you can move soldiers individually and you must
usethe map to help you plan out your attacks.

If you pause and select the names of soldiers and then the snake thingy it
will separate your troops into groups so you can command them individually,
dont worry though because troops that are left alone WILL defend themselves,
although not very effectively. (Use R and L to switch between
soldiers/ groups)

Walkthrough

:: Note the number of Recriuts remaining is only if you travel through the
game with 0 casualties::

Mission 1: The Sensible Initiation
---------
Phase 1/1: Its A Jungle Out There
Briefing : With 2 soldiers you must kill all enemy

13 Recriuts Remaining
3 Enemy Soldiers

Very easy, if you lose this mission you should not even bother with the rest
of the gamejust move your soldiers into range of the enemy and openly fire on
them, kill all 3 of them and youre done!


Mission 2: Onward Virgin Soldiers
---------
Phase 1/2: Bridge Over the River Pie (Haha like the movie get it?)
Briefing : With 3 soldiers you must kill all enemy

27 Recriuts Remaining
17 Enemy Soldiers

This level is MUCH harder and is what the rest of the game will be like. You
now have 17 enemies as opposed to 3. I still recommend you keep all of your
soldiers in just 1 group. First off there will be an enemy swimming
towards you from the north, kill him immedietly. Next 3 enemies to the south
stay by the trees and lure them 1 at a time and pick them off for easy kills.
Now head west along the south border, 2 soldiers will come rushing in, pick
them off (your groups mass firing should get it done very easily). Head north
when you hit the west border and pick off the 2 soldiers standing by the
river.
Now go to the bridge (use the map if youre lost) and pick off the one guard
across the bridge. Go west and lure the guards by firing bullets near them
until they come into your range, and then pick them off. As always use the
trees for cover. Go around the trees and head east slowly, you will be
approached by 2 soldiers at the clearing, pick em off. (see a pattern here?)
Head east and kill the last 3 soldiers. You win! watch your soldiers jump
around in victory :)


Phase 2/2: Trash Enemy HQ
Briefing : With 3 soldiers you must -kill all enemy -destroy enemy buildings

27 Recriuts Remaining
22+ Enemy Soldiers (Soldiers will continue coming out of the building if you
                  do not destroy it)
1 Enemy building

I think by now you get the idea of the game, so i can condense my strategy.
At the very start 2 soldiers come in from the west, kill them and cross the
river. There are 2 more soldiers by the trees You know what to do. When you
reach the end of the peninsula, 2 soldiers to the west across the river and
one incoming from the south. As a reminder stick to the land so your soldiers
wont be slowed. Follow the river east along the north shore. One soldier will
come from the east and one more is across the river at the end of the south
peninsula. Go south and follow the river west killing the 3 soldiers along
the way. Go south and kill the 2 soldiers waiting in the corner. Go east
and kill the 9 soldiers along the way until you see a building. Kill the 2
soldiers north of the building and any that come out of the building. There
is a little brown crate next to the building- pick it up to recieve grenades.
To use a grenade target the barrels around the building HOLD down fire and
then press move, when you throw a grenade at the barrels they will explode
and destroy the building. ::Note keep your soldiers a safe distance from
the buildings when destroying them, flying debree can kill your soldiers::
Mission Complete!

You will see a building with crates around it. DO NOT shoot the crates! kill
all surrounding enemies and go and pick up the crates and destroy the
building. Go back and destroy the 2 buildings you passed along the way with
your grenades. Come back and go west, there are ALOT of enemies along the way
