                                    001. WHAT THE HECK?!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

"What the heck?" Yes, that was the question that I asked myself when I started playing this game.
What the heck. Well, I'm not going to mince words with you: I was bored, so I wrote this
FAQ/Walkthrough. That's right; not because this game is a masterpiece (which it is); because I was
frankly bored out of my mind. I could have just written a review, but NOOOOO, I had ran out of witty
comments for the day. One thing lead to another, and I'm on a quest to write FAQ/Walkthroughs for
all of the Barbie games published.

Basically, Barbie is a game based off of Mattel's ever-popular series of dolls that have been
popular for more than fifty years. The plot of this game, it seems, is taken from the depths of the
average suburban female 6-year-old mind and manifested onto a Nintendo Entertainment System
cartridge (oddly enough, this game is almost completely devoid of violence). Barbie has a big day
planned tomorrow, and she's so excited that she begins to have strange dreams, in which she explores
the mall, finds inanimate objects turned into semi-vicious monsters, and throws strange crystals at
jungle animals. Somehow I think that every blonde has these kind of dreams.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                              002. CONTROLS/FEATURES/ANIMAL LIST
_________________________________________________________________________________________________


Well, this isn't too hard to understand. The NES controller has one directional pad and four buttons
- select, start, A, and B.

A: This button makes Barbie jump.
B: Throws one of Barbie's crystals at a 45-degree angle. Holding down B makes the crystal go farther
along the path, letting go of B drops the crystal. This takes some getting used to, but eventually
grows on you.
Select: Changes the effect of the crystals on animals.
Start: Pauses the game.
Directional pad: Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out, folks.

Crystals are Barbie's multipurpose weapon of choice. Pressing select changes the crystals'
properties. For some enemies, it's necessary for Barbie to throw a crystal at them to defeat them.
Other times, Barbie must switch to the <-> function (using select) and throw a crystal to an animal,
such as a dog or a toucan; in turn, the animal will do some kind of favor for Barbie, such as
removing an enemy (nonviolently, of course, in the first level, a dog steals the tennis racket
enemy's tennis ball).

Like in many early NES games, Barbie's objective is to clear a 2D, linear level while collecting as
many points as possible and not dying. Points are usually gained by collecting large round "B" coins,
which also give her one Z on her life meter. Barbie's life meter in this game is a bar of Z's at the
bottom right corner of the screen. Barbie starts off with five Z's; when her meter is depleted by
contact with enemies, it's GAME OVER for Barbie. She wakes up momentarily; you get to decide whether
she wakes up for good (ends game) or goes back to sleep (continue). Be careful, though, you only get
a limited amount of continues.

This is the list of animals that help Barbie out in the game, when given a <-> crystal:

Puppy dog: Removes an enemy
Kitten: Pushes "B" coins into an area reachable by Barbie
Toucan: Flaps up and down, allowing Barbie to jump on its back and reach other areas
Seahorse: Grabs otherwise irretrievable starfish and pearls and gives them to Barbie
Fish: Swims upward or downward, indicating the correct path Barbie should take
Dolphin: When given a "?" crystal, the dolphin lets Barbie grab onto its tail, and drags her
through a part of the level.
Ice Cream Cone: Switches hopping direction when given a <-> crystal; throws ice cream upward when
given a "?" crystal.
Car: Goes either in an up-down or left-right pattern until given a "?" crystal, when it switches
direction.
Burger: Spits a meat patty when given a "?" crystal; aids Barbie when given a <-> crystal.
Popcorn: Acts exactly like an Ice Cream Cone, but spits popcorn instead.
Soda: Acts exactly like Popcorn and Ice Cream Cone, but when given a ? crystal, launches Barbie   up
in the air.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

SETTING: BARBIE, ALONE IN HER BEDROOM AT NIGHT, HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF...


Once upon a dream...

"Wow, what a great book!"

"I love reading about mermaids!"

"But... yawn!..."

"I'm getting sleepy now."

"I need my rest--"

"Tomorrow's a busy day!"

*Barbie turns out the lights and lies down*

"I'm having lunch at the soda shop..."

"Going swimming at the beach..."

"Meeting Ken at the party tomorrow..."

"But... yawn!..."

"First I have to go to the mall to pick up that new outfit..."

"So much to do..."

                                    004. WALKTHROUGH
_________________________________________________________________________________________________


----005. Level 1 - The Mall----


Part 1 - The Sports Department

Barbie starts off, you guessed it, at the mall in her dreams. She appears in the SPORTS department,
conveniently wearing a sports bra and aerobic pants. Walk to the right and collect the round B from
the platform (all you have to do is jump).

Keep on walking to the right. You'll see a tennis racket dribbling a tennis ball menacingly while
seeming to stare right at Barbie's chest. Pervert. To amend this situation, you'll need to enlist
the help of the game's first animal - the puppy dog. You'll see him to the right of the tennis
racket, wagging his widdle tail. Press Select until you come to the <-> option on the panel in the
lower left hand corner of the screen. Then hold the B button to the throw the crystal; wait until
the crystal is almost above the dog, then release B to let it drop onto the dog. The helpful little
mutt will run over to the racket and steal its ball, allowing Barbie to pass through.

Head to the right and hop up on the platform and grab the B coin, but be careful - there's a
malicious badminton racket lying in wait, and it has a birdie with Barbie's name on it. When you get
to the edge of the platform, jump IMMEDIATELY to the next platform to avoid the birdie. In case you
fall, jump IMMEDIATELY again over the badminton racket to avoid being pegged again.

After that ordeal, Barbie comes face to face with a stack of boxes that is JUST too high to jump
over. What's a model to do? Enlist the help of Mr. Toucan, of course. Make sure you're still on the
<-> setting and toss the toucan a crystal. He'll fly up and down, allowing you to jump on his back
and use him as a platform, allowing you to jump over the stack of boxes. But before you do that, get
a running start on the toucan and jump to the left to grab the bottle of perfume. Hop on the toucan
again and jump over the boxes.

Next, you'll see a white box with a B on in floating in the middle of the screen. Jump and hit it
from below (Mario style) and you'll see a little B fly out of it. Grab it. That is temporary
invincibility, and it will be your new best friend for the next 10 seconds. When Barbie starts
flashing, run like hell (like there was a sale at the end of the stage!) to the right, hopping over
the next tennis racket and running straight through the dueling tennis rackets at the end of the
stage. If for some reason your invincibility runs out, carefully jump over the platforms above the
last two tennis rackets. You'll know that your invincibility is almost out when Barbie starts
flashing rapidly.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Sports Department!


Part Two - The Toy Store

Right when Barbie appears in the Toy Store, a ball will be hopping straight toward her. Head to the
left and jump on the raised platform to avoid the ball, then make your way toward the right, hopping
on the platforms.

Jump over the stack of boxes. You'll see a B coin and a toucan below you. To reach it, throw the
toucan a crystal, then hop on its back when it flies over the raised platform. Grab the B, then jump
back on the platform. But be careful - all throughout this level, beach balls are rolling on the
ground, nonstop. Stay on raised platforms whenever possible.

To the right, you'll see an unaccessable B coin on a high platform, next to a cat. Toss the little a
kitten a crystal and it'll push the B onto the ground for you to grab. But WATCH OUT! It's a trap!
As soon as you run over to grab it, two evil kites will swoop down and try to rid Barbie of her
newfound Z's. Jump immediately to avoid them. Keep heading to the right; two more kites will come,
but they're rather easy to avoid.

At the end of the stage, you'll see another kitten sitting in front of a wall with a trap door on it.
That's where the beach balls are coming from! Balls pour out of the wall endlessly. This will test
the blonde wonder's intellect like it has never been tested before. When the beach ball comes toward
you, jump over it; while in the air, throw a crystal to the cat. The trajectory will take some
getting used to, but when the cat gets the crystal, it'll run over and try to close the trap door.
Do this three times and you're done with the Toy Store.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Toy Store!


Part Three - The Boutique

Right when Barbie enters the boutique, she'll see a hat flying toward her in a sine-wave pattern.
Since Barbie didn't get past Algebra I in high school, she's in the dark on what in the world a
"sine wave" is. So let's clear it up a little bit - the hat goes up, down, up, down, in a curvy line,
while moving to the left (for clarification, left is the side that when you hold up your hand in an
L, it's NOT backwards). Jump over the hat as it comes toward you, and then head right. Also, jump
over the shoe that walks toward you when you go to the right; it's not that hard to avoid.

Again, you'll see a cat on a high platform by a B coin. Toss it a <-> crystal and it'll push the B
coin to the ground. Don't worry, there's no traps here.

Soon you'll see a dog, and two gloves coming down from the ceiling. Throw the puppy a crystal and
he'll remove one of them, leaving you to try to avoid the other. It's pretty simple; just wait until
it jabs down, then jump over it. Next you'll see some gowns floating up and down; jump over them.
The hardest part is keeping your balance on the narrow boxes.

And then you'll come to the boss of the level - a conglomeration of clothes floating in midair.
First, it'll throw its shoes at you. Avoid the shoes while they bounce around, and throw crystals of
any kind at the remaining sections floating in the air. Barbie should defeat this menace in no time
at all.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE COMPLETED THE FIRST LEVEL!


----006. Level 2 - The Center of the Mall----


Part 1 - The Galleria

Barbie has a brand new outfit for this level - an elegant, frilly blue dress! In this level, head to
the right. Watch out for the fountains, they spurt out water vertically (that's in the UP direction).
Wait until they stop spewing and walk past them. Keep heading right.

Soon you'll reach another B block. Hit it and get the temporary invincibility. Go right. This part
is kind of tough: jump up onto the purple block, then jump left to the purple platform; get a
running start and jump over the fountain on top of the wall. That might take you a few tries.

Next, you'll see a really long fountain. This is particularly tough because you can't be sure where
the spouts of water are going to come up unless you watch carefully, so tread with care on this
fountain. The spouts come up at approximately the far left, the center, and the far right.

Another long fountain is ahead. This one spawns droplets instead of full blasts of water, so look
before you leap. There are four sources of droplets, evenly spaced throughout the fountain. After
that, there are three large fountains in a row. The part that makes it hard is that the spouts and
droplets come very quickly, so you often get hit after you walk past them. Run over them and try not
to get Barbie's dress wet.

Next is another long fountain... be very careful, because this consists of water spouts and fish.
And they're very close together, about one Barbie width between each other. Wait until the
spout/fish goes down, and then walk JUST past it. Then wait for the next spout to come up and repeat
the process until you're finished.

Now the next part is a bit strange. There are three fountains, and one fish jumping between them.
The fish starts at the right, jumps to the middle, jumps to the left, and jumps all the way back to
the right. Just walk under him and make sure you don't get hit. A similar scenario happens to the
right, except the fish jumps in a right-middle-left-middle-right patterns. There is a B block above
Barbie's head. Jump and hit it when the fish subsides; you should get a B coin for your efforts.

It gets confusing here. There are three fountains, but with TWO fish this time. They seem to jump
randomly from one fountain to the next, so walk under them CAREFULLY. The fish jump very quickly, so
be on your toes. After that, there's four fountains with a fish jumping between them.

There's another B block with temporary invincibility inside (this game passes them out like candy).
The ten seconds that it lasts should be enough to let Barbie run past the rest of the fish fountains
and arrive at another long fountain. This long fountain has several water spouts and fish jumping
between them, making it Barbie's toughest endeavor yet.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Galleria!


Part Two - The Waterfalls

When Barbie appears in this level, you'll see two holes in the wall, with water pouring out of one
of them. Don't touch the water, you'll lose life. Wait until the water stops pouring, then walk past
it. Really, that's basically the whole level, with very few variations. At the end of the level,
you'll see two fountains with water spouts. Walk past them and you've beaten the level.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Waterfalls!


Part Three - The Food Court

Right when you enter the food court, you'll see a pizza rolling at you. Jump over it and head to the
right. You'll see a palm tree; hop on its leaves and use them as a spring board to jump to the next
raised platform with a potted plant on it. Keep heading to the right and eventually you'll see a
toucan; give it a crystal and use it as a platform to clear the stack of boxes. Head to the right.
You shouldn't have too much trouble clearing the level.


Part Four - The Pizzeria

That's right, folks: it's the pizzeria, complete with the cheesy white-and-red plaid tablecloths.
Walk to the right and jump over the tables. And then you'll see it... THE GIGANTIC PIZZA MACHINE
FROM HELL. There are four sections that shoot pizzas at Barbie; the bottom one is closed off, but
the other three above it are still firing away. Use the floating platforms to avoid low-flying
pizzas. Throw crystals at the openings; two shots and that slot will be closed. When you close all
three slots off, you win.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE COMPLETED THE SECOND LEVEL!

Now you get to see a cutscene where Barbie throws several B coins into a fountain. A toucan brings
her a pretty new dress!


"Okay..."

"Time to go the beach..."

"...I wonder what it'd be like to be a mermaid..."

"Just like the one in my book..."


----007. Level 3 - The Beach ----


Part One - The Coral Reef

Barbie starts off as a mermaid. The controls are about the same; up and down are now used to propel
Mermaid Barbie up and down. If you repeatedly tap A, instead of jumping, it makes Barbie swim faster.
You have to hurry in this level, because an evil jellyfish is stalking Barbie.

Swim quickly to the left and grab the starfish for points. Head to the right. Immediately below you,
you'll see a grey little dolphin. Switch to the "?" setting on the Barbie's bracelet and throw a
crystal at the dolphin. If you follow it, Barbie will grab onto its tail and it will drag you throw
the next section without fear of being harmed by seashells and coral. It drops you off after the end
of the first corridor.

Keep going to the right. Avoid the evil pieces of coral and seashells. Below you there's a pearl,
which is the equivalent of a B coin in this level. Grab it and head right; if the jelly fish is far
behind you, you can take the bottom corridor to the left and grab the starfish. You'll see a sea
horse; give him a crystal and he'll fetch you the pearl that is otherwise unaccessable.

Now you have a choice - take the top or the bottom corridor? If you give the stationary fish a
crystal, he'll swim downward, indicating that the bottom one is the correct path. The top dead ends,
with a pearl at the end. It's really your choice, but keep in mind that you're probably going to get
stung by the jellyfish if you take the top path.

Another choice comes after that. Take the top path; it's slightly harder, but there's a pearl on the
way.

After a while, you'll come to a mean looking sea horse. Throw it a <-> crystal; it'll get an
otherwise irretrievable starfish for you.

There are several more forks in the road ahead; take the top road every time. Don't bother turning
back and getting the pearl; it's a decoy. Eventually you'll see a Barbie block in the upper right
hand corner; if you touch it, you'll warp to a dark, secret room. Swim around it and grab the
invisible starfish, then head back out the bottom and continue to the right. If you give the sea
horse a crystal, he'll grab a starfish for you from the coral reef.

Next there is a rather strange scene... tons of point-giving starfish spell out the word "Barbie".
Grab as many as you can and don't worry about the turtles; they won't hurt you. Just before the end
of the level, there's a pearl; grab it. You'll know you've passed the level when you arrive at the
gates of an underwater castle.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Coral Reef!


Part Two - The Sand Castle

Barbie starts off on top of a massive underwater sand castle. Watch out for the water tornadoes;
they can't hurt you, but they will throw off your swimming patterns. The tornadoes are so powerful
that you won't be able to swim upward for a while; throw the sea horse a crystal and he'll retrieve
the pearl for you. Hit as many blocks as you can; most of them will give you points, but one will
give you temporary invincibility. Grab it and swim as fast to the right as you can. When you see a
blue dolphin, switch to the "?" setting again and throw it a crystal. Hold onto it and let it take
you away. Grab the starfish and head into the interior of the sand castle.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Sand Castle!


Part Three - The Throne Room

When you swim into the throne room, you'll see a huge jellyfish guarding the imprisoned king and
queen crabs! Stay near the top of the screen and throw crystals at the little lock on the floor
above the royal crabs. Three hits to the lock and you'll restore the king and queen to their
rightful thrones.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE CLEARED THE THIRD LEVEL!

Another cutscene appears here - Barbie throws her pearls into a giant clam. The clam shuts its
shells, and then opens them a second later to present Barbie with a beautiful pearl ring!

"Hmm... that was fun..."

"But now I'd better hurry to the Soda Shop..."

"Can't be late..."


----008. Level 4 - The Soda Shop - Part One ----


Part One - The Soda Shop Entrance

Barbie has a new outfit for the soda shop: a modest, retro '50s pink dress and white shirt. Head to
the left and collect the retro sunglasses for 100 points. Go right and use the teacup to jump onto
the platforms and grab the ABSOLUTELY GROOOOOVY record near the ceiling. Go right and you'll see a
magnet inching toward another record; jump on the glass, then on the B blocks, and then grab the
record before the ABSOLUTELY EVILLLL magnet snatches it away! Don't worry about touching the magnet;
it can't hurt you.

Head right and touch the single B block; a "Z" will pop out. Grab it and you'll get 1 Z added to
your life meter. Next you'll see a big soda fountain that you can't pass, and an ice cream cone
hopping around. Hit the cone with a <-> crystal to make it change directions. When it comes under
the fountain, switch to "?" crystals and give it one. It'll toss its ice cream up into the air and
turn off the soda fountain. Keep heading to the right.

Hit the B blocks floating in the air; the first one gives you a record. Next you'll see a stack of
teacups; wait for the steam to subside, then jump over them.

Next, you'll see a blinking pair of retro sunglasses and two flying '50s cars (with eyes, no less).
Giving them "?" crystals changes their direction of movement from left-right to down-up, and vice-
versa. Jump on the first one and make it go up and down. Grab the specs before they fade out. Go
right and jump across the soda glasses. Avoid the projectiles being spat horizontally and vertically
at the same time by a malicious (jealous, perhaps?) paper cup. You'll see another ice cream cone to
the right; use the same strategy as before to retrieve the record on the platform.

Head right and jump over the stack of steaming teacups, again. Jump on the car and go down to grab
the record on the floor, but WATCH OUT for the disguised blocks that drop from the ceiling. Next,
you'll see a little burger next to a faucet of soda. Giving it a ? crystal makes it spit out a meat
patty, but giving it a <-> crystal makes it jump on the faucet and close it, allowing you to pass.
Hitting the B blocks on the faucet gives you a record.

Jump onto the platform, then onto the car, then onto the B blocks so that you can jump up and grab
the record. Keep heading right. Jump over the soda bottles and you'll see a burger next to a record;
give it a <-> crystal and it'll push it to where Barbie can reach it. Keep going to the right.

Below the platform, you'll see a bag of popcorn and a record. Treat the popcorn just like you would
the ice cream cone, waiting until it's under the record and then giving it a ? crystal to throw the
record into range. Head right and you'll see a burger next to three faucets. Wait until the burger
is facing right (manipulate it via <-> crystals if needed) and feed it a ? crystal. If planned
correctly, the launched meat patty will turn off all three streams at once

Next there is a VERY tough jump. Take a running start and leap across the gap, making sure you don't
collide with the evil skate on the other side. After that, you'll see a soda walking around; wait
until Barbie is next to it and give it a ? crystal. This should launch Barbie up in the air and over
the stationary soda bottle. A B block ahead gives Barbie another Z.

Keep going right. Near the ceiling is a hard-to-get record; get a running start and jump left to
grab it. It might take a few tries. Head right.

The boss of this level is a large pipe with several faucets that drip soda. This is relatively easy;
jump over the drops on the floor while throwing crystals at the faucet handles to shut each valve
off.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE CLEARED THE FOURTH LEVEL!


----009. Level 5 - The Soda Shop - Part Two ----

Part One - Fast Food

At the beginning of the level there is a record at the top of the ceiling that is very hard to get.
Wait until the hamburger bun raises to the roof, then duck under it before it falls; jump off of the
patty and try to grab the record. You really only get one chance to grab it, but don't worry, it's
not the end of the world if you don't. To the right, you'll see a spoon; walk across it and it will
launch you over the obstacle. Walk past the french fry boxes, being very careful not to be hit by
the vertically launching projectiles. Soon, the french fries will start launching from box to box in
a manner reminiscient of the fish in the second level. Now, they're much harder to predict, so you
just kind of have to blindly run past the boxes and hope you don't get hit.

The next time you see a spoon, jump on it and try to grab the temporary invincibility. Run like hell
to the right past the french fries. When you see the Dessert Menu, you know you've reached the end
of the stage.

Congratulations! You've cleared the Fast Food section!


Part Two - Thick Shakes (boss fight)

Now this boss is one tough customer. Stay on the floor and throw crystals as fast as you can at each
of the three stacks of ice cream. Avoid the cherries. When the soda cup comes, jump on the platforms
to avoid it. When all three stacks of ice cream in the float are completely depleted, you've beaten
this boss.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE CLEARED THE FIFTH LEVEL!


Okay, at this point, I'm not really sure where to go. My cartridge might be glitching up here (it is
almost ten years old), but there is nothing else to do here. Barbie enters a place that looks like a
dance floor, but the floor seems electrified and pushes her back every time she tries to cross the
floor. I've tried everything, and nothing works.

Seems like there's three possible explanations to this...

1) My cartridge is messed up. There's really no solution for this, seeing as how Barbie is long out
of print.

2) The programmers knew no one would buy this game, so they did what another team did to a certain
Atari game - made the last level unbeatable to cut corners and save time. This isn't terribly likely,
but eh, anything's possible.

3) I am dumb. The answer could be sitting right in front of me, and I am too snowblind to see it.
This is Twisted Silence here, folks, so you can't expect too much from him, intellectually.

I'm very sorry if I couldn't help you get past anything from here on. This is Barbie though, folks.
