| STAGE 1 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
When you press start you'll be in a house controlling Garfield. When you press
up or down you can switch between 2 and 4 legs walking mode, I personally
think walking on 2 legs is better because you can use your feet to attack.
Jump on the table and walk to the right of it. A cup of coffee will appear,
take it so you'll get some more power. Now hop onto the wardrobe and pick the
other coffee. Jump on the higher window and pick up the bowl. When you
continue watch out for the frog, climb the table and evade the spider.
Take the boots and go on the bed. Continue and watch out for the little green
thing because it will stunn you. At the end of the chamber jump towards the
right window and a key will appear, get it and open the door.
** Area 2 **
The first thing you'll see is that you're outside, notice the fence and the
little thing on the ground. Hop on the fence and over the baseball. Now go
down and take the boots, continue and hop over the bird so it won't hit you.
At the end you need to jump on the highest point of the wall and jump as high
as you can and you'll find the key. Up to the next area!
** Area 3 **
Watch out for the baseball, go on and wait under the table, when the frog has
jumped over you go on. Pay attention because a grey mouse will appear and
attack you. Jump on the closets and at the end jump off. The key is next to
the table on the left. On the table is a cup of coffee. Stay as high as you
can and evade the enemies like the mouse and the worms. Jump down and go to
the next stage.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 2 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
You'll find a short cutscene. You'll now be in town.
There are several cofees hidden at the building. Climb the fence and get the
boots. Jump over the fish but be careful because it can jump pretty high.
Beat the spider with your dual shot. The key is located at the window of the
building at the end of the area.
** Area 2 **
This is one small area, just make your way to the end, the key is located at
the highest point at the right.
** Area 3 **
Go to the right, hop on the fence and over the little pool. Shoot the fish if
you have any troubles. Go on and watch out for the mices. You'll find a cup of
coffee at the right window, the key is in front of the door.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 3 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
You'll see another cutscene asking if you find Odie. Nope so go search a
little bit more. Work your way through by hopping on the fences and shooting
at the birds and spiders. Be careful for the birds and the frogs. You'll find
the key at the end of the level when you jump.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 4 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
The hunt for Odie downtown starts now. Go right (duh) and you'll find a
dead fish, at the building with the "sale" signs you'll find a bone weapon.
You'll find another few buildings like the restaurant, after that there is an
empty building with boots in front of it, take them to go faster. The other
restaurant also has bones. Continue and shoot the annoying birds, the key is
located beneath the ladder.
** Area 2 **
This area has a lot of boxes where you can jump on. If you keep jumping on
those you likely won't be hit much but if you want to take the risk and get
some health jump down and shoot the worms and stuff. At the end you'll need to
climb the ladder and jump towards the right window. The key will appear above
it.
** Area 3 **
You'll be back outside, the first thing you'll need to take care off is the
white mouse, shoot it before it can hit you. There is a bone weapon at the
left corner of the building. Go on and make frog mouse of it, at the sale
house there will be a stunnr mouse, hop over it and find a coffee under the
sale sign. If you go on there will be another white mouse crossing the screen.
At the restaurant are 2 birds so take out your cheese cannon. Continue and
find the boots and a coffee. After the restaurant there will be a cat with
some kind of rocket launcher. The easiest way to evade the rockets or knifes
or whatever is to jump the ladder. Stand still on the first few. Shoot your
cheese cannon and the bullets will hit him. When that's gone you can try to
hit him with the other weapon. After some time you'll beat him. Take the key
located in front of the door if you jump up and go to the next area.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 5 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
You're still in town, take the bone cannon in front of you. When you go right
watch out for the white mice. At the trashcans is a stunner mouse so jump on
the cans to evade it. Go on and keep jumping on the trashcans to evade another
white mouse, jump down when you reach the single one. Pick the boots and
continue. At the door will ber a bone gun and another pair of boots. A spider
will block your way so shoot it with one of your guns. First jump on the
trashcans to evade a white mouse. At the end will be some other cans when you
jump on them be careful you don't be hit by the frog. Get the key, it's again
in front of the door when you jump.
** Area 2 **
Back in a house. The first thing you should do is hop on the table for a white
mouse and take your cheese gun for the bird. Hop on the refridgerator for
another two white mice. Keep walking on the desk and walk between the two
frogs. Keep hopping because there will be another mouse running to the left.
Jump on the desk and beat the spider. If you hop onto the other desk you can
evade the baseball. Don't jump on the high closets for a mouse but you have to
on the small ones for another mouse. When you jump down quickly run towards
the desk to evade two white mice. When they are gone hop onto the desk and
jump to the right, the key is beneath the right window.
** Area 3 **
Back outside, mind the frog and continue. Jump to the windows to hop over a
mouse, quickly take out your cheese cannon and shoot on the bird. There is
also a bone weapon beneath the windows. Watch out when you reach the trashcans
because there are 2 white mice running. A spider will crawl down. When you
continue there is a frog and a bird so let the frog hop over you and shoot the
bird. Hop on the fence for a cup of coffee. There will be another shooting
cat-like creature that wants to take care of you. The best place to shoot is
on the brick wall. When it's dead take the key (next to the tree).
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 6 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
You'll now be in a forest. When you reach the trees jump up so the white mouse
can't hit you. Walk on and the frog will jump over you. Further will be a
red-purple bird, you have to shoot it a couple of times. Hop on the brick wall
but watch out for the stunner mouse. You almost can't see it because of the
green plants. Continue to see a frog and another mouse. Jump over them. When
you jump on the high wall make sure you go far enough so a white mouse won't
hit you. Don't walk under the trees because a worm will fall down and a frog
will be jumping around. When the brick wall ends is a spider, shoot it to
continue. A stunner mouse will fall down from the second tree, you need to
shoot this one because it won't go away. Continue to find another worm and
frog. Wow there is a lot of stuff in these trees, also another spider and
mouse. Cross the bridge but shoot the fish first. At the other side of the
river will be a frog and a white mouse. Go on to find another bunch of trees
with worms, spiders and mice. Go on the mountain and shoot the two birds.
There will be a stunner mouse and a spider. Also some frogs and birds.
At the end will be another cat boss for you. Just do what you always do.
When it's dead hop on the fence and jump towards the window and take the key.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 7 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
Stil in a garden or a forest, the first thing to do is to shoot the bird.
Take the bone gun on the brick wall and jump to the he tree to evade a
white mouse. Further will be a frog and you need to jump when you see the two
trees for a white mouse. There will be two more frogs. When you reach a
building jump to the indows to evade a white & stunner mouse. The key will be
beneath the right window.
** Area 2 **
Walk to the locker and jump on the desk to evade two mice. There is also a
stunner mouse so be careful. Hop down and walk under the two closets because
there will be a white mouse running on top of them. Go on and evade the other
mice. The key is hidden above the third locker.
** Area 3 **
Keep jumping to evade the white mice and the frogs, also the stunners. Hop
over the pool and jump up so a white mouse can pass. Hop over the pools and go
on. There is a spider at the brick wall. Jump for some white mice. The key is
located in front of the door.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 8 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
Back in town, there will be some blue frogs and grey mice. When you're at the
end jump from the ladder to the right and you'll find the key, keep jumping
because you'll probably won't find it from the first time.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAGE 9 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
** Area 1 **
At the end jump at the right window and you'll find the key.
** Area 2 **
At the end will be the final boss. Because AdamL complained I didn't explain
how to beat this cat: This guy uses knifes to hit Garfield. You'll need to
stand under the ladder, now select either your burger or cheese gun to hit him
I personally prefer the cheese gun above the burger one but you can try it
yourself. The trick is to position yourself where this fat cat has the least
chance to hit you with his knifes. If you use the cheese gun and you're
standing on the right place (beneath or atop of the ladder) you can hit him
easily and your bullets will also hit the knifes.
When he's dead you'll have Odie back!
You don't need a key to go on to the next area.
** Area 3 **
Just walk to the right and into the other door. Thada! You beat Garfield.
To AdamL : I know this guide isn't the best one but I never wrote one for a
NES game so when I did a few games I probably update this guide
and use the experience I got from the others. Thank you.
