01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to 'Hirake! Ponkikki' for the NES, a multi-game aimed at kids released
by Takara in 1992.
Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) OVERVIEW & CONTROLS G0200
===============================================================================
Hirake! Ponkikki was a long-running animated show for kids for the purpose of
education.
After picking the character (it does not matter which - they are the same)
you will see the main map. Your aim is to clear all mini-stages to open up the
path to the other side. On 2-Player mode, both characters are used anyway.
Controls differ from game to game. On the main map, simply walk around with
the directional pad and walk on the stages to play them. Step on each house
apart of yours where you start out. When you are done with the quest inside,
the sign will turn into a smiley face.
The game starts with 2 extra lives. If you fail a stage you return to the main
map to try again. On the third, fourth and fifth world you get an extra life,
I'm not sure if this depends on your score or is simply when you get there.
When you die, the game gives you a password to return to a previously played
area. Codes are the same for 1 or 2 player mode, as well as either character
used in single player. In other words, they are for location only.
All games give you point, but it does not matter what you score as long as you
finish the stage. For example the platformer, you may not bother picking up
every fruit around.
===============================================================================
03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300
===============================================================================
I'm listing the stages as the first ones you get to on the main path. You may
tackle any stage in the order you want, as long as you can walk to it on the
map. If there are multiple paths it will say where the mini-game is located.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Hiking G0310
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1-1:
``````````
This is a platformer. Use either button to jump and pick up the fruit along
the way. There are enemies crawling towards you which you cannot touch. Avoid
or jump over them as one touch will kill you.
Soon the screen will start scrolling very slowly. Your character walks
automatically at the same pace the scrolling moves along, so if you want to
stay at the same position, move back and forth.
There is a fruit on the first platform, and another one shortly below the
second. Jump on the next one to reach the 3rd fruit far up. Keep climbing
to reach the 4th, then drop down and grab the one that is just below where you
were standing.
The 6th fruit is just at the top of the hill, before it slopes down again.
Watch out for the rather quick pig running across as you grab it. The 7th
fruit is after the second platform, you can get it from the ground. Now stay
towards the back of the screen, as a fruit will shortly pop up you may miss if
you keep far ahead. Then run forward and jump slightly backwards to reach the
fruit there, then the one on the hill.
You've reached the finish line with all 10 fruit!
Stage 1-2:
``````````
There are 8 UFOs or some kind. The second character will hide in one of them
and those objects will switch around. Keep an eye out for the one that
contains your friend.
When they have stopped moving, select the one where you think he is hiding in.
If you guessed wrong, you lose an apple. You start the game with 5 apples.
You can lose several apples in one round. After three rounds the stage is
over and you get to keep the remaining apples.
Stage 1-3:
``````````
A game of rock-paper-scissors. Use the directional pad to select an icon as it
says on screen.
UP - Rock, DOWN - Paper, LEFT/RIGHT - Scissors. Press and hold the button!
The aim is to win against the other character in a race for three
strawberries. You get three no matter how many times the other person won the
game. The conditions of winning are:
ROCK beats SCISSORS.
PAPER beats ROCK.
SCISSORS beat PAPER.
In the event of a tie, the round is simply replayed.
As you cannot see the opponent's hand before it is mainly based on luck. So
good luck!
Stage 1-4:
``````````
The character will catch a shape which you need to throw up with the X or Y
button. As you may have noticed, the shapes match to the ones on the castle
wall. Step under and throw it at the correct one to turn a get a bunch of
bananas.
Every time you are done with one shape, the character automatically moves back
to get the next one.
You start the stage with 10 stars, you lose one roughly every few seconds,
perhaps 8. When you have managed to get 5 bananas the stage is complete.
Stage 1-5:
``````````
You start this maze with 10 stars. They represent time, but not seconds.
Instead they are roughly eight seconds each which makes the total amount of
time available ~80 seconds. It could also be a minute.
The target is to collect as many cherries as possible. Walk around the maze
with the directional pad to gather them all. Simply walk on the outer circle,
then the inner circle.
When you are done, step on the smiley face in the center to leave.
*******************************************************************************
The path to the mountain is now open. Walk towards it to have a picnic. Then
cross the bridge to the next area.
*******************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ocean Swimming G0320
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PASS: Banana - Cherry - Strawberry - Melon
Stage 2-1:
``````````
Another rock-paper-scissors game, see Stage 1-3 for instructions. This time you
race to four wins instead of three.
Stage 2-2:
``````````
The maze again. The design is more into corridors rather than circles. Sweep
through the bottom two and then watch the enemy movements. The one above the
two cherries patrols those four tiles. The higher one simply walks around the
smiley face area.
After you time your way past the first one, grab the cherry in the corner and
then return to where you were standing. Get up into the top left corner second
and then pick up the last cherry before leaving.
Stage 2-3:
``````````
The UFOs are moving faster than, and there are more switches. Otherwise it's
the same game and you have to find your friend three times to end this.
Stage 2-4:
``````````
The first part is exactly the same as previously played. The new games comes in
when you are done. After five shapes, 2 shapes will be on the wall only and you
need to throw the remaining two shapes to match them up. So, nothing different
really, but you score 7 bananas instead.
Stage 2-5:
``````````
The platform level again. Pay attention as early on a rapid pig will run
through from the right side.
Grab the fruit on the first platform, then jump on the lower on of the next
pair for the 2nd. See the jumping foe there? When he's done jumping, get on
the higher platform and drop off on the other end. There is another fruit as
well. When you see another platform, jump up there. Wait on the higher one as
the pig runs through at the bottom. Wait some more as the 4th fruit shows up
really late. Jump down and grab the one between the small hills as well as the
one popping up shortly afterwards. The large hill contains two fruit in total.
Finally, the small hills up ahead will reveal the last two fruit before you
complete the level.
*******************************************************************************
Walk down to the beach to have a rest/swim. Then continue right to be picked
up by a ship.
*******************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoo Garden G0330
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PASS: Melon - Strawberry - Banana - Cherry
Stage 3-1:
``````````
Same as before, but the second round consists of three rather than two shapes.
It total you will have eight bananas. The only part that gets tougher is that
you spend slightly more time in completing this.
Stage 3-2: (Bottom Left)
``````````
The UFOs move even faster and make more switches. Pay close attention and you
will get all three as usual.
Stage 3-3: (Bottom Right)
``````````
First take all the cherries at the top half of the screen. Go down into one
corner and grab the rest, then walk into the middle and watch the upper foe's
movement. He will step up once in a while, which is your turn to grab those
two cherries. When he moves again, get to the other corner and grab the fruit
before you return to the center one final time. Ignore the lower enemy
completely.
Stage 3-4: (Top Left)
``````````
Yet another rock-paper-scissors game, see Stage 1-3 for the instructions. This
time you race to five wins instead of four.
Stage 3-5: (Top Right)
``````````
Be vary of the pig coming in on the right side as soon as the stage starts.
Stay on the first platform until it nearly disappears, grab the fruit and jump
up to the higher one. Drop down to grab the 2nd fruit. The third fruit is lying
on the next platform already, with another popping up slightly above shortly
afterwards.
Run up the hill, pick up the one that is just as it slopes down and then wait
on the edge just before the jumping enemy. A fruit will appear to the top left
of the screen. Quickly grab it, then jump so you get the one where the foe
hits the highest point in his jump. You need to jump up and get it on the way
down so you still make it to the right of the guy, without hitting him!
The 8th fruit is on the next small hill. When you see the small robot tank,
time it so you jump over it and get the fruit at the same time. The final tiny
hill has the last fruit before you reach the finish line.
*******************************************************************************
You spend a day at the zoo. A bird will fly you to the next area.
*******************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amusement Park G0340
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PASS: Banana - Strawberry - Cherry - Melon
Stage 4-1:
``````````
After dispatching the first five shapes, four more will pop up. Match them all
to get 9 bananas.
Stage 4-2:
``````````
Jump on the first platform, then wait for the fruit to appear on the right of
it. Quickly jump down when the robot is on the other side, then back up and
grab the fruit on the higher ledge. The 3rd fruit is up on the hill, followed
by the 4th between the smaller ones. Stay back as the 5th will pop up just
below and to the right. Jump over the hopping foe, yet stay just on the right
of him as there will be a fruit here shortly before the screen scrolls too
far. Next, jump over the big while you snatch the fruit up there.
When you get to the parts where the gap between the platforms and the ground is
very tight, jump up on the platform and grab the 8th fruit. The 9th will appear
slightly hidden in the next platform, and the final one up on the third. Avoid
the robot on the way to the finish line.
Stage 4-3:
``````````
The fourth time to play rock-paper-scissors game and still nothing has changed
to the game mechanics. See Stage 1-3 for the instructions. This time you race
to six wins instead of five.
Stage 4-4:
``````````
It's much easier than it looks. Grab the cherries in one bottom corner, then
the other. Go up into one top corner for some more and then go across the
middle while avoiding the enemies. Their paths are easily avoided. Return to
the center to finish the stage.
Stage 4-5:
``````````
As usual the UFOs will switch more than previously, but that is about it. Find
your friend three times to finish this quickly.
*******************************************************************************
The two guys visit the amusement park and take a balloon ride.
*******************************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Land G0340
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PASS: Cherry - Melon - Banana - Strawberry
Stage 5-1:
``````````
After the five initial shapes, the order of them will change and you get to do
it all over again for a grand total of 10 bananas. You should end up with 3
stars if you do it properly, more than enough spare time.
Stage 5-2: (Top)
``````````
One last time, the rock-paper-scissors game. For instructions please refer to
Stage 1-3. After you win 7 rounds before the opponent, you win.
Stage 5-3: (Bottom)
``````````
Start by jumping up on the first platform for the 1st fruit. Then hop over the
enemy to the higher ledge and wait for the 2nd platform. Grab the next fruit on
the way and yet another slightly hidden in the floor. Just walk into it. There
is another fruit on the slope after the slow pig. The 6th fruit is just down
the chasm.
Jump up to the ledge and wait for the fruit, then hop over to the next one to
grab the 8th fruit. Avoid the enemy and go up the slope. You will see a fruit
up ahead but don't be too eager and wait for the 9th to appear on the slope
first, then grab the last one down the drop. Time it to walk under the enemy
and finally finish this level.
Stage 5-4: (Top)
``````````
Again, the UFOs. There is nothing different apart of perhaps a few more
switches between them. After 3 successful rounds you are done with this game.
Stage 5-5: (Bottom)
``````````
If you are only one player then you first have to grab both cherries in each of
the side corridors. Then start the center bit from the bottom. Getting past the
first guy is really easy, so when you are on the heart tiles underneath the
second, watch his movements. He will go left and right but never touch the
heart tiles on each side. Run past him into one corner, and if you are quick
enough quickly back to the center. However, you have enough time to wait for
him in the corner and return when he is going the other way. Do this for the
other side and then run up to the top.
*******************************************************************************
Enter the factory. You take a rocket into space...
