01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to 'Takahashi Meijin no Bug-tte Honey' for the NES, released by Hudson
in 1987.
The game is based on a manga cartoon that ran in Japan from 1986 to 1987.
A little bit of trivia: the stage passwords are the two main characters "Bug
Honey", "Takahasi", the game is developed "By Hudson" and they also created a
game called "Hector 87" which is known as "Starship Hector" in the US. Not sure
about two of the passwords that are used in the second round.
Suggestions, comments or errors - tell me about it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) BASICS G0200
===============================================================================
Controls:
`````````
Main:
A Jump as Takahashi, repeatedly press it to gain higher ground with Bug
B Attack
D-Pad You can also move around in any direction. Up is normally the same as
pressing A as Bug, but also enters buildings if you are positioned
correctly. When you stand on a tall building or thin ledge, press DOWN to
drop down from it.
START Pause/Resume
Arkanoid:
D-Pad Left and Right moves the paddle
A Fire
B Thunder/Wave
START Pause/Resume
Display:
````````
During the platformer, the score is in the top left corner. The power bar is
your life bar, and decreases as you get hurt. Replenish it with hearts because
when it is depleted you will lose a life. The remaining lifes are in the top
right corner. When all lifes are gone the game is over.
During the Arkanoid level, all you have is the score in the top left corner as
before, and the small paddle icons in the top right represent how many you have
left before needing to re-start the current level from the beginning.
Power-Ups:
``````````
Find items by breaking open the lollipops or lanters, they respawn when you
leave the screen but often they contain nothing.
Avatar Increases attack power by one, reduced again by getting hit
Heart Restores your health.
Star Temporarily Invincible.
Bee 1UP
Egg Enters an Arkanoid level. Don't mistake this for the flashing egg which
only tells you the current state of the password.
Arkanoid:
`````````
The principle is simple: you release the ball at the start and move the paddle
so it does not leave the lowest area (else you die). Hit the ball into the
blocks to destroy them and release items or letters. When you see the letter
you need, pick it up. Else let it drop down into nowhere. When all the blocks
are gone in the upper area, the very top of the level will open up. Knock the
ball out of here to finish the level. If you did not pick up the required
letter you will have to come back here again.
Of course it is not as simple as simple hitting green blocks with different
layouts. There are special blocks and upgrades the will make it more
interesting.
First off, if you hit the ball back from the top floor by using the paddle, it
will turn red and destroy anything in its path for a while. This can result in
clearing out the entire stage withing seconds. Keep it in mind for some quick
madness but you also have to pay attention a lot more at the same time.
Upgrades:
These do not stack and replace each other.
<-> Widens your paddle. Very useful to hit the ball easier, but also means
you pick up items more often (such as the wrong letters).
Waves Creates a shockwave that acts as a paddle further up the screen and
thus bounces the ball when the timing is right. Use the B button to
use.
Thunder Use the B button to fire at blocks, counts like a hit with the ball. It
recharges slowly but you will know when it's ready when your paddle
flashes.
Blocks:
Common These ordinary block break within one hit and come in many colors. Do
not confuse these with the ones that will be explained to you later. To
differentation, look at them closely. You will see they are a full
square, whereas special blocks have small idents on each side and a
slightly elevated square in the middle. They can also take up two
spaces.
Solids These hard blocks cannot be destroyed - ever. Recognize them by the 4
tiny bolts in each corner and the small square in the center. Solids
are marked as (@) on the maps.
Bomb Contains a bomb that is uncovered after the first hit. When it is
struck again it will explode and take out the entire row vertically and
horizontally attached. This also sets chain reactions in motion with
nearby bombs. You can take out entire squares if there are enough well
placed bombs around it.
Strong Will brittle with each hit but takes four times to completely be
destroyed.
Alien The usually grey block will release a pink alien when it is first hit.
On the second it will be destroyed. The pink alien will fly around
until the ball or the paddle hits it. Because it moves it can often
come to a surprise and deflect the ball in a direction you do not
desire it to go, thus they can be very annoying. The blocks can also be
pink like the other styles.
Cheats:
```````
Pro Action:
F6AF0C1E Incincible (does not seem to work at bosses though)
Hex:
0080 - Infinite Power (set at 14)
0081 - Infinite Lives (set at 2)
00B4 - Infinite Balls in Arkanoid mode (set at 2)
00C5 - Invincible Item last forever (set at 9)
[Thanks to AdamL for these]
When at the Game Over screen, hold down UP + A and press START to continue from
the stage you died in.
===============================================================================
03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300
===============================================================================
For each stage of the game there are two parts. The first is a platformer where
you have to find eggs to start the second part - Arkanoid. 8 eggs are hidden
anywhere in the area including the buildings. Shoot around until you spot
something strange in the background and keep hitting it until the egg drops
down. Enter it to start the Arkanoid level. In order to finish this part you
must destroy all blocks in the upper half of the level to open up the ceiling
panel. At the same time you must also collect the correct letter when it drops
down from one of the broken blocks. If you pick up the wrong letter or let the
ball drop down from the lower half you will lose a paddle life. When all lifes
are lost you must re-enter the level and start from the beginning, plus you
lose an actual life too.
To summarize:
- Find an egg and pick it up to enter the Arkanoid level.
- Play Arkanoid until the required letter drops down.
- Collect the correct letter and finish the level.
- Complete the password to open up the exit, then leave.
What follows are more notes and the layouts of the Arkanoid levels so you know
which letter or number to grab when playing them. They are random so check it
out. Eggs also show up again so you will have to replay the ones you have
already completed unless you keep track of where you found it earlier. Each
building only contains 1 egg, the rest are in the main area.
If you happen to come to one that is not familiar to you looking at the list
below, check the upper half of this level. If it says HELL in the solid blocks
then you are in for a ride, because this one is really tough to beat and the
only reward for reaching the ceiling opening is that you can continue on
without losing a life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1: BUGHONEY G0310
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three doors with a Chinese Dragon Fan Mini-Boss behind each of them.
You don't have to defeat it to find the egg, you could just fly above it.

BOSS
````
You don't keep your upgraded weapon so the puny throwing axe will do. Also aim
for the fire balls (you don't have much choice as they come straight for you)
and do not attempt to touch the boss. He will go down in around 10 hits against
his head.
100,000 points is your reward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3: BYHUDSON G0330
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like Stage 2, you will face the same enemies. The gates have been replaced
with ancient buildings to enter.

BOSS
````
Similar to the Stage 2 boss, but has an extra jumping attack that shakes the
entire screen. 10 hits against his head are once again enough to defeat him.
140,000 points is your reward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 4: HECTOR87 G0340
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the eggs are in their usual hiding spots, but you will soon find that
the letter 'H' is nowhere to find. However, you might have noticed there is a
statue half-way through the area. Stand just on top of it, hiding it with your
body, and then start bashing the attack button. If you do it fast enough the
egg will automatically drop on you and the Arcanoid level starts. If you are
having trouble with this, here are few tips:
Grab an invincible item. It only last a while but at least you don't get hurt
by the nearby enemies as you blast the statue.
Use a controller that has auto-fire, and set it to FAST if there is such a
setting.
If you have none of the above, just try your best. Really slam the button as if
you were playing one of those Konami Track & Field games.
Make sure you stand just where the statue is, not in front or above it.

BOSS
````
The boss consists of three small guys that jump from one side to the other
while firing at you. I've found the best way to stay alive is keep running back
and forth so they continue jumping and you also have the chance to fire at
them. Most of their shots will go well over your head. You can hit any of the
creatures. At around 15 damage they will all die at the same time.
200,000 points is your reward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End G0350
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you complete the game, it restarts from Stage 1. The game is essentially
the same but for the stage passwords. The characters you should collect now
are:
Stage 1 VERYGOOD
Stage 2 HUMANC62
Stage 3 HATISUKE
Stage 4 THANKYOU
Keep this in mind when using the above maps. The ending of the 2nd game is
still the same screen in case you were wondering.
