1. Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to my first Walkthrough! Hopefully I will be able to guide you through
all aspects of this wonderful game and answer any questions you may have
previously had. In Bob the Builder: Can We Fix It? we follow the adventures of
Bob, a contract Builder and his friends which include a variety of human and
mechanical characters. You participate in rescue missions, building operations,
square dancing and so much more. Without further ado, let us begin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Menu & Controls

Controls
========
The controls in this game are very simplistic as this game was meant for a
younger audience, but differ slightly from activity to activity. All movement
can be done with the directional buttons or the left analog stick. Some games
require use of the X button to perform certain actions. The start button can be
used any time to access the in-game menu. No other buttons are used in this
game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All jobs can be done on Easy, Medium and Hard mode. Before selecting which job
you can choose one hardhat for easy, two hardhats for medium and three
hardhats for hard depending on which difficulty you want. There are no extra
rewards or advantages for completing a mission on hard mode. The jobs and
activities can be done in any order at any time.
=====================
3/a. Porcupine Rescue
=====================
Tunnel Time
Mission: "Help Lofty build a safe porcupine subway."
The porcupines need to cross the road, but it's not safe! You must use Lofty's
"loftiness" abilities to complete the underground pipeline.
This is a basic matching game. Several pieces of pipe will appear on the
ground, by moving your hook and pressing X you can pick up your desired piece.
To add the piece to the pipeline simply hover the piece over the incompleted
area that matches your piece and press X again to lower it in. Repeat this
process several times with each piece and those porcupines will be safe from
traffic in no time. This activity is quite easy as there is no time limit and
you can keep trying as long as you like.
=====================
3/b. Travis' Race Day
=====================
Race with Scoop and Dizzy
Mission: "Race [Scoop/Dizzy] against Travis to prove who is the fastest!"
It's a high stakes, take all, no rules race to the finish. Who will win? You
shall decide!
In this game you can choose to be either Scoop or Dizzy (it doesn't make a
difference, both they handle the same) to race with. You race with a 2D
overview and there are three laps to each race. Acceleration can be done by
holding up on the directional pad or left analog stick or by holding the X
button. To slow down, simply release whatever method you are using, there are
no brakes. The key to this game is avoiding the on-track obstacles which range
from pylons, to old fashioned wagon wheels to hurdles. Running into any one of
these (or your opponent, Travis) causes you to drop back quite a distance, but
don't worry! By moving out of the way you'll be back on track in a jiffy!
====================
3/c. Plumbing Puzzle
====================
Radiator Riddle
Mission: "Help Bob and Wendy fit the new central heating."
Mrs. Potts' heating system has gone haywire! It's time for Bob and his wife
Wendy to step in and make things right.
Ah yes, another matching game. The challenge here it to fix this poor womans
radiators and heating. This can be accomplished matching the parts Wendy gives
you to the outlines scattered throughout the house. Remember that each part is
colour coded to a specific room inside the house. The rooms are as follows,
from left to right: PURPLE (the bedroom), BLUE (the foyer), RED (the living
room), GREEN (the kitchen). To get a part from Wendy simply walk up to her and
you shall receive, Wendy is located in the Kitchen. Once you've got your first
part first look at it's colour. Then when you have figured out which room it
corresponds to find the outline that matches it best inside the room. Pressing
the X button in front of the outline should allow Bob to implement the piping
or radiator. Report back to Wendy for your next piece. Once all of the outlines
are filled the heating will be fixed and it'll be a job well done.
Fix the Leaks
Mission: "Quick! Help Bob fix the leaks in the pipes."
A race against the clock as you fight for your life or prepare to be swallowed
up in a watery grave.
The same house as in Radiator Riddle, but this time you have to fix leaks, and
this time there's a danger. Time. As Bob your goal is to fix all of the leaky
pipes before it's too late. Walk around until you find a leak, then standing in
front of it, press the X button to mend it. Repeat this process several times
until the meter in the top right corner is full and the house is leak free!
If you can hear a strong dripping noise there is still a leak in the room.
Congratulations, you've fixed Mrs. Potts' house, she is very happy!
=====================
3/d. Can We Build It?
=====================
Knock It Down
Mission: "Help Lofty knowck the old bridge down safely."
Lightning has struck the old town bridge, Lofty is sent out to risk his life
and destroy it completely before there are any more casualties!
Lofty is controlled automatically so the only button you'll need here is the
good ole' X button. But it won't be that easy, in order to do this, one must
have a tonne of concentration. When Lofty's wrecking ball is in front of one of
the four towers holding up the bridge slam down the X button to swing that
baby to rubble! It will take a few hits to completely destroy each one. Once
each tower no longer exists your mission will be completed.
Build It Up
Mission: "Help Lofty build the bridge one section at a time."
Using Lofty's titanic strength you must rebuild the bridge and save the world
from congested traffic!
Alright, we've taken down the old bridge, time to put up a new one. To start,
we've got two types of bridge materials sitting on the ground. We have the pole
shaped materials, and the underwear (O_o) shaped materials. There are four sets
of materials (red, white, yellow and grey) having one of each shaped materials
in each group. To build each section of the bridge you must pick up a piece by
hovering the crane above and pressing X. First you'll want the pole shaped
pieces, once a pole piece is picked up move it above the section that matches
its colour, and press X once more to drop it. Next you'll need the underwear
shaped piece and do the same except place it on top of the pole piece of the
same colour. Once all four supports are built, the bridge will be completed!
===================
3/e. Bubble Trouble
===================
Bubble Trouble
Mission: "Quick! Help Roley pop all the bubbles."
Bob has set down some concrete, but something has gone wrong! The bubbles are
ruining it. As Roley, eliminate as many enemy bubbles as you can.
Basically in this job you must maneuver Roley the steam roller over bubbles
which randomly appear over the square landscape. To win, you must completely
fill up the bubble meter in the top right corner of the screen. But act fast
because there is a time limit and bubbles pop after a short amount of time! I
find it helps to stay in the center and immediatly make your way towards the
emerging bubbles.
===============
3/f. Scary Spud
===============
Scary Spud
Mission: "Help Spud scare the hungry crows away from the seeds."
Crows are invading the field and stealing your seeds, chase the winged vermin
away as Spud the moving Scarecrow!
Scary Spud is a slightly enhanced and more difficult version of Bubble Trouble.
Except this time you are not a steam roller, you are a scarecrow. And you're
not running over bubbles, but scaring crows. When the crows land you walk over
to them to scare them away, and the crow meter in the bottom left corner will
begin to fill up. IMPORTANT: the crows must touch the ground before you scare
them or the meter will NOT fill up. Additionally there is now a seed meter,
which if filled up means you lost too many seeds from those darned crows, the
game will end. Take too long and the time meter will fill up, again you will
lose. Just look for groups of crows, wait until they land and then release full
hell on them. When the X button is pressed Spud will emit one of two flatulence
noises, I do not know the purpose of this and it seems to not effect gameplay,
although it is very amusing.
=====================
3/g. Wendy's Birthday
=====================
Cake-tastic!
Mission: "Help Bob decorate a birthday cake for Wendy."
With your powerful designing skills it is up to YOU to create the ultimate cake
for Wendy.
To start, we've got a plain vanilla cake. Time to spruce it up a bit. On the
side you can select which tool to decorate with by selecting it with the X
button. I have created a list of every possible topping. Let your imagination
free when creating the biggest, best cake you can!
Mission: "Enjoy a dance with Bob and Wendy!"
It's square dancing time! This was easily the most amusing part of the entire
game.
Dancing is a simple as pressing a directional button. I've included a list of
every dance move so you can dish out some moves. Each move ends with a left
foot step and then a right foot step. So far I have been able to get eight
dance moves into one session. You will be opted to play back or make a new
dance sequence after when finished.
Up: snap fingers twice, two steps.
Down: touch each foot with the opposite hand, two steps.
Left: slide, wave hands in air, two steps.
Right: clap, two steps.
======================
3/h. Where's Pilchard?
======================
Mission: "Help Wendy find where Pilchard is hiding."
Pilchard is missing, but it's almost dinnertime! Use your detective training to
find that sneaky cat.
Using a dinner bowl as a cursor you must find Pilchard (a blue cat) in several
different scenes. In all honesty it is the easiest thing I have done in my
life. Ever. Pilchard is usually fully exposed or has it's large tail sticking
out through its hiding place. Once you've spotted it navigate the dinner bowl
over the cat and press X to capture it and make it eat its dinner. If you are
having trouble the purring sound of the cat will increase in volume the closer
the bowl is.
