~Introduction~
I used to play this game 24/7 all the time when i was kid,
then I had to sell my Genesis when we moved, but i recently stumbled upon this
gem while i have perfected myself at this game, i have only ever found 1 FAQs
about this game, that being said i thought i had to contribute something
so i added the only thing that Guide didn’t have, a complete Enemies list
~Controls~
D-Pad = Moves Kid in said direction
A = Run/Walk
B = Jump
C = Attack/Action (or use whatever Power the Helmet has)
Start = Pause
A + Start = Use your Diamond Power, provided you have enough Diamonds
You can change the controls and Auto-run in the options Menu
~Premise~ (Copied Directly from the handbook)
Wild Side is the newest game in town. It's a hologram that creates a reality
not our own. You step inside to play, and the door locks behind you. Nobody
knows what goes on inside, because nobody ever comes out!
Kids are disappearing left and right. Heady Metal, the boss of the game, has
escaped. He's capturing kids by defeating them at their own game. Soon nobody
will be left to challenge the dark destroyer.
But one kid appears on the scene who refuses to be beaten. He is the toughest,
coolest head in town. He's Kid Chameleon!
Take Kid Chameleon into Wild Side and give Heady Metal and his gruesome
underlings a taste of their own aspirin. Because Kid Chameleon is about to
cause a few headaches of his own!
~Diamond Powers~
Diamond Powers: Diamond powers are used by pressing Start + A while in game,
most of them are pretty useless, but some are just great. Here is a list of all
of them and what they do
Circle Of Doom (20): Causes a circle of diamonds to surround Kid, hurts enemies
that get near you... but they can still hurt you
Death Snake (50): Creates a diamond snake that tracks down and kills all
enemies on the screen
Samurai Haze (20): Slows down all enemies on the screen
Fatal Beam (2): Shots a beam straight forward, doing 1hp worth of dmg to
anything it hits
Extra HP (50): Give you an extra HP til you die
Extra Life (50): Gets you an extra life
Invulnerability (20): Can’t be killed by enemies or spikes for a short period
of time, can still be squished, fall of the screen, and time out
Wall Of Death (50): Makes rows of diamonds attack everything on the screen
Slashing Rain (20): Rains down diamonds hurting anything in its path
Tracking Rain (50): Rains down diamond that track and kill everything on the
screen
3-way shot (5): Shoots a 3-way shot, goes forward, up 45 and down 45
Mini-Snake (20): Like death snake but smaller and slower
Swift Mini-Snake (50): Just a faster mini-snake
~Helmets~

the right lvl, that will make same lvls go from impossible to just plan hard ^.^

Notes:
Monsters: all monsters come in 3 colors, with increasing difficultly, that
being said, every monster will be listed with all 3 colors, and any
differences that may take place are explained in Descriptions &/or Attack
Name = Its name, most didn’t have names so they got names that i thought
were the most descriptive
Description = what it looks like, explained in my own words
Attack = how it attacks, its assume that every monster hurts you by walking
into you, and vice versa
HP (per color) = Pretty Simple, this is its Hip Point (how many times you
must attack it) before it’s beaten
Dimensions = the basic dimension is 1X2 which is roughly the size of Kid,
also it is equal to a 1X2 section of P blocks, considering nothing in this
game is smaller than that, that is what I will refer to as the base unit
How a determined its dimensions?
In most cases it’s pretty simple, if it can fit into an area 2X3 (that is 2
P blocks lengthwise and 3 blocks height wise) but can’t fit into a 1X3 or
2X2 then that those are the dimensions i go with
Strategies = Most are pretty straight forward but some of the more complex
enemies involve timing and all that junk, in here will also go, what they
all weak against
Jump: All
Projectiles: Maniaxe, Juggernaut, Eyeclops (limited)
Sword: Red Stealth
Ramming: Berzerker
Diamond Power: Everyone but what they do varies
Ex. Kid, Diamond Snake (50)
or Red Stealth, Diamond Circle (20)
