INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to my complete FAQ/Walkthrough for Ecco Jr. on the Sega Genesis! Let me
give you a small tad of info on it first. Ecco Jr. is a children's version of
Ecco games, which feature a few dolphins out doing some crazy things. In Ecco
Jr., everything is based someone on education, since it is a kid's game. Also,
for the most part, the game is pretty easy, but just in case you get a little
lost (it often happens on the first time through), you can use this guide to
help you out.
This guide WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS, so be warned that if you don't want parts of
the game spoiled for you, don't read on. But, if you are just looking for some
help, please do read on! Please enjoy!

(Story of the game, from the Instruction Booklet)
"Somewhere there is a giant whale named Big Blue. He lives in a place called
the Endless Sea. He is the true king of the ocean. He is friendly and wise, and
most of all, BIG. He is the biggest animal the world has ever known!
Ecco the Dolphin heard that to find Big Blue, you have to open the Crystal
Doors. These are strange jewels, called Glyphs, that are the doors to the
oceans beyond home.
Ecco and his two ocean friends Tara, the young orca, and Kitnee, the baby
bottlenose dolphin, are very playful. They are also curious. They are ready to
search for the wise, friendly giant, Big Blue.
They found out that the Crystal Doors will open if they perform a task for each
Crystal. Some Crystal Doors want them to find lost friends or misplaced toys.
Others want them to play tag. Still other Crystal Doors want to hear music.
When the Crystal Doors get their wish from Ecco and his friends, they open up
to another part of the ocean, a little closer to the Endless Sea and Big Blue.
Each ocean is a wonderful playground. Rays skim through the water. Seahorses
wait to see you. The stonefish look just like rocks, and the jellyfish don't
really look like jelly. Search for seals, squids, and crawly crabs. You might
even swim into an octopus or a friendly shark!
There are many Crystal Doors to open before you can meet the biggest whale in
the world. But the real fun is getting there!"

D-PAD : Swim
START : Start each new game; Go back to the Friends screen; Play Again.
BUTTON A OR B (same function) : Sing, this is sending a sound wave through the
water. This is also called "sonar".
BUTTON C : Hold or tap to swim faster; Jump out of the water using up on the
D-Pad.

Choose the friend that you want to use to play the game! You can switch this at
any time, and you should try out the different friends to see which you like
the best! Ecco (the default dolphin) is always curious, and Tara (the black and
white dolphin) is strong. Don't forget the curious Kitnee (the dark gray
dolphin)!
To choose your friend, simply swim Ecco, who originally has the select bubbles
around him, to the friend of your choice. When you thouch another friend, the
bubbles will move to that friend, and you will select that friend.
Once you have chosen your starting friend (remember, you can change any time
using the start button), either press START or swim to the right to go to Home
Sea and begin your game!

First of all, always check the little picture symbols at the top of the screen,
as they will give you clues as what you are supposed to be doing. If it's a
picture of a friend, swim around until you find that friend, then sing to them,
and the picture will move to the other side, meaning you completed that task.
If the picture at the top has a little bar next to a symbol, that means that
you have to find a certain amount of whatever the symbol is showing. When you
start to find them, the bar will fill with bubbles. Once the bar is entirely
filled, you have completed the task.
Those are the basic tasks, but there are other ones too. For example, sometimes
you have to help a baby find its way back to its mama, and other times you have
to play tag with your friends. Other times you have to collect music rings to
play a song. Whatever the task is, the picture symbols at the top of the screen
will always tell you what to do.
Once your task is done, you will see a little symbol of a big crystal. That
means you have to find the Crystal Door. Once you find the Crystal Door in the
level, you just have to sing to it and then you will move on closer to the
Endless Sea!

There's several special tricks that you can perform during the game that will
help you complete the different tasks. This section will introduce all the
possible tricks and explain them.
SINGING
Sing to find things with Ecco's (and friend's) songs! When you sing, listen
closely and watch the waves to see if they bounce back to you. If the the song
bounces back, then you should swim that way! A higher-pitched song means that
you are closer! Also, the different dolphin friends all have different songs,
so listen closely to the beautiful music!
CARRYING
Ecco, Kitnee, and Tara can also carry things, like music rings and pirate
treasure. To pick up music rings, simply swim through them. To pick up other
things like treasure, sing to them. Once you have something, you can swim and
carry it along with you. Keep in mind that you can only carry one ring at a
time!
PUSHING
Sometimes, you will need to push things out of the way to get to new areas, or
to move something where it needs to go. To do this, simply push it with your
nose by swimming into it, or sing to it.
GRABBING
You can grab the baby seahorse and the baby turtle to help them find their
mothers! Touch them gently with your nose, and then press the A button or B
button, now you can carry the baby with you. Don't swim too fast though, or you
may accidently drop the baby.
BREAKING THROUGH SHELL FENCES
In several different areas in the game, you will see a line of shells blocking
a path. To get through them, just watch carefully. They will take turns
blinking. Touch the shell that's blinking to gently push it out of the way.
When all the shells are gone, you can swim through!

Remember, Ecco Jr. is a game for parents to play along with their children. To
access the Parent's Options Menu, hold A, B, and C together at the title
screen.
To adjust the options on the Parent's Options Menu, use the D-Pad Up and Down
to scroll through the options. Then, use the D-Pad Left and Right to change the
selected option. When you are ready, press Start to begin the game.
At the Parent's Options Menu, you will find several things:
1. The Facts About Dolphins button. This option will take you to the Sea of
Knowledge. In this mini-game, you learn facts about dolphins that you may
not have known before.
2. The Mode selection. In Normal mode, you are presented a task at each ocean
and you must complete them to get to the next. This is the more challenging
mode. In Exploratory mode, you don't get any tasks, you just swim around
each ocean and look around. This mode is good for just exploring and talking
about the different sea animals.
3. The Music selection. This simply turns the music ON or OFF.
4. The Autosonar selection. ON is better for very young or handicapped children
because it makes Ecco and friends automatically sing while exploring. If it
is OFF, the child has to manually make Ecco or friends sing by pressing the
A or B button while exploring.
5. Difficulty selection. There's EASY, NORMAL, and HARD to choose from. The
only difference is that more tasks are added for each different difficulty.
It maps out like this:
EASY - 11 oceans (tasks)
NORMAL - 17 oceans (tasks)
HARD - 27 oceans (tasks)
6. Go to level selection. Just use the D-Pad right and left to choose the level
that you want to start on.
7. Start Game button. This will bring you to the Friends screen so you can
begin your game.

This section will teach you how to use the passwords in the game. To see the
level passwords, read on in the guide, they will be listed later.
So, each level in the game has a three-letter password that you can enter at
the passwords screen to jump to that level. Each letter used in every password
has a corresponding sea creature, that will make the password experience more
enjoyable for the child.
Key:
O = Ocean
R = Ray
L = Lobster
C = Crab
S = Snail
F = Fish
J = Jellyfish
H = Seahorse
To access the password screen, when starting a new game, swim off to the left
of the screen rather than the right. Once there, use the D-Pad left and right
to select the letter/symbol with the orange selector box. Press either the A,
B, or the C button to select that symbol to the bottom, and then your orange
selector box will move to the next letter/symbol. Once you have entered the
three letters/symbols, hit Start. If entered correctly, you will start at that
level. If entered incorrectly, the entry will erase when you press Start.
Again, all level passwords will be listed at the corresponding level in the
walkthrough of this guide.

NORMAL PLAY MODE
In NORMAL mode, each level will ask your child to complete an entertaining
task, like tag, finding friends, etc., and then find the Crystal Door to exit
each level. Along the way, an ocean-ful of beautiful life-like sea animals
await your exploration.
1. To being, swim off to the right of the Friends screen or hit Start.
2. The first level's title and description will appear. Read it, then hit
Start.
3. Play through the level using your sonar (A or B button) as a guide to
complete your task.
4. Find the Crystal Door, and use the sonar to break through to the next ocean.
5. Each level ends with a scoring screen to count how many levels you've
completed. Read the screen, then hit enter to begin the next level.
-----
TASK DESCRIPTIONS
At the beginning of ever level is a task description telling you and your child
what you will need to complete in that level. Read this to your child, or if
he/she is old enough, have him/her read it out loud, and make sure that the
child understands what you'll be doing as you play through the level together.
-----
OBJECT BOXES
Object boxes are the names of the little picture symbols at the top of your
screen during the game. It will constantly remind you what you need to search
for. Once you have completed that task, the object box will move across the
screen confirming that you completed it.
A counter bar will appear at the top of the screen when your child needs to
collect multiples of the same object. Watch as the car fills up with bubbles as
you collect the objects. Keep searching for more until your entire bar is
filled with bubbles.
-----
ECHOLOCATION: SIGHT IS SOUND
Dolphins can see with their eyes like humans do, but they also can use sonar to
find things underwater. To see best deep under the water, they use this sonar,
which involves sending a sound wave which bounces off objects and ricochets
back. The return sound tells the dolphin the size, location, and distance of
whatever objects are in front of them, which essentially allows them to see by
listening.
This amazing process is covered in Ecco Jr. for you and your child to explore.
It will become essential for finding some of the hidden objects in the ocean
levels of the game. To use sonar, just hit the A or B button and if you are
aiming towards the correct object, the sound will bounce back to you. The
object box will also flash when a sound bounces back.
The return bounce will tell you that the object is in the direction that you
were facing, so start swimming that way. Often you will have to take a detour
to get to the object however, as many rocks and other sea structures may get in
your way. As you get closer, the sound of the return sonar will get higher
pitched.
Once you are close enough to actually see the object. Sing your sonar directly
into it. As the sound wave hits the object, it is counted as "found" for the
task.
-----
TRANSPORTING OBJECTS
1. Found objects such as music rings or treasure will follow Ecco, Tara, or
Kitnee automatically. Once you find them, they will simply cloat in a circle
around your dolphin while you and your child carry the objects either to the
music rings or the treasure chest.
2. In some other games, small fish or shells will join in the circle around
your dolphin, until all the objects are found and the task is completed.
3. In some other games, Ecco and friends can nudge small fish or shells by
singing at them in the direction you want them to move or by pushing them
with your nose.
4. You can grab baby animals to return them with their mothers also. Touch the
baby with your dolphin's nose and press the A or B button to grab the baby.
Pressing A or B again will release the baby.
-----
FINDING THE CRYSTAL DOOR
When a task is completed, you will see the object box change to display a
Crystal Door. This means you have completed your task and you must now go find
the Crystal Door to exit the level. The Crystal Door will always be located at
the far right of the level, and once you find it, you must sing directly at it.
Then it will break and you will exit the level to the scoring screen. Once you
are satisfied, hit Start to move on to the new level from there.
-----
EXPLORING ECCO'S WORLD
An additional way that you and your child can share in the dolphin adventure is
simply by exploring the oceans. Often, you can interact with the sea animals
that aren't even part of the level, just for fun. For example, you will often
find small sea spiders in the levels. You can make them bounce to get to a new
area.
Remember that to activate this mode of exploring only, simply select that mode
on the Parent's Options screen.
-----
THE SEA OF KNOWLEDGE
The Sea of Knowledge is an extra game that is found in the Parent's Options
Menu. It is full of dolphin facts that you can explore with your child.
1. On the Parent's Options screen, select Facts About Dolphins at the top.
2. Once in the Sea of Knowledge, use the D-Pad to pick different crystals. The
crystal that you are currently selecting will turn blue.
3. Press the A, B, or C buttons to read the crystal's question, and then again
to read the answer.
4. Once you are finished, hit Start to exit that area.
Remember to discuss all the facts with your child to get the full learning
effect from this game!
-----
GAME TYPES
Scavenger Hunt: Many of the games in Ecco Jr. involve a search for objects and/
or sea life. Most objects are easily found after a short search
using the sonar.
Hide and Seek: Some of the objects and sea life blend in with their
surroundings (like Stonefish). You will have to look more
carefully to find all of these objects.
Tag: Chase down one of your friends and tag it with a circle of fish, shells,
or crystals. Then quick rush for the Crystal Door before you get tagged
back!
Collecting and Matching: Find some ocean trasures and bring them together.
Sometimes you have to find musical rings and match
them to blue ring patterns in the ocean. They make
beautiful music when you swim through these rings.
Roundup: Gather a group of shells or fish into a cave or other area.
Follow the Leader: Find another dolphin, and follow him to the Crystal Door.
Rescue: Here you have to find a lost baby and reunite him with its mother or a
lost item to its owner on a different part of the level.
Keep Away: Try to get your treasure all the way to the Crystal Door without
letting your friends playfully grab them!

GENERAL TIPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Remember, if you ever get lost, look at the object box at the top, and then
use your sonar in all directions to see where to go
-Always keep your eyes open to see what's around you
-Try different things, like jumping out of the water and over rocks to get to
new areas
-Try different dolphin friends too, don't use the same one until the end
-Remember, the game should be fun, and educational, so talk about the sea life
with your child while you play
-Always be persistent, sometimes things are hidden pretty well in levels, just
keep looking and your sonar will lead the way
-Always remember which direction you came from, as you often need to back track

FAQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do I get to the options menu?
At the title screen, hold A, B, and C and the Parent's Options will pop up.
How do I enter the passwords you gave me?
At the beginning of the game, swim left on the Friends screen instead of right,
and you will be brought to the passwords screen. See the Game Basics section of
the guide for more info.
Do the different dolphins do different things?
Well, not really. For the most part they are the same. However, they do swim a
little differently and make a different sonar song, so it's good to change
every now and then.
How do I find...?
Your sonar can find you anything.
What if treasure gets taken from me in a Keep Away game? Do I lose?
No, it doesn't really matter, you will still beat the level like normal, but
it's more fun to play the Keep Away game too.
What's the point of exploratory mode?
Well, it's good for just relaxing if you have a relax or calm time with your
child, and it's also good if you just want to talk about the sea life.

-CJayC and everyone at GameFAQs for being the best that they can be. Sounds
like a cereal commercial. >_<
-You, whoever you may be, for being unique. Good job.
