01.)                    INTRODUCTION                                 G0100
===============================================================================

Welcome to 'High School! Kimengumi' for the Sega Master System and MSX2, an
action- adventure released by Sega and Pony Canyon in 1986. The rest of this
guide will talk about the SMS version since I do not know enough about MSX
hardware or software to describe controls etc.

The story is based on a mange which is an episodic chronicle of the bizarre
adventures of a group of misfit junior high school (and later, high school)
boys who form a club known as the "Kimengumi". At its peak it ran as an
anime television series in Japan, with 86 episodes produces running from 1985
to 1987. This game is based on that series.

This game was only released in Japan and has a lot of Japanese text. To play
the original you would need a lot of Japanese knowledge, but luckily an
English translation has been released to help you. I cannot give you any
technical support on getting that running but you can find it online if you
look around a little. The guide is based on the translated terms, thus if you
play with the original you will have to translate it back on the fly.

Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy!

02.)                    BASICS                                       G0200
===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Controls                                     G0210
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the basic controls when on-foot:
Button 1 = Open Menu, Confirm Menu Items
Button 2 = Open doors or desks, enter/exit rooms, use items
D-Pad = Walk
Overall this is very simple to understand.

Menu:
`````
Open the menu with Button 1 and you will get the following choices:
*Take:  Pick up an item around you
*Use:   Uses or equips an item
*Throw: Throws and item away (will return to its original place)
*Talk:  Talk to the person in your vicinity
*Back:  Closes the menu


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Items                                        G0220
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can only carry one of each item at the same time.

Ball
Found on a desk in the lab. Thrown at one of the kimengumi to knock him out.

Bucket
Can be found in many locations. Put it down to block the path for the baddies
which can often help you.

Chalk
Found at the blackboard of most classrooms. When hitting an enemy it will
stun them for a few seconds. It has 10 "ammo" before you have to pick up
another one.

Clock
Used to wake up the guy in the nurse's office. Found in Class B on the
teacher's desk.

Donut;
Eat it for a short time of indivisibility, with the downside being that you
cannot move.

Eraser
Found at the blackboard in some classrooms. When hitting an enemy it will
stun them for a few seconds. It only lasts for one hit.

Harmonica
Found in the music room, will make the lab geeks fall asleep. Also makes the
headmaster fall asleep again!

Letter
Distracts one of the kimengumi.

Kettle
Found in the headmaster's office. It will wake him up so be sure bring a
harmonica to make him sleepy again. The kettle is used to knock out of the
kimengumi.

Milk:
Eat it for a short time of indivisibility, with the downside being that you
cannot move.

Rope
Used to tie up kimengumi. Cannot be used on regular bad dudes though. Found in
a Class A desk. You pretty much NEED this to start the game off, not sure why
it would be so well hidden...

Trumpet
Not used?


Aside from the items above, there are also items you can find in desks that
score points. You will never obtain these into your inventory.

 Banana   (200p)
 Flower   (500p)
 Sock    (1000p)
 Diamon (10000p)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Enemies                                      G0220
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For all four types of enemies there is one rule you need to know: if they touch
you in anyway it is GAME OVER! Never ever let them touch you!


Punks:
High-schoolers who do not like you much. They walk around desks. Can be
stopped in their path with buckets.


Geeks:
Lab guys which are the same as the punks. If you play the harmonica they will
fall asleep.


Frogs:
Found when opening desks. You should know which desk from the list in this
guide but if you open some anyway note that they escape right down off
screen so simply step to the side.


Roaches:
These can be found in desks and will attack you. They will be gone once you
re-enter the room but you might consider not opening desks with them inside
anyway since you know where the good stuff is from the guide...

03.)                    WALKTHROUGH                                  G0300
===============================================================================

You start the game on the map view. Since you will be spending a lot of time
getting around this area you might want to get familiar with it. Here is an
ouline:

The goal of the game is to catch up to five kimengumi (Rei, Go, Kiyoshi, Jin
and Dai). They can be found in specific places but some need an action before
they appear. You must catch at least once before proceeding to the staff room
and finish the game. It is highly suggested to catch all for a higher score as
well as completing the game to 100%.


CLASS A:
````````
Enter and take the ROPE from the middle row, second desk from the left. Leave
the room (I will not mention this again, seems kind of obvious).

CLASS B:
````````
Take the CLOCK.

MUSIC:
``````
Sit down on the piano chair (Button 2). When the guy is at the right-most part
of the screen get up (Button 2 again) and quickly run up to him. Use the rope
to get him out of here. You run faster than him so you should make it. If you
are too slow, simply return to the piano to play again.
While here, also pick up the HARMONICA from the table in the lower right.

CLASS D:
````````
Take the LETTER in plain sight.

CLASS F:
````````
Equip the letter, use it from anywhere and then equip the rope and use it near
the guy. It has be very close to work. When you get it right the scene will
play and you will have caught your first target.

NURSE:
``````
Walk left towards the bed, then use the clock. The guy will wake up so use
the rope nearby him to send him away. If you are too slow he will go back to
bed (in which case you want to try again).

LAB:
````
Pick up the BALL on the desk in the bottom row, middle table.

CLASS H:
````````
Equip the ball, then use it with the action button. Get near the guy and use
the rope to finish him off.

HEADMASTER:
```````````
Grab the KETTLE at the lower right. The table will fall over and the headmaster
will wake up. Quickly use the harmonica to make him fall asleep again. It did
tell you to get that beforehand because otherwise the headmaster will grab you
and it is game over, man!

CLASS C:
````````
Use the kettle and wait. Use the rope when he has fallen to the ground.

STAFF ROOM:
```````````
Once you enter you are given your score. You should have a good score from
just catching them all and even better if you spent more time collecting items
from the desks.


CONGRATULATIONS!
