The first version of the guide. Contains all currently planned information.

II. Introduction ID#010
*******************************************************************************
Hello, hello. I'm BlitzBoy and this is my third FAQ. I've owned a Sega Master
System since I was a six and I've loved playing on it. Here in New Zealand, we
were more of a Sega country than a Nintendo country so SMS and SMD were all the
rage and the NES and SNES were pretty much unheard of. Teddy Boy was one of my
favourite games. It was addictive, somewhat difficult (at the time, at least),
and fun to play. Because of this, I've decided to write a FAQ for the game for
anyone who happens to dig this up from a dusty box or downloads it or
something. I've included handy little ID numbers along the sides of each
section so you can jump to them with ease using the "Find" command (CRTL + F).
Hope you find the guide useful and please feel free to email me with any
feedback or corrections.

IV. Gameplay ID#200
*******************************************************************************
So what do you do?
------
Object
------
The object of the game is to battle your way through various maze levels,
fighting off enemies as you go along. To win a level, you must dispatch all
enemies in that level AND collect the orbs they leave behind. Dispatching an
enemy is simple. Just shoot it. Some enemies may take several hits to take out
or can only be harmed if shot in certain places.
----
Orbs
----
Orbs are harmless minitures of the enemies. When you take out an enemy, he
becomes an orb. Collect this orb to destroy the enemy for good. If an orb is
not collected and you die, he will respawn again when you respawn. Any enemy
whos orb has been collected will not respawn, even if you should die. Beware,
however, as if you fail to collect an orb quick enough, it will turn into a
Time Eater and eat some of your timer. Orbs that become Time Eaters will not
respawn if you die.
-----
Timer
-----
Yep, you have a limited amount of time to complete each level. If you fail to
complete the level in this time period, you will die and lose a life. Any orbs
you fail to collect quickly enough will become Time Eaters and will shorten the
amount of time you have to complete the level.
----
Dice
----
Maximum of six, minimum on 1. These things are whatyour enemies spawn from. The
Number of the die corresponds to how many enemies are "inside" the die ready to
be spawned. Most enemies are spawned one at a time. They will exit the die one
at a time, alternating what side they come out of. Other enemies, however,
spawn all at once in a group. These enemies are "group enemies" and will stick
together unless you seperate them using force (ie: shooting them).
-------------
Other Tidbits
-------------
Only a eight enemies and orbs can be active on a level at a time. The rest
remain in their dice until you collect dispatched enemies' orbs (or until they
become Time Eaters). This is good because it means you can't be excessively
flooded by enemies. Also, if it's a group's turn to spawn, it will not spawn
until you collect enough orbs to allow them to spawn without going over the
eight enemy limit. You can use this to your advantage if you plan accordingly.
The floor you stand quite weak. Stand on one spot long enough and it will give
way. Be sure to move if you spot the floor "fizzing" to avoid falling on an
enemy. Enemies can't weaken floors.
On most levels there are destroyable blocks. There take three hits to destroy.
Sometimes it is best to leave certain blocks in place to block off possible
enemy ambush or escape points. Blocks can also weaken a fizzle away if you
stand on them too long.
Each level is designed as a maze of sorts. You may note that each level appears
to be endless in size. Until you notice that everything looks the same down
there as it does up there. Each level is in fact a giant loop. So if you go far
enough to the right, you'll end up back where you started. The same if you go
up, down or any direction.
------
Losing
------
You start the game with three lives. If you come in contact with an enemy, you
will die and lose a life. If you run out of time, you will die and lose a life.
When you die, any orbs still lying around in the level uncollected will respawn
as their respective monsters when you restart the level. Only enemies whos orbs
have been collected will remain eliminated. When you lose all of your lives,
the game is over and you will be returned to the title screen. Try and beat
your high score!

*******************************************************************************
V. Enemies ID#300
*******************************************************************************
Throughout his adventures, Teddy Boy well encounter various enemies. While some
are fairly basic and easy to dispatch, some are more erratic and can be harder
to take out and/or avoid. The following is a list and description of each
enemy in the game. Be aware that these aren't official names or anything but
the names I've given them.
-------
Soldier
-------
Little blue man. The most basic of enemies. All he does it walks along the
path. Fairly simple to avoid, even simpler to kill. One shoot and he's an orb.
The only thing to be wary of is that the Soldier tends to do a little jump when
he reaches a dead end or the end of a platform.
--------
Red Head
--------
What appears to be a red fire-ballish looking head. These usually appear in
groups. They hop in one direction and change then they hit an object.
Shooting one in the group can also cause them to change direction. Their only
trick is that they sometimes hop extra high for no apparent reason.
----------
Metal Slug
----------
Snail/slug looking thing with a metal shell. This guys have two "modes". One
is it's ground mode - it take the form of a snail and moves along it for
short distances. It's second mode is it's airborne mode. It takes the form
of a slug and move across the air in either direction. Be careful when engaging
a group of them as you could get surrounded. It can only be eliminated if hit
in it's soft head. It's shell is impervious to any attack and will cause the
Metal Slug to retreat inside it's shell when hit.
---------
Crocodile
---------
Looks like the head of a crocodile. These things are EVIL. They fly around
randomly. Because of it's unpredictable movements and small size, these things
can get you quite easily. You definitely don't want to be in an open space
when engaging a group of these. Finding a nice little sheltered place on the
level to fire from is recommended.
-----
Slime
-----
Looks like jelly with an eye. These guys can stick to any surface. They will
continue in a straight line go along floors, ceilings and walls. However, one
nasty trick they have is that when equal with you vertically, if on the ceiling
they will drop down to the floor. In other words, if a Slime is directly above
you or directly below you, it will let go of ceiling it is currently walking on
and fall to the ground, despite what may be between it and you. So be careful
as you wouldn't one of these guys to drop in you while you're blasting
something else away.
----
Flea
----
Looks some weird one-eyed hopping insect. I've never been good at describing
things. Anyway, these guys usually appear in groups. They are quite similar to
the Red Heads. They hop in one direction, only changing direction if they reach
a dead end (or sometimes when they are shot). Simply hitting an obstruction
will not cause them to change direct. They hop higher than Red Heads but move
at a slower speed. Make sure they don't land on you.
-----------
Pin Cushion
-----------
Looks like... well a cushion or perhaps a loaf of bread. These guys jump along
as they please, changing direction when it suits them. They take multiple
consecutive hits to take out. As you shoot them, will turn redder and redder
until the pop and become an orb. If you cease fire on them, they will return to
normal colour and continue along their way. Beware of two or more Pin Cushions
ganging up on you. As one takes the first few hits, the second likes to jump in
front and take the next few while the first recovers. Then the first jumps out
in front again and this continues as they slowly inch towards you.

Bonus Rounds

Every couple of rounds a bonus round will come up. In these rounds, the object
is to destory as many dice as possible to obtain as many points as possible.
The bonus round ends when you round out of time or you make contact with a
Metal Slug. Inside the dice are bonus point items, Time Eaters and Metal Slugs.

VII. Secret Menu ID#500
*******************************************************************************
This is accessible from the title screen. To access it use the follow code:
Up, Down, Left, Right
This will take you to a secret menu with a few options.
Help, I can't see it! The colour of the font takes the same colour the title
was when you activated the cheat. You may have noticed that the Teddy Boy title
flashes several colours and even flashes off at one point. If you happen to
activate the cheat when it flashes off, the font for the secret menu will be
invisible. Try resetting the console and trying again.
The secret menu options:
--------
Continue
--------
Only accessible after losing the game. Selecting YES lets you continue from the
stage you were last at.
----
Fire
----
YES or NO with YES being the default option. I haven't a clue what this does.
Anyone care to fill me in?
--
1P
--
YES or NO with YES being the default option. Simple sets the game as either a
1-player or a 2-player game. Completely useless, really.
-----
Round
-----
This option is hidden. To access it, when you enter the secret menu (without
pressing any other keys) input this:
Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Button 1
Another option will appear at the bottom on the list. This allows you to pick
any stage to start at.

X. Outro ID#800
*******************************************************************************
And so the FAQ comes to an end. I'll say it again, feel free to email me with
feedback and corrections. A FAQ can probably never be "completely" finished as
long as people notice something wrong with it. Help me achieve completeness!
My email is located at the top of the page. Thank you for reading and
(supposedly) using my guide.
