Welcome to another FAQ of mine. This one covers the GameBoy game Taz-Mania,
which just so happens to focus on the Tazmanian Devil; you know, one of the
Looney Toons characters?
Yeah, I don't know much to say about this. But try to enjoy.

Taz-Mania in Christmas Island Capers **MANIA_51**
*******************************************************************************
=============================================
Taz-Mania in Christmas Island Capers - Part 1
=============================================
Begin by jumping right onto a platform, then jump right onto the next, then
onto the stable ledge. (I say "stable", because the aforementioned platforms
will fall and do so quickly.) Spin to the right across the bridge.
Then jump onto the ledge nearby. Grab the "50" for some bonus points as hop
onto the ledge below. Ride to the next ledge to the right. There, jump right
to another staircase-like ledge. Be sure to get the jewel at the bottom, then
go back to the top and spin right across the bridges.
Stop spinning at the jewel in mid-air near the raised ledge. To the right of
there is a water spout you can stand on, but it is only there for a short time.
It will appear once every 1.0 ~ 1.5 seconds; jump for it when as it goes away,
then ride it to the next ledge.
Get the jewel there, then start get on the ledge above. Run underneath the
birds, then jump to the moving ledge. Ride it to the other side and collect
the health boost there. Go right some more past some enemies. At the gap, jump
to the right and use the unstable platform (like the one at the start) to get
to the other side.
Run beneath the bird here and note your aquatic inertia (in other words, jump
at the edge of the ledge). Ride the water spout as before. At the end of this
path is a downbound staircase. Ride the moving platform nearby, grabbing the
clock on the way, to the other side.
Jump right over the gaps, avoiding the enemies, to the ledge with the bridge.
There, go right and collect the health pick-up and go to the ledge on the right
side, below the end of the bridge. Ride the nearby moving platform to another
ledge with a bridge. Repeat this twice.
At the end, go over the high ledge and cross the gaps to the right. At the end
is a staircase-like platform with a "50" past it. Drop down from the "50" onto
an unstable platform. Quickly jump to the right onto the ledge.
Continue right to the end of first part of the level.
=============================================
Taz-Mania in Christmas Island Capers - Part 2
=============================================
For the second part, just hold Right on the D-Pad and rapidly mash the A
Button.
=============================================
Taz-Mania in Christmas Island Capers - Part 3
=============================================
Go right onto the ledge with the diamond and grab it. Jump right onto the
next ledge and dodge the bird, then get onto the higher ledge. Jump over the
right side to the moving platform when it comes. Ride it to the next ledge,
grabbing the 50-point pickup on the way.
On the next ledge, go to the other side of the bridge, grabbing the diamond on
the way. Walk over the edge of the ledge and, on the platform below, jump
across the gap. Quickly grab the 50-point pickup and continue right to the next
moving ledge.
Ride it to the next ledge, then jump right to the next one. At the edge of it,
hold Down on the D-Pad and wait for the moving platform to come near, then jump
off onto it. Ride it to another bridge. Cross it and grab the health pickup.
Continue right, dodging enemies, and jump over the gap for the diamond.
Go to the other side of this bridge to find another water spout. Ride it and a
bird will carry you for a bit. Once it drops you, grab the time pickup to the
left. Go right over a gap and past a bridge to another water spout. Use it like
before to be carried by a bird. You'll pick up a diamond and be dropped on a
platform.
Go right and cross another bridge. At the far side, you'll be able to see the
water spout. Jump a bit earlier than usual, grabbing the health pickup on the
way, and ride it. Once you land safely, repeat to the right. This time, you'll
end up landing on an unstable platform, so quickly jump right onto the stable
ledge.
Jump right over some gaps, getting 50 points and a diamond on the way, to
another moving platform. Ride it to the other side, then proceed onto the
ledge. Go right and along a small series of unstable platforms to the other
side.
Jump right, over the gap, and proceed further right to the end of the level.
=============================================
Taz-Mania in Christmas Island Capers - Part 4
=============================================
Here, you'll go along a road. I can't say all too much except don't hit trees
or roadblocks. The roadblocks have specific alignments:

Bounce on the boss's head five times to win.

Taz-Mania in Easter Island Antics - Part 1
==========================================
First, go right and over the gap. On the other side, go right and to the top
of the incline. Jump left onto a cloud (yeah, I was surprised, too) and grab
the health pickup. Go right along the cloud tops for a while until you reach an
area with a black bird circling around.
Drop off of the edge of the cloud there. On this pier, ride nearby moving
platform to another pier. Go right to the island and jump to the top of the
high ledges to the right. At the top, wait for the moving platform and ride it
to the other side. There, go right and atop the clouds.
Proceed to the right for a while, taking the clock pickup on the way. Once you
reach the cloud that has a vertically-moving bird to the right, drop off of the
cloud. Go right to the top of another incline. Go left and onto the cloud tops
again.
Once you see some trees below, drop off to hit land. Go over the gap to the
right, then get on the cloud to the right. Jump to the far right to find some
more land. Go to the right, onto the stairs, then onto the clouds. Continue
right to some more land. LAND H -- *shot*
Continue right to the top of the incline, then jump across the gap to the right
to find the exit.
==========================================
Taz-Mania in Easter Island Antics - Part 2
==========================================
What the...? This again?
Just like before, just hold Right on the D-Pad and rapidly mash the A Button.
==========================================

==========================================
Simply jump on the fox's head ten times to win. You can do so twice with each
loop he makes between his spot and the other side of the screen. Beware the
rocks that fall each time he returns to his rock.

Taz-Mania in Fantasy Island Frolics - Part 1
============================================
Okay, it's FAR too hard to do anything walkthrough-like about this. You're on a
moving roller coaster and can't do anything about it except jump.
All you need to do is jump over gaps and use the spring platforms to get
higher when needed.
============================================
Taz-Mania in Fantasy Island Frolics - Part 2
============================================
Here's a bonus round kind of deal.
In short, jump or don't to grab things. Only grab the 1-Ups, diamonds, and
hearts. NOTHING ELSE, or you'll effectively lose points.

Very simple. Jump on the boss's nose ten times. Wherever the ball that bounces
on it goes, you need to go there, too, to avoid damage.

Taz-Mania in Dark Island Drip **MANIA_54**
*******************************************************************************
Password: 367123
======================================
Taz-Mania in Dark Island Drip - Part 1
======================================
Jump right onto the next platform and pick the diamond there. Go into the gap
between the two platforms. Simply go along the path now to the edge of the
ledge. There, bounce on the ghost and fall through. Then go along the path to
the left.
Eventually, you'll start riding on a trolley. DO NOT FALL OFF -- you will be
electrocuted and killed. Count the lanterns you pass as you go down; once you
pass the fifth one, jump to the right onto the platform. Go along the path here
to the raised platform.
Jump onto the platform on the left, then spin and jump (the only way I could do
it) onto the platform to the right. Go along this path to an elevator; use it
and go left. Grab the time pickup, then jump left onto the trolley. Ride and,
when you see a reachable platform to the right, get on it.
Go along the path, jumping up the ledges and over the spike pit. Fall down the
gap on the other side and head over to the time pickup. Get off of the ledge
and go right to the next trolley.
Ride it and use the following series of elevators. Jump left across the gap to
the next trolley; ignore the time pickup, for it isn't worth the risk. Ride it
to an elevator and use it to cross the platforms to the right. Once you reach
the diamond, get on the far left side of the ledge, so that you're teetering on
the edge. Jump left onto the trolley.
This one will be tough. As you fall, you'll need to jump to the elevator. Once
you reach it, ride it to the top and jump onto the platform above for the time
pickup. Then ride the trolley nearby. As you go up, quickly jump left onto those
platforms.
And that's the exit.
======================================
Taz-Mania in Dark Island Drip - Part 2
======================================
Jump right onto the trolley and ride it to the other side. There, jump to the
platform and ride the elevator. Ride the trolley to the left for a diamond,
then return and take the other one. When you reach the next trolley, ride it
and jump over to the solid platform.
Cross to the right, across the gaps and spike pit, to the next trolley chain.
Jump from the third one to the solid platform, then cross the gaps to the right
and go onto the next trolley. Jump to the elevator at the end and ride it down
to another trolley chain.
Jump off of the second one to reach the third; jump from the third to the solid
platform and onto another one. Ride it to some solid platforms. Go left for the
time pickup, then fall onto the ledge below the two from before. Go right onto
the trolley.
Quickly return to the main platform and get on the trolley from the other side
so you can get the 1-Up. Ride the previous trolley back to the small platform
and fall off its right side to find another trolley. Jump onto the solid
platform at the end, then onto the next trolley.
Ride this one similarly to an elevator. Use it to go to another trolley; ride
it and continue leftward to the exit.
======================================

Taz-Mania in Dark Island Drip - Part 4
======================================
Dodge the boss's attacks for a while -- standing at the left edge of the
screen and jumping when needed worked pretty well. Eventually, he will start to
fly around. Bounce on his head when he gets low enough. Ten hits will do it.

========================================
Taz-Mania in Dodo Island Devils - Part 1
========================================
Go right for a while, jumping over gaps, until you have some enemies flying
above you. Go down and to the right and go along this very linear path for a
fair while.
Eventually, you'll reach a spike pit followed by a staircase-like platform. Go
to the right and grab the time pickup, then get on the small platforms above
the staircase. When at the one next to the spikes, WALK off onto the platform.
For a while, the path is very linear. There will be a split at the second black
water pit you find. Go right for a health pickup, then continue along the left
linear path for -- guess what -- a while. The end will come up.
========================================
Taz-Mania in Dodo Island Devils - Part 2
========================================
A very simplistic level. You'll have to just ride the platforms. They will move
when stepped on in a weird fashion. Regardless, use it to get to the next
platform, and the next, and so on, until you reach the exit.
========================================
Taz-Mania in Dodo Island Devils - Part 3
========================================
Spin to the right and jump off of the enemy while still going right to reach
the other side of the gap. Climb up the ladder, then go over the green pit to
the right. Climb up the ladder there, then cross over to the right via the
unstable platforms.
Climb up the ladder there, then jump onto the ledge to the left. Jump up the
ones to the right and collect the time pickup, then go up the ladder to the
left. Go onto the platform to the right at the top and use a spin to reach the
time pickup.
Go left of the ladder to find another. Climb up it and go right and up the
ladder to find another. Continue up this obvious chain of ladders for a while.
Eventually, you'll climb up one and find a 50-point pickup to the right. Get it
and spin and jump to the right. Climb up the ladder to find a time pickup, then
go left and continue the chain.
Not much further ahead, you'll have to choose between two ladders. Take the one
on the left.
Not much further ahead is the exit.

You, my friend, have just reached the final boss.
And it is still ridiculously simple. Just stick around the left edge of the
area. Whenever the helicopter is nearby, trigger the lever to launch the stone.
Stones must hit the boss ten times for you to win. Remember, if you are about
to be hit, a spin attack will keep you invincible.
Good luck. Congratulations when you win!
