Alex Kidd and the Lost Stars

While the graphics are identical in the repeated rounds, the game play is not. The special Stars and special items found in the first seven rounds may show up in different places-or not at all the second time around.

Also, there will be more enemies that you will need to get by. Therefore, you will need to be more cautious in rounds eight through fourteen and conserve your life meter.

The game has a continue feature that can be used throughout the entire game. Those of you looking for a little more challenge might try limiting yourselves to three continues!

Rounds 1 & 8: Toy world: If you walk on the ground (instead of using the trolley line), you will save time and life. Try to keep the Jump Star as it will help you get through the round!

To Get Past the Giant Teddy Bear: Time your jumps on the spring blocks to avoid the notes.

Rounds 2 & 9: Machine world: Be careful in timing your jumps. One wrong jump, and you die.

To Get Past the Electricity Bars: Study their pattern, then jump when they are turned off.

Rounds 3 & 10: World of Make Believe: Try to stay on top of the pods. It saves life and time.

To Get Past the Jumping Faces: try to have the Jump Star and when they land, jump over them.

Rounds 4 & 11: Water World
Use the Cloud shots sparingly in these rounds, because the special star "S" seldom shows up. Try to stay at the top or bottom of the screen because most of the enemies are in the middle.

 

To Get Past the Jellyfish:
Stay at the top of the screen and try to avoid them.

Rounds 5 & 12: Monster World
Just before the cave, when you are on the floating blocks, let them carry you to the top. Then, jump from them to the top of the cave.

 

To Get Past the Volcano:
Run and jump over it.

Rounds 6 & 13: Giant's Body
Timing is everything in this round!

Rounds 7 & 14: The Shrine of Jiggarat
Avoid the enemies, instead of shooting them. Keep in mind that you can jump longer and higher now.

 

To Get Past Jiggarat:
When you see Jiggarat, immediately run past him. If you try to fight him, you will be most likely be unsuccessful!

from Clint Dyer

Once you have all eight pieces of the map, proceed to the FOURTH FLOOR to the tower on the right. Take the ladder up to a room to find a key. Once you have the key, proceed to the FIFTH FLOOR, across the bridge, to the ATTIC. Take the ladder up to a room with a safe and you will find a Hang Glider. Go to the bridge and jump off.

Alf

All Items
from Clint Dyer

Go to the left (the kitchen). Get the SALAMI first, then jump up and get the CAT. Continue left to the next screen with three doors in it. Enter the first door, and you will be in the children's bedroom. Once in here, press Pause, hold Up + Left and press 1 + 2. Note: In order to get the SPACE SUIT you will need to sell the PEARL.

Helpful Hints
from Clint Dyer

When in the kitchen, jump up and get the CAT. Open the refrigerator (press Button 2) and get the SALAMI. Proceed to the left to the hallway with three doors. Open the middle door and proceed down the stairs. Release the cat and he will kill the rat. Jump and turn the light on and proceed left to the cave.

While going through the cave, beware of rats on the floor and stay on the top as much as possible. Use the Salami to ward off the bats. Hit them when they are at elbow height. At the end of the cave there is a shack containing a GOLD NUGGET worth $50.00.

Work your way out of the cave and go to the street. Beware of the Alien Task Force and the bicycle riders. Notice that only one Alien Task Force member can appear on the screen at a time. Therefore, the best technique for walking the street, is to stay on the sidewalk and allow the Task Force member to follow you closely. Proceed to the general store and buy a KEY for $50.00.

Return to the house with the key and open the closets. One closet contains a killer bug and the other contains a SWIMSUIT. Now go to the living room and go through the door on the right. This door will lead to the lake.

Jump into the lake and proceed down to the bottom. The water is treacherous; try alternating sides while swimming down to avoid the Frogmen floating about. On the way down you will find a TREASURE CHEST with $100.00. At the bottom, you will find a GIANT OYSTER. When the oyster's mouth is open, get the PEARL.

Proceed back up to the surface and return to the store. Sell the PEARL for $200.00 and buy the LADDER (in the General Store) and LANTERN (in the Five & Dime). Return to the cave. Go through the cave, it will be about twice the length as the first time. At the end will be a shack with the FUEL.

Again, work your way out of the cave to the beginning screen. Climb the Trellis to the SCOOTER and press Button 1 to accelerate up into the sky. Proceed up through the various atmospheres, while avoiding the planes, until the spaceport appears. Accelerate the scooter to the top of the screen and release button #1. A shop will appear where the SPACESUIT can be purchased for $100.00.

Continue up through outer space until the moon appears. When the moon appears, avoid the green things and space ships and when his mouth opens, jump in it to receive the REPAIR KIT.

ROUND 1: CALLIOPE - SQUIME BOSS

Using the fireball, aim for the red area below the creatures mouth. As he moves, you should also move. When he is at the top right portion of the screen, shoot diagonally up from the lower corner, while avoiding the fireballs he spits at you.

ROUND 2: CLIO - AARGH BOSS

Shoot at him when the back portion of his body is straight. Using the fireball take out the two gold spiralling objects first. Then, stay at the bottom of the screen and shoot up at the creature.

ROUND 3: ERATO - TACAPY BOSS

Using the fireball, aim for the eyes and the worms that come from them. You can move faster than he can, so use that to your advantage.

ROUND 4: EUTERPE - MASHER BOSS

Using the fireball, aim for his underside where the worms are released. Shoot when his front legs are open. Try moving along the outer perimeter of the screen continuously firing. He spits in sets of three, so watch out!

ROUND 5: MELPOMENE - HAGGAH BOSS

Using the fireball, aim for the spot right below his mouth. Keep firing from the bottom center of the screen. Avoid the fire that comes from his mouth and the three balls that come from the left side of his head.

ROUND 6: THALIA - MINOSAR BOSS

Using the fireball, aim for the green face. The best place to stand is either in the upper or lower right corners. He will shoot three balls at you for a while and then he will spit at you.

ROUND 7: URANIA - MR. MIMI

Using the fireball, shoot at his mouth when it's open. Avoid the spiraling objects coming from his mouth and the balls that come from his ears.

Playing Tips
from Clint Dyer (cdyer@best.com)

Throughout the ships there are green faces on the floors. Shoot the faces until they become white, then they will be safe to walk on. In Round 3, watch out for the holes in the floor and be careful going along the catwalks. Try to remember where the fireball appears before entering the bosses room. If you have the fireball, when going against the bosses, it will help out greatly.

Temporary Invincibility
from Clint Dyer (cdyer@best.com)

Collect the question mark boxes from the ships when the counter reads 272, 267, 232, 222, 171, 161, 131, or 121. When you do this, you will be invincible for a short period of time.

Astro Warrior

Playing Tips
from Clint Dyer

Shoot at everything. You will notice there will be ships coming straight down the center of the screen that you cannot destroy. These are weapon supply ships. If you fly over them, they will increase your firepower or speed. You will also notice sometimes little purple spheres that you also cannot destroy. If you fly over these, they will join your ship in fighting against the powers of evil. These helpers will not die until you do.

When attacking the Mother Ship, you must attack and destroy the outer defenses first. There is a time limit of about 45 seconds to destroy the Mother Ship. If you don't destroy it in that amount of time, the ship will dive at you until you are destroyed.

Red Companions
from Clint Dyer

When the screen says, "Galaxy Zone", "Asteroid Zone", or "Nebula Zone", rapidly alternate pressing Button 1 and Button 2. This will allow you to start with the two red companions. Note that this trick is very difficult, but it does work.

• RYU:
  Jump and land on him while using repeated punches to the face and the body. Do not attempt to high jump.
• HAWK:
  Avoid the stars he throws, and kick repeatedly in the face until he dies.
• GONTA:
  Wait until he attacks, then make a high jump to the right. Then, force him into a corner with kicks to the face. Don't kick him while he is in the air, because he will sit on you if you do.
• CHAPTER IV:
  To defeat the red character with the whip, use repeated jump kicks to the head. Avoid letting him hit you with his whip as you will be unable to get away.
• ONI:
  Back up against the left wall and kick him every time he punches you. It may look as if he will beat you because he gets in the first hit but he won't so keep at it.
• RITA:
  The only way to defeat Rita, is to kick in the air while she is descending at an angle towards you. When you kick her in the air, she will stay suspended above the floor for a few seconds. Then, punch her (you should be able to get in five or six punches before she returns to the ground). You will need to repeat this process several times before you defeat her.
• WANG:
  Right after you kill Rita, the screen will change and you will be attacked by Wang. Get in the left corner and squat down. He will jump in the air and land on top of you. Punch until his power meter goes down as far as it can. Then, stand up and give him one more punch to the face.
• Note: The red flying signs will render you invincible for ten hits. The flying sushi is an energy booster. Use the Super Jump to catch it.

Playing Tips
from Clint Dyer (cdyer@best.com)

You cannot continue until you have passed the first round. That is where the big battleship is. Make sure you pick up all the power you can. The more power you pick up, the fewer shots it will take to destroy an enemy. Don't pick up too much speed. You do not want to pick up more than 5, because your plane will be too hard to control. The best formation to use is number 3, except when you get to round four. In that round you will want to use either the Sideways Shots or the shots that shoot down and diagonally. Cluster Bombs are more effective if you have more than one plane flying with you. The Phoenix is the most powerful weapon you can pick up, not even bullets can penetrate it.

Round One

Shoot as quickly as possible, staying in the center of the ship. If you do not have a powerful gun, use the Cluster Bombs.

Round Two

Once you defeat the first tank, there is a second small tank. Use your Cluster Bombs.

Round Three

Guns on the small ships are not flexible. You can avoid them without killing the whole ship.

Shoot the big bomber in the center.

Round Four

Use the Cluster Bombs at the two main bosses.

Round Five

The main boss is in the Aircraft Carrier, just keep shooting. Make sure you have several power ups.

Cyborg Hunter

Playing Tips
from Clint Dyer (cdyer@best.com)

Any items you pick up, like bombs, psycho power, and life power, will reappear when you enter and leave an elevator. So when you are low on power, go back to area A, go in the first elevator in the middle of the area that leads to levels 2 & 3. On level 2, you'll find psycho power to the right of the elevator. On level 3, life power is to the left. You can continuously enter and exit the elevator (you don't have to change floors), grabbing the power-ups until you're at full strength. You'll have no problem beating the game this way.

In Area C, you can use the Ray Gun, but not on the boss creature.

In Area C, the light gun acts like a Flare Gun (Lights up the area).

Use the Jet Pack to fly across the top of the levels. This way, you can skip the un-important creatures, and save your energy for the boss creatures.

At various places in the corridors, there are overhead lamps that can be touched by Mickey's head. When he jumps up and hits the lamp, it will cause all the monsters and Dracula to "freeze" for about four seconds. Since vampires can only be destroyed in human form, it is best to "freeze" the action when he is in bat form flying through the corridor. Then, maneuver close to him and begin your attack after the flashing ends.

Hidden Knives

To gain knives, jump up and hit the candles on the walls.

Ghouls 'N Ghosts

Chest Tips

Don't open the first chest. Only open the second chest with armor on (you'll get the Golden Armor). The third chest will give you a weapon. Fourth chest - armor (if you need it) or a weapon.

Playing Tips
from Dominick Roman

Here's some useful advice for would-be grave robbers.

• Sword and Fire Brand: You can't throw them, so they're only at close range. They're quite valuable when powered-up though.
• Axe: The Axe is nice, as it'll keep cutting thru one or more villians, but its slow firing rate reserves it for use in less populated levels of the game. The magic power-up limits the axe to a short range - but powerful - explosion.
• Lance: The Lance is great as a long range weapon and is even better when powered up magically.
• Discus: The Discus is by far the best weapon available - it's faster than the lance, and will "hug" the ground if you duck, making it ideal for fighting on unlevel terrian (which is common in this game). Avoid powering up the discus - it'll be changed into a very close range magic wall which destroys enemies. This means you'll have to wait for them to come to you, instead of hitting them from a safe distance.

Slow Motion/Invincibility

Pause the game and hold Button 2. The game will play in slow motion, but you'll be invincible.
