HISTORY/ UPDATES o /=============================================================================\ Monday, March 5th, 2001 (Version 1.0): ----------------------------------------- First version released Friday, October 19th, 2001 (Version 2.0): ----------------------------------------- Finally I have finished the enemy list, on the next version I'll start with the walkthrough Thursday, April 14th, 2005 12:53:03pm (Version 2.1): ----------------------------------------- After almost 4 years of I think I should finish writing this guide, I just like to finish everything I start. Just did some minor improvements in the FAQ and finished the walkthrough on zone 1-1 Friday, April 15th, 2005 7:53:36pm (Version 3.0): ----------------------------------------- I decided to take out the walkthrough; I don't think it's really that necessary I just created a new section called ¨Tips & tricks for beating the game¨ if you still can't beat the game let me know. Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 3:19pm (Version 3.2): ----------------------------------------- I was reading this file after more than five years of its creation and I found just too many tipping errors that I somehow didn’t noticed before, so I decided to fix them. Also fixed my email address at the bottom. \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 3. INTRODUCTION o /=============================================================================\ Well, it all began when I was 5 and my dad brought home a big gray box with a happy (but stupid looking) family playing some video game on the cover. I knew since that day that my life was going to be different, and it did. Every day I waking up at 4:30am (Even school days) and going to bed at 11:15pm, just playing nintendo most of the day. In those days I just have 9 NES games (Super Mario Bros.1, 2 & 3, Amagon, Castle Quest, Blaster Master, Fester's Quest, Sky Shark and Air Fortress). Amagon is one of my favorite NES games, and probably other people's too, but I've been looking on the net for a guide and no one seems to care about it. So I decided to make my own. I've found this game pretty easy, but some people can't even pass zone 2-2! If you have this problem, just read this faq and you beat it, specially after you read the tips and tricks section. \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 4. BASICS o /=============================================================================\ The object of this game is to get the brave Amagon to the other side of the island where a boat is waiting for him to leave the island. To do this you'll have to face many dangers and enemies hiding in each corner of the island. The game controls are easy to handle, to pause the game use the START button, to jump use the A button, and to fire your gun use the B button. You start with 300 bullets, when you're out of bullets you'll be using your gun as a baseball bat, kicking monsters ass in a difficult way. Some monsters take more than just one shoot to kill, some of them take 4 shots others take 7 and others take more than 20! Every once on a while you'll get a little symbol that will put the word "GO!!" on right the right of your bullets (That's a mega-key), this tells you that you can transform into Megagon (Some sort of Hulk thing) but of course it's limited. When you press the SELECT Button you can transform into Megagon and your bullet indicator will change into a Mega-points indicator, you can have a maximum of 14 Mega-points. The amount of Mega-points you get is calculated by your points each Mega-point equals to 5000 points that means that if you want to get full power you'll need 70000 points. While you are transformed into Megagon all your abilities increase greatly, making you jump higher, kill enemies with just one punch and it lets you do a special laser beam thing. This Laser beam attack is very useful and if you want to finish the game easily you'll have to do it a lot. To do it just press the UP and the B button at the same time. Every time you do it you lose a power bar. with this attack enemies will be killed instantly, and some times they'll give you special items. As I've been saying since the first line of this guide, the game is pretty easy, you just have to know where to transform into Megagon, and that's exactly what I’m going to tell you. \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 5. ITEMS & POWER UPS o /=============================================================================\ 500 points symbol: Gives the player 500 extra points. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1000 points symbol: Gives the player 1000 extra points. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3000 points symbol: Gives the player 3000 extra points. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5000 points symbol: Gives the player 5000 extra points (Duh!!). ------------------------------------------------------------------ Black crown: Gives the player 10000 extra points. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bullet Magazine: Gives the players 20 extra bullets ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mega-Key: Let's you transform into Megagon by just pressing the SELECT button once. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Extra life (A weird Smiley Face): Gives the player one extra life. ------------------------------------------------------------------ \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 6. ENEMY LIST o /=============================================================================\ The enemies are listed in the order that they appear in the game and I have included the number of shots you need to kill them. Note: The ones listed with ¨**¨ are bosses ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bird: This little fell just flies around and when you pass by it just flies way, some other ones come fast from right to left and are some times dangerous. You should always kill them, just for safety. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tree Rabbit: This little friend is always on a tree or something similar just waiting you to pass by so he can jump at you, the easiest way to kill it is to shoot it while it's still on the tree. Of course you can't always do this. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mushroom: One of the stupidest enemies on the game, it just jumps, one low jump a middle one and then a high one. You don't have to kill these if you don't want to because you can always pass safely when they jump, and besides, they will rarely give you anything. If you got killed by one of these it's because you wanted to. shots: 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Snake: It just walks towards you and when it's close enough it throws three fireballs then goes away. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Wasp (Giant fly): It always comes from right to left and when it's on the middle of the screen it stops and fires three slow moving stings and then goes away. These will never stop coming if you don't walk. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Lion-Man**: If you're not transformed this can be one of the toughest enemies in the game. For Megagon this one is but a cookie shots: 32 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Giant lion head**: Of course, this IS a boss and it will be hell easier if you're transformed into Megagon, but if you're not, it will take 100 shots to kill shots: 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Elephant Man: This enemy only appears in the jungle and it will usually give you a Megagon symbol. (If you don't kill him, he will follow you until he kills YOU) shots: 17 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mosquito: It acts like a pigeon and It will never stop coming if you don't walk. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Porcupine: Acts like a tree rabbit. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mole: They usually come out of a hole in a group of three, some of them jump high and others don't. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Frog (Blue Lizard): It walks towards you and when It's close enough It shoot three fireballs then goes away. (Just like the snakes) shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Giant Bee: It goes Flying from right to left and when it's over you it fires three fire balls shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Devil Tree**: This BOSS is pretty easy, If you're transformed into Megagon just punch the eyes, and when you're done with that the tree will be dead. If you're not transformed into Megagon then just shoot the bats that come out of the mouth to get one, just be sure to duck when the tree gets too close to you. (Needed to kill the bats) shots: 1 (Needed to destroy each eye) shots: 64 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Crab: It will just stand there and when you get too close to him he jumps at you. (It will keep jumping until it falls into the water) shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Alligator Man: It only appears near rivers and it will usually give you a Megagon symbol. (If you don't kill him, he will follow you until he gets you). shots: 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Snail: It comes out of the water, just like the gray trolls, the only difference is that you can se the slugs before they jump. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Piranha: It comes out of the water and jumps at you. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sea Horse: This enemy will come out of the river and then follow you, after a certain amount of time it will go away. (They usually come in pairs). shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Hippo Demon (Giant Rhino)**: To Kill this BOSS you will have to punch the eyes that appear in front of you, when you destroy those the eyes the real thing will appear, to kill this one just punch it in the middle of the nose and the eyes. (If you're not transformed then you're going to have a hard time killing this sucker). shots: 82 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spirit (looks like a teardrop): This "Thing" just flies through the air at high speed, Don't jump too much and you'll survive. shots: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Rat: It just runs around, if there's something on its way it will jump. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Devil (Blue head with eyes bugging out): It throws blue fire balls and if don't kill it, it will follow you. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Devil (Red head with eyes bugging out): Does the same thing that the blue one, but it will not throw any fire balls. Some times they come jumping through the screen. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Owl: If you don't kill it, it will fly down and then up. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fireball: If you walk towards it, it will go away, and if you go away it will follow you, after a little while it will fly down and then up. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Skeleton** (I don't know why, but he looks like Beatle juice): Will go after you till it gets you, if you keep attacking him, all his body parts will separate and then you'll have to kill each one of them. shots:104 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dragon Bird: Will just wonder around and sometimes if don't kill it, it will follow you. shots:8 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Armadillo: It walks around in its platform (This monster is pretty stupid). shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Dinosaur: It stands there and when you jump on its platform it shots fireballs. shots:16 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Iguana: Runs to you (Will NOT follow you if you don't kill it). shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Pterodactyl: Flies over you, sometimes throwing monsters (Sometimes it will give you a Megagon symbol). shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Dinosaur: Does the same thing that the blue Dinosaur, the only difference is that this one goes faster and jumps higher. shots:16 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Brown Iguana: Does the same thing that the blue Iguana, the only difference is that this one goes faster and jumps higher. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ **Megasaurus**: First you must shoot his neck until his head is near the ground, then shoot his horn (the neck will grow back after a while). Or just punch the horn a few times and that will be all. shots:17 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cosmic Man: It stands there and when you jump on its platform it shots fireballs. shots:16 ------------------------------------------------------------------ UFO: Flies around, sometimes they come down and follow you. You should always kill them, just for safety. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Octopus: It Jumps left and right, if you are not careful it can kill you. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lobster: Climbs a palm tree (If you leave him alive he jumps off the tree and runs around). shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Purple mini Car: Runs around it will jump sometimes. shots:4 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bird: Same thing that the one from the first level. shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gray Mosquito: Same thing than the normal mosquito (They will never stop coming if you don't keep going). shots:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gray mini Car: Same than the Purple mini car, the only difference is that this one goes faster, jumps higher and a takes a lot more shots. shots:8 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ******FINAL BOSS****** **Alien**: You just have to shoot the little star around it. If you're not transformed into Megagon, then what the hell are you waiting FOR???. If you don't have any Megagons then it will be ridiculously hard to kill. shots:108 ------------------------------------------------------------------ \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 7. TIPS & TRICKS o /=============================================================================\ ZONE 1-1 * At the end of the level when 3 birds come flying straight at you if you turn into megagon and use the laser attack sometimes the leave good items behind (Crowns, bullets, Extra lives, Megagons), the same goes for the lion man, however if you do it 2 times and get nothing just let it go, luck is not with you. ZONE 1-2 * In the middle of the level, after you kill loads of rabbits that give you bullets you'll see a mushroom in a hole, try to kill it shooting it from the ledge most of the time it gives away a megagon. * In the end, all type of enemies will appear together, if you transform into megagon and use the laser beam attack, they drop good stuff most of the time ZONE 2-1 * when you see trees with porcupines in them, jump on and shoot them I got 3 1ups the last time I played, when you jump down there will be an elephant trying to kill you. * After you pass the place where you have to jump from a turtle to another you'll see a hole with moles, transform here and shoot them, this is another good stuff spot. ZONE 2-2 * When you get off the turtle you'll come upon some moles in 3 occasions, you can turn into megagon in any or in all of these places and do the laser attack. In the last place where you can do this the ground has a " ___ " shape _| | |_____| * If you shoot he bats that come out of the Devil tree to get mega keys and bullets also if you kill them with laser attacks sometimes you'll get crowns and 1ups. ZONE 3-1 * The last 2 alligators give 1ups sometimes ZONE 3-1 * At one time when you're riding a log you'll see some crabs and alligators over you, one of those crabs give a 1up sometimes ZONE 4-1 * As soon as you see the rats kill them, for they carry mega keys if they stop coming, just go a little more to the right * If you destroy the fireballs in the first try you can get crowns, mega keys and 1ups sometimes * When you see millions of rats in the floor walk a little to the right and when you see the two owls, morph into megagon and use the laser on the rats to get good stuff while going to the right. as soon as the screen stops use all your megatons and laser on the rats and owls, you'll get a bunch of crowns and 1ups ZONE 4-2 * Killing the first and third fireball of the level on the first try, before it moves to the right or left, will give you 1up * Morph as soon as you get the megakey to avoid getting killed, the boss is right ahead ZONE 5-1 * Avoid unnecessary kills in this level, there are not too many bullets around * The first three dragon birds on the level will give out good stuff, mostly 1ups. * The blue dinosaurs will come forward and attack only if you're stepping on the same floor as them, go away before they get too close. * The pterodactyls that appears when you are on the cloud will give you mega-keys, I believe those are the only ones on the level so try not to get killed *As soon as you see a group of three blue iguanas is time to morph and laser you'll get one ups but mostly crowns ZONE 5-2 * All the blue iguanas at the begging will give you mega-keys * Kill the Dragon bird that’s going up the stairs or it'll follow you through half the level * Move fast on the stairs with the brown iguanas or a million will arrive in no time, if you like you can morph there and punch all the enemies on the level that's what I do * Just punch the Megasaurus in the horn a few times and that is all, or go for the neck so that you can reach the horn easier ZONE 6-1 * The octopuses will usually drop good stuff even when you're not megagon * The grey mini cars are some of the deadliest enemies on the game, they take loads of bullets to die to kill them so don't go for the kill unless it's necessary * Yes, the boss here is a fleet of UFOs kill them with laser to get good stuff ZONE 6-2 * The birds at the beginning will give you all the megagons you want, if you have enough points morph immediately. That will not only make the level easier but most of the enemies in the level will give you crowns, 1ups and stuff like that. * Try not to fall in the hole when you see all the mosquitoes or you'll have to morph or suicide to get out \=============================================================================/ o SECTION 8. CONTACT INFORMATION/THANKS o /=============================================================================\ Just wanted to say thanks to a few * American Sammy corp. I believe this is the only game I know from them, it's kind of weird but entertaining * Nintendo making one of the best consoles of all times * My parents cause they didn't kill me for playing that long * And finally To all the guys at gamefaqs, it's a nice place to read, have a laugh after a crappy day or discuss anything. I think this is going to be my first and final FAQ, this takes too long and I don't have time. It's just not for me, taking 4+ years to finish it is a clear sign that I got bored along the way. Who know s maybe another game will make me write I FAQ but I doubt it. Anyways see you around Darklight(darko486@hotmail.com)
