TABLE OF CONTENTS I Introduction Story Some helpful tips before you begin 2-Player Pie Slap Mode II The Walkthrough III List of Items IV Conclusion/Credits Other FAQs by the same author ********************************************** * PART ONE: THE INTRODUCTION * ********************************************** This is the FAQ/Walkthrough for Cosmic Spacehead for the Genesis. For all practical purposes, it is identical to the game known as "Linus Spacehead" for the 8-bit Nintendo. As far as I know, the two games are identical, although I have never completely played through the one for NES. Thus, I am only making an assumption here :) I do plan on going through it, but if anyone can confirm that there are any differences between the two, please contact me. So why in the world did I choose to make an FAQ for this game? Well, it is a nice change from all the RPGs I have been playing recently, and it is one of those games that challenges the mind as well as the reflexes. The game has two modes... the main mode is where you run around in a "Maniac Mansion-ish" sort of setting. You point the arrow to where you want Cosmic to move, and he moves. There are 5 commands... LOOK, PICK UP, GIVE, USE, and TALK. These commands are what allows you to pick up items, talk to people, etc. As you move between screens for the first time, you will enter a side-scrolling run & jump mode where you must avoid enemies and pick up candy to gain extra lives. A weird mix, but it certainly makes the game... erm, interesting. :P The of the more useful (?) features is that is quad-lingual, capable of displaying text in English, French, Spanish, and German. Of course, if you don't know English, then this FAQ is basically useless to you. ^_^ --------STORY-------- Somewhere, in the far reaches of space... there is a planet that is only rumored to exist. It is said to contain the most strangest inhabitants in the universe. The name of this planet is.... Earth. While riding in his star-cruiser, a young boy by the name of Cosmic Spacehead "accidently" came across this strange planet. Hurriedly he raced home to his home planet, Linoleum, to tell everyoned of his discovery, but no one believed him. And to make matters worse, his star-cruiser mysteriously broke down. Now, Cosmic is determined to make his way back to Earth and prove his discovery! --------SOME HELPFUL TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN-------- - In a game of this sort, perhaps the most important thing is to experiment, Experiment, EXPERIMENT! Try LOOKING AT, TALKING TO, PICKING UP, and USING everything you see as you may gain some unexpected clues! - The only way to obtain Lino dollars is by using the Luk.E.Day machine at Cape Carnival. Don't worry about losing all your money... if you have only 1 dollar left, you will always hit the jackpot! - To obtain a password, find the P symbols scattered throughout the planet. If you USE them, they will give you a password which you can use to start the game later at that same point. - When you switch between screens, you will have to go through a run & jump level. However, once you have completed it you will never have to go through it again. So pick up as much of the Candy as you can! --------2-PLAYER PIE SLAP MODE-------- *NOTE* This mode is available in the Genesis version ONLY. This is a two-player game in which each person drives their little dinosaur-looking thing around and tries to hit the other with pies. To turn your dinosaur around, use the control pad. To move forward, use the C button, and the A button will let you go in reverse. The B button lets you fire a pie (right into your opponent's face! muahahaha). There are four "battlefields" to choose from, as well. From time to time, a colored... thing will appear on the screen. Different colored... "things" do different "things". :P YELLOW -- Gives you "bumper pies"! Your pies will bounce off the walls, but they will still disappear after a little while. RED -- Speeds up your pies! BLUE -- Speeds up your dinosaur! GREEN -- Gives you greater control over your pies. Use the direction pad after firing to give your pies a curve! PURPLE -- Lets you fire two pies in rapid succession! Well, the rest is pretty much self-explanatory. Just remember to waste your opponent before they waste you! :P ********************************************** * PART TWO: THE WALKTHROUGH * ********************************************** And, without further adieu... the walkthrough! Our buddy Cosmic starts off in OLD LINO TOWN. The only item you have at this point is your BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Instead of moving the arrow down to the commands (which can get annoying at times), press the B button and the commands will appear automatically. Keep pressing the B button until the correct one comes up. First, take the LINO TOWN TELEKEY to the left. Then go to the right and pick up the LINO DOLLAR. That machine there is a teleport machine, and can take you quickly from place to place, but only if you have the correct telekey. For example, you can only get to Old Lino Town if you have the OLD LINO TOWN TELEKEY. For now, the teleport machine is useless. :P Once you get the telekey and coin, head left off the screen. You'll come to the first action area. Move to the left, using the C button to jump. Watch out for the critters, you'll lose a life if you hit one. Also, be sure to pick up the Candy... if you collect 10 of them you'll gain an extra life! Note that also you have temporary control over Cosmic after he gets hit by a critter. As he is falling upside-down to the bottom of the screen, you can move him left and right with the direction keys to pick up candies. Think of it as the bright side of dying. :P This action area has 10 CANDIES. If you pick them all up, you'll get an extra life! When you reach the far left, walk off the screen and you'll find yourself in CAPE CARNIVAL. Here you will find a P symbol. Using a command on it lets you obtain a password which you can use to start the game at that point later. TALK TO the attendant and you'll learn that you can win a ticket to Detroitica if you win the bumper car race. Cosmic tries to sign up, but unfortunately he doesn't have a driving license. But, the nice attendant gives you a HELIUM BALLOON as a consolation. After obtaining the balloon, go over to the slot machine (also known as the LUK-E-DAY machine). USE your LINO DOLLAR in it and you will hit the jackpot! You'll receive 50 LINO DOLLARS! Wow... not bad, eh? You can keep pumping in money, but there's no guarantee that you'll win or not. The one thing to remember is, that you will always win when you put your last dollar in there. Once you have at least 50 dollars, head back right to Old Lino Town. USE the DOOR to enter the Post Office. First, use 1 LINO DOLLAR in the SUPA-VEND VENDING MACHINE to get some GUNPOWDER. (Gunpowder in a Vending Machine? What kind of planet is this?) Then, TALK TO the lady in the ENQUIRIES OFFICE and buy some notepaper and stamps for 10 LINO DOLLARS. You'll get a READY-MADE LETTER. USE this LETTER in the MAILBOX and Cosmic will send it off to his Cousin Linochev. Now, TALK TO the lady in the LOST PROPERTY office. She has two things there... a JOKE BOOK and a MISSILE TARGETING DEVICE (?!?). She will give you the JOKE BOOK but you'll need proof that you own the Missile Launcher before she'll give it to you. The JOKE BOOK does nothing except tell jokes. LOOK AT it! Finally, since we are on a spending spree, go over to the Photo U- Like Booth and spend another LINO DOLLAR to get some PASSPORT PHOTOS. Talk to the lady in the ENQUIRIES OFFICE again and Cosmic will ask for a passport. She'll take a look at your BIRTH CERTIFICATE, take your PASSPORT PHOTOS, and give you a PASSPORT! Now exit the Post Office. If you look at the bottom part of the screen, you'll see some fences. Between those is an exit off the bottom of the screen. USE it to enter the next action area. Make your way to the right, picking up the 6 CANDIES along the way. Once you make it through this area, you'll be at the border between Old Lino Town and Formica! There is another PASSWORD here should you need to use it. Show your PASSPORT to the PASSPORT OFFICIAL and the doors will open. Head off the right side of the screen into another action area. There are 6 CANDIES here as well. Once you make it through this area, you'll be at a riverbank. PICK UP the ICING SUGAR. You won't be able to use the bathtub yet because it is leaky and somewhat dangerous. Now, head back to Old Lino Town and head right off the screen to yet another action area. Try to gather all 7 CANDIES as you make your way to the right. You'll come out in the Wilderness. However, there is a big green scary one-eyed monster in the middle of the path. GIVE him your balloon and he will float away :) Continue to the right and through the action area (10 candies). You'll now be at the COOL POOL, where there is a pond that is cold but not quite frozen over. Maybe we should help it out a bit, eh? Use your ICING SUGAR to freeze the pond. Now you can cross to the other side! This next action area is tricky. It is completely dark, and the only source of light is the lightning that flashes from time to time. The plants in the background seem to have "steps" on them... they can be climbed to jump over the bigger gaps. There are 5 CANDIES... try to get them all! DODGEY CITY looks pretty bleak. There are shadows of creepy things all around that scatter at your slighest movement. First pick up the DODGEY CITY TELEKEY. There is also a PASSWORD here if you want to use it. The only other thing here is a teleport machine which unfortunately is locked. However there seems to be something inside... how could we get there??? But of course! Go back to Old Lino Town and use the Dodgey City telekey to teleport back to Dodgey City. You'll be inside the teleport machine. Although you can't get out, you can still pick up the item inside... it's a WATERPROOF PLUG! Now use the OLD LINO TOWN TELEKEY to head back to Old Lino Town. Before going back to the bathtub, go back to Cape Carnival and pump money into the LUK-E-DAY machine until you have at least 50 dollars again. Then go back to the riverbank and USE the WATERPROOF PLUG in the bathtub. Now that the leak is sealed, you're good to go! Sail in the bathtub to the other side of Dodgey City. Pick up the SURF BOARD and continue to the right for another action area. This one is very similar to the previous one in that there is no light. Dodgey City is a very creepy place indeed. There are 7 more CANDIES waiting to be picked up as well :) When you reach the other side of Dodgey City, you'll meet a guy known as Shady Lionel. He can help you get off this planet by selling you a pirated Driver's License for 50 Lino Dollars! Cosmic Robbery! Well, at least now you have a DRIVER'S LICENSE. Go back to Cape Carnival and talk to the attendant again. Now that you have a license, Cosmic will enter the bumper car race! (under the name of the original license holder.. Larry Flint ?!?) The bumper car race is rather difficult. Use the C button move forward, while using the direction keys to turn. Remember these are bumper cars so they will bounce all over the place easily if you hit walls or other cars. Cosmic is in the yellow car :) Also be sure to watch out for the holes in the track. If you are unfortunate enough to fall into one, you will be carried back to the starting line. Don't worry about beating the other cars... instead concentrating on finishing the 3 laps in the time limit. There's no way you can lose unless you run out of time. It will seem like the blue car is way ahead of everyone, but about midway through the second lap it goes out of control ^_^ If you can finish 3 laps in the time limit, you win! You will receive a TICKET TO DETROITICA! Also, be sure to use the LUK-E-DAY machine again until you have at least 50 dollars. Now, head back to the border and take the west path to go to FORMICA. But first you'll have to go through another action area :) Get the 7 CANDIES and when you get to Formica, pick up the FORMICA TELEKEY. To the left you'll notice an electric field barring the way left. USE that button and you'll jump up onto it. The electric field will disappear! However, once you step off that button, the field comes back. Hmm... Well this time we'll have to make use of the abnormal effects that sometimes result from teleportation. Use the Old Lino Town Telekey in the teleport machine to teleport to Old Lino Town. Then, use the Formica Telekey in the teleport machine to go back to Formica. When you arrive back at Formica, Cosmic will be cloned! Move Cosmic onto the button, then press A to switch to the other Cosmic. Put the second Cosmic on the other button. Once this is done, the barrier is neutralized and you can pass through it freely! Continue through the next action area, picking up the 8 CANDIES along the way. Soon you'll come to the Cosmic Coast. Using your SURFBOARD, head off the west side of the screen to a surfing action area. Avoid the fishies that jump out of the water and grab the 6 CANDIES, and when you exit you'll be on the coast of Linograd. Unfornuately, you won't be able to enter from here because you need a visa. Pick up the FUSEWIRE. Then head back to the Post Office in Old Lino Town. TALK to the ENQUIRIES OFFICE and... surprise! Cousin Linochev has replied already! In his letter, he gives this simple instruction... "Go to Cape Carnival.. all will be revealed". ?!? Well, might as well go to Cape Carnival, huh? Sure enough, once you get there you'll see a secret tunnel in the ground. However, the tunnel is completely dark! Looks like we're gonna have to use the abnormal effects of teleportation again... Go back to Formica and use the Old Lino Town telekey to get back to Old Lino Town. Cosmic will now begin to glow like a light bulb! This will serve as your light to get you through the tunnel. Well, even so... the light isn't much. WATCH YOUR STEP! If you fall into the water or a pit, your history... just make your way to the left. Sometimes you will have to go down to the lower area to bypass a pit that is too far to jump... When you hit the far left, jump up out of the tunnel and you will be in Linograd, at a huge launch pad. First, head left off the screen. Go through the action area (5 CANDIES) and you will come to a cave. Pick up the MATCH. There is another PASSWORD here as well. Now, head back out of the caves to Linograd. Go back into the secret tunnel (you don't actually have to go back through it :) and back to Old Lino Town. Talk to the lady at the LOST PROPERTY office and since you have enough stuff to launch a missile, she will give you the MISSILE TARGETING DEVICE. Now head back to Linograd. USE the TARGETING DEVICE in the MISSILE. Then, use the FUSEWIRE in the MISSILE, and lastly the GUNPOWDER on the MISSILE. Now, use the MATCH on the FUSEWIRE and watch the fireworks! The missile slams right into the barrier on the right side of the area, allowing passage to the right! Head right, through the action area (6 CANDIES). You'll now be at No Man's Causeway, where there is a pool that is too big to jump. You have no ICING SUGAR left and the SURFBOARD doesn't work either. You guessed it.... TELEPORT EFFECTS! The only thing that complicates this one is that the teleporter in Linograd only accepts "incoming calls". This means you can't "dial out"... or in other words.. you can't teleport out but you can teleport in. So, use the secret tunnel and head back to Old Lino Town. Then use the LINOGRAD TELEKEY in the teleport machine to head back to Linograd. When you exit, Cosmic will have... Cosmic strength! Enough to jump over that pool! Head through the next action area (8 CANDIES) and pick up the Linoville TELEKEY. There's also a PASSWORD here. Head to the right through yet another action area (9 CANDIES) and you will be in Linoville! In Linoville, you'll see a door that is just too high for you to reach. Well, you know the procedure by now. Use the Old Lino Town Telekey in the machine to go back to Old Lino Town, then use the LINOVILLE TELEKEY to go directly back to Linoville. This teleport machine will give you a lasting-teleport effect, meaning that wherever your point, Cosmic will teleport instead of move. By using this, you can enter the door into the camera shop! TALK to the assistant and buy a CAMERA and a roll of SUPA COLOR FILM for 50 Lino Dollars. Then, exit the shop and continue to the right through one last action area (7 CANDIES). Finally! The bus depot! With your hard-earned TICKET TO DETROITICA... the bus will pick you up and Cosmic is on is way!!! The bus will land at the Detroitica bus stop. Head to the right (you guessed it -- another action area! 9 CANDIES) and you will come to the reception room of the robot factory. You'll notice a computer here, but it cannot be turned on unless you have a key. There is also a PASSWORD here. :) Head right, through the door that says "Staff Only". (Hey, why not?) This is a semi-action area... move to the right.. but watch out for the repair drones that fly left and right across the top of the screen from time to time. They send electrical beams down... they won't kill you but they will knock you off balance and down to the conveyor belt which in turn sweeps you all the way back to the reception room. Just be careful, OK? Once you proceed far enough, you will find the computer room key. Pick it up and then go back to the reception room (it's easiest just to get zapped). Use the KEY on the computer... You will be asked to enter a de-activation code that consists of three characters (denoted by colored bumper cars) and four places. Think of it as a four-digit number where the numbers can each be only 1, 2, or 3. When you place the code, the computer will check the code.. if you got one of the "numbers" right a check-mark will appear under it, telling you that number is correct. (some security, huh?) To confuse you, sometimes a ? mark will appear... probably a stupid big in the computer... :P If you fail 3 times the program will be aborted and the code will change. The drones will now be de-activated, making your trek through the factory a lot easier. Proceed to the right and you will come to the Workshop. There's nothing to do here, so continue to the right. You will then meet a huge robot who throws scrap metal at you. The object is to get all the way to the right side of the screen. If you get hit with a piece of junk, Cosmic will be knocked backwards... if you are hit 3 times, you will be set onto the conveyor belt and dumped into the Scrapyard. If that happens, you'll have to go through an action area (7 CANDIES) to get back to the factory reception room. Once you get past the robot, you'll be in the Staff Room. Get your PASSWORD, then press the red button on the wall. The door will open, revealing the hiding place of all the Detroitica people. They will thank you for your help and one of them will give you his CAR KEYS and tell you to escape Detroitica immediately! This last action zone is very annoying because there are little electric beams that shoot through the areas where you need to jump :P. So you'll need to time your jumps wisely. Try to get all 7 CANDIES... When you make it all the way to the right, you hit the CAR LOT. There, Cosmic will use his new-found keys and zoom off in a space cruiser! At last Cosmic is on his way back to Earth! Unfortunately, along the way Cosmic hits a belt of asteroids. Use the direction keys to maneuver around. It doesn't matter if you hit the asteroids or not... I think you may actually be supposed to (-shrug-) Well, after playing all that asteroid dodge-ball, the car has guzzled its meager fuel supply. So Cosmic decides to stop at a Space Station to refuel. At the Gas Station, you'll find another password. Now all you have to do is refuel and you're home free! But of course, even a simple refuel job gets complicated. The gas pumps only work with Spacebucks, which you don't have. Looks like you'll have to find some! BTW, if you want a laugh, try to use the gas pump on the right. :) Go down the tunnel into the hub of the Space Station. Here you will find 6 doors... each labeled with a name. There are items behind each of the doors, one of which is the spacebucks. You will need the other 5 items to get to the spacebucks, and usually you will need one item to get another. So there is a "best" order to do the doors in. First, enter Door 4... labelled "No 4... No Floor!" This action area, well, doesn't have much of a floor at all. Just hop along the platforms and pick up the 6 CANDIES. Once you hit room number 4, walk up the stairs and pick up the ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE, which works as a mini-elevator. Now, head back to the hub. Next, enter door 2... labelled "No 2... Hard to Get Thru!" This action zone goes to the left, and there is a strong wind blowing to the right... making the going from right to left slower (hence the name)... just trudge to the left, watching out for enemies, and picking up the 7 CANDIES. Once inside, go to the left and position yourself in the gap in platforms above you and use the ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE. Then pick up the TRAMPOLINE! Head back to the hub. Next, enter door 5... labelled "No 5... Ordinary Really" Well, this one is pretty much normal. Just move to the right avoiding the enemies like you always do, and be sure to pick up the 7 CANDIES. Once inside, head right and use the ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE, then TRAMPOLINE yourself up to the ledge where the BRIDGE is! Back to the hub! Next, enter door 6... labelled "No 6... Gravity Mix" This one is strange... the gravity changes at random. When the screen flashes, gravity has changed. Sometimes Cosmic will jump lower than normal (which is pretty bad considering he can barely jump in the first place), and sometimes he will jump higher than normal (he needs all the help he can get :P) Get the 7 CANDIES and continue :) When you get to the room inside, head to the right and use your ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE, then move left and use your BRIDGE to get across the gap. Head to the left and use the TRAMPOLINE to get the BLOWPIPE! Now head back to the hub yet again... Next, enter door 3... labelled "No 3... I Can't See" Ack.. probably the most annoying of the six. From time to time, the screen will turn blood red, making everything invisible except for Cosmic, the enemies, and candy. Head to the left, but when the screen turns red, stop and wait for it to change back. Get the 6 CANDIES as well! You'll have to use all your tools to get the item here. First, head left and up the stairs. Use the BRIDGE to cross the gap. Head to the right and fall down above the box that says "37". Use the TRAMPOLINE to get back to the ledges up top. Move to the right, and if you fall in between to the two tiny ledges, use the ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE to get back up onto the on the right. Finally, position yourself close to the box and use the BLOWPIPE to blow the box down onto the floor. Pick up the BOX and head back to the hub! Finally, door 1... labelled "No 1... Weighs a Ton" This one really weighs you down. Gravity is increased, making it harder for Cosmic to jump. Carefully make your way to the left and collect the 6 CANDIES. When you head inside, you'll notice a green thing wandering around on the left. Believe it or not, that is 10 Spacebucks. First head to the right and use the ANTI-GRAVITY SLIDE. Then use the TRAMPOLINE to get up top, then use the BRIDGE to cross the gap to the left. Fall down to the left to get to the ledge(s) where the spacebucks are and use the money box. When the spacebucks fall, they will land in the money box! You've got them! Now, head back to the hub one last time and use the gravity trampoline to jump back up to the gas station. Use the GAS PUMP and you've won! Cosmic takes pictures of the strange planet known as Earth and proves to everyone that he discovered it! Now you can sit and... erm... watch the credits over and over again :) ***END OF WALKTHROUGH*** ********************************************** * PART THREE: LIST OF ITEMS * ********************************************** Well, to make it a little easier (?)

I hope this helped somehow. Like I said before, from what I've seen... the NES version (Linus Spacehead) appears to be identical to Cosmic, but if there are any big differences please let me know :) ---CREDITS--- Uh... credits?
