Rurounibakajanai plays Dick Tracy for NES - Case 2 of 5


There's something beyond the first level? Yay!


Case 2: The Torchsong Tale


1. Nightclub torched! Owner says Lips Manlis did it

Check your mugshots this time. You've got a bunch of new faces compared to the last guy, one of them being Lips Manlis. His last known location is the 9th and C Barbershop, and you'll be traveling to the lower-right corner of the map to look for this guy.

If you shot down any snipers last case, you'll have to take them out again in the next case. Always keep a look out for areas where you seemingly take damage out of the blue in the city, as the snipers are the culprit. Remember, they come back whenever a new case begins.

To reach the first aid kit at the beginning, you'll have to take care of the gunman, then leap onto the counter. There is something that looks like a purple handbag with a hot pink handle on the counter. Leap onto the top of that, then leap onto the two purple blocks above it. You'll then be able to take the unarmed man up there out and get the first aid kit.

You'll find another first aid kit if you move to the right on the upper path for a while. You won't have to deal with the unarmed men below, because they get slightly nastier here. Be on the lookout, as these fist-fighters will come at you from both sides and take multiple punches to knock down.

Be careful not to exit the barber shop before you interrogate Lips Manlis. He says twenty guys will swear he was at his at the 4th and I Club all night.

By now, you should have two first aid kits. If you still need another one, there's on one the upper level just after the start.

The clue is lying on a table on the lower level, below the exit.

2. Note: 'Lips, bring $50,000 to 2nd and F or Tracy gets proof you did it'

Somebody blackmailed Lips Manlis? Well, now...

2nd and F Boiler Room


The clue here is not far from the beginning. It's at the top-most level.

3. Empty camera with engraved initial 'B.'

There's another first aid kit you can collect right after the clue, and you'll find it on the central level.

You don't want to be at the bottom level, as the rats down here will eat away at your health.

When you go through the exit, you'll have to chase after another car and shoot it down. It's Influence! Interrogate him and he'll say that 'B' will never sing again.

Breathless Mahoney, perhaps? Well, she's the only person who's name begins with B and is known for singing around here, and she was at the 5th and A Hotel.

If you need another Tommy Gun, you'll find one on the center level before the exit.

Move past the exit door and talk to Breathless Mahoney on the lower level. Thankfully, the developers actually tried and gave Breahless a separate tileset for her very own sprite.

If you interrogate her, she'll tell you it's the wrong 'B.' She then tells you to try the 7th and I Photo Shop.

7th and I Photo Shop


The clue will be on one of the doors.

4. Photos by Bug Bailey show Lips Manlis starting the fire!


9th and C Barber Shop


Go back to the police station and check your mugshots again. Yep, he's still at 9th and C Barber shop. Head all the way back to Lips Manlis and arrest him. Good job!

Case 3: 164-003-201
