We take on the thiefmaster, then head west to new adventures!
All maps by zagato blackfist.
If you go all the way to the south when you go as far east as you can go on the first screen, you'll reach a dead end. Go north instead. From there, you can go south, blow up a wall with a Boo Bomb and open a chest that contains Bonzebot. Bonzebot can revive your character in two-player mode, which is pretty neat. Just remember it costs as much money as it usually would in a Convenience Store. If you're playing one-player mode, he's rather useless.
If you go north at the beginning, you'll find another path. This will lead you straight to Bongoman, your first boss battle. You'll have to fight him to free the samurai from his furious electric sound and stop their cursed idleness.
Unlike the other battles we've seen throughout the game, the boss battles are done in an RPG format, which means that the game is an RPG, a platformer and a beat-'em-up all at once.
"Fight" lets you attack the enemy, "Item" lets you use an item, "Magic" lets you cast magic at the cost of M icons (the number of which this game does not let you see, but still uses nonetheless), and "Run" lets you run away from the battle (or at least try to).
To the right of the command menu is the message board describing what is currently going on, and below that is your current stats. In case you are playing a one-player game, Ryu is computer-controlled.
Bongoman's Sonic Drum and Sting Boomerang attacks hit both characters, with the Stick Boomerang doing more damage.
If your characters have a shocked look on their face during an enemy's attack, they're taking damage. If they duck, then the enemy's attack missed.
Your regular punch is pretty weak, but you can use the Shogun Sword or your T-Star magic to do slightly more damage.
Bongoman has a special Thunder Rock Music attack that has a chance to petrify both of your characters and do a good amount of damage the longer a character is paralyzed. This is where the Cupsules come into play, as they can be used to cure status ailments.
If you need to heal both characters, use Vitalizer. This will recover a lot of HP for both characters.
When you beat Bongoman, you will get a red Auraball. Bongoman's magic will also have worn off, and Edo City will be back to normal.
From here, head back to Edo City. Once again, you'll have to take the long way to get out of Mt. Wasabi and head back to town.
When you talk to the townspeople, they will be more active again.
Head back to the palace and see King Toro. He will congratulate you for making the town more active again, and says Princess Tamago is in love with you. He will tell you that long ago, he saw an Auraball in a town known as Satoon. Princess Tamago will tell you that you will need a hoverboat to get there, and will give you one. You now have the "Arc-De-Travel." King Toro will ask you to talk to Emperor Chin for more info on Satoon. Be sure to use the inn and save your game before you leave town.
Yokan
When you talk to Emperor Chin, he'll tell you that Satoon is to the west and that you'll see Fairy Land on the way there.
Once you leave, head to the west. Walk on the rocks in the water, and you'll instantly use the Arc-De-Travel. As long as you are on it, you will not have any random encounters with enemies. Once you make it to dry land on the other side, you'll be off the Arc-De-Travel and back on foot.
Once you're on dry land, you'll want to continue west. You'll eventually come across a tent consisting of an old couple and their daughter. You won't learn much there, though. Keep going west, and you'll come across a new town. This is the town of Kingland.
Kingland
You'll learn from talking to the townspeople that horrible evil lives in Satoon, and that the town used to attack Kingland a long time ago. Thanks to King Romel, however, Satoon have never attacked them. You'll also hear of a Princess Julia, and learn that Fairy Town is west of Kingland and has a beautiful princess.
You'll also meet Dr. Justice. who is currently in the hotel.
At the shop, you'll be able to get LV Counter 2, the Sterling Helmet, the Epee Saber, the Sterling Gear and Reflextar. The LV Counter 2 lets you get info on more powerful enemies, while the Reflextar is a more powerful version of T-Star.
At the castle, you'll meet King Ashur. He'll tell you that King Romel has kept the monsters of Satoon from attacking the town since he started ruling it, and thinks highly of him, saying Romel is as good as he is. The queen does not say much, however.
.
West of Kingland has more powerful enemies. You'll meet gray and blue versions of the robot enemies who strike with nunchaku, as well as red smiling elves in armor who will shoot at you with bows and arrows. You'll also meet armored boars with shields who can spit fireballs at you. Use the Epee Saber on them to do maximum damage, and hit them before they can punch you.
It won't be long until you reach Fairy Town.
Fairy Town
There is only an inn and a Convenience Store here, but there is some info you can get here, such as the fact that Princess Julia is in love with King Romel, and that the town is working on Project-3F, which is a parcel delivery service.
One of the houses contains Princess Julia. He says that her stubborn father is against Project-3F, which was started with King Romel, and because of that, he shuts himself in the Fairy Tower. An errandbot that they developed for the project was taken away, misunderstood by her father. Not surprisingly, Jack and Ryu agree to head to the tower and talk with him.
The tower is southwest, after you go south from town. Also, you'll learn to meet Miss Finny if you make your way to Satoon.
