PrinceWatercress plays Ed, Edd 'n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures (PS2) - Part 1 of 9


Believe it or not, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy had a few games based on it. This is one of them. While I'm playing the PlayStation 2 version here, the game is still the same on Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft XBox.


Cool Your Ed

At the beginning of the game, Eddy wants to make a bunch of quarters off some snowcones. Edd mentions that there are some ice cubes in the coolers of the neighborhood kids, so the three Eds head off to snag some ice.

5:24 - The left analog stick lets you move around, the Square button lets you attack and X lets you jump. R1 lets you switch between the three Eds. The game will tell you to select Ed, the yellow guy and the tallest of the three Eds. You'll find out that when an object glows, you can interact with it with Triangle. With Ed, that means you can pick up an object with Triangle and press triangle again to throw it. 

6:15 - By attacking the cooler with Square, a squirrel will pop out and scare Jimmy while giving you the first of five ice cubes.

7:08 - With Eddy - the short one with the blue jeans - you can throw stink bombs to stun enemies with Circle. Ed can pick up enemies, but you'll need to stun them. Attack the cooler here for the second ice cube. As for the crate with the logs on, press L1 in front of it while playing as Ed to smash it with the Batter-Ed.

8:51 - Each level has a chicken. Chase after them with Ed and smack them with the Square button, then use Triangle to pick them up and throw them - all before time runs out - to get an Easter egg. There are six in the game altogether, one for each level.

Some enemies, such as the bright brown squirrel, will attack. If they latch on, jump repeatedly to shake them off, then attack them to get balls that will refill your health. If you die, you will have infinite lives with which to try again. 

9:55 - To get to the cooler, find a cat in the previous yard, then pick it up and throw it at the dog with Ed to get the dog away so you don't get attacked. Attack the cooler for the third ice cube.

10:51 - If you see a sandbox, dig in it with Ed by pressing Triangle. There is a sandbox in each level, and they all contain one of six costume pieces for the two bonus levels in the game.

11:42 - The first jawbreaker is in the corner. There are forty in the game. Collect them all.

12:10 - To get the fourth ice cube, switch to Edd - the guy with the red shirt and black hat - then press R2 to enter first-person view. Aim with the left stick and press Circle to shoot water balloons with the slingshot. Shoot all off the dolls down to scare off Jimmy and Sarah. The slingshot can also be used outside of first-person mode.

14:42 - Switch to Ed and throw three squirrels into the huge window of the house to scare Jimmy and Sarah again and get in. If you need to, stun the squirrels with Square.

16:33 - Throw the fridge at the door to get the last ice cube, then use Batter-Ed to break the door and get in. The crates inside contain coins, which you can use to buy jawbreakers.

17:40 - At the end, you'll meet Ralf, who keeps you from using his meatball machine. By hitting the pigs' gate with Batter-Ed, you'll free the pigs. Ralf will then want you to get the pigs corralled back in. Lift and throw all three pigs back into the pen with Ed so you enter the shed.

Inside the shed, break the crates to get the other jawbreaker in this stage, then go up to the machine with Edd and press Triangle to finish the level. Activating machines is one of Edd's special abilities. The machine ends up producing jawbreaker-sized balls of ice, which Ed ends up eating. You'll then end up in the cul-de-sac, which is the main hub of the game.
