Taz Wanted - Strategy Guide (Page 03)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Taz Wanted - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
WANTED POSTER #3/7: Drilling the ceiling Go back down and make your way to the cavern with the mine car and drill hole. Jump down the drill hole. Proceed along the path. You'll come to a bridge with 2 electric fences and some of the floorboards are gone. The electricity only flows in one direction so time your jumps to get to the other side. Further along the cavern you'll get to another one. Get over it the same way. After the second electric bridge, there will be sandwiches and stuff to destroy. Make it up the sloped pathway to the top. Jump on the dynamite lever to start the drill spinning and it will destroy the Wanted Poster in the ceiling. WANTED POSTER #4/7: Gumball machine Exit out that cavern back to the main cave. Go along the left wall from where you are and eventually you'll come to an elevator. Get into it and go down. You'll pass by 4 odd floors and come back to the bottom. Exit out and go behind the flame thrower. Spin yourself along the wall with the sandwiches and you'll end up near 2 red machines. Spin the right button and a cart will come out of nowhere and stop. Spin the left button if you want to see how the machine is supposed to work. Go ahead and go up along the narrow path, walk in front of the flamethrower and turn right to go up a hill and stairs. There are some things here to do. If you turn left out of the hole, you'll see the cart that was stopped. Spin the barricade that was stopping it and it will move forward. It stops again so go and spin the other barricade to send gumballs into the machine to jam it, blow it up, and destroy the Wanted Poster. WANTED POSTER #5/7: Floating box Wanted Poster In the same room, you'll see that there is some water with boxes floating in it. Go down the hill to the water. There are 5 rows of boxes. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th rows are basically a green box that floats from one end to the other. The 2nd, 4th rows have orange and grey boxes. The orange ones sink and the grey ones teeter. Jump onto the 1st green moving box and take it to the end. Jump onto the grey box with a sandwich. Jump on the second moving green box, to the 4th row grey box. Finally, make it to the last green box and then jump onto land where there is a Wanted Poster you need to destroy. WANTED POSTER #6/7: Gold Room platform From the room with the Wanted Poster, break through the blue/ yellow boards and go out to the other end. You will come back to the floating boxes. Do the same thing here, green to grey/ green/grey/green, finally to the grey one right by the ledge. Go back up and make your way back to the 2 red machines. Make sure you have a costume on. Past them there will be a 'Do Not Enter' sign. Smash through them all until you reach a really long corridor. Follow the path and eventually there will be a steep slide. Spin down it all the way and you will soar over to the next ledge. The path eventually curves to the left so to keep from falling, you need to spin around the ENTIRE ledge until it flattens out and you can walk safely. Go up the hill and eventually you'll come to a building. Destroy the catcher and enter the building. There is a large round platform. Stand on one end of it so the other end raises up. When the other side gets near one of the three Wanted Poster signs, immediately spin yourself into them until all 3 are destroyed. WANTED POSTER #7/7: If you need sandwiches, there are some on the floor of the room. If you still need to destroy stuff, there are a lot of boxes around the outside of the building. After you're done, to go back to the cave you were in before, get onto the conveyor belt. Walk on it being careful to jump over the piggy banks that appear. At the 1st platform is a sandwich. The 2nd one has a Spin-Pad. The reason for this is the 3rd one has a WITB that would love to shove you off into the water below. Disable it and go past it. You will eventually come to the entrance. Wait for the path to come close to you so you don't miss and fall into the water after all the hard work. Go back out the doorway into the red machine cavern. There's one more Wanted Poster and I saved it for last. Make your way to the room that had the hole to the drill and the mine car. Jump in the mine car to start the final Wanted Poster. The controls are as follows: x to jump / O for boost / DOWN to slow down. You can lean left or right to grab sandwiches or jump up for some sandwiches. Here is the layout of the mine car ride. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The first thing you will do is jump a log. The track splits then. Left are 2 sandwiches you have to jump for OR right that has 2 logs you must jump over. Onto the next building: There are rocks here you have to lean to avoid. First lean left, then right. (If you hold lean for too long, Taz will get tired and the car will drop down crashing over whatever obstacle is underneath it). After the rocks, the following building has a log with a light on it. You must lean right to avoid it. The next area is nothingness where you can lean back and forth to collect the sandwiches. The next building you come to when you are riding straight up has nothing in it at all. The building after that one you need to lean right and then jump a log. The next building you must lean right, then a jump, then lean left. The next room that has danger signs and skulls means that there is a break in the track up ahead. So get ready to either hit your speed boost when you reach the gap or jump it. The next obstacle is another broken track you must navigate over and then prepare to lean right to avoid the rocks. The last area is the lava fork. There are 3 paths. The easiest ones are either: 1) Hold left down the entire time making sure to drop when you come to sandwiches. 2) Hold right down the entire time making sure to drop when there are sandwiches. 3) Dead center. The track is broken but you can't jump, you need to lean right, then immediately left. After a while, another right then left. Finally a right and then sandwiches. No matter which way you take you should at the end smash into the Wanted Poster. The ride isn't over yet though. You need to jump over another gap, a couple sandwiches, and then one last jump and you'll arrive at the room with the red machines. If you need 10 sandwiches, you can get here through the different paths at the end. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now that you have completed everything at Cartoon Strip-Mine (hopefully), you can go back to the office with the mine car that was locked before to exit the level. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D. BOSS: Dodge City In order to defeat Sam, you are going to have to dodge the TNT that he throws. You need to stand next to each of the fragile boxes with the red Xs on them and lure Sam to throw his TNT at you. When it lands near the box, run away avoiding the red arrow area (blast area). Once the box blows up, continue on. The fuse starts at 5 seconds but after the first fireworks box blows, they start at 4. Then at 3 after the second one. Then 2 and finally 1. He throws them very fast at this point. Defeat this boss and you'll make it to your home island of Tasmania. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IX. World 4: Tasmania ********************* A. Tazland A-maze-ment Park GOLDEN SAM STATUE: OK, the first thing to do is collect the sandwiches. There are a lot of things to destroy. We're gonna tackle the Golden Statue first since it's right here. After you've destroyed a couple of the pop-up Tazs, as you're walking on the very, very first narrow bridge, look to the left and you will see a small island with a cave. Inside that cave is guess what-the statue. (Many thanks to loothor for helping me figure this one out or else this walkthrough would have never been completed). Right past the first narrow bridge you will come to a ledge on your right. There's a sign on it and a couple things to destroy. Go ahead and jump on it. Destroy the red/orange tree to create a stump. Now jump on the stump. Turn yourself around and you'll see a tall red/orange tree standing near you with 2 branches coming off it. Jump to the first branch and then hop up onto the very top of the tree. Ahead of you, towards the beginning, you can see the green tops of the trees. Jump to the first one right in front of you and steady yourself on it. Turn right to face the island and there will be another tree like yours that is right in front of you. Jump across the path to it. Now, the next tree is a palm tree. You won't make it to the very top but you will land on the lower fronds to the right of the trunk. That is fine. Back yourself up near the trunk and face the island. Now say your prayers and spin yourself right for the island. You should come very close to it. Remember to jump at the last minute and it should make landing on the island fairly easy. If you fall, you can try it again and again until you get it right. On the island, go into the cave and grab the statue. Now get the bubble gum and float back to the main island. (ALTERNATE SOLUTIONS TO GETTING THE STATUE) 1. Spin up the large unbreakable tree closest to the Golden Sam island at the very start of the level. You have to spin up past the first branch at least to reach the island, the higher Taz spins up the tree the easier the trip across. 2. Spin off at the ledge on the left as you are walking through. This is tricky but let Taz build up to full spin then take off as close to the fence section on the ledge as you can. WANTED POSTER #1/7: Wrecking Ball wall Go along the path and you will come to a Spin-Pad in front of the white pipe. Activate it and spin through the pipe to the other side. Keep going and go left of the catcher and you should take out a WITB. Now go back to where the pipe is and jump in the phone booth for the caveman costume. There is one other catcher here to get rid of. At the end of the path is a Spin-Pad. Activate it if you want to eliminate the WITBs on the ground to collect sandwiches. **(There is absolutely no bonus game for this level after collecting 100 sandwiches. There is only the game tally that says you managed to collect 100 sandwiches on all 10 levels, or whatever you did)**. OK, activate the Spin-Pad and walk up the wooden plank into the hollowed tree. Don't spin or else you may destroy the plank. Once in the tree, jump onto the hanging log then walk along the planks being careful not to fall off them. At the inter section where you can turn right, do it and you will see the WITB you need to get rid of. From where the WITB was, turn right and go over the plank. This one will break when you walk over it so watch it. When you reach the top, there will be a large steam shovel and a lot of white logs in the water. Once you start walking on the logs, the gramophone starts up. Time it so that the shovel passes you just as you start walking around to the right. Get off at the red log. Keep doing this at each red log until you reach the second shovel. This shovel only moves forward and backwards. The last shovel moves back and forth along the far log. Once you are past them all, you will come to a grassy area. Jump on the dynamite lever to destroy the gramophone. Find the brown box and spin it. It'll open up. Spin the button inside to cause the wrecking ball to smash the Wanted Poster and make a hole in the wall. WANTED POSTER #2/7: Bird's Nest Egg Walk through the hole and you will come to some trunks. Jump from the shortest one and continue along until you get to the tree planks. Walk along to the first tree. After you pass over the next plank, one plank will fall down so you can get to the first level. Further ahead you will see ropes leading to a sandwich. Carefully tiptoe along the rope to the sandwich. From here, you can turn right and go along the rope for a sand wich or keep going straight to the far tree. Past that tree, there will be a wooden plank leading down into an area with a lot of thorny plants. Walk along them and turn left. Go all the way to the end of the strip and you'll find the chili pepper. Use it to get rid of every plant here. Clear the statue's mouth of plants and enter it to jump up to the second level. Repeat the same thing on this level. If you have to go back and get another chili pepper, go ahead. Before bouncing to the third level, go back to the first level and look for the Spin-Pad. Activate it and jump up to the third level. Destroy the WITB, then go get one more chili pepper. Come back here with the pepper and destroy all the plants. The 2 most important plants are the one along the fence on the edge and at the very far end behind trees near the crane. Take care of destroying what you want and you can climb the crane for some sandwiches. Go back to where the witch doctor is and look at the large tree. Take the elevator inside it to the top. You'll have to jump along a series of planks going up and around the tree. One plank will bounce you up. Carefully make your way up and you'll reach the white branches. Go up them and bounce off the red plank and eventually you'll bounce your way into the nest. Spin the egg 3 times to destroy the Wanted Poster. WANTED POSTER #3/7: Dynamite Destruction Wanted Poster Now, from the nest, look down to make sure you can jump down onto the ground that you rode the elevator up from. Between the crane and the elevator tree is a Spin-Pad. Activate it and approach the broken fence along the cliff where you destroyed the thorny plant. Run and jump forward to the first tree. Turn right and time your bounce off the board so you can bounce to the tree with the sandwich. Land and turn left. Jump onto the tree with the long red plank. Turn right and you will see the WITB to destroy. Once you are done with it, walk along the white branch and make your way to the ground with the little pond. Around the far side of the pond is a board covered hole you can fall down but there is a WITB so instead, go over the bridge being careful cause some planks fall. If you have a costume, destroy the catcher. If not, hurry and run to the right to avoid the catcher. There will be a second catcher and a phone booth so you can get rid of both catchers. Go back to where the bridge is and you will see a Spin-Pad. Activate it and hurry back across the bridge. Spin to hurry and fall into the hole that is covered with the boards. Fall down and destroy the WITB. Find the dynamite lever and jump on it to blow up the Wanted Poster and a couple of walls as well. WANTED POSTER #4/7: Log house Chimney Wanted poster Spin back up the hole and carefully go back over the bridge one last time. Take a left and you will come to 4 blue logs. Spin up them but be careful because there are logs 4 at a time rolling down the hill. Go ahead and make it up the hill to the building that the logs are coming out of. Walk behind it and you'll see the chimney. Spin up the chimney and jump onto the roof to reach the Wanted Poster. WANTED POSTER #5/7: Log-processing factory Get down from the log house and go back down the hill. Go down the blue logs and take a left. There are white logs floating in the water. Go back to the bridge and activate the Spin-Pad. Now run back here and jump onto the white logs. Make it across 3 and the WITB will be on the fourth one. Destroy it and jump to the next log. Stand on one end to raise the other end and then leap onto the stumps. There are 2 of them that will fall if you stand too long. Turn left and jump onto the red ledge. Jump forward onto the 2 hanging logs, then to the plank. 3 more hanging logs and then finally jump onto the green grassy area. Go upstairs and enter the door. Go down the long curved corridor and you'll come to the log-processing factory. This is somewhat tough to do. Once you enter, turn right and you'll see the first button. Spin it to start the saws. (They only last for a short time so you gotta hurry). Now the hard part. Turn around and jump onto the conveyor belt. Pass by 2 saws and turn right. Pass a couple more saws and then you'll have the option to turn right BEFORE or AFTER the muncher. Choose BEFORE and you will come to a Spin-Pad. Activate it and continue on. Turn right and you will go up the conveyor ramp. Jump over the red log to the other side and destroy the WITB. Quickly spin the second button here to drop the log and saw it to destroy the Wanted Poster. WANTED POSTER #6/7: Jet Engine Blowout After you finish the Wanted Poster, a door'll open near the second button that you can enter to go outside. Go around the island to the other side where the phone booth is. You'll come to a bridge along the left side. Follow the walkway and you'll reach a waterfall and a Spin-Pad. Further ahead is a catcher. Get rid of him. Activate the Spin-Pad and hurry over the water fall and run to the red thorny plants. Run into them to bounce yourself up to the mountaintop. Run along and fall down at the other side. Turn right and there's a bridge you need to cross with the WITB. Destroy the WITB and go to the other side. Turn left and go to the end of the pathway. Jump over the blue suitcases and you'll see a fence. If you look on the other side of the fence, it has a Wanted Poster painted on it. Go to the end of the jet engine near the edge of the cliff and jump into it to destroy the Wanted Poster. WANTED POSTER #7/7: Surrounded by thorny plants in Monkey Land From the luggage cart near the jet engine, walk around to the left and you'll follow a path to some hedges, If you get onto the hedges, you'll make it to the other end to Monkey Land. Proceed along the top of the hedges and then along each area with monkeys getting rid of the dynamite to make this easier. At the very end you'll see the Wanted Poster surrounded by thorny plants. Make your way back over the hedges to the beginning where the chili pepper on the tire was. Grab the pepper and jump onto the hedges. Carefully walk along the tops of them until you get to the first monkey area. Jump from the hedge over the first monkey area into the second one. This one has a tire under the tree. Bounce off the tire into the next section. If you didn't clear the dynamite, there's a chance you'll swallow one and swallow the chili pepper. Bounce past the last monkey section and you'll land at the Wanted Poster area. Blow fire to destroy everything in there. Go back to where the jet engine was and go back around to the bridge you crossed that had a WITB on it but don't go over the bridge. Continue past the bridge and you will come to a very long bridge where you see a mountain in the distance with Yosemite Sam's picture on it. Now that you have completed everything at Tazland A-maze-ment Park (hopefully), you can go across the bridge and enter the mountain with Sam's face to finish the level and confront Sam. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= B. BOSS: Disco Volcano The first of the 2 boss levels. It's you against Sam. The first one to 6 points wins. Sam has to depress the dynamite lever 6 times to blow up the volcano. You, will have to jump to the center of the volcano onto the spinning platform and grab a chili pepper. Then carefully jump across to the other side and watch to see what area Sam jumps to. When you're on land, follow behind him watching where he goes. When he jumps onto the dynamite lever, quickly run over to him. Face him DIRECTLY so you don't miss, and fire blast him so he cannot push the lever down. Do this 6 times and you will defeat him. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= C. BOSS: The Hindenbird OK, now we see who's really behind the entire thing. Little innocent looking Tweety. This boss fight is broken down into 3 stages. 1) Tweety controls his yellow robot. There is a shield around it to protect him. The only time the shield is down is when he is going to throw a box at you. Eat a box and wait for the shield to de-activate. When it does, aim and spit the box at the robot. Do this 4 times to conquer stage 1. 2) There are 4 large cylinders with magnetic force surging from them. Tweety takes his energy form these. They open up occasionally and Tweety unleashes a large magnetic charge at you. Eat a box and when the cylinders open, aim and spit the box into one of the 4 white boxes inside. You can hit them in any order but you need to hit each cube twice to turn them from green to yellow. Then again from yellow to red. Once all 4 are red, stage 2 is finished. 3) By far the hardest of the 3. Tweety is on the other side of the gap in front of a door. You need to open the door to release him beat the game. To do this, there are 4 switches colored red. You need to spit a box out and hit each one to turn it green. The problem is they have to be hit in a certain order and then after a while, the switches revert back to red and you will have to do it again. Try going left to right or right to left, then alternating them. The entire time, Tweety's firing homing projectiles at you that you have to run from. I found running to be the most effective dodging technique. Once you manage to turn all 4 switches green, door behind Tweety will open and suck him out. Congratulations, you finally beat the game. It's pretty fun. Now you can try it on a harder difficulty. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= X. Bonus games (100 sandwiches collected) ***************************************** Once you manage to collect 100 sandwiches in any level, you will unlock a special bonus game which you can play from the world hub. In front of the level, there will be a phone booth. The difference in this one from the regular ones is that it will be ALL BLUE and have a propeller on top. Once you manage to beat the bonus game, Sam will up the bounty on you a certain amount of money (first time ONLY). Yosemite Zoo: Zooney Tunes ========================== $2,000 You must complete 2 entire laps through the level race course within the time limit. There are 9 checkpoints that you must pass through. Each one gives you an extended amount of time to complete the race. If you can't pass it the first time, no worries. You can do it as often as you need to complete it. Yosemite Zoo: Ice Burg ====================== $4,000 You must spin through the course one time making it to the 7th checkpoint within the allotted time limit. Spinning is the only way to make it through on time. Yosemite Zoo: Looney Lagoon =========================== $6,000 You must break 50 boxes in 60 seconds. This isn't as easy as it seems. You need to avoid falling in the water. You must cross over pipes. The second island has green slippery stuff on it. You need to jump on the boxes here and spin to break them. Bounce over the sponges and the next island has a ton of boxes. Time goes by even when you fall into the water so this one is a little trickier then the other race levels. Sam Francisco: Samsonian Museum =============================== $15,000 You must complete 2 laps around the lobby in 60 seconds. Seems easy right. But of course, you will be racing on the floor buffer which is a little bit difficult to control. Make it through 8 checkpoints and that is it. Sam Francisco: Looningdale's ============================ $10,000 You must complete 2 laps around the store in 60 seconds. But you're gonna do it using the shopping cart. Just keep pressing CIRCLE and controlling your cart and make it through all 11 checkpoints to get the bounty. Sam Francisco: Bank of Samerica =============================== $20,000 You must destroy 40 box in 60 seconds. This is as hard as the previous box breaking level. There is bubble gum that you can use to float but you don't travel fast with it. Remember that the boxes up high must be reached by jumping on other boxes to reach them. Try not to fall off the buildings cause you will lose time. Definitely not my favorite bonus game. Wile E. West: Granny Canyon =========================== $50,000 You must ride a jet-bike around the level and complete 2 laps in 60 seconds. Fairly easy. CIRCLE accelerates. Go through the checkpoints and you should have it pretty easy. Wile E. West: Taz: Haunted ========================== $150,000 You must destroy 45 boxes in 60 seconds. Just like the last 2 box breaking levels. There are sharp things on the ground. The hiccup cola makes standing on the ground very difficult also. Once you make it to the trees, try to stay there for the rest. Wile E. West: Cartoon Strip-Mine ================================ $100,000 You must spin around the mine hitting 13 checkpoints. The only real tough area is after the 2nd checkpoint when the bridge curves left so you have to be careful not to spin off the edge and lose precious time. You will go up some areas and down some areas but always make sure to go through the checkpoint. If you miss one and go through the next one, it won't count. *NOTE* There is NO bonus game for the final level: A-maze-ment park -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= XI. FAQs ******** Q: What do you need to do to open the 2nd world in this game? I have gotten all wanted posters, sandwiches, golden sam statues. I also have found the hidden games, and have got through them. A: To access any following world from the one you are on, aside from destroying all 21 Wanted Posters for that world, you need to defeat that world's boss. To access the boss, first off, you need to leave each level out the appropriate exit point. At the bottom of each level, I have stated where you need to exit out of. This will enable a small animated cut-scene and an item from the level you just left will be added into the world hub. You need all 3 in order to finally access the boss of that world. [EX: World 1->World 2--You need to go to the elephant cage in Zooney Tunes for the elephant, exit out of Ice Burg near the frozen snow blower in the large ice sculpture for the snow blower, and go to the broken bridge with the shark sign over it in Looney Lagoon to bring back a raft (I think). Once all 3 of those things are done, you will jump into the blower which will shoot you in the air, bounce on the raft, and into the elephant to access the first boss of the game.] All 3 world's proceed in that manner. Q: What do I need to accomplish in order to finish a level? A: All you need is to destroy the 7 Wanted Posters in that level. The statue, destruction bonus, and sandwich bonus are merely added extras for cash. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= XII.
