---------
7) Bosses
---------

A note on Impact Bosses (Except the Peach BattleShip): If you use the 
same attacks over and over, they will be able to block it! So it's a 
good idea to mix it up a bit. 

In order of apperance...

Boss # 1: The King Robot - Congo
Type: Normal
Driven By: Baron
Description: A large bust (i.e. A giant stone head) that is red! It 
takes up nearly the entire room! 

Attacks: It will pause for a few seconds, and then it will spew fire. 
Run around the room to avoid! Then it will shoot some kind of acid 
lasers out of it's guns and twirl around the room. Either run with it, 
or jump over the beams as they come.     

To destroy: When the red spot on it's chin is facing you, smack it with 
your staff! Just keep tapping the attack button! If you have a lot of 
money, I suggest using Goemon's Ryo; it has a higher firing rate. 

Total Hits Until Destoryed: About 60

Boss # 2: The Wartime Kabuki Robot - Kassiwagi
Type: Impact Boss
Driven By: Baron
Description: It has rockets for lift, four missile launchers on it's 
back, a head, and two arms. And a chinese-like face...

Attacks: He doesn't seem to follow any pattern, so I made a list.

1) It will fire missiles at you, use Nasal Bullets or Quick Punches to 
destroy

2) It will charge, firsts first, at you. Very damaging! Punch him before 
he hits, or use the Laser Mouth.

3) When his energy gets near 1000, he will create a purple copy of 
himself and it will try to punch you (Which really hurts). Follow him 
with your control stick, and when he stops, do a Fierce Punch! Good time 
to use Laser Mouth, as well. 

4) He will fly away and create large flying saucers to come attack you. 
While he's flying away, try to grapple him! If that fails then just 
punch the saucers, or use Nasal Bullets.

5) He'll come at you with his fist, changed red, and try to knock you 
over. VERY powerful. Use the Laser Mouth, because he isn't dodging!  

Energy: 2000

Boss # 3: Mind Control Robot
Type: Normal
Driven By: Colon
Description: A spinning top with eyes!

Attacks: Well, he'll shoot a lot of balls at you, pause for a few 
seconds, and then do it again. Be careful, because the Dragon is swaying 
back and fourth and it's easy to fall off!

To Defeat: Just use Goemon's Chain Pipe when he pauses!

Total Hits until Destroyed: 6

________________________________________________________________________
____
Boss # 4: The Surrender Robot - Dharmanyo 
Type: Normal
Driven By: Colon
Description: Well...A red robot with white, pupil-less eyes, a mustache 
of sorts, long arms with claws, and some mean lookin' legs! :) He looks 
about 15 feet tall.

Attacks: He doesn't follow a strict pattern, but you can usually predict 
what he'll do next. 

1) He'll fire three balls, one at a time, at you. When they land they 
give off a very large explosion. 

2) He'll pause, to show you his Heart, and then jump and almost land on 
you.  Then he'll take a swipe at you with his really long arms.

3) He'll jump around like a mad-man!

To Defeat: Well, the first thing you MUST do is take a picture with the 
Wind-Up Camera! This will reveal his Heart, which is the target. When he 
becomes clear, and it shows it, hit it somehow! If you have lots of 
money, use Goemon's Medal of Flames, because this does more damage than 
any other weapon, plus you don't have to get close! Or, if you're low on 
funds, you could always use his Chain Pipe.

Total Hits until Destoryed: About 12

Boss # 5: The Ghost Robot - Tsurami 
Type: Normal
Driven By: Sharon
Description: A Genie Ghost Robot...well, that's the best I could come up 
with! :) You have to see it to believe.

Attacks: It has three phases.

Phase 1: It will toss three sets of plates at you. The fourth set will 
be red. Hit it and it will go back to the Robot and damage it! After 
three hits it will move on to the next phase.

Phase 2: This time she gets a bit more excited; there will be a barrage 
of plates being tosses at you, just run away! At the end some red plates 
will come, hit them back and it will damage her. After three hits it 
will move on to the next phase.

Phase 3: Now she's pissed! After a little dance, plates will just rain 
down everywhere, and they explode on conact with the ground! The 
explosions are large, and very difficult to avoid. At the end some red 
plates will be thrown at you, hit them back and it'll be damaged. After 
three more hits the robot will be defeated.

To Defeat: At the end of each attack, she will throw two homing red 
plates. Now, simply jump up (Don't do anything with the Control Stick or 
you might get hit) and attack them! They'll go flying back and hit her 
in the face! 

Total Hits until Destroyed: 12

Boss # 6: The Charming Mermaid - Thaisamba 2 
Type: Impact Boss
Driven By: "The Mighty" Polon
Description: A big red robot fish! The neat thing about this robot is 
that she can't block attacks, so you can use the same moves on her over, 
and over and over...!

Attacks: First she (I think it's a she) will drop out of the water, much 
like a whale. This is the perfect time to grapple her; at least if you 
have good aim. If you let her go one, she'll toss some mines at you, 
then get in your face and give you a good smack! When her energy gets 
near 1000 the battle will go underwater...

Now this part can be a bit tough, so pay attention! The view is very 
blurry, and you can barely see 10 feet in front of you (What did you 
expect? You're like 200 feet beneathe the water!).  When she goes out of 
your view, keep your eye on the radar (It would be the red arrow, and 
you're the yellow one). She'll try to bang into you, which is the 
perfect time to use the Laser Mouth. Her special attack is the Cyclone, 
which is very furstrating. Now you can't see anything except blue! And 
now she rolls out some very bad attacks...Again, keep your eye on the 
radar, because she will attack you with her eyeball, just punch! Another 
great time to use Laser Mouth is when she's preparing the Cyclone 
attack, or when she's coming in for a punch. She also has a fake out, 
where she'll charge at you from one direction, and then suddenly, at 
thelast possible second, change directions and hit you!

Energy: 2000

Boss # 6: The Great Peach Mountain Battleship - Balberra 
Type: Impact Boss
Driven By: ???
Description: A giant, peach shaped UFO. In the center is a large, red 
ball, and to the sides are three cannons. At the bottom is a large metal 
machine, and to the sides of the UFO are two leaves.

Attacks:

1) It will fire bombs through it's cannons.

2) One of the leaves, or the metal machine, will fire a lot of balls at 
you. Very dangerous. Great time to get Nasal Bullets, though.

3) The Red Ball is actually the "Instant Stage Beam" that Baron was 
talking about. It will charge up and shoot GIANT balls of energy at you, 
punch them! Each hit takes 50 damage!

4) It will unleash a few Peach Ships, which are small peach shaped 
spaceships that shoot balls at you. Destory them all.

To Defeat: Destory all of the parts: The cannons, two leaves, the 
machine under it, and the Instant Stage Beam (Which should be the first 
to go). After that it will send a few ships after you, destroy them all 
and the Ship will open up to reveal it's core; DROP EVERYTHING AND FIRE 
AT IT! This is the only way to damage it! If you're a good aim, you 
could easiley destory this ship with the Laser Mouth. If not, use tons 
of Nasal Bullets. 

Energy: 1000

Boss # 7: The Fairy of Love and Dreams - D'Etoile
Type: Impact Boss
Driven By: Spring Breeze Dancin' and Kitty Lily
Description: A large robot with a mask of black and blue, yellow eyes, 
and a tail instead of legs. 

Attacks: It doesn't follow any sort of pattern, so here's a list.

1) The roll attack is where he will go off into space and just roll 
right into you at a blinding speed! Almost impossible to avoid, it will 
cost you 50 in Oil, which is NOT good. The only way to avoid it is use a 
Fierce Punch, but it has to be timed JUST right.

2) He'll spin across the screen leaving a trail of balls which are going 
to hit you unless you hit them first. If they all hit you you take on 
about 250 points of damage. 

3) He'll disappear and return somewhere else, then he'll smack you with 
his tail; very painful! Check your radar if you can't find him.

4) He'll spit balls at you, one at a time.

5) He just charges with his shield, use a punch

6) He'll disappear, and come back somewhere else just to charge at you.

7) When his energy gets near 700, he'll do this little trick: He'll be 
in the middle of the screen, stationary and invunerable, and large 
asteroids will come towards you. Either use the Mouth Laser on him (You 
won't be damaged AND it's easy to aim since he's not moving) or use the 
Fierce Punch on the asteroids!

Energy: 2000

This is DIRECTLY from the N64 Code Center (www.n64cc.com), so don't sue, 
ok? :)

___start____ 


Slow Fall
By: Robert Slack (lslack@wolfenet.com) 

To make Goemon or Sasuke fall at a much slower rate than normal first 
get to a high place such as
the top of Mt. Fuji or the top of the inside of the Yamato Shrine, then 
equip your self with Sasuke's
ice attack or Goemons coin throw and jump off. While in the air press 
the B button as fast as
posible. This trick works best with Goemon instead of Sasuke because he 
attacks faster. 



Extra Songs in Sound Test
By: Michaelthom@webtv.net 

IGN say's you have to beat the game to do this. All you do is go the 
first Impact Battle and save it.
You don't even have to beat the robot! Go to sound test, and the Impact 
song will already be there.
As for the song "Gorgeus my stage" you have to do a little work. Get to 
the very end of the game to
the part that they have the little play using the stage song. At the 
end, right before you summon
Impact for the last time, you will of the option of saving. if you do, 
press reset and go to sound test.
"Gorgeus my Stage" saved on there! You DON'T have to beat the game to 
get the extra songs. 



Jumping without landing
By: Michael Foster 

This is a little trick you can do to jump from high places and not have 
to stop to land. First, you have
to find a high place to jump from. Next, get any character and be ready 
to jump. Then , JUMP.
Finally, in the middle of the air hit the B button at least once. When 
you hit the ground, you should
be standing up, not stopping to land. This trick is very helpful when 
there are many enemies on the
ground and you don't want to stop to get hit. Also, this trick can 
lessen the splash in the water if you
are high enough. 



Glitchy Room
By: Eiksirf (eiksirf@warwick.net) 

In the underwater submarine, swim up to the spinning blade in the first 
room. Swim past the exit in
the ceiling. Now head straight up. Eventually you will pass through the 
ceiling and will not be able to
get down. You can move around in a little cube of water, but can only 
see what is around you. 



Yae's Blade Shield
By: Eiksirf (eiksirf@warwick.net) 

After getting the upgrade to level 2, take out Yae's sword. Hold down 
the B button and eventually
she will spin her blade around. There is a way to move in this position 
(See corect code below.). 



Big Boss Fighting Mode
By: Robert Slack (lslack@wolfenet.com) 

To access the Consecutive Fighting! Large Boss Mode, first get all of 
the 45 Fortune Dolls and
then beat the game. After you do this a new option will appear in the 
options menu allowing you to
fight all of the Goemon Impact bosses in consecutive order. 



Mini-Ebisu Glitch
By: Max Bitter (Maxtendo64@aol.com) 

To do this, you must first do the following two things: 

   1.Pass the Golden Temple challenge in Zazen Town to receive 
Ebisumaru's magic power of
     shrinking and 
   2.Defeat the dragon boss to obtain Koryota's flute. 

Then use the flute to warp to one of the two "tourist centers" (the 
buildings with the teleport
machines in them-one is in Follypoke, the other on Kii/Awaja Beach) and 
enter it. Switch to
Ebisumaru to activate the shrinking power. Now talk to the woman in 
front of the machine. Pay her
10 ryo to go in the machine. If done right, you will walk up to it in 
shrinked form-but will not enter!
Mini-Ebisu will not be able to enter it but will jump at it repeatedly. 
It will take off as if he had
entered it! However, when it arrives at the other tourist center's 
machine, you will walk out back in
normal form! Pretty weird..... 



Festival Village Glitch
By: siston1@viconet.com 

In the Festival Village, go to the Stairs that lead you to all of the 
people near the man with the drum.
Go up at least two stairs and then jump off the right side. Your 
character will go flying in what seems
to be outer space. Eventually you will die. This glitch is not much, but 
it is kind of cool. 



Ninjitsu 360ø Blade Slash
By: Jaime Wilkins 

Rapidly rotate the control stick in a 360ø motion while rapidly taping 
the B button. This produces a
Ninjitsu 360ø Blade Slash that will kill all the enemies around you. 



Infinite Money Glitch #2
By: sLipDog 

First, go to the top of Mt. Fuji and get the chain pipe. Go to the gate 
of Oedo Castle and swing
across. Enter the first room of the castle and there should be six pots. 
Break the pots and inside are
four coins each accounting for five ryos. Go out and back in. The pots 
will be back with the money
in them. This way you get 120 ryo each time you go back in. 



Hidden Store
By: Max Bitter (Maxtendo64@aol.com) 

First you must have Yae's mermaid power, which you get by passing the 
Waterfall of Kegon
challenge in Uzen Tunnel. Then go back to Festival Village. Go to its 
main shopping district (the one
with the pond) and switch to Yae. Jump in the pond and press C-Up to 
activate her power. Now
look for an underwater tunnel in the pond. Swim through it to reach 
another area. There is a special
store where you can buy Gold Helmets (250 ryo), Gold Armor (350 ryo) and 
extra lives (500 ryo).



Extra Lives
By: Max Bitter (Maxtendo64@aol.com) 

Hidden throughout Japan are several extra lives just waiting to be 
found...... First, look behind the
coffee shop near the dragon boss. Next, head to Yamato and use the 
Turtle Stone's power of the
North to open up the Shrine. Enter it and climb to the top for another 
extra life. Head now to
Follypoke's general store, they can be bought for 500 ryo each. You can 
also head to the hidden
general store and buy them there (see above). Next, go to the Japan Sea 
and look around near the
sub for another life. Finally, enter the Gourmet Submarine and get to 
the room with the hidden path
that Ebisumaru must find with the camera. Cross that to enter a room 
with another life in it; get it by
climbing the wooden stairs and proceed along the narrow path that goes 
around the room. Those
are all the hidden ones that I found - there could be more.... 



Exorcist Impact
By: Christopher Ganir via IGN64.com 

At the end of the Impact cinema sequence, you can rotate Impact's head 
with the control stick.
Wait until it shows Impact's full body with the yellow and orange 
stripes, and then use the control
stick to turn his head Exorcist style! 



Infinite Money Glitch
By: Ryan C (rcorb@nac.net) 

When you first start out you should be able to go to this place where a 
board is floating which has 3
ryu (money). To be able to get more money there go through the door 
where the two guards are,
then return to the place where the money is and you the 3 more ryu will 
be there, and it works all
the time. 



Walk in Air Glitch
By: Chris Adams (BomberMa64@aol.com) 

On your way to Oedo castle you'll enter a double door. When you come to 
the other side of the
door you will see a sign in the middle of the screen. There will also be 
a fence behind it. Go over to
the fence and jump on it. If you are on the fence the character will 
start to wabble like he/she is
going to fall, but they won't. Slowly walk to the back of the sign still 
on the fence. Face away from
the sign, Jump torward the sign while holding the A button. You may have 
to do this a couple of
times before he/she will go up into the sky like they are on ground. You 
can go through doors while
in the air. 


Blade-Shield Usage
By: TheN64Fan

When Yae uses her blade-shield, she normally can't move. However, if you 
have the armor or
shield and receive damage from an enemy when using the blade-shield, you 
can move. 



Unchangeable Hair Color
By: TheN64Fan

In the middle of using Goemon's touch-and-go skills, get killed by an 
enemy (if you have more than
one life). If you do this, you will come to life again with golden hair. 
However, if you want to change
the character, you can't change the hair color. 


___End____

And something not mentioned: If you collect all 45 Fortune Dolls you 
will get a new option in the Options menu: Here you can battle all of 
the Impact Bosses! If you defeat them all, you get a little art from the 
designers. Nice, huh?
