Pokemon Puzzle League - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pokemon Puzzle League - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
TAKE NOTE that if you lose to Mewtwo, you must defeat Stage 15 (rematch with Gary) before you can challenge Mewtwo again. One final note: You can only play in 2D mode, due to the restrictions put on the AI in 3D mode. (Check the manual; it says that the AI level will always be the same in 3D mode. So, what would be the point of having progressing levels if they never get harder?) - 6. 2P Stadium ------------------------------ After reading that above section, you could probably deduce what this is. Instead of going up against a vast array of CPU opponents, you now get to fight against another human being to see just which one of you rocks harder. The same rules apply: trounce your opponent enough times to win the match. In 2P Stadium, you can choose to battle it out in a duel in one of three familiar modes: 2P Versus, Time Zone, or Spa Service. - In 2P Versus, whoever hits the top first loses the match. This is the only mode that lets you attack your opponent. There is no handicap, though in all three modes you can still set the difficulty level for both players. - In Time Zone, you both get 2 minutes to rack up as many points as you can. The higher score wins. If your stack hits the top, you lose. If you wish, you can add points to a side with the handicap feature. - In Spa Service, the first one to clear all the blocks above the clear line is the victor. Again, hitting the top is an instant KO for you. The handicap lets you set the clear line higher or lower than normal. What's great about this game mode is you get to customize the battles to your liking. You can pick from a truckload of characters from the Pokémon anime, and use their Pokémon to battle. And, yes, you can play in both 2D and 3D mode. ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- IV. SECRET CODES ============================================== WARNING!!! MAJOR SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT! If you want to discover these five codes from yourself, don't read any further! A. MARATHON: Increase Max Speed ---------------------------------------------- You receive this code after scoring very high on Marathon mode and winning an Endurance Medal. On the Puzzle League title screen, hold down Z and pres B, A, L, L on the controller. Now whenever you play Marathon, the speed will increase all the way to 99 instead of capping at 50. In this game, a speed of 99 is BLAZINGLY fast, so be prepared to call out Jigglypuff frequently. B. 1P STADIUM: Very Hard Mode ---------------------------------------------- You will get this code after finishing the Hard mode. On the 1P Stadium difficulty select screen, hold Z and tap L-L-A-B on the controller. You can now select the Very Hard difficulty. Do NOT attempt this UNLESS you can clear Hard mode without difficulty. Otherwise, you WILL get your head handed to you on a plate. I'm serious. Without the proper training, you will be yanking out locks of hair for hours on end. You will lie awake at night, wondering how the CPU could possibly be so cheap. You will be at your wit's end. You WILL go insane. ...Don't give me that look!! If you think you're so special, go ahead and TRY IT. Just don't come crying to me when you break your controller in a fit of rage. C. 1P STADIUM: Super Hard Mode ---------------------------------------------- You will get this code after finishing the Very Hard mode. On the 1P Stadium difficulty select screen, hold Z and tap R-L-A-B on the controller. You can now select the Super Hard difficulty. You thought Very Hard mode was evil? Wait until you get a load of this. Satan himself obviously laid his ugly hand on the AI for Super Hard mode. Even for a veteran like me, it takes twenty-something continues to clear this mode. My best advice is to attack with as large a chain as you possibly can as soon as a match starts. Most of the time, you can beat your opponent in under half a minute; otherwise, prepare for a long and ardurous match. D. 2P STADIUM: Access Secret Characters ---------------------------------------------- To play as any of the aforementioned characters in the 2P Stadium, you'll need two controllers, and either a friend or some VERY flexible joints. Hold down the Z button on both controllers, then press the L and R buttons on both controllers at the same time. If your timing is right, you'll be permanently allowed to access the secret characters. E. 2P STADIUM: Play Mewtwo Stage ---------------------------------------------- If you actually manage to finish Super Hard mode in 1P Stadium, you will receive this code. Fortunately, the game is nice and also calls you a Puzzle Master. I guess that's to replace the self-esteem you lost after getting horribly thrashed multiple times. On the 2P character select screen, hold down the Z button and enter the following on the controller: B, Up, L, B, A, Start, A, Up, R. (Notice how it spells out BULBASAUR. Nifty.) You'll be whisked away to the Mewtwo stage, with player 1 controlling Ash and player 2 controlling Mewtwo. Now, this is awesome. Mewtwo just plain rocks as a character. Philip Bartlett had better be getting paid some MAJOR royalty fees for this. ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- V. ET CETERA ============================================== A. REVISION HISTORY ---------------------------------------------- Rev. 1.1.0 -- February 4, 2000 - Been a looong while since the last update. Um... please don't hurt me? No, seriously, I've been busy with other things. But as my senior year in high school winds down, I think I'll be able to devote more time to the things I enjoy once again. - Fixed a typo in the Super Hard mode code. - Finished the rest of the character bios. - Fixed some little typos here and there. - There isn't much else to put in this guide, other than maybe the puzzle solutions... I finally figured out an easy Rev. 1.0.0 -- October 18, 2000 - I finally got Puzzle League! And I'm lazy! Sorry for the painfully long delay since the last update. I'll do better. (Note that I actually got Puzzle League on October 4th.) - Threw in a new Secret Codes section, since there's quite a few of them. - Added Mimic Mansion info. - Added some more Puzzle University info. - Beginning to add some miniature character bios to the Character List. - Various other tidbits. Rev. 0.3.0 -- October 2, 2000 - First of all, thanks go to Darcon and RAPJR11 for some major data, especially the character voice list and the two special codes. *salutes* - Added a special code to the 1P Stadium and 2P Stadium sections. - Corrected and filled in all the voice info in the Character List. - Spruced up the Versus Mode section. Now it's a LOT easier to read. - Added info about the useful TIME BUFFER in Versus Mode. - Fixed a few dumb little typos here and there. - I STILL don't have Puzzle League, but on the other hand, the day isn't over yet... Come on, Dad, where are you?? Rev. 0.2.0 -- September 30, 2000 - NOA decided to be sneaky and release Puzzle league on September 25th instead of the 27th. I should be getting the game by this weekend. Expect MAJOR updates come next Monday, October 2. - Added Character List. - Added Types of Play. Subsequently shifted Versus Mode info. - Ripped out the FAQ section. It's not going back in unless people SEND ME SOME QUESTIONS!!! I can't emphasize that enough. - Other little odds and ends. Rev. 0.1.0 -- September 22, 2000 - Pre-release information on Puzzle League. Obviously, this guide is nowhere near complete. B. THANKS ---------------------------------------------- For lack of a better term, "props" to the following: - Nintendo > for actually making this game in the first place. - All the regulars at the RPGamer Pokémon Forum > for being very cool to hang with. Word. - Jeremy Parish (aka Toasyfrog) > for inspiring this FAQ format. He used to have a 1337 Chrono Cross FAQ that was awfully popular, but he hates himself so he discontinued it. - Patrick Clancy (aka Darcon) > for compiling a list of character voices. > for listing the battle sequences for 1P Stadium. > for providing the Secret Characters code. - Richard Price Jr. (aka RAPJR11) > for revealing that the Spa Service houses both 2D and 3D levels. > for explaining some of the features of Puzzle University. > for providing the 1P Stadium Very Hard Mode code. - Anyone I was dumb enough not to mention > for giving me the same information I already discovered, but thanks for your time and effort anyway.
