DOJO DAN
FULL MANUAL....SUPPLIED BY I.C.C.
TYPED BY POB...>>>LOONS<<<
DOJO DAN THE TELLING OF A TALE....
Dan suspected something vile and deeply despicable was creeping
over the land of Banzaari.Call him paranoid,but when the skies blackened
and all manner of indescribable wild and wicked creatures began to ravage
the once tranquil land,Dan had a strange gut feeling.
The rest of the civilised folk also knew life wasnt quite going as smooth
as it should.Elders and officials gathered for emergency meetings.
After days of intimate discussion behind closed,doors a plan was unveiled...
And that is how the annual dojo trials were formed.Martial arts students
would flock from the remotest corners of Banzaari to enter into combat
with each other.The one who emerged victorious would have the rather,
dubious honour of tackling the source of this overwhelming dark force:
VALROG, KING OF ALL THINGS EVIL.
As this year's proud and, it has to be said, fashion conscious winner
of the dojo trials, you take the roll of high kicking, thumping, pyjama
parading Dan. pick your bottom lip up off the floor, gather your thoughs,
and prepare for the perilous adventure of a lifetime. Boldly strut forth to
the slaughter, like no other karate champ has done before. Maybe you can
muster just a smattering of confidence-Hey, Valrog can't be brutal,
merciless tyrant he's portrayed to be the surname K...A...T...E can he!!!
THE CHALLENGES
Along the way, your skills will be tested to their very limits. Tackle
hover boarding, car driving, flying and logic problem solving. Offering
a thin tether of assistance are magic pots wich have been left behind by
previous village champions on 6their voyage to destroy Valrog. These will
give you extra strength and energy, and may even revive a life. However,
some have been discovered and sabotaged by Valrog's creatures, and now
contain deathly potions - consume these at your peril. And so your
journey begins...
GAME PLAY
You must control Dan as he passes through the lands infested by Valrog's
mutants. Battle your way through 20 gruelling cantons to finally pit your
strength against Valrog. There are 4 cantons within each of the five sections
, you must complete the sections in order. You can choose the order of the
four cantons within each section. Bear in mind that you may find a certain
order preferable, due to the various 'pick ups' which may help you in the
other cantons.
Your formidable adversary has asigned a number of powerful gaurdians to
oversee each region Banzaari; all must be destroyed before Valrog can be
reached. Using your fighting and acrobatic skills, together with the wisdom
to solve problems, Strive to defeat the many minions along your perilous
route to the mighty Valrog.
There are several items along the way that you must collect to build your
strength. These will considerably improve your prospects in ridding Banzaari
of the even more power of the minions of Valrog. Discover power pods(in the
shape of a bent arm) to increase your resistance to the enemy. There are also
a number of extra lives scatterd around the land. Both pods and lives are
held inside magic pots that have been left behind by previous villagers on
their trek to Valrog's domain. see the section on pick ups further on.....
As each creature is destroyed, they release an inner strength in the shape of
Yin Yangs. Collect these to replenish your own energy and build up your Chi.
Once your chi reaches it's maximum, you will be capable of unbelivevable
feats of valour as you release your inner hatred in the form of a crunching
thunder punch. This fighting bonus lasts for the lenght of time it takes the
meter to deplete.
Around the magical lands are hidden rooms. In these sub games, you must
rescue souls of imprisioned villagers from the cages they are held in. An
evil spirit torments these souls by prodding them with a big stick till they
fall of the ledges. You must break open there cages to set there souls free.
If you rescue enough of them in the given time pereiod, expect a generous
reward...
It pays to explore the lands in full, as a direct approach will certainly
result in failure to complete the journey.
To complete each canton, you must defeat the gaurdian of that region. Each
of these has a specific weakness- find it if you can. They die in a hail of
bonuses so catch as many as possible to boost your score.
Once you have reached the final section, your choice of sections to explore
is taken away and you must play the cantons in sequence. Confront the evil
Valrog in the very last region, where you must defeat him to free Banzaari
once and for all.
