2) Characters/Weapons/Magic Powers

Note : If a weapon has a "*" beside it, it can be upgraded to level 2
and level 3.

Goemon
 The hero of the game, Goemon's only character flaw is his tendency to
lose his temper and get into fights. On the request of the King of Oedo
Town, he sets off to find out who and what is behind the mysterious
organization threatening to take over Japan.

Where Found - You start out him

Weapons -
*Pipe :
Goemon starts out with the Pipe. It's great for up-close combat.

Chain Pipe :
You get this from the Pipe Maker on Mt. Fuji. Like the Hookshot from
Zelda, it can hook on the Star Boxes (Well, that is somewhat like
Zelda). Best use for defeating baddies from a little distance.

Ryo :
You can throw Ryo to attack. The ideal weapon for long-distance
fighting. Of course, each time you throw it, it will cost 1 Ryo.

Flaming Ryo :
Once you have donated 5 Ryo to the chest at Kompira Mt., you shall
recieve the Medal of Flames. Instead of just throwing some Ryo, charge
it up. You will throw a Ryo surrounded by flames. It costs 3 Ryo to do
this attack. The Flaming Ryo does x2 the amount of damage as a regular
Ryo.

Magic Power - Sudden Impact :
With the need of 10 Ryo, it allows you to increase your power. Besides
it turning Goemon's blue hair to gold, his attack power doubles, but
beware you absorb x2 the amount of damage from an enemy.

Ebisumaru
 A self-styled "Ninja of Justice" who does things his own way and in his
own good time. Settling down in Edo, he now lives with Goemon.

Where Found - You start out with him

Weapons -
*Saw-Hammer :
Ebisumaru starts out with this wooden hammer.

Meat Saw-Hammer :
One of the best weapons in the entire game! You can find this weapon in
Festival Temple Castle. Just about everytime you defeat a baddie, you
can usually get a heart-restoring Dumpling.

Windup Camera :
You can find this strange camera in Ghost Toys Castle from the Crane
Game. When it is used, it will reveal hidden paths, items, and it makes
the ghosts solid so they can be killed.

Magic Power - Mini- Ebisu :
This power shrinks Ebisumaru, allowing him to go through small doors and
such. You cannot attack while in small form.

Sasuke
 A mechanical ninja created by an Iga Wiseman. A tough cookie with a
trusting soul, Sasuke loves hot baths and Japanese green tea. I think,
overall, he is the best fighter. =)

Where Found - Zazen Town, from Benkei

Batteries -
#1 :
Where - Inaba Dune
How to get it - Go to the lake, the battery will be in the center of it
#2 :
Where - The Lake With The Large Tree (I think that is what it's called)
How to get it - Use the Windup Camera in the tree, then the battery will
appear on top of it.

Weapons -
*Kunai :
Sasuke starts out with the Kunai blade.

Fire Cracker Bomb :
The mechanical ninja starts out with this bomb. Using this bomb on
cracked doors, they will open up.

Hair Attack :
No, it's not a weapon. From the start, Sasuke can do this attack by
holding down B, then pressing Z. Good for atacking enemies that are
above you . Also, if you are lying down on the ground and do this, you
will attack forward.

Kunai of Severe Cold :
One nifty weapon. Found in Festival Temple Castle. It freezes enemies
and some hot floors. But the effect is only temporary. Great for long
distance attacks. Everytime you use this weapon, it costs 1 Ryo. If you
charge it up, it will fire the Kunai Intense Hail Beam which fires 3
shots of the freezing sword. That costs 3 Ryo.

Magic Power - Super Jump :
Using the Super Jump allows Sasuke to get to high places you could not
access by jumping regularly. It's good for dodging incoming attacks,
too.

Yae
 A secret ninja agent who investigates the toughest cases of all, Yae is
like an older sister to Goemon and co.

Where Found - Zazen Town

Weapons -
*Katana :
Yae starts out with this Japanese blade. Once upgraded to Level 2, she
can "create" a shield from the sword by holding down B.

Koryuta's Flute :
You get this special flute from Koryuta, once you have destroyed the
Mind-Control Robot when he was in dragon form. This flute allows to you
visit just about anywhere you've been. You can use it in some buildings,
wonder why it said you can't. I used in the Yamato Shrine and one cave
and it still worked.

Yae Bazooka :
You get this bazooka from Gourmet Submarine Castle. Probably the best
long distance attacking weapon. When fired, it uses 1 Ryo. Charge it up,
it will do a "lock-on" attack. When that is fired, any enemy in a target
will usually be hit. That costs 3 Ryo.

Magic Power - Mermaid :
While on top of the water, using this will turn Yae into a mermaid. You
are now able to swim under the water to reach items like a Fortune Doll
and other things.

Goemon Impact
 A gigantic robot who is an invaluable ally to Goemon and his pals.
Already a successful dancer, Impact has now set his heart on becoming a
movie star.

Where Found - Call him with the Triton Shell from Wise Man's House.

Moves & Controls -
A : Quick Punch, fast but weak attack.
B : Fierce Punch, slow but strong attack.
Z : Fires Nasal Bullets, cost 1 Ryo for each time fired.
R : Uses Chain Pipe, drag in the boss and whack him!
Guard : C- Left, C-Left or C-Right, C-Right, puts Impact in defense
mode, you still can be damaged but not as much.
Laser Mouth : C-Buttons clockwise, Z or C-Buttons counter-clockwise, Z.
You can attack only when the gauge is flashing. Best attack, but it's
the hardest to perform at times. =(

punches VERY rapidly.
Punch-Kick : B, B, B, A

be a little off.

Quick Punch : 30 points
Fierce Punch : 80 points
Chain Pipe : 20 points
Laser Mouth : 400 points
One-Two Punch : 140 points

4) Bosses/Impact Bosses

Here, I'll tell you about the bosses and how to beat them. Here is a
neat trick for the Impact Bosses, when you fire the Laser Beam, you
won't be harmed. Not any kind of attack will harm you!

Boss #1- Congo : The King Robot
The easy way to beat the giant head is stand under his chin. Keep
attacking the front because that is the only spot he is vunerable. When
there is an explosion, chunks of his head will be destroyed. Be careful
though, when the explosive comes, he fire a beam that I call "Glitter
Beam". If you stand in front when he explodes, chances are you will get
hit by the beam.

Impact Boss #1- Kashiwagi : The Wartime Kabuki Robot
Here is when you need to know the manevers for Impact. I hook him with
the Chain Pipe and punch him when I drag him in, a lot. Don't do the
same moves over and over because he will predict what you will do and
block it. Here is my little combo I do that does about 520 points of
damage : Drag him in with the Chain Pipe, knock him on the ground, then
while he is on the ground, fire the Impact Laser. It will still hit him
even though he is on the ground. His special attack is making a copy of
himself. The copy will attack you, but the real one won't. Here is
another cool combo that does about 770 points. Drag him in, and do the
Super Punch + Kick on him. Then when he is on the ground, fire the laser
beam on him.

Boss #2- Mind-Control Robot
Not really a boss, but it kinda is. You can only attack him when he
isn't spinning. When he isn't attack him with Ryo. I'd rather use Ryo
because I might fall off the dragon. I found a strange glitch here. When
I was hit by him, Goemon appear the whole way to the right off the
dragon. So then I had to go back to the robot. When this guy spins, he
fires those metal balls at you at a decent, medium speed.

Boss #3- Dharmanyo : The Surrender Robot
That name doesn't fit this easy robot. He should be the one
surrendering. Anyway, use the Windup Camera to reveal his weakpoint.
Then when he is "clear", fire the Medal of Flames at the spot. Keep
repeating until he is dead. He will fire bombs at you, but keep on
running at full speed to avoid them.

Boss #4- Tsurami : The Ghost Robot
One of more harder bosses. Just keep hitting him with the so-called "red
plates". He has 3 attack methods, here they are :
#1 : Easy. Throws plates at a medium rate.
#2 : He throws plates at a much faster rate.
#3 : HARD!!! He throws plates in all directions, but when they hit the
ground they explode.
You need to hit 4 times in each form of attack.

Impact Boss #2 - Thaisamba 2 : The Charming Mermaid
Now this battle takes place on the water. Not that much different from
the another boss. The special attack is a "tornado" of water. You view
from the cockpit is blurry. She will hit you with those exploding balls
again. Then she will pop up and hit you with her eyeball (at least,
that's what it looks like). Once the mermaid has her energy level close
to 1,000 the battle will go underwater. Then she will charge at full
speed at you, just do a fierce punch on her and it will knock her on the
oceanfloor. =) Then she has a "fake" attack. She will charge you from
one direction, but at the last second she will move into another
direction. Then she will attack you. The good thing for this boss is
that she can't block your attacks, so you can do the same moves over and
over.

Impact Boss #3 - Balberra : The Great Peach Mountain Battleship
The only boss you can't drag in and punch. Destroy the guns, leaves and
all of the little things on the ship. The Peach Fighters will try to
shoot you, but you know how to take "care" of them. When the battleship
opens, it reveals its "core". Shoot that core to damage it. It only
opens when you destroy the Peach Fighters. Every hit with a Nasal Bullet
does 5 points damage. A hit from the Chain Pipe will do 20 points
damage.

Impact Boss #4 - D 'Etoile : The Fairy of Love and Dreams
The hardest Impact Boss in the game! One of his best attacks is what I
call the Roller Attack. If you get hit, it does about 50 points damage.
This attack is almost unavoidable! But there is one way to avoid with
ease. Use fierce punch before he hits you. Don't do this too early or
too late because it won't work. He spins around and fires those
explosive balls at you. Then he has his asteroid attack. Easy to avoid.
Use the fierce punch on each asteroid to blow it up. If you use quick
punch, you won't be able to destroy it in time. When he fires the
explosive balls at you he fires them at two speeds. #1 : He shoots them
one at a time. #2 : This one he spins to one side. While going to the
other side, there will be a bunch of balls coming at you. Shoot them
with the bullets instead of punching.
