1. Introduction
Hi, and welcome to my Star Fox Adventures FAQ!  This FAQ is meant to
provide you with full strategies on conquering this, the final
masterpiece from Rare to Nintendo.  In this game, Team Star Fox answers
a distress call from Dinosaur Planet, and it's up to Fox to get down
there and stop the planet from tearing itself apart.
************************************************************************
2. FAQ
Q: What is Star Fox Adventures?
A: SFA is an action-adventure game, with just a little bit of flight
sim.  It comes to us from Rare and Nintendo.
Q: Why is Fox starring in this game?  Didn't it used to be Dinosaur
Planet?
A: Yes, this was originally intended to be released on the N64, starring
a furry guy named Sabre.  Nintendo wanted to make a Star Fox game that
wouldn't focus so much on flying.  Rare and Nintendo mutually decided to
introduce Fox into this world.  The transition actually goes pretty
smoothly.
Q: Is this really the last game from Rare for a Nintendo system?  What
are your thoughts on Rare, now?
A: Yes, Nintendo has sold its shares in Rare back to Rare, and Microsoft
has taken them up.  My feelings?  Well, although I will definitely
miss Rare, business is business, and I definitely see Nintendo's
reasons for letting them go.
Q: What do I do with Cheat Tokens?
A: Go talk to the WarpStone and ask to go to the Game Well Maze.  Find
your way to the center and you'll find a well to drop the Token in.  If
it gives you a "Cheat Activated" message, go to the Main Menu and
look around for something new.
Q: How do I get back into LightFoot Village?
A: There are three trees with targets on them.  Hit the target closest
to the gate, then the one furthest, then the middle one.
Q: Why can't I go back to other areas after I get to the Krazoa Palace
for the final time?
A: Rare's sadism?  I dunno.  If you wish to return to the planet and
do more stuff (or fly the Arwing missions), you must make your final
save no later than earning the fifth Krazoa Spirit.  Once you get that
Krazoa Spirit, you're past the point of no return.
Q: I've only got 99%!  Where's the 100th percent?
A: Percentage of the game doesn't count secret stuff, just actual events
in the game.  As the latest you can save is before (or during) fighting
the last boss, the last percent point is obviously the defeat of the
final boss.
************************************************************************
3. Controls, Menus, and Basics
======================================
Controls:
Standard:
Control Stick: This controls your character's movement, and their
aiming when using a ranged weapon.
A Button: Generic action button.  This attacks, examines things that
have an "A" floating above them, and selects things from menus.  In
the top right corner of the screen, you'll often see a description near
the A button for what it does, specifically.
B Button: Cancel Button.  This puts away your weapon, and cancels
selections from menus.
X Button: Evasion Button.  Without a weapon, this is a forward roll.
When in combat, it's a series of different flips and rolls.
Y Button: Quick Inventory.  When in your C-Stick Inventory, press Y to
select an item for later use.  Once you've selected the item, press Y
and you'll use it without going into inventory.
Control Pad: PDA Display.  This switches the function of Fox's Personal
Data Assistant, in the lower left corner of the screen.  It toggles
between maps, general area information, and a compass that seeks out
Fuel Cells.
L Button: Pressing the L Button will center the camera behind your
character.  Holding it down all the way will keep your view focused
straight ahead, and allow you to sidestep.
R Button: Defend Button.  If you have the staff, this will generate a
force field when not in combat, and will be a simple block while in
combat.
Z Button: First-Person.  This will bring the camera into your
character's eyes.  Move the Control Stick to look around.  If you've
picked up the Hi-Def Display, you can use the C-Stick to zoom in and
out.
C-Stick: Inventory.  Left and right will cycle through the three
inventories: Weapon (yellow), Sidekick (blue), and Item (red).  Up and
down will scroll through all the items in those lists.  Select one to
use with A, or save it with Y for later use.
START Button: Pause Button.  In addition to stopping the frenetic
action, you can also chat with General Pepper, Slippy, Peppy, or save
your game.
Arwing:
Control Stick: Moves the Arwing around in the corridor.  Like old Star
Fox games, the Arwing is always flying straight ahead, and you can only
re-orient yourself in the corridor, not turn around.
A Button: Fire lasers.
B Button: Fire bombs.  Hit again to detonate prematurely.
Y Button: Boost.  Hold for a burst of speed.
X Button: Brake.  Hold to slow down.
L/R Buttons: Roll.  This tilts your Arwing on its side.  Click the button
all the way to perform a barrel roll, which creates a small shield
that'll make you resistant to damage for a second.
START Button: Pause and Communicator.
======================================
Menus:
---
Main Menu: On the title screen, pushing Left and Right will allow you
to focus on different members of Star Fox.  Fox covers jumping into the
game and erasing save files.  Peppy covers options: widescreen and
rumble.  Slippy covers the audio volumes.  ROB covers the subtitles in
cutscenes.
---
In-Game Menus:
General Pepper: This is your basic inventory count.  On the front side
are all the major items you've collected, as well as your status in
health and power.  Tapping the C-Stick will allow you to see what
special items you've picked up.
Peppy Hare: This is the map section of the comm.  On the front, you'll
see a full map of Dinosaur Planet, and you'll be able to look at all
areas visited.  The area where you have something to do next has a
special mark.  Using the C-Stick will show you the other side, where you
can see what maps you've collected.
Slippy Toad: Slippy's always watching, and on hand to offer advice.  If
you've no clue what to do next, chances are the Slipster has a good
hint for you.
======================================
Basic Tips:
Don't forget about Slippy.  His information is actually quite invaluable.
You should definitely have a chat with him if you don't know what to do
next.
This may go without saying, but like most Rare games, it defintely is
worth it to you to explore every nook and cranny.  When you get new
abilities, poke around for places to use them, as there undoubtedly will
be.
Combat is actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it (to the
point of tedium, especially when fighting basic Sharpclaws).  I've found
that there are three different types of combos: leaving the Control
Stick neutral (multi-kick), holding Down while tapping A (spin and
charge), and holding any other direction while tapping A (jump slash).
Please correct me if this isn't the case.  The heart above your enemy's
head is its life, so you can watch yourself whittle him down.
There are also special moves you can pull out of dodging.  If you roll
forward and attack, you'll do a jump-slash.  Attack again to do a
spinning jump slash.  If you roll to the left or right and attack,
you'll do a low sweep.  The sweep is devastating against a Grunt that
has been doubled up.
Note the locations of boxes that hold health-restoring items and Magic
Plants.  They do regenerate after time, so exploit that fact.
The only thing that will cause you to officially pass out is for your
energy to be depleted.  Long falls into "nothingness" will not kill you
at all.  Instead, they deposit you back at the beginning of the area
with the drop, and everything you had done between that and falling is
reset.
That's all I've got for now.  Anyone with any more ideas can submit
them.
************************************************************************
4. Characters
======================================
Main Characters:
Fox McCloud: Savior of the Lylat System, Fox hasn't been doing much
since his victory over Andross eight years ago.  This new mission to
Dinosaur Planet could well justify his standard fee.
Krystal: A young lady from Cerinia, Krystal is also answering the
distress call on Dinosaur Planet.  She's armed with her staff and a
wealth of magical powers.
Tricky: Fox's sidekick throughout the game, Tricky is the Crown Prince
of the Earthwalker Tribe.  He'll be able to lend a hand in exploration,
if you've got enough of his favorite food.
======================================
Supporting Characters:
Peppy Hare: Having retired from active duty, Peppy hangs on with Star
Fox as their tactics advisor.
Slippy Toad: Ever the tinkerer, Slippy signed on with R&D in Corneria
recently, but is still helping out Star Fox whenever he gets the
chance.  His recent contribution was a jukebox to the Great Fox.
ROB the Robot: Slippy's been constantly upgrading ROB to the point where
he's now a valued member of the team, as opposed to just an AI for
Great Fox.
General Pepper: The commander-in-chief of the Cornerian armed forces,
Pepper sometimes calls on Star Fox for help in dangerous situations.
General Scales: This tyrant and his Sharpclaw tribe were rejected from
society by the more peace-loving tribes.  He's currently massing an
army to take over Dinosaur Planet for his own ends.
Warpstone: A being of living rock, this giant does exactly what his
name implies; he magically transports our heroes to new locales.
======================================
Tribes on Dinosaur Planet:
EarthWalker: One of the two ruling tribes on DP, these most resemble
Earth's Triceratops.  They're fast, strong, and wise.
ThornTail: These are one of the more peaceful tribes, living in
Thorntail Hollow and protecting the Warpstone.
LightFoot: Resembling Earth's Velociraptors, this spiritual tribe has
become more suspicious with the growing Sharpclaw infestation.
CloudRunner: The other of the two ruling tribes are related to Earth's
Pterodactyl or Pterandon.  They're a proud and valiant race.
HighTop: Resembling the giant herbivores of Earth, these giants are
among the most gentle on DP.
SnowHorn: These woolly mammoths have adapted to the harsh life of the
SnowHorn Wastes.
RedEye: Resembling Earth's giant flesh-eaters.  These dinosaurs were
under EarthWalker control until General Scales took them over.
SharpClaw: A rather anthropomorphic breed of dinosaur.  They believe
themselves the superior of the dinosaurs races.
************************************************************************
5. Items, Collectibles, Powers, and Abilities
There is most defintely no shortage of pickups lying around Dinosaur
Planet, as Fox and friends will soon find out.
======================================
Common Items -
These are the most common items found in the game, and you'll be
thankful for it.
Dumbledang Pods: Found in containers and on defeated enemies, one pod
will restore two small life energy pieces (half a big piece).
Pukpuk Eggs: Found in containers and on defeated enemies, one egg will
restore four small life energy pieces (one big piece).
Energy Gems: Found lying around, or in Magic Plants, these gems restore
your Staff Energy.  Green restores a tiny amount.  Red restores a little
more.  Yellow restores a lot (most of it when your meter's still small).
Blue completely restores your Staff Energy.
Scarabs: The currency of Dinosaur Planet.  They're found in containers
and under rocks.  Green scarabs are worth one.  Red are worth five, and
Gold are worth ten.  Use them to purchase items in the ThornTail Store
or to give to other beings.
======================================
Expendable Items -
These items are used during the course of your adventure.  They're not
as easily collected as Common Items, but a sharp explorer should be able
to pick up places to find them quickly.
Fuel Cells: ROB dropped a ton of cells so that your Arwing could get
around, but an error caused them to be scattered all over Dinosaur
Planet.  You need to find Fuel Cells so you can power your Arwing to
take you to the four areas that are above Dinosaur Planet.  Although
there is a finite number sitting around the planet, you can buy as many
as you want from the Storekeeper, and you don't need all the ones lying
around to finish the game.
Blue Grubtub Fungus: These mushrooms are given to Tricky so that he can
perform tasks for you.  You can carry up to 15 of them.  You can give
Tricky a total of five at a time (you can view his status in the upper
left corner).  You'll find them lying around.  They'll freak if you get
close, so you have to whap them with your Staff to pick them up.
Bomb Spore: You'll find these in their respective plants.  They look
like round pods with smoke coming out of them.  Shoot them with the
Fire Blaster and they'll explode, causing three Spores to drift out.
Once you collect them, you can use them on circles of soft earth,
mostly which are near walls.  Once you plant them, shoot from afar with
your Fire Blaster and they'll explode, taking out any obstacles in
the area.  You can carry a maximum of seven.
Firefly: Once you buy a Lantern, you can use it to contain these
floating balls of irridescence.  When you've captured them, select the
Lantern from your inventory and a Firefly will float out and follow you
around, lighting up dark areas.
Moonseed: These strange crescent-shaped seeds are guarded by Kalda
Choms.  When you defeat them, they'll leave behind a seed.  The place
to use these seeds is patches of dirt that are next to cracks in walls.
Plant them, and then have Tricky use his Flame on them, and the plant
will shoot up the wall and you'll have a makeshift ladder to scale.
BafomDad: These bouncy guys are your extra lives.  If you fall in
battle, and are carrying one of these, you'll automatically be fully
restored.  In the beginning, you can only carry one, but buying a
BafomDad Bag at the store will allow you to carry ten.
======================================
Major Items -
These are special or story-driven items.
Hi-Def Display Device: Pick up this for 20S in the Store.  You can use
it to activate the Zoom feature when you go into first-person mode with
Z.
Firefly Lantern: For 20S, you can pick up this item at the Store.  With
it, you can capture Fireflies in the field.
Dinosaur Horn: This is found in SnowHorn Wastes.  When you find a pad
with the horn on it, blow it!
Spellstones: There are four Spellstones in all: two are Fire Spellstones
and two are Water Spellstones.  They're formed of Dark Matter and
contain the power of Dinosaur Planet and prevent it from tearing itself
apart.  When you find them, you must return them to their respective
Force Point Temples.  Oh, and every time you collect one, you'll get
an extra big energy piece in reserve.
Krazoa Spirits: These ancient phantasms are responsible for all life on
Dinosaur Planet.  They were hidden to prevent being exploited by General
Scales.  They must be returned to Krazoa Palace.
======================================
Staff Powers -
Found in underground passages, any time you're near a shrine that can
empower your staff, your staff will glow green and vibrate in your
hand.
Fire Blaster: Your first power is a simple shot of red energy.  It's
not serious fire, as in, it can't ignite things, but it can cause
damage and hit far-off buttons.  You'll find it in ThornTail Hollow
behind the well.
Rocket Boost: When you find a small floor tile with blue light coming
out of it, you can use that spot to boost yourself pretty darn high,
once you collect this power.  You need to hold down the button to
charge up the boost.  You'll find it in the well in ThornTail Hollow.
Ice Blaster: This is a much shorter range power than Fire Blaster.
Hold down the button and you'll let out a steady stream of frigid air.
You can douse flames with it, and freeze enemies.  You'll find it in
the Volcano Force Point Temple.
Ground Quake: This power will cause you to jump up and slam the staff
into the ground, stunning all enemies in the area.  It's particulary
effective on Kalda Choms.  You'll find it in Moon Mountain Pass after
returning the first SpellStone.
SharpClaw Suit: This disguise will allow you to go unnoticed amongst
enemies, and if you step on yellow pads with red light, you can
activate them.  Also, there are some boxes and barrels you can only
pick up when in disguise.  You'll find it in CloudRunner Fortress
after being captured.
Portal Device: After finding and restoring the third Krozoa Spirit,
you'll be able to get this after saving a mother ThornTail's eggs.
When you come across a portal, use this to open it and pass.
Super Ground Quake: You'll find this in the Walled City.  It's more
powerful than the standard Ground Quake and knock over really big guys.
======================================
Tricky's Abilities -
You have a strange relationship with your little dino pal.  Although you
two talk like partners, you order him around like a pooch.  These aren't
exactly found, so much as Tricky just up and tells you what he can do.
If Tricky can use one of his special abilities in a specifica area, a
"?" will appear above him.
Find: If you find small circular patches of rock, have Tricky use this
command to dig up what's underneath.  Also, Tricky can dig through
small weak sections of certain walls.
Stay: Use this ability if you want Tricky not to move, such as when
you need him to weigh down a switch, or if you're sick of him
following you.
Heel: Use this command if you want to cancel Tricky's Stay command.
He'll come running to your side.
Play: Once you've purchased Tricky's Ball from the Store, take a break
and throw it around so he can chase it.  If you throw it enough,
Tricky will change colors.  He changes colors every ten throws.  Some
have suggested (and I myself believed) that changing Tricky's colors
actually changed how he acted in the game, making him faster or more
efficient.  After observing this for a while, I can say it's untrue.
This is just a color change.
Colors:
1st: Yellow with purple top
2nd: Purple with yellow top
3rd: Green with blue top
4th: Green with yellow top
5th: Purple with blue top
6th: Blue with purple top
7th: Greenish-yellow with purple top
Flame: Once you've made some progress in SnowHorn Wastes, Tricky will
start using this power.  If you find any ice walls, or bramble patches,
or anything that could be set fire to, use this command.
======================================
Arwing Powerups -
When in flight, there are several pickups available to fight off the
spaced invaders.  Some are in containers and you have to shoot them to
open them up.
Energy Ring: A sliver ring.  This will restore your shields when
they're depleted.
Bomb: A red circle with a B.  Fire this with B and you'll take out a
cluster of enemies.
Twin Laser: Two green lines and an L between.  This will allow you to
fire both the Arwing's lasers linked.  Find a second one to get Hyper
Lasers, which are quite rare.
Gold Ring: Self-explanatory.  These allow you to progress in the game.
************************************************************************
6. ThornTail Store
In ThornTail Hollow, there is a door that leads down a wall and over a
little climb and into the Store.  The Storekeeper will explain the whole
deal when you first arrive.
The basic deal is that when you select an item, the Keeper will show up
and show you its base price.  You can haggle him down lower if you
wish.  You can't make a lower offer than half the price, and he'll just
say it's too low, anyway.  After the first time, raise the price and
suggest it.  If he says it's too low three times, he'll call you a
cheapskate and you'll have to try again from the beginning.
NOTE: You can't even haggle something unless you have the required
amount of Scarabs for the base price.
The center of the Store has a well from where you can buy a Cheat Token
for 20 Scarabs (look in the Extra Items section for info about Cheat
Tokens).
Left Chamber - This chamber mostly has common and expendable items:
Dumbledang Pod - 3 Sb
3 Dumbledang Pods - 10 Sb
Pukpuk Egg - 6 Sb
3 Pukpuk Eggs - 15 Sb
Bomb Spore - 5 Sb
Fuel Cell - 10 Sb
Blue Grubtub Fungus - 12 Sb
Firefly - 10 Sb
Middle Chamber - This chamber has several special items and some maps.
Rock Candy - 10 Sb
Hi-Def Display Device - 20 Sb
Tricky's Ball - 15 Sb
BafomDad Holder - 20 Sb
SnowHorn Artifact - 130 Sb
Firefly Lantern - 20 Sb
Cape Claw Map - 5 Sb
Krazoa Palace Map - 5 Sb
Dragon Rock Map - 5 Sb
Ocean Force Point Map - 10 Sb
Right Chamber - This chamber is nothing but maps.
ThornTail Hollow Map - 5 Sb
Moon Mountain Pass Map - 5 Sb
LightFoot Village Map - 5 Sb
DarkIce Mines Map - 5 Sb
SnowHorn Wastes Map - 5 Sb
Walled City Map - 5 Sb
CloudRunner Fortress Map - 5 Sb
Volcano Force Point Map - 10 Sb
NOTE: You'll also find a Rocket Boost Pad.  You can come here when you
get that Staff Power.  There's not much up there, though.  Just some
Scarabs.
Game Room - To the left or right of the exit, you can enter the Scarab
Scramble game room.  Bet between 1 and 10 Scarabs and the Storekeeper
will toss them into the middle of the pit with the same number of purple
Scarabs.  Collect all your Scarabs except the purple ones and you'll win
double the amount you bet.  If you touch a purple one at any time, you'll
only keep what you got before then.
So, the Maps are quite helpful if you want a bird's eye view of the
area, but they're not entirely necessary.  You can buy the common and
expendable stuff as needed.  You'll need almost all the special items.
Tricky's Ball isn't required.  Neither is the BafomDad holder, although
it's a definite help.
************************************************************************
7. Enemies
There are plenty of bad guys to shake a stick at in this game.
General rule for enemies on the ground is to whack them.  Air enemies
should be gunned down with your Fire Blaster.
Wraith: A floating, glowing apparition.  If you get close, they'll
start spinning and they'll home in on you.  Take them out from afar.
Red Grubtubs: These are a more territorial version of the mushrooms you
find.  They don't move, but if you get close, they shake a red cloud
of dust off that hurts.  You can't destroy them, but you can shoot or
hit them to stun them.
SharpClaw Grunts: These are the guys you'll take the most time fighting.
I've lumped all walking, fighting SharpClaws in one group, as the only
things that really change about them are their weapons.  They're all
fought the same, though.  If they start blocking, block one from them
and quickly retaliate.  Link together a combo to knock them down
quickly.
Snipluk: This small burrowing guy pops up and down and spits at you.
He can move a bit underground, but he can't take too many hits.  Try
to get the drop on him as he comes up.
Kooshy: This guy is similar to a Snipluk.  The differences are that he
doesn't move around, and he normally just stays up out of the ground.
If you get close, he'll duck down, only to come back out when you get
further away.  Rush in close quick to hit him.
Spike Plant: These little wall-hugging plants like to shoot out a spiky
appendage when you get close.  The only way I've found of beating them
is to freeze them with the Ice Blaster, then whack them with the Staff.
Bloops: Recognizable by their annoying screeches, these guys fly
around, home in on your position and swat you.  Best way to take them
out is from afar with your Fire Blaster.
HoleDwellers: Although kinda rare, these guys live in dark holes, and
you can only see their glowing eyes.  They spit green stuff at you,
so shoot them with the Fire Blaster before they become trouble.
Bat: Very similar to the Bloops, except quite a bit smaller.  These
guys are actually a challenge to hit with your Blaster.
Flame Bat: You can't do a thing to these warm weirdos until you get the
Ice Blaster.  Once you do, let them get close and freeze them.
Kalda Chom: A very resilient enemy found on Moon Mountain Pass.  You
cannot attack them directly, but if you perform a Ground Quake, you'll
shake them up and can hit their soft back.  Two hits should do it.
FireCrawler: These guys retreat into their shells when hit, which catch
on fire.  You can still hit them while they're in their shells, but it
takes forever.  To take them out quickly, use the Ice Blast until they
freeze, and whack them to shatter them.
Fungus Turtle: These pains-in-the-neck splash about in the water, where
you can't use your staff.  The only way to take them out is to Fire
Blast them from the shore, which can be difficult if they're far off.
Spybot: A guard and surveillance machine, Spybots scour a set area and
anything not on their side that wanders into their spotlight gets
zapped.  Shooting them with the Fire Blaster will stun them.
RedEye: A nasty, large dino.  You can't lay a hand on them until you
get the Super Ground Quake.  Once you do so, use it to knock them over,
then Fire Blast their heads, or throw a Fuel Barrel at them.
Cannonbots: Guarding the prison on Dragon Rock, these four robots fire
a steady volley of laser blasts at anyone nearby, and they're protected
by shields.  The shields need to be deactivated before they can be
destroyed.
************************************************************************
8. Walkthrough
This walkthrough is divided into chapters based around finding the
major items in the game: The Spellstones and the Krazoa Spirits.
====================================
A. Prelude
As the game opens, you learn a young girl named Krystal answers the
distress call from Dinosaur Planet.  She swoops down on a CloudRunner
and attacks General Scales' Galleon as it flies in the air.
---
i. General Scales' Galleon
Use the Stick to orient yourself and press A to fire shots from the
CloudRunner.  Your first target on the ship is the two cannons spewing
flame at you.  Once fire bursts from them, attack the spinning propeller
underneath.  After taking out all four blades on the propeller, shoot
the two fire cannons again until they're destroyed.  Now, the Galleon
will swing around and attack head on.  Shoot the head to land on
the deck.
Once you land, walk up to the front of the ship, follow the game's
prompt, and press A when you reach the young dino-ling in the cage.
When you speak to him, a couple of doors someways back will open.  Go
back along the deck and down the ramp to reach the hold.  Right in the
center of the room is a key on a platform.  Take it into your
possession.  Now, head back up to the deck, walk over to the caged bird
and you'll have a little encounter with the big smelly General Scales.
He'll toss Krystal over the side, where the CloudRunner will catch
her.  She'll leave and decide to head for the source of the distress
signal, which seems to be from a nearby palace.
---
ii. Krazoa Palace
When you land, start by avoiding the Wraiths floating around and
speaking to the EarthWalkers lying around.  They'll give you basic
tips on control.  Start by walking over to the locked door.  Open up
your Inventory with the C-Stick and select the Key to open the door.
Pick up the Fuel Barrel behind.  Once you use the Barrel, a new one will
be generated on the pad on the floor nearby.  Anyway, use the Barrel
on the line of boxes nearby and you'll blow them up.  You can also use
Barrels on the Wraiths to beat them, but they will come back in about
a minute.
NOTE: Blowing up most any boxes around here will get you Pods or Eggs
for restoring your health.
Once you blow up the boxes, grab another Barrel, head down the ramp,
veer left and throw the Barrel at the cracked wall.  Head further
inside (talking to EarthWalkers along the way).  In this next area,
use a Barrel to blow up a line of boxes, then go around the corner,
past the Wraith, to the pad to pick up another.  Head back to the
boxes that you blew up, and time your movements past the flames.
Throw the Barrel at the far wall to open it and head through to the
next area.
In this next room, there's another Barrel Pad.  Instead of throwing
it, though, head to the nearby floor switch.  You need something to
hold it down, so step on it, then press A to set the Barrel down (you
can only set the Barrel if you're standing on the switch, otherwise
you'll throw it).  Head to the next room and have a chat with the
Earthwalker, who'll tell you that he sent the distress signal and that
you need to restore the Krazoa Spirits.  He'll open the door to the
first Krazoa Shrine.  Step on the pad and press A to teleport.
---
iii. Krazoa Shrine 1
Walk a little ways and climb up the ladder.  In the first room, you'll
see a Wraith in a pit.  Drop down into the pit and climb out the other
side.  Walk up to the red circle on the wall and you'll learn about
Life Force Doors.  To take down the Wraith, just toss a nearby Barrel
at it.  Once the Wraith is gone, the door will open.  Head through and
to the next room.  In this room, you must step on the switch until it
goes all the way down, then time your run past the flame jets to get in
before the gate closes.  If you find yourself harrassed by the Wraith,
you can always go back, grab a Barrel, and toss it at him.  Go through
the gate and walk up the Krazoa Spirit.  Talk to it to receive your
first test.
THE TEST OF OBSERVATION: Not that hard, really.  Just watch where the
Spirit jumps to, then follow the urn as they all rotate around.  Once
they stop, press A near the one with the Spirit inside.  Once you find
it three times, the Spirit will introduce itself to you, or rather,
into you.  Nice eyes...  Now, you'll be deposited at the entrace to the
shrine.  You'll talk to the Earthwalker for a bit more, then you can
head for the platform in the back of the room.  You'll rise up to the
tunnel.  From there, run ahead and to the right.  Press A on the
platform to deposit the Spirit, after a fashion...  Poor Krystal gets
knocked into the beam by something evil and trapped in a crystal.  Boy,
that stinks...
====================================
B. Chapter 1 - Star Fox Reporting
Somewhere in the Lylat System, the Great Fox gets a call from General
Pepper, to investigate the happenings on Dinosaur Planet.
---
i. Arwing Mission - To Planet
You need to fly through one Gold Ring to pass to the Planet.
Fortunately, there are about ten floating around in this area.  The
green specks you see from far off are mines, which blow up if you get
close.  Also, there are small fighter ships that fly in to take shots
at you.  In the containers are Bombs, and one has the Twin Laser
powerup.  So, shoot your best and hit at leat one Gold Ring to get to
the Planet.
---
ii. Thorntail Hollow
Once you land on the planet, Pepper will brief you and explain the
Communicator.  You'll respond with your own dry sense of humor.
Fox mentioned a weapon.  Well, one is quite nearby.  Look to the right
of the two ThornTails standing nearby and you'll see a small circle of
trees and flowers.  Head to the center and you'll pick up Krystal's
Staff, and she'll pop into your head and explain how to use it.
Now that you're armed, chat with the ThornTails around and they'll talk
about basic things such as lifting rocks and magic plants.  Where you
really need to go is the small plaza near where you found the staff.
As you approach the door, four SharpClaw Grunts will dash out of the
door and attack.  Defeat them all using basic combat techniques (combos,
blocking with R).  Once they're all destroyed, a red button will
appear, and a door will open across the way in the Hollow.
Head through that door and press A to lift up the lid.  Drop down in
the hole.  Make your way through the tunnel and press A at the central
device.  Your staff will be charged up with the FIRE BLASTER.  Follow
the instructions on how to use it.  If you want, you can practice your
firing on the Bat near the ceiling.  He won't attack.  To leave the
area, shoot the button near the gate.
NOTE: These red buttons with sunburst designs are in many places, and
this is the main use of the Fire Blaster.
Once you've returned to the Hollow, head back to the small plaza, take
aim, and Blast the button above the door.  Head through and you'll
speak to the Queen Earthwalker.  Slippy will translate that you need to
speak to the Warpstone, and he'll take you to Ice Mountain to find her
son, Prince Tricky.  She'll also make a call that will move one of the
ThornTails guarding a wall.
That ThornTail was actually sitting on a patch of dirt.  Right next to
the river, you should see a pod-like plant with vapor coming out.  Blast
it and collect the spores that fly out.  These are Bomb Spores.  Plant
one next to the wall and you can talk to the Warpstone.  He won't want
to talk to you unless you can bring him a gift.
While you're at it, scout around and see if you can find some other
places to plant Bomb Spores.  There are a few places around, including
under the waterfall.
Now's the time to stock up on some Scarabs (flip some nearby rocks) and
head to the Store.  Buy the Rock Candy there, as well as some maps if
you feel like it.  Now, head to the Warpstone and use the Rock Candy
on him.  Nice bagpipe theme song.  He'll explain his warping powers.
You'll want to push Left to head to Ice Mountain.
---
iii. Ice Mountain
As you enter the area, you'll see a SharpClaw ship drop in with what
could only be the little Prince Tricky.  Two Grunts will lead him into
a cave and shut the door behind.
Now, note you're being shot at from afar.  That's a SharpClaw Cannon.
To the left of you, up a little slope, is a Barrel Pad.  Take the Barrel
and toss it at the wall of crates across the field, since you can't
break these crates with your staff.  Behind this wall are the two
Grunts who were manning the Cannon.  Take them out and a Blast Button
will appear above the metal door.  Shoot the Button and head in.  Your
valiant rescue attempt will be abrupted by Tricky running off.  The
SharpClaws will hop on their bikes and give chase.  You'll hop on the
remaining one and pursue.
Although you can destroy the bikers by ramming them, all you have to
do to proceed is to beat them to the end of the course.  Try to look
for some hills that can get you a serious lead.  When you get to the
end, you'll crash up your bike and meet Tricky, and your translator
will finally be working.
Proceed along the path.  Soon, you'll reach a lava pit (that's right,
lava in a snow area).  Head to the right and you'll find some Blue
Grubtubs.  Whack them to pick them up, then feed them to Tricky.  He'll
explain his Find Command.  Use Find on the nearby patch of loose rock
and he'll uncover a switch.  Try to step on it and he'll tell you about
his Stay Command.  Have him Stay on the switch, go in the little cave,
and use the lever to raise a platform in the lava pool.  Head down into
the lava pool and hop across (don't worry about Tricky, he'll follow,
somehow...)
---
iv. SnowHorn Wastes
Now, head further along the path.  You'll come across two Grunts.  Fight
them both (note Tricky runs off).  Once they're down, continue on,
pausing to take out the Snipluk.  Enter the clearing and take out the
three Grunts chasing Tricky around.  He'll then tell you about his
Heel Command.
There's quite a bit in this area.  Pick up a bunch of Grubtubs, and
have Tricky Find on all the patches of loose rock.  You'll find an Egg,
two Alpine Roots, and a hidden passageway that leads to a Staff Energy
Extender.
Have a chat with the nearby SnowHorn (mammoth) and give him the Alpine
Roots.  For one, he'll give you a Small Scarab Bag (can hold 50
Scarabs), and for the second, he'll pound the ground, and a block will
drop from the water stream.  Push the block to the nearby ledge to
climb up out of the pond area.  Also, you can push it over to the
nearby Fuel Cells to snag them.
Once you're over the wall, you'll be near a freezing pond.  If you want
the Fuel Cells on the other side, go on the other side of the pond's
right wall to find a switch to raise an ice floe.  Otherwise, there's
no need to go here.  You can't find the SnowHorn's gold root yet.
Head down the slope.  There's a small patch of rock Tricky can dig up
to get you a BafomDad.  You can talk to the SnowHorns, who mention their
lost leader.  Head further down and you'll notice a lock.  You don't
have a key, naturally, so forget about it for now.  Talk to the
SharpClaw blocking the nearby cave.  Pay him 25 Scarabs to pass.  If you
don't have enough, there are plenty lying around in baskets and under
rocks.  Pay him and continue on past the Fire Bats (you can't hurt
them) to a sewer-like area.  Don't bother with the switches now.  Just
swim through and you'll end up back in ThornTail Hollow.  Just open the
gate with the lever switch.
---
v. White Grubtubs
Tricky will hear a call from his mom and take off.  Head down to the
Queen EarthWalker and Tricky will mention White Grubtubs that could
help his mom.
First, head to the Store and pick up a Firefly Lantern.  You'll need
it inside.  Don't bother putting Fireflies in it yet.
Head towards the large circular structure.  That's the well that has the
White Grubtubs.  Have Tricky Find at the side and he'll dig into it.
Once inside, Fox will tell Tricky to stay behind.
Slide down the ladder and into the well.  Manuever around the red
shrooms and into the next room.  As you get to the little pond, you'll
feel the rumbling.  Bomb Spore the floor patch and you'll be in a
Staff Power room.  This room gives you the ROCKET BOOST.
Once outside, you can use the Rocket Boost Pad under the crate at the
far end of the room, for a couple of Fuel Cells.  To move forward,
though, head back to the first room and find the Boost Pad there.
Head along the causeway back to the pond room.  Plant a Bomb Spore and
set it off to drop part of the bridge down below.  Drop down and push
the block onto the button to hold open the gate.
Head inside and speak to the ThornTail who's two scales short of a
full tail.  If you have the Lantern, he'll move and you can Bomb the
floor.  Slide down the ladder.
Right next to you is White Grubtub #1.  Continue further into the cave.
Veer a bit left and you'll find a pond with a couple of Bats and three
Fireflies.  Take them all, then enter the dark area that's to the right
of this little Firefly alcove.  Activate your Lantern to pull out a
Firefly.  Find the Bomb Spore patch and place one.  Blow it and behind
the wall you'll find White Grubtub #2.
Enter the other dark passage (the one that slopes downhill).  Take
White Grubtub #3 down here, and find another Bomb Spore patch.  Plant
and shoot and you'll lower the nearby pillar.  Now, head back and enter
a short passage with a Boost Pad.  Boost up and collect White Grubtub
#4 and some Fireflies.  Now, since you lowered the pillar, you can hop
out onto it and cross to the other ledge.  In this new area, you'll find
White Grubtubs #5 and #6.  Now, retrace your steps all the way to the
entrance and outside.
Go to the Queen and give her the White Grubtubs.  She'll be restored
and will spill the whole story on you.  So, now you've got to find
and restore the SpellStones.  You'll be tasked with going to SnowHorn
Wastes to find Garunda Te, and you'll be given the SharpClaw Prison
Key.
For another place to use the Boost, go around near the Store.  There's
a Pad here.  Use it to shoot up to the ledge.  Bomb the wall.  Inside,
hit all four Blast Buttons quickly to open up a hole and get a Staff
Energy Upgrade.  There are also a couple of Fuel Cells around the
corner on the ledge.
Now, to head back to SnowHorn Wastes, climb the ladder to the left of
the well and you'll be back in the sewers.  The flow's too strong to
swim against, so have Tricky stay on the nearby switch, climb up, and
flip the lever to reverse the flow.  Also in this area, there's a
Boost Pad that'll put you in range of a Blast Button that will open
up a couple of Fuel Cells.  Keep going through the sewers and you'll
be back to BribeClaw and the Wastes.
====================================
C. Chapter 2 - DarkIce and Hot Lava (SpellStone #1)
Whenever you go on a SpellStone quest, the whole thing is two-fold.
In addition to going up in orbit to retrieve the stone, you also have
to go the respective Force Point Temple to restore the stone.
---
i. SnowHorn Wastes
All right.  First use the key on the nearby lock to open the cage.
Enter and head for the frozen ice, under which Garunda Te is trapped.
He'll tell you to bring him Frost Weeds from the nearby tree so he'll
be strong enough to free himself.  What you need to do is whack the
tree and kick the weeds over to the ice so he'll suck them up.  You
need to do this three times.  Only problem is there's a bunch of
SharpClaws here, too.  Try to avoid fights if you can and just
concentrate on the weeds.
Once you've freed Garunda, he'll tell you about the SpellStone and
his daughter, and that he'll open the gateway for you to DarkIce Mines.
Now, you're clear to head back to your Arwing.
If you want to do more here, go east and kill the HoleDweller in the
tree near the waterfall.  It will tip over and you can climb up to a
couple of Fuel Cells.
Anyway, head back to ThornTail Hollow.  If you have five Fuel Cells,
you can make the run to DarkIce Mines
---
ii. Arwing Mission - To DarkIce Mines
This run is a bit more hectic than the first, mostly because of the
existence of a lot more meteors.  Try to fly around them as best as you
can.  You only need three Gold Rings, and there are about ten floating
around.  If you see a ring with an X in the middle, just shoot it and
you'll be able to fly through it.
---
iii. DarkIce Mines
Once you land, trudge on up the sloping path (either direction), while
shooting down Bloops that get in your way.  Continue along the thin
path, avoiding lava balls and hopping over gaps.  Soon, you'll reach
the camp.  Clean it out of SharpClaws if you wish.  Note that one of
the SnowHorns here is in shackles.  Next to him is a cabin with a snow
wall in front of it, but it has a crack.  Have Tricky Find and he'll
burrow through.  Follow him in, defeat the two Grunts inside, and find
the chest in a little sideroom that has the Shackle Key.
Release the SnowHorn outside and she'll ask you to help Belina, the
Gatekeeper's daughter.  She'll also give you a Bridge Cog.  Head past
the cabins and through the archway and you'll find a river.  Drop down
to the ledge below and make your way towards the waterfall, where you'll
find a cog mechanism.  Put the missing Cog in its place then pull the
lever to extend the bridge.  Climb back up and cross.  Follow the path
and you'll find two Grunts beating up a SnowHorn.  Beat them up,
instead.  The SnowHorn will tell you about Tricky's Flame Command, and
he'll also ask for some food.
Now that you have Flame, head back to the cabin area and have Tricky
melt the ice on the cabin blocked by ice.  Head inside and have him
also use it on the firewood to melt the ice in a somewhat delightful
manner.  Drop down, take care of the Snipluk, and melt the ice wall
in here.  Have Tricky Find near the patch of dirt and you'll get an
Alpine Root.
Head back out and back to where the SnowHorn is.  No need to feed him
yet, as there's one more we need.  Drop down into the trench with the
rolling rocks.  Go up the trench in the direction the rocks are coming
from and you'll eventually come upon an ice wall.  Flame it down, and
use Find to get the second Alpine Root.
Head back out of the trench to the SnowHorn and give him the Roots.
He'll ask you to hop on his back for some smashing good times.  Climb
up the nearby ladder and press A to hop on.  Move him to the gates and
knock them down.  That's all you need him for, so head to the right
to the nearby platform to hop off.  Ignore the Cannon firing at you
for a moment and head back in the direction of the gates.  Flame down
the nearby ice wall and pass through.  Climb up the nearby ladder and
you'll pass another cog device.  Boost up off the pad to head back into
the Cannon area.  Hop across the platforms along the wall.  When you
reach the one with the torch, head inside and you'll reach the Cannon.
Knock out the Grunt guarding it and you'll be able to commandeer it.
Yay... ^_^
Start firing on the Grunts that come out of the hut.  Once you take out
all five, the Life Force Door will open.  While you're here, see that
wall that's boarded up far to your right?  Bust it up, too.  Now,
head back down to the ground level.  Go through the door under the
Cannon to get a Bridge Cog.  Go into the hut the Grunts were coming
out of to get a second Bridge Cog.  Head through the former boarded up
wall by climbing up to it.  In this windy area, walk up the slope and
past the weird pad.  Have Tricky Flame the wall and you'll get the last
Bridge Cog.
Head back to the cog mechanism (on the path to the cannon).  Place all
