A N I M A N I A C S F A Q version 1.0 I logged into Ftp.Netcom.Com looking for an FAQ which would tell me where I could find the scripts in Animaniacs. Since I couldn't find one, I decided to make my own. I have found 21 out of the total 24 scenes from the script in the game. I am missing one from each of the following scenes: Adventure Stage, Sci-Fi Stage, and the Aquatic Stage. If you happen to notice that you know of a script that's not in here, please help this FAQ become complete by sending its location to me. My E-Mail address is byost@cis.usouthal.edu This is a quickly made version 1.0, and as such only includes directions to the 21 script pieces I've found. The next version will include strategies for defeating the bosses in the game quickly and easily. If there's any other information that you'd like to see in this FAQ, please email a request to the above address. I may also include spoilers for the endings of the game, and if I can decode the password system, include a section on customizable passwords. And now, without further ado, here are the scripts! ---------------=======| Part 1 The Script Locations |=======-------------- There are 5 areas in the game that have script scenes to recover. Sci-Fi Stage ....... 5 Fantasy Stage ...... 4 Aquatic Stage ...... 6 Adventure Stage .... 6 Pinky & The Brain .. 3 SCI-FI STAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) The first scene of the script is in the outdoor area at the beginning of the stage. Proceed to the right until you see two pieces of terrain that are taller than the screen. You will need at least two of the Warner kids to collect this one. Go past the second tower, stack up, and jump onto the tower on the right. The script is above this tower. 2) Proceed past the extraterrestrial background to the staircase. Near the foot of the staircase is a scarecrow. Dash attack the scarecrow four times, and its head will fly off and reveal the second scene of the script. ** NOTE, be careful not to dash too far to the right, or else the alien creature will appear and make life difficult for you. 3) The third piece of the script is in the area immediately after the terminator boss. You will be in an area with many breakable objects such as crates and stage lights. Ralph is also in this area. In stead of going right, dodge Ralph and break the stage light on the left. This will open a secret door to a bonus backstage area. When you exit this area, Ralph will be gone, and you will be at the exit of this area. In stead of climbing the ladder, go left, and break the first crate you see. The script scene will be inside. Don't go much farther left, or Ralph will reappear. In stead, go right and climb the ladder next to Hello Nurse. 4) I have only found 4 out of the five in this stage. 5) This *HAS* to be that last one in the stage. After completing the set scrolling screen with the giant gear, you'll see an exit door along with the mime who's leaning on a cane. Take the cane, and it'll turn into the last part of the script in this stage. ============================================================================= FANTASY STAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All four of the scenes of the script in the fantasy stage are in the anvilania section of the stage. Since these scripts are all found by going to out of the way places and not by opening secret boxes, doors, etc, I will give directions to the four of them in a step-by-step method to guide you through the castle. Steps marked with a - are listed to give you an idea where you should be, and are pretty much mandatory to finishing the stage anyway. They're just listed so you'll know when the important steps are comming up. A * indicates that you have a choice of paths (they aren't always obvious on the screen) and these are the crittical steps to reaching each of the four scenes in the Fantasy Stage. 1) - Dash under the first huge anvil. - If you have at least 2 Warners, you may stack up to get over the wall past the card soldiers. You're alone, you'll have to dash attack all three soldiers to create a bridge of moving platforms in order to proceed. (Note that these platforms move in two dimensions, so be sure to be at the right depth into the screen to jump on them. They are farthest back when moving to the right, and one level closer when going back to the left.) - Watch out for Ralph just past the wall. Pass him and bounce up the cards protruding from the walls. - Dash under the anivl. - (Optional) Break the three card soldiers to open a secret bonus area. - Dash under the anvil. * Carefully cross the moving platforms to the right. Do not jump off of the ledge. The platforms are completely off of the screen for half of their movement area, so be patient. - Dash through the line of card soldiers. ! Collect Scene #1. 2) - From the location of scent #1, jump off the ledge to the right. - Watch out for Ralph at the bottom of the drop. * Climb upon the first suit of armor to the right of where Ralph is. * If you have three Warners, stack up, and jump to the springy cards protruding from the wall to the left, or if you have insufficient siblings, then allow Ralph to jump up onto the armor with you. Be SURE to jump as he jumps up onto the armor, or he'll catch you. Bounce off of his head onto the cards in the left wall. ! Bounce up the cards and collect the script that's hovering there. 3) - Drop back down from script piece #2, and be careful not to land in Ralph's arms. - Continue to the right, and bounce up the springy cards. - Dash through the card soldiers. Do NOT jump off of the next ledge. * You will need at least two warners here. Stack up in either of the back two layers of the screen. * Jump to the right, and bounce up the cards in the wall. (NOTE these cards are staggered between the back two layers of the screen.) ! Collect script piece #3. 4) This is the only scene of the script that's out in the open. After beating the king (by luring him under the anvil three times), in stead of going through the exit that opens, go to the right, and you will find scene #4. ============================================================================= AQUATIC STAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I haven't found all 6 of these script pieces yet. I will list the first four in the order that I have found them, leaving space five open. Part six is located at the end of the stage as in the Sci-Fi stage, so it will be numbered at 6. The first area in the aquatic stage is complicated enough to merit a play-by-play guidance to the two scenes that I have found in it, in the same style as the fantasy stage guide. 1) - Jump on the raft and cross to the next island. - Ride the barrel to the next island. - Ride the raft across the water. - Use either the barrel or the raft to cross the next water. - Ride the barrel. - Ride the raft to the island (It will have a raft in the back left and a barrel in front of it.) * Take the raft, and QUICKLY proceed left. Collect >>ALL<< of the coins that leap out of the water, and a scipt scene will appear on a nearby island. It is safe to jump from the raft to that island. 2) - Return to the island that had the raft going left and the barrel. - Ride the barrel to the right. (Keep moving, and the shark will miss) - Ride the raft, then the barrel, then the raft. While riding the second raft in this sequence, there will be a line of coins. They don't lead to a script, however. * It is possible to leave the raft early and jump down onto an island. --DON'T-- * In stead, continue to the right on the raft, to the island. * While riding this next barrel back to the left, several coins will pop out of the water in a zigzag pattern. Collect >>ALL<< of them, and a scene from the script will appear on the island to the left. 3) - Ride the raft to the right. (There is a set of coins that pops out here that I've NEVER gotten all of. It's possible that this extremely difficult pattern of coins leads to the last scene I haven't found here. If you know either way, send me some Email.) - Bounce across the pink shells to the island with a raft and a barrel. * Use the raft. ! En route, a long line of coins will pop up. Collect them >>ALL<< to get scene 3. Ride the next raft to the end of this area. As long as you keep moving at a steady pace, the shark cannot catch you. 4) Script scene 4 is on the pirate ship in the area where Ralph chases you. There is a breakable crate in the second set of boxes that you run on. It is hidden amongst the unbreakable boxes on the left side of an opening in the boxes. 5) Unknown 6) After beating Captain Mel's octopus, in stead of going through the exit, go to the right, and the last scene in the aquatic stage will be there. ============================================================================== ADVENTURE STAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As far as I can tell, there are no scenes from the script located in the initial jungle section of the adventure stage. Try doing some unusual things there to look for the last piece. Another idea that I have is that collecting 100% of the coins in the mine cart portion of the stage will yield the last script. Most likely, though, it's hidden in the maze of caverns, or the swampy jungle area. (That's pretty much the whole stage isn't it?) :) 1) You need all three Warners to get this one. Climb from the sign pointing up to the platform. From there climb to the platform above you. From there, stack up again, as far to the right as possible, and leap to the 3-plank platform to the right. Once on that platform, stack up again to get the script piece above you. 2) To reach this part of the script, begin at the sign pointing up the ladder on the far side of the swamp. (You can dash attack the sign to open a secret door.) Go left, avoiding the alligator until you come to the lily pad in the backmost layer of the screen. (The second one you'll come across) Bounce on this pad to the platform above you. Stack up to reach the next platform. From there, jump to the single plank to your left. This is a falling platform, so quickly hop up the platforms above you (yes, they all fall too) until you reach the script piece. 3) This one is easy to get, but easy to accidentally leave behind, too. It is in the swinging ropes area. Near the end of this section, you'll swing into Buttons, knocking him off the screen. After climbing the falling platforms, and swinging across one more rope, you'll be at the end of the section. Carefully walk to the right, until Buttons returns from orbit. He'll have a piece of the script. If you walk too fast, he'll still arive, but you'll go to the next area before you can pick up the scene. 4) Go through the first door you see. (It will be at the bottom of the collapsing staircase.) Inside it will be a room with a vampyre flying around and a lot of spring blocks on the floor. High up in the right side of this screen is a piece of the script. 5) Near the end of the main area of the mines, there will be a group of doors underneath a crushing ceiling. Go throught the next-to-last door and the script will be right there. 6) Unknown ============================================================================= PINKY & THE BRAIN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The three scenes from the script that Pinky and the Brain still have are the easiest in the game to get, but two of them are not obvious. The third appears when you defeat Pinky & The Brain, and the robot suit explodes. The other two are obtained by throwing a bolt at the robot suit while it's airborne. The first time you hit it from the air, you get a scene, the second time, you get a gold coin, and the third time yields the next-to-last piece.
