~Clockwork Knight (Saturn)

TIPS & CHEATS FOR THE SEGA SATURN VERSION BY : 2TUFF!


This the game to revolutionise Platforms.  Forget DKC on the Super 
NES.  This game has the great animation of characters like DKC, 
but will new graphics techniques, of which DKC did not.  All the 
levels graphics change perspective as you walk along and the sound 
throughout the game is incredible.  The game supports screen 
panning and scaling, awesome speed in execution, and lots of 3D 
polygons in the bosses etc.  The games rendering is superb with 
also great rendered cute in-between intros.  This game makes you 
feel your Pepperachou yourself and your in this toyland/house.  
Real great title, the only thing that spoils it is the fact that 
its a little too short and eventually quite easy.  I clocked the 
game in well under 40mins and lost 1 life just through stupidity.  
Hopefully Sega's part 2 will be longer and a touch harder.  After 
paying œ81.49 its a little big on price for a short time of play.

 
~Level 1 - Bedroom

 Boss: As soon as he smashes his Top-Hat on the floor, get close and
       when he lifts it up, keep keying him in the body.  Just 
       before the Top-Hat comes back get clear.  Dodge the Top-Hat 
       and do the same proceedure again.  Now when the Top-Hat lands 
       his head only will pop out of top instead of arms as well 
       like before.  Follow head around and hit 3 times with Key.
       
       YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE1

       * Great ginormous rendered boss which takes up 1/2 screen.
         Very fast action, brilliant sound efx with the booming of
         the bass when the Hat crashes on the floor.  The music is
         also nice and atmospheric.  Prepared to be amazed and thats
         only the beginning.


~Level 2 - Toyroom

 Boss: As soon as the plane version of this transformer comes towards 
       the screen moves away either side of it.  He will now drop two
       of the helmet Roman soldiers.  Kill both soldiers before he 
       comes back.  As soon as he transforms back into a robot get 
       close and then when hes changed keep jumping at him using your 
       Key.  If he lifts his arm up, hes going to throw a metal robot 
       bar across the screen.  You will need to jump over the bar if 
       he does this.  Repeat the proceedures over again for around 3 
       rounds.

       YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE2

     * Great ginormous 3d polygon boss which transforms itself from a
       robot to a plane and vi-versa.  The animation is absolutely 
       mint.  The screen also pans and scales depending on the action 
       and where abouts your standing.  All this is really fast and
       so amazing.  The sound is as usual great.  The ending is real
       nice with polygons and shapes exploding off the robot when
       defeated.


~Level 3 - The Kitchen

       * Always use the run&jump for jumping across gaps etc.
       * Wait for scale guage to get close to top then jump off.
       * Mind the tap water it kills you.
       * Be aware of the drag off the polished surface your on.
       * Quickly defect Teddy Bears in pots when in sight.
       * Stick to the objects floating in the sink water in pt2.
       * Always try and kane teddy bear in pots on layers areas.

 BOSS: As soon as it starts run towards him and Key the chief under
       the cooking-pot.  This will push him backwards into end.
       You will now have to jump high and over the pot when it 
       suddenly darts towards you.  He will come back, and you do 
       this again.  The pot will float off leaving you time to 
       wind/Key the character for a few times.  Try and really get 
       loads of Keyin's in.  Then move out of the way.  The pot will 
       now bounce towards you highly and hardly.  Run out of the way
       and then use the same proceedures as before.  He will 
       eventually die.
       
       YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE3

     * Really nice sound as the pot clangs and spins on the surface.
       The music is also as usual great.  The shear speed of whats
       on-screen is quite amazing and so realistic (you think your
       really in this god dame toyland).  As usual lots of nice
       scaling and panning whilst fighting this georgous boss.

 
~Level 4 - The Attic

     * Always wait for the giant walls to open up, DONT rush things.
     * Always set the bombs off near the Clockwork keys etc.
     * Use the spring in the first part as you run to defeat foes.
       At the end of the first part near first wind-up box use the
       spring from beginning of part.  Throw it the other side of
       the wind-up box and jump off it over the top of end.  There 
       is a slight gap if you look from alittle away.  You can see
       this gap becuase of the games perspective style.  Open the
       new win-up box, and you will find lots of clocks, an extra
       life, 3 wind-up keys + another wind-up box.  Go into this
       box and it will bring you out where you left off as normal.
       
       When you get towards the end of this 2nd part of 1st part 
       (Tehe) there is a like wooden box bridge over a gap.  And as 
       usual those spiral cylinder bombs.  Wait for first one to get 
       to the end, near you and then he will explode.  Jump across 
       using the run&jump technique.  Jump above and kill the teddy 
       Bear in pot.  Now the 2 other bombs will explode and 
       underneath on a platform theres a win-up key.  Now get to the 
       end where the giant wall is. 
         
       You will notice a box hanging off the edge of the platform 
       before this.  When the giant wall is open enough to get 
       through.  Use your key on this 2nd height box, this will give 
       you a invincibility Run now through the gap kaning the foes 
       and grabbing the clocks and the extra life.

 BOSS: Go towards end but not to near end, when the giant gold robot 
       falls.  Quickly key him around 3-4 times.  He will take a swip
       at you with a big hard downward punch.  Move back using the 
       Run slightly.  Now quickly get close key him about 2 times.  
       He will now jump in the air trying to stamp on you.  Run under
       him and the otherside.  When he lands try and hit him at least
       once.  He will jump like this around 4 times.  After the 4th 
       time the floor will calapse and you will hit another 
       floor/surface after a short drop.  When you land quickly pick 
       up the robots head with the B button.  When picked up throw 
       the head using the run&jump at the body piece with the >< 
       marked on it.  If correctly done you should be able to hit 
       at least 2 times whilst hes getting back together.  Always use
       the running instead of walking as walking becomes way to slow.
       Also you might find it easier to hold the head and jump using
       the C button instead of A.  Now the boss spins keep running 
       from either side and constantly throw the head at him when he 
       comes towards you.  Sometimes it will not damage him.  After 
       around 3 hits using that method, he will split up again and 
       reform.  This time his arms move in a motion towards the 
       screen.  You Must throw the head inbetween the 2 arms at 
       least 3 times.  If alls gone well he will now only be the 
       body piece.  he will now send out wireframe shapes of him, 
       to show the direction and position he will be landing at.  
       You should not this and get close so that when he stops you 
       can hit him with the head.  After around 2-3 of these he will 
       die.  You may need to jump over the body at times.  Believe 
       me when your not used to it, this text wont make its any 
       easier, its akeward as hell but you'll get there. 

       !!! Theres a little princess intro here now
      
       YOU HAVE NOW DEFEATED FOE2

       * Supports some of the greatest graphics ive ever witnessed,
         and ive witnessed some on all formats from PCEngine>Neo-geo
         and 3DO etc.  So fast and smooth + lots of scaling and
         Panning and the sound/music is great as usual.  When the
         floor smashes underneath you, you drop and you and the
         robot spin and falls endlessly down to the ground and these
         massive polygons shiney lightsourced/rendered concrete 
         blocks spin etc with you.  REALLY AMAZING

~Level 5 - Last Boss [The T.V]

       grab you, wait until it opens its calwas and then move out of
       its way.  When it hits the deck key the pincer, the TV will 
       get very angry and then pull out its circuit board.  You must 
       moves out of the way and then jump over the pencils in the

         etc.
