I added the walkthrough for Slime Cave level 6, since so many people seem baffled by it (I myself was, until the solution came to me in a dream!). Notice how I also changed the "more coming soon" message to a much more appropriate "more coming... eventually." I also added a new tip to the "Tips & Tricks" section (if you just want a hint at how to clear Slime Cave level 6, without seeing the complere solution). 11/14/01 - VERY minor update. I got a request for this walkthrough to be posted at another site, so I updated the "may be found at" notice at the top. 10/03/01 - Managed to get past the level I was stuck on, so I wrote some more of the walkthrough. Changed all my definitions of "teleport" to the proper "telewarp." Made minor modifications to the copyright notice. Now I've pretty much lost interest in the game, so don't expect another update anytime soon. 09/18/01 - Finally finished the first version of this FAQ. Has a decent- sized portion of the walkthrough and a bit of misc info. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I - Introduction - Controls Part II - Walkthrough - Forest Falls Normal - Forest Falls Hard - Creepy Castle Normal - Creepy Castle Hard (coming one of these days) - Slime Cave Normal - Misc. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ PART I ************ Introduction ************ This is a cute little game called Toki Tori. The story starts off in a farmyard, on a seemingly normal day. All of a sudden, the chickens of the farm start to disappear, and all the eggs start flying through the air! One of the eggs is left behind, however. Out of this egg hatches... Toki Tori! He opens his eyes just soon enough to see the eggs disappearing into the distance. He manages to follow them for a distance, but his little feet simply aren't fast enough. Exhausted, he climbs a hill to see where the eggs could have gone. He spies a castle in the distance. Suddenly, eggs come shooting out of it in all directions and into the surrounding forest! Our hero, Toki Tori, decides to find and rescue all the eggs in the forest before continuing on to the castle, and it's up to you to guide him! ******** Controls ******** The controls in this game are quite simple. A button - confirms menu selections, makes Toki Tori jump B button - cancels menu selections, make Toki Tori use selected power Select - switches between available powers Start - pauses the game Control pad - moves Toki Tori, press twice to make him run Now that that's out of the way, on to the walkthrough! ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ PART 2 *********** Walkthrough *********** First, let me say this: I am only going to cover the normal levels in the game. The training levels are simple enough for any 3-year-old to figure out. -- Forest Falls Normal -- LEVEL 1 This level is easy enough. Just walk around and collect the eggs. LEVEL 2 Once again, just follow the path and collect the eggs. When you come to the gap in the bridge, use your bridge building ability to cross the gap. LEVEL 3 There are a few tricks to this level. First of all, you have to avoid the jelly-like monster. Secondly, the egg directly southeast of the starting point has to be collected LAST, otherwise you'll get stuck in the pit. When you come to the hollow log in the northeast corner of the level, use your bridging ability to get across to the egg. LEVEL 4 Start off by running to the left through the waterfall. Be quick, or you'll get killed by a falling monster! Run all the way to the left and collect the egg. Wait for the monster to hit the ledge and turn around, then follow behind it until you can climb up the ladder. From the top of the ladder, teleport upwards. From there, just run around and collect the rest of the eggs. LEVEL 5 Finally, these puzzles are getting slightly challenging! Follow the path through the level until the wall blocks your way. Teleport up onto the ledge in the waterfall, then bridge across to the right. Bridge across the next gap too, then collect the last two eggs. LEVEL 6 Collect the egg to your left, then drop down the ledge. Bridge across the gap to get to the ladder. Go down the ladder and to the left (save the egg in the lower-right corner for last). Follow the path upwards, then telewarp up to get to the upper ladder. Wait until the monster turns away, then climb up and grab the egg. QUICKLY hop down the ledges to your right, and sprint back down the ladder to avoid the monster. Collect the final egg to your right. LEVEL 7 Start off by going to the left and falling down to collect the egg. Telewarp back up to the ledge. Then go to the right and through the hollow log to collect another egg. Go back through the log and down the ladder just to your left. Stop in the middle of the bridge, and telewarp down. Go to the left to collect an egg, then climb back up the ladder and fall down to your right to collect another. Now, here comes the tricky part: Wait until the monster has hit the wall on the right and has turned around. Follow close behind him, and stop next to the waterfall. Quickly bring up the telewarper and press B to ready it, then telewarp yourself to the left just before the monster hits you. Collect the final egg. LEVEL 8 You start off on a bridge above a monster. That monster is trapped between two eggs. Which one do you remove? The LEFT one. Once the monster has passed by, go and collect the egg on the right. Run back to the left again and go down. Climb up the ladders just to the right, and bridge across to the waterfall. Go through the waterfall - the platform has a hole in the middle that will drop you down close to an egg. Collect that egg, then climb down the ladder to your right. Once the monster has turned away, collect the egg to your left, then sprint to the one on the right. Climb up the ladders to the final egg. LEVEL 9 First, jump onto the ledge to your right and get out your Freeze-o-Matic. Freeze the monster when he's as far to the left as possible. Then climb down the ladder to your left and bridge across the gap. Collect one egg, then telewarp up onto the ledge to get the other. Make your way back to the starting point. Climb up the ladder to your left, and go until you come across another gap, then bridge across it to get to an egg. Make your way back to one of the bridges (either one will do), and telewarp down to get another egg. Jump down the pit to the right, and walk left until you come across another monster. Freeze him, then walk across him and collect the last egg. LEVEL 10 Start off by bridging the gap to your left. Collect the egg, then follow the passage down through the waterfall. Collect the egg, then telewarp to your right to get another egg. Run past the first ladder to collect an egg, then come back and go up the ladder. Freeze the monster to your right, then walk across him to collect an egg. Telewarp to the right, and follow the path to collect the last two eggs. -- Forest Falls Hard -- HARD 1 Jump down the ledge to your left and collect the egg. climb down the ladder and jump down the next ledge. Walk to the left a bit, then telewarp up to the ladder. Grab the egg and telewarp up again. Bridge to the right out of the hollow log, back onto the starting platform. Bridge to the right again and jump down. Walk across the waterfall and climb the ladder to get an egg. From there, jump down to the left, and jump down to the left again. Collect the final egg. HARD 2 Climb up the ladder to your left (taking care to avoid the monster, and DON'T freeze him). Climb up the long ladder to your right, and walk through the hollow log. Jump down to collect an egg, then jump down to the right to collect another. Once the monster has passed by to the left, jump down through the hole and make your way back up the long ladder. Use both your bridges to get across to the egg, then jump down to the left twice to collect two more eggs. Climb up the ladders to your left, then telewarp into the closed-in area to get an egg, and teleport out to the right. Fall down to the right to collect an egg, then fall down and collect the one in the enclosed pit. Once the monster has passed by to the right, telewarp down and collect the last egg. HARD 3 Run along the path until you come across the first egg (you can't miss it). Climb up the ladder just to your left, and bridge across the gap. Jump onto the raised ledge, and telewarp up. Climb the ladder to your left to collect an egg. Then climb back down the ladder, stand under the enclosed eggs, and telewarp up, up, and right to collect them all. Now, go through the hollow log and jump out the other end as soon as the monster touches the egg on the right. Quickly ready your telewarper, and telewarp to the left to avoid being killed by the monster. Wait until he falls down two levels, then jump down to the right and telewarp up to collect the second-last egg. Jump back down, and, taking care to avoid the monster, jump down again, then onto the raised ledge. Make your way to the final egg (down the pit to your left). HARD 4 This one's quite easy, actually. Wade across the waterfall, and collect the egg at the top of the stairs. Fall down to the right, and then hop up the ledges until you reach a set of stairs you can climb. Now, collect the egg just above you so that the monster falls down the series of ledges. Next, climb partway down the ladder, and bridge to the left so that it lines up with the section of bridge that's already there. Climb to the bottom of the ladder and bridge the gap on your right. Collect the two eggs up top, then fall down and collect the egg on the bottom. Telewarp up onto the bridge you made. Finally, climb up the ladders to your left, collect the egg, and run along the bridges to get to the final egg. HARD 5 Sorry, I haven't figured this one out yet. -- Creepy Castle Normal -- LEVEL 1 Run across the bridge until you get the egg to your left. Climb down the ladder, hop down the ledge, and telewarp across the lava. Collect the egg there, then jump down the pit. Collect the egg, and telewarp down. Collect another egg, then bridge across the first gap in the lava. The other gaps are small enough that Toki Tori can't fall through them. Collect the last egg. LEVEL 2 Brick Switch the brick to your left and collect the first egg. DON'T jump down. Instead, go back to the right as far as you can go, and telewarp down. Collect the egg there, then use both your bridges to get across the lava. Run to the right and climb down the ladder, then telewarp across the gap. Hop down onto the bricks below. Switch the brick on the right, and climb down the ladder to the egg. Climb back up, and switch both bricks to get the last egg. LEVEL 3 Start off by telewarping to your right. Then use the Ghost Trap on the floor just to the right of the egg. Collect the egg, and run to the right. Wait until the ghost has fallen down, then bridge across the gap. Collect the two eggs, and climb down the ladders until there's a drop-off to the left, and a ghost to the right. Take the drop-off. Bridge the gap to the right to collect the egg, then go back to the left and hop down to the ladder. Climb up it to collect another egg, and climb back down. Hop down to the right to collect an egg, and then bridge across the gap to get to the last one. LEVEL 4 Bridge across the gap to your left. Ignore the first ladder you see, but climb up the second one. Switch both bricks so that they fall down into the lava. Climb back down the ladder and use the bricks as stepping stones to get across the lava. Walk to the left a bit, and use a bridge on the dent in the floor. Switch the brick, then climb up the ladder and bridge across the lava. Hop down the ledges until you're in the lower-left corner of the level. Run along to the right, climb up the ladder, bridge across the lava, climb up another ladder, hop across the ledges, switch the brick, and climb up the ladders to reach the final egg. LEVEL 5 Climb up the ladder and collect the egg. When the ghost passes by to the right, switch the brick so the ghost is trapped to the _right_ of it. Hop down to the left, and turn the floor all the way to the left into a Ghost Trap. Switch the block, and quickly climb down the little ladder to avoid getting killed. Once the pit is made and the ghost is clear, jump down and bridge across to the egg. Jump down to the right and collect another egg. Bridge to the right, then telewarp left to collect the final egg. LEVEL 6 Walk to the left a bit and turn the brick floor there into a Ghost Trap. Climb up the ladder to collect another egg. Make your way back to the right and climb down the two ladders to get an egg. Climb up the next ladder to get yet another egg. DON'T SWITCH THE BRICK. Instead, climb back down the ladder, up the other two, and hop onto the raised ledge. Bridge across to the egg, then flip the brick from right to left. Climb down the ladder and up the other two again, then use the bridge and brick as stepping stones to reach the little ledge above. Telewarp up. Climb up the ladder to the top of the right tower to find an egg. Then, when the ghost turns away, collect the egg to his right and climb back down the ladder. Telewarp across the gap to your left. Climb up to the top of the left tower to get an egg, and then go back down to the level which the ghost is at. Ghost Trap the brick floor, then collect the left egg to set the ghost free. Wait a few seconds after he's fallen through the floor, then follow suit. Now wait until he's trapped in the small crevasse under you, then go and hop across the lava to the final egg. LEVEL 7 From the starting point, drop down to the right, and again to the left (don't switch any of the bricks). Collect the egg to your right, and hop down again. Collect the egg to the left, and then hop back across the lava and up both sets of stairs. Hop up on the ledge to your left, hop down onto the next ledge, and put a bridge across the lava. Then turn around and hop back up to the other ledge, and bridge across so that you can reach the ladder. Climb up the ladder and collect the egg. Climb up the other ladders and bridge across the lava to the left. Hop back down to the starting point and switch the brick. Jump over to the right, climb up the ladder and switch the other brick. Switch it again so that it lands on top of the first one. Hop down onto the bricks and collect the egg to your right. Jump down to the right, and make your way to the long shaft on the right-hand side of the level. Jump down it to get the final egg. LEVEL 8 Collect the two eggs near the starting point, and climb up the long ladder. Collect the egg to your left, and climb up the next ladder to collect the egg up there. Hop down the right side of the platform so that you land on the right side of the brick. Switch the brick. Hop down onto the brick, and hop off of it to the left. Climb down the ladder and collect the egg, then climb back up, switch the brick, and collect the egg that's there. Then, hop onto the lower of the two bricks and make a bridge to the left so that it's possible to switch the top brick. Don't switch it right away, though; switch the bottom one first. Then switch the other one a couple of times so that it lands on the bottom one. Jump down the pit so that you land on top of the bricks. Collect the final egg. LEVEL 9 Start off by climbing up the ladder to your left and Ghost Trapping the indent- ed area of floor just to the right. Collect the egg and get out of the way so the ghost can fall through. Once he has, bridge over him. Run to the right and collect the egg, then climb down the ladder and telewarp to the left side of the brick. Switch it. Now climb back up the ladder to your right, and go back around to the starting point. Switch the block again. Make your way back to where the block first was, and climb down the next ladder. Jump down and bridge across the lava. Hop up the ledges and telewarp to the left side of the brick. Switch it and hop down onto it to get the final egg. LEVEL 10 This is one tricky level! Collect the egg to the right of the starting point, and bridge across the first (small) section of lava. Turn around and climb down the ladder. Run over to the left and collect the egg, then climb up the next ladder. Collect the egg just to your right, and bridge two times across the lava (not completely across). Place another couple bridges over the ladder so that you can reach the egg and the next ladder. Climb up that ladder, collect the egg, climb up the next ladder, and collect that egg. Then telewarp to the right side of the brick and switch it. Climb back down the ladder. Now bridge ONCE over the egg right below you. Walk over that section of bridge and hop down to collect the egg. Walk over to the right and hop across the ledges to reach another egg, and continue to the right and up the ladder. Climb up the next ladder, collect the egg, climb back down, hop (not telewarp) over to the left side of the brick and switch it. Hop down the ledge, and go to the left as far as you can. Telewarp back up onto the section of bridge you placed and make your way to the long lava pit. Simply walk across it (the bridges coupled with the bricks should be enough for you to get across), and hop down the pit to your right to get the last egg. -- Slime Cave Normal -- LEVEL 1 Head down the stairs to the right of the starting point, and suck up the snail (yes, it's called a snail, though it looks like a slug). Hop down to the right and climb down the ladder to collect an egg. Go up the ladder just to your left and collect another egg. Then use your bridge power twice and drop down to the ledge on your left. Hop down to the left again and climb the ladder to get an egg. Wait until the snail is off to the right, then hop down and suck him up. Collect the eggs at the top and bottom of the ladder, then walk along the bottom of the level to get to the last egg. LEVEL 2 Climb up the ladder, pick up the egg, and suck up the snail. Climb up the next two ladders, and run along to the left until you come to a drop-off. Toss two sets of crates into the pit, then jump down. Bridge over to the left and climb partway up the ladder to get an egg. Climb to the top of the ladder and collect the egg there. Climb up the next ladder. Now, here comes the hard part. Climb partway up the next ladder, so that you're just under the egg. As soon as the snail touches it, get the egg. Now, you have to place a section of bridge in the gap to your right, to prevent the slug from falling through. In the following diagram, the "X"s represent squares of ground, "H"s represent squares of ladder, the "O"s show where the sections of bridge should be put, and the "Y"s represent where Toki Tori should stand on the ladder. YYXX YYXX HHOO XXXXXHHXXX XXXXXHHXXX XHHX X When that's done with, hop down the ledge to the right, and run to the right (ignoring the egg in the pit to your left). Hop down the next ledge to colect an egg, then make your way back to the left, down the pit, up the ladders, past the slug, and to the last egg. LEVEL 3 Go to the left of the starting point, stand on top of the two crates, and place a set of crates to the left. Climb up the ladder, collect the egg, and drop two sets of crates into the pit on your right. Get the next egg, and make your way back to the starting point. Climb up the ladder to your right, place a set of crates in the hole, and collect the egg on the other side. Go back to the right, down the ladder, and down the next one as well. Collect the egg there, then climb partway back up the ladder and hop onto the ledge to your left. This next part is tricky. You have to time your jump so that you land between both snail when they're facing left. You have to carefully walk along at the same pace as them, until you get to the next ladder. Climb down that ladder and collect the egg. Ignore the next ladder, and go all the way to the left side of the level. Climb up the ladder there. Once again, I need to use some ASCII art to show you what to do. "X"s represent land, "H"s represent ladders, "Z"s represent crates, and "O"s represent bridges. Place some crates and bridges so that they look like this: X XX HHX X HHX XHHXX XXX XHHXXZZOOZZXXX XHHXXZZ ZZXX XHHXXXX XX XHH XXX XX XHH XXXXXXX XHH X XX Climb up the next ladder and place a bridge over the egg to your left. Tele- warp down to get the egg, then telewarp back up onto the bridge. Make your way back around to the two lone eggs. Collect the one up top, then drop a set of crates down to your right. Collect the next egg. Once again, wait until you can get between the snails, jump down, and make your way to the ladder on the right. Go to the right to get the last egg. LEVEL 4 There are two things you should know before you dive into this level. One, the egg just to the right of the starting point has to be collected last. Two, you can't use the Snail Sucker on the snail right below the starting point - you'll need it later. Wait until the snail has moved over to the right, then hop down the ledge and run to the ladder on the left. Climb up it and the next two ladders, then collect both eggs. Stand where the upper egg was and drop a set of crates to your right. Hop onto the crates, and bridge to the right twice. Climb up the ladder, collect the egg, and climb up the next two ladders. Climb partially up the next ladder, wait until the snail turns to the left, then suck up the snail and collect the egg. Climb back down that ladder and drop a set of crates to your right. Hop down onto the crates and collect the egg. Go back up the ladder to your left, turn right, and bridge across the nearby gap. Hop up the ledge, bridge across the next gap, hop down and collect the egg. Climb down the next two ladders, hop down, and climb up the ladder on your right to collect another egg. Hop down again, and once more down the pit to your left. You should wind up back at the starting point. Collect the last egg. LEVEL 5 Bridge across the gap just to your left. Climb up the first ladder, collect the egg, climb up the second ladder, and collect the next egg. Fall down the gap to your right, and collect the egg on top of the two crates. Go left, down a ladder, continue left, and up another ladder. Collect the egg just past the two crates. This next part is kind of nifty. First, stand on top of the two crates and drop a set of crates where the egg was. Hop up onto those crates, turn to the right, and drop another set of crates. Hop onto those, turn left, and drop some more crates. Continue doing this until you can reach the next ladder (you should have two sets of crates left over). Climb up the ladder, hop up to the ledge on your left, put a bridge to your left, and put a set of crates on the bridge. Climb up the ladder on your right, collect the egg to the right, head left, and place another set of crates on the first set so that you can reach the final egg. LEVEL 6 That's right, the long-awaited solution to this level. (Now get off my back, people!) From the start, go right and up the ladder (DO NOT collect the egg to the right of the ladder yet). Climb up the ladder and collect the egg at the top, then climb back down and allow the snail to pass. Climb back up the ladder, walk left, and collect the egg. Climb up the next ladder, but only about half-way, and climb off it to the right. Now walk to the right a little, and place a set of crates as far to the right as possible. Now, climb back up the ladder (to the top), get off to the right, and drop another set of crates down the 2-space-wide gap. It should look like this. (The "X"s are land, the "H"s are ladder, and the "Z"s are crates.) X X XHHXXX XXX XHHXXX XX XHHX X XHH ZZ ZZXXX XHH ZZ ZZXXX XHHXXXXXXXXXXXX Now, hop down the pit onto the leftmost set of crates. Telewarp to the right so that you wind up on the set of crates to the right. Go right, collect the egg, climb up the short ladder, collect the next egg, and climb up the even shorter ladder. Hop off to the right. Bridge across the pit over the crates. Climb down the ladder, go right a little, and climb down the ladder near the starting point. NOW you can collect the egg I said to avoid earlier. Go left and down the next ladder. You should be standing to the left of an egg, with the snail on the other side. Here comes the fast-paced, trickiest part of the level. First, be sure to have the snail vacuum selected. Collect the egg and immediately retreat up the ladder. Go to the edge of the ledge to your left, and let the snail fall down. Wait about half a second after he hits the ground, then jump down. As soon as the snail has gone across the egg just to your right (and down a bit), jump down and collect that egg. Immediately climb back up the ladder to your right, face the snail, and switch on the vacuum. Now here is the MOST IMPORTANT PART: DO NOT SUCK UP THE SNAIL. Only keep the vacuum on long enough to change the direction the snail is facing. When he has turned around, retreat down the ladder and let the slug crawl to the left, landing in the enclosed space. Climb down the ladder and hop off the ledge to your left. Hop down into the pit (making sure to time your jump right), get the first egg, suck up the snail there, collect the second egg, and telewarp to the right through the wall. Climb up the ladder and collect the last two eggs. ...That's the end of this level's walkthrough, but if you've read the "updates" section at the top, you're probably wondering, "Did it really come to you in a dream?!" The answer is yes. Quite a coincidence, actually; the night on Valentine's Day, I dreamed about an earlier part of the game, the tutorial level that said something about how the snail vacuum can be used just to change the direction a snail faces. When I woke up, the solution clicked. I tested my theory, and rushed to the computer to type this up. Even though I don't have a girlfriend, there still is some magic in Valentine's Day, even for me... ** MORE COMING... EVENTUALLY ** ***** Misc. ***** -- Game Tips & Tricks -- 1. This is pointless, but if you press left and right on the control pad in such a rhythm that Toki Tori spins in place for a couple seconds, he will become dizzy. Looks quite funny! 2. If you're stuck on a level, try all the possibilities you can think of. If you're in a level where you can use a teleporter, try looking for various places you can teleport to. 3. If you come across a gap, think twice before crossing it. Might you have to bridge it or teleport across it? Or bridge partway, and then teleport? 4. The snail vacuum doesn't have to be used to suck up snails; it can also be used to change the direction they're moving. -- Other -- There is an official Toki Tori site at (what else?) http://www.tokitori.com.
