Strategy Guide for the Gameboy Advance. Chu Chu Rocket! also appeared on another console before, specifically, the Sega Dreamcast. There are times when we are in need of a challenging yet fun and comical game to satisfy our gaming. Chu Chu Rocket! is a great game at that. I’ve played the Dreamcast version and it’s good also. But I’m very much amazed when I played it in the Gameboy Advance. It’s such a powerful handheld gaming machine and I’m impressed about the processing power of it. I sometimes imagine playing a Playstation game on the Gameboy Advance. Now, let’s go deeper into the strategies of the game. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CONTENTS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I.

Main Goal ------------ The main goal in the game is to successfully lead the ChuChus (mice) into the rocket. There will be a couple of hindrances on the way like walls, holes, and most especially, the cats. You have to strategically place the arrow panels (4 directions: up, down, left, right) on the map. Then when you press the Start Dash (by default, it’s the R Button), the ChuChus will move around in the map in an orderly and straight path. When they reach a wall, they will turn right. When they reach the arrow panel/s, they will follow the direction the arrow panel is pointing to. Just remember that in the 1P mode, you need to lead ALL ChuChus into the rocket. Not a single one should be left out. II. Difficulty -------------- To a certain degree, the puzzles will range from extremely easy to extremely difficult. You really have to think of a way to place those arrow panels correctly. The other thing to worry about is that the arrow panels are limited. It may only need 1 arrow panel to solve the puzzle but you have to figure it out yourself. III. Winning ------------ After winning, the level will be checked (denoting that you have solved it already) and you may then move on to other puzzles. Just remember that you may take on any puzzle. There is no particular order in doing so. ============= Game Controls ============= The controls are very easy. You only need the D-Pad and the 4 action buttons of the Gameboy Advanced. A Button - Ok/Accept/Action Button B Button - Go Back L Button - Cancel Button R Button - Start/Dash Start Button - Pause (Resume/Exit) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CREATE A STAGE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CREATE A PLAYER =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1 PLAYER PUZZLE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In this game mode, your goal is to correctly place the arrow panels in order to successfully guide the mice towards the rocket safely. You’ll encounter cats and you have to think carefully (and compute the timing) about placing the arrow panels. Here are the puzzles and their solutions/strategies. In addition to the normal puzzles (those that are included in the game), there are also puzzles that have been created (custom puzzles) that were created by different persons on the Dreamcast Version. They are tough and there are lots and lots of them. You’ll definitely have to play very long. Let me remind you now that there are hundreds of puzzles here, therefore the guide might be longer than usual. There are 2,525 puzzles all in all just here in the 1 Player Puzzle mode. Here we go! Let’s start with the Normal Puzzles. I’ll put the solution I personally did for the puzzles. Take note also that is it very much possible that more than 1 strategy can be applied for a single puzzle. Legend: ======= R = Rocket H = Holes >,<,^,V = Arrows and their position ============== NORMAL PUZZLES ============== These puzzles are fairly easy. They might get a little tricky sometimes but these won’t be categorized as difficult puzzles. After completing all 25 puzzles, you’ll see the ending credits. PUZZLE #1: Where to go?

You can use all 4 arrow panels to help you out. Take note that this is now for real-time. That means, you place the arrow panels while the map is active (mice and cats are moving). ============================ NORMAL CHALLENGE PUZZLES ============================ Challenge A1: Get Mice!!! Challenge B1: Run Away!!

Study the map very well, first hand, before placing the arrows. But you can try a new arrow placement if you made a mistake. 2. For a more efficient arrow placement in maps with cats. Study the movement pattern of the cats and place the arrow correctly so that the cats misses the mice. 3. If you’re having trouble with cats, lead them off by placing arrow panels right in front of their paths. These arrows tend to disappear after being touched by cats. 4. Always remember that the mouse will turn right on walls. Use this for combinations that will lead to the rockets. 5. If there are more than 1 rocket in a map, don’t worry about leading a mouse in each of them. Leading all the mice into 1 rocket is enough to win the level. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SECRETS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. Hard Puzzle 1P - Solve all 25 Normal puzzles in Puzzle 1P Mode. 2.
