Copyright Information VERSION HISTORY 1.1: 2nd Apr, 2006 (Format update) 1.0: 8th Nov, 2003 (First version) =============================================================================== 1. Introduction =============================================================================== Full Throttle is an interesting and original adventure game from Lucasarts. The game starts with Malcolm Corley, the owner of a motorcycle company named Corley Motors, driving in a car with his employee Ripburger. Rip has plans of his own for taking over the business when Corley dies, but he knows well that the last thing that Corley will do is hand the business over to him. So Ripburger kills Corley, blames the crime on a local motorcycle gang named the Polecats and then decides to introduce himself as the new leader of Corley Motors. And that's where we come in: As Ben, the leader of the Polecats. A very simple control interface is used that is very similar to the one seen in Monkey Island 3. The mouse cursor is moved over an object until it is highlighted, then the left mouse button is held to show actions that can be used to interact with the environments. There is the usual look and talk actions seen in most adventures, but there is also the taste and kick commands. While most games would have you finding a key to open a door, Full Throttle just lets you kick it down. Another difference from this game as opposed to every other LucasArts adventure is that most of the action consists of arcade sequences. One example of this is in a part of the game on the Old Mine Road, where the player controls movement with the arrow buttons and finds new weapons by knocking the riders off their bikes. It fits the style and feel of the game extremely well, and the numerous arcade sequences combined with the simple yet interesting puzzles make this yet another excellent adventure game from LucasArts. =============================================================================== 2. Walkthrough =============================================================================== KICK STAND After the introduction, Ben is found in a bin outside of the Kick Stand. Select the hatch of the bin and Ben will punch his way out, then walk right and kick the door of the Kick Stand. Enter the bar and grab the bartender, who gives Ben the keys to his bike. Exit the Kick Stand and use the bike. We next find Ben on the road, where another biker approaches him. Move with the mouse and use the left mouse button to punch the other biker off his bike. After the cutscene where the wheel falls off Ben's bike, he will be rescued by a reporter who takes him to the town of Melonweed. MELONWEED Say "Well, I'll let you get back to work..." to stop talking to Maureen, then get the gas can and hose on the desk at the right side of the room. Exit the garage to talk to the reporter who saved Ben. Say "Well, I'd better take off." to stop talking. Exit left to the map screen and walk to the trailer near the top-left corner of the map. Knock on the door and wait for Todd to answer it, then kick the door to launch him across the room. Open the cabinet above Todd to get the lockpick, and open the fridge to get the meat. Walk on the platform at the top-right corner of the room and get the welding torch on the desk to return to Maureen's garage. Walk left to return to the map, and select the tower at the top-right corner. Use the lockpick on the lock on the door, then get the lock from the floor and walk through the door to the tower area. Touch the ladder to set off an alarm, then quickly hide behind the pillar at the left side of the area as the police hover sleds will soon come in to see what's happening. As they see nobody in the area, they will guess that Ben is hiding up in the tower and will climb up to check. Open the gas cap on their hover sled and use the gas can on the gas cap. Use the hose on the gas cap, then drink from the hose to get the fuel. The hover sleds will fly off to get reinforcements, while Ben will return to Maureen's garage to give her the gas can. Now all we need to get are the forks. Walk left to return to the map and select the junk yard at the top-left corner. Put the lock on the latch at the bottom of the entrance door and climb up the chain to enter the junk yard. Jump off the path to land down in the main area, and walk right to arrive in an area with lots of cars. Put the meat in the blue car below the press. Walk left to return the main area of the car park, climb up to the path at the bottom of the screen and walk right along the path to climb up to the control tower. Move the left lever down until the press is just above the car, then press the red button to lift the car up. Move the left lever up until the car raises as high as possible. Exit the control tower, walk left along the path and drop back down to the main area of the junk yard. Get the forks from the parts pile in the lit area of the junk yard, and Ben will travel back to the garage to give the forks to Maureen. In the cutscene, Ben will discover that the road out of Melonweed is blocked by the reinforcements that were sent for by the two hover sled police from the tower. Return to the tower at the top-right corner of the map and touch the ladder again to set off the alarm. In the cutscene, Ben will automatically leave Melonweed on his bike to catch up with the Polecats. Ben will return to Maureen's garage to find that part of it has been wrecked. Search the debris to find the picture of Uncle Pete's Mink Ranch. Walk left to return to the map, use the bike and exit Melonweed by the road at the right side of the junk yard to return to the Kick Stand. KICK STAND Walk around to the side of the Kickstand and talk to Miranda in the dumpster, who will give Ben the fake ID. Walk right and enter the Kick Stand to discover that the Polecats have been accused for the murder of Malcolm Corley, and a roadblock has been set up near the Kickstand in an attempt to catch Ben. Give the fake ID to Emmet to travel to Uncle Pete's Mink Ranch. UNCLE PETE'S MINK RANCH Walk through the doorway to enter the house and move the pillow on the bed to get the tire iron. Use the tire iron on the chest to get the hose from inside. After the cutscene, Ben will arrive on a section of the road with the fertilizer spilled by the semitrailer. ROAD Use the tire iron on the wheel and then push the semitrailer over. Get some of the fertlizer, and then get on the bike. Ride all the way up the road to the mink ranch at the end. After Ben is chased by Hector's men, ride through the fertilizer in the road and they will crash. Ben will now be in the area with the broken bridge, which we will have to jump later on after collecting some important items. Drive left down the road and stop at the area where the blue hovercraft crashed. Use the tire iron on the hovercraft to get the hover craft unit. Get on the bike and ride up the road, then left click when the mine cart entrance appears on the right to ride down to the mine road. This area consists of a curvey road that a variety of riders with different weapons ride down. FIGHTING THE RIDERS Use the mouse to steer on the road until Ben encounters one of the riders. The first rider will actually be the original Polecat leader Father Torque, so just say "Well, take it easy, Father." to continue on down the road. When Ben finds the first fighter, keep moving right and tapping the left mouse button to punch. Continue punching until the rider falls off their bikes and Ben receives a weapon. Some riders can only be defeated with certain weapons, while others are easily defeated with any of the available weapons. First of all try and find the Vulture with the chainsaw. Defeat her by throwing the fertiliser to get the chainsaw, which can be used to defeat every rider except for the Cavefish and the Vulture with the booster. Next use the chainsaw to defeat the rider who has the chain. This is the only weapon that can be used on the Vulture, so defeat him to get the booster from his bike. Use the chainsaw again to defeat the rider with the plank, then approach the Cavefish. Slowly move toward the cave fish with the right arrow key, but don't get too close or Ben will slip in the oil. When the Cavefish raises his head, quickly move right and hit once with the plank to knock him off his bike for the goggles. Right click to wear them, and wait for the 'Cave' message to appear. When it does, quickly left click to enter the secret Cavefish hideout. CAVEFISH HIDEOUT Continue down the two sections of road to arrive in an area with the ramp. Push the ramp toward the bike, then use the ramp to hook it onto the back of the bike. Get on the bike and drive right to the area of the road with the fence. Get off the bike and unhook the ramp to push the markers off the road that the Cavefish use to navigate. After the cutscene, Ben will return to the gorge. We now have the booster, the hover lift unit and the ramp, so get on the bike and ride toward the gorge to jump over it. Ben will then ride to Corley's factory. STADIUM Walk down the slope and right to the stadium. Look at the souvenirs in the gifts stall and then quickly get the bunny on the cord when Horrace looks away. Exit the stadium and get on the bike at the top of the slope, then drive north down the path to the field outside of the Vultures' hideout. FIELD Put the bunny on the field and it will run over one of the mines, causing the battery that was in it to land near Ben. Get the battery and go to the stadium. STADIUM Put the battery in the RC car and drive it north toward the stadium, then ride it through the gate. Horace will now walk around to the other side of the stadium to retrieve the car, so get the bunny box from the gifts stall and return to the minefield. FIELD Drop the bunny box on the field and get at least three of the bunnies before they explode. STADIUM Return to the stadium and get the second bunny box, then get back on the bike and return to the minefield. FIELD Drop the bunny box on the minefield and wait for all of the bunnies to explode. When all of the bunnies are gone, walk up to the top of the path they created and put one of the bunnies from the first bunny box on the field. Walk a bit higher up the path and put the second bunny down, then walk up the path again and drop the third bunny. Continue up the path to enter the hideout where Maureen will accuse Ben of killing her father and will tie him up. VULTURE HIDEOUT Say "Let me go, or else...", say "I'll call you names!", then say "Diapered Dyanmo!" to explain that Ripburger was responsible for the murder. After the cutscene where the Vultures form a plan, Ben will be in a car at the stadium. STADIUM Drive up the ramp at the left side of the stadium to land on the brown car, which will stall. Hit the brown car over to the bottom-right corner of the stadium, then keep moving it up to the top of the ramp so that it lands on the floor below. Ben will then hit into Maureen's car, causing it to burst into flames at the corner of the stadium. Ben has caught on fire in the special protective suit he is wearing. Run along the side of the stadium and it will catch on fire. Ripburger's men are still after Ben however, and he runs up to the top of the brown car. Walk off the top of the brown car until the blue car starts to drive quickly toward Ben. When the blue car starts to ram the brown car, quickly walk on top of the blue car. Walk off the car when it gets near the bottom-right corner of the stadium, and walk into the fire to escape from Ripburger's men. After the cutscene, Ben will return with Maureen to the Vultures' hideout. VULTURE HIDEOUT Say "I'll see what I can do.", then exit the hideout to return to the road near Corley's factory. Walk behind the left side of the factory to arrive in an area with a cracked wall with some meters on the left. CORLEY'S FACTORY There is a secret tunnel in this area, but to open it the wall must be kicked in the right place at the right time. Look down from the left post to see a small rock at the bottom of the wall. Kick the rock at the right side of this when the meters have stopped moving to open the secret tunnel. Climb down this tunnel to enter Corley's office. Look at the floor safe and use the arrows to enter the number '154492'. Press the button to receive the card and the tape from the safe. Walk right to the hall and use the card on the card reader to enter the film projection room. Raise the motor lever and use the lamp lever twice to break the projector, which will stop Ripburger's speech. Walk through the middle door and use the tape on the reel machine to show Ripburger's crime to the crowd watching his speech. He makes his escape while Maureen comes on to tell the crowd what really happened, and after the cutscene we next find Ben being chased down the road by Ripburger on his truck. ROAD Open the panel below the window, and get Ripburger's cane as soon as he leans out to close the panel. Open the grill below the panel and use the cane on the fan to pass through to the back of the truck. Use the tire iron on the right fuel line, and the truck will ride back into the plane that was riding behind. Climb up the ladder to the cockpit and look at the middle screen to view the menu for the control systems. Select Post Take-Off, Gear, Raise Gear, and the plane will then stop right on the edge of the gorge. Ripburger will fly out of the truck and land on one of the machine guns down below, so we still have to find a way to lose him. Climb into the front of the truck and sleect Main Menu, Defense Menu, Machine Guns, Control, System Off, and Ripburger will fall down into the gorge. Quickly climb back into the plane to find that it is just about to fall off the edge, and Ben can't leave just yet or it will tip over the edge. With only a few seconds left to spare, quickly get on the bike to complete the game. =============================================================================== 3.
