Each paragraph is numbered though, describing the same step above in the quick walkthrough, but in greater detail. _---------------------_ \ A: Night World / \___________________/ Step 1: You start the game by your house. Go left two screens, and you will see stairs leading down to the subway. Go down the stairs by holding down as you walk right. Step 2: Once you're at the bottom of the stairs, feed the blob a punch jelly bean to create a hole. Fall down the hole, move out of the way, and whistle. Lead your blob to the screen to the left. Position the blob under the platform with the treasure. Feed your blob a licorice jelly bean to create a ladder. Go up the ladder to get the treasure. Whistle. Jump down from the platform. Go left two screens. Position the blob on the left side of the screen. Use a punch jelly bean to create a hole. Fall down the hole then call your blob down.

Feed your blob a vanilla jelly bean and grab the umbrella, as it is a long way down. Jump off the ledge. When you land two screens down, there will be a treasure on the right side of the screen. Step 4: Turn your blob into a blow torch with a cinnamon jelly bean. Pick up the blow torch and walk left to burn the web. Then, turn blob into an umbrella with a vanilla jelly bean. Pick up the umbrella and go one screen left of the screen with the web. When the falling coks hit the umbrella, they will crumble. However, if you walk into a rock, it will kill you. Make your way through two screens of rocks. Step 5: In the screen after the rocks, get blob to the edge of the ledge by setting the umbrella down when the worm is not on your side. Whistle to blob, then feed it a strawberry jelly bean, making sure it doesn't move. It will build a bridge across the gap. Walk across the gap, making sure not to get hit by the worm. Grab the treasure on the left side of the gap. Step 6: Whistle to blob so you can jump down the put. An umbrella is not necessary. From where you land, go right two screens. There will be a gem floating in the air on the screen you're on now. Jump off the ledge to land a screen below the gem. Feed blob a tangerine jelly bean when it is in the middle of this screen. Use the trampoline it makes to jump up to the gem. Step 7: Whistle to blob then lead him to the left side of the screen the trampoline was on. Feed it a punch jelly bean and fall down the hole it makes. You'll land on a ledge. Go to the left and get the treasure. Whistle to blob. Step 8: Go right one screen from the treasure. Jump down the pit, then go left two screens. Position the blob under the platform and give it a licorice jelly bean to turn it into a ladder. Climb up the ladder and whistle to the blob. Use ladders like this two more times to get to the platform with treasure on it. Step 9: Fall down the ledges you just climbed up. Once you're at the bottom, take your blob as far left as you can. Feed it a punch jelly bean to turn it into a hole. Step 10: Fall down the hole to land a screen below. Go left two screens and you'll be on a ledge. Feed the blob a cola jelly bean, and it will turn into a bubble. Get in the bubble and move off the ledge. You'll fall a screen down then plop into water. Press down and go underwater, down the opening in the floor beneath the water. Go down one screen. Step 11: Without going down or up a screen, go one screen left and pick up the gem near the top of the screen. Step 12: Without going down or up a screen, ride your bubble right five screens. Hug the bottom of the screen to avoid spikes along the way. In the screen you arrive in, there are three gems near the top. Grab them then go one screen to the right. In this screen, there are three more gems. Grab the gems. Step 13: Move two screens left in your bubble. Now go down one screen. There is a treasure in this area, but it's surrounded by spikes. Go towards the treasure from the right side of the spikes. As long as your careful, you should be able to grab the treasure without popping your bubble. Step 14: Move up out of the spikes onto the next screen. Go left three screens, then go up the opening a screen to the surface of the water. Ride your bubble two screens left. On this screen, there is land on the left side. Ride left and you'll jump out of the water onto the land. Position the bubble beneath the edge of the ledge above you. Whistle to change the blob back.

Get the blob near the middle of the screen and feed it a tangerine jelly bean to create a trampoline. Jump up one screen and land on the ledge. Go left one screen and pick up the bag of jelly beans. Go right one screen and jump down the ledge. Step 16: Lead your blob one screen to the right. Feed it a tangerine jelly bean. Use the trampoline to jump up one screen and land on the ledge. Whistle. Now you can either throw a honey jelly bean down a screen or throw a ketchup jelly bean onto the ledge. A honey jelly bean will make the blob a humming bird and let it fly up to you. A ketchup jelly bean makes the blob appear where it lands. Once the blob is with you, take it to the right of the screen. Feed it a punch jelly bean to turn it into a hole. Fall through to land on a ledge. Step 17: Walk right one screen. Position your blob in the center of the screen. Feed it a tangerine jelly bean to create a trampoline. Jump on the trampoline. Jump up as high as you can (five screens up). On a jump at maximum hight, go left at the peak of the jump. After landing on a ledge the screen below the highest one you got to with the trampoline, whistle to your blob. Throw a honey jelly bean to it to make the blob a hummingbird or use a ketchup jelly bean to make it appear where the jelly bean lands. Step 18: Go left one screen.

Whistle to the blob, making sure you aren't under where the hole is. Step 20: Go one screen to the left. Turn the blob into an umbrella with a vanilla jelly bean. Grab the umbrella and jump down the screen. Go as far down as you can go without going left or right. Once you reach the bottom, the place should look familiar. Now repeat steps 15 and 16. Step 21: Go one screen left. You'll see the pit with the worm again. This time instead of falling down into the pit, you'll cross over it. Get the blob by the edge of the pit and feed it a strawberry jelly bean to create a bridge across the gap. Cross the bridge and go two screens to the left. You'll see a gem in the air. Jump down one screen and position the blob in the middle of the screen. Feed it a tangerine jelly bean to create a trampoline. Jump up and grab the gem.

Whistle and use another licorice jelly bean to create another ladder. Climb up the ladder to the next screen. Position the blob on the left side of the screen. Feed it another licorice jelly bean to create another ladder that will let you climb to the next ledge up. Whistle to your blob. Go left one screen and pick up the bag of jellybeans. This bag contains orange and lime jelly beans, two new types that you have not seen before. Now you should have all the treasures. Step 24: Go one screen to the right. Position the blob on the edge of the ledge you're on. Feed the blob a strawberry jelly bean to create a bridge. Cross the bridge. Whistle to the blob and position it under the gap in the cealing. Feed the blob an apple jelly bean to create a jack. The blob will pop the manhole open, allowing you to get out of the sewers. Whiste and feed the blob a licorice jelly bean to create a ladder. At the top of the ladder, get off to the right and whistle for your blob. If your blob accidentally falls into the mahole after turning from a ladder to a blob, you can either use a honey jelly bean to turn it into a hummingbird or a ketchup jelly bean to make it appear where the jelly bean lands. Step 25: Go right six screens from the manhole. You'll come to a store. Go in the store and you'll buy vitamins (ammo) for your Vitablaster (created by orange jelly beans). Step 26: Your job in the Night World is now complete. Feed the blob a root beer jelly bean to turn it into a rocket. Jump on the rocket, and you'll soar over to the Day World. _---------------------_ \ B: Day World / \___________________/ Step 1: Whistle to the blob so it isn't a rocket anymore. Feed the blob a coconut jelly bean to turn it into a coconut. Pick up the coconut and go to the far left of the screen. Run to the right. Before you go off the screen, throw the coconut. As long as the coconut goes onto the next screen before it hits the ground, the camera will follow the coconut. It will roll past all the obstacles. Once the coconut goes into the corn fields, you can whistle to the blob. Step 2: Go right to the cornfields. As you go through the cornfields, there will be bouncing popcorn similar to the worms in the Night World. Move right past the popcorn, making sure it doesn't hit you. You'll go out of the cornfields and into a building. Step 3: Position the blob near the left side of the center of the screen. Feed the blob a tangerine jelly bean to turn it into a trampoline. Jump on the trampoline and go up one screen. There will be a candy cane you can get onto.

Go right one screen and walk past the switch. You'll turn the machine below you off. Feed the blob a vanilla jelly bean to turn it into an umbrella. Pick up the umbrella and walk one screen to the right. You'll fall down one screen. Step 4: The screen you're on will look quite familiar, as it is the same as the screen two screens to the left. Repeat step 3 again to get past this part. Step 5: Go right two screens to enter a cave. Step 6: Go right one screen and you'll find mashing teeth. Carefully run through the four teeth and go right one screen. You'll find another set of mashing teeth. Run through this one as well and go right one screen.

Step 11: Time for the final encounter. The blob is trapped in a cage. Look carefully, and you'll see a jar of vitamins above the cage. Whistle to the blob. Feed the blob an apple jelly bean. You'll need to run as you throw the jelly bean as you did with the coconut in step 1 of the Day World. The blob will move to the right of the cage and turn into a jack. The blob will knock the jar of vitamins down, and save Blobolonia. -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~ Section 4: Lists -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~ This section has a list of items. _---------------------_ \ A: Jelly Beans / \___________________/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jelly Bean's Flavor | Blob transforms into: | Purpose of Blob's Form | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Licorice | Ladder | Climb up ledges | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Strawberry | Bridge | Cross gaps | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Coconut | Coconut | The camera follows a | | | | rolling coconut | | | | Use to look ahead | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cola | Bubble | Go underwater | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cinnamon | Blow Torch | Burn webs | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Apple | Jack | Move objects above blob | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Lime | Key | Unlock doors | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Vanilla | Umbrella | Block falling objects and| | | | fall slowly | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tangerine | Trampoline | Jump up great heights | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Root Beer | Rocket | Move between worlds | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Honey | Hummingbird | Lets blob fly up to you | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ketchup | N/A | Blob appears where thrown| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Punch | Hole | Fall through floors | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Orange | Vitablaster | Shoots vitamins | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _---------------------_ \ B: Other Items / \___________________/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Item Name | Purpose | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jellybean Bag | Contains jelly beans | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Treasure | Buys items at Health Foods Store | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Vitamins | Shoot from Vitablaster | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~ Section 5: Other Information -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~ This section includes contact information and copyright information.
