1.Introduction
Well, I like side scrollers. Most of them at 
least...*coughyoshisstoryislousycough* but for the most part I like 
them. And I think anime looks kewlos...so, that makes this an easy 
favorite, with loads of replay, etc. and I got it new for just $10 
stinkin bucks too...:D Whee! So, I might as well write a FAQ on it, as 
I just got the last 2 Golden Gems yesterday...and I did cheat too...=b 
but anywayz. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.Items
Red Gems:
Very frequent item, get it when you see it. These are used to continue. 
Get 10 for a normal continue (one life full) 50 for a continue that 
will give you 2 lifes, and 100 for one with 3 lifes. Also, you have to 
have 10 to get a hint from Ms. Hint.

Blue Gems:
These will recover a small amount of your health.

Green Gems:
Rare, These will recover about one fourth of your health. Very useful. 
Get these no matter what if you are low on health.

Golden Gems:
VERY RARE!!! Do whatever you can to get these. They give lots of 
health, and the more you have, the more of the ending you will see. You 
can go back for them if you missed them. There is only one in each 
level, and there is one in every level except "credits". Yes, even one 
hidden in the ending...

Clanpot:
This is an odd thing. A pot with red eyes, and a mouth. Throw items 
into it, and they stay in there. When holding onto it, you can press 
down once and hold it and it will show you what you have inside. When 
you have it held, press down rapidly to mix together items if they are 
inside to get another item, if you have the right items inside. Man, 
that just confused me...and I'm writin this stinkin thing!!!

Bomb:
Yellow at the top and bottom, red in between. Grab it, and throw. It 
explodes when it hits something, or if it's been placed by an enemy. 
This is one of the things that is used in clanpots to mix.

Flower:
Seemingly pointless, you can pick it up and throw it into clanpots for 
nice mixing.

Hat:
This is like the flower. Just good for mixing. Nothing else but mixing.

ClanBomb:
This is like the normal bombs, except this can destroy the red 
clanblocks. It also has a timer. Shake it for the timer to go down much 
quicker.

Boomerang:
Useful item, use it to clear out enemies. It goes back to where you 
threw it. If only I could get my boomerangs to come back...

Machine Gun:
Once you get it, it automatically goes shooting happy. Just keep 
walking around, it will clear out the enemies. It disapears after 
awhile. If you shake, it will not go too far in front, but will also go 
a ways to the top, and to the bottom. I recommend using the mode where 
it is going in three directions. Very useful at times.

Missile Pod:
Once you get it, it automatically goes missile happy. Keep walking, it 
keeps shooting. Shake it, and it will do as good as it can to lock on 
to enemies. VERY USEFUL. Use this gun whenever you see it. Always use 
lock on mode. It will disappear after awhile.

Clanball:
It's a ball sitting in the air. What in the world should we do...GRAB 
IT!!! Use these to carry yourself in parts. Shake them. Sometimes they 
drop useful items.

Shrukien:
A spinning spikey silver silly shooting star. Try saying that 3 times 
fast, why don't yah...

Lunar's Missiles:
Grab it. Now throw it back to Lunar. Simple. Now, if you want more 
damage and more range, shake. It grows. Keep shaking as long as it 
keeps growing. Also, try jumping on them...

Lunar's Rifle:
Just like a normal gun. Except it will automaticly aim at Lunar. Kewl. 
You know those big fireballs Lunar makes? Try shaking it awhile and 
then jump and stop shaking...

Tarus' Rocks:
Grab them, and throw them back.

Merco's Shield:
To get this, grab it, then yank away. Throw it at him. Not too 
powerful. Can't be used offensively either, contrary to it being a 
shield. Odd...

Merco's Golden Spear:
To get this, once you have yanked away his shield, play around with 
yanking at certain times. You will eventually after a few hits most 
likely, get it. It is much more powerful then the shield. Use it 
instead of the shield if you get the chance.

Words In Bubbles:
Grab these, and shake them. They change into something different. Ex: 
Pain changes into Healing I believe...maybe it was another...but 
anyway, shake, throw back the nice word, and it will hurt him. Bad ones 
don't.

4.Characters
Ultra-Intergalactic-Cybot-G, Marina Liteyears
This is who you play as in the game. She's a robot, made by Professor 
Theo. He made her to help him. It turns out she does a lot more than 
the around the house dusting she use to do!

Professor Theo
He learned about the problem on the planet of the Clancers, and came to 
rescue them. But it turns out he needs the rescuing in the end! 

The Clancers
The Clancers are a peace-loving species like us, except they look far 
different. They look like a white ball with eyes, and clothes. Most are 
bad. They are those who decided to turn evil, and help a mysterious 
enemy...few good ones are left.

Aster The King
Aster, is the king of the Clancers, and he was a great king, but he 
mysteriously disappeared in a cave a long time ago...Marina will have 
to find him if she plans to return peace to the land.

Celes, or Ondine, The Princess
She is the Princess, but she is really upset, as she doesn't have a Dad 
now and she really misses him...where could he have gone?

Teran/Blockman
Teran or Blockman, whichever you want to call him (I'll call him Teran 
for simplicity's sake) is a Clancer too, but, this one is a good one. 
Totally good. He helps Marina lots. He is the brother of Celes. or is 
he...???

Migen Sr.
He is a magician, and has the power to control his son's physical 
attacks, as well as some attacks of his own, but he isn't that quick...

Migen Jr.
He is the son of Migen Sr., but he isn't very smart without his Dad to 
help him aim and time his attacks. Otherwise, he goes crazy trying to 
hit the opponent with his small patience.

Lunar
He is the general of the military. He has all kinds of guns, and 
weapons. He is very strong, and only rivaled by the leader of the army 
and air force. He is a coyote. He has a robot which helps him, and it's 
name is Cerebus a.

Tarus
Tarus is the general of the army. He isn't the quickest person ever, 
but he is strong as heck. He wears robotic armor and it makes him look 
like a monkey, but he is stronger than anyone else, even the mysterious 
force turning the clancers into bad guys... he also has a robot, and it 
is Sasquatch b.

Merco
Merco is the general of the air force. He is a falcon, and has a 
gigantic golden spear. His robot is Phoenix r. He can fly, and is the 
most swift of the three generals.

Calina
This is a robot clone of Marina, who causes trouble for you in the 
game.

Ms. Hint
It is like a clanball, but it has a bow on it's head. Shake it. If you 
have 10 red gems, she will give you a hint. But as I will list what she 
says in the levels she says it, you don't really need to except if you 
just are bored and want to...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5.Story
 The Professor and Marina were flying in their house, which is also a 
spaceship (handy) to planet Clancer, to try to help the Clancers which 
were having battles about something or other. Being the nice, helpful, 
and lazy person the professor is, he decided to go help.

 That wasn't the smartest thing. After going there, Marina went out to 
go scout out the outsides to make sure it was okay there. In the 
meantime, the inhabitants rang the doorbell. Being the fat, lazy and 
stupid guy the professor is, he opened the door. Bad move No. 2. They 
quickly attacked him, and took him captive, while he was too lazy to 
get out of the way.

 Now Marina walks in the door. She sees there is no Professor. Okay. 
Wait...no professor...NO PROFESSOR?!?!?! She quickly runs outside, to 
see that the Clancers are taking him captive and flying away. Now she 
must try to keep up with them. But soon, she realizes she isn't quick 
enough...and thus the game begins.

7.Strategy

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\Planet Clancer/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Meet Marina!

Gold Gem: Find any Clancer, and pick him up and carry him. Take him to 
that statue. Now throw him into it. It will break and reveal a gold 
gem! Easy, huh?
Strategy: Just simply go through the level to the end, and talk to 
Geold. He will give you a clanbomb. Go to the big stack of red 
clanblocks and throw the clanbomb at them. They will break. Now grab 
the warp star. It will warp you to the end star.
NOTE: In one part, near the statue you break for the Gold Gem, you see 
a gold gem inside a building. It isn't avalable for you to get, but in 
a later level in Planet Clancer, you can get it when you come back.

Meet Calina!

Gold Gem: In one part, a Clancer tells you about how to slider jump. Do 
that on his house to land on a place with a gold gem.
Strategy: Walk through the level. Go through the star, and talk to the 
Clancers. After awhile you find the end star in the hospital.

Clanball Land
Gold Gem: In one area, there are roller coasters of clanballs. Jump on 
the yellow one. Try shaking it! It drops a clanbomb! So when you go 
over some red blocks, shake it with the right timing. It will make a 
warp. Jump in the warp. It takes you where the gold gem is.
Strategy: Shake the ball at the top. Now go in the star it made. Find 
the roller coaster to the right, and get on the white one. Shake it, 
and let it ride you to where a white clanball appeared. Shake it. Now 
go to where the merry-go-round and shake the one there. Now a star 
appears in the area to the far right. Go there, and warp in it. It 
takes you to the end of this annoying level.

Spike Land
Gold Gem: It's in plain sight! HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE IT! :b
Strategy: Just follow the path laid out. Is it that hard?

3 Clancer Kids
Gold Gem: After rescuing the children, the mom mentions something about 
the father and wondering where he is, in such a manner that it seems 
more of a stupid comment than anything. Well it isn't. Go over to where 
the spring is, and tilt it to the right. Now launch it. Now get the 
clanbomb out of the clanbox, and jump down. Now follow where running 
clancer's path was and throw it at the red wall. Now shake him. Then 
carry him back.
Strategy: Get the kids for the mom Clancer. One is jumping over fire, 
another running around on some platforms at the far right, one is 
directly above the start, which you get to by using a spring Clancer. 
Grab one at a time and take them back.

Blockman Rises
Gold Gem: One brown Clancer has it. Just shake him. If you kill him 
accidentally, just restart the level.
Strategy: Okay. If you can't beat this, nothing can help you. Just sit 
down, get a Pepsi, and just watch TV. It will all be OKAY...uhm....Just 
simply get on Teran and press right until:
1.your fingers have blisters
2.You get to the end

Wormin' Up!
Gold Gem: Just shake the worm.
Strategy: Just keep slamming him to the ground. The quickest way is by 
doing it downwards repeatedly. If you need it to save quickly, for one 
reason or another like because you have lots of red gems, and have to 
turn the N64 off, this is a easy place to do quick and get it to save.

Crisis: Nepton
Gold Gem: Just do the level, and if the guys don't get hit too much, 
and sit down and start crying or something, you get it. One way that 
usually works for me is to right off from the start, grab the smaller 
Clancer that is helping you and go over to the far left. Now jump and 
throw him straight down. For some odd reason, he stays. The other 
Clancer is useful for a long distance weapon. If he gets close to you, 
just grab and throw him across. Doing the thing to the little Clancer 
makes it so there is one less Clancer to worry about getting hurt. 
Always stay on the left edge, so that when bad Clancers come close, 
they won't be able to get to him, as when someone punches him, he stops 
spinning.
Strategy: Just kill all the cowboy Clancers that come down.

Western World
Gold Gem: Go until you get to the clanbox with the clanbomb. Now carry 
it across the floating platforms, until you get to an area with red 
blocks covering the entrance to the gold gem. Blow up the first row, 
then do it again for the second row.
Strategy: Go through until you get to a bunch of cowboy Clancers, kill 
the big one, then carry a bomb from the clanbox to the end, and blow up 
the red wall.

Volcano!
Gold Gem: Follow some floating platforms in an area to the top, and 
then to the beginning. It will be on the last one.
Strategy: Just keep going right, dodging rocks that fall.

8.Best times (need contributions here)
In the game, you get rankings on how quick you beat a level. The best 
is S, which is near impossible to get. Here is a list of the levels, 
and if someone sends them to me, their time that they have if they have 
an S.

Rules:
1.NO CHEATING DEVICES. Period. Gameshark, etc. Nothing like that. These 
are times made by work, not slopping a code or 2 in so you get a 
0:00.00 time etc.
2.Don't lie. If you have a real time that got you a great time, send it 
in. If you don't really have a real time that got you one, don't.

Now, if all the above rules are met, send me the time at: 
rwad64@ignmail.com and I will put it on here. If it seems unbelievable, 
explain what made it so much quicker.
