Guide/Walkthrough
By: Addy Walker addywalker1@hotmail.com
LEVEL 1:
Right this level is rather tricky, but can be mastered within a few attempts. First of all jump into the blue block wall, and then climb up ontop of the ledge. Run across the rope holding down the 'B' Button to keep your balance. Now here is the tough part! Jump onto the platform which is moving up and down, take a few seconds rest and then jump to the next one. Darkman must not have very good trainers on because his grip isn't very good...so beware! Once you've jumped across the two platforms make a leap to the silver ledge and walk across collecting the blue item to complete the level!
LEVEL 2:
Right this one is fairly simple and I completed it in 18 seconds. You might die the first or second time you try, but it is very simple. All you have to do is jump onto the metal platform, and follow the direction arrows painted on the wall to guide Darkman safely to the end of level 2. Simple, eh?
LEVEL 3:
Ok, you start off on a metal platform. Leap onto the platform below, and attack the thug by repeatedly pressing the 'A' Button. The thug will die after 5 hits. Climb onto the brick wall dodging the red balloon, and collecting the blue jar. Walk across the rope, keeping your balance by tapping the 'B' Button so that the gauge stays in the center. The length of your jumps is important here. Leap onto the silver moving platform, but ignore the one moving in front of you. Jump off, onto the metal floor and kill the thug. It is best if you attack him near the end of the platform because he might fly off after about 1 or 2 hits. Jump across and climb up the wall, and you will see that there is a thug waiting for you. Wait till he is at the other side of the platform, climb up and attack him from behind until he is dead. Pause the game and take a rest. Now look over at the platform you are about to jump on and you'll notice there is a little patch of fire moving across it. Make sure you avoid this, and leap across to another piece of land. Jump across to the next platform avoiding the fire, and then onto the next. Leap across to the end of the screen to complete level 3!!
LEVEL 4:
In this level you are in control off a camera. The more pictures you take of Pauly, the more time you will have to gain your revenge. Pauly has a shaven head is wearing a blue jumper. The best thing to do is to just move across the screen taking pictures...the chances are you will get him quite alot. Depending on how many photos you took of him, your new mask will be graded. Don't worry if you get a rating of poor, as I did, because it doesn't really matter anyway because I found no difference when I got a good grade.
LEVEL 5:
This level is based outside in the woods. Just look at them brilliant backgrounds...the best I have ever seen in a NES Game! Ok, move to the right and kill the wondering man. Climb up the wood and walk across the bark jumping over the spinning blade. Ignore the pink jar on the higher ledge, just jump onto the lower ledge. Leap onto the wood and climb up it killing the man. Jump across onto the bark and walk across, killing the man and dodging the red and white balls. Ignore the floating ledge, just drop down onto the ground, but beware there is man to your right carrying a gun. One hit of this gun and your dead. Kill the gun holding man and jump across onto the wood which is floating in the water. Avoid the spinning blade and leap across, climbing up the wood. Drop down and kill the man from behind. Jump onto the moving platform and then run to the end of the screen to complete level 5!
LEVEL 6:
This level is tricky!!! Climb up the piece of wood, avoiding to get hit by the fish, when the man on the platform turns his back jump up and attack him. Jump across to your left and wait for the rock to fall down and break, then climb up. Do the exact same thing but on the right side of the screen. Jump onto the moving platform, then climb up the wood. Don't bother climbing up onto the platform, as their is a spinning blade there. Just jump straight across onto the other piece of wood and climb up, killing the man (WARNING: He has a gun...I advise you creep up on him and kill him). Leap onto the moving platform, wait until the other platform is in jumping distance and leap onto it and climb up the wood and kill the man. Jump onto the piece of land towards your left. Jump across killing the man. Climb up the wood and when the man has his back turned jump on the ledge and kill him. Jump from platfrom to platform until your at the top and that's level 6 complete!
LEVEL 7:
Kill the man jump across the platform, ride the piece of land and your now on the floating log. Jump down and then across, killing the man (He's quite hard to kill). Then climb up the wood towards your right and kill another man. Run across dodging the blade and then climb the piece of wood. Kill the man and then drop down off the ledge (Ignore the moving platform). Move across the screen dodging the spinning blade, and run across the ground. You now have to fight Pauly. He is dressed the smae as you. It can be quite tricky to kill him. My advice is to hit him and then back off, hit him and then back off. After a numerous amount of shots he will be dead. And that's level 7 complete!
LEVEL 8:
This level is very fun!!! You are hanging down from a helicopter...you must dodge items around the screen as you will get knocked of the rope. Pressing the 'B' Button makes you able to collect items as your being pulled along. Get ready! You must concentrate. When the level starts stay at the BOTTOM of the screen and collect the coins, then quickly move back up avoiding getting hit the front of the truck. That's all I can really tell you, as this level moves so fast you won't even have time to look down at this walkthrough. Just don't take your eyes of the screen and avoid the Birds, Bikers, Blue Balls And trucks whilst collecting everything else. It isn't as hard as you think. When you finish the levelthe computer will do the rest of the moving for you. Well done you have just completed level 8!!
LEVEL 9:
This is another camera level. You must take pictures of Durant's one legged Henchman. Henchman hasgot short shiny black hair, wears a blue jumper and is wearing black shades. Just try your best in finding him. I can't help you out here, because the level is different everytime I play it. Good luck!! Again if you get a poor mask rating don't worry. It doesn't really matter. Onto Level 10.
LEVEL 10:
You are now in a fun house. This is quite a tricky level. First of all leap onto the two springs and bounce across the screen until you land on the platform. Wait for the little black bowling ball to roll towards you and then leap over it. When the evil clown has his back turned jump onto the platform and shoot him (WARNING: Because your gun is so powerful when you pull the trigger, Darkman flys backwards. Be careful not to fall of the platform.) Next jump onto the platform with the arrows pointing to the left. When you do this hold down the right directional button to move across it because if you don't you will just slide off. Leap onto the piece of land and then use the spring to jump high and far. You will land in the center of a platform with the arrows pointing to the left. Hold down the right directional button to move across it and then jump onto the two blocked platform. Jump far across to your left, jump to your left again then jump onto the spring. You wil land on a platform. Hold the left key to move across it and then jump. Jump onto the platform with the arrows pointing left and hold the right directional key, then jump onto the platform, avoiding the ballons and you've just now completed Level 10!!
LEVEL 11:
Bounce across on the springs, not too far, land on the second pair of springs, then bounce onto the third and then the fourth. You will land on a white and red striped ball. Using the 'B' Button, keep your balance and when it gets to the end of the track leap onto the platform. Avoiding getting hit by the balloons jump across onto the next platform and then onto the next. While your there kill the clown who is on the next platform, ducking and dodging his weapons. Leap onto the next platform and while your there kill the guy who is dressed exactly the same as you, jumping over his bullets. This shouldn't take long and is a easy task. Then stand on the red and white striped ball and use the 'B' Button to keep your balance make your way to the end of the level. You've now finished level 11!!
LEVEL 12:
This level is simple!! Jump onto the metal platform and follow the arrows painted on the wall. Youwill porbably need a few attempts at first, but keep trying and you shall finish this level in no time!!! Good luck. (ADVICE: When you start jump onto the platform to your right, as the left one is a dead end and when it gets to the second piece of land go on the platform to your left!) Onto Level 13:
LEVEL 13:
This is another camera level. Remember what I told you before...just keep taking pictures and don't worry about what rating mask you will get. The targer (Smiley) is wearing a blue jacket, has short black hair and is wearing dark shades. Good luck with this task!
LEVEL 14:
You are now in china town. When the level first starts jump to avoid the ninja's weapon. Kill the blue masked ninja and collect the 2 throwing objects. Jump across collecting the clock, and avoiding the spikes and rocket. Jump across collecting the blue jars and avoiding the rockets. Keep going right, avoiding rockets, collecting clocks and blue jars. Dont worry about killing the blue masked Ninjas, just ignore them and this level will be over in no time. This in fact is one of the shortest levels in the game.
LEVEL 15:
When this level starts make your way to the left. Dodge all of the Ninja's throwing weapons and collect the blue jars. When you see a clock be sure to collect it as these are very important. Don't waste your time killing the Ninja's as they can easily be jumped over. Rockets keep flying fast and furious always be alert and ready to leap over them. Stand on the ledges and make your way across them (You need to get on the ledges as there is water below), dodge all the weapons and leap to the end of the screen and that's Level 15 complete!
LEVEL 16:
Make your way to the right, collecting the throwing weapons and blue jars. Then leap onto the high ledge at the top of the screen and carry on going right and jump across. Duck the two rockets coming and kick the Ninja to death. Carry on going right collect the blue jars and dodge the rockets. There is around four or five Ninjas around but try not to get hit by them, just simply keep jumping over their heads. If you want to throw the weapons which you have collected. These are effective on the Ninja's and only take one hit to kill them. You are then faced by a man in the same clothes as you (It's the person you are in disguise). He is tought to kill. Kick he a few times, and if you have any throwing weapons left use them. His kicks seem to be more powerful than your's. Jump over the weapons he throws and throw your own. When you finally kill him, pause the game and take a rest as you deserve it!!! Right Level 17 next up....
LEVEL 17:
This is another helicopter level. This time the action is much faster and more difficult. Like I said before I can't really walk you through this level as the action is to fast and everything is hard to record. If you don't feel confident enough about this level just choose a section of the screen to stay at and then every now and then move. You never know were the birds are going to appera. It's a fifty percent chance. Go on have a go!! After you have died once or twice you will know the route better. Right now were on Level 18...
LEVEL 18:
This is another camera level, although this time the target is Durrant. He is wearing a blue waist coat and has short black hair and his big dark eyes. Just try and take random pictures around the screen and you'll hit him once or twice. Remember the mask level you will receive doesn't really effect you in the game so do no worry. Well done you are now on Level 19!!
LEVEL 19:
Jump onto the platform and take a left. There is nothing really more which I can tell you. It's just a matter of trial and error. For each track there is two possible ways of going. You will most probably die the first or second time you play this level but believe me, it is simple! Just choose a random way to go and if it doesn't work, try the other way the next time you try. If you keep doing this you will easily complete the level. (WANING: You have to be fast completiting this level as it is timed! You will only have a few seconds left after you've completed level. So if you need a break, believe me...pause it!!)
LEVEL 20:
First of all jump over the crushing device and then jump onto the little handrails and pull yourself across. Ignore the red jars below, just keep crawling across avoiding the little gadgets bullets. Jump onto the moving platform and leap across to the piece of land ahead. Drop down and creep up on the thug (WARNING: He throws weapons) and shoot him three or four times and he will die. Jump across the gap ignoring the red jar above, leap over the crushing devie and climb up the thin metal railings. This next part can be quite tricky. Jump onto the moving platform, and time your jump perfectly to land on the next one. Climb across the hand rails, drop down onto the piece of metal land below and drop across to your right to complete Level 20!! Right, onto Level 21.
LEVEL 21:
Jump onto the platform and take a left. Collect the red jars. Jump onto the platform and take a left turn upwards and then left again. Collect the red jars. Jump on the platform following the ways on the track. Collect the red jars. Avoid the little bullet-shooting gadget. Leap onto the platform take a right and there. Your finished level 21. That has to be the easiest level in the game. Even easier than level 2. Right now it gets tough!!!
LEVEL 22:
Crawl across the railings avoiding the shooting gadgets. Climb onto the hand rail and begin climbing up. When your at the top avoid the thugs bullets and shoot them. If they shoot you off, you will probably hand on anway. After four or five shots the thugs will be dead. Walk across to your left, then jump onto the first floating platform, this will drop pretty quickly so you have to jump to pretty fast. Then jump from the second platform to the third and leap onto the land. Walk to your left and jump over the crushing device. Crawl across the handrails ignoring the thugs and red jars below. Avoid the little gadgets blue bullets. Make sure that when you drop down you don't land on the little silver machine. Jump across and crawl upwards on the handrail. Climb up and kill the thug. This should take four shots of your gun exactly. Bounce on the spring up onto the piece of land. Make your way across and jump on the moving platform and leap onto the next one. Jump onto the highest ledge, collect the red jar and kill the thug. Then move across the screen (left) and jump on the mvoing platform, and quickly jump onto the still platform. (WARNING: This drops quickly, so you have to be fast) Then you have to kill peyton. He's obviously dressed the same as you. STjis guy is very tough!!! When you jump onto the platform he will shoot you. There is no way in hell you can dodge it. But just charge at thim and keep attacking. It taskes around 10 or 11 hits to finally kill him. He will most probably won't wear out your energy, he will 9 times out of 10 just kick you of the side. But once you have finally killed him (it takes time...ohh believe me), walk to the end of the platform...and guess what? You have just completed Darkman!!Now for the FAQ:
