---------------------------- Intro ---------------------------- Hey, hey, its me again! I've had a GBC for a long time, and it is awesome. To tell you everything, I'll have to write this faq. Most of this information comes from the official GBC book, so don't fret if you hear different informationon a code. This is pretty organized, but it you should check the contents to navigate. Now on with the faq!
---------------------------- Games ----------------------------
To get to these games, go to play on the menu. They are rated * to *****, 1 star being easy, 5 being hard. They are rated by how easy it is to get their first album B picture. (see "Secrets")
Ball**** Get to this game by shooting the spaceship labeled with a "B". This is a game where your game face juggles. Somewhere around catch #78 is a toughie. Remeber, the one on the outside is always on the outside, same with the other two balls.
Dj (not rated because it isn't really a game) Ooooh, how fun. Get here by shooting spaceship "D".When you first make a tune, press select. Pick a slot, hold a on it, and press left or right to select a not. Press select to do the same. I never really mess with any other things. Ok, now go back to the main screen, and your groovy rhythm will be on there. Now go all the way right and press right again to scratch. You can do the same on left.
Space Fever II** This is fun. To get here do not shoot the spaceships that are labeled. After they fly back, two aircrafts will come. Shoot them down and more come. This is wave #1. This is easier (and it gives you more points) if you shoot your first bullet before, and then when they come close together, shoot. You will kill them both in one shot becuase every second shot will shoot double. Wave #2 is goblin looking things. Actually it is three spaceships. The first two should be handled with a double, and the head with your single. Then the boss. The easiest and most effeciant is to tap A as fast as you can, and just sit there. Your shots will block his. The first boss is a guy with horns, second a guy with a hat, and third you! Boy, what a mouthful.
Run! Run! Run! ***** This game sucks. I mean really. The only way I can beat this is with a Super Game Boy and a Turbo Controller. You tap A, and press up and tap B when you see a hurdle, and you race a groundhog and a bird. I hate this game.
---------------------------- Fun with Pictures ----------------------------
Trick Lenses
Lens 1- Mirrors the right side onto the left Lens 2- Mirrors left side onto the right Lens 3- Mirrors bottom part up to the top Lens 4- Mirrors top part dowm to the bottom Lens 5- Makes the subject slim and skinny Lens 6- Makes the subject fat Lens 7- Magnifies the picture or get a close up Lens 8- You get 4 of the same pictures and squish them into one Lens 9- You get 4 different pictures and squish them into one
Montage
Lens 1- 2 images on the left and right half of the screen Lens 2- one image on top, the other on bottom Lens 3- split screen into fourths, and the first picture is the top left and lower right. The next snap will fill the remainers Lens 4- See Trick Lens 9 Lens 5- Divides the screen in two, but the top part is 2/3 of the screen Lens 6- Splits the picture into thirds, one atop of another Lens 7- Splits the picture into two parts. One is the interior, and one is like a frame- but thicker
Paranorma Allows you to take pictures up to four picture lengths wide, or tall. First take 2-4 pictures, in line either verticly or horizontaly. You can take these manually or where it says lens select wide or tall, then press a. After that, go back to the menu, and where it says print, select wide or tall then put the pictures you took in the different slots. Now print.
Game Face This is where you shoot the face that will appear in every mini-game you play. When you shoot, take the first three pictures of you regularly, but make the last one like your dead, becuase that is what will appear when you lose.
---------------------------- d. Secrets ----------------------------
Album B Pictures
B-17 Wario- shoot 60 pictures B-18 Mario- delete 60 pictures B-19 Luigi & Princess- transfer 15 pictures B-20 Lion Head- recieve 5 pics from males B-21 Boy & Rubber Band- recieve 5 pics from females B-22 Boy & Flying Saucer- print 30 pictures B-23 Bear & Guy- 3,000 points in Space Fever II B-24 Baby Wario- 5,000 points in Space Fever II B-25 Japanesse GBC- 7,000 points in Space Fever II B-26 Robot- 500 points in ball B-27 Big Boo- 700 points in ball B-28 Toad- 1,000 points in ball B-29 Old Mario & DK- Finish Run! Run! Run! in 17 seconds B-30 Winged Mario- Finish Run! Run! Run! in 16 seconds
Animation Speeds Some animations in the game can go faster or slower if you press up or down. Try the dancing Mario, the view screen with the guy with the big mouth, the credits, and the slide show!
Run! Run! Run! To access Run! Run! Run!, beat Space Fever two with over 2,000 points. This game sucks, but is neccacary if you want all of the album B pictures.
Dj Print To print your Dj music, press select to get to Sound 1, then hold down start and press A.\
Mirror Stamp This is useful for phrases that need apostrophes. Just select a stamp as usual, select where to put it, and hold A. After a few seconds it will turn around. Now let go of A.
Getting the Real Credits To get the credits instead of the dancing guy, beat Run! Run! Run! in less then 22 seconds. What's weird is after a while in the special thanks it will mention Nirvana. Nirvana, the band? Yup. But if you miss the dancing guy he is still there at the end of the credits.
Test Print On your GBP, turn it off, hold feed, turn it back on, and after a few lines you'll get a special message from Mario!
Wild Frames Go to album and select a picture to print, then press select. This will take you to a place where you can select normal or wild frames. Wild frames are cool, they have Zelda and Yoshi and stuff.
Printing & Trading is fun, and essential in getting the album B pictures. Anyway, wouldn't the GBC kinda suck without these features? You'll need a game link for these, though. Don't worry, one comes with a printer.
Printing You are going to need a printer. It comes with a game link. There are alot of ways to get to the print, like check, view, or going to edit, then link, then print. It's actually really simple. A printer costs about $50-$60 last time I checked.
Trading This is harder to get to. It took me a while to figure out(quit laughing) Press select at the main screen, goto link, then to transfer. You'll see two guys with hammers. If you want choose what picture to send or get, pick before your friend does. If all goes well both cameras will display "good".
If you want to ask a question, E-mail me at flizard64@yahoo.com, and I will gladly reply and put it up here, _unless_ the question is already here, then I will gladly delete it.
Q. What are the mini games for? A. Mini-games are for fun, mostly, and for getting Album B pictures.
Q. What is Album B? A. Album B is where secret pictures are found. 16 are already there, but the other 14 need to be accessed by certain requirments.
Q. How do I print or edit an Album B picture? A. You must copy it to Album A.
Q. How do you copy? A. Goto studio (press select at the main screen), then Album. Where it says delete, click there, and it will say copy. Now you can copy any picture, even in Album B!
Q. Why won't my regular GB connect to my GB pocket? A. Your going to have to buy a universal cable.
Q. How do you recieve pics "from male" or "from female"? A. The person sending them must have already put in their name and sex. If not, it won't count.
Q. This camera would be alot cooler if you could turn it away from you. A. Thats not a question, but you can. Just turn it the way the arrow is pointing, not the other way!
Q. How do you (insert stupid question here)? A. I don't know, how do you say idiot?
Q. How do you (insert question answered in this faq)? A. How do you read?
---------------------------- Pictures to Keep ----------------------------
This is a list of cool and unique things to do with a Game Boy Camera, most of them from the book.
1. Weird controllers: If you have an N64, or another Game Boy, use Trick Lens 1 or 2 to make 2 D-pads, or 2 button sides!
2. Whoa! I'm all freaky! Just goto shoot and then turn the camera to you. Then press select and choose negative or the third pallette and take a self-portrait. Then go back to paint and paint all the colors over the backround. Just mess around. Use stamps and stuff to make it look FREAKY!
3. Infared In any picture, put the contrast to the rightmost part, and select a special pllette, preferrably the third.
4. Wiener Dog (or cat, or iguana) First goto paranorma, snd then select shoot(wide). Then take a picture of you pet's head and forearms; then the empty space on their belly, but it twice; then the back legs and tail. Then print and your dog/cat/iguana will be longer than usual(scare you aunt!).
5. GBC People Do montage Lens 2, and then take a picture of another GBC's top part (the parts that show when the GBC is fully inserted) and the bottom part someones torso.
More to come!
