Revision History --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01. Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LocoRoco Midnight Carnival may appears to be a cute little game but it is not meant for everyone. The game is very hard to master if you are not willing to spend lots of effort perfecting your game play. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02. Controls --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game controls are quite simple. Left Trigger - tilt the screen left Right Trigger - tilt the screen right Press and release both Left & Right Trigger - jump Tap Circle - break a large LocoRoco into smaller LocoRocos Press and hold Circle - merge all the small Locorocos into one. First of all, you may want to master the jump. Depending on when you release the triggers, the LocoRoco will jump a different height. At time, You need to learn how to control the magnitude of your jumps when clearing certain stages. Wall jumps - this can be done by tilting and releasing the triggers alternatively. For example, perform a jump toward the right wall, hold the right trigger. when the LocoRoco hit the right wall, release the right trigger and hold the left trigger. When it hits the left wall, release the left trigger and hold the right trigger. etc. Boing - Each time you jump sucessfully, your boing counter will increases, up to a maximum of 100. After that, you will get +1000 to your score for each successful boing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03. Stages --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are a total of 16 Stages in this game. The next level is unlocked once you complete a level. Scoring mechanism: Boing from start to end: +100000 Touch the hidden MuiMui in a stage: +100000 Collect all berries: +100000 Collect all pickories : +100000 If you had played a LocoRoco game before, you will know that it can be quite difficult to describe exactly what you should do in a stage. So this time round, I will be providing video walkthroughs of some stages using some of the best players' replays. The videos will be uploaded by me and hosted by YouTube. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stage 01 Chapo-Whar 1 Gold Medal Time: 0:40 Gold Medal Score: 450000 Hidden pickories From the starting area, go to the place right before a small gap.
