INTRODUCTION/GETTING STARTED =============================================================================== Learn all that you can about the game we call: "Bonk's Adventure". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A1. Introduction to Bonk's Adventure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're here, looking for some FAQs, when something strikes your attention. There are barely any FAQs/Walkthroughs for the Turbo Grafx 16 System! You're flabbergasted! How could this be? You had one of these systems yourself, and you loved it! Something has to be done! Is this why you're here? If so, you're not alone. The Turbo Grafx 16 was my first Video Game Console, and one of my all-time favourites. Bonk.. Bomberman.. Even Keith Courage caught your eye. You didn't care that the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis Systems were being released.. you stuck by your favourite system. Too bad nobody else did. I decided that the Turbo Grafx 16 did not recieve as much credit as it deserved. Thus, I wanted to create some FAQs for my favourite Turbo Grafx 16 games... But where to start? When my dad bought me a Turbo Grafx 16, he took a chance. A system noone had heard of.. for Christmas. Would I be satisfied? Definitely. The system came with two games. Keith Courage, and World Class Baseball. Both hold a special place in my heart. The third game, however, brought me into the world of gaming. It was my first real favourite game. Bonk's Adventure. That's the reason that I am going to start with this game for my very first FAQ. Bonk's Adventure is an easy game. Don't get me wrong.. it's easy, but very fun. There are five levels. UNLIMITED continues. You get three lives per continue. Therefore, If you have patience, you will beat this game. There are five bosses for each level, and a variety of level types. This should be a fun game to whomever decides to play. It can get really addicting if you give it a chance. Well, thanks for reading the introduction. Now it's on to the content! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A2. Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, It's the 'author' again. Yes, I am aware that I did not note what the 'Turbo Switches do. I'll briefly explain them here. Turbo Switches (when switched different ways) allow Bonk to SPIN in the air repeatedly, while you hold down the 'Button II'. If it isn't switched, then he will spin once, then fall head-first to the ground. But remember: This is Bonk we're talking about. So naturally, he isn't hurt. / / F | | /----------------------------\ | Turbo Switches | | | | |--|-- [-] [-] | | | |-| |-| | | D E | \----------------------------/ A B C First of all: I apologize for my inability to ASCII-draw a decent Turbo Grafx 16 Controller. LABEL A: The D-Pad The D-Pad is used to move Bonk around (Left to Right), and to control his spinning. While swimming or climbing, down will lower Bonk, but to move up, use up in conjunction with Button I. Up also allows you to enter the skeletal elevators, and bonus enterances. Left and Right can be used to switch sides on the climbing levels like 2-6. LABEL B: Select Button To be blunt, this button is nearly useless. When you lose all three lives, and it shows the title screen, and then you press Run, and it gives you two options. 'Continue' and 'End Game' I believe. Use Select to switch between each choice. it's easier to just use the Up/Down on their respective places on the D-Pad. LABEL C: Run Button This button is used to pause during the game, and allows you to 'enter' your choices in the game. It works like the 'Start' button on a Super Nintendo, or the 'Enter' or 'Return' key on the keyboard. LABEL D: Button II Why does Button II come on the controller before Button I? I have no idea. Anyway.. Button II is the button that allows Bonk to headbutt! When in the air, if you repeatedly hit this button, Bonk will spin. (You can hold it down if the turbo switches are in play.) LABEL E: Button I This is the button that allows Bonk to Swim, Jump and Climb. It's arguably the most important button in the game. LABEL F: The Cord Do not leave the controller hanging so that someone can trip on this cord. It's not that long, so when pulled, it will send the system flying. Believe me.. I know. (Please note: The only reason this is here, is because this is how I lost my beloved system. My sister feels terrible as my dad played this system as much as I, if not more.) =============================================================================== B. MISCELLANEOUS =============================================================================== Here is the important (yet random) stuff! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B1. The Cast ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you defeat the game, the ENTIRE cast will scroll vertically throughout the screen. Pretty awesome in my opinion. Here is the cast, of Bonk's Adventure! Al. E. Gator - The alligators I try and get you to juggle at the very beginning of the game. Stu Stinger - The big dragonflies. Tommy Tic - Small tick-like creature that sort of reminds me of a grasshopper. Has more green than Terry Tac. Terry Tac - Small tick-like creature that sort of reminds me of a grasshopper. He is mostly brown. Also smaller than Tommy. Timmy Toe - Small flying tick-like creature with a huge yellow 'stinger' for a nose. (Tic Tac Toe) Freddy Frogger - The weird looking frog. Mini Mongoose - Remember that small, rounded tree, that when you bonked it, a small lizard thing would run out? That's Mini-Mongooose. The duo's name I suppose. Sally Slug - The blue slugs that were in Stage 1-3. I had no idea that she was female! The OopaLoopas - The round, red, ball, spinny things outlined in green, and the peach little cute things that appear when you bonk them. Sort of hard to explain. B. Lou Roach - A blue roach. Vertically impaired, Horizontally inclined. Henry Hatchet - The Egg Lizards I refer to in the walkthrough. Bill Duck - The birds, with the shells over their heads. They swoop down and peck you to death! More deadly than they sound. Fishbone - Fish with just the skeleton! The Squibbs - In Stage 1-3, they were the multiples of round zappers surrounding the heart and the Large Meat. The Squbbs - The thin Fish Bones that swim left to right. Andy Ammonite - The Blue Ink squirting sea creature. Funk E. Fish - The Green Fish that would Zap you. They also hang out in waterfalls. Jerry Jelly - The Jellyfish that are always hanging around the water levels. Blue Hawaii - By far my favourite enemy name in the entire game. This blue creature holds a harpoon which he will shoot at you. He wears goggles and everything! B. Ike Link - This is a weird enemy that looks like a bikechain. That's the only way to describe him. Crocket Dile - The horizontal croc that will attempt to swallow you whole! He fills King Drool's moat in front of his castle. Takes 5 solid bonks to defeat this creature. R. Ed Beaker - The Red Dinosaur creature who reminds me a lot of Bonk. Gary Geek - The Purple Kangaroo type enemy that debuts in the second stage. Egghead Errol - The Eggheaded purple dinosaur thing. His head is literally shaped like an egg. The Amigos - The names for the cacti throughout the game. The Uvulalas - The 'Pipes' in the bloodstream level. Roz Erback - A sunglasses wearing, annoying little wilderbeast/triceratops type-dude. Spike Sauros - The big green Triceratops throughout the game. They pack a mean punch. V.L. Chure - The mother birds of the groups of three little bird-dudes which debut in the second level. The Imps - Each little-bird dude. Lee Octness - The Big Blue Dino-Dude, with the purple cap, and orange goggles.. Not to mention a REAL long neck. He shoots water our of his head to help Bonk reach some higher items. T. Rex - The Stony, Tricaratops Statues that charge at you. Skins Kellyton - The walking skeleton creatures who walk on four legs. Sort of like the Fishbone on land. Red Riding Ape - The magical, purple Ape. He wears the really neat purple cape.. and vanishes and such. Twinkle Toes - In the second level, there are these big palm trees with faces. Bonk them, and they'll jump, and move back and forth as if it's dancing! It carries Bonk along so he can grab the high items. Twinkle Toes is cool in my book. Google Eyes - The pink flowery thing that will swoop down and attach to Bonk's head for two seconds. He will then transform into a Pink Flower Spring! Flora Springer - The Pink Flower Spring Floret Sprung - The Yellow Flower Spring Venus Bonktrap - The Skeleton, bouncers that hangout in some 'Flora Springers'. Huey - The boss of the first stage. He likes to blow bubbles, and stick up for people who cannot defend themselves. When he isn't brain-washed, he just hangs around as everyone's best friend. Gladdis - The boss of the second stage. She can teleport, and can create holograms of herself. When she isn't brain-washed, she can use her knowledge to help out the citizens of Moonland. Kongo Zilla - The boss of the third stage. This monkey is tough, and strong, and likes to workout. When he isn't brain-washed, he likes to work on his banana farm.. which creates about half of Moonland's food. Punchy Pedro - The boss of the fourth stage. He is a universe-classed boxer who can duke it out with almost anyone. He is great friends with Princess Za. When he isn't brain-washed, he likes to box, and practice his world-famous: 'Rocket Punch'. Psudo Za - I believe she is the brain-washed version of Princess Za. T. Ractorhead - The former 'multi-attack' vehicle for King Drool, after Bonk destroyed it, Gladdis rebuilt him. T. Ractorhead learned from his wrong ways, and now offers to help Bonk anytime he needs it. T. Ractorhead also runs the most successful junkyard in the history of the world. Evil King Drool - Bonk's nemesis.. and final enemy of this game. The big drooling, crown wearing, dinosaur. Bigger than Bowser, that's for sure. Princess Za - The ruler of Moonland. When captured by Drool, Bonk and the five 'bosses' swear to bring her back. The six heroes don't know each other, but will after the journey is over. The six become great friends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B2. Items and Powerups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I made a terrible ASCII chart, (If I mock my skills, you can't. Hahaha.) which contains a name for the item, how many points you recieve, how many hearts it will fill, and any other things it may do. (Note: Not all items are here yet.) Item and Powerup Table: /------------------------------------------------------------\ |Name: |Pts: |Hearts: |Other Information: | |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Small Meat |0 |None |The small meat allows Bonk | | | | |to 'upgrade' his status from | | | | |normal Bonk, to 'Medium' | | | | |Bonk, and then to 'Crazy' | | | | |Bonk. (Homemade Names) | |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Large Meat |0 |None |The large meat will upgrade | | | | |Bonk immediately to 'Crazy' | | | | |Bonk from Normal, and will | | | | |also keep him invincible for | | | | |a short time. | |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Vegetables |50 |Smallest |The Vegetables are quite | | | | |common around each level. 50 | | | | |pts, and a small bit of life | | | | |isn't bad at all. | |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Fruits |100 |Twice as |Fruits are less common, but | | | |much as |definitely more valuable. One| | | |veggies |fruit can give you enough | | | | |life to finish a level. It | | | | |does everything twice as much| | | | |as the vegetable. I sense | | | | |biased opinions by designers!| |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Red Hearts |0 |Fills one|A red heart will simply fill | | | |empty |one of your 'blue' hearts. | | | |heart |This is a VERY useful item, | | | | |and should not be missed at | | | | |any cost. | |--------------|-----|---------|-----------------------------| |Blue Hearts |0 |None |The Blue Heart is an empty | | | |(Creates |heart. When you collect your | | | |one blue |first one, you will have four| | | |heart) |total heart tanks, instead of| | | | |three.

Miscellaneous Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************ END-O-QUOTES ************ Everytime you finish a stage, directly after the 'Smiley-Face Tally-Up', there will be a motivating message toward the player. I'll record every one I find here just in case someone is curious as to how many there are! (I add more as I beat rounds.) "Way-Out!!" "Incredible!!" "Prime!!" "Go for it!!" "Waste 'em!!" "Mindblowing!!" ************ END MESSAGES ************ At the very end of the game, the four main bosses each give a message to the player after defeating Evil King Drool. ZA/NARRATOR(Unsure) "Love is in the air!" HUEY "I get to go back to Moonland!!" GLADDIS "Thank you so much. You set me free!!" KONGO ZILLA "I want to go back to the banana farm on ...Moonland." PUNCHY PEDRO "Thanks for saving Princess Za!" =============================================================================== C. WALKTHROUGH =============================================================================== Having trouble with this game? Here's the help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C1. Step One: Title Screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wait for screen to load; Bonk should be sleeping on the logo. Then, press the Run button, and watch Bonk jump to the ground. The game begins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C2. Step Two: Stage 1-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk straight to the right, a crocodile will be waiting. Jump into the air, and spin rapidly toward him. When you two collide, you both will be sent into the air. Continue to spin, and follow the crocodile. This has nothing to really do with any storyline, but it will allow you to get a huge chunk of point. When I did this, I got 4900 pts. Not too shabby if you ask me. Continue to the right, and there is another Croc. Do the same as you did in the above step. After that, there is an 'Egg Lizard'. I'm unsure of the actual name, so I will go with this. He is armed with an axe, so be a little aware.. there will be other 'Egg Lizards' in the game, and they will more dangerous than this. Use this opportunity to bonk this guy around for major points like you did with the crocs. Continue, and you approach three yellow things. These are called: Flower Springs. They are your friends, not your foes. Jump on them, and they will usually change into items. These yellow ones, are simply: Springs. Jump on them, and if you press Button I at the right time, you will be catapulted into the air. Grab the three small veggies, and continue on your way. One crocodile should appear.. Easy. When you approach the steps, a crocodile will walk down.. which MAY throw you off. Attempt to juggle anyway, as there is a Red Heart coming up to refill you. Climb the steps, and you'll approach a Pink Flower Spring. Jump on this little guy, and you'll recieve the Red Heart I was talking about. This should bring you back to full health. Continue on your journey. Another crocodile should appear.. as well as three more Pink Flower Springs! Juggle the crocodile, and then beware. The middle Pink Flower Spring contains an enemy! Jump on the middle one first, and then watch it bounce out. It's a giant skeleton! Hit it, and juggle it for good points. If he happened to hurt you, and take some heart, don't worry. The other two Pink Flower Springs contain Large Veggies! (Ironically, both are fruit.) They should heal you, plus 200 more pts. Continue, and you'll approach an Egg Lizard. Juggle it. Simple as pie. Another Flower Spring.. except this time it's a brownish type. What's it contain? Meat! Jump on it, collect the meat, and become 'Medium Bonk'! As Medium Bonk, you can jump into the air, slam the ground, and you'll freeze all enemies around! Try it on the conviently located crocodile immediately ahead of you. Two more crocs will appear, and try not to be hit by them. Just defeat them.. Don't try and juggle. Up ahead, there is another Brown Flower Spring. Jump on it, and become Crazy Bonk! You are now invincible! Run through every enemy that stands in your way! If you were hit, you'll only be Medium Bonk. This is still better than nothing. Jump into the air, and down the steps, and slam the ground. This will freeze the three crocodiles. Then simply bonk them all. A Pink Flower Spring ahead.. What's it contain? Large Veggie! 100 pts, and a little heart regained. One crocodile stands ahead, and by this time your status should be wearing off at any time. If you were Crazy Bonk, you become Medium Bonk. If you were Medium, you become Normal Bonk. Just destroy the crocodile ahead of you. Shouldn't be too difficult, so juggle him. Another crocodile appears, juggle it as well. After they are both gone, walk to the sign.. you've finished 1-1! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C3. Step Three: Stage 1-2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk to the right, and an Egg Lizard will be waited, Armed with a hatchet, this guy means business. Just juggle him, and head to the wall. I've had people asking me how to climb this wall. I'm not sure why... It's not that hard. Just go right up against it, and while holding RIGHT on the D-Pad, Jump! Then, keep pressing Jump, and Bonk will bite the side of the wall. Continuing to press Button I to jump will allow Bonk to climb the wall with his teeth. Simple as that. When you get to the top of the wall, watch out. Another Egg Lizard will be there.. so get ready for some more juggling. (Juggling is great, isn't it?) A Pink Flower Spring awaits.. 50 pts, a small heart. On the following two steps, there will be two 'Egg Lizards' on each. Juggle them each. Then climb the steps.. another Egg Lizard.. but a new type? Yes, this one contains a Large Meat! Stop drooling, and destroy it. Take the Large Meat, and go crazy! While in the state of 'Crazy Bonk', RUN REALLY FAST. Run right through the three Eggmen, and get the smiley faces. Then LEAP over the volcano! Now, don't worry if it begins to fade.. because another piece of meat awaits! Get that, and go crazy again. While you walk, a volcano will appear out of nowhere. Leap over it, and beware the yellow block below. Step on it, and you will hit lava! Jump over it, and another volcano will spontaneously spawn. (That sounded neat.) Leap over this volcano as well, and you're on your way. Three more yellow brick blocks await.. Avoid them. Jump right over. Then, a piece of land should raise a bit. Avoid every second piece of land. It will colapse, and you will hit lava. Jump on the first piece that RAISED, and skip the next, etc. When you get to the top, an Eggman awaits. Juggle him, and then beat the one below him. Beware the ledge, as it will colapse, and lava will scorch you. Jump across the gaps, until you get to the land with the Yellow Flower Spring. The volcano in the background will then proceed to shoot fireballs at you! Jump on the srping, and spin fast as you jump to the right. Try and land on that Yellow Spring, and bounce toward the three smiley faces. Grab all three, and then just keep walking. You finished the scene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C4. Step Four: Stage 1-3 (Part One) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you haven't taken much damage yet, you've been lucky. This part can get annoying. REAL annoying. You walk onto the stage, and you see a slug! My advice? Don't juggle it. No need to. Juggle the Eggman behind it. Then watch out for the spikes. Watch the spikes carefully.. every second green block will have a spike in it. Some move faster than others. Just be swift, and you should be fine. There will be two slugs.. But don't risk fighting them unless you have a good chunk of life. Those spikes will do damage. At the end of the spikes, you'll see three items. Grab them.. and you should see a dinosaur head. On the far right is a Pink Flower Spring. Jump on it three times, to get three items. This should fill you right up, and get you ready for the next stage. If you don't see an end, don't get discouraged. Jump up, and bonk the dinosaur. He should cry, (aww) and then.. jump on his tounge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C5. Step Five: Stage 1-3 (Part Two) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After being swallowed alive, you will fall into a pool of blood. (Literally.) Swim to the left, and jump onto the ledges. Be careful regarding the two 'Happy Pipes'. They will do decent damage, and are quite annoying. Simple tip: When under one, don't jump. Just fall into the pool. Simple but effective strategy. Two more pools await.. this time with Fish Bones! Bonk them, and then jump to the ledge to the left. Jump high, and spin directly at the slugs. At the end, will be an annoying Happy Pipe. DO NOT ATTACK IT. Just wait until it is facing either side, and quickly run underneath. Jump to the bottom. Beware this pool. It is filled with little 'Electrodes' and 'Fish Bones'. However, a heart awaits you, as well as some large meat, at the bottom of the pool. If you wish, you can collect the Large Meat, and then quickly destroy all Electrodes in hopes of gaining items. Before continuing to the left, climb the outer wall. There will be a gap. When you jump above the gap, spin. This will slow you down enough to allow you to enter the small space. Follow the path to a 1up! Here is a tricky part. Follow the path.. but be careful. Everytime time that you reach the top or bottom, a pipe will be waiting. Just wait until they move to the side, and then quickly attempt to escape. Between ever division, Fish Bones will be floating as well. (I attempted an ASCII map to show you exactly, but it didn't work out for the best.) After you finish the maze, beware the final pipe waiting for when you jump out of the water. See the red flashing heart? Bonk the blocks to destroy them, and then collect the red heart and jump down to the next step! Oh, wait. There is a gray block monster thing who just opened it's mouth. Trust it? Of course. Enter it's skeletal mouth, (pressing up) and it will take you to the first boss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C6. Step Six: Stage One Boss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leave the elevator, and head to the right. The four blocks will fall, and will not allow you to go back. If your turbo-switches are on, fix them so that when you hold 'Button II', Bonk doesn't spin, he just Bonks and falls head first to the ground when in the air. This will help a great deal. When the enemy drops, he may hurt you. This should be the only time he gets you. He will attack with bubbles.. but if you know what you're doing, the battle shouldn't take more than two minutes. Jump on the stools on the left, and jump over him. Press Button II and fall onto his head.. cracking the shell each time. Just keep bouncing off of him. It takes FIFTEEN hits to defeat him. After three or four, his horns that hold the brain-washing helmet will fall. The shell will crack, and after the fifteenth blow, will fall to the ground. The enemy is instantly heeled, and will thank you. He'll also clap his hands and will make you happy. "Gee Wiz!! Thanks!! I feel a lot better. I'm your new friend. Arf Arf Arf!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C7. Step Seven: Stage 2-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head to the right, and take some time to watch the cactus dance. I don't know.. I always found it interesting. To the right, sits a purple Kangaroo with glasses. His name.. is Gary Geek. He's a pretty easy foe.. just juggle him, and grab easy points. Continue, and there will be another 'Amigo' Cactus, and a few more Gary Geeks. Shouldn't be a problem. Continue, and there are three Flora Springers. (For the flower springs, I will refer them as Pink and Yellow. I'm not too fond of the official names.) The one on the far left contains a Vegetable. The one on the right contains a fruit, the middle contains a Venus Bonktrap. Choose whichever you prefer. I had to play this next part a few times to ensure that I was correct... but three more Pink Flower Springs, and another Amigo and a Gary Geek. It's the same as the step before. No double-print.. it happens twice. I believe there is one more Gary Geek, but it's not too important. Just continue until you see the yellow flowerspring. Jump on it, and grab the three Vegetables. Destroy the Gary Geek below, and grab the small meat in the brownish Flower Spring! Ahead, sit three 'Amigo' Cacti. Jump them, and bonk the Gary Geek in the middle of number two and three. Then, (hopefully if you didn't get hit by one of the cacti or the geek), grab the second small meat and powerup. Surprisingly, you will actually waste the meat. If you look ahead, a cactus sits on a little jail-broken type thing. In the middle, you'll see a black enterance shaped like a rectangle... well, it's just a black rectangle. Jump onto it's platform, and press up! BONUS STAGE! Just follow the Yellow Flower Springs, and hopefully grab all eighteen vegetables, and eighteen fruits. As soon as you fall, or make it to the end, (Yay!) you'll go back to the entrance. Go to the next jail-broken thing, and enter that bonus room too. BONUS STAGE! In this stage, you bonk as many volcano rocks as possible. Best plan: Stand in the middle of where the two rocks fall, and bonk right, bonk left. Just repeat that. You should get at least 45 hits. Continue to the right, and a huge pyramid-type setup awaits. You may believe that a lot of bonus stages await you, but unfortunately that isn't the case. In fact, only one of the openings does. Imagine the two layers.. Top and Bottom. On the top layer, sits three openings. None contain bonus stages. However, at the very top, sits a Vegetable. Easy collect. Anyway, on the bottom layer, sits three openings as well. Two on one side of that Cactus, and one on the right. The one on the right contains a neat little bonus level! You stand beside a large wall.. and ten seconds are on the clock. The objective is simple: Climb that large wall in that time. There is no trick... just jump, and begin to climb as fast as you can. At a rapid pace... if you slack off for a second, you're screwed. This can be difficult, but eventually you'll get it. A Roz Erback awaits after you finish the bonus stage. To the right of the pyramid, sits a lonesome opening. Bonus stage? Nope. Just keep heading right. In the next small sequence, three Gary Geeks will be waiting. Afraid? Don't blame you. Anyway, another enemy awaits... but which? A Henry Hatchet? In pink? Ignore the irony, and just defeat it. Grab the large meat, and cause massive destruction in the direction known as right! Run over the two upcoming Gary Geeks, and the Roz Erback, and the SECOND opening as a bonus stage inside. This is a neat stage.. as you must leap off a cliff and land on your feet on the ground below. The catch? Try and spin as many times as you can. You get a certain amount of points for each spin.. but land on your head, and you get zero. (I got 193 spins while writing this walkthrough.) It's semi-easy.. loosely based on luck. After you finish the bonus stage, head to the right and eliminate the Roz Erback and the Gary Geek with ease. You should be looking at a tall wall. How to get up? Climb. Just climb and get to the top. What awaits? A Veggie! Grab it, and beware the upcoming quicksand. Ahead, should be a tree. Bonk it, and it dances! Luckily, it isn't an enemy, and will allow Bonk to ride a tophis branches! Without risk of getting hurt by the two Gary Geeks below, allow Bonk to grab the Smiley-Skulls above for points. Then, you have finished the stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C8. Step Eight: Stage 2-2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new style of level is ahead... a jungle, perhaps? Head to the right, and Stu Stinger awaits. Simple Bonk him twice, and beware the waterfall! Funk E. Fish is in the waterfall, and WILL zap you if you let him. Now, you have a choice. Would you rather fight Funk E. Fish and B. Lou Roach? Or Henry Hatchet and Mini Mongooses, accompanied by Stu Stinger? In my opnion the above is easier. When you get farther, you'll notice a pink Henry Hatchet. What does this mean? Large Meat. Grab it, and continue to the right until you reach the wall. The wall is ahead.. but instead, just fall under the waterfall. Grab the awaiting Veggies/Meat, and then continue to the right. It's pretty easy to find the items and such. Just be careful because of the Funk E. Fish. They swarm the waterfall, and can be annoying. After you collect the Veggie and the small meat, head to the end of the stage. There is nothing below the waterfall, so no need to fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C9. Step Nine: Stage 2-3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A desert.. a jungle.. now a cave. It can be creepy in here... in fact, right off the bat, you see two Sally Slugs. Bonk them. Not too hard. There are two ways to go... head down and left. One Sally Slug, Two OopaLoopas and a B. Lou Roach await. Defeat them for the points, and then look to the left of where the B. Lou Roach was guarding... BONUS STAGE! Bonk the left area, and then 'Up'. It's the stage where you jump off the cliff and see how many spins you can do without landing on your head. (144 Spins for me this time around.) After the bonus stage, look to the right. A green slime can be seen. Do NOT fall in that, as it will drain your health rapidly. You pass three pools, and then another Sally Slug. Two more pools, and then another Sally Slug. In front of you is another pool, and a block surrounded by OopaLoopas. Kudos to King Drool for setting up that Oopa Loopa defense.. it's quite ingenius. To beat them, simply stand on the edge of the green slime pool, and bonk. No need for jumping. If you leap onto the now OopaLoopa-free block, you can jump to the next space, and a heart is in view! Remember in Stage 1-3 (Part Two) where you're inside that turtle, and you have to jump high and spin fast to get into the little opening to collect the Free-Man? Same thing here.. Easy jump, spin fast, and you have the heart. Keep heading right, B. Lou Roach, OopaLoopa. B. Lou Roach, OopaLoopa. One more OopaLoopa, and then continue. You should see the end of the level! But don't go there yet. The B. Lou Roach on the far right is hiding something... bonk him, and then bonk the area he was guarding. BONUS STAGE! It's a repeat stage.. you have to climb the large wall in ten seconds. Remarkably easy this time around I must admit. Then just go to the end of the stage. If you're curious as to what you miss when taking the bottom way, is a heart. That's it. Feel free to go back and get it, but by doing that, you may take more than a heart damage, and make the whole trip pointless. Also, at the top right, there is a block you can bonk to enter a bonus stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C10. Step Ten: Stage 2-4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry Hatchet is right at the beginning.. destroy him. Then, a pink Hatchet! Grab the large meat, and move fast to the right. You'll pass a Hatchet, a few Al E. Gators, and V.L. Chure along with her baby Imps. (The birds.) Jump and spin past all the Mini-Mongoose, and it should wear off when you meet the pink flower spring. Collect the vegetable. Pass two more Mini-Mongoose, and bonk the right-side of the Twinkle Toes. Simply ride him toward the right collecting any Smiley-Skulls along the way. After you reach the end of the ride... jump off temporarily. Spin-bonk Twinkle Toes over the small block, and continue to ride to the right. Keep collecting the Smiley-Skulls, until you see the second Twinkle Toes. Bonk it, and have it follow you to the right. Same with the third Twinkle Toes. Reason? An annoying Stu Stinger approaches, and try and jump back and forth via the TT's. Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier this way. Keep using this strategy throughout the level. Just keep following Twinkle Toes until you reach the small meat. Grab it, and just continue to the end of the stage. A simple Henry Hatchet guards the ending. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C11. Step Eleven: Stage 2-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the two step plunge, and leap off HAMMERING Freddy Frogger. Leap onto the Yellow Flower Spring and launch yourself onto the top "shelf". Swing across, and land on lower level so that you have 2-3 "Tic Tacs or Toes" coming at you. There will be three frogs to your left. After getting rid of the "buzzers", leap and destroy the three frogs. Just leap and spin to the right to go back there. You have to be somewhat careful here. Tic Tacs and Toes come from all directions. A Pink Flower Spring should be above you, so go get the "Fruit" from it immediately. Leap down, and there is a BIG patch of "mud". Frogs will fill it, so simply spin through them to the other side. A Yellow Flower Spring awaits, but make sure you BONK the Frog to the right of it. Another Frog sits in the mud awaiting you, so bonk it to arrive at the other side. Another Yellow Spring awaits as well as a Frog. Bonk it. Sounds easy, but I assure you, it can be rather annoying. Keep this pattern up until you see another Pink Flower, and grab the Veggie. Unfortunately, Stu Stingers show up. As you should already know, they are bad news. It is now time to LEAP and SPIN wildly to the right trying to avoid everything. It's harder said than done, but there isn't much else to grab at this point. Stop this strategy until you reach another Pink Spring, and grab the Fruit. A huge blue dude will popup, but no worries. He's on your side! He'll shoot water into the air, so leap on the water and grab the three veggies above for an easy 150pts. Jump across his five 'humps' and land on the other side. A Yellow Spring awaits, but ... another hump?! Yes! He is indeed that long! Keep going and you'll see another Lee Octness smirking at you. Jump onto his water like you did the other one, and collect the three veggies. Leap across and grab the fruit from the Pink Spring, and meet the third Lee Octness. Grab the three veggies, and leap across his three humps to a fourth Lee Octness. Grab the three more veggies, and jump down. There is a Yellow Spring ahead. Use it to leap up and swing on the branch slightly offscreen to the right. You see a familiar enemy ... HENRY HATCHET! It's one on one, winner goes on to the next level. (It should be no contest.) Defeat him, and you're on to the next stage! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12. Step Twelve: Stage 2-6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can't move left or right, and you obviously cannot move down. This means you get to climb! Goodie! Jump onto the side of the "pole" beside you. You should have a solid grip with your teeth on the pole. Now, press "LEFT OR RIGHT" to switch sides. Knowing that information will make the entire level easier. Go up the left side of the pole until you can turn in right. A blue Henry Hatchet should be there as well as a Pink Spring which contains a veggie. Continue right to another blue Henry Hatchet. You'll actually see three and the starting level "flag". You could've just went up that way, but my way is easier. Eliminate the three Hatchets, then jump onto the Spring and catapult yourself to the right. Jump off that one, and grab the high ledge that sits there. (The lower level just has two Freddy Froggers.) Swing to the left and eliminate the two Froggers. (Not the ones I mentioned before, the ones above.) Climb up the left side, and swing to the left. Climb up to the Pink Spring and eliminate the Henry Hatchet. I received a red heart from this Spring, so you'll probably get a fruit. Continue climbing until you are forced to swing to the right toward that Yellow Spring. Leap on it, and attack the Freddy Frogger on the left first. Then the Henry Hatchet on the right. Now leap left and up to latch onto the side and climb up. Attack the Freddy Frogger and Tic-Tac-Toe member, and then head to the right. You're almost done. Latch onto the right wall, and swing right. Climb up, and take out that Henry Hatchet. Head over, and eliminate all enemies on this level. Above sits two Henry Hatchets. If you're low on health, make you sure you jump after you climb, and spin while they jump and throw their axes. They will miss, and you land on the Pink Spring. Grab the item, and it'll recover you somewhat. Then bonk the two Hatchets, hopefully avoiding all damage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C13. Step Thirteen: Stage 2-7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're starting rather high on the screen! Leap onto the clouds below to test the bounce. Now you can strategize. Leap onto the green platform, and continue jump-spinning throughout the level. You'll meet a few tic-tac-toes, but nothing too serious. Should you be damaged, just go below the various platforms to grab fruits and vegetables. Continue this, until you find the large meat. Eat the meat, and head to the upper right as quickly as possible. The skull elevator will popup, and this will lead you to the second stage boss! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C14. Step Fourteen: Stage Two Boss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leave the elevator, and head to the right. The four blocks will fall, and will not allow you to go back. If your turbo-switches are on, fix them so that when you hold 'Button II', Bonk doesn't spin, he just Bonks and falls head first to the ground when in the air. This will help a great deal. Gladdis will teleport at the upper centre, and will split into two. Leap, and just bonk the real one. It shouldn't be too dificult. After a few times, she'll combine into one Gladdis again, and will teleport around shooting stars at Bonk. Continue to follow her teleportation throughout the screen, whilst bonking her. After about 15 blows, she'll give up! "You're my hero!! You've won my heart and mind, Bonk!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C15. Step Fifteen: Stage 3-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head to the right, and witness a red dinosaur with a head shaped like his! R. Ed Beaker is the name. I'll call him 'Beaker' from now on. Get the fruit from the pink springer, and beware the three annoying bugs. Beaker appears again, and he'll show you to a large structure. The first door you approach in the structure is a bonus stage ... sort of! Congratulations, you've won TWENTY BANANA BUNCHES. That's huge! Grab the meat/fruit springers, and then go to lower right door. It contains ... TWENTY GREEN FRUITS?! Yes! It's so awesome! The next platform to the right of the structure holds nothing. However, the second one with a cactus does. Go in ... Bonus stage! Bonk as many volcanic chunks as you can. Find the middle spot, and bonk right then left. I constantly get at least 50 hits. Grab the meat, and beware these Beakers. They are angry by this point. The next platform holds a bonus stage. In the bonus stage you leap off a high cliff to see how many spins you can achieve whilst landing on your feet. I did 153. Might have been a fluke! The next platform also holds a bonus stage. This one forces you to jump from yellow springer to yellow springer collecting fruits and veggies. Continue to the next large structure, and the bottom centre door allows you in. What do you recieve? TWENTY WATERMELONS. This stage is loaded with bonuses, don't you think? Well, continue to the next large platform. It also contains something in the bottom centre. TWENTY GREEN FRUITS. Sweet stuff! The next four platforms you encounter with enemies contain absolutely nothing. They're empty. The 5th has a cactus to the left, and contains the bonus level where you have to climb a wall in a certain amount of time. Just turn the turbo switches so that you can hold down the jumping button. You'll be fine. Head right to the yellow spring to get on the high wall. Pass the two Hatchets, and you are at the end of 3-1! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C16. Step Sixteen: Stage 3-2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As opposed to falling from the bones, walk on the first bone, and quickly jumpspin to the far right. If done correctly, you will land on the other side with two bonuses ... a free man, and a warp to 3-5! If you don't make it, you just drop down to the bottom. Make sure that you don't fall down to the far left, as there is a set of spikes. Then just walk right to finish the stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C17. Step Seventeen: Stage 3-3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swim to the right, and you'll notice Jerry Jelly and Crocket Dile. Climb on the upcoming land or go underneath it. Watch out for B. Ike Links and Crocket Diles. This Crocs will attempt to swallow you whole! To defend against them, you have to bonk them 5 times. When bonking them, hit them from below. Andy Ammonites will shoot ink at you, so be sure to avoid them at all costs. Or, bonk him. The crocs who sit, not moving, while snapping their jaws will lunge at you. When you have the option of going on land, or underneath it, go above. If you go beneath, you have to face pointless B. Ike Links. Hit the pink flower on land to get a vegetable. Head into the water, and look to the left. See those ice blocks that are so horribly obvious? Bonk them, to reveal an open area. Enter the area, go as far left as you can, and press up. You enter the bonus level where you have to bonk Volcano blocks. Head right and go over that voclano. Head back onto land and jump on that pink flower. Collect the item, and bonk Twinkle Toes into the water if you really want to. Leap into the water, and go to the next land. Another Twinkle Toes is there. Henry Hatchet looks at you, so bonk it or something. Go into the water and dodge the upcoming Andy Ammonites, Crocket Diles and Jerry Jellys to complete the level! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C18. Step Eighteen: Stage 3-4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To your right are two Jerry Jellys. Destroy them! Instead of following the sign's instruction to go up, head to the right. Under the Blue Hawaii is a secret level. Bash the block to the bottom right. This is the "Climb the Wall" bonus level. So just switch your Button I turbo up and hold down the Button I. Afterwards, you have some swimming to do. Head up! Dodging the Blue Hawaii, Jerry Jellys, you want to swim up while watching for what I call "Ball Chunks". If you come close to these Ball Chunks, they will explode into four pieces. If you're still too close, they'll explode into eight! Beware them at all costs. After a bit of swimming, you'll notice that yes, there is a ridiculous amount of Ball Chunks. When you see an opening to the right, swim there. There will be two Blue Hawaii waiting for you. Defeat them, and you're rewarded with an extra life! Go back left, and get rid of that Blue Hawaii. You'll see the exit, so swim up, and leap onto the land! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C19. Step Nineteen: Stage 3-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get ready for a long one. First things first, get rid of both the Henry Hatchets. If you land on the ice, 'heads down', you will glide out of control. So, I'd try and refrain from doing that! The pink flower has a fruit for you. Beware of the Egghead Errols. These are the 'purple chompers' that try and eat you. From the left, an iceblock will fly so watch out. The right flower will hold a veggie for you. Once again, an ice block will fly from the left. Why don't you jump on it, and ride it the rest of the way? Bill Ducks will swoop and try to peck at you, so you can destroy them, or stay on the block. When the ride ends, a pink flower containing a fruit awaits. Jump down, and ride another block. Right before the waterfall will be a pink flower containing a fruit. Under the waterfall are four Blue Hawaii. Head right and break the iceblock to reveal a bonus level. Leap from yellow flower to yellow flower collecting fruits and vegetables! Don't fall in the holes! Head back left and collect that brown flower's meat. Bonk Egghead Errol, and look at the small flower. Whilst avoiding the Bill Ducks, get the flower. From above will be a Google Eyes. Jump up, grab it and be rewarded with a pink flower. Jump on the flower to get MORE MEAT! Run through the Egghead Errols and then get the three pink flowers. The sequence is veggie-monster-fruit. Afterward, a cloud with severe lightning storms appear. Avoid it and cross the ice block bridge. If you want to fall below, just jump and bonk one of the blocks. There are a few Blue Hawaiis, but heading right past the Blue Hawaiis will result in a bonus level opportunity. This is of course assuming that you see the ice block to break. It's the same bonus level situation as before. Break it, and enter the bonus level. It's the 'Climb the Wall' bonus level. After the bonus, break the bridge from below, and get back up there to get a small meat. A few Egghead Errols are in front of you, so bonk them and continue. You will get more meat! Rush through the rest of the Egghead Errols, and only get the middle pink flower in the set of three. The other two are monsters, while the middle holds a fruit. There are two ways to go through, so make a choice. Would you rather face Henry Hatchets, and try to avoid the clouds? Go on land. If you'd prefer Funky Fish, Crocket Diles and so forth, go below the waterfall. At the end of the stage, you will face one Henry Hatchet. Then, you have a BOSS BATTLE! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C20. Step Twenty: Stage Three Boss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After heading the usual direction (right), you'll notice an icey-type flooring. Oh, boy. New boss to face, and you'll be slipping left and right. The boss is "Kongo Zilla". When he goes underground, he will throw a lot of junk up, which will show where he is coming from. When you see him, you have to jump and bonk him on the head, missing his spiky arms. He also is armed with an ice block, which he will chuck at your head. "You made a monkey out of me, Bonk. Come to think of it, I am a monkey! By the way, have you seen Princess Za?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C21. Step Twenty-one: Stage 4-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only stage in Round four, and it is a doozy. The music is sweet though, so I suppose it evens out ... somehow. Defeat the three Henry Hatchets and notice the purple clothes of the third. Those Hatchets always give you large meat, so collect it, and be invincible. Run quickly and defeat the Roz Erbacks and the Spiky Sauros. I was able to blaze through seven. After bonking a few more dinos, receive your items from the two outside flowers. The sequence is ... WAIT! Monster-Veggie-Monster! The game is trying to trick us! Take the middle one! V. L. Chures and her Imps will try and hurt you as well, so bonk them. You meet a pink flower containing a veggie. More of the same (V. L. Chures, Imps and the Dinos) will try and attack you, so just be prepared. Continue along and collect another veggie from the flower. You'll have to defeat more, and congratulations ... you're at the quicksand! Leap over the amigo, before the yellow flower. For the next two Amigos, use the yellow flower to get some serious hangtime. There will be another set of Amigos, so leap over them too. After a few of those, you will have to leap over a set of three amigos. Not a huge problem. Coming up, you'll see a few Twinkle Toes, so feel free to climb them to get more of the happy faces. In between each rest stop are pink flowers with Vegetables. Beware the annoying Bill Ducks, and continue on your way. Jump on the blue flower as it holds an extra heart tank. Spike Sauros charges at you, so bonk it. The volcanoes in the background erupt, sending lava chunks your way, so be careful. Just jump over the rolling Al E. Gators and avoid the Spike Sauroses. Defeat the Hatchets and you'll see that dreaded Skull Elevator. Who is the boss this time? It's a boxer named PUNCHY PEDRO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C22. Step Twenty-two: Stage Four Boss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pedro is fast, so don't get in his way. Stay in the air, and bonk his head repeatedly. If you miss him, and fall to the ground, good game. He has two punches that are devastating. The first, I call "Rocket Jab". It's the quickest jab I've ever seen. Second of all, is the "KO Punch". If he connects with you, you'll lose a heckuva lot of life. I lost a few lives the first time I fought him, but improved by the second. Don't be afraid to get in his face! "You really rang my bell on that one. It feels great to be out in the light. Now I can find my beloved Princess!" =============================================================================== D. CONCLUSION =============================================================================== It's been fun, boys and girls! Now let's end this thing! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D1. Revision History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 2.1, November 8, 2004 Well, they're typed up, and the guide is larger than ever before. All I need to do is write down the final level, and I'll try and do that tonight. There are quite a few mini-stages in the fifth round, but some are longer than others. I'll be done this week, if not tomorrow. After two years, I'll finally have completed this FAQ. How sweet it is! VERSION 2.0, November 5, 2004 How sweet it is. I changed the layout of this FAQ and after reading a COMPLETE Bonk's Adventure FAQ, I am determined to finish this thing! I will have the last laugh! MWEHEHEHEHE! As of now, I have 4 of the 5 stages on sheets of paper that I will need to type out. VERSION 1.4, November 30, 2003 It has been a while again, but school took over my life. After working on the two TG16 FAQ projects (Tale Spin and World Class Baseball) I took somewhat of a break. What I have yet to announce, was that I ordered a TG16 a few months ago, and now I can play all these games on console. I decided today to go play Bonk's Adventure. I got to the part where I am on the walkthrough, and decided to write things down. I added 2-7, Stage Two Boss, 3-1 and partial 3-2. Why partial? I found a warp, and didn't want to skip 2-3 and 2-4 all together. Disadvantage of using the console! Well, I also added an end quote: "Mindblowing!!" and I will probably add a few more levels later. This update puts this FAQ at 52 KB, catapulting me over the 100KB plateau! Sweet deal! VERSION 1.3, July 18, 2003 Changed the Contributor name from Carpainter to RLilley. VERSION 1.2, June 25, 2003 As you may have noticed, the walkthrough was not completely fixed to fit the new layout, and that has been completely finished as well as ... TWO NEW sections to the walkthrough. 2-5 and 2-6 are now fully covered. I'm excited. This FAQ will be finished, and my goal is September 15th, 2003. Guess why. Added a few more people to the special thanks, and added "End Quotes" to the mscellaneous section. This should be the last update you see for this FAQ until I feel enough content has been completed. We'll be through stage two, anyway ... VERSION 1.1, June 23, 2003 It's been nearly a year, folks. A lot has happened in that time, and it is time to get to business. In that long period of time, I had the thrill to see this FAQ posted on GameSpot. I have been told that it isn't that huge of a deal but nevertheless, I'm flattered beyond belief. Too much work went into this FAQ to just let it die, and I don't intend to watch that happen. What happened a few days after October 7th was that I lost my good computer, and I was unable to run MagicEngine. I use this to write my FAQs as my real TG16 has been out of commission for a while now. Well, I bought a new computer for about $500 Canadian, and I am now able to run the program! Now I can finally work on the FAQ! A special "Thank you" to Brian Suplher for all his support. Also, address has been changed to: --> thebestofalltime [at] hotmail.com --> Topbar has been edited to show more important information. Cleaning up the entire FAQ. I think it looks nicer. VERSION 0.5, October 7, 2002 About two weeks has past since I last updated this thing. We moved to a new town/house, and I haven't had time. We won't have the internet back for a few days/weeks, so I've decided to try and get this FAQ/Walkthrough as close to done before the 'net comes back. In this update, I added Steps: Seven, Eight and Nine, as well as starting Ten. Changed the Table of Contents so that the reader can see which parts of the Walkthrough are completed/nearly completed and use the CTRL + F (Find) command to go directly to that section. Also fixed some line widths. Some had been pushing the 79 character rule. I'm trying to keep it all under 65-70 to ensure that I don't break this rule, even though my FIRST version DID have some lines that broke the rule. More updates to come through-out the next week. VERSION 0.4, September 24, 2002 Pretty massive update this time around. I played through the game, and at the end had a scroll with the ENTIRE cast. Naturally, I wrote every character down in the 'The Cast' section. I started writing for the second level, and got to the first two bonus levels. On a lighter note, I added a new 'End-O-Quote' in the Misc. Info section. I fixed the item table, and also changed the walkthrough sub-headings. Regarding one of the FAQ questions, (Which are real, I swear!) Rhyos Beoulve reminded me that Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge were also released for the Game Boy. Last but not least, I noticed that Bonk's Adventure is the NUMBER TWO on the top FAQs list for the Turbo Grafx 16; behind the hardware FAQ. I'm not sure what determines the Top Ten List, but I'm thrilled either way. Further updates to come soon. VERSION 0.3, September 22, 2002 Had to change my e-mail address from Carpainter@dobber.net to Carpainter@ebvortex.com. Added a new function for 'Up', added a new section entitled: 'End-O-Stage Quotes' under Misc Info, and finished Stage 1 of the walkthrough. Added some FAQ Questions. VERSION 0.2, September 20, 2002 Started the walkthrough, and finished a few sections. Decided to send in this first version to CJayC at GameFAQs to hopefully raise awareness of the Turbo Grafx 16 section. Perhaps someone will see this FAQ, and will want to play a Turbo Grafx again... VERSION 0.1, September 15, 2002 Began the layout for the FAQ, and began the actual FAQ writing on this date. Obviously not all sections will be finished in this version, but just a quick overview. Wrote up Stage 1-1 in the Walkthrough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D2. Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail me at --> carpainter [at] gmail.com <-- with your questions. Then I can answer them here in future versions.. Any serious or comical question to be answered. Q: Who is Bonk's Dentist? A: King DROOL. Ha hahaha. Ha. Get it? You drool when your mouth is open for too long while being drilled. I crack myself up. Q: I haven't heard much about Bonk, but I'm curious as to what happened to him. He sounds like a unique character. What's his history? A: Ironically, this was his first game. And boy, was it a hit. Bonk then went on to appear in Bonk's Revenge. (I have that game as well.) After that, well, rumour has it that he appeared in a Bonk 3. (Bonk's Big Adventure.) However, I have never seen the chip. They also had a Bonk knockoff, which was entitled Air Zonk. It was a pretty good game as well. On the Super Nintendo, he's had two games. Super Bonk, and Super Bonk 2. I've played the former.. it's great. While searching for exact info for this question, I found out an arcade version of this game was made! How cool! (NOTE: My friend Rhyos Beoulve reminded me that Bonk's Adventure could also be played on the Game Boy as well as Bonk's Revenge. Both released in 1994. Cannot believe I forgot that one. Thanks, Rhy!) Q: In 10 words or less, describe Bonk. A: Bonk is a caveman whose only weapon is his head. Q: Why do you bother writing a FAQ for something most people won't even care about? A: I want information on this game.. and there was no FAQ. Why did I bother? Not only is this great fun, but I'm sure there is at least one person who would appreciate my work. Also, so the TG16 is dead.. I wish to honour my system. If you don't want to read it, fine. Q: Will Bonk appear on the Playstation 2, Gamecube, Game Boy Advance or the X-Box? A: Probably not... although I would love to see it. Never say never, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D3.
