Walkthrough for Kero Kero Keroppi's Big Adventure
Version 1.0 May 9, 2002
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
This is a walkthrough/information guide for the NES game Kero Kero
Keroppi's Big Adventure 1. Why this game? Because there isn't a guide
for it yet at GameFAQs, and I thought it would be a good way to get my
feet wet in FAQ writing. This game is a relatively simple, but still
fun, puzzle game released only in Japan, but translated a couple of
years ago. Any questions/comments/constructive criticisms can be sent
to skater43@hotpop.com.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic Information:
The control pad moves Kero around, A makes Kero hop one square, B is
used to commit suicide/redo (if you have a cloud), and Start
pauses/unpauses the game. One player can attempt all the puzzles, or
two players can alternate turns. There are four types of stages in each
level. The grape stages are not covered in this walkthrough because all
you have to do is follow the path. If you have trouble with the grape
stages, there isn't much I can do for you. The apple stages are
somewhat of a maze/find the correct path often using tunnels. In the
pineapple stages, you must hop from lily pad to lily pad or pink pad.
The pink pads can only be entered and exited from certain directions,
and that direction changes every time you land on that pad. The lemon
stages are something akin to the old ACCLAIM game Othello. You can only
move or hop onto a chip the same color as the one you are currently on.
Also, when you move to a new chip, all the chips to the left and right
will change color until reaching the same color as the chip you now
stand on. For example, you move onto a blue chip. The chip will then
change to orange. The chips to the left and right will also change
from blue to orange until another (already) orange chip or a gap is
reached. If there are no orange chips to the left and/or right, the
chips will stay blue. Sounds complicated? It's easier to picture once
you actually play the stage. And if you follow this walkthrough, you
won't need to worry about what the chips are or aren't doing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Walkthrough:
This walkthrough is complete as noted above except for the grape
stages. This walkthrough will tell you how to collect every candy
(bonus points), ice cream cone (more time), and heart (access to the
bonus levels, see section near the end of this walkthrough). I didn't
include the clouds except in rare cases for two reasons. First, they
can usually be collected in the grape stages. And second, follow this
walkthrough and you won't need the clouds. And most people will be
playing this game on an emulator with save states so you'll use those
instead of the clouds. I went through all the levels in the same
order: grape, apple, pineapple, lemon. This is basically in order of
toughness, from easiest to hardest, but not necessarily so. The
walkthrough labels the stages by their number rather than fruit
because on the later levels there are two of each fruit. The
stage/level number is found in the upper left corner of the choose a
stage screen, upper right within an actual stage. That said, on with
the walkthrough.

Bonus Levels:
Although you can collect multiple hearts in the various levels, the
hearts only appear in the stages if you do not currently have access to
the bonus stage. In order to access the bonus stage multiple times for
the same level, you must collect a heart, attempt the bonus stage, and
then you can collect another and try the stage again. In addition, the
bonus stage is always the same for each of the levels, not matter how
many hearts you collect for that level. The numbers below represent the
starting path to choose in order to "beat" the bonus levels. 1 is the
left most starting block, 4 is the right most.
Level 1 - 1, 2, 1, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2
Level 2 - 2, 1, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2, 1
Level 3 - 3, 1, 2, 4, 3, 4, 2, 1
Level 4 - 4, 2, 1, 4, 3, 4, 3, 2
Level 5 - 3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 3, 3
Level 6 - 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 4, 2, 3
Level 7 - 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3
Level 8 - 1, 2, 4, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1

Credits/wrap-up
And there you have it, a complete walkthrough for Kero Kero Keroppi's
Big Adventure 1. I would like to thank/give credit to the following
groups/individuals (yes, the list is like those at the Academy Awards,
but that's okay because nobody ever reads this section of a FAQ
anyway).
me - hey, I had to write the thing didn't I?
Sanrio - they made the game
Gaijin Productions/Musashi - they took the time to translate it, so I
could know I did "Awesome!Great!" when I beat each stage :)
CJayC/GameFAQs - for hosting this and countless other FAQs/walkthroughs
The Whirlpool - for hosting the translation patch, so I could
appreciate Musashi's work.
Joseph Verderame - for proof reading this sucker (any mistakes, blame
him for not catching 'em) and being a helluva roommate for all those
years
Shannon Wylie - for inadvertently encouraging me to finally finish this
thing, and for being there for me to rant to
Staci Harden & Danielle Pangburn - for making work that much more
tolerable and enjoyable
Oingo Boingo, Tom Petty, Devo, Depeche Mode, Aerosmith, Def Leppard - I
can't imagine trying to spend hours doing anything let alone write this
walkthrough without some music playing
