A: Story/Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Daffy Duck, the Marvin Missions! This is an older game,
sporting 16-bit graphics and five worlds to travel to open for your
exploration. This is my second FAQ, so I have a bit of experience.
Before you play the game, I recommend you read the section on enemies
and items unless you are already familiar with them because I do not
explain them in the Walkthrough.
Anyway, on to the game. It seems that Marvin the Martian, cartoon
legend, is once again trying to take over the galaxy. And then there
is Duck Dodgers, (that's you) the only hero in the galaxy brave and
strong enough to stop him! *Dun dun DUN!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B: Options/Controls
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, getting started. When you start off your SNES/emulator, you
will have the old start/options section. Of course, selecting start
will start the game, and options will bring you to a menu screen. Under
options you can find uninteresting things like whether or not you
listen to music/sound effects while you play... but the only three
that will probably be of any use to you is the controls, difficulty,
and extra lives.
First off, for the extra lives you can have either 3, 4, or 5.
The default is 3, and unless you want a challenge go for five.
The difficulty has two different choices, medium or hard. The
default is medium. The only difference I see between the two is that
on the hard setting, it takes a little longer to kill your enemies.
Finally, for the controls you have type A and type B. I go with
type A, but whatever you choose is fine. Here they are:
Type A:
A: Nutty Attack
B: Jump
X: Block
Y: Shoot Weapon
Type B:
A: Shoot Weapon
B: Jump
X: Nutty Attack
Y: Block
-----------------------------------------------------------------
C: Menu
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the menu screen that you get every time that you are at
the start of a new world. It is basically split into three parts. The
first is the name of the level. The second screen is the information
screen, which explains the level and what you are trying to do. The
third screen is your own personal shop where you can purchase any item
in the game with your dough. You start off with $1,500 in the very
beginning to spend. I will have what the first two screens explain
before the level on the Walkthrough, but since the shop is always the
same I am going to go over that here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
D: Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- a. World 1
First Screen: Where there is duck, there's fire.
Second Screen:
Planet: Magma
Type: Resort
Size: Big
Atmosphere: Quaint
Top Secret: 1. Marvin causing havoc on planet!
2. Stop him at all costs!
3. Oh, almost forgot - he has abducted our
greatest politicians!
- Headquarters
Advice for the shop:
You only have $1,500, don't waste it. Buy a crapload of three-way
guns... four or five will work. You will find a few in the levels
themselves. Buy enough fuel for your tank, two or three is all you
can get anyway and that is not expensive. Later on you will need the
money badly, so don't use it all here. Oh, and my advice... save the
three way gun for the end boss of this world, because you'll regret
it otherwise.
Stage 1: Fun stuff... molten rock flowing everywhere, wild cactuses
after you, and there is even an ambassador in distress for you to save.
With a quick "duck dodgers" from Daffy, walk right over a lava
pit. (These things hurl rocks from their depths, try not to get hit,
but most of the time they are pretty easy to avoid.) Lucky you, you
encounter your first enemy of the game!! Yes, it is a cactus. Shoot
it quick enough and it won't get a chance to dodge those spikes that
are so easy to avoid. It'll drop some cash (YES, YES!!), and across
three more pits of lava to your right there's a gold man. Further on
to the right and two pits later is another cactus. Past him is an
elevator. At the top of the elevator go left a bit to get some fuel.
(If you fly straight up and left there is nothing, don't waste fuel
going up there.) Go back to where the elevator was, and fly straight
up and to the right a little bit. There will be a lava geyser spitting
up burning rocks. Walk right, kill that fire guy, and past him is his
life savings.
Heading back to the small staircase at the top of the elevator, go
in that cave to the right of you and kill the cactus. Fall down the
pit at the right end, (avoiding the lava at the bottom), and to the
right is another of your green spiky friends with some cola drink above
him. After you get your life refilled and the cactus is taken care
of, go right and through that hole in the wall. Jump up to the right
a little bit and get the extra life. Nothing left up there... fall
down and hit the continue arrow. To the right of you is another of
those golden guys, kill him. Jump on the ledge to the right of you,
and then jump left again into the wall. You will go through it. Walk
to the left and grab the money inside. No go back to the ledge, and
hop from ledge to ledge making your way slowly to the right until you
come to the elevator at the far wall. There should be a freeze gun
and some fuel right there. Go up the elevator and jump left onto that
ledge at the top of it. Keep going up and left from ledge to ledge.
At the last ledge there is a gold fire guy a bit off of the ground.
He will fall out of his wall, kill him. Keep going left to another
elevator. Almost done now.
Going to the top of the elevator, there is a small nook to the left
of you with a bomb gun in it. Grab it and jump to your right. The ledges
on your right hold another cola and a continue arrow. When you get
to the continue arrow, prepare yourself for the Magma planet
mini-boss.
Stage 2: Now, for a change in scenery, you are in a hotel filled with
hostile aliens. Whoohoo!
