|| Mad Space Hints guide ||
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
\\-------------------------------------------------------------------------//
I decided to make this guide because Mad Space is the only Treasure Hunting
stage where the hints are written in reverse, and also they can become
really hard to figure out with just ONE. I'm not saying it's hard to
understand what's written just as long as you read from right to left, BUT the
hints by themselves can be really hard to figure out, forcing you, maybe, to
get another.
Also, Mad Space is a really big stage, and moreso confusing especially because
of the small Moon and the overall awkward camera angles. This guide should
help you, as you'll only require to use up 1 hint everytime, making clearing
mission 1 and 4 easier, as when you know the spot you can reach it faster,
getting an Extreme score everytime.
I'm not going to list, however, the locations of the hint screens. They're ALL
OVER THE PLACE. It's a big stage. No matter where you are, a hint screen
shouldn't be far.
Anyway, here it goes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. "tghiew repap eguh"
Means: "Huge paper weight."
Location: Most bottom level, look for two platforms closely togther, there are
only two pairs. One of them has a stomper. Just jump and dig onto the ring in
the center of its shadow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. "ynoclab reniatnoc kcalb"
Means: "Black container balcony."
Location: Highest level, glide over to a balcony with lots of floating,
unbreakable containers on it. Beside this balcony is a platform that has a
Chaos clone and the Mystic stone. The emerald shard is floating among them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. "1 on enihcam fo gel eht fo pot eth"
Means: "The top of the leg of machine no (number) 1"
Location: Capsule planet, look for a "machine" with a number 1 on the side.
Jump and dig in front of the "1" picture facing the top of the Capsule planet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. "namhctaw gninrub a yb rats"
Means: "Star by burning watchman."
Location: Most bottom level, look for one platform with a meteor circling
around it. Dig into the metal circle with a start sign.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. "dap gnihchnual elissim lanogatco"
Means: "Octagonal missile launcing pad."
Location: Take the missile from the large moon planet, you'll land on a
platform with another missile launching pad. This shard can be on multiple
locations on the platform. I've seen it on three spots thus far, all visible
on the platform itself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. "Evil liquid."
One of the rare non-reversed hints.
Location: Top level, kill the Chaos clone on the platform with the Mystic
stone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. "diuqil live"
Okay. So the above hint isn't reversed. And this one is exactly the same BUT
reversed. However, somehow, it has nothing to do with its location, since this
stage only has TWO Chaos clones, and they already have their own 1st hint.
Behold.
Means: "Evil liquid."
Location: Right where you begin, drop down to the plaform under you. The
emerald shard is floating around in a circle near the floor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. "The blue enemy on the blue stand."
Another non-reversed hint.
Location: Most bottom level, look for the platform with blue lights and a
bubble Chaos clone. Kill it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. "reniatnoc deroloc eerht"
Means: "Three colored containers."
Location: Take the missile from the large Moon and you land on a platform with
another missile launching pad. Near it, there are three large containers, the
left has yellow lights, the midde has blue lights and the right one has red
lights. I found the shard on top of the yellow container, but I think it can
appear on any container. I've found the shard inside the blue lights container
instead on a second go from this hint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. "thgil gnorw"
Means: "Wrong light."
Location: In the small Moon, look for a blue light in the upper half. Dig
closely, south of it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. "krad eht ni thgil ylenol"
Means: "Lonely light in the dark."
Location: On the large Moon, run around in a circle near the edge until the
radar gives signal, and jump out and glide into the side. Climb down towards
a light beam sticking out of the ground. Dig closely to it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. "gnitaolf ton si taht reniatnoc eht"
Means: "The container that is not floating."
Location: Top level, look for the balcony with floating metal containers that
can be broken. Break the one that isn't floating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. "htrae ot rats tseraen eht"
Means: "The nearest star to earth."
Location: On the most bottom level, look for the platform with a crescent moon
and star signs with their respective metal circles. Dig into the star's metal
circle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. "syug llat eht neewteb"
Means: "Between the tall guys."
Location: Break the floating wooden container between two light beams at the
bottom end of the Capsule planet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. "reniatnoc a nihtiw reniatnoc a"
Means: "A container within a container."
Location: Take the missile from the platform above the large Moon. Along the
way up, you'll notice two large containers. Glide into the left one and break
the metal container inside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. "rats souregnad"
Means: "Dangerous star."
Location: On the right side of the Capsule platform are lots of platforms
floating almost under it. One of them has a spinning steel bar with a spiked
ball on each end. Dig into the circle of the star sign.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. "sgel eerht htiw
enihcam eht fo relleporp"
Means: "Propeller of the machine with three legs."
Location: In the Capsule planet, on the number 2 machine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
18. "rats gnikcits"
Means: "Sticking star."
Location: Take the missile from the large Moon and glide into the side of the
platform you land on. Climb over the star sign sticking out of the side and
dig into its metal circle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. "A bunch of black containers at the base."
A third non-reversed hint.
Location: At the most bottom level look for lots of floating containers
between two platforms. Glide through them to get the emerald shard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. "sgel eerht htiw 1 .on enihcam"
Means: "Machine No. 1 with three legs."
Location: This one is pretty much self-explanatory, just go to the capsule
planet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. "? ... gniworg neerg htiw noom tnecserc"
Means: "Crescent moon with green growing...?"
Location: Most bottom level, look for the platform with green crystals. There
will be a crescent moon sign with a green crystal "growing" out of its metal
circle. Dig behind it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. "gnihtemos neewteb noom eht"
Means: "The moon between something"
Location: Go up to the large moon and take its missile. Land and take another
missile. As soon as you land on the next platform, drop down and glide under
the upside down buildings. Between them is a large platform with 6 metal
containers. On the side is a crescent moon sign between star signs. Dig into
the moon sign's metal circle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. "reniatnoc gniylf"
Means: "Flying container."
Location: Highest level, go to the balcony with black unbreakable containers.
Near the ledge is a single floating metal container. Destroy it with a Skrew
Kick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. "noom suoregnad"
Means: "Dangerous moon."
Location: Take the missile from the large Moon. Beside the large platform you
land on, there will be a smaller one beside it similar to the "rats suoregnad"
hint. Dig into the crescent moon sign metal circle on the small plaform, not
the one sticking out the side of the large one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. "The machine that protects the storage container."
Yet another non-reversed hint.
Location: This one's tricky to find, and I was almost about to type I didn't
know where to find it. Take all the missiles from the large moon. Don't
rotate the camera. When you use the last one, glide around the balcony
forwards until you see really long large containers. On top of the rightmost
container is a GUN robot. Kill it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
26. "thigil derit"
Means: "Tired light"
Location: In the small moon, look for a tilted yellow light, the shard is
right under it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
27. "kcor a no gniworg lewej a"
Means: "A jewel growing on a rock."
Location: Go to the large moon. Run around in a circle near the edge and look
for a green crystal growing from the ground. The radar signal should change
to yellow. Jump off of the edge and glide onto the wall. Climb towards the
right and you will see two large crystals "guarding" the emerald shard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
28. "ynoclab thgil eulb"
Means: "Blue light balcony."
Location: This MAY seem self-explanatory, but in fact it's a deceitful hint.
The shard's not really in the blue light balcony, but in fact in the YELLOW
light balcony. And yes, it's at the topmost level of the stage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
29. "eluspac eht fo pot eht"
Means: "The top of the capsule."
Location: This implies exactly what you read. Fly to the Capsule planet, and
glide towards the top end of it, the shard will be in the center of it. It's
easily attained if you glide right towards it so Rouge will grab onto it like
a wall, allowing you to climb towards the shard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30. "thgil detlit eht fo esab eht ta"
Means: "At the base of the tilted light."
Location: Go to the large Moon and run around in a circle until the radar
signal turns yellow, you should stop at a blue light. Jump off of the ledge
and grab onto the side of the moon so you climb towards a light beam sticking
out of the ground, it has a green crystal beside it. Dig right next to the
crystal and below the light beam.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. "Watchman of the yellow balcony."
...another non-reversed hint. I didn't think there'd be this many. This is
the fifth thus far.
Location: Pretty self explanatory. Kill the GUN robot at the topmost level of
the stage, in the balcony with yellow lights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
32. "edisni toh s'ti"
Means: "It's hot inside!"
Location: Go to the large moon. The radar signal should appear green or yellow
as soon as you do. No wonder, right on this surface is a meteor half dug into
the ground. Walk into its vicinity and wait for it to explode on its own,
showing you the shard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
33. "elcric thgil wolley"
Means: "Yellow light circle."
Location: Small Moon top, look for the shard under one of the yellow lights.
I have a feeling this shard may appear under any of the lights, so just follow
the radar signal, you don't have to dig for it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
34. "thgil detlit"
Means: "Tilted light."
Location: It's just like the previous hint number 30, except it's in a
different light beam, and it's actually near the ledge of the large Moon, so
you don't need to dig for it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
35. "gel 2.on"
I bet you could name a hairgel brand like that. Sounds cool. X)
Means: "No.2 Leg."
Location: Once again, look for it in the Capsule planet, it's on a machine
with the number 2. If you take the missile in front of you from where you
start you'll ride right next to it, the radar signal even turns red.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
36. "sthgil der yb dednuorrus xob a"
Means: "A box surrounded by red lights."
Location: Use the missile from the platform above the large Moon. The radar
signal should turn green. Drop down and glide towards the platform with 6
metal crates between the two inverted buildings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
37. "esuoh ylenol"
Means: "Lonely house."
Location: Go to the large Moon. The shard should be laying beside a large
green crystal beside, I guess, the "house" in the center of the area.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
38. "wolley ni eulb"
Means: "Blue in yellow."
Location: Take the highest missile in the stage on the platform you land on
from the missile of the platform above the large Moon. When Rouge lets go of
the missile, push A and then perform the Drill Drive. I dunno if this will
happen to you, but when I did this, rouge dug the shard out, even though the
radar signal was at green. The signal goes red in the platform below this one,
which is in the metal circle of the crescent moon sign.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
39. "ynoclab thgil der"
Means: "Red light balcony."
Location: Exactly where it says it is. Topmost level, balcony with red lights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
40. "lwob a ni neerg"
Means: "Green in a bowl."
Location: Large moon, get the shard lying right beside a medium-sized green
crystal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
41. "lian der"
Means: "Red nail."
Location: At the top of the Capsule planet, it has fins coming out with red
lights on the tip. look for the shard on these red lights, as I sense the
shard may appear on multiple "nails". As the camera angle changes
automatically, they do look like a red nail when you're on the red light,
don't they?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
42. "renwo s'etiroetem eht fo esuoh eht"
Almost sounds like latin. o_O;
Means: "The house of the meteorite's owner."
Location: Right under the "house" of the small Moon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I could get after over 20 plays through the level checking hint
screens. If you find any hints that I didn't list, let me know!
