UM JAMMER LAMMY V1.0 April 99! By: Howie-chan Disclaimer: I didn't make this game. I'm not musically gifted enough. But the guy that did Masaya Matsuura sure is! I guess Sony owns it. NOT ME! This isn't my game, I just like it a whole lot ^_^ And oh yeah, this FAQ is copyrighted by Howie-chan 1999! Try and rip me off now sucker! Intro: Ok ok people. This is my first FAQ ever!!! So if you've got a problem with it or wanna tell me you like it or if you even wanna add something, e-mail me at Wafflor@aol.com. Ok, now that that's settled, let's get down to it! I. Characters Lammy- She's the hero of the game. Guitar player for Milkcan. She is very shy and afraid, until she gets her guitar in her hands! Katy Kat- Bass player and singer of Milkcan. She's a fashion driven teen girl. Best friend of Sunny Funny. Ma-san- Drummer of Milkcan. I don't know much about her, but apparently only people in "Parappa Land" can understand her. Like R2-D2 in Star Wars. She's pretty strong too. Parappa- Hero of the original game. He was once shy and afraid like Lammy, but all his friends helped him become one great rapper. Sunny Funny- Parappa's love interest from the original. Haven't seen her Um Jammer Lammy though. Joe Chin- Self-centered jerk who lusts after Sunny Funny. Apparently he must be some kind of rich guy cause he owns a casino, chainsaw manufacturer, museum and probably other stuff. II. Levels Level 1 or "Now wait a minute! Who is this?" This level starts it off nice and easy. It'll pick it up. Just play and if you lose, try again, you'll eventually beat it. Cool: I haven't gotten yet, I barely got the game two days ago and I'm working on that now. Bonus: If you notice some of the moviegoers are in the audience. Also some other no name guys are there. I'll look for more. One good thing about this level is that it refers to Parappa the Rapper a lot. For example the song is almost the same as in Parappa and Lammy thinks of Mousellini, Chop Chop Master Onion, Prince Fleaswallow and Cluck Cluck the Cooking Chicken while thinking of an excuse for being late. They refer to the bathroom level. Level 2 or "B,back off! You're in the way!" Story: This level starts off with Lammy being late and turning everything off in her house. Then she jams out the door and heads towards the concert. On her way, she's stopped by a fireman who says that if she wants to get past him she's gotta help put out the fire. This level is slow and good for beginners. Some of the actions can be pretty long though. But if you play along to this funky song you'll beat it in no time. It took me 2 times to beat it. Cool: Same as level 1. Bonus: Look in back of the fireman to see a guy doing the Egyptian. A dance made popular by the bangles. Look through the crowd for some wacky characters. Level 3 or "After School Sale" Story: After eating tons of pizza with the firemen for a job well done, Lammy gets a big ol' belly. She runs into a bunch of men and women singing about babies and a caterpillar nurse takes her for being pregnant and takes her into the hospital. After a while, Lammy's stomach will go back to normal and the nurse will get mad and tell her that she should at least help take care of the newborns. She picks up a baby and pretends that it's her guitar. This level is pretty tough for a beginner. Especially those long actions. But if you have a problem with it sing along. It helps. This level reminded me of rockabilly or 50's rock n' roll. Especially that song "Johnny Be Good!" Cool: Same as those up there. Bonus: Nothing really. This song will stick in your head though. Level 4 or "Now which one is my left hand?" Story: After putting the babies to sleep with her rockin' lullaby, Lammy runs and catches a plane. The pilot seems to be a manic-depressive that changes by a conk on the head. When he's manic his face is red and he thinks he in a war. When he's depressive he'll talk real slow and forget how to fly. Lammy is forced to fly the plane and thinks the control stick is her guitar. This heavy metal level is great. The only problem with it is that a lot of the actions don't have spaces between them. You better have quick fingers for this level. One thing that helps is counting the number of times you hit a button repeatedly. Cool: Well, I actually got Cool on this one. The plane goes higher into the atmosphere and Lammy dons a space suit and floats aimlessly while rockin' out. Bonus: Look for a Parappa sticker in the background when Lammy's talking to the pilot. Nothing much else. Level 5 or "You said anything, didn't ya?" Story: Lammy lands the plane and makes a mad dash down the street. She quickly realizes that she has forgotten her guitar on the plane and it just took to the skies again. She sees a guitar shop and pleads with the owner that she badly needs a guitar. While pleading she lets it slip that she'll do anything for a guitar. So the owner takes up his trusty chainsaw and leads her out back where he's going to help her make her own guitar. This level is a little tricky cause of the beat. Make sure to pay attention to him. But if you concentrate you'll beat it. Cool: Nope... not yet. Bonus: Besides him mentioning Joe Chin the bear and the chainsaws little message, there's nothing special. Level 6 or "Vital Idol" Story: Lammy takes her homemade guitar and runs off down the street. She slips on a banana peel and falls flat on her back. Her spirit gets up and ends up in hell. She thinks it's the end of the game and starts to walk off. Some guy grabs her and pulls her off to a stage. The singer tells Lammy that she'll send her back to the land of the living if she plays good enough. One problem with this level. The beat goes faster and slower... it can become a real nag. Just concentrate. The music reminds me of some kind of music from the Middle East. Cool: I dunno... but I hope the singer leaves... she's annoying. Bonus: Those big skeletons on the side could be an ode to Oingo Boingo. At a very famous concert they had giant skeletons. If you get down to bad, those guys will shock Lammy and the audience. Get awful and the gates of hell open. Oh yeah, look for P.J. Berri walking by Lammy when she falls down. If you take a close look at him, you'll see he's eating bananas... murderer! There's also a Lammy look-a-like at the end of this level. I'm not sure what the story is with her, but she's the second player in multi-player. Level 7 or "Milkcan, that's us!" Story: Lammy wakes up and takes off down the street again. She has a flashback to when Katy Kat first tells her and Ma-san about their gig. They get their poster together and pick costumes. Lammy snaps out of it and gets to the door only to meet Ma-shon and Katy. They all say they got into a big mess and barely made it. They run inside and on stage. This level isn't too bad. Just seems a little longer than the rest. If you remember, the last level on Parappa was kind of long too. Not to hard though. During the second verse Lammy will jump out into the audience and play by her friends. Cool: Not yet.... Bonus: Parappa is here!!!! Just beat the level and you'll see him and the other Lammy. If you notice, the stick of dynamite on Ma-san's head is lit. Keep an eye out for moviegoers again. Oh yeah, before I forget. After you beat the level and save your game. The game intro will start up. Skip it and you'll see a little movie with Ma-shon chasing a fly. III. Other Multi-player Mode = To get this, simply beat the corresponding level. Then go to the stage select option and keep pushing right. You'll see other little sections of the chocolate bar. Pick one and play! I'm not sure what the two options are. But the way it works is Lammy vs. Other Lammy! You'll take turns doing the actions, but if you interrupt or play out of your turn you'll lose points and your opponent will gain them. So be good and share. Play as Parappa = Simply beat the game and move right on the chocolate bar. You'll see Parappa with a 2 over his head pick it and it'll show a short video and then he'll start rappin' with the firemen. He'll progress through levels normally, but the music will be different and he'll rap along. Before each level there will be a little story revealing more about the story before the concert... watch it yourself.
