Today's Gameplay Point:


Well you didn't have missles fired at you! Time to venture in the smelly Monkey caves! Remember to bring along a Skip Sandwich and a Picnic Lunch. It's awfully annoying when you realize you don't have these items and you have to go back. Anyway, once you get the Yogurt Machine, and learn the Teleport ability, go off to the Monotoli to face the Clumsy (or DEADLY) Robot, so you can save Paula! Once you get to Winters, save your game.


Today's Challenges:


  • Get every item in the Monkey Cave in 7 minutes and 30 seconds (or less).
  • Avoid all Sentry Robots (except for the first one).
  • Defeat the Clumsy Robot in 40 seconds or less.
  • No Super Bombs against the Clumsy Robot.


Mother 2 Factoids:


In EarthBound, what he says can sound like a dirty joke if you have a twisted mind. This guy in Mother 2 sort of says the same thing as his EarthBound counterpart. Except instead of Solitare, he mentions he lost at Monopoly. Like many various changes, this one was probably due to trademark issues. Of course, it's also interesting that the guy in EarthBound doesn't say that he just lost, but that he lost his shirt. Many people originally thought the Mother 2 version would mention "Strip Poker". But it seems this guy was playing "Strip Solitare"? It's disturbing any way you cut it.

Gameplay Hints/Tips:


Those desks are welded to the ground. Again I'm going to mention to bring the Picnic Lunch and the Skip Sandwich with you to the Monkey Cave! There's nothing worse than having to go all the way back, or having to go all the way back again because you bought the wrong items. But once you have those items, be sure to seek out every item in the Monkey Cave. These include, the Flame Pendant, Broken Tube (Hungry HP Sucker), and the Bag of Dragonite (useful for the Clumsy Robot Battle). When you reach the Monotoli building, you'll probably want to avoid the Sentry robots, since they have damaging bottle rockets. This may prove to be a challenge, but it is possible to avoid them all (except the very first one I think). Finally, when you reach the Clumsy Robot, remember that he has Psychic Shield surrounding him. Use the Shield Killer, or a weak PSI attack (PSI Flash A). Hold off on attacking him until he eats his Bologna Sandwich (how a robot can eat food is a mystery to me). Then do an all out assault on him with Super Bombs, PSI Special, and the Dragonite, until the Runaway Five come in to save the day.
