RE: Animaniacs
Script Locations
Sci-Fi stage
1. The first scene of the script is in the outdoor area at the beginning of the stage. Proceed to the right until you see two pieces of terrain that are taller than the screen. You will need at least two of the Warner kids to collect this one. Go past the second tower, stack up, and jump onto the tower on the right. The script is above this tower.
2. Proceed past the extraterrestrial background to the staircase. Near the foot of the staircase is a scarecrow. Dash attack the scarecrow four times, and its head will fly off and reveal the second scene of the script. ** NOTE, be careful not to dash too far to the right, or else the alien creature will appear and make life difficult for you.
3. After dash attacking the scarecrow, climb the stairway. In stead of going through the door, make a short stack (3 Warners req.) and jump to the left. The script is there.
4. The fourth piece of the script is in the area immediately after the terminator boss. You will be in an area with many breakable objects such as crates and stage lights. Ralph is also in this area. In stead of going right, dodge Ralph and break the stage light on the left. This will open a secret door to a bonus backstage area. When you exit this area, Ralph will be gone, and you will be at the exit of this area. Instead of climbing the ladder, go left, and break the first crate you see. The script scene will be inside. Don't go much farther left, or Ralph will reappear. Instead, go right and climb the ladder next to Hello Nurse.
5. After completing the set scrolling screen with the giant gear, you'll see an exit door along with the mime who's leaning on a cane. Take the cane, and it'll turn into the last part of the script in this stage.
Fantasy stage
All four of the scenes of the script in the fantasy stage are in the Anvilania section of the stage. Since these scripts are all found by going to out of the way places and not by opening secret boxes, doors, etc., I will give directions to the four of them in a step-by-step method to guide you through the castle. Steps marked with a "-" are listed to give you an idea where you should be, and are pretty much mandatory to finishing the stage anyway. They're just listed so you'll know when the important steps are coming up. A "*" indicates that you have a choice of paths (they aren't always obvious on the screen) and these are the critical steps to reaching each of the four scenes in the Fantasy Stage.
1. - Dash under the first huge anvil.
- If you have at least 2 Warners, you may stack up to get over the wall
past the card soldiers. You're alone, you'll have to dash attack all
three soldiers to create a bridge of moving platforms in order to
proceed. (Note that these platforms move in two dimensions, so be sure
to be at the right depth into the screen to jump on them. They are
farthest back when moving to the right, and one level closer when going
back to the left.)
- Watch out for Ralph just past the wall. Pass him and bounce up the cards protruding from the walls.
- Dash under the anvil.
- (Optional) Break the three card soldiers to open a secret bonus area.
- Dash under the anvil.
* Carefully cross the moving platforms to the right. Do not jump off of the ledge.
The platforms are completely off of the screen for half of their movement area, so be patient.
- Dash through the line of card soldiers.
- Collect Scene #1.
2. - From the location of scene #1, jump off the ledge to the right.
- Watch out for Ralph at the bottom of the drop.
* Climb upon the first suit of armor to the right of where Ralph is.
* If you have three Warners, stack up, and jump to the springy cards
protruding from the wall to the left, or if you have insufficient
siblings, then allow Ralph to jump up onto the armor with you. Be SURE
to jump as he jumps up onto the armor, or he'll catch you. Bounce off
of his head onto the cards in the left wall.
- Bounce up the cards and collect the script that's hovering there.
3. Drop back down from script piece #2, and be careful not to land in Ralph's arms.
- Continue to the right, and bounce up the springy cards.
- Dash through the card soldiers. Do NOT jump off of the next ledge.
* You will need at least two Warners here. Stack up in either of the back two layers of the screen.
* Jump to the right, and bounce up the cards in the wall. (NOTE these
cards are staggered between the back two layers of the screen.)
- Collect script piece #3.
4. This is the only scene of the script that's out in the open. After
beating the king (by luring him under the anvil three times), in stead
of going through the exit that opens, go to the right, and you will
find scene #4.
Aquatic stage
The first area in the aquatic stage is complicated enough to merit a play-by-play guidance to the three scenes there. This will be in the same style as the Fantasy stage guide.
1. - Jump on the raft and cross to the next island.
- Ride the barrel to the next island.
- Ride the raft across the water.
- Use either the barrel or the raft to cross the next water.
- Ride the barrel.
- Ride the raft to the island (It will have a raft in the back left and a barrel in front of it.)
* Take the raft, and QUICKLY proceed left. Collect >>ALL<< of the coins
that leap out of the water, and a script scene will appear on a nearby
island. It is safe to jump from the raft to that island.
2. - Return to the island that had the raft going left and the barrel.
- Ride the barrel to the right. (Keep moving, and the shark will miss)
- Ride the raft, then the barrel, then the raft. While riding the second raft in this
sequence, there will be a line of coins. They don't lead to a script, however.
* It is possible to leave the raft early and jump down onto an island. DON'T.
* Instead, continue to the right on the raft, to the island.
* While riding this next barrel back to the left, several coins will
pop out of the water in a zigzag pattern. Collect ALL of them, and a
scene from the script will appear on the island to the left.
3. - Ride the raft to the right.
- Bounce across the pink shells to the island with a raft and a barrel.
* Use the raft.
- En route, a long line of coins will pop up. Collect them ALL to get scene 3.
- Ride the next raft to the end of this area. As long as you keep moving at a
steady pace, the shark cannot catch you.
4. To get script piece 4, defeat the second octopus on the pirate ship, and then fire the cannon after a moment. 5. Script scene 5 is on the pirate ship in the area where Ralph chases you. There is a breakable crate in the second set of boxes that you run on. It is hidden amongst the unbreakable boxes on the left side of an opening in the boxes. 6. After beating Captain Mel's octopus, in stead of going through the exit, go to the right, and the last scene in the aquatic stage will be there. </PRE> Adventure stage
1. You need all three Warners to get this one. Climb from the sign pointing up to the platform. From there climb to the platform above you. From there, stack up again, as far to the right as possible, and leap to the 3-plank platform to the right. Once on that platform, stack up again to get the script piece above you.
2. To reach this part of the script, begin at the sign pointing up the ladder on the far side of the swamp. (You can dash attack the sign to open a secret door.) Go left, avoiding the alligator until you come to the lily pad in the backmost layer of the screen. (The second one you'll come across) Bounce on this pad to the platform above you. Stack up to reach the next platform. From there, jump to the single plank to your left. This is a falling platform, so quickly hop up the platforms above you (yes, they all fall too) until you reach the script piece.
3. This one is easy to get, but easy to accidentally leave behind, too. It is in the swinging ropes area. Near the end of this section, you'll swing into Buttons, knocking him off the screen. After climbing the falling platforms, and swinging across one more rope, you'll be at the end of the section. Carefully walk to the right, until Buttons returns from orbit. He'll have a piece of the script. If you walk too fast, he'll still arrive, but you'll go to the next area before you can pick up the scene.
4. Go through the first door you see. (It will be at the bottom of the collapsing staircase.) Inside it will be a room with a vampire flying around and a lot of spring blocks on the floor. High up in the right side of this screen is a piece of the script.
5. Near the end of the main area of the mines, there will be a group of doors underneath a crushing ceiling. Go through the next-to-last door and the script will be right there.
6. In that same row of doors, go through the third from the left. This leads to a room with Ralph, and a row of Gold coins in a diagonal line above him. These mark some invisible stairs. Climb them to the script piece.
Pinky and the Brain
The three scenes from the script that Pinky and the Brain still have are the easiest in the game to get, but two of them are not obvious. The third appears when you defeat Pinky and the Brain, and the robot suit explodes. The other two are obtained by throwing a bolt at the robot suit while it's airborne. The first time you hit it from the air, you get a scene, the second time, you get a gold coin, and the third time yields the next-to-last piece.
