    Default Bubble & Squeak: Help!

    I got this as a loose cart this weekend, no box or instruction manual. Does anyone know of the specific controls for this game? Specifically, there’s certain parts of the game you can’t get past if you don’t know the specific keystroke required to operate a gumball machine. I got it a few times by trial and error, but I’d prefer to know the proper way of doing it rather than just mashing the keypad and swearing at the screen when it doesn’t do what I want.

    Press C 3 times to deposit your coins
    Press A to take the gum out of the machine. Now you can jump up on Sqeak's back.
    Press down and C to get down off Squeak's back.

    Thats it, any more questions?

    Thanks. I actually figured it out on my own last night, but thanks for helping a fellow gamer out.

    This game is tricky. Who knew you could carry springs around? I had to see someone playing online and doing that, as I never would have figured it out on my own. D’oh!

    Thread necromancy as I don't feel the need to make a new thread...

    A couple of things:

    1. Is there any point to the underwater bonus levels at all? I mean, apart from totally wrecking your carpal tendons? There doesn't seem to be anything to collect, any bonus points for completing them and I noticed that once you complete the Peachpit Lagoon, they cycle back to the beginning. Is there any change in the outcome of the game at all whether you do these or not?

    2. Check out this video (specifically from about 57:10). Is it my imagination, or do the springs in the Amiga version have more, well, "spring"? As a result, Sandcastle Desert 2 in the Sega version strikes me as impossible to complete, at least using the technique detailed in this video. No matter how long I leave Squeak on that spring, there's no possible way for him to reach that ledge. Ditto another one located off to the left.

    You have to get Squeak to follow you to the post at the end (upper left of that part of the level). There’s a button you press to freeze and unfreeze him.

    Not necessarily on his head, but in his general area. Other things to know before venturing forth:

    • Gumball machines require three coins to operate. These allow you to “ride” Squeak.
    • When frozen, you can have Squeak vault you upwards using the UP button.
    • You can shove Squeak to the right or left by freezing him and then “shooting” stars while standing next to him.
    • Urns and springs can be moved around
    • Urns and springs can be stacked on top of one another.
    • You can “throw” urns and springs around (including into mud puddles) by releasing them while running.
