2nd turns, and on the straight after the 2nd turn. Repeat. You should come
out of the sled with 18 chips. If not, don't worry. Do a giant paraloop
in front of the cross you were grabbing in course 1 and 2, get those chips.
Still not at 18? Pass the temple, grab those 2, and head back and do waht
you did before. Not at 20 now? Ugh. That's it, you gotta take another trip.
Par: 15,000; Record: 35,160; Lap Time: 30 seconds.
[8-4-1] Mystic Forest -- Course 1
Ahh! This one. Well, go up-right and grab the stars, then the 10 beach
Ball. Follow the rings for the points. Paraloop the chips, and go above
the Ideya capture for stars, then come back down for chips. Then hit the
tree to bounce off, and follow the rings to the chips to the temple. Repeat,
on second rotation you can destroy it, even if you miss up to 3 (go ahead
a little). Par: 40,000; Record: 80,660; Lap time: 15 seconds. This can
also go on forever.
[8-4-2] Course 2
God, this entire dream is so annoying. Cool remixed music though. Head
straight right throgh the rings. Keep going straight for 3 chips. Keep
going straight until you see 4 stars. Paraloop it, and grab the good chips
inside. Head straight down and grab the 5 below the sighpost. Then go up
and grab 5 more in a straight line. Keep going right to insert into Ideya
Capture. Right above the Ideya Capture is a 7 beach ball, grab it and go
through the rings. Right above the last ring is some stars to be paralooped
for some Help. Now read off from the tree bouncing part from Course 1.
Par: 20,000; Record: 35,770; Lap time: 20 seconds.
[8-4-3] Course 3
Head up-right, and grab the chips and rings. Gu down-right from the
ring for more chips and rings. Hit the speed boost and head down a little,
while going right. You will see the Ideya, avoid it. Now you will
come to some old temple. Hit the switch, and grab the 15 Beach Ball.
Hit all of the switches and the rings, and in the temple, head straight
down for a cool secret. Otherwise, keep going right, into thje swamp for
some gems, then keep going right. Break the cage for more chips (Cave-Goers
-- You will pop out of a log. Head left for the cage.) See temple. Repeat
route. Ideya gone on 2nd lap. [Note -- After I wrote this, I figured out
a faster way. Head left for the cage, then grab the 3 chips before the
start, THEN go. Ideya gone on 1st lap -- Another Note: I'm wrong, you get
19 chips. Mabye if you took a raincheck on stuff from course 2...] Par:
25,000; Record: 51,910; Lap Time: 30 seconds.
[8-4-4] Course 4
Head right, go above the spiked ring for 3 chips, then hit the speed.
You will come to a signpost. Paraloop the stars above it, and grab the
chips below it. You should have 15 chips now. Head right, in the middle,
and grab 5 more chips. Keep going right until the camera changes. Head
up-right until you pass between a row and a column. Head right for the
Ideya capture. Now go down, through the rings, and through the spiked ring,
then paraloop the void beyond. A free refill. Go back up one row, and hit
the speed to get out. Haed right while going through all you see to get
to the temple. Oh yeah, the 1979 Yugo in the overhead part is steerable,
and it's worth one Beach Ball if you park it in the garage in the
upper-right corner of the overhead zone. Par: 20,000; Record: 30,930; Lap
Time: 25 seconds; Dream Par: 150,000 (counting boss); Dream Record: 360,040
(ditto)
[8-5-1] Soft Museum -- Course 1
Confused? Don't blame you, this level is on Prozak, Ritilan, and some
LSD there too. Head right, young man, through the rings and under the Ideya
Capture. Paraloop the area where the 3D cross of stars and chips is twice,
you will uncover new chips and you want them. Grab the 6 Beach Ball and
bounce off the bed, straight up for points, then head down through the
rings and go under the next bed. Hit the speed, then go through the rings
and break the cage. Now you can destroy the Ideya. Repeat as directed.
Par: 40,000; Record: 79,870; Lap Time: 20 seconds. I can go on and on and
on... And so can you.
[8-5-2] Course 2
Go right through the rings, then grab the chips. And go straight through
the wall. On the ceiling and the floor sometimes are rings, smash the ring
piece for 2 gems, and pick up the ones lying around. You should have over
20. The Ideya is in the middle room, waiting for you to destroy it. Keep
going, stay as low as possible, and then leave. Hit the speed, and paraloop
the ring of stuff to get a refill. Repeat. Par: 17,500; Record: 35,220;
Lap Time: 30 seconds.People keep telling me this, I know, but I keep forgetting
to add it to the FAQ. When you bounce off a matress, or some walls, you can do
stunts for 100 (200) points, plus a +1 on the link counter. The same stunt won't
count twice until you regain control of yourself.
[8-5-3] Course 3
Right, right past the Ideya, and paraloop the first chip you see for
Help. Then get in the cannon. I'm serious. Chips on the left, then on the
right. Next passby, the chips are in the the yellow rings, on your left
with the orange ones. Then grab a 9 Beach Ball and go through all of the
rings and hit a bullseye on the star and chip board to score. Head right
after you hit the wall of speed and repeat. Destroy Ideya when ready. Par:
20,000; Record: 37,770; Lap Time: 40 seconds.
[8-5-4] Course 4
Head right and low until you reach the yellow ring, then go above you
and a little to the left. You will see 2 stars. Double paraloop both of
them at the same time for 8 chips. Into the museum, and anything you see
is grabbable. After the long pipe of rings do a paraloop on the bottom
mirror for 8 chips. Go outside the right door, and insert into Ideya. Keep
going right, and hang low. Par: 17,500; Record: 36810; Lap Time: 30 seconds;
Dream Par: 175,000 (boss inculded); Dream Record: 349,440 (ditto).
[8-6-1] Stick Canyon -- Course 1
Head up-right and go through the rings, until you come down. Then paraloop
that mess of stuff for a refill. Head right through the rings and chips
and stars. Above and over the Ideya (2nd lap), then go above the yellow
rings (through on 2nd lap and beyond) and through the spike ring instead.
Paraloop the void above the spike ring for Help. Then allign yourself right
with the magnets to grab more chips. Repeat. Par: 40,000; Record: 69,860;
Lap Time: 10 seconds.
[8-6-2] Course 2
Head right, grab 3 chips in front of a board. Follow the yellow rings
under a structure for 3 chips, and grab 3 more in the magnet. At the top,
go left to break the cage for 3 more. Then skip the Ideya capture, and
instead grab 3 more chips next to a pole. NOW go in the Capture. Now you
have 2 options here. You cand hit the speed and ride the rail, or go down
then right for the quicker path. The rail is worth more points. Whichever
path you choose, you end up at more rings. Keep going right until you hit
the temple. Oh yeah, the rail pattern is bottom-left, right, left, down,
down, right, any. Then go below where you pop out, and paraloop there for
more help. Par: 20,000; Record: 37,570; Lap Time: 35 seconds rail/20 seconds
normal.
[8-6-3] Course 3
Go right and follow the rings. Grab 3 chips, then follow the rings to
a neturalizer. Keep your speed up to move. Grab the 6 chips, then hit the
switch to get out -- Keep going right, right through the wall. head up
for 3 chips, then follow the rings and get maginitizied! Everything sticks
to you, and the more crap, the better. Oh yeah, if it brushes up against
something, you lose it. Chips still come to you. Cash it at the demagatiziner
-- It has big red numbers on it, and the number that comes up is your score
times 10 (or 20). Go right, then up to reach it after becomming NiGHTS
the Magnet. Now you should see the Ideya Capture. You have 20 gems, right?
Blow it up. After that, heah down then left, to grab a 17 Beach Ball and
to paraloop stars for a refill. Head right, then down, then left, then
down, then right while grabbing stuff. When you hit the power ring, do
stunts -- The temple is near. Par: 20,000; Record: 38,700; Lap Time: 20
seconds? (I don't know, I had no dash to keep the speed up. You want to
become a MAGNET, not a STATIC FURBALL)
[8-6-4] Course 4
Oh man, this is one long mofo. Head right, grabbing chips and stars
and avoiding downed electricial power lines. Then there's only one thing
I can say. Head up. Straight up. Until you hit your head. Then move to
one of the 2 columns left and go up some more. Then this is your ONE chance
to get the Ideya. If you miss it, Elliot can use the elevater located on
the floor before the ground. Use it. How to get down? Use the rails.
Speaking of the rails, have a pattern. 1st rail: Right, right, up to down,
going right, down, down, right. The 2nd one is the same as the one on course
2. And just in case your wondering, I'm playing right now, and not only
did I get an F, not only did I get a flat out 0, but Elliot landed right
on the last Ideya post. Then he flops back into the shrine. Par: 15,000;
Record: 27,410; Lap Time: 90 seconds; Dream Par: 150,000; Dream Record:
317,880.
[8-7-1] Twin Seeds -- Course 1
Twin Seeds is different from the other ones. You fly as Elliot or Claris,
not NiGHTS. Ideyas are not worth 2x bonus. You can't paraloop, but things
close by are attracted to you. And the most important: You have only 3
minutes to grab all 4 Ideyas. To start, let's say Elliot/Claris are so
sad, they can't stand it. They want to commit sucuide. Not enough hints?
Jump off the island to start. Here's another free hint (aren't they all
free?) You need EVERY SINGLE CHIP to move on. Here's another free
hint: Don't eat crackers in bed. One last thing: Usually, if you come close
to the par, it's an A. Here, if you do *NOT* make par, it's at least a
B. Okay, let's get started. Grab the 35 Beach Ball (yep) and hit the double
speed. Keep it straight until the 3rd chip moves. Then go up to avoid the
Ideya. Go through the rings, and grab EVERY chip in the following mess.
Be careful, some chips look like moons. More rings, then double speed through
rings and chips. Then there should be 2 yellow rings, with 2 chips. If
you don't have 18 chips after the 1st set of them, you missed some. Keep
the angle high, and you will see the other set. Cash in all 20 now. Par:
12,000; Record: 13,230. And no, there is no lap records here.
[8-7-2] Course 2
Quickly go through the rings in the tranasitition, then go under the
Ideya Capture, and hit that switch, then the speed. Go below the first
spike ring, come up through the cage, and over the other spike ring. If
you don't have 12 here, you missed one. Hit the switch, and grab that entire
circle of stuff, then hit that blue bubble as straight to the right as
you can. Follow it to the Ideya. Par: 14,000; Record: 16,070
[8-7-3] Course 3
In the tranasition, hit the switch for a shower of stars. On this course
and course 4, you don't need every single chip. Grab the 19 Beach Ball,
and just follow the trail of stuff until after the Ideya. Grab the 4 chips
in the yellow rings, then here's the REALLY important part. Go through
the rings, hit the speed, and KEEP DASHING. Stop and you're screwed.
Do it again, and don't stop after because there's 2 spike rings. Conserver
your dash, you will need it against Wizeman. Par: 15,000; Record: 17,010
[8-7-4] Course 4
Where are the chips? See those flashing balloons? Pop them for a special
prize. =) Or do this. After the tranasition, (you will pass over speed,
don't hit it though, cause you need control, you can hit it though if you
got skills), head right until you see some chips desending, then comming
to rings. Follow that and grab them. At the last ring, go up and hit the
speed. Pop flashing balloons until you find another ring, then go down
and say hello to the last Ideya. To free NiGHTS, you need to just slap
A, B, and/or C until he/she/it is free. Par: 10,000; Record: 14,330;
Dream Par: 75,000 (including boss); Dream Record: 116,020 (ditto).
Part 9: Stupid Pet Tricks (a.k.a Bugs and hidden
features you can use)
[9-1] Slide, slide along
You know when you get robbed of your Ideya's at the start, and the camera
pans to a monster putting it ina capture? Well, guess what? You can actually
move using the analog stick during this time. Shaves a few seconds off
of your first course bonus. Actually, the player springs back up while
the camera is on the first Ideya Capture, and he/she is knocked down right
before the camera comes back behind you. On a related but unrelated note,
the demo playback at the end of a stage is.. um... not 100% accurate. =)
[9-2] What's that sound?
Very simple. Pause the game, and hit L+R+Y for some weird menu.
[9-3] Link record of 369 where you can't grab 369 objects
A REALLY screwed up bug. When you finish a course, the link you had
when you entered the temple is recorded the second you enter, and so is
your score. If you paraloop something, but you don't grab it until after
you get in there, and the link is alive, the points go into your next course,
AND SO DOES THE LINK. If you could actually extend
the link beyond the temple, you could keep that alive (then there would
be a difference). Hoo boy, if you could link that until you picked up the
next Ideya....
[9-4] The A-Life System
A coolbeans part of NiGHTS. It tracks each and every single Nightopian
in the game, and how they feel towards you. Their feelings, and what they
do, affects further Nightopian growth. There's 4 normal motions, I just
don't know what. When they mate, they create another one (duh), and that
topian's skills is dictiated by their past generations, unless 2 of the
