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.
