Credits ============================================================================ I. Introduction ============================================================================ Hi, welcome to my second FAQ. It is for a game that has good graphics, a game where you have to rely on stealth rather than rushing in with guns blazing, a game where you must avoid guards, dogs, and guards with riot shields to survive, no, I'm not talking about Metal Gear Solid 2, I'm talking about Bonanza Bros. for the Sega Genesis. Bonanza Bros. is a Genesis remake of a game released on many consoles. The point of the game is to collect all the items in the building, then head for the exit, to your getaway blimp. ============================================================================ II.

News and Updates ============================================================================ February 27, 2003: Started to work on this FAQ. March 3, 2003: Submitted this FAQ to GameFAQs December 8, 2004: Submitted to HonestGamers ============================================================================ IV. Story ============================================================================ From the Instruction manual: "The Bonanza Brothers, Mike and Spike, two of the most famous investigators around, get a strange phone call one day. The caller doesn't reveal his name- he only asks the Bonanzas to meet him, at a special time and place. They hesitate at first, but the caller's last words stick in their minds. "I'm certain that this will prove to be a very lucrative partnership..." Mike and Spike arrive at the boarded-up front of what used to be a grocery store. "He said we should go in," says Mike, and in they go, wondering what's going on. "Yo! Anybody here?" shouts Spike into the darkness. Suddenly a sharp click and a flash of light send the Bonanzas diving for cover. "It's a set-up!" they yell. They lift up their heads slowly to check the room. The TV has been mysteriously turned on, and a figure begins speaking to them. "I can't give you my name. I'll just tell you that I'm a businessman with a problem. Many of my properties have been targets for robbery recently. I don't know why they've been hit, but it's become quite a costly situation. I need the two of you, the renowned Bonanza Brothers, to test my security forces. I have already had various items- money, paper, and the like- placed in ten of my establishments. Your job is to retrieve every single item. If you succeed, the reward will make Fort Knox look like pocket change. Good Luck..." The figure fades out, and the Bonanzas stare at the screen full of static. "Ya think this guy's on the up an' up?" Mike asks his brother. "I tell ya what," Spike replies, "we're sure gonna find out!" From the game: Mike and Spike are watching the TV: Mystery Man: "Good Evening Boys... I've got a job for you that's right up your alley. We're going to clean up Badville once and for all. To do that, we need evidence. And it's up to you to get it from those crooked joints that are run by Counterfeiters and Cheating Casino Operators." Mike and Spike: "We'll get the treasure within 3 minutes." ============================================================================ V. Controls ============================================================================ Up: Up Down: Down Left: Left Right: Right Jump: A or C Gun (Doesn't kill guards, just knocks them out): B Pause: Start Back against the wall: Left or right while next to a wall. Open Door: Back against the Door, then press B Pull lever: Back against the lever, then release the button, you should be holding the lever, press B, then you will pull it. ============================================================================ VI. Walkthrough ============================================================================ NOTE: This walkthrough is for when you play with one player. NOTE 2: When I say "Knockout" a guard, I mean for you to use your gun on them. ---------------- Level 1: COMPANY ---------------- Items: Floppy Disk (2), Secret Document (2) Traps: None Guards: Blue Guard (5), Shield Guard (4), Light Blue Guard (4) Walkthrough: Open the door, walk inside, get the floppy disk, then knockout the blue guard. Open the door to the next room, which should smash the Blue Guard in it's path, then open the door and grab the secret document. Go back to the First room and go up the stairs, and knockout the Blue Guards to the right, now watch the Shield Guard, keeping the Blue Guards knocked out. When the shield guard turns his back toward you, open the door, knock him out and grab the Secret Documents. Now open the door to the next room, smashing a shield guard, then grab the second floppy disk. You should get the message that the job is completed (If you don't, then check the map for anything you could have forgotten), so open the door to the next room, if it misses the shield guard, then his back will be facing you anyways, so knock him out. Afterwords, head up the stairs marked "exit", where the Bonanza Blimp will come by and pick you up. Level Completed. ------------------------------ Level 2: MILLIONAIRE'S MANSION ------------------------------ Items: Money (4), Stock Certificate (1) Traps: Can (1), Rake (1), Zipline Guards: Green Guard (8), Shield Guard (3), Fat Guard (1), Waiter (3) Walkthrough: Open the door the first room, smashing the first Green Guard, the other guard is asleep and he'll only wake up if you trip on the can, so jump over it, grab the Money, then go up the stairs (But not all the way up). Now wait until the shield guard is in front of the stairs then come out when he is not looking and knock him out, you should knock out the Green guard too, then open the door. Wait until the Green guard in here moves toward the Money, then jump over, knock him out, and grab the cash. Now go back to the previous room (The shield guard should be in the door's path, so you won't need to worry about him). Then go up the stairs, but not all the way. When the Shield Guard turns his back, come out and knock him out. Open the door when the Waiter is in it's path, then shoot the Green Guard. Go to the other side of the room, making sure to pass the Guard looking out the window quickly because he will look in your direction after a while, then grab the Stock Certificate near the door. Go out the door. Now you should be right under a Zipline, jump on to the handles, ride it, and you should crash through the wall of the second building. In the room you land in, there is a lone Fat Guard, so jump onto the boxes and knock him out (Remember, it takes 4 hits). Grab the Money near him and go down the stairs. When down the stairs, knockout the Shield Guard and grab the Money on the car. Now you should get the "Job Complete" message (If you don't, then check the map to see if you forgot anything), so go up the stairs, knockout the Fat Guard and go up the Exit stairs to complete the level. --------------- Level 3: CASINO --------------- Items: Videotape (2), Slot Machine (1), Briefcase (1) Traps: Spring (6) Guards: Blue Guard (1), Green Guard (1), Shield Guard (10), Fat Guard (4) Walkthrough: Open the door, smashing the Fat Guard inside, then go down the hall quickly and go up the stairs, when up there, knockout the Blue Guard and go down the stairs next to the ones you went up.

You should be getting the "Job Completed" message, if not, then check the map to see if you forgot to get anything.

Go downstairs, knockout the Shield Guard, go downstairs, grab the Printing Plates before the Shield Guard catches you. You should get the "Job Complete" message, if not, then you forgot something. Go upstairs, let the Shield Guard go under the Weight, then pull the lever. Go upstairs, knockout the Shield Guard, then go up the "Exit" Stairs.

There are 10 items total that you need to collect, and you cannot afford to run out of time (If you do, you lose a continue and all the items are put back in their original positions).

Enemies ============================================================================ NOTE: If a Normal Guard (non-shield non-fat guards) fires his gun into the air, it means that he has a gun. If a Normal Guard does not have a gun, he will squeak his shoes. Both attracts nearby Guards. Blue Guard: Your basic guard, most of the time, he only has a nightstick. Green Guard: Same as the Blue Guard, only most of the time, he carries a gun. Light Blue Guard: Same as the Green Guard, always has a gun, travels with other Light Blue Guards most of the time. Shield Guard: The biggest pain in the butt in the whole game, always has a shield, can only be shot from behind and in the sides, he's invincible in the front. Also, when he gets up, he will always face his shield toward where you shot him from. Unlike the other guards, the shield guard can always jump, in fact, he will sometimes jump down into the stairways and open doors, but most of the time he won't go all the way down the stairs. Attracts other guards by squeaking his shoes, he has his weapon out even when he isn't alert, that is how you tell if he has a gun or nightstick. Fat Guard: Fat, wears a purple jumpsuit, throws bombs, punches you when you are up close, takes 4 hits from a gun to take down. Waiter (Type 1): Doesn't attack, when he sees you, he will drop the plates he is carrying, alerting the guards. Waiter (Type 2): Only on the Deluxe Liner level, instead of falling, he throws the plates at you. It's random as to which type you'll get, and I've only seen Type 2 on the Deluxe Liner level. Dog: When it sees you, it will bark, alerting nearby guards. It attacks by biting you. It will also follow you up or down stairs. ============================================================================ VIII. Traps/Objects ============================================================================ Cans: When you step on it, you will fall on it and alert nearby guards. Just jump over it to avoid it Rakes: When you step on the rake part, the handle will come up and hit you in the face. Jump over them too. Doors: You only have to worry about them if your being chased by a shield guard or if your playing a two player game. If you are in the door's path when it is opened, then you will be smashed and you will lose a life. Of course, you can use the door against enemies too. Just open the door when the enemy is in the door's path, and he will be smashed. Weight: It looks like a giant weight with the word "DANGER" on it, with a lever nearby. Pull the lever and the weight will come down if anybody is under the weight when it comes down, they will be smashed. You should only need to worry about this in a 2-player game, as the player is the only one who can pull the lever. Only on the Mint and Deluxe Liner levels. Robot: Put your back on a purple robot, then press B to put it's head on. Great way to hide from pursuing guards. Only in the Laboratory level, 1st floor. Zipline: Diagonal Line that takes you to another area of the level. Just jump on to the handles at the higher end of the line and watch them take you down the line to another room. Only in the Millionaire's Mansion and the Art Museum. Spring: Only in the Casino level. When you jump on it, you will go high into the air. Trapdoor: A Dark spot on the ground, when you step on it, you will fall through it. Only in the Pyramid level. ============================================================================ IX.

You will control Spike with the second controller. Hints ----- Restart Clock: To restart the clock back to 3:00, just use a Continue. Very useful on Level 10, when you need a lot of time. Keep in mind that if you run out of time on a level, you lose a continue and you will restart the level you are on. Restart Guard Positions: When the Guards are off the screen because you walk away, they're very likely to restart to their original position and mood. Follow the Bullet: Unlike the previous Bonanza Bros. games, the bullets will disappear when they reach the edge of the screen or hit. You can prolong the Bullet's life by following it, this is a great way to nail guards and hide before they see you. Getting over the Shields: To get past a Shield, although the Shield Guard is likely to see you, it's a good way to get past him if he did see you. Getting over Traps: Walk up to the Trap until you are one step away from stepping on it and jump while still walking, you should jump over the trap. This takes a lot of practice to master. 2-player game hint: The levels in a Two-Player game are exactly the same as the levels in a One-Player game. You should be able to save time by having one player go a different direction than the other player. For example, in the Company level, one player should go upstairs in the first room, while the other player goes straight, then both of you meet at the exit. ============================================================================ X. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ============================================================================ Q: Can you kill Guards in this game? A: No. Sega probably wanted to keep the game for kids, not to mention increase the difficulty. Q: Why is the game story and the instruction manual story different? A: I'm guessing there was one team who would work on the game and one who would work on the manual and they probably couldn't decide on which story to use before the deadline or they just didn't communicate enough, as there are other mistakes in the manual. Or, there are two versions of this game. Q: What differences are there between this version and the past versions? A: The only other version of this I've played was the Master System version, here are the changes: 1. Better Graphics and Sound 2. Two-Player mode added 3. Robo and Mobo changed to Mike and Spike 4. Options screen does not have time selection, choose character, and choose how many Credits you have in the game. 5. MS version had "Antique Store" and "The Bank" levels 6. MS version had themed guards (Such as Magicians,Ninjas, Samurai, Robots, Scientists) 7. MS version had different colored Shield Guards. 8. Genesis version has Shield Guards in earlier levels. Q: Why is there a "safe" item in the introduction to some levels? A: I'm guessing that: 1. The safe item was added in early in development, but the developers forgot to or could not take it out before their deadline, and added items that were already made to take the place of the Safe item. or 2. The safe item is like a mystery item, and the items you find are what was inside the safe. Q: Will there be any future Bonanza Bros. games? A: Yes, on the PS2, Sega is re-releasing Genesis classics, including Bonanza Bros. It's going to be called "Sega Ages". ============================================================================ XI.
