Noid has never really received the mainstream recognition it deserved in my opinion, because it is one of my all time favorite games. Featuring lots of innovative gameplay, the game is a fantastic side scrolling action/adventure game that is great fun for the entire family! Overall, Yo! Noid for the NES is one of my all time favorite games. I was also quite surprised to see that no one wrote a guide for this great game yet, so I decided to! This FAQ/Walkthrough is not finished yet (I will work on the walkthrough at a later time and date) but I hope you enjoy this guide anyways! ======================================================================= 1.1 Revision History -------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= v0.6 (December 15, 2000): What, you thought I forgot about this guide? AHAHA! I just have not had any time to work on it. But now I do. I updated the format to my current format, and added new information. Hopefully I will fix all the formatting errors that have plagued this guide, as well. I am going to work a lot on the walkthrough the next few days, by the way, so expect lots of updates from me for this guide. v0.5 (June 6, 2000): Sorry for the lack of updates the past few days but I have been really busy, but now that my best friend has left on vacation for a few weeks I can work on this guide a bit more than I was before. Today, I added the stage five and six walkthroughs (finally! Yay!) and also added quotes for the pizza eating contest. I also added a new Frequently Asked Question and also added a new section which is basically a section where I inform the readers on what information I would like to have about the game and which e-mails I will just throw away. I also added the pizza eating contest goals for stages five and six. Finally, I added a new section for pizza eating contest quotes. On a sad note, the Lakers did indeed survive the wrath of the almighty Blazers. And my New York Knicks went down in defeat. Oh well, thereÕs always next yearÉ v0.45 (June 2, 2000): I updated the format of the walkthrough, so now the stage walkthroughs are easily told apart because I separated them more. I also updated the pizza contest information some more by adding the goals of the pizza eating contest for stages three, four, five, and six. v04.1 (June 1, 2000): Well I should be done with the fifth and sixth stage walkthroughs by this evening, and should have version 0.45 done by tomorrow afternoon. For this update, I totally updated the top part of the guide, and it looks a lot better now, because of the ASCII line art. I also added a new credit. I may create a new section later, called "What I Plan to do in Next Update" or "Revisions Planned in the Future". This will give the reader a basic idea of what I plan to add to the guide in the future. But for now, I really did not add too much to this update. For now, just enjoy the new look of the top section of the walkthrough, and I will have the stage five and six walkthroughs done soon, I promise! v0.4 (May 31, 2000): Okay, so I actually got the third stage completed down. I was feeling so good about it, I went ahead and wrote down a step by step walkthrough for the fourth stage as well! This is quite tough for me to complete these walkthroughs, because I actually play the ROM, then pause the game every few seconds and write down what I just did. I also make sure to complete every step, even if it is as simple as jumping from one platform to another. Anyways, in this update I completed the third and fourth stage walkthroughs. Tomorrow, I will conquer stage five, and who knows, maybe the sixth stage also :O. I also made it easier to tell apart the different stages by putting stars around the name of the stage the walkthrough is for. V0.35 (May 31, 2000): Working on completing the stage 3 walkthrough but it is tough because it is the skateboarding stage and it is difficult to write down every step to completing the stage. But I am working on it and making progress. Anyways, you may have noticed the new format of the introduction pages, as now Revision History has its own section number, and I created two new sections: Reader Input (people email me every once in a while about this game) and Background Information about the game. Also, I changed the revision history so the newest update goes on top now. I also changed the format of the walkthrough a bit, especially in stage 3 walkthrough. The secret thing looks a bit different now. I also updated some of the information in the walkthrough and made it easier to read. V0.3 (May 30, 2000): Third version of the guide, got 2nd stage walkthrough completed. Also added a new question to the FAQ section and updated the pizza eating contest information. Also, now in each stage you will see 2 new categories: enemies featured in the stage and my personal thoughts on the stage. I also decided to reformat the walkthrough of the stages, so the format is a bit different now, as the stage walkthroughs are divided into paragraphs now. I also updated the introduction a little bit. V0.2 (May 28, 2000): Second version of the guide, got 1st stage walkthrough done. Also added new question to the FAQ section and updated the pizza eating contest information. v0.1 (May 27, 2000): First version of the guide, everything done except for walkthrough. ======================================================================= 1.2 Background Information about the Game ----------------------------- ======================================================================= But did you know it was based on a Japanese Famicom game? The original title was called "Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru" and the character was a boy with a mask and a hawk as opposed to the Noid's Yo-Yo. The game is basically the same, except the characters, enemies, maps, backgrounds, sounds have been changed. The stages and item locations/scrolls (different attacks than the Noid's, like lightning) remained the same, even the rising and falling first stage. The Pizza Eating Contest was originally a boss battle in which the boss used attacks by number (higher number more powerful) and if you had a higher number, you were able to attack, and knock their energy down (as opposed to pizzas eaten) The II logo was also used, and you had a helmet for protection. It was made by Capcom in 1990. Obviously Capcom USA and Domino's licensed it and made the cosmetic changes for an American release featuring a popular cultural icon at the time. -Credit Dan Zero (DanMan1251@aol.com) for the background info ======================================================================= 1.3 Types of E-Mails I Accept and Do Not Accept ----------------------- ======================================================================= ************************** *Type of E-mails I accept* ************************** -Information about the Game -Constructive Criticsm -Comments about the game or guide -Questions for me about the game ************************* *Type of E-mails I trash* ************************* -Asking me to post this guide on your website. -Blatant flaming or advertising ======================================================================= 1.4 AuthorÕs Information ---------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Name: Steve McFadden E-Mail: mcfaddensteve@netscape.net, webmaster@wrestlingcolumns2000.com My Web Pages Links: http://gamereviewers.cjb.net http://stephaniemcmahon.freeservers.com http://www.wrestlingcolumns2000.com http://www.reviewcritique.cjb.net htp://smcfadden.freeservers.com GameFAQs Contributor Page Link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/2134.html GameFAQs alias: DaLadiesMan (formerly known as SMcFadden, I changed it though) Yahoo Messenger: nicklacheysnightmare, mcfaddenvg or ilovestephmcmahon (same account, different profiles) AOL/AIM: McFaddenDaMan MSN Messenger: neverforgotaboutdre@hotmail.com TOTALS as of 12/15/00 Reviews: 372 FAQs: this was my 59th, I now have 59.

Noid is one of my favorite games on the original NES. Featuring the Noid, Domino Pizza's old mascot, this capcom-produced game was more like a pizza advertisement than an actual game. But the game is still pretty good and ranks up there on the list of the best NES games out there. GRAPHICS 7/10 The graphics aren't incredible, but they are very decent and do not detract from the gameplay whatsoever. The backgrounds are flat and generally uninspired but there is a decent variety of backgrounds, which is a welcome sign after playing Adventure Island. The enemies are very well designed as well. Decent graphics overall. MUSIC/SOUND 10/10 Yo Noid has an outstanding music soundtrack overall. Great music all around and the sound effects are great as well. The hip hoppy background music that plays within each stage is great. Overall outstanding music soundtrack that ranks right up there on the list of best music in NES games. CONTROL 9/10 The control in the game is responsive and solid overall. One of the buttons is jump and the other button is shooting out your yo-yo. Using special weapons iis easy as well. However, it is sometimes very difficult to control Noid when you are flying above town in the sky. it gets very frustrating after a while when you run into spikes three or four times in a row!!! Otherwise, the control in the game is pretty good. GAMEPLAY 10/10 I absolutely love the gameplay in Yo Noid! There is a lot of stuff to do throughout the game. You must travel throughout a variety of stages, including a haunted house and a circus. After every stage is one of the most unique things i have ever played in a video game: a pizza eating contest. Yes, a pizza eating contest.Basically, the object of the game is to eat more pizzas then your opponent, but not in real time, instead it is in a turn-based card game. Finding special icons in the stages help you greatly inn the pizza eating contest. You can do everything in a stage from basic platform action to skateboarding to flying over the sky, trying to avoid spikes, enemies, and fans that try to blow you into the vaunted enemies. Overall, a fantastic platformer that goes above and beyond the basic platformer action and expands on the ideas previosuly found in the genre. FUN FACTOR 10/10 Yo Noid may look stupid at first, but it is one of the most enjoyable and best games that i have ever had the pleasure of playing. With outstanding gameplay, good graphics, and lots of mini games, Yo Noid is a surefire winner. ======================================================================= 3.0 Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================= I am currently working on the walkthrough, and it should be done by July. ======================================================================== *STAGE 1 WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== LEVEL DESIGN: Pier Enemies Featured in the Stage: Purple Enemies that Carry Spears, and Fish that Jump out of Nowhere Large Scrolls: 6 (1st: Snowball, 2nd: Pogo, 3rd: Pogo, 4th: Pogo, 5th: Snowball, 6th: Pogo) Pizza Eating Contest Goal: Eat 11 Pizzas My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: As all first stages should be, the first stage in Yo! Noid really isn't all that tough. However, there are some tricky jumps in the stage, especially towards the end. Walkthrough: You start off on the pier. Head right and collect a small scroll and a large scroll (you can hit the large scroll with your yo yo and get a snowball logo if you wish). I recommend getting the 2nd large scoll however and hitting it to get the pogo logo. Moving on, kill the first enemy of the game, a purple enemy. Avoid the fish as you move to the right and kill yet another purple enemy. Kill the bird that flies by you while jumping, if you try to avoid it, it will probably kill you. Collect the II symbol as you walk by because it will help you in the pizza eating contest. Moving on, collect the small scroll and kill 2 purple enemies. Now the stage gets a little tougher because the screen is now moving up and down, giving it the effect of having wave effects from the water. Collect the 2 scrolls while avoiding the fish that jump out of the bottom of the screen out of nowhere. Kill another purple enemy, collect the scroll then jump to the middle box. Jump from box to box for a bit while avoiding falling in the water, kill the bird, collect (or hit) the large scroll, and avoid the fish. Wait for a box to appear, then jump from box to box. Avoid the next fish, kill the purple enemy, collect the large scroll, avoid the fish while jumping to an open box (the toughest part of the stage, in my opinion.). Kill the 2 purple enemies as you walk by, collect the exclamation point logo, and you have completed the first stage! ======================================================================== *STAGE 2 WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== LEVEL DESIGN: Icy Supermarket Enemies Featured in the Stage: Falling Ice Blocks, Skating Bears with Hockey Sticks, and Orange Eskimos that throw Blue Discs at you Large Scrolls: 4 (1st: Pogo, 2nd: Snowball, 3rd: Snowball 4th: Pogo) Pizza Eating Contest Goal: Eat 15 Pizzas My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: I really, really, true do not like this stage much at all. Some of the landings and jumps in the stage are quite complicated, and I found it difficult to maneuver Noid around. However, Stage 2 is home to the first major secret of the game, which may just make the stage even easier than first anticipated. Walkthrough: Jump from platform to platform and collect the small scroll. Moving on, watch out for the falling ice that comes down from above. At first It is one large block of ice but once it hits the ground it will shatter into three pieces, so be careful! Collect the large scroll while avoiding the three large blocks of falling ice. Collect the red pepper logo, jump from one platform to another, then collect the large scroll. At this point, you are on one platform, and the large skating bear is right next to you. Hit it five times with your yo-yo and the enemy will succumb. Avoid the 2 blocks of falling ice and collect the large scroll. Moving on, there are three platforms: a left one, a middle one, and a right one. The left one is where you stand and hit the skating bear with your yo yo. After killing the enemy, jump from platform to platform. You now encounter your first moving ice. Jump on it and make sure to keep balance because it is slippery. Wait for the perfect time, then jump over to the next platform. At this point, you will encounter your first breaking ice. These are large blocks of ice which stand still, but once you jump on them you only have a few seconds to get off before the ice breaks! While jumping from the breaking ice to the moving ice block. When the moving ice block reaches the top, jump and use your yo-yo to collect the secret x3 logo. There is another moving ice block right after this one. Moving on, go past the 3 breaking ice and jump onto the 2 breaking ice blocks. If you want to do the secret, read on, if not jump down to below where it says ***End Secret*** *************SECRET************ When you are on the two breaking ice blocks, jump to the left and use your yo- yo. The screen will light up and you will be taken to a secret place. You can get an extra continue here as well as moving onto the next stage. All you have to do is whack enough enemies in 30 seconds. Think of it as that carnival game where you have to attack the alligators that come out of the holes. However, there is also a boss character here that is worth 3 points if you manage to hit it. And whacking the totem pole look-a-like is not a good idea. Hit enough enemies in 30 seconds and you get a free continue and move onto stage 3! *************End Secret*********** So you decided not to do the secret. Okay, I have no problem with that. Who needs wussy secrets anyways, right? Moving on, jump past the 2 breaking ice blocks, and collect the 2 small scrolls along the way. Now comes the fun part: you have to successfully jump across 2 moving ice blocks. It is really difficult but once you get the timing down you should be okay. You land on a platform. Jump the next block and you will see a moving ice block moving from top to bottom, and an enemy that shoots this blue disc at you. Kill the enemy, jump on the moving ice block, kill the skating bear enemy, move past the breaking ice, and go down to the platform below. Kill the skating bear enemy, collect the large scroll, jump on the moving ice blocks, from one to another, land on the platform, walk right, and you're done with the stage (finally!) ======================================================================== *STAGE 3 WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== STAGE DESIGN: Skating in Central Park Enemies in the Stage: Flying Birds, Red Clown Guys with Tricycles, and Football Guys who fly in the sky and throw mini footballs at you. Large Scrolls: None, because you don't have a weapon in this stage. Pizza Eating Contest Goal: 12 My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: This is one of my favorite stages in the entire game. I love the fact that you can skateboard in the game, because as some of you may already know, I like to skateboard a lot for fun in real life. So any time a game incorporates some kind of skating mode or stage, I am a happy little master reviewer. The stage is kind of on the easy side, however, which may actually be good because the second stage in the game was pretty difficult, even for me, a Yo Noid veteran. Walkthrough: First off, I would like to comment on how to kill the enemies in this stage. Because of the fact that you are on the skateboard for the entire stage, you cannot use your normal weapon (the yo-yo) in this stage. Therefore, to kill the enemies in the stage, you have to use the tip of your skateboard to kill them. You have to aim perfectly to kill them too, because if you aim incorrectly you could end up dying! Starting the stage, do down the ramp, then go up the next ramp. Collect the small scroll then go down the next ramp. Do not worry about the top ledge yet, but if you want you can jump from the tip of the ramp over to the top platform if you want to. Collect the small scroll, go up the small ramp, and collect the x2 symbol. Kill the 2 birds (or avoid them, which is a lot tougher in my opinion) and collect the small scroll. Avoid the red enemy that rides down the ramp on the tricycle, then skate up the ramp. Jump high off the ramp to collect the x2 symbol. You can actually kill the small football player that flies by in the sky, but if you don't just avoid him (and the impeding bird that follows the football player). Go up the ramp, collect the small scroll, then go to the top ramp. If you went to the top ramp: kill the football player that flies by and avoid the bird (there really is no way to kill the bird here, because of the angle you are at) If you went to the bottom ramp: collect the two small scrolls, collect the red pepper logo (looks like a red exclamation point) and avoid the bird (although you can kill it if you want to) Go down the ramp and collect the x2 sybmol. Avoid the flying football player and the football he throws at you. Collect the small scroll, go up the ramp, then collect another small scroll. Go down ramp and jump. If you jump high enough, you can kill the football player that flies by. If not, just avoid him and the football he throws out (as usual). Collect the small scroll and avoid yet another football player (and yet another thrown football) Go on the top ramp and move forward, keep on skating and you should run right through the flying football player, killing him in the process! Collect the red pepper logo (red exclamation point), go up the ramp, avoid the football player, go down ramp, make a really big jump from one platform to another, and you are done with the stage! ======================================================================== *STAGE FOUR WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== STAGE DESIGN: High Rise Buildings Enemies: Purple Guy with Toilet Plunger, Gray guy with Pogo Stick, Yellow guy who spits fire at you, and orange balloons that fly by and then try to land on top of you. Large Scrolls: 4 (1st: Snowball, 2nd: Pogo, 3rd: Yo-Yo, 4th: Pogo) Pizza Eating Contest Goal: 0 My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: Another one of my favorite stages in the game! I think the coolest part of the stage is when you get the pogo stick, because then you can bounce around on it killing enemies. You can also make super jumps which can either help you or hurt you, especially when jumping from one orange moving platform to another. Walkthrough: Kill the plunger guy and jump on the small platform. Jump up and collect the secret x2 symbol (just jump up and use your yo-yo and the x2 symbol will appear). Kill the orange balloon then jump over to the next platforms. Collect the small scroll and kill the gray pogo guy (takes about five hits to fully kill him). He leaves behind the pogo stick. Jump on it and away you go. ********** ***POGO*** ********** Okay, so now you have the pogo. I figured I would just help you out real quick with the strategies of the pogo stick. The pogo allows you to make large jumps, but also can make quite small jumps at the same time, so pay close attention to how long you have been on the pogo stick. Also you have a limited time on the pogo stick before you light up and the pogo stick disappears. You have the pogo stick for about half a minute (30 seconds) so make sure you know when it is about to disappear, and then wait for it to disappear! Back to the stage walkthrough, kill the two plunger enemies and collect the large scroll. Collect the x2 symbol and kill the spitting fire yellow enemy. Kill the 2 plunger enemies and collect the large scroll. At this point, I would advise waiting for your pogo stick powers to disappear. Once you do not have the use of the pogo stick anymore, jump from one orange moving platform to another (there are 8 total platforms and 4 total jumps you HAVE to make, although you could make more). Kill the 3 orange balloons along the way. Use the screw to jump up to the top ledge, jump over the plunger enemy, turn around, and kill him. Collect the small scroll, jump from chimney to chimney, killing the three orange balloons along the way. Collect the small scroll, kill the plunger enemy, watching for the orange balloons along the way. Kill the spitting fire yellow enemy (it takes three hits to kill him). Wait for the spitting fire yellow enemy to fall over and then make the jump from one platform to another. Jump from one platform to another, jump from platform to another platform, collect the large scroll and kill the two orange balloons (or avoid them, the choice is you). Make the final jump and the stage is done! You don't have to go through a pizza eating contest so enjoy the next stage! ======================================================================== *STAGE 5 WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== STAGE DESIGN: Sewers Enemies: Fire that comes out of the wall, dripping water that falls out of the ceiling, flying blue fish, mice in buckets, purple guys who throw axe picks at you, and orange guys with spears. Large Scrolls: 3 (1st: Pogo, 2nd: Pogo, 3rd: Invisibility) Pizza Eating Contest Goal: 14 My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: The fifth stage in the game is not the toughest stage in the game, or the coolest stage, but the stage is still pretty fun to play. I like the fact that there is a wide variety of enemies to kill, and the level layout and design is pure genius, in my opinion. This stage is a lot of fun to play, and the unique premise of the stage (you are in a sewer, for crying out loud!) makes it even more unique and even more fun to play through. The stage does seem to go by a bit too quick, mainly because of the fact you are invisible for most of it, but overall the stage is a lot of fun to play through. Walkthrough: You start off this stage by having a choice of jumping up on a platform or staying down below. If you chose to go up: Avoid the dripping water and keep walking. Avoid the fire that shoots out of the wall, jump, and kill the enemy. If you chose to go down: Collect the large scroll, jump twice while avoiding fish, jump some more while continuing to avoid fish, and kill the mouse in bucket enemy. Collect the invisibility scroll. Kill the axe pick throwing enemy, jump on the box and move right with it, killing fish along the way. Kill the fish, avoid the fire that shoots out of the wall, kill the mouse in bucket enemy, and kill the orange guy with spear. Get on the box and move to the right with it, killing fish along the way. Make sure to avoid the water drip along the way. Get on the next box and move to the right, jump from platform to platform, killing fish along the way. Get on the next box and move to the right with it, avoiding the water drip and killing the fish along the way. Get on the next box, avoid (or kill) the fish, avoid the next water drip, get on the box, get off the box, walk to the right and you have completed the fifth stage! ======================================================================== *STAGE 6 WALKTHROUGH* ======================================================================== STAGE DESIGN: Ship Yard Enemies: Orange fish that jump out of the water and fly at you, bees that float up and down, green frogs, cannonballs, cannons (cannot be killed), soldiers, and orange frog (cannot be killed) Scrolls: 2 (1st: Snowball, 2nd: Pogo) Pizza Eating Contest Goal: None My Personal Thoughts on the Stage: The sixth stage in the game is one of the longest, yet more enjoyable, stages in the game. The ship yard premise of the stage is a good touch, and even if the stage seems to get a little boring by the end of the stage (avoid cannons can only be fun for so long) the stage is very fun to play. Too bad it is so damn tedious. I admit that this stage is fun to play, but the extreme length of the stage combined with the fact that you do the same thing over and over again means that this stage is not as fun to play as it should be. Walkthrough: Starting the stage, jump from platform to platform. Get in the boat. Jump off it and collect the two small scrolls, get back on the boat while killing the orange fish. Kill the bee, get the small scroll, and get back on the boat. Get off the boat, kill the orange fish, then kill the frog (to do this, wait until the frog jumps up) Touch the logo and the next platforms automatically raise up. Jump from platform to platform, killing the cannon ball along the way. Kill the two orange fish, collect the red logo and small scroll, go back and get on the boat. Kill the cannonball. Get on the platform, kill the bee, then get on the boat. Collect the small scroll, kill the orange fish, and jump from platform to platform. While jumping between platforms, collect the small scrolls, kill the orange fish, and kill the bee. Touch the logo, which automatically raises the next few platforms from under the water. Kill the bee and then kill the cannonball. Jump around from platform to platform. Get on the boat, kill the two orange fish, collect the small scroll, and kill the bee. Touch the logo, which automatically raises the next few platforms from under the water. Kill the cannonball, and then jump from platform to platform. Kill the bee. There is a secret here that can be accessed by jumping up and to the left on the same platform in which you killed the bee (if you see a boat that says Noid on it then you are in the right place) The screen lights up and the boss tells you your instructions. *************SECRET************ When you are on the two breaking ice blocks, jump to the left and use your yo- yo. The screen will light up and you will be taken to a secret place. You can get an extra continue here as well as moving onto the next stage. All you have to do is whack enough enemies in 30 seconds. Think of it as that carnival game where you have to attack the alligators that come out of the holes. However, there is also a boss character here that is worth 3 points if you manage to hit it. And whacking the totem pole look-a-like is not a good idea. Hit enough enemies in 30 seconds and you get a free continue and move onto stage 7! *************End Secret*********** So you decided not to do the secret? Okay, thatÕs understandable. Get on the boat, kill the cannonball, avoid the cannon, then kill the soldier that seems to charge at you. You cannot kill the orange frog (even after twenty something hits) so just jump over it and head to the right. Moving on, walk on the platform. Go down, avoid the cannons, and collect the large scroll. Keep on avoiding the cannons and the cannon balls that they shoot out at you (there are thirteen cannons to avoid, the last time I counted). Keep on avoiding them and you have completed stage six! There is no pizza eating contest so enjoy stage seven, which is the circus stage! ======================================================================== MORE COMING SOON! ======================================================================== ======================================================================= 4.0 Frequently Asked Questions ---------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Q: What is up with the pizza eating content in the game? A: Read below for my complete view on the Pizza Eating Contest, complete with tips and strategies! Q: What is with the large scrolls in the game? A: On the bottom of the screen, you have a meter. When it is filled up, you can do a special move which kills all the enemies on the screen. To get this meter filled up, you collect small scrolls (counts for 2 spaces filled) and large scrolls (counts for 10 spaces filled). When the meter is filled, hit a large scroll to collect a logo then do the special move! Q: How many stages are in the game? A: 13, and yes there is a pizza eating contest at the end of the game. The final pizza eating contest is tough, too. Q: Are there many secrets in the game? A: Well, there are not too many secrets featured in the game, but there are a few, mainly the icons which help you out in the pizza eating contest. Q: What is this continue thing I hear about? A: Okay, I can help you out on this question. If you earn over 20000 points in a stage, you get an extra continue. This includes adding your bonus time at the end of the stage. You can rack up lots of points and continues this way. Q: How much points do you need to gain extra lives? A: The first time you gain an extra life is at 20,000 points and then you gain another extra life at 50,000 points, and then more extra lives every 50,000 points after that. If you have any questions about the game, e-mail me and I will give you credit for the question as well as answering it here. I will also make sure to e-mail you back personally with the same response that I post here in this guide. ======================================================================= 5.0 Pizza Eating Contest ---------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= The most unique part of Yo! Noid for the NES, in my opinion, is the pizza eating contest. This is an unique mode that can be tough unless you know some basic strategies. Quick Note: The computer opponent usually goes first during the pizza eating contest. First off, you have cards, and the opponent has 9 cards. Usually you have a hot sauce logo on one of the cards, as well as a salt logo on one of the cards. You can use these cards at any time to annoy the hell out of your opponent... seriously. Also, the point of the contest is to have a higher score than your opponent. So if your opponent pulls out an 8, you should pull out a 9 or higher. Higher? Well, in the stages themselves you can find icons like a x2 or x3 symbol. These symbols help you in the pizza eating contest because they multiply your score times 2 or 3. So if you pull out a 6 and a x3, you get a score of 18. And if your opponent pulls out a 7, you win by 11 pizzas and get 11 pizzas added to the score! First one to eat the certain amount of pizzas win. STAGE 1: You have to eat 11 pizzas to win. STAGE 2: You have to eat 11 pizzas to win. STAGE 3: You have to eat 12 pizzas to win. STAGE 4: There is no pizza eating contest in the fourth stage. STAGE 5: You have to eat 14 pizzas to win. STAGE 6: There is no pizza eating contest in the sixth stage. More strategies to come. ======================================================================= 5.1 Quotes in the Pizza Eating Contest -------------------------------- ======================================================================= Note: This is a list of the sayings that occur during the pizza eating contests in the game. This section is not completed yet. START OF THE PIZZA EATING CONTEST Hello, and welcome to the pizza eating contest! The area champion goes first. THE COMPUTER ASKS YOU FOR YOUR DECISION OK how many pizzas do you want? IF YOU RUN OUT OF TIME BEFORE MAKING YOUR DECISION IF YOU EAT MORE PIZZAS THEN YOUR OPPONENT Woah, isnÕt that overdoing it? Wow. What a pig. You barely won that one. IF YOUR OPPONENT EATS MORE PIZZAS THEN YOU Zowee! Take that! Ha! I won! IF YOU AND YOUR OPPONENT EAT THE SAME AMOUNT OF PIZZAS Well that didnÕt prove much IF YOU BEAT YOUR OPPONENT IN THE CONTEST I give, I give! AARGH, you beat me! IF YOUR OPPONENT BEATS YOU IN THE CONTEST IF YOU FEED YOUR OPPONENT SALT DURING THE CONTEST Phew thatÕs hot! Too much pepper. IF YOU FEED YOUR OPPONENT HOT SAUCE DURING THE CONTEST More quotes to come. ======================================================================= 6.0 Reader Input ------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================= NOTE: This is where I put some helpful e-mails that I get from readers and fans of the FAQ. Hey! Love the FAQ, this game was a lot of fun! But did you know it was based on a Japanese Famicom game? The original title was called "Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru" and the character was a boy with a mask and a hawk as opposed to the Noid's Yo-Yo. The game is basically the same, except the characters, enemies, maps, backgrounds, sounds have been changed. The stages and item locations/scrolls (different attacks than the Noid's, like lightning) remained the same, even the rising and falling first stage. The Pizza Eating Contest was originally a boss battle in which the boss used attacks by number (higher number more powerful) and if you had a higher number, you were able to attack, and knock their energy down (as opposed to pizzas eaten) The II logo was also used, and you had a helmet for protection. It was made by Capcom in 1990. Obviously Capcom USA and Domino's licensed it and made the cosmetic changes for an American release featuring a popular cultural icon at the time. Well, I hope this was informative and insightful. ~DanZero, fellow GameFAQs reader, and poster on the Arcade board ======================================================================= 7.0 Other Information ------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Name: Steve McFadden E-Mail: mcfaddensteve@netscape.net, webmaster@wrestlingcolumns2000.com My Web Pages Links: http://gamereviewers.cjb.net http://stephaniemcmahon.freeservers.com http://www.wrestlingcolumns2000.com http://www.reviewcritique.cjb.net htp://smcfadden.freeservers.com GameFAQs Contributor Page Link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/2134.html GameFAQs alias: DaLadiesMan (formerly known as SMcFadden, I changed it though) Yahoo Messenger: nicklacheysnightmare, mcfaddenvg or ilovestephmcmahon (same account, different profiles) AOL/AIM: McFaddenDaMan MSN Messenger: neverforgotaboutdre@hotmail.com TOTALS as of 12/8/00 Reviews: 368 FAQs: this was my 45th, I now have 57.
