1.	Introduction
==============================================

Ninjabread Man is a bad game that is virtually identical to
two other games made by the same company that made this game
(Anubis II and Rock 'N' Roll Adventures). This game is short
and easy, but there are some hard parts, so I decided to make
a FAQ for this game. Read on, unless you are hungry.

==============================================
4.	Basics
==============================================

Important things about the game.

At the top-left corner of the screen is Ninjabread Man's current
health. Ninjabread Man starts every level off with 5 hearts of
health. Every time he is hurt, Ninjabread Man will lose one heart.
Run out of hearts, and you will lose a life (you automatically
lose a life if you fall into a bottomless pit). However, after
defeating an enemy (excluding the Bee), a winged heart will 
appear. Catch it to add an additional heart to Ninjabread Man's
current health. After you reach ten hearts and collect one more,
Ninjabread Man will gain an extra life (in some game modes,
collecting an extra heart while you have ten hearts does nothing).

At the top-right corner of the screen you will see the current
amount of Blue Vials you have in a level. Collect eight Blue Vials
and enter the teleporter to complete a level in normal mode. In
other game modes, this will show other information.

At the very top of the screen is your current score. The score is
just for show, so ignore it.

At the bottom-left corner of the screen is the shuriken power 
meter. For every enemy Ninjabread Man kills with the shuriken 
attack without taking damage, the power level of Ninjabread Man's 
shurikens increases by one level, until it reaches level nine. 
Every time Ninjabread Man takes damage, the power level will go
down by one level, but never below level one.

The bottom-right corner has an arrow which points to the Blue Vial
nearest to Ninjabread Man. The arrow is generally unreliable, so
use it only if you are lost.

In general, the shuriken attack is safer than the sword attack.
The shuriken attack will eventually become stronger than the
sword attack, and while in shuriken mode, you can also control the 
camera by moving the targeting reticule to any edge of the screen, 
so you should use the shuriken attack as much as possible. 


==============================================
5.	Enemies/Hazards
==============================================

Here are the enemies Ninjabread Man will encounter (None of these
names are official, I just made them up).

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Cupcake Target
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Not really an enemy, just a target Ninjabread Man has to slash up
with his sword at the Training Dough-Jo.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Mobile Cupcake Target
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

A Cupcake Target that can move and attack, but is found only in the
Training Dough-Jo, where Ninjabread Man is invincible.

-*-*-*-
Cupcake
-*-*-*-

A cute little Cupcake with a cherry on top. They can only attack up
close, and they move slowly.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Slice of Cake
-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Pieces of cake (pun intended) that are usually immobile. They can spit
strawberries at you from a distance.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Strawberry Shortcake
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Not to be confused with that little girl. They are just like Cupcakes,
but move a bit faster.

-*-
Bee
-*-

An annoying enemy that attacks from the sky. They are pretty quick.

-*-*
Mine
-*-*

When Ninjabread Man approaches a Mine, it will damage him and any
nearby enemy, as well as knocking him back a bit.

_*_
Jam
_*_

Jam is like lava. Don't touch it.

_*_*_*_*_
Spike Pad
_*_*_*_*_

A pad with spikes that are retracted and released constantly.

==============================================
6.	Walkthrough
==============================================

Here's the part most of you are here for. This section covers how to
beat Normal Mode (due to the fact you must beat a level on Normal Mode 
to unlock the extra modes). There is usually more than one path through
a level, but I will explain the path that I find the most efficient for
completing a level.

NOTE: The enemy placement in this game is a bit... random. Sometimes,
my locations of enemies each level my be a bit wrong.

----------------------------------------------
6.1	Training Dough-Jo
----------------------------------------------

Not really a level (no Blue Vial collecting here, but you do need 3
scrolls), but you have to complete this to access the normal levels.
First off, when you start the level, a little animation will appear
showing you how to move. After watching it, press A and go through 
the visible door (If you want to watch an animation again, go up to 
the Dough-Jo Master nearest to where the animation originally occurred 
and press A).

After exiting the Dough-Jo, look/run around until you find a big
gate with the number 1 above it. Go through the gate and run down
the path until you see an animation show you how to jump (don't
listen to the instructions. Use the Z button to jump and save
yourself the frustration of using the Nunchuk). Press A and 
continue down the path until you reach a ledge. Jump onto it, and
you will see another animation showing you how to double-jump
(again, don't listen to the instructions. Use the Z button to 
double-jump and save yourself the frustration of using the Nunchuk).

After pressing A to close out the animation, double jump onto the
next ledge, jump onto the one after that, and double-jump onto the
final ledge. Go a really short distance down the path, and you will
reach some floating (and one moving) platform(s). Jump/double-jump
across them until you reach the path in between two candy canes (if
you fall, you will have to jump onto a path, run up, and try again).

Run down the path and collect the scroll. An animation will
occur, and the second gate will open. Retrace you steps back to the
training Dough-Jo, and look around for and enter the gate with the
2 above it. Run down the path until you reach some stairs. Jump up
the stairs and you will see an animation showing how to use your 
sword attack. Press A and continue jumping up the stairs, and stop 
when you see the top.

Go forward and down the next set of stairs. Kill all 6 of the Cupcake
targets and mobile Cupcake targets here (they cannot hurt you). You 
MUST use your sword to do this (this is all that affects them). The 
second scroll will appear after they have all Been killed. Collect
it and an animation will occur, and the third gate will open. Retrace 
you steps back to the training Dough-Jo, and look around for and enter 
the gate with the 3 above it.

Run down the path and jump up the stairs. An animation will start
showing how to use shurikens. After closing it out, jump to the top
of the stairs and destroy the 8 targets with shuriken. After all of
the targets are destroyed, the scroll will appear. Collect it and an 
animation will occur, and the final gate will open. Retrace you steps 
back to the training Dough-Jo, and look around for and enter the gate 
with nothing above it. Run down the path to complete the level.

----------------------------------------------
6.2	Lollipop Forest
----------------------------------------------

Move forward, just falling out of the small cave you start in. Continue 
to run forward and jump on the platform you will reach. Jump up the next 
two platforms ahead of you, and collect the Blue Vial (1/8). Enter 
shuriken mode and kill one of the enemies you see with shuriken. Collect 
its winged heart, and continue killing any enemies you can find on the 
ground with shurikens (don't leave the room), and be sure to be careful 
of the Mine in here. After you do this, your shuriken power meter should 
be at level 7, and your live count at 4 (unless you took damage).

Look around using shuriken mode, until you see the Blue Vial on a big
cookie platform. Use the series of platforms on either side of the giant 
cookie platform to get up there and collect the Blue Vial (2/8). Run 
around on the ground until you find an entrance to an area where you can 
see Strawberry Shortcakes. Jump into the alcove separating your current
area with the new one. Kill the Strawberry Shortcake directly in front of 
and below you and collect its winged heart (if any additional Strawberry
Shortcakes of Cupcakes attack you, kill them, but don't collect their
winged hearts).

Using shuriken mode, turn the camera right so you can see a Slice of 
Cake. Kill it with shuriken and collect its winged heart. Run around in
this room and kill any enemies you find (collect their winged hearts).
Now look around in shuriken mode until you see two Blue Vials. Collect
them both by jumping up a small set of platforms for each one (4/8). Now,
approach each alcove and listen carefully. Enter the alcove with the
mechanicalish noise (not the quiet or buzzing one).

Kill all of the enemies in the room on the ground and collect their 
winged hearts. Beware, because there is a well-hidden Mine, and a few 
Slices of Cake here. Look around in shuriken mode to find the Blue Vial
in here, and jump up a few platforms to reach and collect it (5/8).
Now look around for the Checkpoint Marker (a circle surrounded by a few
arrows). Jump up to it and activate it (it will make a nonstop annoying
sound). Find the alcove in here with the mechanicalish noise and go
through it. Run straight ahead and enter the nearby alcove.

Kill all of the enemies in this room (there are Bees in here, so you may 
have to look into the sky). Look around in shuriken mode for the blue
vial, and jump a series of platforms to reach and collect it (6/8). Now,
look around for the Checkpoint Marker and run into it. Go near the
alcove with the visible Mine and purple-dotted floor inside. Quickly
approach and run away from the Mine. Kill the two Cupcakes and single
Bee and collect their winged hearts.

Run around the room to find a "cookie sandwich" platform, with a
taller cookie/lollipop platform nearby. Jump onto the cookie/lollipop
platform. From here, using the nearby moving cookie platforms, reach and
collect the nearby Blue Vial (7/8). Exit this room through the only
alcove, and then enter the alcove directly to the right.

Kill all of the enemies in here, collecting their winged hearts. Look
around for the Blue Vial in shuriken mode. Jump up of either set of the
surrounding platforms, and collect the final Blue Vial. Enter the
teleporter (you may have to move around the camera and jump inside) to
complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------
6.3	Candy Cliffs
----------------------------------------------

When you start the level, kill the Strawberry Shortcake in front of you
with shuriken and collect its winged heart. Now, kill all of the enemies
with shuriken and collect their winged hearts (there are now Mines,
located close together). After this, you should have 9 hearts and a
shuriken power meter at level 7. Run around until you find a cave, and
jump inside it and run forward until you see a Cupcake. Kill the Cupcake
and collect its winged heart. Run forward until you reach a room.

Beware of the Jam filling the floor and the spikes, as they will hurt 
you. Jump onto the ground ahead. Kill the Bee in this room from a 
distance with shuriken. Run forward, and at the fork in the path, go 
left. Make your way past the first set of spikes, and jump onto the
platform to the left, avoiding the spikes there and collecting the
first Blue Vial (1/8). Jump back onto the main walkway after collecting
the Blue Vial, and go left, making your way past three sets of spikes.

Jump on the nearby spike pad (obviously when the spikes are retracted)
and jump onto the nearby platform with the Blue Vial and collect it
(2/8). Jump back onto the main walkway after collecting the Blue Vial,
avoiding any nearby spikes. Go right, avoiding the spikes, and touch
the Checkpoint Marker. Jump into the cave nearby. Kill the Strawberry
Shortcake inside and collect its winged heart. Run down through the
cave until you see some platforms.

Jump up the wafer platforms, and onto the cookie path. Run along the
cookie path. Kill any enemies you find here (and avoid the Mines) that
may appear here and collect their winged hearts. Jump onto the first 
cookie platform you reach. Jump onto the second cookie platform. Jump 
over the third and QUICKLY back to the second, destroying a Mine. Jump 
along the remaining cookie platforms to reach the frosted platform. 
Carefully run along this platform to reach the third Blue Vial (3/8). 
Retrace your step back to the cookie path.

Run along the cookie path until you reach the end of it. Kill the Slice
of Cake you can see in the distance and collect its winged heart. Run
across the nearby cookie bridge and kill the Bee on it. Collect the
Blue Vial inside the tiny cave (4/8) and fall down (don't move). You
will land on a cookie platform. Jump from the cookie platform to one of
the nearby moving frosted platforms. From there, jump to a frosted
platform that is further out. From there, jump into the checkpoint
marker. Run into and through the cave and run down a short bridge.

Kill the Strawberry Shortcake (a Slice of Cake may also be here) to the 
left and collect its(their) winged heart(s). Collect the nearby Blue Vial 
(5/8). Jump onto the first cookie platform, right from where the Blue Vial 
was. Jump across the cookie platforms (a Mine may or may not appear here, 
so be very careful) and jump through the alcove, landing on a giant 
cookie. Approach left-bottom purple block on the walkway.

NOTE: See this map: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/938506/51500 
for this puzzle and follow the outlined path. If you make a mistake, you 
will fall into Jam and will have to navigate an underground walkway and 
jump onto a purple trampoline to get another chance at this puzzle.

After crossing the walkway, collect the Blue Vial (6/8) and touch the
Checkpoint Marker. Retrace your steps back to the cookie bridges, and
from the angle will approach them from, go onto the left bridge. Run over
the bridge, touch the Checkpoint Marker, kill any enemies you find, and
collect their winged hearts. Jump onto the lowest cookie platform near
Checkpoint Marker. Jump up the cookie platforms to a moving cookie
platform, and jump from there to the Blue Vial (7/8).

Look around until you can see another Blue Vial. Run to the cookie
platforms below it. Jump onto the lowest cookie platform, and jump up 
the cookie platforms to a moving cookie platform, and jump from there 
to the final Blue Vial. Follow the arrow to the teleporter in this room,
and enter it to finish the level.

----------------------------------------------
6.4	Cookie Caves
----------------------------------------------

Start off the level by killing the Cupcake to your front-left with 
shuriken and collect its winged heart. Next, approach the Mine by the
cookie bridge and run away, detonating it. Cross the cookie bridge and
kill the nearby Bee with shuriken. Run along the cookie path until you
can see a Slice of Cake. Kill it and the nearby Bee, and collect the
winged heart of the Slice of Cake.

Continue to run along the cookie path until you reach a Cupcake. Kill it
and collect its winged heart. Continue to run along the cookie path until
you reach a ledge. Jump onto the nearby frosted platform, and look around
in shuriken mode until you can see a Bee in the distance. Kill the Bee in
the distance, and jump onto another nearby frosted platform and then onto
a ledge. From there, move the camera around until you can see a Blue Vial. 
Using frosted platforms nearby, approach it, kill the Strawberry Shortcake 
nearby and collect its winged heart, and collect the Blue Vial (1/8).

Run into the cave entrance you are in front of, and touch the Checkpoint
Marker. Run through the cave until you reach a Bee, Cupcake, and Slice of
Cake which are close together. Kill them all, and collect the winged
hearts of the Cupcake and Slice of Cake. Continue to run through the cave
until you reach an opening. Kill the two Strawberry Shortcakes, and the
single Bee, Cupcake, and Slice of Cake you can see with shuriken (if a
Cupcake approaches you, kill it too). Jump to the Blue Vial you can see
on a cookie platform and collect it (2/8). 

Jump along the cookie platforms until you reach the last one. Jump onto
the ground nearby and kill the Strawberry Shortcake and Cupcake nearby
and collect their winged hearts. Run across the frosted bridge nearby
and kill the enemies nearby (don't go on any bridges) and collect their 
winged hearts. Go back to the frosted bridge you used to get here. Turn
the camera around until you can see a Slice of Cake. Kill it and go on
the ledge it was on.

Jump across the nearby wafer platforms until you reach the second to 
last wafer platform. Kill the nearby Bee. Jump onto the last wafer
platform. Jump to close to the Mine, and quickly jump back, detonating
the Mine. Jump back to where the Mine was, and from here jump to the
Blue Vial and collect it (3/8). Retrace you steps back to the ledge where
the Slice of Cake was located.

Follow the arrow to a hill. Run up the path until you reach a Mine.
Activate the Mine without getting hurt, and continue to run up the hill.
Stop when you see a Slice of Cake. Kill the Slice of Cake and other
enemies to the right, and collect their winged hearts. Collect the Blue
Vial from the area the enemies were (4/8). Run to the nearby Checkpoint
Marker and touch it. 

Run through the cave entrance, and run through the cave until you reach 
a Strawberry Shortcake. Kill it and collect its winged heart. Use the
cookie platforms in here to reach the teleporter. From the teleporter,
use cookie platforms to reach a visible Blue Vial on a frosted platform
(use shuriken mode and move the camera to find it) and collect it (5/8).
From there, use the cookie platforms to reach the teleporter again.

Move the camera around in shuriken mode to find a Slice of Cake. Kill it
from a distance with shuriken. Use the cookie platforms to reach the
cave entrance where it was located. Run through the cave until you
reach a Checkpoint Marker. Touch the Checkpoint Marker. Fall off the
ledge you are on and onto some ground. Jump onto the nearby wafer
platform, and jump up the other wafer platforms to reach a giant frosted
ledge. Kill the Bee here.

Jump down another set of wafer platforms. Kill the Bee as soon as
possible, and collect the Blue Vial from the ledge the Bee was near
(6/8). Fall off of the ledge you are currently on, landing on some
solid ground. Using shuriken mode, adjust the camera until you can see a
cookie platform within reach. Jump onto the cookie platform. From there,
jump onto the ledge with the Strawberry Shortcake on it, and kill the
Strawberry Shortcake and collect its winged heart.

Run along the ledge, following the arrow, until you can see a Bee. Kill
it. Go to the area where the Bee was, and using shuriken mode find a
tiny cave with a Blue Vial inside. Collect the Blue Vial (7/8). From
here, backtrack all the way back to the teleporter. Using the cookie
platforms, jump into the cave closest to the direction the arrow is
pointing in. Touch the Checkpoint Marker when you reach it.

Continue jumping along the cookie platforms until you can see a ledge
with a Cupcake on it. Kill the Cupcake. Using shuriken mode, move the
camera until you can see a Blue Vial. Use the cookie platforms to
reach the Blue Vial, but first kill the nearby Strawberry Shortcake
and collect its winged heart. After the Strawberry Shortcake is dead,
collect the final Blue Vial. Backtrack to the teleporter and enter it to
complete the game.

==============================================
7.	Extra Modes
==============================================

This section covers the Extra Modes of each level.  You can unlock
the Extra Modes for each level by beating a level normally (NOT including
the training Dough-Jo) Here is a basic breakdown of each mode:

Time Attack: To complete Time Attack Mode, simply follow my
main walkthrough for each level, but defeat only Slices of Cake and Bees.
The area that shows how many Blue Vials you collected also shows how many
seconds of time you have left in a level.

Score Pickups: To beat Score Pickups, collect the set amount of pickups,
which you can see in the area that shows how many Blue Vials you've
collected. You must collect all eight Blue Vials as normal, but the
teleporter won't appear until you've collected the set amount of pickups.
There are three difficulty levels in this mode. The harder the 
difficulty, the more pickups must be collected. For those interested, the
pickups are chocolate bars, tiny wrapped candies, candy canes, and...
egg rolls? (I can't tell what they are supposed to be)

Hidden Pickups: To beat Hidden Pickups, collect the 20 candy canes hidden
in the level and enter the teleporter (Blue Vials don't appear in this
mode).

I haven't included specific item placement for Score Pickups and Hidden 
Pickups (I couldn't possibly describe them). Hidden Pickups will not be
covered here, as it presents the same scenario every level (collect 20
hidden candy canes).
