guard will let you through and you will not have to pay.

However, do not count on this to save you, as the bar will suddenly jerk to
one side.

through the wall opposite the entrance to the game room. There will be a rock
that you can lift for Scarabs.
In the Thorntail store, go to where you normally play the Scarb grabbing mini-game.
Go out of that room and you will see a wall with all sorts of designs. Run directly
into the wall. There are a lot of surprises where the floating sales was, including

After you place the Spell Stone obtained from the first Boss, leave the
temple. When you are leaving, you wukk hear a voice of a person who needs help.
A Krazoa Spirit appears and tells you that you have to help her by defeating
the monster that appears. The Krazoa Spirit opens a large round door. Go through
it and get the Earthquake upgrade for the Staff. You must now defeat the monster.
First, use the Earthquake attack and the monster will spin in a circle once
or twice. While he is spinning, attack the purple scar on his back. Repeat this
one more time, then take the Moon Seed from him. Return to the temple. When
you get to the point where you had to put the Force Stone on the floor, the
gate slides to the side, giving you a way to the temple. Defeat the armored
Sharp Claw then walk to the left ledge. You will climb down a wall. Next, go
all the way over to the patch of dirt. Plant the Moon Seed and get Tricky to
use his Fire command. The plant will grow, leading you to a well. Give it 20
Scarabs and it will give you a Cheat Token.
Walled City: Second Tooth

trees to find switches to hit with the flame shooter. Hit all of them and a
ring will appear in the stream. Go through the ring to start a challenge race.
Complete it to get the second tooth.
Defeating Andross/Krazoa God
After a long intermission sequence, you will hop in your Arwing and fly
up to the Krazoa God and discover that it is Andross. This is the toughest Boss
in the entire game.
Phase 1: Shoot out the eyes and the star on
the forehead, but make sure to avoid the ring beam he shoots out. If it hits
you, it will do a lot of damage. However, it moves slowly, so you should be
okay. After you shoot out the flashing blue areas, he will flip over and reveal
himself. You need to hit the flashing diamonds on his hands while avoiding
his blows. After he strikes at you three times, he will spit out a flurry
of asteroids. If you have been hit, try to fly through the two silver rings
among the asteroids. Keep blasting in the center of the screen and you will
not get hit much, if at all. After that, he will try to inhale you. At this
point, bank hard to the right and keep pressing R button to barrel roll repeatedly.
This will continue until he swallows you or you destroy his hands. If he swallows
you, you will be back at the beginning and have to start all over again.
Phase 2:When you have destroyed both
his hands, he will flip over and you will face the Krazoa God again. However,
this time he will spit ships at you after the ring beam. Try to avoid them and
shoot them down only if you can. You need to reserve as much of your life as
possible. Shoot out the eyes and the diamond on the forehead again and he will
flip back to Andross.
Phase 3: This is the same as the Andross
in Phase 1, except after he strikes at you three times, he will shoot ring beams
from his palms. Shoot out his hands again and he will try inhaling you again.
You cannot escape it this time. However, just before you get inhaled, Falco
Lombardi will appear. After a bombing and a remark, the battle resumes. He will
start launching ships and ring beams at you. You need to avoid these and conserve
your life. When he spits out the asteroids, grab the silver ring. There is only
one at this point. Even if you miss the ring, make sure you get the S Box Falco
drops for a bomb. When Andross tries to inhale you again, fire the Nova Bomb
directly into his mouth. If you missed the shot, pull hard to the right as before.
If you hit him, Andross will turn transparent and you will be able to see his
brain. Pump as much plasma into him as you can with your blasters, but be careful.
He will charge you three times. Just keep repeating this until you destroy him.
Note: His life status is displayed on the bottom of the screen when he turns
transparent.
When you regain control of the Arwing, aim for
the Krazoa's eyes and the jewel on the forehead. When Andross turns around to
attack himself, aim for the hands. After his attacks, he will spit out meteors.
Just fire and collect the health rings. When he begins to inhale you, quickly
press L or R to make the Arwing spin. If Andross does not chew you up, continue
shooting his hands until they are both destroyed. Andross will turn to his Krazoa
face. Dodge the beams and aim for the eyes and forehead jewel. Watch out for
those kamikaze planes. After completing this, repeatedly attack Andross and
his hands should be gone. After a while, he will inhale you. Use L or R until
the Arwing flies a straight path into his mouth. Falco will appear and help
you. When Andross tries to inhale you, Falco will drop some bomb power-ups.
Collect them. After the meteors and the kamikaze planes, he will inhale you.
Aim for the tongue. Once you fire and hit the tongue, his brain will be exposed.
Fire on that and repeat this process to defeat him.
Defeating Galdon
Use Tricky's flame command (when you are able to) and attack the part of
him that is highlighted. He will inhale you in him. Attack the dangling part.
He will spit you out and then inhale through his neck. While he is doing so,
shoot a fireball in his neck. He will inhale you again. Attack the dangling
part and you will get the Spellstone
Defeating Red Eyes Boss
To defeat the Red Eyes Boss and get the Third Spell Stone, you need to catch
him in the electrical fields created by standing on the glowing buttons. To
make this easy, look for the cages that contain the explosive barrels. Thenm
use your Fire Blast to hit the buttons above the cage. Pick up a barrel and
wait for him to go to that hallway. Wait until he is almost finished roaring,
then step on the button. When he falls down, hit him with the barrel. Each time
you do this, the space between the buttons will decrease. Be careful and time
it well. He also will double back sometimes and come at you from the other side.
If you need to avoid him, run into the open areas in the center block. He cannot
hit you there.

Use the following trick to get the explosive
to the Boss in time. First, get in a hiding hole and let him pace you. When
he does, get behind him and follow him until you reach an electrical pad. Then,
after he is on the other side of the arena, shoot the panel to open the cage
with the explosive in it but do not leave it there. Pick it up and take it with
you. Next, when you have the explosive and the Red Eye has seen you, wait about
one second when he starts to roar (when the lines appear from his mouth), then
step on the electrical panel. When he is shocked you will have more than enough
time to run over to throw the explosive. Note: Throw the bomb at his ear when
he turns his head. Repeat the process three more times to get the Spell Stone
and start the intermission sequence.
Attack Combos
Hold Down + A and when your staff starts to light up, hold A to get a strong
attack combo.
To do combos in a fight, press Analog-stick Up, Analog-stick Down, Analog-stick
Left, or Analog-stick Right while attacking.
Avoid Damage From Short Falls
Press X just before you hit the ground to roll and avoid damage.
Krazoa Test Number 5 (The Test Of Knowledge)
When doing this test, you have to match up items you found in the game and
where you found them.
Put the Totem piece in front of the Lightfoot
Village.
Put the Dinosaur horn in front of the Snowhorn Wastes.
Put the Cloudrunner horn in front of the Cloudrunner Fortress.
Put the Meteor in front of the space image.
Put the Moonseed in front of Moon Mountain Pass.
Put the Gold tooth in front of the Walled City.
Tricky Spits Fire
When you have Tricky and he has learned
the fire ability, repeatedly hit him. He will get mad and blow fire at you.
Tricky On Fire
If you go near a fire with Tricky, he will catch on fire.
Alternate Tricky colors:
At the store in the Thorntail Hollow, buy a rubber ball and play fetch with
Tricky. If you play with him for awhile (usually a day and half), he will change
colors, and will keep changing colors if you keep playing with him.
Sleeping Tricky
Allow the game to idle and Tricky will eventually fall asleep.
Introduction Sequence
Allow the game to idle at the title
screen until the introduction sequence begins. During the sequence, note that
Fox has only 3 life points the entire time and has only a small staff magic
meter. No matter what area he is in the game, he still has the minimum of life
points and magic points. It is impossible to do this during the actual game.
Krystal's Staff In Ending Sequence
At the end of the game when you are back on the main ship, the intermission
sequence shows Fox with Krystal's Staff on his back, even though he left it
with Krystal back on Dinosaur Planet.
Floating Grubtub
Freeze a Grubtub while it is in the air. It will not fall, but will instead
float.
