While You Play
Saving Your Progress
So you’re having the time of your life on this exciting, heart-thumping
adventure. But what if you lost all your progress because you didn’t know
how to save? That would be a disaster! To make sure this doesn’t happen,
here are two different ways to save your progress in the game.
In this column, I (Apollo) will answer your questions about Sneakers.
So whether your question is about some minor detail or an all-important
element, just step right up and ask away.
When your HP drops in battle, what happens after the fi ghting is over?
A very good question. You’ll be happy to know that once the battle is over, your
HP automatically returns to its maximum strength. That means the next time
you go into battle, you’ll always be starting at full strength again. Now that you
know this, you should be able to go all out in every battle.
More enemy rats showed up right in the middle of a battle!
What’s going on?
That’s right. Sometimes, if you’re taking it too easy in battle, the enemy rats will
whistle for reinforcements. So be prepared!
Each time I beat an enemy rat, some items appear on screen.
Is there a pattern to what shows up?
My friends and I consider ourselves all equal so this may be hard to believe but
the enemy rats are organized like the typical army into higher and lower ranks.
The higher the rank of the rat you’ve defeated, the more valuable the items that
appear for you to retrieve.
I keep losing all my friends right away. What am I doing wrong?
Well, maybe you aren’t making the best use of food. If you use Command
Mode, you can have your friends with low HPs pick up the food and candy that
appears. It’s really important to look out for your friends. Of course, you can keep
on playing even after you’ve lost all your friends, but I don’t really recommend it.
I mean, after all, they’re your friends!
When I’m in Search Phase using Check Mode, is there any way for me
to fl ush out or check enemy scouts that are hidden behind pillars or
other objects?
Ah, yes. It can be frustrating when you can see just enough to know that an
enemy is there, but you can’t seem to fl ush them out
(can’t get the cursor to tell you “Check!”). Well, the short
answer to your question is “No.” In order to fl ush rats like
that out, you have to be able to really get them in your
sight cursor. Just move to a position where you can do
that, and you shouldn’t have any trouble.
Apollo Answers Your
Questions
In the Middle of a Stage
If you want to take a break in the middle of a stage, press the Start button.
Then, on the Pause menu, select Quit Game and press the A button.
Sneakers will save your progress. You can continue the game where
you left off by selecting Continue on the Main menu and pressing the
A button. Remember, if you choose to load a saved game from the Load
Game Menu or choose to start a New Game you’ll lose your mid-stage save
and will have to restart that level!
After Clearing a Stage
When you clear a stage, the game automatically takes you to the Save
screen. On this screen, you can save up to eight different games. The
screen even shows you how many friends you still have left. If you don’t
have many friends left, you know you’re going to have a hard time ahead,
so you might want to reconsider saving a game like that.
