Introduction :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Hello, my name is DeepFriedBurger and this is the complete guide to a little GBC game called Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown. While this game is certainly not very good, you may own it and be trying to beat it and that's a good thing because, in the end, it's just a game and it could be way worse. B. What is Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown? :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Glad you asked. Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown is a fighting game released for Game Boy Color by TDK Mediactive in 2001. There's not much else to say. C. Notes :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: #1: When i purchased the game, it was second-hand and did not come with an instruction booklet. Because of this, info on the move list and the unlockable power ups is taken from the other guide avalable for this game (See credits). D.

You may not use this guide on your own website, and it should not appear anywhere except for on GameFAQs and Neoseeker. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: SECTION B: How to play :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: A. How gameplay works :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Being a fighting, game Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown follows two rules: Beat the opponent to death and don't get killed! Other that that, there's not a lot else to the game. Moving on! B. Characters :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: All of these characters are playable (although three of them must be unlocked) and fight each other once in the game: * Shrek (surprise surprise) * Big Bad Wolf * Pinocchio * Ginger Bread Man * Monsieur Hood * Princess Fiona * Dragon * Thelonius * Lord Farquaad If you are thinking "Where's Donkey?!", then the answer is that he is not a playable character. His head appears in certain menus and screens but that's it. NOTE: If you end up fighting yourself, an arrow will appear above you. C.

OPPONENT'S HEALTH: How much health your opponent has remaining. If they lose all of it then you win the battle and can continue to the next. F. Language Select :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: After booting up the game you'll see a few logos, then this. Use the D-PAD to highlight and the A/B buttons to select the perferred language. Presumably, you'll want English or American. The game will continue to the title screen, G. Title Screen :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Press the START button to go to the main menu. H. Main Menu :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Use the D-PAD to highlight and the A/B buttons to select an option. H.A. Start Game ::--::--::--::--::--:: Begin the game. You'll be taken to the character select and then the game will begin. See section 3 for a walkthrough. H.B. Password ::--::--::--::--::--:: Enter a password.

You can press B to exit any of these screens. See section E for passwords. You will recieve a password after each battle. H.C. Practice ::--::--::--::--::--:: You'll be taken to the character select screen and can then battle various stages from the normal mode at random, except the opponent will not attack. His health also regenerates if left for a few seconds without you attacking. H.D. Options ::--::--::--::--::--:: Despite what it the menu is titled, there is only one options. It allows you to select the game difficulty by pressing the D-PAD LEFT/ RIGHT. The avalable choises are EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD. These only effect how much damage is taken for certain attacks.

Use the D-PAD LEFT/RIGHT to highlight a character, A/B to select, or SELECT to go back to the main menu. Three of these characters cannot be selected and are displayed as a ? until you unlock them - because they're unlockables. J.

A. The Forest :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- BIG BAD WOLF This one is simple. The wolf usually waits for you to attack him, and occasionally jumps over the gap to death. If he does this, you'll have to jump over too in order to attack him and/or for him to move elsewhere. B. The Village :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- PINNOCHIO Again, quite simple. Pnnochio may jump onto the ledge to the right. If so, then just jump up too in order to attack him and/or to get him to move. C. The Dungeon :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- GINGER BREAD MAN In my opinion, this is the hardest battle in the game. The GBM keeps jumping around and when he's standing still he fires a gumdrop at you which is hard to see. It may take some time, but when he's on the ground, try and jump kick into him. Same applies for when he's in the air. Good luck! NEW FIGHTER UNLOCKED: GINGER BREAD MAN POWER UP UNLOCKED: INVINCIBILITY D. The Swamp :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- SHREK A reasonably easy battle against Shrek. Just button mash and you should win. POWER UP UNLOCKED: SPEED E. Dark Forest :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- MONSIEUR HOOD This one can be hard. Hood begins on the other side of a death gap and can fire an arrow at you. Jump over to attack him and/or get him to move, then hop for the best. F. Bridge :-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- DRAGON Easy. Just follow and button mash the Dragon while avoiding the death gaps. NEW FIGHTER UNLOCKED: THE DRAGON POWER UP UNLOCKED: OGRE STRENGTH G. Castle :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- PRINCESS FIONA Quite hard. Try and hit her as often as possible, but watch out for the death gaps. H. Wrestling Ring :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- THELONIUS Button mash into him so that he can't react in a serious way. You can access outside and stand on the ropes of the ring. I. Mirror Room :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: YOU -VS- LORD FARQUAAD The not-so-grand-finale! This is so easy that it makes The Forest look hard. Just button mash. Farquaad will occasionally attack but these attacks do little to no damage. THE END. NEW FIGHTER UNLOCKED: LORD FARQUAAD :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: SECTION D: Unlockables Guide :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: This is a guide to all of the unlockables in the game.

A. My review of the game ::--::--::--::--::--::--::--::--:: Note that these are based out of a total score of 5. GRAPHICS= 3 They look alright. Other games have done better, but there's nothing bad about them. MUSIC= 2 Some of it's bad, although I do quite like the theme for the "The Village" area. GAMEPLAY= 3 Just like any other fighting game really, as well as any other fighting game on the GBC. LONGEVITY: 1 Cn be beaten in under 10 minutes with practice. OVERALL (Not based out of 5)= 9 (collectively) It's not as bad as people say it is, but still: WHAT IS THIS DOING IN MY SWAMP!? B. Outro ::--::--::--:: Well, that's everything about Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown for GBC. I hope you enjoyed my guide (my second so far). Again, short. C.
