Many thanks to Dave and Raymond for these codes:
OOPS -- sorry, this next section originally said:
At the start screen (the Toy Story screen that has the start and
options menu) hit <blah blah> THIS IS AN ERROR -- it should say:
Skip Level: CORRECTION HERE !!
At the start screen (the Toy Story screen that says "Press Start") hit
A B R A C A D A B R A quickly ... you should hear a laugh when it
works. Note: "R" is the right directional pad, and "D" is the down
directional pad, A, B, C are the buttons (obviously). Just press
start to pause at the level you want to skip, and then A.
Invincibility:
Collect seven stars (only) at the second stage (putting away toys)
then jump in the toy box and duck down for 5 or 6 seconds. The star
on the upper left of the screen will start twirling and you will have
infinite lives -- even the shark can't kill you! Now, this is REALLY
what I call cheating, but it does get you through the game.
So, now that we have skipped our way through, we know where we need
more hints. We CAN do all of Level One (even without cheating), only
the Revenge of the Toys and Run Rex Run parts of Level Two, the Food
and Drink part of Level Three, Sid's Workbench in Level Three, and
only Rocket Man in Level Four. Don't be too impressed, the only
reason we can do ANY of the games after Level One is because of
Woody's invincibility. It takes about 10 tries to complete the final
stage (Rocket Man) but, as I said, it's fun anyway.
So, if anyone has any hints for the rest, please let us know. We have
not successfully steered the RC car yet, but I think this is just a
matter of LOTS of practice, so we have to stop skipping these levels.
Oh, any hints for the Claw stages would be especially appreciated.
Thanks!
