Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon - Walkthrough (On-Going)

In this Guide, I will walk you through on Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon (Windows, MS-DOS & even the Panasonic 3DO Versions).

1. Story - Prepare for Blastoff!

1-3. What's a Panasonic 3DO?

The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (often called simply the 3DO) is a video game console platform developed by The 3DO Company. Conceived by entrepreneur and Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, the 3DO was not a console manufactured by the company itself, but a series of specifications, originally designed by Dave Needle and R. J. Mical of New Technology Group, that could be licensed by third-parties. Panasonic produced the first models in 1993, and further renditions of the hardware were released in 1994 by Sanyo and GoldStar (now LG Corp).

Despite a highly promoted launch (including being named Time magazine's "1994 Product of the Year") and a host of cutting-edge technologies, the 3DO's high price (US $699 at launch) and an over-saturated console market prevented the system from achieving success comparable to veteran competitors Sega and Nintendo.

Since its discontinuation in late 1996, the 3DO has been frequently derided by video game historians.

1-3. Dashboard Interface

Putt-Putt's dashboard has maintained a similar look throughout the course of the series. The original style, seen in Putt-Putt Joins the Parade and Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, features a Gas Gauge, Speedometer, Steering Wheel with Horn, Radio and a Glove Compartment.

In Putt-Putt Joins the Parade, Putt-Putt's Gas Gauge would drain as time progressed. He had the option of refilling it at the Cartown Gas Station. The Speedometer is labeled in increments of 5mph from five to 35mph, 35mph being Putt-Putt's Top Speed. The Steering Wheel is red and seemingly floats in front of the Dashboard. In its center rests a Yellow Smiley Face which acts as Putt-Putt's Horn. When used, the horn makes a Goofy Face while the Horn blares. The Radio features a Older Style Tuner and is always tuned to the Same Station. The Glove Compartment is where Putt-Putt keeps the items he finds on his adventures. It is divided into Two Sections by a single shelf that rests in the middle. During times when Putt-Putt is asked a YES or NO Question, the shelf rotates forward to reveal the YES or NO options.

NOTE: Starting with Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon and onward, you have Unlimited Fuel.

2. Minigames

Color Changing:
Color Changing is a feature in the Putt-Putt series in which you can change Putt-Putt's Color. Almost all games contain a Color Changing feature, except for Pep's Birthday Surprise and Pep's Dog on a Stick. See Section 4-4 for Color Changing on Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon.

Alien Tag:
The game is done by quickly clicking on every alien that appears out of a crater. To Earn a glowing moon crystal, you'll need to catch 3 Aliens per Round. Each game of Alien Tag consists of 5 Rounds each.

Bear Stormin:
It's similar to the game "Circus Stormin" from "Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack", except that instead of Putt-Putt donning a propeller and instead of the theme being a circus, it depicts a bear flying a propeller plane and a farm.

Observatory Telescope:
You can check out the Star Constellations in our Solar System here.

Wall Chime Simon:
In this Simon Clone, there are 5 colored Wall Chime Panels; Yellow, Green, Orange, Blue, Red, each producing a particular tone when it is pressed or activated by the Wall Chime Panels. A round in this consists of the Wall Chime Panels lighting up one or more Wall Chime Panels in a random order, after which the player must reproduce that order by clicking on the Wall Chime Panels. As the game progresses, the number of Wall Chime Panels to be clicked on increases.
