Boogerman

Cast of Characters

Who they are, what they do, how to beat them!


So, you wanna sling snot, eh? Well, you better prepare yourself against the best. This ain't going to be no cruise through the park. Boogerman is going to have to fart, burp, loogie, butt whomp and flick boogers at a cast of baddies if he expects to defeat the mighty nasty big bad booger boss of them all: Boogermeister!

Here's a quick rundown of ALL the characters in Boogerman, with some tips on how to beat them. No secrets held back!
Disclaimer: These tips work for ME. I use them, and I have good results with them. Tons of variables outside my control will result in slightly different results. These are guidelines and NOT definative information. Use whatever works best for you.


Normal Baddies!

Nose Goblin/Spear Goblin
One and the same. Sometimes he doesn't have his spear with him. Simple to kill. Takes one hit. If you're running low on snot or gas, go ahead and butt whomp him IF he is not jabbing his spear up in the air. Generally not challenging.

Flying Goblin
This guy can be a pain in the butt, often flying above easy booger flinging range. Your best bet is to use the loogie via the milk power-up. Still, one hit and he's gone, or at least that one is. If you're up in the trees, be extra careful and remember to duck a lot. You'll be doing a lot of jumping and flicking to nail these dudes!

Stalactite Goblin
This isn't one I'd worry too much about. They only appear in nasal caverns, and there's not too many of them in there anyways. What usually happens is you'll hear them tapping away against the stalactite, and right before they fall to their death, they say "Uh oh". You better hope you're not in the way. Then, jump on it or flick a booger on it or butt whomp it for easy points. Once it falls, it's pretty much harmless unless you step on it.

Ram Goblin
Single-minded and narrow in purpose, these guys live in the Mucus Mountains. Their only goal is to knock you off their mountain. They wind up before they charge, giving you plenting of time to flick a booger or butt whomp it. One hit will kill these. If you panic, you can always jump over them.

Rock Goblin
Be careful!! I've taken many hits despite being very careful. They usually live on platforms in the Mucus Mountains and tend to be hard to get at due to their position on those darn platforms. I'll tell you this, the loogie makes them much easier to nail these guys. Otherwise, run fast past them, they won't throw in the other direction, although sometimes there may be a few somewhat close together. Sometimes you can hear the rocks crashing to the ground before you see them. Regardless, one hit and you've kill it.

Miner Goblin
Miner Gobins are a minor threat. Since they wear a helmet, the butt whomp is not valid, not to say don't try it anyways. They often swing their picks, so don't let them get too close. One hit will nail them.

Window Goblin
A nasty resident of Boogerville, they are above you. Despite the picture, they don't throw boogers, they throw rocks. Well, they might throw boogers, it's been a while since I've been there. Still, the loogie helps, but they can be had with a well timed jump with a booger flick.

Sewer Goblin
You'll see most of these IN the sewers. Flush yourself down a toilet and watch out. They aren't particularly nasty, but they'll release a bouncing booger your way. You can always spot them by the manhole cover, or should I say goblinhole cover. I tend to like to jump on them right as the goblin starts to pop up before they can release a bouncing booger, otherwise you have to deal with a bouncing booger too. You can always tell when you killed these sewer goblins because if they hole cover scrolls off the screen and then you head back, the hole cover will be gone.

Pogo Goblin
You'll see a lot of these in both the Pits and the mysterious Pus Caverns. Look carefully: there are TWO goblins, one is using the other as a "pogo stick". It will take TWO hits to kill a pogo goblin. This means either two butt whomps, which can be easily done, two booger flicks, or ONE loogie. Loogies seem to be as good as two boogers. Either that, or wind up a Super Burp or Super Fart if you have the space and time.

Bouncing Booger
This is probably one of the more annoying of Boogermeister's baddies. While it only takes one shot to kill, since they bounce they are a hard target to flick a booger at, but not impossible. My suggestions: burping and farting at close range, or ducking and hocking loogies. You don't need a super burp or fart, just push "C" and let one fly. Save your mucus for other nasties. Warning: sometimes they travel in two's or even threes. I strongly suggest Super Burps and Super Farts and nail them all while on the screen. A well timed loogie while ducking can kill up to two bouncing boogers at once.

Frrt Ghost
Come on, it's a Fart Ghost. We know it, Interplay knows it, we know Interplay knows it, Interplay knows that we know that they know it. Takes one hit to kill, but they almost ALWAYS require a jump and a flick to hit, or a jump and a loogie. Be alert, as they will appear out of knotholes in the trees in the 4th level of the Flatulent Swamps. I think they appear in other places too. DO NOT jump on these, and don't bother with farts or burping, although should you be in the right place in the right time, burps and farts would work. I would suggest ducking a lot and otherwise staying out of their way at first, and shoot them down if you have some room to work. You can't nail them while they are coming out of the hole, so wait and be patient. Of course, once you nail the ghost who comes out of the hole, that hole is no longer a threat.

Pus Creature
POP goes the pimple! These guys are nasty, but easy to kill. One shot will do it, but don't butt whomp or you'll take damage! If you get to close, they go ballistic and you'll watch the pressure build until they pop, leaving a yellow pus fallout of roughly one step all around them, so make sure you give them a little space. Also, if you're going to flick a booger or hock a loogie, keep some distance because they will pop and the pus will fly.

Toilet Goblin
I think there are less than 3 of these in the entire game, but they are VERY annoying locations. As the name suggests, they pop out of toilets, and they SPIT! One shot will do it, and they work on a "timer". You shouldn't have too many problems killing most of these. One of them lives INSIDE the sewers and you've got to climp up mucus strands to get to the toilet to flush you back to the normal world. I suggest attacking this one from the left, despite the fact that you'll never land on the platform from that side. Climb to the top, jump to the right, flick a booger and you might get lucky and nail him. You'll need to go up on the right to get out on the one I'm thinking of.

Scab Creature
These guys don't do much other than run around. Don't be surprised if you nail all the ones you can see, move a bit and another one shows up, that's normal. One shot will do it. I suggest boogers or loogies on them, don't waste your gas.


Beefed-Up Baddies!

The following characters need THREE hits to kill. This can be two loogies(equivalent of 4 boogers), three flicked boogers, three butt whomps, or a Super Burp or Super Fart. Bouncing Butt Whomps work great. Land on the meanie and don't move the joypad.
Abdominable Sewer Man
I'm not sure what's up with this guy. He lives in the sewer, and his yell will hurt you. Perhaps it's bad breath. Keep your distance, I prefer loogies and boogers since I never seem to have the time to get a super burp or fart charged up, although your timing may vary.

Troll
I don't know what he'll do if he catches you, but he WILL eat power-ups with an audible "yum", so that should be enough incentive for you to kill this guy, because if he eats them, you can't get them.

Ogre
I think that's a goblin in a state of rigor-mortis, and he's pretty handy with it. Don't get to close or he'll knock you in the head with it.


The Bosses!

All of the bosses require 15 hits to kill. You're going to need to pay attention, as they all use patterns to a certain degree, but they won't stick rigidly to them. Don't even worry about farting or burping. Also, I've never carried loogies to battle a boss, I've always lost it before I reached the end of the previous area. Just use your boogers, you'll have plenty. Besides, there are codes elsewhere on here, or the game will give them to you. Practice!

Last words of wisdom: you always start on the left. Relax, be patient, stay calm, don't panic!

All boss screens are symetrical, so what's on the left will be duplicated on the right. Repetition of the tips below allow me to polish off the bosses rather quickly.


HickBoy
Did somebody say hick? Yup, this dude is about as hick as they get. Here's the scenario, a guy in overalls with a chicken. Ain't that a picture?
OK, so you have a tree on each side. Jump up into the tree and WAIT for Hickboy to throw his "chickenerang". Wait for the chicken to start to return and jump UP and slightly back. Face Hickboy and flick some snot. Depending on your timing, you can prevent Hickboy for squeezing the chicken(Egg Launcher) and popping eggs at you, otherwise, you can stop the 3-egg assault. One egg will go low, one high and one you'll need to jump over if you're in the tree. The order of these eggs is random. After this, Hickboy will charge towards you with his Chicken Club. Wait until he gets to the center and then JUMP UP and to the opposite side, get up on the branch on the opposite side and start all over. I sometimes get time to flick off a booger before he throws the chicken when I'm on the right side. Remember, you cannot harm him when he doesn't have the chicken.

Revolta
Don't look directly at her without the special safety lenses! She's got the hots for Boogerman, but Boogerman doesn't share her affections. Her veil doesn't lift, due to obscenity laws I'm sure.
Jump UP on that green thing. Revolta is going to do one of two things: she's either going to cough and launch a Ligthning Breath Attach, or a P.U.(Plain Ugly). The lightning attach will be UNDER you, so don't worry, but the P.U. will have to be dealt with. Experience will tell you where to be so you can duck UNDER it, or jump OVER it. The P.U. travels in a loose but predictable sine-wave style pattern. Flick a booger and she'll vault across the screen via her Ugly Sticks. Wait until she reaches the center and JUMP towards the opposite site, jump onto that platform and start again. At a certain point, she will vault back and forth without launching any other kind of attack, so pay attention and get to those platforms quickly so you can jump to the other side. She'll do that, then start her previous stuff all over again.

FlyBoy
By far the easiest of all the bosses. He's got a Vomit Bomb, a Fart Duster and Maggot Missles. He's the first of the bosses who can launch another "living" character at you.
Flyboy's screen is different than ALL the other bosses. The main feature is a trampoline in the middle of the screen. Jump onto the trampoline and then jump and hold UP and TOWARDS Flyboy. If you did it right, you'll hit Flyboy in the wings and you should hit the ground behind him. He'll then buzz over to the other side. Repeat this a TON. That's it. Just aim for the far side of the screen and you'll be set. Since the Maggot Missles crawl along the ground, a simple booger flick should kill it. Since you'll be using the trampoline, you shouldn't have to worry about this nasty little nuisance.

Deodor Ant
You'd think he'd be the boss from "The Pits", but I'm sure most of you won't get that little joke. With his Ant-ihistamine spray, his Ant-Acid and his Ant-tenae combined with his ability to burrow, Deodor Ant is a difficult boss to kill.
There are rock ledges on both the left and right side. As usual, get ON the ledge. Deodorant tends to open up with some Ant-ihistamine. Flick a booger and he starts throwing things, which I assume are Ant-tenae. One low, one high, one medium, the order varies. You'll find the "sweet" spot like you did with Hick Boy to avoid these. Flick a booger and hit Deodor Ant while he's tossing crap at you and he's stop and burrow into the ground. STOP!! Quick, hold JUMP across and RUN and go under the opposite rock ledge and wait for the 6 boulders to drop. Sometimes power-ups will fall down, so get them if you can. After the 6th boulder falls, UP on the rock ledge. Start over.
After Deodor Ant has appeared two times on the right, and then two times on the left, he will be on the right and burrow down and re-appear on the right, then he will repeat on the left side. Then back to normal to repeat this pattern.
DO NOT let his misty Ant-ihistmine spray nail you, it will zero your booger supply! Not good, plus you take damage! With this boss, you may get lucky and have time to charge up a super burp or super fart. Sometimes the chili pepper power-up will appear, so try and get it. Extra capes and boogers and gas might show up too. Definately get those capes as I always seem to need them.

Booger Meister
This is what it all comes down to, Booger Meister vs. Boogerman. Good Snot vs. Evil Snot. It's doesn't get more sophmoric than this. Booger Meister is no slacker and he won't show mercy. He'll sneeze out some bouncing boogers, let out expanding burps and farts, and is generally in poor taste.
There are platforms on each side. Try to stay on those. If Boogermeister farts, you'll want to be towards the back and jump UP and slightly back, as the farts tend to dissapate. If he burps, just jump, you'll be OK. I tend to jump UP and flick a booger at Booger Meister and then he butt bounces to the other side. Watch for bouncing boogers. Sometimes you can jump on them as you try to jump UP and ACROSS, otherwise, beware. I tend to wait until Booger Meister is almost to me and then jump OVER him, as he doesn't move super-quick from one side to the other. DO NOT touch him. Unlike Revolta where it looks like you can pass through her while she's moving on her Ugly Sticks, Booger Meister is not to be touched. Hit him 15 times and the game will take over. You'll do a Super Burp and he'll land in a toilet. Booger Meister says, "I'll be back!" and then is flushed away. Could there be a sequel?
