Introduction [INTRO] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ []============================================================================[] | 02A. Ribbit King [RIBBK] | []============================================================================[] Ribbit King is a strange game, produced by Bandai. It's one of those rare, but sweet games, that come out in America before other places, and not in Japan at all. It's like a freshing payback, for the great games Japan never sent us. Anyway, before I lose track of myself, this game is like a game in a game. You see, it's technically a sport game. However, the sport is Frolf, and I'm sure you won't see that at any nearby stadiums. Let's talk a little more about Frolf. []============================================================================[] | 02B. Frolf [FROLF] | []============================================================================[] Frolf is kind of like mini-golf, but with many strange features. First of all, you will be hitting frogs around with hammers - Which is obviously how you get the name "Frolf". But that's not even close to being the only difference. Some of the new features include the scoring system. Unlike golf, the idea is not to get it to the hole as fast as possible, but to collect as many points along the way. The frogs will interact with water, bugs, and spring pads, among other many things, and this all servers to make an interesting experience. For example, unlike golf, where water hazards cost you strokes, in Frolf, the frog will swim across giving you *more* points. This FAQ will show you the ins-and- outs of Frolf, so I believe this is enough of an introduction. __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 03.

Game Modes [MODES] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ []============================================================================[] | 04A. Story Mode [SMODE] | []============================================================================[] In this mode, you'll be in a huge Frolf tournament, on a quest to win "Super Ribbinite" to save your planet (See the story section for more information on this.) You'll fly from planet to planet, in search of opponents to play Frolf with. When you beat everyone, you'll win the Frolf cup, becoming the Frolf Champion! This is the mode that you can unlock Characters and Frogs for use in the VS modes, with. []============================================================================[] | 04B. Multi-player Stroke Play [2PSTR] | []============================================================================[] In this mode, you and up to four players - Both human and computer - will select items, choose a planet, and play Frolf. You'll be playing four holes, and after all four are through, a random bonus will be given out. After this, a winner will be decided. []============================================================================[] | 04C. Multi-player Match Play [2PMAT] | []============================================================================[] In this mode, you and up to four players - Both human and computer - will select items, choose a planet, and play Frolf. You'll be playing four holes, jsut like in match play, but in this mode, the player with most points after each hole is the winner for that hole, and the player with most holes at the end, will be declared the winner of the game. __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 05. Gameplay Features [GPLAY] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ []============================================================================[] | 05A. The Goal [GOALS] | []============================================================================[] The goal of Frolf is not to make it into the hole as fast as you can, but to end the match with as many points as you can. Getting it into the hole fast will help you out a lot, but don't rush it. Go for the gimmick bubbles (more on that later) and other ways to get points first, such as water, and springs: More on them later, as well. Note: If you do not make it into the hole by eight turns, you will give up. This will cause you to lose out on alot of points, so try not to do it. []============================================================================[] | 05B. Aiming/Hitting [AIMNG] | []============================================================================[] Now obviously, you'll have to hit you're frogs, before they go anywhere. Before you do that though, press the X button. Here, you can access the Frog and Item menus. These will allow you to affect how your swing will work. For examples, some frogs allow you to swim safely in water, and some items will allow the frogs to go father than usuall. After you use any special frogs or items, you will be ready to hit the frogs! Aim the direction that you'll hit the frog in with the control stick, and change the height of the arc with the D-Pad. It's a good idea to zoom in, using the C-Stick, to get a more accurate view of where your frog will land. Remember to take into consideration though, that your frog will hop two or three times when it lands - Unless affected by other circumstances. Now, to actually hit the frog, press the A button. The meter at the bottom of the screen will begin to fill. Try to press A when it reaches the end. The closer to the end it is, the closer to your target, the frog will land. If you can get it perfectly on the line, you'll do a super swing. This means it will land perfectly where you aimed it. And that's about it for aiming! []============================================================================[] | 05C. Gimmick Bubbles [BUBBL] | []============================================================================[] There are lots of bubbles around the courses. These are called gimmick bubbles, and they are a key aspect in racking up points. There are two kinds of them. There are multiplier bubbles, and point bubbles. You can "activate" them by popping them. You can pop them by smacking your frog through them. The point bubbles are easy to understand. You hit them, and get the points marked on the bubble. The number can be 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, or in rare cases, 200. Multipliers on the otherhand are a bit trickier to understand. They will have 2x or 3x written on them. By popping them, any points you get from landing on targets will be multiplied. More on targets later, but it works like this. If you hit a 2x bubble, and land on a 70 point target, you will earn 140 points. []============================================================================[] | 05D. Springs [SPRNG] | []============================================================================[] There are springs in every level, though the appearence differs in each. In some levels, it's a spider web, in some it's an animal hide, and in some it's a red circle. However, despite its appearence, its use is always the same. You get points, and are flung forward. The points you get are determined by how many springs you've already landed on in this string. If you land on one spring, you'll get 30 points. If you land on another one, before your frog stops, you'll get 60 points for that one. If you land on a third, you'll get 90 points. This pattern continues until you're frog stops. The distance and height you are flung after landing on one, depends on the type of swing you did. The higher the arc you made, the higher you'll bounce. However, the higher you go, the shorter distance that you'll be flung. So, if you want to go maximum distance, have a small arc. []============================================================================[] | 05E. Flies [FLIES] | []============================================================================[] Flies are a very unique part of this game. When a frog stops completely, a fly can allow him to begin moving again. You see, if the frog is close enough, he will jump for the fly, picking up points, and possibly entering into another combo of swimming, springs, and gimmick bubbles! There are two different kinds of flies. There are shiny ones, and there are black ones. The black ones are worth more, but both give points, that increase in a similair way to springs. That is, getting two or more in one swing results in more points, than two in seperate swings. Black ones evidently start at 20 or 30, while the shiny ones start at 10,15 or 20. There are evidently side effects though. Black ones make your frog a bit more tired - so he can't be hit as far - And gold ones make him a bit dizzier - So it is a bit harder to aim. This is uasually worth it, for the points, though. []============================================================================[] | 05F. Swimming [SWIMN] | []============================================================================[] This is another major aspect of the game, that seperates it from golf. When a frog is hit into water, it will begin to swim across. While swimming, a frog will gain 1 point each second. This number can be increased too. If you come out of the water, and use a spring, fly, or anything else like that, that gets you points, then go back in, the number will increase. For example, if I swim across a lake, at one point each second, then come up on shore to eat a fly, and boucne back in, I'll begin getting 2 points a second. If I then come up on another shore, bounce on a spring, and land back in the water once more, I'd be making 3 points each second! There are also lava pits that you can swim in - That is, if you're frog is one that is immune to lava. You can check this in the appendix section on frogs. If you're frog can't swim in lava, don't fret though. There are items that can help you out! Check the item appendix for more information on that. []============================================================================[] | 05G. Other Animals [ANIMA] | []============================================================================[] The first, and most common type of other animal that you'll meet, is the Snake. Snakes will play a big part of this game, as they are in almost every course. While aiming, sometimes you'll say a head pop up out of the ground. This will tell you that that area has a snake in it. However, they can appear in more areas as well. Now, about how they work. If you land in an area wqith one, they will pop up, and bite your frog! This can be a good thing or a bad thing. When this happens, you'll see a C-stick on the right-hand side of the screen. Press the C-stick in left-right motions, until the snake lets go. If you press it fast, you'll gain points! Sometimes it's 30, sometimes it's 100, but either way, it can launch you into a possible combo. If you don't push it enough, you will lose points - However, you can still continue your combo! Another common animal, is the elephant. Sometimes, they'll appear as Mammoths. These guys are huge, so you can easily spot them on the map. Like Snakes, they can be either good or bad. You see, they'll send you in a random direction, and either give, or take points from you. A bar on the right side of the screen will have an A button. When it lights up, hit the A button! If you time it correctly, you will gain points, from between 30 and 100. Another "animal" is a spiked-bomb creature. If you land near it, it will detonate. Like with the elephants, a bar with an A button will light up on the right. If you press A at the right time, you get points. If not, you lose them. Again, you will be blasted in a random direction. There are also tadpoles and Pterodactly. If you land on a tadpole in the water, he will give your frtog a ride, doubling the points you were getting each second, until you reach the shore. For example, if I was swimming at 4 points each second, and got a tadpole, I'd be getting 8 points each second. Pterodactlys are similair, except they will give you 10 points a second no matter what. You can ride the Pterodactly, by landing in its nest. Finally, there's the storm cloud. They are activated if you bump into them, or land below where they are floating. One of two things can happen, and you don't have control over it. Either they rain on you, giving 1,2,3, or 4 points per second, or they strike lightning at you, causing you to lose points, and be blasted in a random direction. []============================================================================[] | 05I. Ice/Mud Sliding [SLIDE] | []============================================================================[] In some levels - Mainly those on Frosticle - there are frozen lakes of either water or mud. If you hit your frog onto one of these, they will continue to slide, until they are off the ice. There are items that you can use to negate this effect, butt with some planning, it can be used to really help you. You don't get any points for it, however. []============================================================================[] | 05I. Portals [PORTL] | []============================================================================[] Portals are an interesting part of the game. If you hit your frog into one, you will gain 30 points, and make your frog a bit dizzier. However, that's not the interesting part. You see, any level with a portal in it, contains at least two seperate portals, and hitting your frog into one, will cause him to come out of the other one! This is a great way to string together combos, while moving your frog closer to the hole. []============================================================================[] | 05J. Item Pads [IPADS] | []============================================================================[] In most levels, you'll see large pads with question marks on them, on the ground. You can also identify them by the balloons floating above them. Well, these are item pads. When you land on one, the balloon will pop, and you will be rewarded an item! Besides the item yuou'll also get some points. The point total will be 10,20,30,50,100 or 200. []============================================================================[] | 05K. Misc. Features [MISCF] | []============================================================================[] Throughout the course of the game, you'll face many other features as well. These will include storm clouds, elephants, conveyor belts, and man-eating mushrooms. It's stuff like these that make up this game! Instead of making this section too long, I'll just list those special features in the Planets section. That will make things alot easier to find for you. __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 06. Scoring System [SCORE] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ Now, I'm assuming you'd like to know how the scoring system works. Or at least you will if you plan to build those large combos! First, let's look at how the points you get for sinking the frog in the hole works. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | FROG-IN-ONE | 1,500 Points | | First FROG-IN | 1,000 Points | | Other | 1,000 Points - (Number of turns since 1st) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] Next, let's take a look at how springs give out points. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | First Spring | 30 Points | | Other Spring | 30 Points x (Spring Number) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] And Flies... []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Fly | Varies (Based on Length of Combo) | | Shiny Fly | Varies (Based on Combo) (More than Normal) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] * I am not sure about this. Any information would be appreciated. Gimmick Bubbles shown below. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Point Bubble | (Number Shown on It) | | Multiplier Bubble | (Multiplier Shown) x (Combo Score) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] Now we look at the interaction with living creatures. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Snake | Random Points (Add or Subtract) | | Chomp | Random Points (Add or Subtract) | | Mammoth | Random Points (Add or Subtract) | | Salamanders |(Points per second swimming) x 2 x (Seconds)| | Pterodactly | 5 Points x (Number of Seconds) | | Storm Clouds (Raining) | 1/2/3/4 x (Number of Seconds) | | Storm Clouds (Lightning) | Random Points (Subtracted) | | Black Cloud | 100 Points | | Mine | Random Points (Add or Subtract) | | Blizzard Monster | Random Points (Add or Subtract) | | Tiny Tees | 10 Points x (Number of Seconds) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] And now, let's look at swimming. Note, for the lava, this only applies if your frog can handle it. Most frogs will simply bounce out of the water. Four times like this, and you'll get an out of bound (shown a bit later.) []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | First Water Swim | 1 Point x (Number of Seconds) | | Other Water Swim | (Number of Swim) x (Number of Seconds) | | First Lava Swim | 1 Point x (Number of Seconds) | | Other Lava Swim | (Number of Swim) x (Number of Seconds) | | First Orange Water Swim | 20 Points x (Number of Seconds) | | Other Orange Water Swim | (40 x Number of Swim) x (Number of Seconds)| []==============================[ ]==========================================[] Portals work like so: []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Portals | 30 Points | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] And getting out of bounds. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Our of Bounds | 50/100 (Subtracted) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] Hitting a wall. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Hitting a Wall | 5/10/20/30/100 (Subtracted) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] And landing on targets. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Targets with Points Marked | Points Shown | | Blue Targets | 30/40/60/100/140 (Random) | | Item Targets | 10/20/50/100/150/200/300 (Depends on Item) | | Clown Targets | 5/30 Points (Depending on Position) | | Smile Targets | 30/40/60/100/140 (Random) | | Arrow Targets | 10/20/30 x (Number of Bubbles You Get) | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] Finally, you will be given points as a bonmus, after 4 matches. []==============================[ ]==========================================[] | Swim King (Swimming Most) | 100/200 Points | | Drive King (Driving Farthest) | 100/200 Points | | Crash King (Crashing Most) | 100/200 Points | []==============================[ ]==========================================[] __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 07.

The Story [STORY] | []============================================================================[] Scooter, is a young boy, who evidently has a hammer. Due to this, he is summoned by the King. The king tells him, that the planet is low on Ribbenite - a substance needed to keep the planet going. Well, evidently, there's a Frolf tournament, with a supply of Ribbenite for the prize! Being as Scooter is the only one with a hammer, he is told to enter it. After a short dillema, of the King being too cheap to get him a good trainer, buying the one he did on a bargain sale, SCooter will be good to go Frolfing in the tournament! []============================================================================[] | 07B. The F.U.V. [FUVSM] | []============================================================================[] After the first match with Pickwich (don't worry, It's covered int hte section below) you'll be taken aboard a spaceship, known as the F.U.V. There are a few things that you can do in here. Let me go over these things: Gumbah-Goo: This is the gumball machine against the wall. For 2000 money, you can get a random gumball from this machine. You get money by winning Frolf matches. Note: You can shake it with the C-stick. Vend-o-Matic: You can buy three items here. Power-Fuel, for 1000 money, Frog- Fuel, for 500, and Beta-Ribbotin for 300. Pickwick: If youi talk to pickwick, you can view and setup the items and frogs that you'll be bringing along to your next Frolf game. You can also contact the king to save, view your bottlecaps, and quit back to the main menu. Slugger: If you talk to slugger, you'll be able to choose an opponent to face in a game of Frolf. Take a Nap: This isn't useful, and is just for a bit of fun. Don't press anything on the controller. Soon, Scooter will stumble, as if he was tired. Then, he'll fall down. After that, his head will bobble, and he'll take a little nap! Soon, he'll get up, slightly dizzy, and revert to normal. __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 08.

Unlockables [UNLCK] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ There are five different types of things that you can unlock in this game. They are Characters, Frogs, Items, Movie Clips, and bottlecaps. You can unlock the characters by beating them in story mode. You can unlock items by either landing on item pads during matches, getting them randomly from the gumbah-goo machine, buying them from the vend-o-matic, or buying them from an opponent after a match. You unlock frogs by buying them from opponents after a match (see the frogs section for more detail). There are also two rare frogs, that can only be got through the gumbah-goo machine. You unlock bottlecaps for doing many different things. Theree are just too many to list, so check the bottlecaps section for more details on unlocking them. Finally, movie clips. Again, you have challenges. Put in the second disk (Ribbit King Plus) and scroll over a movie you didn't have yet, for how to unlock it. The goals are also in the Ribbit King Plus section of this FAQ. __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 12. Frequently Asked Questions [FREQU] | /\__/ \__/ |==============================================================O \ |___ /\_____/ __ \ |__\__________ \ |__| / / ___/ / \__\ /_____/ Asked By: RC Cruz me (GCN Ribbit King Message Board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is the bonus disc only for the Gamecube version? A: This is probably the most asked question on the game. And the answer is yes. While at the store buying this, I saw both cases, and both of them have the two disks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asked By: CPFace (GCN Ribbit King Message Board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is it just me, or are the CPU opponents' drives always the same when you replay them? It seems like they programmed in pre-determined shots instead of making an AI for the CPU opponents. A: The shots are generally in the same pattern, but they are not the same. For example, sometimes the opponent will get a Frog-In-One on a course, and the next time, they won't. Although yes, they go generally choose the same path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asked By: ShadowZora13 (GCN Ribbit King Message Board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. I just beat Sparky & Whoosh 2, and they offered me a hints & help (or something like that) for 100,000c. I had heard about the item but all it says is that it is only obtainable that one time. But I want to know what it does! A: The item has no real use, it is just part of the story. You actually can't purchase it, as they will change their mind if you select yes. However, later in the game, when Captain Oinka comes, Scooter will remember them. So, basically, it's jsut there as part of the plot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asked By: Seiryu Seikun (PS2 Ribbit King Message Board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I just beat Sparky and Whoosh 2 and they had a item called Cheats and Tips or something for 100,000, I didn't have enough so I was wondering if I go against them again will they offer the same thing? A: Like I said to ShadowZora13, you don't need that item. However, that was not your question. You wanted to know if they'll offer it again. The answer is no. The opponents will only try to sell you an item once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asked By: Stillnotelf (GCN Ribbit King Message Board) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Has anyone else had any clipping issues? I've played the first 5 levels or so, and a lot of multiplayer, without having any problems. Then, today, I hit a frog clear through a mountain on Frosticle... A: Unfortuneately, yes. I've gotten frogs through conveyor belts on planet Techtron. It's just a glitch we'll have to deal with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ / \ / \___ / | | \================================================================O \ () | () | \ 13.
