Talk:Baddest of the Bands Walkthrough

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 22:13, 1 November 2008

Suggested lines

A few lines for the walkthrough hit me, but I'm not ready to write the walkthrough myself right now (perhaps later).

• Time to go to Marzipan's house to talk to the hottest blonde in the area. {break} Oh, wait, you thought I meant Marzipan? Sorry, Strong Bad is physically incapable of speaking to her without insulting her.
• You'll want that billy club leaning next to the stage. Strong Sad doesn't mind if you take it. He does, however, mind the years of abuse he's suffered at your hands, and now that he has the power, he'll make sure to remind you. But, hey, at least you got the club, right?
• (regarding Pom Pom) And you thought you were the only cheater in this competition! I'd say two would play at that game, but you were already planning that anyway.

Have I hit a bug or something?

At the moment I'm completely, 100% stuck. It's plainly apparent to me from the Two-O-Duo CD that I'm supposed to make it look as though Coach Z has attempted to steal from Bubs' store, having already gotten him to smash Marzipan's window and toilet paper The Stick.

However, the only hint Strong Bad gives me is something about Bubs pining about the stuff he and Coach Z used to get up to, and how there's gotta be a list somewhere.

I HAVE that list. I've had it for ages. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something here?

And if I'm supposed to find and speak to Coach Z, he's nowhere to be found...

I'm stuck here, too.... Payphone Ed 11:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it's one of those major glitches that will require a hard reset. — MichaelXX2 12:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

This is one of the least obvious puzzle solutions in the game, probably the least between all three episodes so far. Steal the alarm from Bubs' Concession Stand (even later, it will be wholly impossible to steal the record) and put it in Coach Z's office. --Jay (Talk) 17:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and the clickable area is pretty small for what you have to click on; additionally, calling it the alarm is also misleading, since it's just the swirling red light, but yes, this was incredibly confusing. Payphone Ed 12:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Not enough walktrough.

There's not enough walkthrough here. Someone should fix that. RocketMasterZ 20:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you volunteering to be "someone"? You don't need to clear it by us to do that. We recognize that it's incomplete, hence the "Stub" tag on the page. --Jay (Talk) 20:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not smart enough to sabotage Cool Tapes. I showed Marzipan the TGS coloring book while she was watching PomStar ... but what else do I need to do??? I think I'm missing something. OptimisticFool 06:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll be getting to that shortly, but try framing Limozeen for doing the other things that annoy Marzipan. And get photographic evidence! --Jay (Talk) 06:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh, this part was pretty annoying, too; I had completely forgotten about the camera thinking it had served its purpose and was just taking up space in my inventory for no reason.... Figuring out how to sabotage Two-o-Duo was pretty aggravating as well.... Payphone Ed 12:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Band name, band name, band name...

Should we put all the band names in the middle of the walkthrough? I was against this as it doesn't add much to the main walkthrough, and I bumped the potential band names down to the bottom, but an anonny just put them back. --Jay (Talk) 19:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I cleaned it up a bit, but I certainly can see the rationale of putting it on a responses page instead. --DorianGray 19:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Secrets

Hey, has anyone made a list of the awesomeness chart items locations yet?

There doesn't seem to be anything about the musical moments on the net yet... 70.181.24.188 21:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I've found five of the seven musical moments:

1. Play Pom-Pom's record for Homestar at the Club
2. Play one of the two records you wind up with at the Club in Extended Play
3. Play the other one
4. Talk to Strong Sad in Strong Badia in Extended Play
5. Talk to Coach Z at the Track in Extended Play... I think. Might have to re-check this one

--Belthazar 23:31, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I talked to Coach Z after and still have 4, that's not one of them.

There's a serious lack of secret locations info on the web... 70.181.24.188 18:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Okies, I just found another three musical moments... which is odd, because I'm sure I managed five without doing any of these. Maybe one of them replaces playing Doin' the Wiggle at the Club. As for the Coach Z one, I'm gonna have to do it over and see what it actually was. In any case, the three I just found are to give the contest entry forms to The Cheat twice and Strong Mad once, at Marzipan's place. --Belthazar 07:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

There are a few threads on the Telltale Games forums about the various collectibles and other stuff. So far, everything's been listed except one of the "Expressions of Affection". The musical moments are:

1. Give Strong Mad an Entry Form
2. Give The Cheat an Entry Form
3. Give The Cheat an Entry Form again
4. Use the Boom Box option on Coach Z outside Marzipan's
5. Use the Slide to the Right record on the Technochocolate turntable
6. Use the Wiggle record on the turntable twice
7. Talk to Strong Sad in Extended Play

The Expressions of Affection (which are certain, but not all, mentions of the word "Love") are

1. Talk to Strong Sad about the bats twice
2. Talk to Bubs about the Funmachine
3. Talk to Coach Z about Marzipan twice
4. Have Marzipan make out a glossy to Strong Bad
5. Have Marzipan make out a glossy to Coach Z
6. Have Coach Z recite poetry for Marzipan
7. Talk to Limozeen about Two-O-Duo
8. Talk to the Whale at the PomStar concert twice
9. Talk to Coach Z after Two-O-Duo breaks up
10. One that I haven't found, though there are several mentions of "love" that don't make the cut.

Adding Expressions of Affection and Such

I'm Being Bold and adding in the Expressions of Affection and Musical Moments. I hope I'm doing it right! Now that the walkthrough contains all of the information necessary to obtain the highest rank, is it still a "Stub" or "Almost Complete"? -ReverendTed 21:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
