The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 3

Chapter 1: Squiggleville

Micro Trial of Chapter 1:

  • The micro trial is located near the very beginning of the level.

  • The starting point looks like a spring pad on top of a white rectangle with a 0 on it.

  • The zero indicates what the score is for the run. You will reach this spring pad after you pass a large spring pad by a hill.

    1. Once you start, make sure to keep your momentum up until the third platform. You only have to tap up to jump easily to the second platform.

    2. Keep holding down the right direction once you land on the second pad. After you land, make sure to immediately tap up to jump up to the third platform.

    3. Make sure to hold it down for half a second before you release the up direction.

    4. Once you have landed on the 3rd platform, change direction and hold down jump to make it to the slanted ramp.

    5. Run as fast as you can and make sure to hold down jump once you get to the end of the slanted platform.

    6. Keep your momentum going left, then tap the up direction to land on the final platform without missing any of the squiggles.

    7. To clear the gap to your house's roof, make sure to hold the up direction as you jump from the end of the final platform. You will hit every squiggle and land right on the roof.

First Star of Chapter 1:

  • The first star is located on a lone platform with two health squiggles sitting around it.

  • Use the spring pad on top of the red building you enter. It will launch you right to it.

Second Star of Chapter 1:

  • The second star is accessible from the roof of the red building.

    1. Find a guy on the computer inside the building.

    2. From there, wall jump off the wall nearest him to get onto the roof.

    3. Walk over to the chimney. First, hold the up direction next to the building's chimney and grab onto its edge.

    4. Press the up direction again to jump onto the chimney. The next part is a little tricky for some people.

    5. Jump the chimney onto the side of the green building, but make sure to never let go of the up direction.

    6. Once you hit the wall, provided you are still holding up, you will run farther up the wall.

    7. As soon as you reach the max height of your wall run, jump from the wall pressing the right directional button to get the star.

  • After that, you can jump down in between the red and green buildings to continue onwards. Scale the inside of the green building and use the jump pad at the top of the building to progress forward. You can also drop down from the roof and still be able to continue.

Challenge Room and the Dark Green Pants

  • The challenge room can be accessed by two possible ways.

    1. First Way:

      • You can access the challenge room by dropping down in between the green building and the pale yellow building from the green building's roof.

      • You should not use the spring pad because it will send you into the pale building's oil slick ramp.

      • There is a tunnel path leading underneath the green building, but you will notice a smaller path leading away from the green building.

      • Follow it, find to box steps and see the scientist next to the door.

    2. Second Way:

      • The other way is to use the spring pad from on top of the green building. You will get launched towards the pale building and be sent sliding down the oil slick, out and away from the other buildings.

      • Once you see the arrow signs pointing at an angle and right, you will see a tunnel leading to the left. Follow the tunnel and find the NPC near a door.

  • The door leads to a bonus trick stage where you need to beat the NPC's high score. The key to the stage is to chain together as many fancy moves as possible. There many many different ways to do it, but here are some helpful tips while trying it.

    • The more different styles of tricks you perform (wall jumps, ledge grabs, rolls, backflips, etc.), the more points you will receive.

    • If you keep repeating a particular trick, you receive fewer points each subsequent time you perform it.

    • Save using backflips and spins until you find a spring platform to jump on. You can combine the backflip and spring jump to get thousands of points very easily.

    • You can grab the squiggles as you perform tricks for even more points. You just need to make sure you try every type of move you can so you can get the max amount of points as quickly as possible.

  • Beating the high score of 500,000 points will get you new fancy pants.

Third Star in Chapter 1:

  • This star is not in the level per se, but you need to reach a door to get access to it. To get there:

    1. You start off at the point where there is the arrow signs pointing at an angle and to the right.

    2. Get a running start from inside the tunnel to the sign's left and jump up onto the looped wall.

    3. Continue up the looped wall and land on the platform to its left.

    4. Head to the right, jump on the top of the looped wall, and wall jump up the bath tub sign onto the next platform.

    5. Go to the left and just run off the edge onto the slanted platform below it and to the left.

    6. Keeping running left so you get a lot of momentum.

    7. Once you hit the grassy loop, keep running so you launch onto the side of the pale building.

    8. You will stick to the side of the building and jump onto the platform with the door.

    9. Once you enter the door, run left up the hill and past the house until you see a bunch of spring pads.

    10. Use the far left spring pad to jump over to the star.

Chapter 6: Pirate Cove

First Star in Chapter 6

  • The star is found near the first door to the Pirate Ship.

  • The star is high enough that you cannot just wall run and jump up to it without a little bit of a speed boost.

  • It takes practice, but you need to cling yourself to one of the wall underwater, dart off the wall, and shoot out of the water.

  • The speed will give you enough to wall run and jump up to grab the star.

  • The wall I used was located on the right side of the widened path you came out of. It is not the flat wall, but the middle of the angled wall. Fancy Pants will be angled roughly at 45 degrees and should be looking to the left.

  • Press up once you have clung to boost off of the wall, but exit the water a little bit away from the left wall so you do not wall cling to early.

  • Boosting too close to the wall does not give you enough room to maneuver or area to jump so you get the height necessary.

  • Make sure to hold the direction you wish to go so you can keep all the momentum going in the right direction.

Second Star in Chapter 6

  • As you exit the narrow tunnel underwater, keep swimming right until you swim underneath and past the pirate ship.

  • Run left and jump up to the curved platform that has a red arrow sign pointing towards the right.

  • Head left instead and jump on top of the thin wooden pillar to the sign's left side.

  • Hold the jump button and run up the wall. Wall jump over to the platform on the right and grab the bottle.

Micro Trial in Chapter 6

  • Head up the curved ramp once you land from the spring pad to see the micro trial spring pad waiting for you.

  • Jump on the pad and ride out the momentum. Walk along the platform and do a power stomp on the bat's head.

  • Land on the platform, jump up to the next one, and jump over to the downward sloped hill.

  • Run down to the curved end so you get launched up to the pillar and start wall jumping at the golden squiggles.

  • Get on top of the pillar and fall down to grab the coming golden squiggles.

  • Run left on the curved wall and jump up on to the metal platforms. Head left once you get on the third and highest platform there.

  • Keep running left down the hill and let the curved wall send you up to the top of a wooden pillar. It is close to a metal platform.

  • Jump on five bats first and then use a lone bat to get on the necessary platform.

Challenge Room and the Dark Orange Pants

  • A hermit crab will be sitting next to the door, and he needs you to get his shell.

  • You should barely miss grabbing the ledge. Now to get enough momentum, run left towards the top of the hill.

  • Once you are equal with the top, jump and wall run to get as high as you can to cling to the wall to the hill's left

  • When wall jumping this time, make sure you are pressing the direction opposite of the wall to jump farther right.

  • Keep holding right because you will run along the curved ramp and have enough momentum to launch all the way to the Bat creature.

  • The room next to the "batSpider" is the challenge room, and the challenge is to get the snail shell in the designated divot.

  • For completing the challenge, you will receive your final pair of Yellow Pants.

Micro Trial in Chapter 8

  • It is located above your starting position in the level, but you will have to wall run and jump to get up to it.

  • Start your run from the circle hole by the challenge door and run towards the hill. Hold jump to jump as high as possible and cling to the wall.

  • Wall run up and start wall jumping until you get above the rocky pillars. Head left and fall down on to the curved rocky surface.

  • A spider with a miner's hat will be by the trial spring pad: dispatch him so you do not have any unnecessary problems while completing the trial.

  • Jump on the spring pad and wall jump regularly over the first rock pillar.

  • When you cling to the second rock pillar, press and hold down as you wall jump so you are aimed downward.

  • Once back on the ground, run right, run up the wall, and wall jump over the third pillar.

  • Aim your falling so you hit each golden squiggle on the way down. Run left again and get the last squiggles to complete the challenge.

First Star in Chapter 8

  • Start by jumping from the hilltop at the beginning of the level to the paltform holding the mouse.

  • Keep heading right and jump from the tops of each rocky pillar. Stop running once you reach a couple of curved surfaces and one that looks like part of a circle.

  • Get on top of the slanted platform that is above the circular ramp loop and stand at its left edge.

  • Jump off the edge and fall to hit the inside of the curved ramp so it launches you up to the star.

  • You will speed up quickly, so be ready to jump at the very edge of the curved loop.

  • Start wall jumping once you hit the wall and grab the star waiting there.

  • The star is also located underneath a spider with a hard hat on.

Cutie Pants's Message in a Bottle #6

  • If you follow the hill path downward towards the batspider, keep running through all the curved surfaces until you get to the slanted platform by the first star.

  • If you follow the upper path, jump across the rectangular platforms, run over the curved surfaces, and jump up on to the slanted surface by rectangular floating wall.

  • Now jump on the downward slanted platform and wall jump onto the rectangular block above all the curved ramps, then make your way onto the upward slanted platform above the block.

  • Run up the slanted platform, jump onto the wall, and wall jump up to the platform which holds the bottle at the left edge.

  • Grab the bottle and continue your epic quest.

Second Star in Chapter 8

  • It is located very high up in the air, close to the exit to the level.

  • Start your search from the platform above the first star's location where that spider is walking back and forth.

  • Run left and wall jump up on to the rock section with the curved surface. It is the rock above the thin rock curve you see. There is also a spring pad to its right side.

  • Jump on to the spring pad and head right to cling to the wall.

  • Make your way up the staircase-like surface, jump across to the platform, and start running right.

  • When you are about to hit the wall, jump and hold the up button to wall run very quickly, then jump on to the small rock platform.

  • Jump over to the curved platform and stand at the very right edge to start the necessary run for the star.

  • Run and jump off of the left edge and aim for the curved section.

  • Once you land in the curved loop, start sliding for a speed boost. It will send you flying.

  • If you got enough speed and height, you should hit the star, and you can continue on to the very end of the level.

Third Star in Chapter 8

  • It is located above your starting position in the level, but you will have to wall run and jump to get up to it.

  • Start your run from the circle hole by the challenge door and run towards the hill. Hold jump to jump as high as possible and cling to the wall.

  • Wall run up and start wall jumping until you get above the rocky pillars.

  • Jump on top of the right pillar and get on the tiny rock platform. Notice a spring pad aimed up and to the left.

  • Jump on that spring pad, ride the jump up, and run right until you get to a giant spring pad.

  • Use the spring pad and cling to the oil slicked wall as you go up so you can reach high enough to start wall jumping.

  • Jump up until you land on a platform holding a mysterious door. Enter to challenge your fancy skills.

  • Run right and jump on to the big brown platform. Wait until it angles itself upwards and jump up to the constantly moving blue platforms.

  • Keep running right as the blue platforms move and hold jump to make your way on to the white platform.

  • Keep running right, but do not jump on to the higher white platform. Run off the right edge of the platform you are on and fall onto a checkpoint platform.

  • Run and jump off that platform and start holding down once you hit the wall with an arrow on it.

  • The loop-de-loop sign indicates you will need to roll. That is why you are holding down the down button.

  • Once you roll to the bottom of the half circle curve, press and hold down the right button to start running again.

  • Jump once you reach the end of the surface to launch to the next white platform.

  • Never stop running and jump on to the brown tilting platform again. Keep heading right.

  • Jump off of its right edge and follow the arrows as you fall.

  • Once you hit the platform below, go into a slide by holding down, but jump after the quick burst of speed from the slide.

  • That should launch you far and high enough to hit the wall and start wall jumping safely to the exit.

  • The star is sitting right at the exit to the room.

Chapter 9: Island Express

First Star in Chapter 9

  • After you launch from the cannon at the end of Chapter 8, you land in the ocean.

  • Swim down from where you landed and look in the bottom left corner of the ocean.

  • The star should be sitting there very close to the edge of the level.

Second Star of Chapter 9

  • The star is located inside of the grassy area after you get launched by the big spring pad.

  • You will fall for a good bit of time. When you land, head left.

  • You will see the star sitting there, so wall run up the invisible wall and jump to get the star.

Third Star of Chapter 9

  • The star is located inside of the temple where you get the Dye of Norris.

  • You will jump across two blocks to get to the moving platforms. There are two of those before you need to wall jump onto the upside-down L platform.

  • You will jump across two platforms that tilt before you get close to the star.

  • When you land on the very narrow pillar, run jump onto the wall to the right of it and wall run up.

  • Climb on top of the surface, edge cling to the side that has the star, and voila!

Is anyone else having a problem with it not loading? I've been waiting about 20 minutes and there's still no progress at all on the loading bar...

Maybe it has to do with all the traffic this game's getting?

[That happened to me once with this game, too. Try reloading the game page, that should resolve the issue. -Jay]

breakstress April 8, 2012 11:43 PM

It loaded after reloading the page a few times! But now the game won't recognize my "s" key presses.

It worked once when fancy pants man jumped out of bed, and then ...nothing.

The space bar won't work either and I've tried the "reset controls" button and switching between Input A and B multiple times.

I've tried the game off this site, and off of the armor games site and the same thing happens.

I can use the arrow keys though... but no "s" key makes the game unplayable...

Does anyone have the same problem/ know how to fix it?

That sounds like a Flash Player version issue.

It's very similar to what I experience when I play some Flash games that require Flash Player 11 in Firefox on my Mac with OS 10.5.8. The latest Flash Player installer version available for my OS is only 10.3, which causes those Flash games to not recognize keyboard input after the first press of a key.

The way I get around it is to use Chrome, the latest version of which comes with Flash Player (11.2) embedded within it.

I hope that helps.

Well, the game was wonderful up until:

The ending! Or rather, the lack of ending. I can't really believe that a game that has so many good points, just decided to end without any real resolution. You smack the pirate king on the bum a few times, pick up your sister... and that's it? Menu screen?

:( I was really disappointed after spending a couple hours perfecting the game. I'm not asking for a blockbuster ending, but even a 5 second quip by the sister would have been something...

Kratospie April 9, 2012 2:23 AM

I loved the other Fancy Pants games, and this one is no exception. The pencil fighting mechanism was fun, although it was rather simple. The story was funny and filled with the usual humor.

Just like Kalamari said, the ending felt rushed. After I got the hair dye in Island Express, I felt lost. Your suddenly transported back to the ship without any explanation, it just feels too sudden and abrupt. The last part of the game as a whole could have been better.

Hope this makes sense!

Once you have gone across the chandeliers and over the next couple of platforms and down past the yellow door you come to the curley slope with the green trail on the end. Jump of the end of the green trail and go up an over the post ahead and hang on to the green rope over the green swing looking thing.

Drop down onto the green swing and then jump up, if you catch the rope, just drop and jump again. Eventually you will pass the rope and get knocked over by the ledge above onto the green door platform.

You cannot actually see the green door from the swing or the rope, so for me was pure frustration and boing boing boinging that found it be accident

Oh and I am sure there may be an easier more pro way but that was mine

I'm having trouble getting all the stars in the first level as well, and Kalamri's link is not working for me.

Also, I swear some of the jumps required to get to the extra stuff in the Misplaced Cave are NOT POSSIBLE.

Reply
randomfunkyperson April 11, 2012 12:28 AM

For the Misplaced Cave all the jumps are possible... barely. To get to the door with the bat you have to

Go to the top of the hill to the left, press down to roll in a ball down the hill and keep rolling while flying through the air until you grab the ledge.

The thing is - FPA is like Spyro in a lot of ways -

The first you love because it breaks the limits of a genre. And once that's broken, the games that follow don't have much more to do besides gilt the lily.

And sometimes it's fun - the moving platforms, the smoother movement and jumping, the pencil

And sometimes it's not - the frustratingly finicky snail golf

And sometimes it just feels like too much extra - challenges, bottles, stars

My favorite part of FPA was by far the weightless floaty feeling I get when I see Fancy Pants man run super fast upside down on a long path. And I think the game has forgotten that sheer joy.

Reply

Thanks for reposting the level one star guide.

I'm stuck in the secret door in the Misplaced Cave containing the third star.

The bit near the end of the obstacle course after a seesaw platform from which you jump to a rock. From there, there doesn't seem to be any possible way to jump the next distance, where you need to cling to a wall to wall jump to the end.

However, I have discovered a handy trick that might help for some of the other long jumps.

After you have the pencil, you can do this spinning attack while in the air (anything more than a quick tap will do. A quick tap in the air will still do the usual jab) that can give you some extra air time. You just can't wall grab after doing this, though.

Reply

Got it, finally.

I finally figured out you can maintain some momentum by sliding across the rock platform when you land.

Now to track down star one from Pirate Cove and star three from the Princess Ship...

Reply

The above only confused me (as almost all doors in the level lead back to the ship), but then I figured out something important about Pirate Cove:

If you've been through Pirate Cove before, and then you choose it in Level Select, it skips the first room. You have to run through Bummin' It Beach to get there.

Now I only need the second star in the Misplaced Cave. No clue where it could be.

randomfunkyperson April 12, 2012 4:40 PM

To find the 2nd star in the Misplaced Caves you need to

go to the far right top corner of the caves. Ok to make sure you are in the right place, there should be two platforms that are as high as you can go, below them is one small platform and then a level that goes left over two hills and then you can roll through a small tunnel under a platform with a spider... The star is above the second of those hills I mentioned. You have to run as fast as you can over the first hill and then launch off the second hill to get a snail and the star is above that.

I hope that helps.

I hear you, but as I continue to explore, I have found several places where you can still experience that feeling. (Some of the race-against-the-clock rooms, or under the beach, for example.) This world is bigger, and I'm finding more to explore the second and third time through.

With regards to the disappointing ending, I find that with FPA, "beating" the game is really beside the point. It's an almost sandboxy experience.

Cosmo3807 April 19, 2012 12:53 AM

@spike I would also like to know about Goat Mountain. The only way to even know about it is to hit PAUSE, then scroll left and right with the arrow keys to see each level. The "Goat Mountain Challenge" is between "Bummin' it Beach" & "Pirate Cove". I have absolutely no clue how to get to it or where it is! It doesn't show on the Level Screen.

Cosmo3807 April 19, 2012 12:56 AM

@Ettasoeur My challenge for the pink pants in "Bummin' it Beach" comes & goes. If I see it missing, I'll go into the level, take a few steps, hit Pause & its back. Quirky.

Cosmo3807 April 19, 2012 6:28 PM

Still no Goat Mountain info? drats...

Also, I was able to get the 1st star in Pirate Cove by

popping up out of the water onto the left wall while holding the UP button. That lets you climb a wee bit. Then I jumped off toward the right & just barely touched the star, but it was enough! Can't remember if I back flipped or not... might have tho.

Misplaced Cave Challenge (Blue door close to the bat):

Run from the top of the hill down to get speed then jump in the last possible moment. In the air, press A and S together to perform a "ninja flip" (this is how I call the move that looks like a sword *ball*. Do not mistake it with "ninja spin", which looks like a sword *top*). This gives you a forward jump to the bat.

In the room (cave) you have to kick to snail to the end of the cave (right side), which is very very difficult!

Cosmo3807 April 20, 2012 2:38 AM

Anyone else have trouble with the microtrial in Pirate Cove? The same problem comes into play trying to get the 3rd star as well. When I

stomp the bats, Fancy Pants doesn't go UP. He either flips to the side or just kinda rolls off. So I'm not able to then stomp the next bat to keep going.

I'll keep trying but I am VERY open to some advice!
Thx,

you have to hit the up button as you jump on the bat (or any other baddie) and it makes you bounce higher off of them

eureka about the goat mountain

it's above the entrance to the pirate cove. you finish the bummin' it beach level, run down the hill. you'll see some collapsible sand platforms. just let them lead you up and you'll find yourself above the entrance to the pirate cove. run ahead to the right and there's your goat mountain level.
