CEO Hints - Sam 'n' Max Hit the Road (1/5)

Sam 'n' Max Hit the Road (1/5)

This file contains the complete solution to LucasArts Sam & Max Hit the Road. Only read it if you're totally stuck, totally bored or totally stupid. After all it's your money and if you want to waste it by buying expensive computer games that you can't solve then that's your business.

This walkthrough takes you through the game step by step but only tells you to do the stuff necessary to complete the game. There is plenty more that you can do. For example, in many locations it seems unnecessary to talk to anyone, but often talking will provide a valuable clue for anyone who has not got this walkthrough. Sometimes talking to people will even bring about a moment of humour (after all this is supposed to be funny, right!)

If you really don't want to cheat that much, each section has a list of items that are up for grabs. If you know what you want just look up the item and read the text for that section.

Happy Cheating!!!!!!!!!

Office
At the office Take the Money from the Mouse Hole on the back wall. Walk over to the far right and Pick up the Black Light that Max uses to light up his rare sixties posters. Leave the office by the only door and make your way down stairs only stopping to allow Max to help someone go down.

On the street Use Max on the Hypercephalic Cat and get your assignment Orders (the Cat is the Bonded City Courier Sam mentions in the Intro). 'Use' the Car and you'll be placed on the main map. Click on the Carnival on the North East coast.

Items:	Money
	Black Light
	Assignment Orders

Carnival
Give the orders to Flambe the Fire-Belcher to get into the FREAK SHOW where you'll meet the Kushman Bros.

Freak Show
The Kushman's will outline your quest and give you a Day Pass for the rest of the Carnival. Pick up the Bigfoot hair just in front of the Ice Block and also take Jesse Jame's severed Hand. Go back out the back and walk all the way to the left to the CONE OF TRADEGY.

Items:	Jesse James severed Hand
	Bruno the Bigfoot's hair

Cone of Tradegy
Talk to the operator about Bruno and Trixie, he'll give you a clue about the TUNNEL OF LOVE. Ask him for a ride on the Cone.

After the ride Check out your inventory and talk to the operator about your missing stuff, he'll give you a Claim Ticket for the Lost and Found.

Walk over to the Wak-a-rat game and have a go, you need to score over 20 to win a bulbless Torch. Also get the Fishbowl Magnifying lens from the attraction to the right of the Wak-a-Rat. Go to the far right past Trixie's Trailer to the LOST AND FOUND.

Items:	Claim Ticket
	Fishbowl Magnifying Lens
	Bulbless Torch

Lost and Found
Just walk in, provided you have the Claim Ticket you'll get all your stuff back plus a Refrigerator magnet from the WORLD OF FISH. Looking in your inventory will make WORLD OF FISH appear on the Map. Go left, round the Freak show tent and down the other side to the TUNNEL OF LOVE.

Items:	Refrigerator Magnet

Tunnel of Love
In your inventory use the Black Light with the Torch and then 'use' the torch (allows it to be accessed by the right mouse button). Now use the Swan to ride the T.O.L. When you get inside select the torch with the right Mouse Button and point the cursor at the unlit areas of the ride. You can now select the normal 'Look' and 'Use' icons (Right Mouse button) and use the torch at the same time. Look into the third darkened area until you register the FuseBox. Well before the ride draws level to it, select Max from your Inventory and use him on the FuseBox. If you don't make it in time you will have to get off and try it again. If you try too early Sam will say so and you can try again when the ride has moved on a bit.

CAUTION: Make sure Sam has stopped walking before you try to move Sam yourself. It is possible to get him stuck next to the secret door (Well I did).

Look at Henry VIII and Sam will operate the switch that opens the door to the Secret passage. Walk into the secret passage to find Dougie the Mole Man. He'll tell you about his Uncle Shuv-Oohl and mention the largest BALL of TWINE on the earth which will appear on the Map. Dougie wants some Pecan Flavoured Candy for More Info and the Key to Trixie's trailer. Use the T.O.L reset switch to enable you to get out of the ride. Leave via the door you came in and you'll be back outside. Walk off to the left and out to the exit. Drive to your nearest SNUCKEY'S (represented by the Large Hamburger's on the Map).

Snuckey's
Outside Snuckey's walk to the right and pick up the Cup then go inside. Inside Snuckey's pick up the box of Pecan Flavoured Candy from the top front of the left set of shelve's. You can also get a Sam and Max game from the Rack (different game in each of the Snuckey's). Talk to the assistant and buy the Candy (and the game). Talk to him about his time at Snuckey U and he'll tell you about the stuff he learned (including Pickle Jar opening), now talk about Jesse Jame's Severed Hand and he'll open the Jar for you. Next ask about the Toilet facilities and he'll give Max the Key (with Rasp attached). When Max has gone,quickly say goodbye and walk outside. When your out use the Car before Max goes back inside. Now talk to Max about the Key. Drive away with the key. Return to the CARNIVAL.

Items:	Pecan Flavoured Candy
	Key (with Rasp)
	Game(s)

Carnival (2)
Go back through the TUNNEL OF LOVE (easy this time) and talk to Dougie. Offer him the Pecan Flavoured Candy. He'll give you the Key to Trixie's trailer and tell you the story of how Trixie freed Bruno and ran off with him. Leave Dougie and the T.O.L. Go right, past the Cone of Tradegy and right again to Trixie's Trailer. Use the 'Key' on the door of the Trailer. Inside, use the Hope Chest and get the StiltWalker's costume. Open the closet, on the door you'll see a Gator Golf Scorecard. Take it (or just look at it). GATOR GOLF appears on the map.

Items:	Key to Trixie's trailer
	Stiltwalker's costume
	Gator Golf Scorecard

Now the trail gets cold. Leave the Carnival and go to the Largest BALL OF TWINE in the World.

Ball of Twine (the quest for string)
At the BALL of TWINE, visit the museum and talk to the attendant. He'll give you some information (not much though). Next go back to the cable car station and take the Cable Car up to the revolving Restaurant. You'll see a cut sequence that reveals the loose end of the Ball of Twine (and the fact that you need to get on the other side of the restaurant to get it). Enter the Restaurant by walking left from the Cable Car.

Only thing to do here for now is to talk to the mystic at the table (far right). Ask about the bent spanners and he'll give you a free sample. Leave the restaurant ('use' the lift). Now go back down on the Cable Car and head for WORLD OF FISH.

Items:	Bent Spanner

World of Fish
At the WORLD OF FISH take the left hand bucket of fish under the Fish Feed sign. Watch the Helicopter take the net of fish. To the left of the FisherMan is a large fibreglass Fish standing in the stream. Use the bent spanner with the loose bolt attaching the Fish to its stand. Now use the Fish and then use Max with the Fish. You should both end up in the Fish. After a long Cut sequence you will arrive at the left side of the Revolving Restaurant on the BALL OF TWINE.

Items:	Bucket of Fish

Ball of Twine (2)
Once at the restaurant note the loose end of the Twine and use Max on it. Another cut sequence results in Sam and Max back at the bottom of the Ball of Twine with 91 yards of Twine and miraculously still with a car. All that for a piece of string. Head for the GATOR GOLF emporium.

Items: 91 yards of Twine

Gator Golf
While idly chatting with the owner of Gator Golf you'll notice the broken Golf Ball retriever in the waste basket, take it. Go down the walkway to the Golf where you'll meet with Conroy and his henchman. Max end's up in the Dunk the Beast pen and Sam end's up with the Golf Club. Replace the bucket of Golf balls with the Bucket of fish acquired earlier. The idea is to hit the fish in front of each gator such that the gators form a line of stepping stones. This should be easy but seems unpredictable, the best way seems to be to place the flag at a position directly between Sam and the place where Max is, then hit two fish (without re-siting the flag). Repeat this for each Gator that you need to move. Max will tell you when you've got it right. Once Sam and Max stop arguing 'Use' the Plexiglass door to free Max. Max will give Sam another sample of Bigfoot hair. You'll now see another door on the base of the pen, 'Use' it and 'Look' inside, you'll get a Sno-Globe from the MYSTERY VORTEX which will then appear on the Map. Leave GATOR GOLF and go to the MYSTERY VORTEX to find Shuv-Oohl.

Items:	Bigfoot Hair
	Sno-Globe
	Golf Ball Retriever

Mystery Vortex
Walk to the right into the main hallway, Sam is either too big or too small to fit through any of the coloured doors. To remedy this Use the Large Mirror, it takes you to an underground chamber. Each of the three magnets that you find will produce a different colour when operated. The colours are from right to left RED, BLUE and YELLOW. Setting the magnets for the appropriate colour will allow Sam to enter a particular door. To start with all Magnets are off (levers down). To operate/disable a magnet 'Use' it's lever.

NOTE: The colours of the doors varies in each individual game that's played. I have not seen a Blue or Green door but imagine they probably occur. The only other combination is all off which will probably produce black. So if you see a Black door try that.

Shuv-Oohl is behind one of the doors, which one again varies with each game. You'll have to try them all. Once you find him talk to him (what else?). He will tell you to look for FROG ROCK between two places. The places will be any two from the following:

The inexplicable valley of lights
The Enchanted Argyle forest
The Eternal Plane of Acid Rain
The Largest Stump in the World
Mount Badrich

Make a note of which ones he says. He will also ask you to find his mood ring - which he lost building the Largest BALL OF TWINE in the world - in exchange for information. Leave Shuv-Oohl and go through the curtains at the back of the hall. Talk to the woman and get a clue about the Sno-Globe. While your there pick up (down) the Bigfoot hair near the melted ice block (saves you going back too often). Leave the Vortex and head for the BALL OF TWINE.

Items:	Bigfoot hair

Ball of Twine (3)
In your inventory use Jesse Jame's severed Hand with the broken Golf ball retriever and then use the Refrigerator magnet with the Golf ball retriever. Go down into the Museum and use the Golf ball retriever with the Ball of Twine. You end up with Shuv's mood ring. Now leave the museum and take the Cable Car up to the Restaurant. In there use the fishbowl magnifying lens with the Binoculars then pick up the exposed wires that come from the base of the Elevator. The icon will change to a pair of wires. Now click the icon on the Binoculars. You now have control of the restaurant. 'Use' the Binoculars, you can make the restaurant go fast or slow in either direction or stop it altogether using the mouse buttons (if you still can't handle it read the manual). You identify a landmark by stopping at it, once you have identified the two places Shuv-Oohl mentioned find the rock that lies directly between them, Sam will realise that this must be FROG ROCK. FROG ROCK now appears on the map. Now leave the restaurant and return to Shuv-Oohl.

Items:	Mood Ring

Mystery Vortex (2)
MYSTERY VORTEX (2) Go straight to Shuv-Oohl and talk to him about the Mood Ring, he'll ask you if you've found FROG ROCK and tell you what to do when you get there. He'll also give you some Mystic Mole Man Powder. Leave and head for FROG ROCK.

Items:	Mystic Mole Man Powder

Frog Rock
Go right, to the rock and use all three lots of bigfoot hair and the Mystic Mole Man Powder on it. Watch and Read. BUMPUSVILLE appears on the map.

Bumpusville
'Use' the front door and then go left down the hall. When you get to the place with the trophies find and take the portrait of John Muir (far wall). Go to the room on the left and watch Conroy perform. Leave the room and go back down the hallway as far as you can. Enter the room on the right and go up onto Conroy's bed, 'Use' the Golf Ball retriever on the large blue book on the bookshelf above the door. When you've finished reading go back up and get the Pillow with the Hair Tonic on it. Go back to hall. Find the Maintenance droid (you may have to search around a bit) and 'Use' the book on it. Once Sam has exposed it's inner workings, plug the blue (far-left) Jackplug in by clicking on it. The droid will now get Lee-Harvey out of the room you haven't been in yet. Wherever you are make your way to the right wing of the house and go into the room on the back wall. 'Use' the Virtual Reality machine. Take the sword from the stone and then walk forward. Use the Sword to kill the dragon. Take the Dragons Heart and you'll get a 'real' key. It is possible to get eaten by the dragon. In which case just repeat from where you use the book with the droid. Go back to the room where you saw Conroy perform and Use the key on the alarm to the right of the doorway. Bruno tell's you about the Bigfoot party at Evelyn Morrison's SAVAGE JUNGLE INN, which appears on the map.

Items:	Book on droid maintenance
	Portrait of John Muir
	Pillow with Hair Tonic

Savage Jungle Inn
Go into the Inn and talk to Evelyn Morrison, you don't learn much but at the end of the conversation she'll give you some brochures. At this point you could try on the Stiltwalker's costume (just go into your inventory and Use it). If you first give the Rasp (with attached Key) to the Bigfoot bouncer he'll be friendly and will offer constructive criticism. Next look in your inventory and Look at the brochures, the "DINOSAUR TARPIT and Bungee jumping national Park" and the "CELEBRITY VEGETABLE MUSEUM" will appear on the map.

For now head for the DINOSAUR TARPIT.

Dinosaur Tarpit
Walk down the path to where the Tyrannosaurus and the Mammoth are. Use Max with the Mammoth and Max will chomp off some hair for you. Next Select the Twine from your inventory and then Use the button on the speaker at the bottom of T.Rex. When the T.Rex has it's jaw wide open, click the right mouse button. The T.Rex's Jaw should remain open and the icon should be the length of twine. Now click the twine on the Jaw of T.Rex. Once Sam has finished, Use Max with the now dangling Twine. After the Cut sequence you'll have a genuine imitation dinosaur tooth. Walk off to the left and then down to the tarpit (Under George Washington's head). At the tarpit walk off to the right and walk into the elevator. At the top, open up your inventory and Use the Cup from Snuckey's with the Golf Ball Retriever. Select the Golf Ball Retriever so that it's ready to use with the right mouse button. Now Use the changing screens and then Use the Bungee rope. Select the Golf Ball Retriever and Use it on the tarpit. You'll now have some Tar. Use the changing screens again and walk back to the elevator, you can talk to the girl, but it ain't necessary.
