TEST MODE:
  • Hold down Start 1 & Start 2 keys to enter test mode on start up; then use Start 1 to advance to the next screen.
NOTE:
  • The attacking move in Japanese set is the headbutt. In the US set, it is replaced by some sort of 'sonic attack'.
Bugs:
  • There's a problem with the background music in Mikie when on the locker room level. The music sounds discordant and off-key. I checked previous MAME versions and found the music broke between 0.114 and 0.114u4, almost certainly this from 0.114u3 whatsnew.txt: Lord Nightmare improved the noise emulation in the SN76496 emulator. Added several variants which differ based on the noise generator and other parameters. The music always seemed a tiny bit off even in early MAME versions (perhaps the original was the same way) but it's noticeably worse now. mikie0118u5gre Machone
WIP:
  • 0.123u2: Changed palettesize to 4096 colors.
  • 0.93: Changed 2nd SN76496 clock speed to 3579545 Hz.
  • 0.89u4: Curt Coder cleaned up the Mikie driver. Changed clock speed of the 2x SN76496 to 1789772 Hz. Fixed rom filenames.
  • 23rd September 1999: Takahiro Nogi has corrected sound frequency in Mikie and Shao-Lin's Road.
  • 0.34b2: Nicola Salmoria added Mikie (headbutt version). Renamed (mikie) to (mikiehs). In Mikie (High School Graffiti) your weapon is a whistle instead of a headbutt. In the Japanese version the program roms are identical to the US version, only the graphics are different.
  • 0.33RC1: Changed description of clone (Japan) to 'Shinnyuushain Tooru-kun'.
  • 0.33b7: Nicola Salmoria added Mikie (US) and clone (Japan). The old one was bad and has been removed.
  • 0.31: Gerrit Van Goethem added hiscore save in Mikie.
  • 0.30: Allard van der Bas added Mikie (Konami 1984). Some colors are not very convincing, they might be wrong.

- TRIVIA -


The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Freshman Tooru-kun'.


This game is known outside Japan as "Mikie".


The classroom level of Mikie plays the song 'A Hard Day's Night' by The Beatles. The Gym Level plays 'Twist and Shout', the Medley/Russell song made famous by the Fab Four.


- UPDATES -


* Shinnyuushain Tooru-Kun : This is the original version. Mikie has red hair (because we all know that redheads are temperamental troublemakers :)). Football players are now Bulky Students (Classroom) or Police/Probation Officers (Garden). All of the students wear uniforms, including Mikie. Your classroom teacher wears a white shirt and is somewhat pudgier than his American counterpart. Many of the rooms also have a slightly different appearance and I believe the dance studio teacher wears glasses. Go figure.


* Mikie (High School Graffitti) : Aside from the noticeably different decor in the homeroom (all right, it's only the blackboard), there are several MAJOR differences in this MUCH harder version. Hearts that were normally in glass cases are stacked as piles of three hearts (you only have to time the last heart for Perfects). Furthermore, you can't headbutt in this version, you have to yell, which temporarily stuns enemies EXCEPT FOR your homeroom teacher, who cannot be stopped except by thrown items. Yelling is also much shorter range than headbutting, making timing crucial. Not a version for the weak-reflexed. Most importantly though is that if you take too long in a room, the Classroom teacher can throw what looks like either a necklace or dentures at you. On the plus side, you recover faster from a yell than a headbutt (less lag time) and enemies don't speed up as fast as they do in the other romsets (unfortunately, it seems as though the homeroom teacher will speed up on his own in this romset).


- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* Test mode : hold Start1+Start2 during boot.


* Secret message : In game instruction scene between title screen and demonstration play, input the following code when player character sits on a chair : hold 1P Up + 2P Down then press 1P Start 4 times. "THIS SOFTWARE IS AN ORIGINAL PRODUCT OF KONAMI" should appears.
