~Full Throttle (Walk-Thru)

WALK-THRU (Uploaded to the Cheet Sheets BBS).


First of all - are you sure you really need this?  This is a very 
easy game.  Just try all of the possibilities, and you'll be able to 
solve any of the puzzles.

However, if you insist, here's the complete solution to the game's 
puzzles.

~DOWN AND OUT AT THE KICKSTAND BAR

To begin with, you are inside a garbage dumpster.  Punch the 
rightmost lid to get out.  Leave the screen to the right.  Use your 
hand on the bike -oops, no keys!  Enter the bar by using your foot 
on the door.  Talk to the bartender as long as you want, then use 
your hand on him.  After some further animated discussion, you get 
your keys.  Leave the bar, use your hand on the bike again, and take 
off! 

You'll have your first bike fight.  Just follow the instructions in 
the reference guide.  Basically, move your mouse to the right and 
click a lot. 

After you win the fight, you'll pop a wheelie and then suffer a 
small mishap. When you wake up, you'll find yourself in... 

~MELONWHA'?!?

You'll be introduced to Mo.  After talking to her, get the gas can 
and hose. Also, look at the picture on the wall.  Leave the shack. 

Outside, you'll talk to Miranda, the reporter.  Tell her about the 
ambush. After you leave the shack, she'll take off.  You'll come 
back on screen and share a dry witticism.  Now leave again. 

First, go to the trailer.  Use your hand on the door to get Todd to 
come up from down below.  While he's talking to you, use your foot 
on the door. Enter the trailer.  Take the lockpick from the cabinet 
and the meat from the refrigerator.  Step on the tan strip near the 
right rear; you'll be taken below to the workshop.  Grab the torch.  
You'll be instantly taken back to Mo's. 

Leave Mo's and head for the gas tower on the far right of Melonweed.  
Use the lockpick on the lock.  Grab the lock when you're done.  
Enter the door. Go over to the ladder and touch it.  Gawds, what a 
noise!  Quick, hide in the shadows to the extreme rear and far left 
of the tower.  Wait for the cops to arrive.  They'll look for you in 
the tower.  While they're up there, open the gas cap of their 
vehicle.  Use the hose on the gas cap and use the gas can on the 
hose.  Lastly, use your mouth on the hose.  After some more hijinks 
with the police, you'll go back to Mo's. 

Now head for the junkyard.  Lock the gate with the lock, then climb 
the chain. Go to the parts pile toward underneath the lights.   
Oops, did I forget to mention the dog?  After playing with him for a 
while, re-enter the junk yard.  Move all the way to the right; 
eventually a red arrow will point you to a place where the dog likes 
to play with his cars.  DON'T MOVE!  Use the meat on the blue car 
next to you.  Exit back to the left.  See the big crane?  Move the 
cursor over it until it become a red arrow.  Then click, and you'll 
be taken to the control room.  Move the magnet over the dog's car. 
Hit the button to turn on the magnet and use the far left lever to 
lower the crane until it picks up the car.  Raise the magnet as far 
as it can go. Now leave, enter the junk yard, and grab the forks 
from parts pile. 

After some more conversation with Mo, you'll leave Melonweed, 
apparently forever.  However, some cops have some areas of 
disagreement to discuss.  So, go back to the gas tower and touch the 
ladder again.  Quick, leave, get back on your bike, and get out of 
town whilst the cops check out the alarm. Now you can really leave 
Melonweed, apparently forever. 

After a very long cutscene with some interesting points (don't 
forget Corley's nickname for his daughter), you'll go back to 
Melonweed and Mo's shack.  All you need to do here is look at the 
debris.  After Ben makes some Sherlock Holmes-like observations, 
leave the shack, and use your bike.  Exit to the top-left of the 
screen: You've said goodbye to Melonweed forever (no, really!) and 
you're off to the Mink Ranch. 

~AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN

Alas, your police friends still want to talk with you, and they've 
closed off the roads.  You'll find yourself once again in front of 
the Kickstand. Go behind the bar to your favorite garbage dumpster.  
Look in the dumpster. You'll find a new resident - Miranda, who 
looks right at home.  She'll give you a fake ID.  Now you can go 
enter the bar.  Talk to the truck driver as long as you want, then 
show him the ID.  He'll put you in the front of his truck.  Now you 
can get by the roadblock. 

He'll drop you off at the Mink Ranch.  After you swear a vow of 
death upon the guy who helped you out, enter the front door of the 
Mink Ranch (which is at the bottom-right of the screen).  You'll 
find Mo's bedroom.  Use your hand on her pillow - you'll find a very 
versatile tire iron. Get the tire iron and use it on the trunk.  
You'll find a hose you can use to fix your bike. 

What follows next is another long cut scene.  After briefly seeing 
Mo (and eating her dust), and watching the trucker get his (but not 
from you), you'll find yourself next to a pile of fertilizer. 

~MY FRIENDS ON THE OLD MINE ROAD

First, use the tire iron on the wheels.  The use your hand on the 
trailer. This should tip it over.  While you're at it, grab some 
fertilizer - only a little.  Then, head back up the road (towards 
the top of the screen).  Ignore any signs leading to the Mine Road; 
you'll get there later. 

You'll come across Nestor and Bolus.  They'll follow you.  Again, 
ignore the signs and lead the straight to the fertilizer.  They'll 
crash (but live). After Colonel Blair - er, sorry, Adrian Ripburger 
- takes them away, you'll find yourself next to the ruins of the 
bridge.  Head back down the road and wait until you see a stop sign.  
Click your mouse then, and you'll stop at the crash site.  Use the 
tire iron on the rear fender.  You'll get a hover lift.  Use it on 
your bike. 

Now for the Old Mine Road.  Head up the road in any direction, and 
click when you see a sign for the Mine Road.  The first person 
you'll meet is Father Torque.  Talk to him for a while.  Then you'll 
start meeting friends and having pleasant conversations with them.  
Here's what you'll need: 

CHAIN -        This you get from a guy on a small bike - just punch 
               him enough, he'll go down easy.

CHAINSAW -     Mohawk woman is impossible to beat with ordinary 
               weapons.  Just click the right mouse button until your 
               fertilizer appears, then get close to her and use it.
               She'll go down easy.

BOARD -        The guy who has this is tough, but a whack from the 
               chainsaw will convince him to part with it.

BOOSTER PACK - You don't have a lot of time to get this guy before he 
               boosts away, but a couple of hits with the chain, and 
               you'll have a new booster pack.  Don't use the chain 
               with the skull, just the plain chain.

GOGGLES -      The Cavefish don't come here to play.  The way to get 
               them is to wait for the Cavefish to raise his (its?)  
               head, then get as close as possible without bumping 
               and use the board to give him a whack.  One hit should 
               put him down, but the timing has to be right.

You can fight the others if you want, but they're just for fun.  
TIP:  If you come across someone you don't want to fight, hit the 
esacpe key to skip the fight. 

Once you have the goggles, wait until the goggle picture appears in 
the top right part of your screen, then click your mouse.  You'll 
put on the goggles. Look at the lower left part of the screen, and 
wait for the word "CAVE" to appear.  Click your mouse, and you'll 
enter the Cavefish's lair. 

Keep driving down the road, through the turn, until you see the 
weird giant carvings - and a ramp.  Use your hand on the ramp to 
push it behind your bike.  Use your hand again on the ramp to hook 
it up to your bike.  Use your bike, and drive down the road to the 
turn.  Use your hand on the ramp again, and watch the Cavefish waste 
themselves.  You can now leave the cave. 

After setting up the ramp, read the sign next to your bike.  Read 
the plaque in the lower right part of the sign.  You'll now jump 
over the gorge, and be on your way to Corville. 

~HOLY GROUND

Walk down the hill and enter the stadium.  Go to the souvenir stand 
and use the joystick to move the toy car around until it runs down.  
Then look at the souvenirs at the rear of the stand.  While the old 
guy's back is turned, grab the yellow bunny.  Head back to your bike 
and use it to drive towards the top of the screen. 

You'll see the Vulture's hideout, protected by a mine field.  Use 
the bunny on the mine field.  He'll hop along until he blows up, but 
he'll leave behind a battery.  Grab the battery and head back 
towards the souvenir stand. 

Once there, use the battery on the toy car.  Then use the joystick 
to move the car off the top of the screen.  Then drive the car into 
the turnstile. The old man will go chasing after it.  While he's 
gone, grab the box of bunnies.  Go back to the mine field. 

Use the box of bunnies on the mine field.  All of them will start 
hopping about.  QUICKLY, pick all of them up but one.  Let him hop 
until he blows up.  Follow his path as far as you can, the drop 
another bunny.  Follow this procedure until you reach the Vulture 
hideout. 

You'll have a painful conversation with an off-screen Mo.  Threaten 
her, call her names, and use the nickname her father had for her - 
Diapered Dynamo. She'll release you after a while, and the Vultures 
will come up with a plan that lead you to... 

~THE DEMOLITION DERBY

Mo's being guarded by Nestor and Bolus in the blue car, so you gotta 
find a way around them - or over them. 

TIP:  The arrow keys are better to use than the mouse; they offer 
much better control. 

Go to the left center of the arena, and jump over the ramp.  The 
bronze car will oblige by sitting right where you land; this stalls 
it.  Push it to the ramp on the bottom right of the arena.  Push it 
up the ramp and over.  Follow it over; you'll bounce off it and onto 
the the bad guys' car, stalling it. Now ram Mo. 

She'll blow up.  You run; run to the top of the screen next to the 
closed doors and set the stadium on fire.  Next, you'll hop on top 
of the bronze car.  Wait for the bad guys to ram the bronze car, 
then hop on top of their car.  Wait for them to drive by the burning 
wrecks, them jump off and run into the fire.  They'll follow and 
blow themselves up. 

~EXPOSING THE RAT-FINK RIPBURGER

Back at the hideout, talk to Mo some more, then look at the 
disassembled bike.  You're looking for a six-digit number (no 
letters).  In my game the number was 154492; it may be different on 
yours.  Now, leave the hideout and go behind the factory. 

It's difficult to describe where you need to be when you kick the 
wall. It is to the left side of the screen, about a fourth of the 
way along the wall. See the three metal support poles attached to 
the wall?  When you kick the wall, you want to be lined up with the 
far left pole.  Wait until the green lines on the power meters all 
have black gaps (and the clicking noise stops), then kick the wall.  
If you've got it right, the hatch will open.  Enter it. 

In Corley's office, look at the floor safe in front of the desk.  
Use the six-digit combination, the press where the initials are 
engraved.  The safe will rise and you'll get a card and a 
reel-to-reel audio tape.  Now enter the hallway on the right. 

Use the card on the card reader next to the door on the far right.  
Enter the room.  There are two levers on the projector.  Use your 
hand on the left motor lever once.  Quickly, use your hand on the 
right lamp lever twice. Then leave the room.  Mavis will leave her 
post and enter this room. 

Once back in the hallway, enter through the center door.  Use the 
photos on the easel.  Then sit back and watch another long cut 
scene. 

~FRENZIED FUN ON THE CORLEY SEMI

Ripburger has smashed your bike (although you already know from the 
number of times you wiped out on the Old Mine Road that your bike is 
indestructible). You're clinging to the front of the semi for dear 
life. 

First, open the grill.  Then open the panel.  When Ripburger leans 
out to close it, grab his cane.  Use the cane on the fan.  You'll 
climb through the engine compartment to the back of the cab.  Use 
the tire iron on the far right fuel line. 

After some more fun, you'll find yourself in the Vulture's 
road-plane.  Climb the ladder - don't worry, Ripburger is a lousy 
shot.  Keep moving towards the ladder until you can climb it.  Then 
activate the screen in the cockpit.  If you're interested in trying 
to activate the self-destruct, remember Dr. Strangelove.  What you 
really want to do, though, is raise the landing gear. You'll find 
this option in the Takeoff - Post Takeoff - Gear menu. 

Next, you'll be on top of the cab of the semi as it teeters on the 
bridge. Enter the cab, then activate the screen.  Use the Defense 
menu to reach the Machine Gun menu, then use the Conrtol menu to 
shut down the machine guns. Ripburger gets his. 

Climb back into the road-plane.  It's about to explode. Climb on 
your bike -where is it?  Walk to the left side of the plane and 
you'll see it.  Use it, and take off! 

That's it.  Another long cut scene, a poignant good-bye, and credits.

There's lots of other stuff you can do, like ask the bartender about 
the picture on the wall, or have fun with Mavis the projectionist.  
Feel free to try anything; nothing will kill you or make it 
impossible to win the game. 

Have Fun!
