extra life
(without the quote marks). I do it all the time when I'm beta testing. It saves a lot of frustration when you're just trying to get through a mansion.
If you do that during a regular game, when you finish the final screen will say
Used Cheats
Funny, I just posted those instructions in the other mansion I was testing.....lololol and here you are posting them to me. lolololol
As a matter of fact, I think that it was you who taught me that years ago!
What made you think of me with this post???
btw: I am not getting email notices of the replies to topics.
I did check my profile settings & they are set to receive. hmmmm???
Oops, I saw your post to mapman above and misunderstood - I thought you were asking for extra lives. Sorry!
And the email notice thing - it's a common problem with the YaBB boards.
Thanks everyone, for those who liked the mansion and found bugs. I have reviewed each post and made changes.
Firstly: At the moment, Castle Basano Easy is NOT beatable in beta 1. Silly me didn't play through the mansion on Easy mode, and mostly focused on normal. The other two difficulties should be beatable. At that red door place in the cave area, it is currently not possible to get by that, it seems.
Another thing is that money that can't be reached, that people have mentioned, will be repositioned.
Jack stucks that have been mentioned will be fixed.
@ Missy : The idea in Castle Basano is to find three blue keys to get out of the castle. The yellow door you speak of is optional. There are 4 sections with blue keys in it. If you get all 4 keys, you get more treasure at the end, basically.
There are two yellow keys in the dungeon section before you have to use one. Even if you use one on that door in 16299 (not the optional zone one) you can still find another key and go back, and get it.
HOWEVER, if you complete ALL of the section below the castle first, (not the optional zone) you cannot go to the optional zone.
In this mansion I really wanted the players to have to figure this out, after all, this is a puzzle game.
Glad you all enjoyed my mansion so.
BTW, on normal mode, Margh, the total number of money you can possibly get is 32,500$.

HARD: Way To Many Critters & Cheap Deaths (just my opinion)
- Room 15693 Coloured disappearing bricks. Anthony, pls check: jumping from the blue one to the green one is impossible. Jack always dies!
- The grey bat brick from room 15694 lands in room 15894 near red door. But, if Jack jumps LEFT & leaves the room the brick disappears & Jack can't get back to the red door.
The brick should stay not leave.
- re: above quote: I was merely suggesting that the BB sign state the specific # of blue keys, because, once Jack goes DOWN the POLE, he can't go back up to look for more keys.
See the lever in pic below where Jack is standing, after he pulls the lever, he falls to his death. If he is suppose to jump, he can't tell, cause the brick are hiding the area. The sign says skeletons, but there isn't one in that spot.
Also, even if he does NOT pull that lever & jumps to the left, he still dies. There's a hole behind those bricks. hmmmm
Anthony, since there is a J.S. at the top of the roof, I don't want to take a chance and get stuck again, so would you please check out the following.
Just under the J.S. (roof area) there is a grey panel door.
Now my Jack is way down below in room 15502, he opened the red door & is suppose to jump onto the Grey Bat Brick that goes way up to the Grey Panel door area. Could you pls make sure that the closed Grey Panel door opens when he rides up on the Bat Brick. Thank You
Okay, don't even ask how my Jack gets himself into all these Jack Pots, just think of him as a Spastic Lucille Ball. lolololol,
Jack grabbed the Bat Brick FROM the room above 15101 & jumped off it onto one of the boxes in room 15101. hmmmm So now he has to double back to get the Bat Brick again as it kept going down when he jumped off.
So now he's in room 14900 (near the Save, with the grey door open), but he can't get thru that short cut way. see pic. He has to take the long way on the roof!
The all share the same problem. When Jack tries to jump for the vine from these spots, he can't. In one of the rooms, he did die as he fell, the other times, he fell onto the vine in the room below. I don't know if you want to do anything about it. see pics
... why on earth would Jack jump from where you are over the vine? You're only meant to be jumping from the direction you came onto the vine. There's nothing I can do about this.
15101 - If you were going down on the grey bat platform, it stops in the next room. You just need to jump down the platforms and down into the other room. What's to stop you?
I am going to fix the Jack stucks on the roof, so you'll die if you try to jump over the other side.
15299 - I don't see why you'd want to go back but I'll change the brick anyway.
15697 - Hahaha, you fell for the trick! Read the sign next to the trap next time.
15693 - I'll slow the bird, to make this a bit less of a hassle. That shield does help a lot, doesn't it, if the spider or the bird is in the wrong spot, and could disrupt you as you jump.
... The jump from blue to green is indeed impossible. You're meant to jump from blue to red to green.
15894 - I'll put some brick in the lava so you can jump over.
15502 - Yes, the grey door opens, but from a trigger on the other side.

The Grey Bat Brick on the left side goes left when Jack jumps on it. hmmm, What am I missing??? Jack can't get off it in the room on the left, he dies!
Re: the BB & Pole.....I guess I have my mansions missed up! lololol that's me....good o'l Lucille Ball. lolololol
RE: vines in 14899 et al....just pointing them out is all.
U never know who will complain about what, just covering all bases. lolololo (I removed post & pics)
What am I missing? I cannot get Jack past 16096 in Hard! Take the bricks down to this room and can jump to the one on the left, but have no where else to go. I have restarted three times in case there was somewhere I was meant to go first, but I do not see it.
Read the sign next to the trap next time.
