So, I’ve met all characters except Drake Redcrest, which means I’ve seen a fair share of the game. I’ve posted a bit here (as jaken23);
http://fryguy64.proboards27.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=modern&thread=2908&page=32
Some of it should answer most people’s initial questions. Have fun!
You’ve got much further than me. I’ve played for two hours and barely achieved anything.
One question: How do you do the first of the four volleyball games? I miss the ball every time as I can’t predict where they will land and by the time I see them it’s too late.
Heh, I’m stuck there too. You’re supposed to watch for the ball’s shadow but it’s just hard. Most I could get was 4 tosses. It’s just a matter of practice. And they don’t even offer a retry option.
Yeah, the lack of retry is a pain.
And I can’t even see the shadow!
So, I’ve mastered tossing practice (the last level demands 20 tosses) and receive practice.
Also, I’ve met the Space Hunter, so the roster is complete. There’s so much to do, I’ve neglected poor Little Mac. :p
Went back to the volleyball game and still couldn’t see any shadows on the first test. Does it matter what time of day you do it or something?
:(?
I’m playing on a 36″ Panasonic CRT (s-video connection), the shadow is perfectly visible. Maybe you’ve set the brightness too low? It’s a small grey dot on the ground at first, it gets bigger as the ball gets closer. I had to play the game several times, I haven’t noticed any discernible difference between time zones.
So I just got what I assume is the ‘bad ending’, where Captain Rainbow regains his popularity but feels a bit guilty at the end… presumably because he didn’t help anyone else.
So when I get a full star next time, how can I choose to help someone else? Are there some prerequisite challenges or something?
Characters that you’ve formed “strong bonds” with (by helping them out with stuff), will join you in your journey to the Altar if you speak to them while carrying a Star. At the Altar, you can choose to grant Nick’s (ニック) or the other person’s wish. They’ll even help you carry the Star or get in the Shadows’ way sometimes. The characters that you’ve formed strong bonds with will have a red circular sign on their pics when you press (+) on the Wii Remote.
Get rid of one of them by granting their wish and you’ll get the Gallery on the title screen (third button).
But you miss out on sub events when there are less people to interact with…I’m keeping them all on the island, and I have NO idea what will happen when I’m super best friends with everyone. Not knowing is pretty exciting. 😀
Btw, some parts of the game are completely unplayable if you don’t speak Japanese. Tracy’s quizzes (yes, plural…), the Furniture quiz (don’t ask) are good examples.
Any chance you’ll be posting vidoes of the quizzes so non-Japanese speaking folk will have a shot at getting past them?
Just throwing it out there. I’m expecting my copy today.
Unfortunately, I have no means to record Wii footage.
Plus, the quizzes change all the time. Randomly. Even if I started a new game file now, I couldn’t just give you the answers in “1)b 2)c 3)a” form. Also, it’s quite probable I won’t know several questions, since I never had to answer them.
Some of the questions with their answers for the Tracy quiz can be found here; http://www26.atwiki.jp/captain-rainbow/pages/21.html but you’ll still need to know some Japanese.
Awesome, thanks for that.
Was looking for some kind of Japanese walkthrough earlier today, with no luck.
Thanks for the advice Tom. I have a strong bond with Mappo so will grant his wish and see what happens.
In the meantime, I have another question. I heard you can cancel the star phase (or whatever it’s called) by throwing a smaller star into a bin. I can’t find the bin anywhere though. Do you know where it is?
You can quell the Starfall Night by discarding the Star (the big one that falls when you’ve collected 20 Sparklies).
The first Trash Can you’ll see is near the Altar, you should see a sign pointing to it before entering it. It’s somewhere in the white territory, near the Mimin Tomb. Just look around, you should find it easily.

I finally got around to training Little Mac, but I’ve failed twice…I’ve read somewhere that you can get just the right amount of calories by scoring 3500 (+15000 bonus kcal) on the hellish level. Then, you weigh him and…I don’t know what happens next. I’ll try it next time. But I have to get some food from Hikari to feed Slim Mac first.
Excellent. I’ve never seen the one in that video but I’ve seen lots of others. Was wondering what they were.
I finally did the first volleyball game… The shadows were much smaller than I expected but once I knew what to look for I did the game first time and the Famicom Soldiers now have a strong bond with me.
Do you know what to do with the Golf guy? How do you get him to play the golfing games with you? I picked up his trousers but haven’t figured out what to do with them. Does the solution have anything to do with the golf club in Devil’s ship?
Oh I had a first file where I granted 3 wishes and after I granted a wish an treasure box would appear in the yellow pipe’s beach with a record and a letter of some sort. I never knew what to do with it, I tried everywhere with no sucess
Do anybody know what to do with it?
Perhaps you can play the record on the Devil’s stereo?
“Do you know what to do with the Golf guy? How do you get him to play the golfing games with you? I picked up his trousers but haven’t figured out what to do with them. Does the solution have anything to do with the golf club in Devil’s ship?”
Whip out the trousers in front of Tao, and he’ll lead you to Devil’s house. Ask Devil to give you the golf club (which he stole from Ossan). Devil will ask you to destroy Lip’s Piranha Plant (that’s what they call them in Engish, right?) to show him how evil you are. Zap it with your yo-yo (or double yo-yo). Then you can go back to Devil’s place and get the golf club.
“after I granted a wish an treasure box would appear in the yellow pipe’s beach with a record and a letter of some sort. I never knew what to do with it, I tried everywhere with no sucess
Do anybody know what to do with it?”
Characters whose wishes have been granted, will leave presents for you on the golden pipe beach.
Drake gave me a record as a reward for playing hide and seek with him, but I have no idea where to play it either. And I think I’ve seen all places too…
I actually figured out most of the golf pants stuff myself. The bit with Tao was cool. Though I hadn’t worked out that you have to kill the piranha plant.
Also, I made a star for the 2nd time but it turned red and disappeared before I could use it to grant a wish. Am I right in thinking that there’s a time limit on those things?
Hikari said something about the Stars having a time limit but I never tried it out. What happened when the Star expired anyway? Did Nick die? If memory serves me correctly, Hikari said something about Nick dying.
Hey, Tom are you thinking about, mehbe releasing a walkthrough? O and can you post some translations on how to get bonds with characters? Like minigame tanslations. Like what you need to do to help the characters? I got my game and I speak and understand NO Japanese and need help. The game just looks so cool!
The star disappears and Nick falls to his knees, crying. The day then just carries on as normal but you lose all the sparklies you collected.
I’ve only seen Nick die twice. Once from running out of CR power and again when the oily black creatures stole the star and I was unable to take it back. You get two slightly different Game Over sequences for these… they’re both told in comic book form and show the death of Captain Rainbow.
Ha! I knew Mameruca is spelled with a “c”. I just came across it in the game. I’m about to box with Fit Mac and Nick’s info was introduced. He’s a 24 year old Mamerucan and weighs 107 pounds (or 12 Mimin :p ). Little Mac is 23 years old by the way.
Can anyone remind me where the yellow warp pipe is? I’ve been there once before but I can’t find it now. 😦
Damn, I should have known to look at the website.
Many thanks Tom. I’m of to play it now. It’s very late at night here but I don’t care. Too addicted!
I’m playing Captain Rainbow but I don’t know japanese.
I’ve granted Catherine and Mappo’s wishes but the other islanders aren’t my friends. How I can become their friend?
I’ve already finished the Takamaru’s Zamen, and a Minmin kill another Minmin (O_o) with Takamaru’s katana, I gave the golf club to Ossan, I’ve passed the three volleyballs trials, Little Mac became incredibly thin (and I can get he as item), I give to Lip her mask and winned the furniture and Tracy quiz. I don’t know where is Drake.
For the record, you can play they in the Rainbow Bus. You can get it at the starting beach. 😉
F*** I was hoping for my copy to arrive today, now I won’t get to play it if I get it for a week. 😦
@FeffITA
It sounds like you’ve got much further than me, so you can’t be doing too badly.
Not sure why you aren’t friends with the Famicom Soldiers yet though… I did all three volleyball trials and got a red circle for them straight away.
Maybe FeffITA didn’t do the trials to the end.
Btw, you need to visit Tracy to ask for the medicine* that cures Mimin (the Mimin that got its ear cut off). She’ll demand that Takamaru asks for the medicine himself. You’ll have to steal Tracy’s bra and put it on the scarecrow (show it to Takamaru first) for hugging practice (you push Takamaru onto the scarecrow to force him to hug it). You’ll have to follow Takamaru into the Mu realm (Zazen with him on the rock a day after you’ve completed the scarecrow hugging thing) and defeat (hug ❤ ❤ <3) Fantasy Tracy there too. It’s very trippy. Also, be fully alert when you see the roses, coz if you fail you’ll have to wait a day to retry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu
*it’s in the basement, the bottle that has the same color as the Mimin’s ears
>>30
Wrong link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(negative)
Just found Drake Redcrest. It’s cool that they kept the same ‘voice’ and mannerisms that he has in Chibi-Robo. Nice touch.
I can’t get him out of the sand though… I assume I have to locate the red bulb that lept from his ship when he crashed, am I right?
Yeah, the red Core. Just go through the yellow pipe and you’ll find it. (why does everything end up there anyway?) :p
Just found the caravan and it’s awesome.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, it’s a completely mobile base for Nick. It has a bed and a toilet. It has a vending machine that dispenses energy-renewing drinks and it has a jukebox that you can play your records on. Every time you add a vinyl to the jukebox it unlocks a note on your noticeboard from whoever gave you the record. From what I can work out, these notes fill you in on what each character has been up to since you sent them home. Mappo, for example, sends you a polaroid of himself dressed like a detective.
Best of all, you can put the caravan anywhere along the road that runs throughout the island but you can only move it by turning into Captain Rainbow and pushing it very slowly around the track.
Genius.
Man, I just read the hugest spoiler ever. Serves me right, for going to 2ch. 😦
Something pretty horrible happens in one of the 2 alternate endings. I’ll leave it at that.
Anyway, I haven’t played any Captain Rainbow today coz I’ll be splitting my game once more into 2 routes to get all the records and complete the Gallery. I needed a day off adventuring. :p
Also, I heard that Drake’s theme is in English. That’s odd.
The Trailer House sounds great, I’ll unlock it tomorrow.
Drake’s jpn theme;
I really need to play Chibi-Robo. 😮
How do you unlock the caravan? Do you have to grant a certain number of wishes or something? Oh and there’s more than 1 ending? (Now I’m glad that I didn’t delete my first file).
>>37
You get the Trailer by granting 2 wishes.
And there’s two endings. Good and Bad.
I’ve already had three different bad endings. Though I guess two of them were really just ‘Game Overs’. There still worth pursuing just to see em though.
Hey, can someone answer this?
When you beat the game with the “Thoughtful ending” are you allowed to continue to explore on the island?
This game should deserve as much credit as the amount of work the people who made it put into this game. Although, I wonder if there is any way that this can come to America. Screw those homophobic idiots, they can play their crummy games while I play some epic “Captain Rainbow”.
actually, the homophobic junk isn’t the issue. The new issue is Brido’s vibrator. Unlike the homophobic arguement, this is actually important
Important, how? Surely if it gets an age-appropriate rating then there’s no issue.
How I get the Drake’s red bulb from Devil?
It’s not like they’re actually showing anything. The vibrator (if that’s what it is) is already “censored”.
Tracy’s mannerisms, uber perky bust and innuendo filled lines are enough to warrant a Teen rating in the US, but that’s pretty much it.
I just don’t know why Nintendo is like that. People want to give Nintendo their money and they say no. No amount of Mother 3 petitions seems to faze them, Chibi-Robo DS was never released in Europe, GiFTPiA’s localisation was mysteriously halted…
Captain★Rainbow hardly received the exposure it deserved in Japan. They probably have never even entertained the idea of localising it.
>>44
Devil will ask you to get him a pie. Ask Hikari to make you one. She’ll leave it by your futon when you’re asleep. Get the pie, give it to Devil. He’ll ask you to get him someone to share the pie with. You should already know who that is…
Anyway, you could try it with others, but I chose Hikari. Don’t forget to speak to her at night. Maybe give her a rare seashell. ❤
I just got home from work a while back and this was in the mailbox. Awesome. I’ve only played about 2 hours…. found the belt, a little volleyball, that’s about it.
Regarding the double yo-yo technique, is that something I learn later or do I just suck and not know how to do it? The illustration in the instructions is confusing….
>>46
Go into the shrine and solve the “riddle”. You’ll get the Double Yo-Yo Panel, the first of 3 panels that fit into Nick’s belt.
Equip it.
Shake the nunchaku/Wii Remote with the Double Yo-Yo Panel equipped until Rainbow looks charged. Then aim.
T rating. Ninendo sucks. Well, it sort of has been confirmed for EU and AU release, so if i import that, with this one, I’ll get to understand it >.> LOL
Hmm…I’m stuck, I have “strong bonds” with everybody except Hikari, Lip and Devil (and Drake, but I didn’t meet him).
Talking with Hikari she says that it has something to do with Lip and Rainbow. Can somebody help? D:
>>48
It’s as confirmed as GiFTPiA was. 😦
>>49
Hikari: I don’t think you can get the red ◎ on her. She’s Nick’s love interest, she’s above that. I think.
Lip: Have you gotten the ointment for her allergy? Has she screwed up her house yet?
Devil: Read comment 45.
Drake (Gitchoman): Watch the stars at night.
“Talking with Hikari she says that it has something to do with Lip and Rainbow.”
No idea what you’re talking about.
Also, make sure to grab the Rainbow Panel from the huge “talking” Mimin in the cave between Ossan’s and Tracy’s houses. Find over 50 hidden Mimin (push A on the spots that squeak around the island) and the big Mimin will give it to you. Don’t get your Mimin counted if they’re below 50 or he’ll just upgrade your Taurine* (Mimin Flavor). Check the drawing near Lip’s mirror and you’ll figure out what the Rainbow Panel is good for. But I think you have to fix her allergy first.
*that energy drink that gives you infinite C★R energy for a while
Yes I already got Lip’s remedy so I’ll just star to hunt down those hidden mimin 😛
And about Drake, do you have to watch the stars from some specific place? Like the Hidden Beach or the Famicom Soldiers binocular? And it has to be at a specific time?
Ah nevermind it, I found out. You have to talk with the Famicom Soldier looking at binocular two times (not in the same night)
Use the binoculars, at night. I don’t know if you have to do something else beforehand to trigger the Drake event.
If you get nothing, try some other time.
Lol, seconds too late.
Stuck again ._.
Now it’s at Drake’s Hide and Seek, I can’t find him! The last time I found him he was next to Hikari’s house (on top of…that thing…ugh…I don’t know how to call it)
He could be hiding in one of the haniwa near Devil’s house or in a haniwa in Tracy’s basement or in Ossan’s fridge…he could even be on the yellow pipe beach. You could ask his ship’s AI for a hint. But that won’t do you much good I guess.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haniwa
How’s everyone doing with the second volleyball challenge? The one where you have to jump and spike it? My record is 3, and even that was mostly luck. HATE! 😡
It wasn’t too easy but I think I got 8. I jumped with the nunchaku and spiked with the Wii Remote, maybe that helped me get the timing down better than using the optional buttons.
Birdo and I had a “strong bond”, but now we don’t. What gives?
Never mind, I gave him/her that rice ball Hikari gave me earlier and now we’re pals again.
リトルマックの練習場までの道の岩をダブルヨーヨーで壊し、リトルマックの練習場奥の緑のマンゴーをヨーヨーで落とす。
リトルマックが練習する気になるので、話しかけて練習を手伝う。ダンベルを降ろしているときに腹辺りをポイントして話すといい。
練習は、出てくるグローブに合わせてヌンチャクとWiiリモコンを振る。
事前に白い玉でタイミングを教えてくれる。
Ah shit, wrong window. You can delete that if you like, Ash.
I was just trying to babel fish some info on Little Mac.
I’ll leave it in. It might help me gets some hits from Japanese users. 😉
Help, plz. I’ve talked to Birdo, Hikari, Mappo, and. Famicom Soldiers. I have no idea what to do to get across barriers like to Little Mac and Takamaru and I don’t know how to get nick’s belt back. May someone please help me here?
Sure. I’m not all that much further than you are.
To get the belt back, find a door on the Eastern side of the island (just up from the pipe leading to Birdo’s house from memory).
You’re at the right door if there’s a little space in the bottom where a mimin is poking it’s head out. You’ll notice a picture of the morning sun on the door, in orange… if you’re here early in the morning it’ll be lit up. Click on it at this time and you can open the door. Inside is the belt.
Go back to Hikari’s house and, as Captain Rainbow, open the door to the shrine in the back of her house. The first belt upgrade is in there, the double yo-yo. I couldn’t figure out how to do it at first. To quote Tom, from above:
Shake the nunchaku/Wii Remote with the Double Yo-Yo Panel equipped until Rainbow looks charged. Then aim.
Use this on any big cracked rocks, the slime on Mappo’s battery charger/birdo’s pipe, etc.
Thanks a lot man
Hmm, One last problem for a while, probably. How do you change the long Rainbow transition to the short one?
SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST!
Hmmm. Facepalm. i apologize. I never knew that the long transition was ^ and the short one was v.
I can’t find Drake… he’s the last one.
And, how do you get the egg off of the electric wind generator? It shut down Mappo and I’m losing my bond with him.
Find Drake by using the look-out tower at night.
Not sure what you mean by egg on the generator. Haven’t seen that before.
Egg? 😮
Do take pictures and show it to us. Please?
(darn, did I miss a sub-event? >_<)
I can’t take pics. >.< It’s on the windmill
NVM I just had to hit it enough times with yo-yo. I revived Mappo 🙂
O and click yes when the egg falls. Rainbow saves it, then gives it to the bird, then they leave.
hey, guys, I haz another question. Can you get the stars back from Shadows?
And, what do I do to throw stars away? I go to the trashcan and click the first option, but nothing happens. I click the second option, nothing happens. O and what do you do in the battle scene when fighting Shadows?
Get the star back by rushing the black creature. You’ll then go to a mini-game fight. To win is quite simple, just press A when the rabbit-thing hits the gong.
As for the trashcan, I’m not sure what you’re doing wrong as it always works for me. Perhaps someone else can help.
oh lol I thought you had to button mash A, so I failed lololol thanks. And about Drake, I go to the lookout tower. the Soldier occupying it lets me use it, but I can’t find Drake.
I got the trash can going. I wanted to use it, cuz I had 19 kirarin and was afraid of getting a star if I helped someone. So I collected, so i could throw out the star for an empty kirarin inventory 😉
do i click the top option or the bottom one to send the island resident away?
Click the one that isn’t ニック or レインボー.
Could someone read this QR code* for me? http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r277/makoto2305/fuckingQRcodeihatefuckingQRcodesFUC.jpg
Is it a URL or something? :@ **
*I have no QR code enabled phone or a webcam.
**It’s Captain★Rainbow related…
how do you read that?
Wow, I am so lost in this game. Is there a walkthrough anywhere? I sent Famicom Soldiers away. I don’t know what to do with Tracy’s bra and Ossan’s pants. Devil seems upset. Mappo is my only friend. Birdo “left” me. I have no idea what to do with Drake sitting in the sand. Little Mac won’t talk to meh. Takumaru’s zazen is confusing. and Lip freaks out when i kill a pirahna plant. I am so lost.
Most of your questions have been asked and answered before. >__>;
Birdo needs food or seashells before she accepts to become your girlfriend (…) again. You probably upset her by messing up the “spot the differences” game. The correct present depends on her mood.
Yeah. Thats what I though. But, what does the 2nd belt plate do? and how do you do it? I found a belt plate in teh cave next to Takumaru’s ”house”
Yes. I had no F*****g idea what I was doing and clicked her feet lol.
Rainbow gets 3 panels.
The Double Yo-Yo Panel
(shake nunchaku/Wii Remote till charged, then aim and smash stuff with A)
The Quake Panel
(shake nunchaku/Wii Remote till charged and you’ll cause a small earthquake)
The Rainbow Panel
(shake nunchaku/Wii Remote till charged and…you’ll see)
Who shares the fod with Devil?
food*
To bond with the Famicom Soldiers, do I need to beat all 4 volleyball mini-games on every level? If that’s the case, I fear it might never happen. The second one still has me at a loss.
Nope. Just beat each one once.
Really? I only beat 3 volleyball games and I sent them to the skies.
Well, I showed Tao Ossan’s shorts and it like, killed him. How am I supposed to get that golf club?
That’s odd. There was a bone involved too, I think. You’re supposed to take it from Ossan and give it to Tao at some point. That’s all I remember.
How/where do island areas squeak for 50 mimin?
Yeah, I did something bone related. Well, Ossan got his club 🙂
How in the world do you give the bra to takumaru? I show it to him. He tells me to put it away. I can’t put it on the scarecrow.
How does one get the third belt plate?
I don’t understand!!! Everytime I get to d-pad up in zazen, it fails me! I am holding all the buttons down! What am I doiung wrong?
You’re probably loosening your grip without realising it. Squeeze hard.
@95 – You put the bra on Takemaru’s training dummy. Or so I’ve heard..
😦 I go up to the training thing, then select the bra, but Rainbow just goes “?”
XD I completed Tracy’s quiz and Tracy shook her boobs while nick’s first person view camera was locked onto them XD
O_O Do you need to pass Zazen first before you can dress the scarecrow? That may be my problem.
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
http://fryguy64.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=modern&action=display&thread=2908&page=34#64759
Please tell me if I did this right. I pressed and held all of the buttons in Zazen, then nick went into some acid trip. I shook the wii-remote everytime it showed a house. Did I do something wrong?
please
“I shook the wii-remote everytime it showed a house.”
A what?
I don’t remember any houses. Where are you?
How the f*** do you put the bra on the scarecrow, and how do you get the red bulb form the devil??!?!?111!!one!11eleven!!exclamation point!!11???Question mark.
No need to be rude. If nobody responds to your questions then it’s a fair bet that they just don’t know the answer?
“How the f*** do you put the bra on the scarecrow”
Have you completed any of the Zazen events?
Has the Mimin been injured?
“and how do you get the red bulb form the devil?”
Already answered.
O I’m not being rude, just silly lol. It’s ok. i saw a video on youtube that incorporates the “one!!11eleven” thing and thought it was funny. I apologize if my post went the wrong way.
There is more than one zazen event? i completed the first one, but I’m not sure if I did the right thing at the end. I shook the wii-remote everytime a building appeared. but, Takumaru, doesn’t do another one with meh. Which may mean I did it right.
About devil, I have this burger thing hikari made me, but I don’t know who devil likes to share it with. THAT hasn’t been answered.
By house, I mean. After the Zazen, it shows Tracy’s manor, Ossan’s house…etc…
Oh yeah, that thing. Hm, I don’t remember what you do there.
Swing the remote or press something? Nothing too complicated anyway.
Hey, can i do anything with Takumaru’s katana while he’s fighting a stick?
nevermind
The Mimin is holding a sword O_o. He killed the Mimin! Crying face
How do I train with Little Mac? He gets up in the morning, waddles over and starts lifting weights, then stops at night and goes back to sleep. What do I need to here?
Umm, I think you need to feed him something and you get two tries everytime you feed him 1 thing.
Feed him what, though? I haven’t come across any food…
Also, how do I get Drake’s ship core? I know where it is, I jusrt can’t reach it.
Yeah, grab some food from Hikari (you have to sleep at the jinja if you want food btw) and give it to him.
Also try ramming him when he’s lifting weights to make him stop, then give him food/talk to him.
ask Hikari to make you a burger thing, then take a nap. Food will be next to you when you wake up.
As for Drake, I just went to the island a few times and Devil eventually appeared on like my 4th visit and took the bulb.
Well, a mimin killed another mimin, then I went to Tracy, she gave me a letter. I gave the letter to Takumaru. He said something that I’m clueless about, then went to sit on his rock.
The bra still won’t go on the scarecrow.
f*cking finally! I got the bra on the scarecrow. Nick went into some acid trip dialogue between and imaginary Takumaru and Tracy. Takumaru shot blood out of his (mouth ?) then I showed him the bra and he put it on the scarecrow himself!
Wow, the Zazen pzrt when Takumaru hugs an imaginary Tracy while she kisses him while going through a fantasy type environment is probably the trippiest part of this game lol.
help, when takumaru walks up the perfume steps he just dies!
Hoe do I make him get to Tracy?
You have to give Takamaru a nudge (ram him!), when he’s about to collapse. He makes a very specific SOUND when the time is right. Ram him any other time, and you’ll make him faint instead.
sometimes, he falls on his knees other times, when I do nothing, he falls on his back. I… I don’t understand.
aww jeez. Which potion do i take?
The one that’s the same color as the Mimim’s ears.
yellow? K
so far, I’ve used blue, purple, red, and orange
The Mimin’s ears are yellow, so…get the yellow bottle and give it to Takamaru-chan.
Ok, question:
Does anyone have the music for this game? I really want to hear it.
yeah I did. Thanks a lot.
I’ve been to see Devil and chatted with him about Drake’s ship core, and I’ve read that I have to get Hikari to make him a pie. I’m not sure how to do this, though.
Immediately after talking with Devil I went and talked to her and she’s given me some sort of book (?)… at least that’s what it looks like. What do I do with this? Talking to her before I go to bed doesn’t seem to be working.
That’s Hikari’s Recipe Book. Show it to her.
There should be 2 or 3 options.
おにぎり Onigiri
ハンバーガー “Burger” (…)
パイ Pie
Choose パイ and go to bed.
Brilliant, thanks. I think I showed her everything but pie >_<
Aww man, that’s what I’ve been doing wrong. I was giving him the burger lol.
I just finished the game. I saw the sad ending too.
Don’t press A (you’ll know what I mean) if you want to see the sad ending. Press A to see the happy ending. After the happy ending the game lets you save. Save and you’ll get an unplayable file that lets you watch the staff credits whenever you want.
It was a fun game.
Cool 🙂 Are you going to play Moon next?
I’m friends with everyone but Lip now, so I’m going to have to start granting wishes pretty soon. I don’t want to miss any sub-events if I can help it… Tom, could you tell me which characters have related side-quests? I’ve done the one where Ossan gets arrested so far. I noticed on the Nintendo Database site you mentioned a couple with Devil. Did you discover any more?
Also, regarding “Fishing Power”… you get that when you open on of Hikari’s boxes and there’s a mimin inside, is that correct? I just got it so I might go after Pukupuku and Gesso next time I play. Many thanks.
I haven’t noticed anyone other than Birdo, Ossan and Devil getting arrested. But I’ve seen lots of stuff in jail. Including Tracy’s bra. :p
Fish Power is when fish spirits come out of the box. I think you need the power to catch Cheep Cheep (southern fishing spot).
I caught the Blooper without Fish Power, but I think you have to get rid of 8 people before you can catch it. Same place as the Cheep Cheep. You don’t really get anything for completing the Book though.
I’ll try to get Moon soon, maybe play it in November. 🙂
Ah, I thought I remembered you saying you had ordered Moon from somewhere.
Did you figure out the Birdo perfume sub-quest? Under what citcumstances does that happen, do you know? Fish spirits, huh? I only had that happen to me once so far, I think.
I’m not sure what triggers the perfume quest, Birdo was just standing in front of her house and she looked troubled.
Try to avoid this quest. >_>
Tracy asks several questions regarding Birdo’s residence to decide what is the proper aroma for her. It’s hard even if you speak Japanese. After you’ve answered the questions, Tracy tells you in which order to mix the ingredients. You do that in the basement.
If you get the order wrong, you get no perfume.
Crap, I’ve got no chance:P
Thanks, man.
I’m having a little trouble with Lip just now.
Crazy stuff was going on at her house, and now she’s sitting out in the yeard doing nothing.
I figure at this point I need medicine for her hayfever, which is none of the stuff on the shelf at Tracy’s. Is it in the chest? If so, how do I get it?
Thanks.
You have to get the red ◎ on Tracy and Takamaru first.
Then talk to Lip to start her event.
I have, Lip is the only one I don’t have a red ◎ on… I’ve been to her house, stuff happened, I don’t know what to do next.
I tried to cheat and sneak a peek at nico… there’s a scene where the piranha plant is wearing a bow and the house has eyes on it? How do I trigger that? Again, thanks.
Oh crap, I think I know where you are. The furniture (…) has stolen Lip’s ribbon and you have to figure out which one has the ribbon based on the clues they give you.
In my case, the correct answer was タンス, so maybe you should just choose that?
If it’s not that, you’re on your own. 😦
Ah, Cheers.
I made out that the blue highlighted word Lip was talking about was “ribbon-something”, but I was all “WHAT RIBBON!?” >_<
It’s also worth mentioning, I suppose, that even if you get the answer wrong you can just keep trying until you get it right without having to wait a day or any of that. Phew!
If I can be bothered I might compile all this info into some sort of basic walkthrough for the non-Japanese speaking player, all credit to you guys where it’s due. Unless someone else had designs on writing something?
Alright, I’m restarting my file. Thanks, for the help guys, but I sent 4 people away and the island is boring, plus I’m gonna miss quite a few events I didn’t know about at the time.
Like the Ossan and Mappo event. I can’t go not playing that one and must go do it again. Plus, I only played ONE golf game! It was so fun, and I’m so stupid of getting rid of Ossan.
C☆R Credits;
Yeah I watched that a few minutes ago. 23Makoto23 is my friend and sent it to me. It was pretty neat.
Does anyone love the golf game as much as me? It’s so fun and addicting. I’m never sending Ossan away 😉
I really like it too.
I’m just about finished I guess…. have sent 6 people away. Does that silver skull on Devil’s shelf do anything, does anyone know?
It doesn’t do anything, I hope. :p
Well, Devil threw a pie at Hikari’s face, then became my friend. How do I get that bulb now?
Never mind lol I jst need to grab it from it’s location.
Question. How do I get Slimm Mac food from hikari of she’s crying from the last Devil-related event?
Give her that shiny rare seashell. I’m not telling you how to get it. >__>
k thanks ;). Don’t know why you won’t tell me. But, its no big deal, I’ll find it.
well, now I have a burger, but little Mac is out of the map >_<
So, I used my the text file that I made of japanese characters how typing certain symbols would equal a japanese character.
i.e. n=ん Putting the cursor over little mac would say
リトルマック 矢そう中・・・
To my knowledge this says
Little Mac arrow aspect inside ・・・
INSIDE WHAT?
矢そう中 = missing
00:59
XD WTF? I got Little Mac as an item.
Wow. Thanks.
I use this site to translate stuff.
I wonder what I’ve done wrong.
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/
What’s the point of being able to unlock Tracy’s door just to able to walk in then get kicked out?
Anyone know what Lip’s roulette does?
It changes Nick’s…nick.
Nick-oniitan, Nick-ojisan, Darling etc
So I run around the island 25 times worried I didn’t find enough hidden Mimin.
Then the meter reads 162 Mimin found. I get what?
A silly little rainbow picture with a pose? Thanks, Skip.
??? I got fishing power out of the box in Hikari’s house. Does that help me get Drake out of the pond? I can’t get him out.
Drake’s Gallery;
Captain★Rainbow has the English version of the theme only.
>171
You fish him out like you would any fish. Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.
Can you plx explain the third belt plate?
and about the Drake thing. I never really understood how to fish. Can you please explain?
You can use the Rainbow Panel to get Sparklies at some places such as the Mimin Tomb.
Fishing;
Sit down. Hold the Wii Remote like you would a fishing rod. Tilt it back and hold it there when the lure is fully submerged.
umm, Mimin tomb?
O and Thanks about the fishig, I got Drake out
What is the Mimin Tomb? The one with the huge mimin? The one where you put the stone slabs you find?
OK, so I’ve finished the game woth both good and bad endings… I must say, the bad one is pretty depressing.
What I’m doing now is going back and completing sidequests and getting records on an old file, and I was figuring I’d complete the book. I have a theory about Cheep Cheep and Blooper, namely that you’ll be unable to catch them until you have EVERYTHING ELSE in the book. I had 8 people gone from my town and fishing power and sat there for about an hour with no luck – for anyone who’s caught them both, how long did it take you? I’m supposed to be fishing at the beach, right?
With completing the book in mind, could anyone help me locate a certain creature? I think it’s a bug of some kind.
It appears on the first page of the book, second from the top on the left – ヨツメツヤクワガタ
Babelfish tells me it’s “around the left of the fishing spot to the top” but I’m not seeing anything. If anyone knows what/where this creature is, please let me know ❤
As an aside, Tom, you mentioned seeing Tracy’s bra, Ossan’s pants and Birdo’s mirror in jail – did you see the snake too?
I saw no snake. I’ve seen a seashell though. ._.
I was fishing several minutes to get Cheep Cheep. Blooper took me several seconds. I had everything else already, they were my last ones.
ヨツメツヤクワガタ is very small and is very very easy to miss. It’s on one of the trees to the left of the northern fishing spot, look hard and you’ll see it. I think it’s completely still too, making it even harder to notice.
What is the Mimin tomb??!?
I missed that bug every time. Never had the faintest idea it was there >_<
Thanks! 🙂
As soon as I caught that bug I went fishing and caught Blooper, then Cheep Cheep on my first 2 casts.
Hey where is the northern fishing spot? the tree stump?
That’s the one. Near Ossan’s house.
ahh thanks
For all Italian players, I’ve written an Italian FAQs. 😉

Hi folks, not sure if this was the right place to post this, but has anyone heard if Captain Rainbow stands any chance of being released in Europe?
I’m hoping someone such as Rising Star picks it up. They’ve been doing a great job releasing Japanese games over here.
Nintendo currently has no plans to translate the game and I can’t see them changing their minds any time soon. Nintendo Europe only seems to be able to handle two markets (so called non-gamers and mainstream gamers) these days, so they wouldn’t know what to do with Captain Rainbow.
As you suggest, the game is much more like the sort of thing that Rising Star specialises in but, again, I can’t see it happening. I can’t think of many occasions when a Nintendo property has been published by someone else in the post-NES days, with the single exception of Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, which was a special case.
Just nearly finished writing a walkthrough for this if anyones interested, i’ll be releasing it next week when i have added the final touches.
It wont cover every single side quest but it will cover enough to get bonds with everyone & get the good ending ect.
i’ll post the link here when done, hopefully it will be of use to a few of you.
Thanks Importaku!
I downloaded your link off gamefaqs!
I now know what I’m doing.
