Uh oh! The scene does not follow the previous events. Skun-ka'pe took all the toys and has learned the future using the Future Vision. He is ready for what Sam and Max will do.

To taunt, Skun-ka'pe gives the Future Vision back to Max. Skun-ka'pe sends the Freelance Police to Penal Zone instead since Sam has the homing beacon.

Sam and Max are in the Penal Zone, a place between reality and unreality. Max hears a ticking sound. Skun-ka'pe has attached an anti-matter bomb on the back of Max. Max shakes the bomb off.

The rift generator can make a new penal zone-dimension that can imprison Skun-ka'pe now that the Penal Zone is destroyed by the bomb.

The new dimension can be made in a nexus where the ley lines meet - where reality and nonsense exist, like Sam and Max' old building. The rift generator needs a lot of power.

Pick up the rift generator from the table.

Attach the homing beacon on Skun-ka'pe:

Teleport to Stinky's cell. While Skun-ka'pe is glorying on his taking care of Sam and Max, the duo sneaks to the upper level.

Go back down to lower level and use the homing beacon on Skun-ka'pe. With the help of a distraction caused by the alien brain which eventually caused his demise, the homing beacon is placed on Skun-ka'pe's back.

Get under Sam and Max' building:

Teleport to Sybil's phone that is in the carton boxes besides the office building. Look at gaping hole - crack on the ground beside the boxes.

Move to the street a bit and Skun-ka'pe fires at Sam using his disintegrator eyes. Stand by the crack or carton boxes and the beam will make a hole on the ground that eventually drops the carton boxes to the subway.

Teleport again to Sybil's phone and they will be in the subway just in front of the mysterious tunnel.

The Boxist:

Enter the mysterious tunnel and meet the remaining members of the Boxists. It seems that the arrival of Sam and Max are in their prophecy written in tablets.

Power up the rift generator:

Go to the left of the mysterious box and take the cable. Plug the cable on to the side of the toy box-mysterious box.

Go to the left side of the boiler and plug the rift generator on the outlet. Turn on the rift generator.

Skun-ka'pe:

Skun-ka'pe is sucked down here by the homing beacon. And again he holds on to a metal to stop from going to the new rift-dimension. On the other hand, he's holding the cards of foretelling and the rhinoplasty of shapeshifting.

He recognizes the Devil's Toy box, the most powerful of the toys. He wants it as well as the only creature that can control the box - Max.

Use the boiler control again to make the mole men sweat.

Then use the paddle ball toy on Skun-ka'pe. Believing Sam that it is a powerful toy, Skun-ka'pe tries to take the paddle ball from Sam. He slips on the mole men's sweat and get sucked into the newly formed rift.

The narrator takes over.

Gift Vault:    Remember how Sal got his medal. He exposed a heretic who was slow in giving homage to Sammun-Mak.

While here, look at the newspaper box at left. Read the newspaper.

Change to Max and use Rhinoplasty on the picture of the storm cloud on the newspaper.

Change to Sam.

Straight & Narrow:    Drive back to Straight & Narrow. Go to right side of screen.

Talk to Grandpa Stinky completely. Grandpa and Girl Stinky responded correctly to the salute and kneel chant. See that Grandpa has the Medallion of Superlative Tithing on his hat. Sammun-Mak changed the weather for Grandpa Stinky. When the low pressure systems roll in, Grandpa Stinky's knees seize up like burnt tapioca.

Talk to Girl Stinky.

Change to Max. Use the Rhinoplasty and become a thundercloud-low pressure system.

Talk to Grandpa Stinky again. Select 'kneel' and Grandpa Stinky's knee seizes up. It caused him to hesitate in kneeling. Blasphemer! Flint Paper arrests Grandpa Stinky for being a heretic.

The Vizier Papierwaite talks through the auto-idol and presents Sam with the Ornament of Fealty. The worshiper medallion is attached on Sam's coat.

The mysterious voice of Doctor Norrington says that the rebels are in place. Max needs just one more Accessories of Privilege.

Pendant of Inquisition:

Remember that Frankie the Rat has a Pendant of Inquisition after performing a service that even Max won't do. Frankie would not bet the pendant.

Straight & Narrow:    Look at the credit card sign left of the door to Stinky's - Meesta credit card.

Change to Max. Deactivate low pressure Rhinoplasty. Change to Max again. Use Rhinoplasty on the credit card sign. Change to Sam.

Museum:    Go to museum.

Change to Max. Activate the Rhinoplasty and Max changes to a Meesta credit card.

Go to the corn dog pyramid again. Max-Meesta credit card gets going and destroys the corn dog pyramid again.

Sammun-Mak decrees that all credit cards are to be ripped to shred.

Frankie the Rat:    Go to Frankie.

Change to Max. Use the future vision on the rats.

There is variation in the dialogue seen in the vision. Deduce what move General Skun-ka'pe will use based on the dialogue.

In my game:    The rats say: That the general used his hands. He did not use any of the Simian moves. He also did not use the Girly Slap.

Change back to Sam. Talk to the rat and place a bet on the game.

Since no Simian moves were used - that remove Simian Scissor Kick and Simian Sucker Punch.

Since hands were used - that remove the Gorilla Thigh Squeeze and Great Ape Leg Sweep.

Gorilla Girly Slap was not used.

That left Space Age Kidney Punch as the finishing move General Skun-ka'pe used in the fight.

Bet on Space Age Kidney Punch.

Frankie needs to get cash and takes his credit card out. The other 2 rats cut the credit card to pieces. Frankie was forced to bet his Pendant of Inquisition.

Listen to the radio announcer. Skun-ka'pe used the Space Age Kidney Punch. Sam wins the Pendant of Inquisition. The medal with the etched Max/Sammun-Mak is now on Sam's tie.

Inner Circle of Sammun-Mak:

Museum:    Go to the museum.

See that Mole Grandma is in the arena with Skun-ka'pe. She is holding her own.

Go right and enter the inner circle area. Papierwaite is disgusted.

Give the brain screw to Sammun-Mak. Grandma Mole flips and takes the brain screw to use it on Sammun-Mak. Sam stops the brain surgery.

Sammun-Mak orders Sam to kill Grandma Mole. Sam can not do it. Sam is sent to the Pit of Contrition to face Skun-ka'pe and Grandma Mole escapes.

Act 4

No saving is possible in this Act.

Fight Skun-ka'pe:

Max:    Select Max to ask for help.

As Max, use future viewer on Skun-ka'pe. See Sam win and says: Who knew that Skunkape was so sensitive about getting dumped by Papierwaite?

Age taunt:    Select taunt and then age taunt.

This angers Skunkape that he hits the projector and the constellation lights up overhead. Sammun-Mak is distracted.

Mole taunt:    Immediately taunt and use the mole taunt.

Skunkape insults the moles. The mole prisoners raise their hands through the grate. If Sammun-Mak is not distracted, he will zap the moles.

Dumped taunt:    Select taunt and then getting dumped taunt.

Skunkape insults Papierwaite. Papierwaite throws a fireball that blinds him.

Attack:    While Skunkape is blinded; attack.

Skunkape moves back and steps on the grate with the mole hands still through the grate. (If not, start over with the age taunt to distract Sammun-Mak.)

If the mole hands are up they hold on Skunkape and he falls down.

Finish him:    Sam beats Skunkape.

Fight Sammun-Mak:

Sammun-Mak takes over and goes down the pit. He takes away the psychic toys from Max.

Select Max.

Tell Sam to kneel. Max recites the kneel chant.

While Sam is kneeling, tell Sam to salute. Max recites the salute chant.

If the timing is right, Sam salutes Sammun-Mak with the brain screw in hand.

Ancient Egyptian surgery is done. The world shakes. This reality goes back inside the Toy Box.

Sam returns Max to his body and set him on top of the Toy Box.

 

Sam is coming!

Sam is coming!

Sam is coming!

Walkthrough by Dean Waxman & MaGtRo

In Manhattan, giant beast Max transformed by power from the Dark Dimension released spores of flaming Max heads that feed on psychic energies of the city's nightmares.

Act 1

Gather a team to save Max:

See Sal the cockroach at the back wall. Try to talk to Sal who's hanging around Bosco Tech. Sal runs away.

1 ton cornmeal:

Look inside Grandpa Stinky's truck. Try to take boxes of cornmeal. Sam can't carry it.

To get Giant Max to take something:

Stand by the item you want picked up. Take a corndog and wave it.

Giant Max will pick up what is the closest thing around Sam.

Walk to the ridiculously sized pothole and eat the corndog.

Giant Max will drop the item he is carrying into the water.

Use the corndog and Sam calls the others to come and get ready to enter Max.

The intro to the game is seen while a maimtron take the giant corndog-bomb. Giant Max picks it up and drops it in his mouth.

 

Act 2

Get to Giant Max' brain:

Giant Max' stomach:    The team is dropped in Max' stomach. Look around.

Check the corndog in the platter; it is what Max is craving at the moment. Check the refrigerator where he stores food eaten. Check the food processor where Max digests his food.

Try to enter the tube that goes to the brain at back wall. It doesn't work. Max must be in a food coma.

Use the espresso beans on the food processor. Enter the tube now that green bubbles are formed.

Max' brain:

Sybil finds a tumor in Max' brain. Use the tumor and Sam gets electrocuted.

Sam needs to find the medulla oblongata-circuit breaker of the brain so that Dr. Norrington and Sybil can operate on Max' brain.

Look around Max' brain. Check the record shelf where Max' stores his ideas.

See a tube that goes to the legs and another one that goes to the arm.

The duct by the wall is blocked by tentacles from the dark dimension. Check the couch, TV and radio.

Try to open the door by Papierwaite. The team disappears.

Sam is transported to the stomach. Papierwaite is in a game room. Sybil has an idea that if they put enough electrical charge on Max' body, they can temporarily short out his powers and they can get to the brain and operate. Momma Bosco says that they can only get enough power at the electrical plant at Battery Park.

Get control of Max' legs:

They need to get control of Max' body.

Use the tube to go back to the brain. Go left and enter the tube with a leg icon on top.

Exercise room:    See that Sybil is in the exercise room. Sybil states that she did some rewiring and can now control Max' legs by using the treadmill.

Look around the room at what Max uses to exercise. 

Talk to Sybil. Max' powers broadcast Sam's thoughts. Men do not understand what Sybil is going through. Max' powers attempt to break up the cooperation between the team.

Inventory room:    Use the tube with a box icon.

See that this is the storage room of Max. Check everything in the room.

See that there is Sam's old cockroach farm on top of the shelving at left. There's an egg and it hatched to a golden cockroach. Papa!

Touch the chocolate bar at left and Sam gets electrified.

Touch the baby balloons and Sam changes into a cactus.

Use the spare video cable on the floor at right side of room and Sam changes into a Roomba vacuum cleaner.

As the vacuum cleaner, hit the shelving with the cockroach several times until it falls on the floor.

Run over the cockroach to suck it up. Pappy!

Click-use the tube to go to the exercise room and Sam automatically changes back.

At the exercise room, show the golden cockroach to Sybil. Sybil gets enervated seeing Sam's feelings about parenthood. Sybil runs on the treadmill. A Giant Max icon is at top right now.

Get control of Max' arms:

Use the tube to go to the brain. Use the tube at right that has the arm icon.

It's the game room. Talk to Papierwaite. He found a way to control Max' arms by stepping on the icons on the floor.

They need to do a manual override first. The impulses go through the arcade machine at left. He needs Sam to read the commands off of the blue arcade machine at left.

Click on blue Axon arcade machine. Select a correct description of what is shown on the machine and Sam's answer is the opposite. Max' powers change his vocalized answer. Papierwaite follows the wrong instructions.

For the next instruction, select an opposite description dialogue: Right hand gun - left foot flail. Right foot bomb - left hand bacon. Left hand brass knuckles - right foot flail.

They need 3 correct instructions to override.

When you get 3 correct answers, a new dialogue appears. Select one and Max' powers replace the vocalized instruction causing a robot to crash and expose its radioactive core.

Find someone that can resist radioactivity:

Sam looses consciousness and is awakened by Papierwaite. The game room is now off limits to Sam. Papierwaite goes back to the game room.

Sam has to find someone that can resist radioactivity. Sam's baby cockroach responds that it can.

Use the tube to go to the stomach. Go to the vent and the 'now craving' sign.

Use the cockroach on the platter to replace the corndog. Now Giant Max wants a cockroach and the head spores need to get one.

Use the Giant Max icon at top right of screen. Momma Bosco asks if you want to stay here or control Max. Select to control Max.

As Giant Max, it turns around to go back to the city. Walk forward towards the beam of lights as until a cutscene of Sal and Stinky is seen.

Sal is having regrets for what he and Stinky have been doing. Here comes Giant Max and he scoops Sal. Stinky falls and is scooped up by General Skun-ka'pe on his space ship that looks like his head.

Change to Sam. Tell Momma Bosco to go home.

Go down to the stomach and see Sal. Talk to Sal and he will go to the radioactive game room and give the instructions to Papierwaite.

Sal did it but sacrificed himself.

Get power to overload Max:

Take control of Giant Max again by clicking on his icon at top right. Go to Battery Park. Hahahaha. That was a very nice Max twirl.

Go forward on that street until the park at bottom right.

Click on the Nev-R-Die batteries. See Giant Max get electrocuted.

Meet Superego:   

Enter through the door left of the tumor.

Meet the traitor - Superego. Talk to him completely. He doesn't like a creature that is driven by pure Id. He plans to destroy Max by making a psychic explosion of the northeast US.

Most of Max' powers were destroyed except for the astral projector.

Brain surgery:   

Go left of the desk and open the cabinet on the wall. Use the circuit breaker.

Exit through door and talk to Sybil and Papierwaite. Max' brain is infected with dark matter.

Sam needs the toy robot - Tron.

Make Max memories:

Go back through the door to the Astral Projector. Click on the memory book. There's only one memory. The Narrator explains that you can only project to another body - like a clone.

Control Max. As Giant Max, walk around the city and click on all the "remember" active sites.

Since Giant Max is already at Battery Park; move the cursor until you see an active "remember Battery Park". Click to get Battery Park memory. Giant Max will automatically go there.

Turn around from the batteries and go down that street. Move the cursor until an active spot is seen. Remember Federated Consolidated Building.

Go back towards the city and to the beam of lights. Remember Bosco Tech Labs.

From the Bosco Tech labs, go to a main street going to the right. Somewhere 3-4 blocks later; remember Hairy Arms Apartments. Max goes to that place.

Find Skun-ka'pe:    Click on Skunkape's space ship. It is the one that has pink lines and looks like his head.

Click on Giant Max' icon at top right and go home.

Act 3

Get on Skunkape's ship:   

Go to the Astral Projector. Click on the memory book and see 5 slides made by the trip around the city.

Select Skunkape's Flagship slide; then Astral project.

T-16-K9:    Sam is now in a body of a clone in one of the cells in Skunkape's ship. There is no one around.

Look around the cell. Check the backdrop and click on it to see wires on the right. The wires do nothing and they lead to other cells.

The clone on the right with the water bottle and cabinet on wall is SP-42-X.  The one on the left with the keys and hamster wheel is HW-021-S. The middle clone is T-16-K9.

SP-42-X:    Astral project and select SP-42-X, the one on the right.

Use the fuse box and see the delicate wirings of Skunkape's ship.

Drink from the water bottle. Spit on fuse box. That shorts the wires.

Astral project to the clone at left - HW-021-S.

Use the hamster wheel to stabilize the ship. Automatically, Sam goes to the middle clone.
