Introduction

 

This game is pretty straight forward and most people will not have trouble figuring it out. There is no difficulty settings to worry about and you can always replay everything after you have completed it if need be. There is a variety of mixed gameplay but it isn't like any of the other Madagascar games. This one doesn't have any real plot, you just walk around a city collecting things and doing mini games before finally doing more mini games in the circus. You do this in multiple cities, so the game can get quite boring. Most of this boring comes from the extreme amount of collectibles they decided to make you get.

 

Step 1: Story Mode

 

Just play through the game normally trying to do your best on the mini games you are forced into. You can choose to grab some collectibles, but after you beat the city you may go back in free roam and you will be able to switch to all 4 characters instead of just the 2 which should save you time.

 

Step 2: Mission Replay/Circus Replay for 5 Stars

 

Go back to the main interactive menu where you control the lion and you can replay the events and circus acts (once you completed them once). It will show you how many stars you have, so just keep replaying what you need to replay to earn them all. These scores are based on your personal score, not your team score. Do not worry about your team mate at all.

Step 3: Finish Collectibles

 

Time to spend your valuable time collecting things in an already boring game. Luckily most of them are extremely easy to spot so you really don't any kind of guide. You can choose free roam in each city to collect them (you get to choose any of the 4 characters). This is why it's good to just save this for later because you will have to scour the city with every character anyways.

 

Conclusion:

 

The game is easy but time consuming and boring. Even thought it's not an extreme amount of hours like some games, most of the game is collecting items in free roam and replaying things for 5 stars. It feels like it doesn't really have a main "storyline" or anything. It's just collecting things, figuring out how to get around the city, and mini game type events. You don't move very fast, and move even slower when sneaking. Guess you'll be spending more time in this game than you wanted!

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-9y3pg=.jpgA Rare Sight! 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find all 195 Thermometers For Melman

 

There are 15 collectibles in each district for each character. This is best done in Free Roam after you complete the game. Some of them can only be collected in Free Roam anyways. The ones you will want to focus on in story mode are the ones in your path when you have to grab the items for the mission. After you complete the game, go to the Missions Map in the menu. Collect whatever you have left in each district. Pause the game to see how much for each character, and run them all around to get the items they need. In Free Roam you may switch between all 4 characters.

 

Melman: He is tall. Check for things higher in the air, on tight ropes, or on water fountains.

Marty: The balloons will be in normally higher places, where only Marty can get to with a cannon or a jump board.

Gloria: Hers are normally easy to spot but can be higher on tight ropes or under water. Dive under water by pressing :ybut: inside it and then :abut: to swim around. There is normally grass on the bottom that is sparkling. Shoot bubbles at it to break it sometimes revealing the flowers.

Alex: These are normally in places other characters can't get to, requiring his double jump ability. He is the best character to use to "scout" the level for the other characters since he can get to most places by himself.

Find All the Scrap Wood Skipper Needs

 

While doing events in the cities, you will have an objective to collect 15 scrap piles of wood. You find these laying around or by breaking boxes with a character that can do so. There is more than 15 in each city, so they are very easy to collect. Sometimes there might be a few in one district and then tons of them in another. If you are playing and aren't seeing them, progress farther into the story to get to different parts of the city.

Story related, can't be missed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-jCBcg=.jpgBiggest Star Under the Big Top! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in each Circus Act

 

There are a total of 6 mini games you must play in each of the 5 Circus Acts. Each circus does seem to get more and more difficult to get 5 stars. You likely won't get 5 stars every time. You may replay these acts after you have finished the city's circus by going to the main menu (interactive one where you can walk around).

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-rjDH0=.jpgA Proper Send-Off! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any Trapeze Act

 

This is somewhat difficult to control. While doing the Trapeze Act, you must time it so when you release while swinging, you are going in an upward motion but not before you are completely horizontal. Try to get as many balloons as you can and at the end, the AI should attempt to set up the top bar for you to jump and get the balloon that is worth the most points (the highest one). You can replay this event from the main interactive menu after you have completed the circus.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-sD9O4=.jpgHigh Wire Highness! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any High Wire Act

 

This is a circus mini game that is pretty easy. Just walk across the High Wire. You don't need to focus on balancing at all. Walk straight and avoid the obstacles. You get a time bonus if you make it somewhat quickly, though it is pretty forgiving. You can replay this event from the main interactive menu after you have completed the circus.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-6hHxc=.jpg3 Rings of Fun! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any Flaming Rings Act

 

In this circus event, choose the tiger. Always choose the tiger. Hold :abut: down and let go to jump through the hoops. You will do this much quicker than the computer would have if you let it be the tiger. This is an easy act to get 5 stars on. You can replay this event from the main interactive menu after you have completed the circus.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-9B54Q=.jpgA Sure Hit! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any Cannonball Act

 

This is one of the more difficult acts to do. You must try to collect as many balloons as possible, and then try to land nearest to the center of the target. It is a rather annoying part of the game because a lot missing a few balloons can really cost you a lot of points. You can replay this event from the main interactive menu after you have completed the circus.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-1g7jE=.jpgBoss of the Toss! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any Snack Toss

 

This act is very easy while playing the circus. As one of the monkey characters, you just throw the snacks at the crowd where the icons match. You don't have to be all that fast to get the 5 stars on this one. You can replay this event from the main interactive menu after you have completed the circus.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2239/5-7eA-A=.jpgTicket to Adventure! 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Stars in any Ticket Sales

 

This act is very easy and the first mini game in the circus. Just press the buttons in the order they give, 4 at a time. You should have no trouble getting 5 stars.

Get 5 Stars on All City Events

 

There are a total of 4 cities and they all have Events you must complete. You are ranked on your scores. You can retry these after you complete each city from the main menu.

 

Below is the various mini games.

 

Escape: You must collect the items while running. The tough part of this is you must not only collect to gain your score, but you cannot fall too far back and get caught or you must retry.

Poster Race: Julien will toss up posters on the walls of the city and you must act fast to place them with the :bbut:. The problem will be sometimes your partner gets in the way any other times you just do the character's action instead of placing the poster which can slow you down. The spots to place the posters vanish after Julien tosses more up.

Supply Sprint: These can be somewhat difficult. Just remember, it's not about quantity but quality of what you are collecting. You can mostly ignore a lot of the balloons to save time. Always try different routes too. You will want to grab the firework (the lone orange one) for the most points. You should be getting scores around 60 or higher for the 5 stars.

 

Special Delivery: This is in Rome only and easy to get the stars. Just go to the little mail boxes and press :bbut: on them.

Complete the Colosseum Publicity Stunt

 

Publicity stunts are done after you complete a the city events and are just before the actual circus. You must move your characters through an obstacle course mostly involving jumping to different platforms and making your way to the designated spot. It is straight forward on each stunt on where to go.

 

Note: Before the stunt, you will be told to decorate the area. This is not required at all and is a waste of time. Just go to the mission board and choose that you are done decorating.
