Here I am once more, exploring new boundaries by giving you my Chu Chu 
Rocket! Strategy Guide for the Gameboy Advance. Chu Chu Rocket! also appeared 
on another console before, specifically, the Sega Dreamcast. There are times 
when we are in need of a challenging yet fun and comical game to satisfy our 
gaming. Chu Chu Rocket! is a great game at that. Ive played the Dreamcast 
version and its good also. But Im very much amazed when I played it in the 
Gameboy Advance. Its such a powerful handheld gaming machine and Im 
impressed about the processing power of it. I sometimes imagine playing a 
Playstation game on the Gameboy Advance. Now, lets go deeper into the 
strategies of the game.

=====================
Game Objectives/Rules
=====================

I. Main Goal 
------------
The main goal in the game is to successfully lead the ChuChus (mice) into the 
rocket. There will be a couple of hindrances on the way like walls, holes, 
and most especially, the cats. You have to strategically place the arrow 
panels (4 directions: up, down, left, right) on the map. Then when you press 
the Start Dash (by default, its the R Button), the ChuChus will move around 
in the map in an orderly and straight path. When they reach a wall, they will 
turn right. When they reach the arrow panel/s, they will follow the direction 
the arrow panel is pointing to. Just remember that in the 1P mode, you need 
to lead ALL ChuChus into the rocket. Not a single one should be left out. 

II. Difficulty
--------------
To a certain degree, the puzzles will range from extremely easy to extremely 
difficult. You really have to think of a way to place those arrow panels 
correctly. The other thing to worry about is that the arrow panels are 
limited. It may only need 1 arrow panel to solve the puzzle but you have to 
figure it out yourself. 

III. Winning
------------
After winning, the level will be checked (denoting that you have solved it 
already) and you may then move on to other puzzles. Just remember that you 
may take on any puzzle. There is no particular order in doing so.

=============
Game Controls
=============

The controls are very easy. You only need the D-Pad and the 4 action buttons 
of the Gameboy Advanced.

A Button - Ok/Accept/Action Button
B Button - Go Back
L Button - Cancel Button
R Button - Start/Dash
Start Button - Pause (Resume/Exit)

In this game mode, your goal is to correctly place the arrow panels in order 
to successfully guide the mice towards the rocket safely. Youll encounter 
cats and you have to think carefully (and compute the timing) about placing 
the arrow panels. Here are the puzzles and their solutions/strategies.

In addition to the normal puzzles (those that are included in the game), 
there are also puzzles that have been created (custom puzzles) that were 
created by different persons on the Dreamcast Version. They are tough and 
there are lots and lots of them. Youll definitely have to play very long. 
Let me remind you now that there are hundreds of puzzles here, therefore the 
guide might be longer than usual. There are 2,525 puzzles all in all just 
here in the 1 Player Puzzle mode. Here we go! Lets start with the Normal 
Puzzles. Ill put the solution I personally did for the puzzles. Take note 
also that is it very much possible that more than 1 strategy can be applied 
for a single puzzle.

Legend:
=======
R = Rocket
H = Holes
>,<,^,V = Arrows and their position

                               ==============

These puzzles are fairly easy. They might get a little tricky sometimes but 
these wont be categorized as difficult puzzles. After completing all 25 
puzzles, youll see the ending credits.

1. Study the map very well, first hand, before placing the arrows. But you 
can try a new arrow placement if you made a mistake.

2. For a more efficient arrow placement in maps with cats. Study the movement 
pattern of the cats and place the arrow correctly so that the cats misses the 
mice. 

3. If youre having trouble with cats, lead them off by placing arrow panels 
right in front of their paths. These arrows tend to disappear after being 
touched by cats.

4. Always remember that the mouse will turn right on walls. Use this for 
combinations that will lead to the rockets.

5. If there are more than 1 rocket in a map, dont worry about leading a 
mouse in each of them. Leading all the mice into 1 rocket is enough to win 
the level.
