Impossible Dizzy Screenshots!

[Muzozavr]

Here impossible screenshots from dizzy games will be, and those who want will try to guess how it is done.
Rules:
1) Anyone can post his/her impossible screenshot anytime.
2) Any game can be used (including the fan-made ones) but you must point out the game you took the screenshot from.
3) NO cheat using, that includes such thing as iwantanomellete in Dizzy 5 and dev mode in DizzyAGE games.
4) Glitches can be used.
5) DON'T edit the game itself.
Here're two, both from Fantasy World Dizzy remake:

yeah i've worked them out.

the first you have to keep pressing enter as you move towards the troll. you'll eventually collect a coin, and will be able to walk past him.

it was the '01' in the coin box that gave that away.

interestingly, you can't escape from there without losing all your lives.

as for the second one, you balance on the edge of the lift as you go up in it. a split second after that screen shot, you'd have risen above the platform. that one was easy to work out.

[Muzozavr]

interestingly, you can't escape from there without losing all your lives.
You can. If you jump from behind the troll correctly, he won't throw you up.

[delta]

ah i see.

i bet you can't find anything like that in Diamond Mine Dizzy. :p

i'll be shocked if you can.... (apart from the thing with the lifts obv!)

[Muzozavr]

The screenshot about being burned by flames is from Fantasy World Dizzy Remake, the screenshot with sitting Dizzy (he is tired probably) is... yup, from Diamond Mine Dizzy!:p

[delta]

where he's sitting, he'll just have been dazed a split second before by rolling down the steps, and you've captured it at the point just before he gets up.

perfectly normal!


the one with the flames, i'm guessing there's a flame behind the message box that he jumped into.

[Muzozavr]

Right at sitting dizzy.
What do you mean about the flames screenshot?

[delta]

i mean that there's a message box blocking part of the screen.

it's probable that behind that there is a flame that he jumped into.

:v2_dizzy_eek:
1. dizzy shouldn't be able to get past the troll, as soon as dizzy touches it it should be put into a jump towards the left. and the troll is to tall to jump over.

2. the flame death message is abit odd as there is no hurt/kill material where dizzy is dead, i've tested this game many times in this area and it's never happened too me. the only thing i can think of is dizzy has touched the torch in the room to the left while in a jump. and this means dizzy wouldn't actually die until he hits the ground.

[Muzozavr]

About getting past the troll, it's all a matter of holding the right arrow key while mashing enter like there's no tomorrow. You'll get a coin and then if you are lucky you will be able to get past him.
Then you cannot escape from behind the troll by simply going as he throws you in the flame.
But from behind the troll you can simply JUMP over and he will not throw you up.
You're correct about flame death. If you find the right place of jumping you can get the flame death message in wide-eyed-dragon room.
Might be interesting to try to get past the troll in the deserted mines and see what happens?!:v2_dizzy_wink:
EDIT: I found out. It's a pity that pteal placed something there so I still can't access the screen immediately to the right.

[Fletch]

haha, I was going to suggest Photoshop!!!!
didnt know some of these were possible!:v2_dizzy_jawdrop:

[Muzozavr]

Three more screenshots for you.
The first one is already known, but I like the idea of flame death message being SO far away from any flames. (Fantasy World Dizzy remake)

The next two are from Dizzy Lives, and you've got to work them out.

I see you found the 31st Diamond on the way down :laugh:

[Muzozavr]

I remember that one.:D
Funny, but not really "impossible" when it shows the method.

[AndyUK]

Ive got one but not screenshot
On prince of the yolkfolk (CPC and Speccy)

walk from the left on the bottom floor into the room with the evil dizzy double and back again. You will lose a little life. keep doing this and you will eventually die, apparently from the flames? What flames!

[Mat_Dizzy]

Heh. A few i made a couple of years ago:

Dizzy: Dont worry i bribed the troll ;)

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b289/mat_dizzy/dizzy3hoax.png

Ahh thats whats behind the troll at the start!

Dozy DOES have his uses afterall, Treasure island... Here we come!

[Muzozavr]

Those three are funny, but fake.
This thread is intended for screenshots that are real and untouched but look impossible.

Dizzy's enhanced speed in the Aladdin versions of The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy once got the better of me as I accidentally jumped into the crack over the breakable rock below the dragon, with no way out on either side.

Also, I found that it's possible to stand on the ledge over the shopkeeper in the NES version of Treasure Island Dizzy, but it's not easy! Can you guess how it's done?

And does anyone know if you can beat 83000 points?

Speaking of points, I once achieved a very minimal score by the end of The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy.

(You can farm mini-games for unlimited points, and a score of 9999 rolls over to 0000. The easiest way to do this is to just keep jumping in place after you beat Zaks.)

[Bag of Magic Food]

Oh, heh, I just found out that I can jump into the same crack in the very first version of The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy. No super speed required!

That's pretty harsh, that you could be trying to find a way to get through without dynamite and suddenly get trapped on both sides with no way to even lose a life to get out.

I like this - is a thread about buggy things in Dizzy or things the game allows that it shouldn't - :)

I dont have a screenshot to hand - but i can describe a shot i remember - it went something like this:
On the ST version of Fantasy World, in the screen below the hut with the 4 lift control machines - there's another lift down to a dragon. Its possible to stand in the lift, as far right as possible, and as the lift moves up/down, Dizzy can move through the rock to the right of the lift (and grab the carpet) without having to solve the rocks and pickaxe puzzle in the next screen to the right.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Oh that's nice. I don't think I'd have ever tried that; I would be too worried about crush kills in that game.

I was rooting around in my Commodore 64 folder the other day, and I spotted some old screenshots of interesting things that happened to me in Dizzy games.

I found the 105th room in Spellbound Dizzy, and without cheating! I think it's a glitch though. The spare crusher seems to work differently, in that instead of detecting that you've walked too far to the left, it detects that you're walking on it at all, so the trick is that you need to jump directly to the star and jump straight back out without taking any steps. But this means that it's possible to jump out to the left, which caused Dizzy to fall through space into the ceiling of that room.

Now I've forgotten exactly what I did to end up here, but I know it involves getting Dizzy embedded in the wall so that he floats upwards, then stops inside the pipe because it counts as empty space. It's not tall enough for Dizzy to walk anywhere at this point, however!

This must be where all the hidden objects start out in Treasure Island Dizzy: coins, boat, bubble, placed dynamite, and curse lightning. I believe it came from messing around with this glitch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNgctobaKc8) where Dizzy can jump over the blasting area and land in the title screen. Instead of jumping completely over, I got Dizzy to do that thing where he just barely slips off and falls straight down in his walking animation, eventually passing through this screen.

Hey, that happened to me once, only I did it in front of the Devil so Dizzy ended up on the right side of the swamp. I guess it's a consequence of dropped objects "eating" into sloped terrain and that floor being so low.

I just remembered another cool thing I did in MagicLand. It turns out that on ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, it's just barely possible to jump onto the roof of Prince Charming's castle.

Did you notice the subtle changes to the graphics beside the status bar between these versions? "Hey, Dizzy, your hands grew five sizes since I last saw you!"
