There are many different types of trinkets, baubles and other items that you could pick up along the way in Tricky Town. One of the more unique items is the orb, which is carried around by a friendly spirit who will offer to fly you over troubled water or navigate you through difficult tasks if you give him a quick rub of the orb.
While the rub of the orb doesn’t give you any significant gameplay advantage, it does provide a small one. To get the orb onto the Metro Speedway track, you first need to acquire it. Then you will have to perform various routines on the track to earn orbs and unlock new areas.
Getting the orb onto the track is relatively easy. All you need is a magnet. Just pull off any metal object you have and stick it on the track. Once the orb is on the track, you can move it around with the right bumper. When you get it close to another object, the orb will stick to that object as long as the magnet is close enough to pull it off the track. The farther away the magnet is from the object, the more difficult it will be to pull the orb off.
The key to keeping the orb on the track is to not let go of the magnet. When you do release your grip on the magnet, the orb will drop off the track and you will have to start the process over again. This can be frustrating if you are not used to playing with a control scheme like this. However, if you want to keep playing, eventually you will have to figure out how to do it the right way.
As you travel around the town, you will come across a variety of tasks. Some of these tasks are very easy, such as getting birds to nest in a particular place. Others are a bit more difficult, like getting the orbs needed to power up the golden gun or freeing all the fish in a river.
The Golden Gun
One of the most useful items in Tricky Town is the golden gun, which provides a variety of useful effects. You can shoot a rainbow of colorful fireworks that leave a beautiful display in their wake. You can also project an image of yourself onto a screen or onto a wall. This effect is great for parties and is also useful for when you want to play with other people but don’t want to disturb your neighbors.
To get the golden gun and all the other perks connected to it, you need to go around shooting all the ducks that you find in the waterways. This will provide you with a variety of unique items, including the golden gun, which will give you the ability to project an image of yourself. Just make sure you don’t shoot other animals, as some of them provide useful items as well.
Freeing All The Fish
One of the more difficult tasks in Tricky Town is freeing all the fish in a river. In order to do this, you will need to collect all the orbs that you can find along the way. There are two methods that you can use to help you get these orbs. The first one is to pull off metal objects that you find on the ground and stick them on the track. The second one is to dive into the water and search for the orbs that are washed ashore. You should do what’s necessary to get all the fish. Once you have all of them, you can rest assured that they will be safe and you can focus on enjoying the game.
As you make your way around the town, you are sure to come across a variety of tasks. Some of these tasks are very easy, such as getting the birds to nest in a particular place. Others are a bit more difficult, like getting the orbs needed to power up the golden gun or freeing all the fish in a river. Be sure to try out all the different methods that you can in order to see what works best for you. Then, when you have mastered getting the orbs, you can move on to the more difficult tasks and have a challenge to see how far you can get before the game ends. Good luck out there.
