Ever had to run around the house picking up your favorite toys to take with you on vacation? No? We’ll here’s your chance. Usuki Frenzy is an Action game, released on August 21^st, 2007 begins with the young protagonist Lucie—an avid Usuki collector—who has forgotten to pack the most essential of items before she and her parents leave for the Usuki Convention. She is given three minutes to gather up her favorite Usuki sets that are scattered around the house. In order to complete Usuki Frenzy, you have to assist Lucie in collecting all of the items on her list that can appear anywhere in ten different rooms. If you can manage a score high enough, you can even with a trophy!

Neopets Usuki Frenzy Instructions

On the left side of the screen you are given a list of different Usuki Sets and Dolls that Lucie the Cybunny had left lying around. The object of this game is to gather each item on the list as quickly as possible before the timer runs out. Using the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) on your keyboard, you can direct Lucie through each room of the house to find the toys. In order to pick up an item you must walk over it, and if it is correct, it will appear in full color on the left side of your screen. However, if you pick up an incorrect item, a message will then appear at the top of your screen. This item must be returned to one of four red bookcases in the house in order for you to move on. You cannot gather any more items until you have done this. These bookcases can be found in both bedrooms, living room, and dining room (refer to the map at the end of this guide for specific locations). Once you have collected everything on the list, you may proceed to the next level.

 

This game has three levels in which you have a total combined time of three minutes to complete. Remember to use your time wisely, as the timer begins at the start of the game and does not reset between levels. The time you finished at in the previous level is the time you have remaining on the next one. The first level requires you to obtain four Usuki Sets to complete. That number increases to seven items at level two, and to ten items in level three. You must successfully complete each level in the specified time in order to win the game.

 

Neopets Usuki Frenzy Scoring

Each time a correct Usuki Set from the list is picked up, you are awarded 15 points. The various Usuki Dolls also give an additional 16 points per item, but are not required to win the level. Picking up an incorrect item will not directly affect your score. The position of these items are not random. The individual sets and dolls will always be located in the same exact room on each level, every time you play the game. Memorizing this pattern can be useful in achieving the maximum score possible by utilizing your time properly. At the end of each level you are given a time bonus, which amounts to your total time left divided by two. If you finish a level with 72 seconds to spare you will be given a 36 bonus to your overall score. Each second remaining is worth 0.5 points.

The only hidden object in this game is the Ballerina Usuki, which can only be found when you press the spacebar as your character is standing in front of the blue computer in Lucie’s room. Sometimes, you must press the up arrow key while doing this in order for the doll to appear. This trick can only be used once per game but can be done on any level.

Neopets Usuki Frenzy Tips

It has been observed that Lucie travels faster throughout each room by moving in a diagonal direction, achieved by pressing more than one arrow key at a time. She is harder to control using this method, but with practice this is the best way to help achieve a high score by increasing your time bonus. Additionally, as mentioned before, the same sets are always located in the same room every time you play. Memorizing where they are is a good start. The Usuki Pirate Set is the most difficult to locate, and can only be collected by walking down from the pink bedroom to reach the balcony that overlooks the garden.

 

You should avoid incorrect items whenever possible. Picking them up can hinder your score, as you have to take the time to place them on a red bookcase in order to continue. These items can sometimes be hard to avoid when entering a new room, such as when you travel into the garden from the kitchen. The Usuki Queen Set sits right in front of the doorway to the left. If you enter from the right side, you should be safe to pass through without picking it up.

 

Some players advise restarting the game until the sets are located relatively close to on another when following the list. This can also help you time bonus.
