Mr. Do's Castle DescriptionMr Do!, the clown, moves around six floors interconnected by ladders -- some fixed, some whose top can be pushed left or right. Baddies look like unicorns. He has a hammer which can knock out floor stones.Know anything more about this game? Game PlayThe hammer is used to knock out floor stones. Some are marked with a cherry, collect all these to finish the level. The unicorns (baddies) fall into holes that you knock into the floor. Some fall through and survive, whereas some get stuck in the holes. If left they will climb out, leaving a block in the hole, and become nastier baddies. The way to kill the unicorns is to knock a block from the floor above onto their head. When all are killed, the level is complete. The hammer can be used against them, but merely pushes them away a little. On the nastier ones, this does not work at all! There are sections of floor marked at each end with a skull block, which when both skull blocks are knocked out, all the blocks fall to reveal 'wooden floorboards'. Good for killing multiple monsters! There are three blocks in the floor which contain keys, knock them all out to open the doors at the top of the screen. Behind it is a shield, which when collected, turns the unicorns into Alphamonsters. The Alphamonsters flee from Mr. Do!, and can be killed with his hammer or by knocking out a floor stone onto them. When you kill an Alphamonster, its letter appears on a flagpole at the top of the screen. Collect all five letters to obtain another Mr. Do!MiscellaneousThe Asian version of the game is called Mr. Do! Vs. Unicorns. The graphic ROMs for this title have a variety of prizes, but only the first is used. Even the original apple from Mr. Do! is included but is not used!VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 56 known instances of Mr. Do's Castle owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 8 of them are original dedicated machines, 14 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 34 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Mr. Do's Castle machine for sale. There is one VAPS member with an extra Mr. Do's Castle circuit board for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe PCB is marked with the code 8300-A2 and the ROMs bear the marking A1-A10. At least two ROM versions exist, but later revisons have extended game play by the inclusion of blocks with cherrys embeded in them. Also the replay Diamond was added.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Mr. Do's Castle Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Universal.
