Title Screen

Alright! You ready to play some Touhou Mother, using your omniscience powers since you know both games so well? Well, you better be because the game will not let you progress unless you known what music it plays! (For the lazy/newbie/Cirno-minded, whichever applies to you, it's Highly Responsive to Prayers.) After that, we see that our names (Junya Itoi) and our preferences (Sake and Love) being filled in for us, (Reason being is the engine was Japanese, so it couldn't have been changed.) Let's begin!

The Beginning

Reimu checks her donation box, only to find it empty. Then Marisa comes to tell you that she's bored and after agreeing to resolve this, she joins your party. Reimu is your basic all-around Fighter that can fill any role, while Marisa is your typical mage. She has great power and PP, but low hp and defense. After saving, go to left and through the path. Then go northeast to the Sunflower Field. After the conversation with Yuka, you get your first battle (which could also qualify as a boss fight) which happens to be Cirno.

Cirno

Cirno

Recommended Level: 1

Strategy:There really is no strategy here, cast your best spells until she drops!

After you win, a meteor falls and after it does (and pummels Cirno further) go investigate by heading towards the right. Go North and fight all the Mr. Ghosties until you learn Pk Lifeup α. Trust me, you'll need it.

Mr Ghosty

Mr.Ghosty

Recommended Level: 1

Strategy: Pummel them with your spells! If Marisa's spell doesn't kill him, Reimu's physical one will!

When you reach Suwako's hat, eat the Mushrooms (Don't worry about the secondary "effects" yet... and save.

Go up and face yet another boss battle, Starman Junior.

Starman Junior

Starman Junior

Recommended Level: 2

Strategy: Ok, you must be more tactical here. Have Reimu attack physically while Marisa uses all her pp using PK Beam α. When you/Marisa is taking a beating, use PK Lifeup α.

After winning, Yuka catches up and Reimu notices a familiar fat human... (for the uninitiated, it's Porky from Earthbound/Mother)After a lengthy cutscene of the title, Marisa refuses to leave him and flies towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion, while busting a hole in the wall... (and yet, Meiling is unshaken...)

After scolded and seduced by Patchouli, you need to search for Remilia while Marisa and Patchouli have some "alone time."

Save and head towards the door, only to have Remilia burst in and hide behind you, because Sakuya is wearing a scary mask!

(P.S. you are cruel if you don't agree to help her.)

Masked Maid Girl

Masked Maid Girl

Recommended Level:2-3

Strategy: In this fight, Patchy will assist you, but is really only a help when she isn't using psychical attacks and/or coughing violently. The Masked Maid Girl uses a Tarot Card (which is actually a Yu-Gi-Oh card called "Arcana Force XXI, The World". Fitting.) If it's heads up, you can't attack, but she'll hit you and if it's down she can't attack and you get a free hit! Don't get your hopes up as it is based on luck...

After zapping her, the mask falls off and the evil hold on Sakuya is no more! Remila suddenly finds the courage to boss Sakuya around again, and all is right within the SDM (As much as it's gonna get) After some coaxing by Marisa, Patchy finds it contains a part of a melody. (You also get your first new equiptables) It breaks and "Fatty" wakes up!

Towards the end of the dialogue, we find that Fatonymous's name is written on a piece of paper and he has no memories! (This also means he doesn't know what the melody does...)

Take some sake from Patchy and equip the Magic Ribbon and Diary to Marisa. (Yes, I know it lowers her offense, but she really shouldn't be attacking psychically in the first place... Oh, by the way, from this point on, if you run out of PP, especially during a boss fight, you may as well be dead. You LIVE on that stuff. So, take care!
