Changes: Cheat Token

Revision as of 20:35, 19 February 2019

“Throw me 20 Scarabs and I'll give you a Cheat Token!”

—Creature in Well

Cheat Tokens are yellow, giant coin-like tokens, that can be bought from well hidden Scarab Wells scattered throughout Dinosaur Planet, excluding the places floating in space: DarkIce Mines, CloudRunner Fortress, Walled City and Dragon Rock, in "Star Fox Adventures".

Locations and rewards

37-30-CheatToken1 — A rewarded Cheat Token.

There is a total of eight Wells and each Token costs 20 Scarabs. To be of any use, they must be taken to the well in the middle of the Game Well Maze under the Warp Stone. Please see Scarab Wells for more info.

Cheat Token rewards range from pieces of text to some actually pretty funny things, though none of them is actually useful gameplay-wise, nor are any of them required to complete the game.

Location: ThornTail Store's main hall
Reward: Staff Credits available in options menu
Requirement(s): Only the 20 Scarabs

Location: In a cave in the first part of Ice Mountain

Reward: Music Test in audio menu

Requirement(s): Bomb Spore, Fire Blaster

Location: In the end of a river in SnowHorn Wastes

Reward: Message about an enemy

Requirement(s): SharpClaw Prison Key

“His Life-Force is strong. His existence is like a virus. I can hear his breath in every corner of space. He will not only use the evil hearts of others. But he can also corrupt those that are good.”

—Token Message

Most probably a reference to Andross, the main antagonist of the Star Fox series and his ability to control the minds of others. Also foreshadows his role in General Scales' conquest, and also implies that he planned to corrupt Krystal.

Location: In the end of Moon Mountain Pass

Reward: Dino language setting in options menu, or message about destiny

Requirement(s): MoonSeed, Flame Command

“You are meant to be together. It was your destiny. Together as one, you will bring peace.”

—Token Message

This is probably a reference to Fox and Krystal coming together at the end of the game, and their future adventures together, keeping peace in the Lylat system.
- Some versions of the game contain this message, while other versions have the Dinosaur language option. It is not simply a PAL / NTSC difference, as there were PAL versions of the game which had this message, and there were also PAL versions of the game with the Dinosaur language option included instead.

Location: Chase baby LightFoots from underground in LightFoot Village

Reward: Message about a friend

Requirement(s): LightFoot Tribe membership

“A friend who has left, still cares about you. The bond of your friendship still remains. He will soon appear before you. And you should accept him with all your heart.”

—Token Message

A clear reference to Fox's dear friend Falco Lombardi, who had temporarily left the team for a solo career but eventually returned to help Fox when he needed him.

Location: Shoot a rock wall with a cannon in Cape Claw

Reward: Sepia mode (black and white screen) setting in options menu

Requirement(s): Portal Device

Location: Grow a Moonseed right outside Volcano Force Point Temple

Reward: Encouragement message

Requirement(s): Third SpellStone, Moonseed, Flame Command

“I can see you have matured into a strong leader. I am always there with you. Never give up... Trust your instincts... My son...”

—Token Message

An obvious reference to Fox's father James McCloud, even using his motto.

Location: After the electric floor in Ocean Force Point Temple

Reward: Message warning about a sorrow

Requirement(s): Fourth SpellStone, Portal Device

“There is sorrow ahead. A close friend does not have much time left. It will be hard to accept but you will grow.”

—Token Message

This one is under a lot of speculation. Common beliefs include:
- Peppy Hare (because he is becoming old, or even is clairvoyant of his sacrifice in the sequel game, Star Fox: Assault)
  - Prince Tricky (because he and Fox part ways at the end of Adventures).
    - Another belief is that this message refers to Rare and Nintendo parting company.

Trivia

The Warp Stone is portrayed on the Cheat Tokens. This makes sense, since the place where they have to be taken (the Game Well Maze) is located underneath him.
There are five stars on the tokens, which coincides with the number of messages that will appear when delivering each Token into the Maze well.
