Dizzy Goes To Hollywood (HELP THREAD)

I remember playing this on my Spectrum 128k but definitely never finished it. After the Dizzy games, CJ's Elephant Antics and Slightly Magic were firm Codemasters favourites.
Anyway, I've got 10 Oscars, various green body parts, the bottle of potion, a bouncy ball, a balloon, a pump, a wooden mallet and two coins and have been round everywhere trying everything to no avail.
I've opened up The Wizard Of Oz (I've given Dorothy the clockwork heart), Grease (taken care of both characters there), Crocodile Dundee (need something for Mick Dundee), The Big Country (can't get past the gangster) and Flash Gordon (can't go through the transporter without dying).
Any hints for how to get further?

Armorog - I am not a lot further on than you, but I think you may have some other items you haven't mentioned.

You give Mick Dundee something that Paul Hogan (who wrote and played him) used to advertise, but if you are too young to know that, he called it amber nectar.

To pass the gangster is an involved process, requiring some objects you haven't mentioned, and locations Dick Tracy and Sherlock Holmes.

That is then as far as I have got so far...

Armorog, you use the balloon and pump together at a specific spot.

Thanks SnTrooper. The balloon & pump worked like a charm.

OK, now I've got the love letter, balloon & pump (used), sharp knife, bouncy ball, wooden mallet, two coins, bottle of potion, rubber gloves (used), then lots of oscars and green body parts.
I need to find a detonator, a brain and some courage for Dorothy, something for the woman in The Big Country, plus get into King Kong and Frankenstein studios. Can't find those two keys! Any more hints please?

Deliver the letter.

Aaarrgh so I'm just going round and round in circles now. I've got the lollipop and the items I mentioned above, I still can't find the keys for Frankenstein and King Kong. I know from the help thread that I should've been able to find a brain by now, I know I need that and something else to get the blanket from Dorothy in order to get the detonator. The props man wants another chitty, I can't get across the busy road with traffic, none of the other characters I've met seem to want anything more from me. Help!

Yes you can. {dizzy}:dizwink:

Aaaahh! Clever. I really thought I'd have finished this one by now - but it looks like I just need a brain! (And a body for Frankenstein, the detonator too, but I know I can't get that yet). Any hints re.the brain?

Armorog - you need to collect the green chest first. Sorry, I cannot remember where it was but I am sure it wasn't hidden. Unlike one of the Oscars which I appear to be missing! :cry:

Haven't come across a green chest anywhere unfortunately. I'd better go and have another thorough rummage around then.

I can't believe I've been driven back to the help thread! I've found 20 people so far to give oscars to, and can't understand where I can find 2 more people. I've tried the munchkins and the crocodile but no joy. I only actually have 1 more oscar which is my second problem (I was hoping I wouldn't need one for myself...)
I haven't used the mallet, also have the potion and gloves left over.

Try again.

How did you get up to Kong then? {yolkfolk}:puzzled:

Frogman - Apart from the oscars hidden in crates you can always see a tiny bit of oscar in the screen (remember the willies in Dora goes to Paris). The only two awkward screens are the one above Ming the Merciless and the one on the outside wall at Dorothy's which you have to avoid falling in the water to reach.

Grandad - yes, thanks got those 2. I thought the sneakiest one I have found so far was the one in the greasy spoon cafe. I may have stashed the missing oscar somewhere, but not had time to hunt yet. Thanks for another great game.

Frogandhat - I got up to Kong just by jumping over the barrels if possible, and losing energy if I couldn't. I managed to finish the game in the end with three lives, just a sliver of energy left on my last life. Was there another way to do it?
Silly me with those munchkins at the end, I was just standing near them trying to offer them the oscars and film script! I did have to go through the whole game at the end looking for one final oscar, but found it in a crate in the treehouses.

Wow, hats off to you Armorog for doing it the hard way! Looks like you have never played Donkey Kong? If you enter Kong's studio with the hammer then every time a barrel touches you, Dizzy automatically smashes it with the hammer meaning no jumping and no energy loss.
