001-General Information
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is an in-depth walkthrough for the PC/MAC game called
Super Solvers Gizmos and Gadgets. In the game, your object
is to build the best machine, which you do by building it
out of the best parts. How do you know what parts are the
best? Use this guide and find out.

want to put my guide on your website or something like
that, you should contact me first.
002-General Game Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Just in case your game manual is missing or something, I'll
explain the game in brief. The game's story is this:
Morty Maxwell, better known as the Master of Mischief, has
taken over Shady Glen Technology Center, using his robotic
chimps. Fortunately, the Super Solvers have caught onto
the Master of Mischief's plan and are challenging him. The
contest is simple: whoever is the better scientist wins.
In other words, whoever can make faster, and therefore
better, machines wins. However, they need to win 15 times,
not just once.
The fifteen times refers to three buildings (automotive,
alternative energy and aircraft) with five levels. In each
level you build a new machine.
You get to walk around the building and pick up crates,
which contain mechanical parts. You can only carry two of
the same type of part at the same time, but you can
"recycle" unwanted parts in the recycle bin (they then
reappear in the levels in red).
It'd be pretty easy if that's all there was to the game, so
pretty much all of the doors are locked to make it harder.
To unlock a door, solve the science-themed puzzle on it.
If you don't like a puzzle, you can go away and try opening
the door again for a different puzzle.
Also, there are chimps (you can choose if you want to have
them or not) that go around, stealing parts. Fortunately,
you can distract them with bananas.
003-Best Parts
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since each building has five levels, I've listed the ideal
parts for the machine for each level. Your machine doesn't
have to be perfect to win (because the bad guy has built
less-than-perfect machines), but if it IS perfect, it will
win every time.
When I describe a part (like a decal) as no effect, I mean
that you can use whichever type of that part that you want,
as it does not affect the speed of your vehicle.
