Musical Memory |
Musical Memory otherwise known as the Memory and Cognitive Recognition Test is a minigame in Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web", located in the Game Station. It is one of the minigames The Player must face to obtain the three Train Code fragments. The game works on the same principle as Simon Says.
Appearance[]
In front and behind The Player are buttons and two screens. Above the platform, there is a viewing platform, in which Mommy Long Legs talks to The Player from. The screen shows a color and its name, or a symbol, and there are buttons around the bottom platform which increase in number as the rounds progress.
Above The Player are pipes and wires, with Bunzo Bunny connected to the top plate in the middle. As the game progresses, he advances towards The Player. If they correctly inputs the pattern, he moves back upwards. However, if they makes a mistake, he will lower at a faster pace until reaching The Player and killing them.
Gameplay[]
Once standing on the platform and watching the Musical Memory Tutorial, four colored buttons will appear in front. Click the buttons in the same format of the colors seen flashing on the screen. The rounds get gradually harder until the second round, where a unique color (that being Violet) appears behind The Player to confuse them. Round three introduces Orange and White and the round slowly starts to get impossible. After the Fourth round, buttons will appear on the top and bottom. Colors that flash at an alarming pace start to appear on the screen, being practically impossible to complete. A Cease button will appear spinning around the area; clicking this button will break the entire game and complete the round automatically. Continue to a locked vent seen on the bottom of the game'ss platform.
