Toy Robot

The Toy Robot is a minigame item in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask. It is given to Professor Layton, Luke and Emmy by Guy in Knick-Knack Alley.

Details

The Toy Robot minigame is found in Professor Layton's trunk alongside the other minigames. The object of the game is to reach the red finishing square whilst avoiding obstacles and enemies. The only exception to this is the Eastern Palace stage: a boss fight in which the golden keys are used to inflict damage.

The robot can move in any direction (except diagonally), so long as it isn't blocked by an obstacle, but must move three squares per turn.

Stages

There are ten Stages to complete in the Toy Robot minigame. New stages are given to Layton and Luke after completing certain tasks for people. Upon completing all ten Stages, the Toymaker's House is added to Layton's Challenges and a new section, titled Hidden Maze, becomes available to play. Hidden Maze contains a total of fifteen additional stages, each unlocked by completing the previous stage.
