Gyromite/Game A/Stages 1–10

A * next to the phase number indicates that two pipes need to be held down in order to clear the stage, so you will need to spin one of the Gyros.

Phase 1

 * 1) Have R.O.B. push the blue actuator down so that you can collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) You'll need to have R.O.B. release the blue actuator so that you reach the second rope.  Climb to the top and drop off the right to collect the second dynamite.  Be careful of the Smick and carry the first radish along with you just in case you need it to distract him.
 * 3) Now have R.O.B. press the red actuator, run over to the long rope, climb down and drop off to the left for the third dynamite.
 * 4) Get back on the rope and climb down to the floor and run left for the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) Continue left and climb up the next rope to reach the platform above.  Watch out for the Smick that patrols this area, and only climb up to the platform when he is to your right.  Run to the left, and climb up to the next dyanmite.
 * 6) Now reach the very left edge of these platforms and jump off to the left to collect the final dynamite.

Phase 2

 * 1) Do not drop down when you start this phase or you will not be able to collect the highest dynamite.  To collect it, push the blue actuator, and stand on the blue pipe with the radish on it.  Release the blue actuator, and jump off to the right.  Now push the red actuator to proceed.  Keep a radish with you just in case the top Smick gets in your way.  Climb up the next rope and collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) Continue to the right and fall off the platform to collect the second dynamite.
 * 3) Have R.O.B. release the red actuator, and climb up the rope that is to the left of where you landed.  Hop off on the platform to your left and get the third dynamite.
 * 4) Have R.O.B. press the blue actuator down.  Watch out for the location of the Smick.  If he is on that level with you, it might be necessary to attempt to squash him with the blue pipe in order to get him out of your way.  When it's safe, collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) Now release the blue actuator, and continue left for the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Now run left, fall off the platform, and continue left for the final dynamite.

Phase 3

 * 1) Start out by climbing the rope immediately in front of you to collect the first...
 * 2) ...and second sticks of dynamite.
 * 3) Now drop all the way to the bottom level to collect the third stick.  If the Smick has made it down there before you, wait until he is eating the radish to pass him.
 * 4) Have R.O.B. press the red actuator.  Continue to the right, climbing every rope you encounter until you can reach the highest platform.  Collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) With the red actuator still down, run past the red pipe.  When you are past it, R.O.B. may release the red actuator. Climb down the rope, and run right to pick up the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Have R.O.B. press the blue actuator so that you can run to the left and reach the final dynamite that is beyond the lower blue pipe.

Phase 4*
In order to complete this phase, you must spin one of the gyros and drop it on one actuator while R.O.B. holds down the second. Start preparing this as you pick up the first three dynamites.
 * 1) Jump off your starting platform, mindful of the Smick's location, and climb up the left rope to collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) Return to the spot that you landed on, and climb up the right rope until you can reach the second dynamite.
 * 3) Climb the ropes and traverse them to the right until you can reach the third dynamite.
 * 4) By now, you should have one gyro spinning on one of the actuators, and instruction R.O.B. to press down the other one (the order of the colors does not matter.)  When both pipes are down, collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) You may now release the actuator that you had pressed down, put the Gyro away (or place it in the spinner for the next time that you need a spinning Gyro), and have R.O.B. gather the Gyro that is spinning.  Move right over to the second rope and drop down to collect the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Climb down to the floor, and over to the far right rope.  Climb it until you can collect the final dynamite.

Phase 5

 * 1) The easiest dynamite to start with is the one immediately below you.
 * 2) Have R.O.B. press down the red actuator so that you can collect the dynamite to the far left.
 * 3) You're going to have to collect the dynamite above your starting position eventually, so you might as well get it now.  A Smick seems resigned to stay up there in that section all day, so the safest way to collect the dynamite is to bring a radish up with you.  Wait until the Smick passes over your head to the right, climb up and drop off to the left, collect the dynamite, turn around, and immediately drop the radish at your feet.  The Smick will encounter the radish before it encounters you, so you will be able to walk past it harmlessly.
 * 4) With the red actuator still held down, return to the starting point, run over to the ropes on your right, and climb down until you can reach the lowest platform where the fourth dynamite is waiting.
 * 5) Now have R.O.B. release the red actuator and press down the blue actuator.  Run to the right until you can pick up the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Climb all the way up the rope that your standing next to, and continue to run left until you collect the final dynamite.  Keep the blue actuator held down as you proceed to the next phase.

Phase 6

 * 1) With the blue actuator already held down, you can climb the rope up to the top and collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) Now fall down to the right and collect the second dynamite on the floor.
 * 3) Climb up the rope and hop off to the right in order to collect the third dynamite on the platform.  It's a good idea to carry the radish with you for the fifth dynamite.
 * 4) You'll need to press down the red actuator to proceed.  Most likely, a Smick is standing in the gap unable to move until the pipe moves down.  It will move to the right.  Collect the fourth dynamite and wait until it finds the radish before you pass him
 * 5) Have R.O.B. release the red actuator so you can pass.  Climb up the rope and drop over to the right.  If you brought that radish with you, you can use it in case the other Smick is in your way.  If it's coming down the rope, drop the radish off at your feet, and don't move until the Smick is eating.  Now climb the rope, and get off at the top to collect the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Simply proceed left to collect the last dynamite.

Phase 7
Phase 7 can be tackled in a number of different ways, but this approach divides the stage into a left half and a right half.
 * 1) Allow the Smick on the floor to walk over to you and begin eating the radish.  Then pass by him and run all the way to the right to collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) Double back and climb up the nearest rope.  Drop off to the left to collect the second dynamite.
 * 3) Have R.O.B. press the blue actuator.  Move back across the rope to the right, and stand on the blue pipe.  Now have R.O.B. release the actuator, and you will rise high enough to reach the ropes.  Traverse the ropes to the right and climb up the last one.  Jump off to the right and collect the third dynamite.
 * 4) When it is safe to do so, return near your starting position and climb up the long center rope.  Jump off to the right on your way up to collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) Then get back on the rope and climb up to the highest platform on the left.  Have R.O.B press the red actuator and pass the red pipe for the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Climb up the next rope, run left past the rope beyond it, and drop off to the left to collect the final dynamite.

Phase 8

 * 1) Start out by dropping down the stairs to the left to collect the first dynamite.  At this time, have R.O.B. press the blue actuator because you can't do it while you're climbing on a rope.
 * 2) Climb up the rope and traverse them to the right until you land on top of the blue pipe.  Release the blue actuator, and ride the pipe up.  Grab the rope to the left, climb up to the next platform, and drop down the steps for the second dynamite.
 * 3) Climb up the far left rope, and traverse the ropes to the right.  Collect the dynamite immediately to the left of the red pipe.  If a Smick is occupying the space to the right of the red pipe, be sure to pick up a radish.
 * 4) Have R.O.B. press the red actuator.  When the red pipe is down, drop the radish down if a Smick is down in that section.  When it's safe to drop down, collect the dynamite, the run back to the red pipe and ride it back up by releasing the red actuator.
 * 5) Press the blue actuator, jump on the right blue pipe, and release the actuator to rise back up and grab the right rope.  Climb up and to the right past the radish.  Cross the next set of ropes to collect the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Stand on the right blue pipe and press the blue actuator.  Run over to the rope and release the actuator.  Once you're on the bottom platform, run to the left and collect the last dynamite.

Phase 9

 * 1) Start out by running to the left, grabbing a radish on the way.  A Smick will occupy the highest platform by the left most dynamite.  You can either bring the radish up with you, or you can try to use the blue pipe to squash the Smick.  Either way, when it's safe, press down the blue actuator and collect the first dynamite.
 * 2) Return to the starting position, and climb down the nearby rope to collect one dymanite...
 * 3) ...and then the other.
 * 4) Climb back up the rope, and head to the right.  Press the red actuator to get past the red pipe, then climb down the rope and release the red actuator and press the blue actuator to continue.  Once you're past the blue pipe, release the blue actuator, climb down, and collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) Now return to the rope, and press the blue actuator again.  Climb up the rope, run to the right, and climb all the way up the next rope to the top platform.  Collect the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Run left past the blue pipe, and have R.O.B. switch from the blue actuator and back to the red one.  When the red pipe is down, continue left and collect the last dynamite.

Phase 10
It's actually fairly easy to squash the Smicks in this stage if they happen to get trapped in the hole beneath the first blue pipe.
 * 1) Press the blue actuator and run to the right across the blue pipe to fall down and grab the first dynamite.  You may wish to grab the radish if Smicks are coming in your direction.
 * 2) When it is safe to climb up the rope, do so. Press the red actuator.  Stand on the red pipe to the left.  Release the red actuator, and begin to rise with the pipe.  At the last minute, jump off to the right and grab the second dynamite.
 * 3) Press the red actuator once again, and run to the left to collect the next dynamite.
 * 4) Release the red actuator and press the blue actuator so that you can stand on the blue pipe.  Ride it back up by releasing the blue actuator.  Stand on the red pipe to the right, and press the red actuator again.  Ride the pipe down and grab the rope to the left, climb down and collect the fourth dynamite.
 * 5) Return to the red pipe and continue to the right to the far rope.  Climb all the way to the ceiling, and fall off to the left to collect the fifth dynamite.
 * 6) Continue to the left, climb up the rope and traverse over the gap to reach the other side and collect the last dynamite.
