Namco Museum Essentials

NOTE: All the power-ups come at random I'm just suggesting where they come the most often and where you have the best chance of finding them. You can get any power-up in any Area.

Earthquake: Collect the Earthquake power-up. It destroys any ground enemies on the screen which is a real help when bullets are flying everywhere. It is mostly found in Area 3 and is dropped randomly by enemies.

Fire Breath: Collect the Fire Breath power-up. This is a very easy stamp to get. When you obtain this your dragon becomes green, and will shoot flames similar to level 3 flames. The Fire Breath power-up can easily be gotten when you get to Area 2. It's randomly dropped by enemies.

Homing Fire: Collect the Homing Fire power-up. When gotten your dragon becomes gold, and his flames will home in on any enemies on screen. This is another easy power-up to come by. I get is in Area 1 almost every time. There is a group of birds that explode into feathers and the last bird in the group drops a power-up. About 80% of the time it is Homing Fire. Remember to dodge the feathers as they do damage. Ill also look for an image of the power-up.

Incubation: Collect the Incubation power-up. You get this in Area 2. It is dropped randomly by enemies and is a pink circle. Run into the power-up to get the stamp.

Power Down: Collect the Power Down power-up. Unfortunately when you get this power-up it counts as a hit. I found easiest to find in Area 4. It is dropped randomly there a lot by enemies.

Power Wing: Collect the Power Wing power-up. This power-up can be easily obtained in Area 2 and is dropped randomly by enemies. Your wings have reds waves coming off of them when you have this power-up. When you have this power-up any enemies flying into you will be instantly killed. Run into the power-up to get the stamp.

Small Dragon: Collect the Small Dragon power-up. When gotten you dragon becomes smaller and it is much easier to dodge things. This first becomes a normal power-up in Area 2 and is dropped randomly by enemies.

Wide Fire: Collect the Wide Fire power-up. When gotten your dragon becomes white, and will shoot flames similar to anti-aircraft fire. You can get this in any stage but i found it easiest in Stage 4. It is dropped randomly by enemies.

Small and Wide: Collect the Small Dragon, followed by Wide Fire without getting hit. This is probably the most frustrating stamp in Dragon Spirit. You will need to have both the Small Dragon and Wide Fire power-ups on at the same time. Once you get one of the power-ups make sure you don't get hit as you will lose it. Get one power-up and then just kill every flashing enemy you see and hope that they drop the other power-up. Easily the best spot is in area 4. After the first checkpoint you get you will see 2 flashing porcupines. The one on the left drops small pretty often and wide much more often. Then you come across 2 more porcupines side by side. The one on the right drops wide pretty often. A little bit more flying will bring you to a flashing bird which often drops small. These of course do not happen every time but it's certainly the best place to get it.

Maximum - Successfully get 3 heads and 6 fire power orbs without getting hit. You will notice while flying that there are red eggs on the ground. Shoot them to make them give you a fire orb power up. You need to run into the orb to get the power up. Once you get three of them your fire attack gets much better. You will also see blue eggs on the ground. Shoot them and they release blue orbs which give you more heads when you run into them. Once you pick up 6 fire power orbs and 2 blue orbs you will have three heads, an awesome fire attack and have the requirements for the stamp. If you get hit once though you one of your heads and a level of your fire attack. If you had 2 fire orbs and one away from a power up you will still keep your fire orbs though.

Over The Jungle - Get to the Jungle Area. The Jungle Area is Area 3. You must complete Area 3 for the stamp. In Area 3 you will notice frogs in the ground that pop out of holes and shoot you. For these enemies you want to stay farther away from them as their bullets spread out the further they go. Sometimes it's better just to dodge the first bullets they shoot and then just fly behind them as they can't shoot backwards. Another enemy in this Area is a version of the birds in Area 1. Once you shoot them they explode into green feathers, which when the background is green they can be tough to see. Also if you don't kill them fast enough they shoot missiles at you. They move very rapidly and you will need some great reflexes to dodge them. Near the end of the Area you'll see grey spiked vines grow. You will need to shoot them to make an opening for you to pass through. Finally at the end of the Area there is a boss. The boss shoot flower pedals out from the top of it. To destroy it you will need to kill all the flowers surrounds the main flower. Once you destroy the boss you beat the Area and get the stamp.

Endurance: Successfully survive against a boss under a timed limit without killing him. This is easily done on the first boss. At the end of Area 1 you come to your first boss. His attacks are not very good. He just shoots fireballs in your general direction. The farther along you get in the fight the more fireballs he shoots and the faster they go. This is really not a challenge at all though. Once lightning balls start coming from the sky you can kill him. After you defeat him you will get the stamp.

The easiest stamps for Dragon Spirit Rookie are Endurance, Maximum, Homing Fire and Incubation.
