Freddi Fish 5: The Case of the Creature of Coral Cove Walkthrough

[@TheFrdw]

My grandmother just passed from covid and left me a set of journals she wrote while I was growing up. She mentioned I was playing this game in one and seeing this really brought me back to being 5, running around her house and playing on my grandfather's computer. Thanks for putting this up.

[@joshhorn8283]

I’m so sorry about that!❤

[@TamenishDragon]

My childhood right here.

[@sparklingrose6603]

Mine too! I loved the twisted ending but I think there's only 2 different game versions for this one unlike games 2, 3 and 4. And, 1. There were more game combinations than just this one but I'm used to the other one I feel with the compass and getting the girl's bracelet back to fix the claw machine. Just because I never finished the taffy game ending before. I guess it confused me but it makes sense now.

I really like how Mayor Marlin seems like a stereotypical 'cares more about his image than anything else' mayor at first, but then proves to be a good mayor by trusting a kid detective to solve the mystery (not everyone would) and bringing the right culprit to justice.

[@sparklingrose6603]

True and I appreciate the mystery solving

Here are three things I like about this game: how advanced it is when compared to the previous ones (meaning you get to enjoy the game longer), how Mayor Marlin is a good and fair politician (even though he seems a bit vain), and that the sea monster Duncan turns out to be a really nice good guy.

Marty is the only evil fish in the entire series. The Squid father and the sharks just needed a little help; all 6 of those suspects felt guilty; The Hogfish Rustlers just wanted to become Hogfish Ranchers; and this Marty fish is greedy and planned to destroy the deed.

I know we went down this road before several years ago, but as far as I know, Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise is actually the final Junior Adventure game. Technically, this was the last Junior Adventure game to developed by all the people from the original HE team, so it would make more sense if you would call this game how I'm describing it now in the description.

I thought Travels Through Time came out after that game. That wouldn't make any sense to the order I got them in my childhood

[@bball33g]

I loved this game (not as much as the case of the stolen conch shell but that's because it was my first computer game). I remember that this game was certainly a challenge because it required multiple elements from multiple places. It's too bad they stopped making games like this. And it's worse because no one has updated these games to be played on an mac running OSX. Being able to play some of them on an iPhone/android is okay but nothing replaces playing them on a computer. It's been 10 years since I played these games :(

[@HumongousSoundtracks]

The voices weren't different, their recording setups were just different (same voice actors are credited as all the five previous games). Also, the environment and the characters were fine. And I really don't see what's wrong with the music. The fourth game was way more boring than this one IMO mostly because the scenery was pretty dull. I don't think change is a bad thing either. In fact, the lack of change is what ultimately led to HE's bankruptcy!

[@sparklingrose6603]

True, I feel an agreeing to that about the fourth game over this one but I still like them all now I know I beat them all in lots of game versions because they were fun and worth my time.

[@HumongousSoundtracks]

Because if you stay the same forever, it gets too formulaic and you get tired of playing the same game. Ron Gilbert, the founder of the company, had once stated when he was making Monkey Island and using graphics instead of text (text adventures were still prominent), people were complaining he was "ruining the art of text". No joke. As he stated, if he had listened to them he would have never been a success. But he "changed what wasn't broken", and look what came out of it.

[@skylerlindquist8241]

This just flooded my mind with memories from my childhood 🥹

[@MWolfL]

Guess what, I was looking at the tropes for Freddi Fish and I found out that according to the manual Gillian really was Gil Barker in disguise! Given that he was a suspect and possibly the actual thief in the last two games, I'm not surprised.

[@HumongousSoundtracks]

That's...not actually true. The manual says nothing about it or even implies it. Word-for-word, her description: "Look past her hair and her make-up and you may recognize a familiar Barker! In past Freddi Fish adventures, Gill Barker has sold everything from carnival tickets to wheel nuts. Now his twin sister, Gillian Barker, is barking up Coral Cove Park with her Planktos and Super-Fantastic Elastic Glue." Nothing in there even remotely implies it's a case of crossdressing.

[@MWolfL]

Really? That's odd, here's the very trope I was referring to: Creepy Crossdresser: It's heavily implied, at least in the manual, that Gill Barker's twin sister Gillian from the fifth game is actually Gill himself in drag. While Gillian is never antagonistic, the fact that Gill was a potential culprit in the previous two games probably has something to do with why he now travels in disguise.

[@HumongousSoundtracks]

TV Tropes is a heavily unsupervised wiki based on whatever random people consider things to fit. Take it with a grain of salt.

[@MWolfL]

Humongous Fan Soundtracks Ah. I mean I already knew it was a Wiki and Wikis can be altered by almost anyone, but considering the info that's on that site you'd think the people behind it would do a better job of making sure everything's accurate and true. Maybe they should hire people to do that for them. Sheesh, whoever included the Creepy Crossdresser Trope must've either misread the manual or wanted Gillian to be Gil in disguise instead of his twin sister. If it's the second one then they should've just stuck with writing a fanfic about it.

The third and fourth FF games are my favorite haha :P I don't think the music is bad in any way at all, but it seems to me like such a transition from the music from the older games. I dont know why though? And they didn't seem to keep any of the characters I knew and loved haha

[@sparklingrose6603]

I love this version but I never finished the ending. I was better at the version of the game with the Compass and the bracelet with a few of the fish. Fixing the claw and in charge of map swapping when Mars leaves in the other game but not this one for her expedition. The getting of the compass was a little complicated to me but really fun! Not too hard but maybe for kids even though it wasn't shown here if you didn't know what you were doing.

[@birdofprey1266]

1:15 lol, I remember my sister starting this game for the second time and she was like "I don't want to go into the crowd but I don't have any other option" and I showed her that the escape button allows you to skip the cutscene so she didn't have to watch it all

[@gibbybree6314]

I played this as a kid. Now I have to ridicule it with joyous commentary and jokes. 1. Now I remember why I'm obsessed with picking up sea urchins. 2. I checked this game out of the library for 5 years and not once did I come to the conclusion that Freddie was a girl. 3. How many actors were jealous of the depressed clown's actor because he never had to emote? 4. Did I really need a game's dialogue to talk that slow for my puny developing brain to comprehend? 5. The game creators must have had a lot of confidence in the little babu's playing this to expect them to keep track of this giant breadcrumb trail of finding an irrelevant item and backtracking to whoever told us to get it. 6. Everyone in this game kept telling me to get them things. Now I can't talk to someone without trying to give them something. If they don't ask me for anything, I sneak whatever I have on me into their pockets. 7. I crave toffee whenever I think of it. Maybe it's because I never had toffee in the house when I played this game and now I have to eat it for the sake of 4-year-old-me's sanity. (And now... a prediction of the future.) "Ok, kids! Time to relive my childhood for me!" *"But we want to go outside!"* "Outside is for weaklings who can't go a few weeks without sunlight, not PRESS THE GODDAMN PLAY BUTTON."
