Sam & Max: Season 2 Hints

How do I get Superball to give me a patent?

  • 1 of 6: First you need to know why you need one. Go visit Stinky's Place - 1980 to see what's shaking.
  • 2 of 6: If you talk to Superball about getting a patent, he says he needs a sample of the item in question and a description of the specific ingredient you want to patent.
  • 3 of 6: Getting a sample of the tar cake is relatively easy. Go to Stinky's Place - 1980 and use the chemical sampler on the cake. Voila!
  • 4 of 6: To learn the name of the ingredient, go back to the place where you learned about StinkyCorp.
  • 5 of 6: Go to The Office - 2108 and read the poster on the bulletin board. You can also talk to Future Max if you want to learn more about the way this works.
  • 6 of 6: Once you have a sample of tar cake and the name of the ingredient (Bitumen 13, but the game won't let you use this info till you read it on the poster), come back to Superball and he'll give you the patent you need.
