Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When does Detective Gumshoe debut?

Answer: "Turnabout Sisters"

Gumshoe is the detective who responds to the police call when Mia Fey is found dead. He does not appear in "The First Turnabout".

Answer: Pal

Everyone is a "pal" as far as Gumshoe is concerned, whether it's his boss, Damon Gant or Phoenix Wright.

3. Gumshoe, as the police detective, is called to the witness stand a whole lot during the "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney" trilogy. How many trials does Gumshoe take the stand during?

Answer: Nine

Gumshoe's last appearance in a court case comes in "Recipe to the Turnabout". He does not appear in court during "Bridge to the Turnabout", but he at least has a consistent presence in general throughout that episode.

Answer: "Turnabout Samurai"

Phoenix and Maya have confronted and are questioning Dee Vasquez, who would eventually be found guilty for murdering Jack Hammer. They managed to back her into a figurative corner, when she called henchmen to make sure Phoenix and Maya could not do anything to her legally.

It's then where Gumshoe shows up, kicks down the door to the room they're in and arrests Vasquez on the spot, as he heard everything she had to say when being questioned.

5. In "Turnabout Goodbyes", Miles Edgeworth is the defendant. He has lost pretty much the entirety of the police department's support. Here, does Gumshoe initially believe Edgeworth is guilty?

Answer: No

Gumshoe passionately decides to stand by Edgeworth, and he is likely the only police officer who believes Edgeworth didn't do it. He ends up being the one to convince Edgeworth to allow Phoenix to defend him.

Answer: Chief of Police's office

Only those with executive ID badges can get into Damon Gant's office. As detective, Gumshoe is one of such people. Phoenix, Maya and Gumshoe did get caught by Gant, who immediately fired Gumshoe on the spot. He did, however, get his job back in the end when Gant was found guilty of murder.

7. In "Turnabout Memories", Mia Fey gets to cross examine a young Detective Gumshoe. We find out that this is Gumshoe's first time testifying in court as a detective. How old is he here?

Answer: 26

A recurring theme throughout the story is that characters are in roles for which they are unrealistically young; Franziska von Karma is the most notable example, as she began a career in law at the stupidly low age of 13. Yet, Gumshoe's age relative to his role is probably among the only that actually makes some degree of sense, as he claimed to have spent a few years as a police officer before becoming a detective at 26.

This is definitely younger than average, but not to a ludicrous extent.

Answer: Show her his gun

On multiple occasions, Gumshoe invited Pearl to see his gun. As she is an eight year old, this is obviously a terrible idea. It's clearly done for comedic relief.

9. We found out in "Recipe to the Turnabout" that Gumshoe has a love interest. Who is Gumshoe interested in?

Answer: Maggey Byrde

In this episode, Gumshoe reluctantly is forced to take the stand and attempt to implicate Byrde for a murder. Because of his attachment, he does basically beg Phoenix to find a contradiction in his investigation, so that Gumshoe doesn't have to contribute to getting his love interest locked up.

10. For a very brief period in "Bridge to the Turnabout", Gumshoe takes on a new role as far as progressing the game goes. In what function does he briefly serve?

Answer: Assistant to the player

Up to this point, the player has always had an assistant of some kind. This has usually been Maya Fey, but has also been Ema Skye, Pearl Fey, Maggey Byrde and, during the first investigation, Detective Gumshoe. The player briefly plays as Miles Edgeworth when Phoenix becomes ill, and while this happens, Gumshoe is Edgeworth's assistant.
