Read the boss strategies if you are having trouble. Stage 2 ----- - Mini Map- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Boss| | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | |H | H = Heart Power-up | | | | | | | | | | |Start| ----- Go up the ladders and kill some apes. On the left there is a heart power up. Get it. Now continue up. Watch out because owls fly out of trees. Also, if the trees open their mouth, don't get sucked in. Now once you get up, go right. Now, in the next part, hit the plants to make them go forward. Shoot upward to kill beatles, and don't let the owls steal the plants. At the end, get the heart. Now continue by jumping on logs. Watch out, the darker ones fall. When you get to the bridge, switch to bat and charge up. Walk until the second fish jumps. Now let go, trnasforming into a bat to fly across the rest of the bridge. Now continue over two smaller bridges to get to the boss. Stage 3 ----- - Mini Map- ---------------------------- | To B | |Start | ---------------------------- 'b' through 'f' is a representation of the roller coaster _____ _____ B / \ / \ --- --------- | | | | \ / \ | | | | \ / \ | | | | \ / \ \ / \ / To C \ / ------\---/-------\---/------ --------- C zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (z indicates where zeus appears) -------- / \ / \ / \ ---- \ / \ / \ / \ / \ _____ _____ / \ / \ / \ ------- | | | | \ | | | | \ | | | | \ \ / \ / To D -------\---/ ----\---/------- D zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ----------------------------- To E \ ----------------------------- \ / \ / \ ---------------- \ / \ / \ / \ / --------- E zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ------------- ----------- ---------------------------------- \ ----------------------- \ to f F ------ / \ _____ to g / / \ / ------- | | / / \ | | / \ / / --------------------| -----\---/--- G ----------------------------------- roller coaster ends (_O') | *BOSS | _O' | | v | kid dracula falls to here-> * | ----------------------------------- Go forward and onto clouds. Shoot upward to kill the witches. Go on two sets of clouds. One that goes up, and one that goes down. Now to... the rollar coaster! Here's what the rollar coaster does (follow directions!). It goes down, jump over a turtle. It goes up again, jump over another turtle. It goes down and into two loops. At the beginning of the second loop, duck under a bird. Now zeus appears, dodge him until he leaves and then it goes into loops again. At the top of the second loop duck. The rollar coaster goes down, then it goes up. Stay still on the front car of the rollar coaster. Zeus blows up the back car. Now he is above you. Move to the side of the car that zeus is on (ex. If he is to your left, go to the left edge of the car and duck) and duck. Now he will fall behind you and then he will fly back never to be seen again. Now the rollar coaster takes a small dip. Jump over a turtle. The rc (rollar coaster) jumps, duck! Another jump, jump over the turtle, one last jump, duck! Now the rollar coaster will fall. When it is under the other rc jump up onto it. The last loop. At the top of it, duck to avoida UFO. Now stay still and you will go flying. When you land you will be at the boss. Stage 4 ----- - Mini Map- This level consists of four areas a,b,c,d that would be represented by four straight lines, therefore there is not need for a mini map. You are on a boat. Watch out for cannons and use your normal power to kill the mini-reapers. This part is simple. Once you are in the next part. Kill the skeleton and then get on the platform once it comes down so you can go across. Repeat this again and then switch to bat power. Now wait for the platform to go up and then quickly fly under. Repeat this and then dodge barrels and go to the next area. Jump on the bridge to go down. Now use upsidedown power to get up. Now go down another bridge. Cross the gap to get a heart power. Now go up using upsidedown and cross the spikes with bat. Go down the bridge, right and into the next area. Go left to meet the boss. Stage 5 ----- - Mini Map- ----- |boss | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't care if it IS a straight line anymore! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----- When you start out, get on the platform. In this level you will not be able to use upsidedown or bat powers. Jump off the platform and onto another one because they keep sinking. This level is short but pretty hard. You will get the hang of it though. Just keep jumping. If you see a robot just jump onto the platform he is on but quickly before you land, shoot him. Also there are astronaughts you might have to kill. When you get to the top, kill a lot of UFO's and get ready for the boss! Stage 6 ----- - Mini Map- ------------------------------------- | | | to b| ------------------------------------- ---------------------------- | | |b to c | ---------------------------- ------------ | | | boss| ------------ The first part of this level is pretty hard. Use your upsidedown power to get around the lava in the beginning. But be careful. There will be lava on the ceiling in a while. If this happens then you can just jump over when the lava rings are not active. After this part. Take out your umbrella. Go forward and if a volcano explodes, get under the umbrella. If there is a fire horse, just walk forward and kill him with the umbrella. After this you will be at the boss. Stage 7 ----- - Mini Map- -------------------------------------- | | | | | to b | -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- | | |b | | to boss| -------------------------------------- When you start out you will have to kill these mining guys. It's kind of easy. Just watch out because the ceiling falls. The next part is where the trouble's at. You have to use your bomb, quickly because these rows of blocks are going up and down, make to holes to get through. Practice a little before attempting to make it through. Now the ceiling is trying to crush you! Duck into the spaces but inn some you have to use your bomb to make room. After this you're home free! Well... after you beat the boss that is. Stage 8 (Final Stage) ----- - Mini Map- -------------------------------------- ----- | | |to c | | | | | --- | | H | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to b | |b | ---------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | |c boss | --------------------------------------------------------------------- This stage is pretty hard. Probably because it's the final stage. In the first part, go over and the screen will start chasing you down. Keep going down but make sure not to go off the screen because you die. Before you go down a step, check to make sure there aren't spikes on both sides. If there are, go a different way, but fast. When it stops, go right and kill some robots to get to the next part. In this part get onto the hover belts to go up. Keep getting on and off to go slower so you can see whats ahead of you. Always have your bat power charged up so you can get off the belt, if there's a spike, and fly somewhere else. Try to get the heart power up, although it's pretty hard. After that just stick to the middle belt. But be ready to get off to go to the next part. In the next part. Look above you to see if a drill is falling or not. You can see this because there eyes move faster than normal. After that part don't go to fast because the floor can sometimes dissapear. Next just walk and don't stop until there is ceiling again so the drills won't hit you. Uh-Oh someones mistaken you for Sigourney Weaver. Kill him with your normal power. But your not done yet. Get out your umbrella and keep walking forward (don't stop). Now at the end of that, put away your umbrella and make room for the final boss. If you need help, look at the boss strategies section. Good Luck! *********************************************************************** -=Ability List=- +Remember that to switch abilities you have to press select. +To use an ability you have to hold the attack button then let it go. Normal ------ Just shoots a bigger more powerful fire ball. You start with this ability. Bat Transformation --- -------------- You get to be a bat that can fly around for only five seconds, but, you can't shoot anything. You start with this ability. Bat Attack --- ------ You shoot a chain of bats in front of you that circles around you and comes back. You get this ability after completing the first level. Homing ------ Releases about 8 fire balls that follow your enemy. You get this ability after completing the second level. Upside Down ------ ---- You may walk on the ceiling for five seconds. You get this ability after beating the third level. Bomb ---- Allows you to shoot a bomb that can destroy certain blocks. You get this ability after beating the fourth level. Umbrella -------- Allows you to use an umbrella as a shield from projectiles. You get this ability after beating the fourth level. *********************************************************************** -=Boss Strategies=- Ghosts ------ When the little ghost comes out, he starts jumping up and down. Just charge up and let it go at the moment he comes down so it will hit him. Then he starts walking back and forth so jump over him. When he runs away crying, a bigger ghost will come out. Do the same thing but this time you have to jump over fire balls. Now comes grandpa ghost. You can't hit him with your fire balls and he doesn't jump eitheir. Just jump over him as he walks by and then after a while he will just fall down. Jason ----- At first, Jason comes out of the cabin to get his axe out of the tree, jump over him and then throw everything you got at him while he is pulling his axe out. Now he will walk back and forth. Jump over him and shoot him. When he lifts up his axe, move back so you don't get hit. Now he comes out with a gun. Stand under him then move away so he shoots downward. Now jump up and throw fire balls at the roof. He will shoot twice and then jump down, so move back. Now he doesn't shoot he just walks back and forth until he goes into his cabin to go on the roof again. Just jump over him and don't get too close. He will be dead soon. Chicken! -------- This guy is pretty hard. Get out your homing missle and start charging up to shoot at him. Try to always be far away from him because he lets out eggs that form to little chickens. If you see him stop and you are right under him, get in the middle of the two eggs and then jump over them. When you take out the chicken, an egg comes. It just bounces up and down. Shoot it until it falls and starts to crack. Now get away and be prepared because two chickens will fly each way. Kill the chicken that flies your way and then you're done. Scythe Wielder and Robot ------ ------- --- ----- For the first part, switch to the bat attack. The scythe weilder will fly back and forth and then throw out a scythe. When he does this, jump over the scythe and shoot him with your bat attack. Only six hits of this kills him! Now for the robot. Switch to your upsidedown attack. Now go to the right hand side of the screen and duck. Go upside down, duck and shoot about four bullets and then go back down. This is because he shoots out a laser, when you duck his hand won't get you but his laser will. Repeat this process. Always remember that when you are on the ground you have to duck. Alien! ------ For his first form switch to the bat attack. Always charge up when you aren't already. Stand next to him and use it while always ducking to avoid his laser beam. Then he will jump over you. Repeat this process. For his second form, switch to your normal attack. He will walk across the screen, at which point you should go all the way to the right, then he will walk back and throw three bombs. Keep to the left for the first two and when he throws the third one, jump over it. Now shoot at his head when it comes out. When he is destroyed he will come out of his ship. Just throw a fire ball at him and he will die. Fire Horse ---- ----- For this boss use your normal attack. Stand in the middle. Three tiles in the floor get lower and then the fire horse will come from the right side of the screen running and then run upward once he gets to the left side of the screen and then fly off leaving a little horse. Here's what to do. When he is not on the screen always stand in the middle because you don't know which tile will go down. If the middle tile goes down you don't have to move. Just charge up and shoot him then duck as he rides over you. If the left tile goes down then go to it and shoot him twice if you have time and then duck. If the right tile comes down, duck immediately and charge up. When he passes you shoot him. After one of these three things happen, stand on the left side to shoot the little fire horse that comes down and then go back to the middle again. If you can get this pattern down, then you will be able to beat this guy without getting hit. Robot ----- At first, all you have to do is shoot a bomb at the wall so a block will fly over and hit the robot. The robot will do the same to you so watch out. Next a ladder will drop down. Scale up and down it while shooting bombs and dodging the robots blocks. This boss isn't very hard but it is pretty fun. Lord Garamoth ---- -------- The final boss. His first form, he goes around and then he shoots out two lighting bolts as he moves around, then he shoots a diagonal lightning bolt and then he opens his mouth and waits a moment and shoots a fire ball straight down. You should always be under him. As he moves, you move, that way you avoid his double lightning attack. When you see only one ball, this indicates he will do his diagonal lightning attack. When this happens, go to the side where you see the ball. Then when the lightning goes away, run under him and shoot a bomb, or a normal shot, upward. His second form. He will come down from the sky. Always go to the side of the screen. He just jumps up and down. He has three different jumps. One that is so short that you can only make it under him if you have perfect timing. The second one is a normal jump that gives you a moment to get under. The last one is a huge jump from one side of the screen to another. When he does his jump (type #3), he opens his mouth, this is your chance to shoot a bomb or a normal shot upward to do some damage. Try to figure out his pattern quickly so that you can make it under those small jumps! Good luck! *********************************************************************** -=Passwords=- Level 2-5613 3-3272 4-7283 5-5346 6-7225 7-5539 8-7158 *********************************************************************** -=FAQ's=- Nobody has asked me any questions yet. If you have a question, email me to ask it at: religi0usaustria@netscape.net (the 0 is a ZERO) *********************************************************************** -=Mini Games=- Between every level a witch asks you if you want to play some games. There are two types of games life games, and the coin game. To get coins for games just kill enemies, each enemy gives you a coin. The Coin Game- |8|16|24|32|80| <- The bets are set up as follows |6|12|18|24|60| |4|8 |12|16|40| |2|4 |6 |8 |20| |-|--|--|--|--| |2|4 |6 |8 |* | You can choose from five categories, and each categorie has four levels you can bet on. The first level costs 2 coins, the second, 4, the third, 6 and the last costs 8. Each category corresponds to a number on the board. For example, there are four twos on the board. So if you bet on the second level of two (4) and the spinner lands on the same category (2). You win 4 coins. Each category is harder than the next because there are less squares of that category on the board. If the spinner lands on zero, you don't win anything. Place your bet and choose start! Good Luck! Life Games- The witch has four crystal balls which have a letter. The letters correspond to four different games. She will mix them up and then ask you which you want. The one you choose is the one you play. Each game costs ten coins. A- Grab bat B- Stick Em C- RPS D- Jump and Pop Grab Bat- You have a limited time to catch bats with a net. For every five you get, the number of lives you get doubles. 5 bats- 1 live 10 bats- 2 lives 15 bats- 4 lives and so on Stick Em- Put as many swords into a skeleton before his head pops off. 4 swords- 1 live 8 swords- 2 lives 12 swords- 4 lives and so on RPS (Rock Paper Scissors)- Choose R,P or S and press A. If you beat him. Press A or B to attack and get a point. If you lose press down or left to defend. If you attack when he won, he wins the round. If he wins twice the game ends. If you win five times the game ends. At the end of the game you get a 1up for each round you won. The max lives you can win is 5. Jump and Pop- Press A and B when you land to jump up again. Hit ballons to get lives. I think the scoring is the same as in Grab Bat but I'm not sure. You have 30 seconds. *********************************************************************** -=Contact=- Here's how to get ahold of me. Me being R0CKv1LLAN.
