Jump right over the gap when the block isn't impeding your path, and use the start power up attack to attack the oncoming enemies with projectiles. The floating words aren't your friends. Head right and hop over the remaining car enemies. Head right and hop over the dog that's the source of the floating words. Keep moving right and hop over the little gap. Be careful with the timing, or you'll take a dive. You'll soon come across car enemies. Don't jump over them just yet. Hesitate a little, as they brake before speeding your way, in an attempt to get you to touch them. Keep grabbing the stars you come across and head right. Head right towards the blocks with the words 'EXE' and shoot the stack of cards and the other enemies in the vicinity. Head right towards the next gap with the bird enemy. Take it out, and let the vehicles up top move to the left, then quickly head up the line and climb it. Head right and take out the stack of cards, then move up and climb your way through. Be careful as you make your way right towards the dog enemy, then platform across the pillars to the right. Keep moving past the 'EE's, and fire upon any enemies that impede your path. As you keep moving right, there will be a clown on a ball, hopping. Time your jump to move through the space as the clown jumps, and head right towards the next batch. Keep heading right, and you should see some melodies (lethal) followed by the head of a bear. Keep moving right towards the present box. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ----------- STAGE 2 ----------- Head right and hop over the robots. Head right and watch for the two protruding arms. Shoot the robots that jump and move through the spaces of the ones that you can. Head right on the conveyor belt, and watch for the falling structure. Head right and move through the descending platforms. Don't fall down through the opening platforms. Time your jumps. Head right towards the next batch of columns, and arms through the conveyor belt. There will be rapidly moving platforms to hop over. Head right and swing through the platforms to get towards the robot that shoots at you. Move right and watch for the falling columns again. Move right over the platforms and climb up the right bars. Keep moving right and avoid the robotic insect enemy. Be really careful as you make the final push to end the level. There will be electric currents protruding from the ground. Take your time and head right to complete the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ------------ STAGE 3 ------------ Head right and watch out for the annoying squids. Hop over the dancing zombies, and rush right. There will be sporadic moving green platforms to hop over. Avoid the plants and falling objects, and you'll come across a rather obscene zombie. Don't judge, it's only doing that to get through college. Head right avoiding the falling objects and you'll have to jump over another scandalous zombie. Head right and over the enemies. Be weary of the flying squirrels. Head all the way right and take the lift up. Head right over the organic platforms, and watch out for the zombie. Let the flowers pass, and then swing to the next platform. You'll have to watch your timing to get through the green moving enemies. Watch their patterns and jump through. Head past the guys with spears, and don't try to make the jump. Wait for the ground to extend, then hurry over. Rush right to the pumpkin, while avoiding the enemies to complete the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ----------- STAGE 4 ----------- This level will test your jumping prowess. Watch for the patterns of the aquatic enemies, and jump through. It gets a little harder when there are numerous amounts of them bunched up, but it's doable. Head down into the water, and fire away at the the enemies that get in your way. Watch for the electric manrays. Keep heading right along the path, watching for the sea anemones, then move up when you're able to. Watch for the bony fish. Though there are numerous enemies on screen, if you take your time, you should be able to get through them without getting hit. Just pay attention to the patterns. Rush right along the narrow path with the numerous enemies while avoiding the large jelly fish and bony fish. Keep a level head and keep moving, and you'll complete the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ------------- STAGE 5 ------------- Run right and jump over the dinosaurs and gaps. The little jumping enemies may be a little harder to jump through, but that's basically what you'll have to do. Eventually, you'll move through moving platforms. Be careful, as some of them lead you to your death. The stair way of platforms will lead you to a cave like area. Watch for the moving pillars, and make sure you take note of the timing, to avoid a swift death. There will be other obstacles to move through. When you get to a slope, keep running, as there will be a boulder right behind you. Keep moving through and hopping over the other obstructions until you get to the balloons. Grab on and move up and away from the boulder to continue the level. Let the letters pass you buy, and then hop over the dinosaur. You'll come across a larger one to the right that opens and closes its mouth. When its mouth is closed, head on and over it to the right. Keep moving and you'll be done with the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ----------- STAGE 6 ----------- Head right, and you'll soon notice numerous jumping enemies. Time your jumping and head right over them and the platforms. This part can be simple if you know the timing, but otherwise, it's fairly difficult. Move right past the stalagmite like things and then move right through the moving pillars. Head through, and note that those things that are swinging are not to be hung onto. Avoid them, and then head right over the weird pulsating things. Let the hopping enemies pass right over you as you move right. Get into the right position and let them move over you. Jumping will just result in pain. Move right past the falling objects, and you'll have to be quick, but careful over the falling/disappearing platforms. Move right and avoid the easily avoidable floating objects. The next batch of yellow enemies SHOULD be jumped over. However when you move up and down the zig zag, you'll just need to move straight. Head right over the last set of obstacles and you'll be done with the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ ---------- STAGE 7 ---------- Head right over the words, and in turn, over the dinosaurs. Move through the gap and avoid the meteors. Keep moving right through the obstacles, and the meteors should just miss you. You'll come across the scandalous zombie again. Move right of our little friend, and jump over the first robot. Let the second one jump over you, then move through and time your jumps (and theirs) as the next batch comes down the higher level cliff. To the right, you'll see a robotic insect up top. The ground below it, you'll realize that the flooring can be tramplinish....if that's a word. Use this to your advantage, and then move right past the other enemies. There will be moving ascending platforms to jump over, and once you've got that out of the way, you'll have to avoid a lot of falling projectiles. Move right, and be careful, as things will get more hectic. There will be numerous enemies along with platforms to traverse. If you don't get thrown off track by some of their patterns, you should be able to get to the next segment without too much difficulty. There will be steel structures with flames occasionally coming out from the sides. They move, sos keep note of that. Move through the meteor littered staircase and head through the next set of enemies. You don't have much of a distance to go now to complete the level. _________ .____ ___________ _____ __________._. \_ ___ \| | \_ _____/ / _ \\______ \ | / \ \/| | | __)_ / /_\ \| _/ | \ \___| |___ | \/ | \ | \\| \______ /_______ \/_______ /\____|__ /____|_ /__ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ That last level is technically the final level in the game, however, after completing the initial levels, the game tasks you with repeating the levels from the beginning to complete the game 100%. As you've gone as far as you have, recanting the strategies from the past levels will suffice in terms of beating them. (As you've already done so). If you want to read the guide in succession, I will re post the previous levels again. Any tweaks to the level is damage, and spacing wise, so the initial level guides are still sufficient. --------- STAGE 1-2 --------- Head right and hop over the first card enemy.
