You can play as either the titular Mickey Mouse, or his eternal girlfriend Minnie Mouse (there are no differences between the two, beside aesthetics). The game is split into five stages, which consist of three levels each. As you advance forward in each stage, you will encounter enemies who will walk forward, and will injure Mickey or Minnie if the player-character is touched by an enemy, who start out with three hearts of health before they lose a life. To defeat them, the avatar can pick up boxes scattered throughout the stage and throw them at one's foes to eliminate them. Some boxes are marked with a ? mark, which have treasure inside them. Four crystal balls are also littered throughout each stage, usually found in treasure boxes. If you collect all four from each stage, you can also obtain an extra life from this. There is no precise point system. The two mice can collect Star Points which grants an extra life when 100 are collected, but that is about it, along with other items that regenerate the health of the mice or give them extra lives. On the bottom of the player's screen are four icons. These are what is represented by each of them: Hearts - The health Mickey or Minnie Mouse has. One hit from an enemy will knock out one heart Star - The number of Star points the player has, up to 100 before gaining a new life P - The number of lives left to the player O - Indicates the number of crystal orbs in the stage that the player has located Controls -------- Left/Right - Move in the left/right directions +A - Jump in that direction +B - Pick up, throw a box in that direction Down - Crouch +B - Throw a box while crouched, +A - Step off a ledge Up - Move up while holding onto a balloon +B - Throw a box straight upward A - Jump B - Grab a box, throw a box Items ----- Black Star - Grants 1 Star Point White Star - Grants 5 Star Points Blinking Star - Grants a full extra life Heart - Recovers a single Heart Blinking Heart - Restores Mickey/Minnie back to full health Vase - Gives your character temporary invulnerability Crystal Balls - Collect all four in a stage for an extra chance ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage One -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STG1] Level One --------- From the start, jump onto the top-most of the three blocks, then jump up as high as you can to the left. Open the treasure box up here for your first Crystal Ball. March right and grab one of the three blocks, and toss it at the dog walking around shortly thereafter. Continue on: ignore the treasure box at the end for a couple of seconds, and grab another box to eliminate another incoming dog foe over yonder. It should be noted that you cannot backtrack in the level, so be sure not to scroll ahead in the screen so that the treasure box disappears. Break open the treasure box to collect a Crystal Ball, then take another box and throw it at the next dog as you continue. Jump onto the upper ledge with the dog walking around, and leap into the air to grab some Star Points. Hop over the canine and then the enemy walking around on two feet before your Mouse begins to go downwards. Grab a block on the ground and throw it at the dog wandering on top of the boxpile, then break open the treasure box by jumping and then pressing B while leaning into it for your third Crystal Ball. Pick up another box, then jump up to the left via a series of ledges, eliminating another dog, until you make it to the rooftop. Head right on the rooftop while jumping to grab some Star Points, and fall off down to the ground at the end while grabbing a White Star, worth 5 Star Points. Take the upper ledge as you proceed right so you can jump over the dog. When you see the treasure boxes, if you wish to grab them, press Down + A for Mickey or Minnie to drop down to the lower floor (they contain a Star Point and Heart). When you continue on, make sure to go to the upper path to give yourself jump clearance. Once you wander along, drop down into the pit to grab a block and throw it at a hopping enemy. Continue on into the residential area again, throw away the bottom block, then use the very next block to knock out a foe. Break open the right treasure box for the final Crystal Ball, but do NOT touch the left treasure box. Instead, grab a regular box from the right side, then jump onto the left Crystal Ball, then the top crate to its left to jump up onto the roof. Use the box in your hands to eliminate the foe here and grab some Star Points before dropping back down. Clear the last dog, and eliminate it if you want to get at a Treasure Box containing a White Star, then head up and talk to Goofy to finish the level. Level Two --------- Start going right, eliminating a couple of the walking enemies, and then use two crates to finish off the fire hydrant (do not throw while it has spit steam out into the air, as your crate will only deflect the steam, not actually damage the hydrant). Break the treasure box for a white star, then continue on to a pile of boxes. Use the right-most box to eliminate a foe, then jump up and grab the box on top of the treasure box first - otherwise, you will not be able to grab the Crystal Ball inside when you open the crate and it will fall off-screen. Afterwards, head along for another treasure box with a Heart in it. Drop down into the lower pit at the next fire hydrant, and immediately press and hold down to crouch. Once the hydrant's attack clears your position, move forward, grab a box, throw it at the hydrant, and crouch. After its next attack, throw a second box at it to eliminate it. Once you get to the end of the row of boxes, break open the treasure crate for the second Crystal Ball. Skip over the blocks over the giant pit - while there is a passageway underneath it, ignore it. Instead, take some blocks off the right end to get to a White Star, then continue on and snipe off a couple of walking minions. Drop into the tight pit at the end where the hydrant is and make your way over to the treasure box. Smash it for a Vase, which will give your mouse temporary invulnerability to enemies, and use it to run through the hydrant and a dog until you get downhill. At the bottom of the hill, turn around and make your way through all the blocks in the lower left that would have lead into a cave. Break the final crate, a treasure box, for your third Crystal Ball, then turn around and continue right. Jump onto the center ledge with the blocks, then immediately turn around and jump up to your left side for a treasure box containing the last Crystal Ball. Go to the four central crates and grab and throw one at the patrolling mutt, then break open the treasure box for a white star. Continue going up the ledges to the top roof of the building, then go to the far right and jump off while continuing to go right. If all goes well, you should clear a final enemy and be able to grab some more Star Points before finally coming up to meet Goofy again. Level Three ----------- And now, for a more fun segment, but also more difficult, as you go riding on a boat in the lake. In this segment the screen is constantly scrolling right, so you need to be careful not to run into enemies or rocks in the water. When you start, move back to avoid the first piranha fish, then quickly move to the right and start jumping in the air to grab first a white star and then the first Crystal Ball, then move back to avoid another piranha. Jump over the first rock you see, then try for another white star and a Heart, but be especially sure to grab the Vase that comes after those two to give yourself temporary invincibility. Once you get it, quickly blaze right to grab the second Crystal Orb and a white star - do not worry about the rocks, as you will just knock them aside as well while immortal. Be careful to keep track of your invincible status (your mouse will flicker while the Vase is still in effect) - you will have lost it by the time you come to a jump over two straight rocks, so be sure to watch out for them and time your jump carefully. After you have jumped over two more rocks, you will come to a pier. Quickly rush to the right to jump and grab a Crystal Ball, then move back slightly to avoid a swarm of piranha fish. Move right once you see the final Crystal Ball to grab it, as well as a white star before touching Goofy to end both level and stage. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage Two -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STG2] Level One --------- It will be raining literal cats in the woods, so grab the first pair of blocks you see and throw them at the feline foes that come down from the air. After you use up your blocks, you will have to advance by dodging them. If you wait for them to touch the ground, they will regress into normally sized enemies, but can leap into the air again, so be sure to watch out for that. Continue along until you hit another crate. Pick it up and go up the hill, and you will encounter tumbleweed enemies. Throw a crate to knock one out. You will have to maneuever around at least one of them - to do so, wait for them to drop down to a lower ledge, then jump into the air and twist around them to let them pass your mouse. Climb up to the top of the hill and head right, until you come to an area with several blocks. Grab the furthest left one to knock the snake out, then break open the left-most treasure box for a Crystal Ball. Hop right and up for another treasure box with the second Crystal Ball, then drop down to the bottom after you grab a throwable crate. Throw it at the snake down below, then break the remaining treasure crates for two white stars. Proceed up the hill after throwing aside several crates to get two more Star Points, then grab a crate and eliminate a flying cat as it comes by. In the pit, break open the two treasure crates for a third Crystal Ball and a Blinking Heart, then continue on. After the first pit, grab a block to throw at a snake over yonder, then continue. Once you have accumulated some more Star Points, break the treasure box open for the last Star Piece. Slay another snake enemy, then continue on right, avoiding a couple more cat enemies. Stop at the pit, move back slightly, and then take a good running leap to make it over to Goofy. Level Two --------- Once you get close to the bear, jump on its back. Wait for it to move to the left before dropping into the pit via the two Star Point icons. Use the two regular blocks here to take out the bear right above and a bear up to the right, then smash the Treasure box for the first Crystal Ball. Move along the ground floor until you come to another pit, and smash the treasure crate in here for a second Crystal Ball. After you get that item, head to the spike pit, and wait for the hovering block to come down before jumping on. Grab the first couple of Star Points here, then head right a couple of ledges. Fairly quickly, you should see a block in the air. Take a good running jump and only leap off at the very tip of the ledge, then quickly jump again once you land on the block before it begins to fall. Break open the two treasure crates up here for a White Star and a Blinking Star, which gives you an extra life outright. Continue on right, jumping over another falling block, to grab some more Star Points. Afterwards, clear the entire ground level area entirely with a jump to make it to the top of a hill. Fall into the pit here, and destroy the TOP crate first, then smash the bottom treasure crate for the third Crystal Ball. Smash the second treasure box for a white star, then continue on right until you fall into another pit. Take the top crate again so you have time to grab the last Crystal Ball as you break the top treasure box. Make your way down to the second treasure box for a Heart, then continue up and right to exit the pit. Jump over a few bouncing snowballs. When you get to the pit area, jump to the safe area in the center, then quickly leap up to the left once the flying cat comes down. Once it hops up to the left, leap over it, grab the Star Point if you have not already, then head up to Goofy. Level Three ----------- And now for another fun level, as Mickey hangs from a balloon and floats up into the sky. You will always be going up. However, if you are at full life with three hearts, you will go really quickly: if you have two hearts, you will only have two balloons instead of three, and so will rise more slowly, and slower still if you have only one heart, thus one balloon. How you wish to play is up to you, as the buzzards that fly around can be fairly easy to dodge, but no point in taking a chance - if you have all three balloons, you can pretty much zoom right past them. In any case, you will see the first Crystal Ball to your left shortly into the level, so grab that, followed by a Heart to the right, and then a Vase to the far left. With the vase, you should have temporary immunity for some time from the buzzards. The rest of the level is fairly straightforward. The remaining Crystal Balls will always be to the center of the level or slightly to the right, while you should see a couple of Hearts if you want to recover - just remember as always, you will float faster if you have all three balloons. Once you hit the ceiling of the level, the level and stage will automatically end, sending you to the next stage. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage Three -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STG3] Level One --------- Start the entire stage off by grabbing a block then jumping up and throwing it as a hawk swoops in at your mouse. Take a running jump to clear the pit. Ignore the two gophers - instead, jump over them and then another shorter pit. Break the treasure crate you see to claim your first Crystal Ball of the level. Hop onto the block moving over the pit as it comes toward you, then press down to crouch as the hawk comes around. Jump over to the other side of the pit, avoid a second hawk, and then break the treasure block for a heart. Leap over a smaller pit and destroy two regular crates before getting a 1-Up Star from the treasure crate. Grabbing the second regular crate can be a bit tricky - jump off the side and quickly turn left, press B to grab the crate, and continue holding the B button to move back onto solid ground. From here, leap across three consecutive blocks that will sink once you touch them. Approach the cave and wait for the gopher to start leaving the tunnel. Back out into open air and jump up and over him once he exits. Head down deeper into the cave. Wait for the gopher to come left, then jump down once he moves right. Quickly smash open the treasure block for a white star, then head to the left end to grab a regular crate and throw it at the gopher. Hop up the blocks, then jump over to grab a box that contains the second Crystal Ball. Drop down to the floor below and maneuver around to grab one of the crates and throw it at a gopher. Quickly break open the treasure crate to get a Vase for temporary invulnerability. Use your immune-to-damage status to quickly rush right and onto a bed of spikes, and hop onto some small rocks built into the cliffside. Grab a white star at the stop, then drop down and press to the left to avoid touching the spikebed. Kill the gopher down here with a crate, then head right and smash the treasure crate for a Heart. Go up while accumulating Star Points and continue right. When dropping down, again remember to press against the left wall. Down below, use the central crate to eliminate the gopher. The left treasure box will have a third Crystal Ball, while the right one will have a white Star. Move up and past some more spikes and then down again, and smash the last treasure block for the last Crystal Ball. Wait for the hovering block to come down, then jump onto it and leap up to meet Goofy as it rises. Level Two --------- Walk forward slightly until the bat starts to move out of its stationary position, then head left and crouch. Once it leaves the area, destroy the first treasure box you see for your first Crystal Ball. Now, wait for the spider to your right to move upwards. Drop into the small hole to grab the crate, then throw it straight up to eliminate the spider. Climb up the ledges and use the block that's given to you to eliminate the bat. Drop straight down onto a ledge with a regular block and treasure box. Use the same trick as in the last level to get a hold of the regular box without taking damage - jump off the side and quickly turn left, press B to grab the crate, and continue holding the B button to move back onto solid ground. Your reward will be a white star. Jump onto the lone block in the air, and quickly leap off before it starts to sink to your right. Do not bother trying to go onto the higher ledges. Instead, drop down, and grab a hold of the crate before going right for some star points. Use the crate to eliminate the first spider, then jump over the second. Hop up some ledges until you see some bats. Wait for them to hover up and then drop into the enclosed space below, moving towards the left. The treasure crate here will be a heart. Move right slightly, but head up as soon as you can, and continue to head up, dodging a bat. Go up onto some higher ledges to come towards a pair of treasure crates, which contain the second Crystal Ball and a white Star. Pick up a regular crate as you go right and eliminate a bat. Once you hit the end, you will see another bat. Move away from it, and wait for it to head right before dropping down. Destroy the first treasure crate for a Heart, then jump over to the left side and grab the second treasure box for the third Crystal Ball. Leap up from there and get a hold of a normal block, and head right. Ignore the first bat you see - instead, use it against the second bat, as it has an extremely annoying patrol pattern. Once you do so, leap past where it was to get to an upper ledge with three blocks. Destroy the treasure block for the final Crystal Ball. Head right from here - do not bother with the bat. Instead, drop down the ledge for some Star Points, and continue dropping down and right to reach Goofy. Level Three ----------- I will be honest, I disliked this level. You will be going down the side of the mountain, and throughout it, you need to jump onto the backs of the buzzards much like you did with the bears several levels ago. If you miss a jump, however, you lose your life. Also, at the start of the level, you need to jump off RIGHT AWAY or else the screen will scroll down and knock out your mouse. Also, the buzzards will fly off screen, forcing you to jump to a new buzzard, and you can lose a heart if you get hit by a buzzard. If you wish to play it safe, wait for the buzzard to jerk to the right before jumping onto the next bird. That said, if you do try to collect the Star Points and four Crystal Balls, here is some help as far as the Crystal Balls go: the first two should be easy to jump and get back onto your bird. For the third one, however, you need to wait until your bird is slightly below it, then jump to it, and just fall straight down. A new buzzard will emerge from the bottom of the screen right before you fall to your death. For the last Crystal Ball, jump at it and then head left, as the buzzard will reverse directions and go right at the last possible moment. Once you hit the ground, go down to meet Goofy. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage Four -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STG4] Level One --------- Head up to the area where all the crates are. Ignore both of the treasure crates here - they both contain Hearts, and since you started a new stage you should be at three full hearts to begin with. Instead, head right at the top. When you get to the next section of blocks, you should see some sort of black thing on top of one of the blocks. This is technically an enemy insofar as that touching it will damage your mouse, but do not bother trying to destroy it - that will not serve you any good. Instead, simply remove the block from underneath it to make it fall down, AFTER you take away the lower right most block in this area, then grab the two treasure chests for a Heart and a Crystal Ball. Fall down and to the right to avoid touching the black thing - this is why you should have removed the lower right crate earlier. Head right and ignore the second black orb outright. You will see two more treasure blocks. Now, this is one of the trickiest sequences in the entire game. Go to where the two blocks are on the left, and approach it from the left side. Jump and quickly grab the top block before your mouse hits the stationary stone. If you miss and grab the lower block, then take all three blocks away and jump to the top of the two treasure blocks, and jump up to the left, then turn around and quickly grab the top chest for a heart while pushing right, then repeat for a second Crystal Ball. After what may be a marathon effort, head right. The two treasure chests here are both Hearts, so only bother for one of them if you are at one or two hearts. Head to the next section of boxes, and take the lower part for a 1-Up from the chest. Both the treasure chests up top are Hearts, so again ignore it if you are already full up on your health and continue on. Here, the top two chests are both Hearts again, but the bottom one near the pit is a Crystal Ball. Make a grab for a Crystal Ball - if you take damage, claim a heart from one of the treasure chests as you climb up. Again remember to take blocks out from underneath the black things to let them harmlessly fall to the earth before continuing on through the top right section. Proceed on for awhile, as all the remaining blocks for a bit are either hearts or white stars. Once you get to a block that will sink once you jump on it, remain on it as it will stay on top of the spikes, sparing your mouse some damage. Grab the nearby blocks to your right and then quickly move back onto the stone block to avoid damage until you carve out a passage to the right. Once you get to to two moving blocks, take the first one up to break open a treasure box for a white star. Continue over and fall down on the right side of an L-shaped platform, and break open the treasure chest here by jumping up and then pushing left while hitting the B button to claim the last Crystal Ball, then jump right to encounter Goofy. Level Two --------- Grab a block to start and throw it at the gear you see to eliminate it right away. Head right on the conveyor belts, then march your way up. Be careful here, as you will encounter a spiked ceiling with some spiked sections in the floor with tighter-than-Mega-Man jumps to make. After you clear the first one, do not worry about the second and third too much if you have at least two hearts. If you take damage from the second, quickly rush across the third before your invulnerability runs out, and jump across to a treasure crate containing a Crystal Ball. Drop down and grab a Heart from a second treasure block, then head right and leap across the pit once the manufacturing plunger begins to move up into the ceiling. Head up and you should see a second plunger - wait a minute and watch it and you should see it will have a quick plunge and a slow plunge. Wait until it finishes its quick plunge and retreats into the ceiling before running across. Head down and go right. Once you come up to the spike pit at the right end, quickly jump around to the conveyor belts to the top. Grab and toss away the regular box, then open the second box for the second Crystal Ball. Head right and down to some more conveyor belts with spikes on top and bottom. Again, you will have to lightly tap the A button to jump across the pits without receiving damage from above. Climb some more conveyor belts and break open a treasure box for a heart at the top. Move right to find two more plungers - both of these operate on the quick - slow closing pattern, so wait until each of them is slow before moving across. Grab the first box up top here, then drop a short distance to your right at the end and press right while grabbing the second regular crate. Break open another treasure chest for a Heart if needed. Drop down finally and take a pair of moving blocks right, then climb up the conveyor belts and jump off to the left side. The two blocks here contain a Heart and white star. If you want to get the items, then jump off to the right side, then quickly turn around and press left while grabbing with the B button to smash open the first treasure box and land safely on the platform. After, jump onto the high belt to the right. Ignore the long spike bed, and instead fall down the holes in the floor until you hit the bottom. Grab a white star from the treasure block, then use a normal block to destroy the gear to the right. Navigate your way through a tricky roof and floor of spikes, then head up, smashing open two more boxes of treasure for a white star and the third Crystal Ball. Head up and right, then jump off and press right into a small niche with a treasure crate containing the final Crystal Ball. Fall to the floor below and grab a regular block and throw it at the gear moving around, then head right and talk to Goofy. Level Three ----------- As you should already expect, this level varies from the regular platforming aspect, and how - this time, Mickey Mouse is driving a car. For the first little while, there are several platforms, and you can drop down a platform by using the Down + A button combination. Meanwhile, cars are driving at Mickey for the entire level. Stick to the middle platform, and drop down once you see a Vase to give yourself temporary invulnerability to cars coming along. Shortly thereafter, you should come across the first Crystal Ball. Once you hop over three stone pillars, move left to keep yourself from being pushed into water until you gain visible sight of two of three straight sinking blocks. Jump over them quickly (the controls to rejump may be touchy here) to get onto a short stable ledge, then let the screen scroll almost all the way on you before taking a long jump across the water to solid ground again. You will start jumping over sets of stone pillars and shortly in get your second Crystal Ball. You are not in any danger of being damaged by them, but if the screen scrolls past Mickey or Minnie Mouse you lose your life. After about three sets of pillars you should watch out for cars flying off the top and stick to the left-most, bottom pillar for a few seconds before continuing on. As you continue to jump over these pillars, you should finally get the last two Crystal Balls before encountering Goofy at the end. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Stage Five -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [STG5] Level One --------- Head right and drop into the first pit for a Heart, waiting for the wheel to pass. Get up, grab some Star Points, then cross the spike pit. After the first two hovering stones, jump onto the third one and it will sink. Allow your mouse to fall while standing on top of it, and break open the nearby treasure crate for your first Crystal Ball. Jump right onto the high ledge. Crouch underneath the wheel as you go right to come to another messy area with a spike bed and several crates in the air. Maneuver your way around the ledges to the left and center to the upper left, and break the crate here open for a white star. Jump over to the center top and grab the treasure box in mid-air while continuing to press right to both get your second Crystal Ball and land safely on the ledge. Drop off the edge with a crate in your hands, and throw it at the first wheel you run across going right, then run underneath the second one as it bounces over your head. Here, you will encounter three obnoxious bouncing drum barrels. You are not supposed to jump over them. Rather, you have to wait for the barrels to bounce into the air, and then perform extremely short jumps over to the next platform while avoiding getting conked in the head. Break the treasure chest at the end for a white star. Coming into a spike bed area again, jump over the first stone to the second one before the first one falls. The second one hovers up and down, so use the opportunity to crack open then treasure crate for a heart before continuing over several more falling stones. At the end, IF you have at least two hearts, fall down and crack open two more treasure boxes for a white star and the third Crystal Ball, then attempt what is pretty much an impossible jump over to the next cliff past a bouncing barrel drum. If you had only one heart left, you should have stayed up at the top and leapt over the thing entirely, given the difficulty of the jump. In any case, once you finally make it past the drum, jump onto the crate to the first ledge, then to the higher ledge to get the last Crystal Ball. Drop down to talk to Goofy and end the level. Level Two --------- The penultimate level differs from the level twos in the other stages in that it changes the gameplay up from the regular platforming. Here, the screen will constantly scroll upwards, and you shall have to constantly jump from platform to platform to get higher and higher. If you miss even one jump you lose your current life and have to repeat the entire stage over. As you go higher and higher, all the platforms will shrink to narrow blocks, and will become spaced further apart, so keep that in mind. Also, occasionally projectiles will fall straight down from the sky. To do a good job of avoiding these, try not to press right up against the top of the screen: instead, stay around the middle of the screen so you are not in danger of the screen scrolling up past you, but also have time to react to any falling objects. For reference, all the Crystal Balls are on the right side of the area. The fourth and final one will be just before you meet up with Goofy. Level Three ----------- The level starts with Pete attacking you with a ball. Dodge this, and follow him right. Hit the first treasure block you see as you jump off the hovering block - this will give you a 1-Up. As long as you can always survive Pete's initial attack and get this 1-Up, you should be good to play as long as you need to to defeat Pete, no matter how many KOs he gives you. Continue chasing Pete over the rooftops, and he will after a bit increase the number of balls he throws at you to two, spaced apart by several seconds. Continue on until you get to the final segment of this area where the real boss battle begins, shortly after four straight white stars. Pete has three separate positions that he will be in throughout the entire battle, as seen below, were he starts in 3, B is the infinite block that you can constantly grab that replenishes itself after each time you grab it, and G is the location of the gift in the background. 1 B 2 3 G Pete will start in position 3, where he will throw two balls close together at Mickey or Minnie Mouse. Once he does this, he will then throw two more balls, with about a second in between. He will always through the first ball low, but the second ball high with him jumping. After he shots off the four balls, he will then jump high into the air from position 3 to position 1, then 2, 1, and 2 again, before turning left and firing two balls again. He will move to position 1 again, and then finally back to 3, and then repeat this entire firing and movement pattern. To summarise, this is his movement pattern: 3 (fire four times) > 1 > 2 > 1 > 2 (fire twice) > 1 > 3 (repeat) During his first sequence of firing four times, there is no problem with dodging them. However, it is when he is in position 2 that it is nearly impossible to dodge his attacks, as you have to time your jump perfectly to leap over the spaced-apart balls. You can knock one ball out by throwing a block at it, but that is a bit dangerous to grab a block prior, not to mention wasting a possible shot. An alternative method is this: dodge the first three balls, then jump onto the block as soon as you dodge the third ball. Once Pete is jumping up into the air to fire shot four, drop down to the RIGHT side of the block, grab a block, then move to the far right side next to the wall, where the gift is in the background. Turn around. Throw the ball at Pete as soon as he lands down in position 3 again. The beauty of this is that Pete will NEVER deviate from his pattern, and he will never turn around to fire at Mickey to the right. Because of this, since you do not have to deflect any balls with your crates either, as long as you avoid Pete falling on you, you can avoid damage for the entire battle. The ONLY time you should move left is as soon as Pete has jumped from position three after all four shots, and after he has cleared the area significantly - if you move left while he is still in mid-jump, you might come into contact with him and injure yourself. In any case, once you finally fell him, head all the way to the eastern wall for credits to roll.

You do not have to buy anything right away, but (if you do not clear browser cookies often) any items you buy within the next 90 days will count as a 'referral order' to me, meaning I get anywhere from 4-6% as a referral/affiliate payment of what you ordered (ie. order $100 worth of stuff, I get $4-6 from Amazon.com) www.amazon.com/?&camp=212361&linkCode=wsw&tag=raofavigafa-20&creative=391881 Other than that, considering this FAQ is for an obscure old game, if you have any other obscure old games that you do not play anymore, consider sending them to me (I will even pay the shipping cost!). I write FAQs for plenty of obscure old games with no FAQs, and having a physical copy of the game (and even better, a manual) is superior to not.

Although I believe I have found everything there is to find in this game, there is occasionally the possibility of some super secret level in an obscure game that was never found because it was too obscure, or the like.
