Now if you continue along, shooting plunger's at the enemies to stun them, you will come to a ladder. If you climb it and collect all five peppers, you will be momentarily invincible, he will go mad flailing his arms about. :) In this state you won't be hurt, so you can get nearly to the end of the level. Once you get to the end, there is a dog in a suit, O_o I suppose I shouldn't find this weird, playing as a duck that shoots plungers! Anyway, he'll tell you that you can't continue any further until you have equipment to help you climb walls. So stand beside the flag and press start, and call the aeroplane, because you're off to... Mexico ------ You'll need to get across the desert, watch out for the cacti though, get too near and they will explode and then reform again, also watch out for the quicksand as well. Once you reach the next area you will be faced with some hard jumps, watch for the moving platforms. Keep an eye out for birds as well, there is quite a few around here. Also there are TNT plungers on some cliffs, try to jump over these as they will send fire along the ground. Once you reach the next area you will meet Sweet Senorita, she will tell you to go back to Duckburg, to get the key for the temple, so off you go! You will arrive at the checkpoint in Duckburg, talk to the dog to get the key, then go back to Mexico. Now you'll be outside the temple, stand in front of the temple and press start, the select the Hero's Key and use it to open the temple. Go through the temple, until you reach a small brick going up and down, shoot it and use it to reach the next platform. When you come to a small passage, push Down and Jump to slide through it. Watch out for the flames as well, and the moving bricks in the passageways. When you get to the end Goofy is there. He will give you the red plunger's you need to climb the wall in Duckburg. He also mention's that Gyro is looking for you as well. So leave the temple and fly back to Duckburg. Duckburg Revisited ------------------ Now use your new acquired red plunger's to jump over the top of the building. Here use the plungers to climb up the buildings, watch out for the speaker's that yell BOOM at you, continue across. Now, when you come to a turtle, and there is a passage leading down, ~DON'T~ go down, it is a lot easier to shoot at the wall ahead of you and go over it, when you come to the end of the roof, don't jump, simply slide across to the next roof to avoid a hidden speaker above you. If you look in the background you'll see Mickey Mouse on a blimp, wow he certainly does get around! When you reach a ladder, climb down it and exit the screen to arrive at the next area. Here you have to hold on to the pulley while it pulls you across. Keep an eye out for electricity on the wire, because that's your que to jump and change pulleys. When the pulleys split and go in two different directions, stay on the one you're on, as you will get a lot of bonus stuff. When you reach the end Gyro will give you the bubble gun, you should also note that he will restock your ammo for that gun if you go back to him. Now return to the flag and go to... Transylvania ------------ Start across the level, but stay away from the blue water, if you fall in you lose a life. :( After you reach the castle, Donald will put up a flag, now enter the castle. After you talk to the ghost, blow up the wall with the Bubblegun. After that there is some not so friendly ghosts about, best to avoid them. Now shoot the wall and climb up, use the Bubblegun to break the barrels, some contain bonuses, while others contain green things, try to avoid these as they will hurt you. When you can't continue jump down the hole and to reach the next area. Here you are underwater, watch out for the spikes and swinging balls, and when you come to the falling bricks, wait until they start to go back up before continuing, as trying to jump over them will nearly always get you hit. When you come to a bit with spikes directly below you in a passageway and a swinging ball in that passage too, don't go down, use your red plungers and go up, not only will it be easier, but you will get some bonuses as well. :) Once you get to the next area, you'll see a big ghost. He is sort of a mini boss, but anyway, walk up to him and he will split into a lot of small ghosts, you will notice that he smiles just before he does that is your que to run back a little bit, duck, and keep shooting plungers, this should keep them away from you. Keep doing this until you reach some bricks that are all the same colour, shoot them with the Bubblegun and one will remain, jump on it and it will take you to up. Here jump across and go through the door to the next area. Now keep going until you reach a really high wall. Now when you start to climb the wall will start closing in, so you need to be fast, but if you fall don't worry as when you hit the ground the wall will retreat. The big ghost is waiting again, so follow him until you come to the second set of bricks, here shoot some at the top, the jump on the remaining ones. Now shoot a plunger to the wall to your left, now climb this wall, using the plungers, until you see the door on the right side, enter the door to face... Count Dracula ************* He will start the fight by pulling away his cloak and unleashing four bats on you, try to stop as many as you can, then go underneath Dracula and shoot a plunger up at him. When he pulls his cloak around him he is invincible, so wait until he opens it again before attacking. He will die after five hits. Now you will receive the real treasure map. Go through the door to leave the castle. Now call the aeroplane and go to... Maharajah --------- The first five enemies, not including the snake charmers, have peppers, so stun them all and collect the peppers, you can now get across a good bit of the first area. When you do have to get past the snake charmers, use popcorn to beat them. Once you get to the palace go inside. Here you will be faced with the challenge of beating the lion in the garden, but to get there you must first go through a maze. So continue to the maze. Here fall down to your left and go through the first door. Now go right, past the turtle and through the door. Now go left, but jump over the door numbered 2, and climb up the wall. Now slide through the hole and into the door. Now dispose of the snake charmers by using the popcorn. Now continue left and go through the passage with the turtle. Now slide through and stop when there is a gap above you, now go up here and through the door to the Tiger. Tiger ***** As soon you enter the room, run into the middle of the room, now the Tiger will jump over you. You have to try and hit it before it lands on the ground, as it cannot be hurt when it's on the ground. Watch out after the Tiger jumps over you three times it will stop and breathe fire. o_O What kind of Tiger is this?! After it does that it will jump lower so you need to duck in order to avoid being hit. After about 4 hits, it will jump onto one of the ledges, run underneath to avoid more fire. He will then jump down again and jump over you a couple of times, he will then go back to the ledge. He will die after 6 hits. Now you will receive the Sphinx Tear when you go back to the Palace. Now you have that go to... Egypt ----- When you get here, the first three enemies give you peepers, watch out you don't sink into the quicksand. The other two peppers can be got from the turtles, the last two at the pyramid thing, after Donald goes mad you should be able to make it to the end easily enough. Once you get to the pyramid, use the Sphinx's Tear to open it. Once inside, you have to jump over the moving pillars, using your plungers, be quick, or you will get pushed into the spikes. Then climb up the ladder. Now you can take a shortcut or go the hard way, if you want to take the shortcut climb up the wall to your right, if not, you need to be ready for a challenge, walk to the edge of the spears, if it pops out wait until it goes back in again, then runs across, but stop after that set of spears is finished, now test the next set, and take the necessary action accordingly. After the spears, you have to slide under some spikes, if you stop, where there is a break in the spikes and climb up, you can get some bonuses. Then, just after you pass the people who throw fire, you have to slide under a gap, but if you climb up that wall you will get an extra life. :) The go back and slide under the gap. Now climb up the wall and run up the hill avoiding the fire. Now down the next hill there is spikes and then you have to jump over lava then jump onto another slope again. On this last slope, try to stop between the second and third spike, or it will pop out and hit you, because it has a different timing than the first two. After that, continue and you'll fall down a hole with bonuses, here is the place you would of come out had you taken the shortcut. >.< After getting the bonuses go back up and enter the next area. Now this gets harder as it goes along, the first jump, the logs won't fall, so you can take your time, after that run across the bridge which will fall behind you, now this is the same as the bridge before, only fire now falls from the ceiling, don't worry it's the same, just keep running, but slow down at the end, you don't want to fall off. This one is harder, the stones will fall as you jump on them so keep moving, and if you time your first jump to miss the fire, then the rest of the jumps should be OK. This one is quite hard, you have to fall onto the first ledge and then keep jumping at a steady pace, don't jump too high or you'll hit the fire, oh and the ledges fall here as well making things all the more harder. >.< After that go to the next screen. Here just keep running, don't worry the fire won't hit you as long as you keep running. Once you come to a wall climb up it, then slide in through the hole, again keep running and you'll be fine, when you come to a hole, keep running right and you fall into the ledge and miss the fire. Now, you may want to read ahead before going into the next area, as there is a puzzle which you will have to do pretty quickly. The Riddle Of The Sphinx ************************ When you enter the ceiling will start to fall quite quickly, so you need to jump on the tablets in the ground in this order, Sun, Moon and Star, this is found in the scroll Goofy gave you. Now once the ceiling rises climb the wall to your right and get the Scepter Of Ra. Now climb down the ladder, it breaks and you fall into a mining cart. This bit is quite easy, just watch out for the holes in the track, then jump into the next cart, the first jump is after the bit with the collapsing bridge, and the last one is after the bit when the cart you are in falls onto a bit of track. Once outside call the Aeroplane then go to the... South Pole ---------- To avoid the bombs being thrown at you simply run up the hill without stopping, when they do fire it will go over your head. Now continue until you reach a downhill slope where it divides into two, go upwards and use the block of ice to slide down the slope to collect some bonuses. When you reach the end Donald will see a key in the ice. After he puts the flag up, use the Scepter of Ra, and you'll receive the Viking Key. Now call the plane and go to the... Viking Ship ----------- Dodge the Vikings who shoot arrows at you, and the floorboards that fall away. You will reach a mast at the end, climb it to reach the next area. Now climb into the crows nest, and when you reach the top go down the rope and jump into the next crows nest. Now when you reach the top go down the rope to the bottom to get an extra life, then go back up and use one of the pulleys to get across the gap. (You can go back out of this area the way you came in and all the bonuses and the extra life will have reappeared, so you can get them all again.) :) When you run down the last rope there will be a bridge that will collapse, so make sure to run across it. When you get to the next area you will see a Viking, talk to him, then use the Viking Key to open the door in the ground. Now climb down the ladder below you, then go right and climb the wall to find a hidden passage with some bonuses in it. Now go back out and down the ladder. Go over the Vikings in the barrels and shoot the first guy to get a chicken, which will completely restore your health. :) Then try and jump over the charging guy and go up the ladder. Now go over to the wall to your right and try to climb it until you discover a secret passage, go in here and through the door, and you'll have to fight a boss! The Viking Ghost **************** This fight is very easy if you know how. When he hasn't thrown his hammer, jump a bit and shoot, you should hit him in the head, he will then collapse and his head will role over the floor. He will then reassemble himself at the other side of you, jump again, and shoot him in the head. He will die after 7 hits. Go through the door to your right, and talk to the Viking to get your reward. Now call the plane and go to the... South Pole Revisited -------------------- Go to the screen to your left, here you have to shoot the bird with your newly acquired green plungers, and hang onto the plunger while the bird carries you across. You can control the bird by pressing up and down in order to dodge the other birds coming towards you. Once you get across you'll enter a new area. Here go over the hill, push down and shoot at the penguin so you don't get hit. Now, there is a long line of hard jumps ahead, that are made even worse by the ice, the killer whales and the fact that some of them go up and down. So be careful stop on each bit of ice and take your time. When you get past that you'll be in a new area. Here fall down the first hole, get the ammo and bonuses and climb out. Fall down the next hole again to get more goodies. :)Now go to the end and destroy the ice blocks with your bubblegun, and fall down the hole. Now go left and try to dodge the big running guy, then break the ice with your bubblegun and climb up. Now to your left you will see a single block of ice on it's own, break it and you'll get an extra life. :) Then go right. Climb the wall at the end of the tunnel, and jump off to your right, now climb up the shaft at the very left, breaking the blocks of ice as you go, but make sure to break all the ice blocks, as one of them has the Viking Diary inside it. After that continue up and out of the cave. Now Pete will appear, he has kidnapped the boys and will only give them back if you give him the Viking Diary and Map. After that you will chase after Pete and go to... Pete's Hideout -------------- Now make your way over the hill avoiding the jumping blocks, then you have to shoot another bird and get carried across the huge chasm. Don't worry if you miss it, as they reappear. After that dodge the snakes, and grab the pulley to get to the next area. In here is the last mine cart ride, so be prepared to jump over the gaps, there is one as soon as you go down the first hill, and another down the hill after that, then you will coast along safely to the end. Now you have to jump on floating platforms, jump on the first one then go to the south east platform and jump onto the next one, the next platform is north east, the next is north east again, then it is north east, this time jump onto the platform with the tanks on it. Now jump onto the next floating platform, and go south east, then north east to the next big platform, now you need to jump back onto the floating platforms again and go south east, now this is the last jump, and you need to stand on the north east platform in order to make the jump, you need to make a running jump in order to reach the end. When you reach the next area. This is pretty easy, go along until you reach a loudspeaker, now jump over it, and you will see two turtles below, if you shoot the one at the bottom you will get an extra life. Now go back up and continue upwards until you reach a passage way you have to slide through. Now fall down the first hole with all the turtles, and make your way to the bottom. Here you will see a lift take it down then go right, jumping over the gap, until you reach another lift that will take you up. Here shoot the bad guys on your way up, the first one will give you corn ammo, and two have chickens. When you get to the top, try to jump over the big guy then it's time for a boss. Pete **** This battle is quite hard. First of all take out Pete's henchmen by using your bubblegun or popcorn. Now you have to try and hit Pete and not his machine, and it's advisable not to try and go underneath him as he will try to crush you. If you find that you are trapped and you have to cross underneath him, the best way is to duck and slide very quickly. Also after you hit him he will be invincible until he stops flashing. He will be beaten after 10 hits. After you win you will get the Viking Diary back. Press start and select the Diary, then choose look. You will now find out that the map needs to be dipped in water in order to show the location of the treasure. You will then fly off to The Great Duck Treasure Island. The Great Duck Treasure Island ------------------------------ This is the last level, and it is the hardest one in the game. Now, you need to jump across the huge hole using the leaves, but they will start to fall, so keep jumping until you reach the other side. When you reach ground again shoot the snake on ther next platform, then jump onto the platform after that and another snake will appear on the platform in front of you. Once you reach the top step on the broken wooden plank, it will then fall from under you, now keep pressing run and right so you don't fall down the wrong hole and die. :( Once you get to a tunnel there will be green plants coming out of the wall. Jump across onto the first one on the right side, then after that it is easier to just use your plungers to climb up to the top. Now you will be in a temple. Continue right, over the spears and across the pulley. Then kill any guards you see with popcorn. Once you reach the end climb up the wall and go left. After the rings of fire and the two guards, climb up onto the moving plaform and wait until you reach the next side, and the second moving platform, you have to duck to avoid the fire on the ceiling. You will see a hole in the ceiling, you have to climb up there using your plungers. Then slide through the hole. You will now be outside in front of a huge canyon. You have to jump out onto an invisable platform that will only appear when you are above it. It isn't too hard, but note that the platforms aren't always the same distance apart. Once you get across it's the final boss! The Guardian of the Duck Treasure ********************************* Jump on top of the platform above him. Then when he comes alive he will take three steps then choose a direction in which to throw his sword, make sure he throws it to the left of the screen, do this by standing to the left of him while on top of the platform, then slide from the platform to the very right corner. Once most of the stones have fallen away, jump up a little and shoot himin the head with a plunger. Then go back up onto the platform. If he is too far left lure him a little to the right, then go to the left of him. Repeat until he dies. He will die after 12 hits. Now you've finished! :) Now sit back and watch the ending. ******************************************************************************* Bosses ~(1.2)~ ******************************************************************************* Here is a list of all the bosses in the game and how to beat them. Count Dracula ************* He will start the fight by pulling away his cloak and unleashing four bats on you, try to stop as many as you can, then go underneath Dracula and shoot a plunger up at him. When he pulls his cloak around him he is invincible, so wait until he opens it again before attacking. He will die after five hits. Tiger ***** As soon you enter the room, run into the middle of the room, now the Tiger will jump over you. You have to try and hit it before it lands on the ground, as it cannot be hurt when it's on the ground. Watch out after the Tiger jumps over you three times it will stop and breathe fire. o_O What kind of Tiger is this?! After it does that it will jump lower so you need to duck in order to avoid being hit. After about 4 hits, it will jump onto one of the ledges, run underneath to avoid more fire. He will then jump down again and jump over you a couple of times, he will then go back to the ledge. He will die after 6 hits. The Riddle Of The Sphinx ************************ When you enter the ceiling will start to fall quite quickly, so you need to jump on the tablets in the ground in this order, Sun, Moon and Star, this is found in the scroll Goofy gave you.
