7. Walkthrough
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 0
Head left out the house and all the way left in the next room. Then,
go up and touch the cat so it follows you. Next, go all the way up
and to the right and shoot the door then go in it.
Stage 1
Go up through the green entrance, and keep going up until you see
a hole. Jump in it then, make your way to the crate on the left
blue ledge to get the PUNCH special weapon. Now head to the exit on
the left and go up to the next door. Follow the path and climb the
ledge to the top right where one of the crates has the ROLL Skill.
Then head to the exit at the bottom left. Make your way up and go in
the door with blue around it to save. Now head right and down the
stairs and up through the door. Now go left and jump your way across
the room up to the door. PUNCH the green box in order to go in the
door and go in it. In this room is The first boss. First destroy the
bosses cards then attack the boss in the face. Punches work the
best on the cards. Watch out for the boss breathing fire. After you
defeat the boss grab the FLAME THROWER special weapon and head out
the room. Now make your way back to the beginning of the stage to
the first room and go to the upper left corner. Use the FLAME
THROWER to destroy the red box then go in the door for stage 2.
Stage 2
Go left into the door for a save point in the beginning of this
stage. Now make your way to the lower left corner and climb the
steps up and go in the door. In this room make your way to the
bottom without falling off the edge. When you reach the bottom
go in the left exit and in that room you'll find the BACK skill.
Now go back to the previous room and go in the right exit. When
you're in that room jump across the chasm over the grey boxes.
It looks hard but it's easy. Now follow the path until you come
upon an exit on the right. Go in it and take the upper exit in
there. Follow that room to the exit. Next, follow the top ledge
to the exit and destroy the green box with PUNCH and go in.
Straight up is a save to the right is a boss. This boss is a
snake and that chases you and shoots fireballs at you. First you
have to attack the snakes body and tail until it's all orange
then attack the head. Stars work best on this boss. Now get the
ICE ROCK weapon then head out the room and head up and use it
on the blue box blocking the door and go in that door.
Stage 3
This stage is a shooter, it's not that hard but watch out for
enemy missles because some of them are homing missles. The boss
here is a shark that lunges and spins at you. If he deploys
another enemy destroy that then go back and attack the boss.
Stage 4
Right when you start there's a save point. Leave that room and
go through the next exit and head up for the black cat. Next
head to exit at the bottom. Now go up and destroy the crate
to get the MISSLES special weapon to destroy the gray boxes.
Now go down to the exit on the right into a warp room and make
your way to Stage 1. Make your way to the room you found the
PUNCH weapon in and head up were the doors blocked by a grey box.
Destroy it with the missles and go in the room to get the DASH
skill. Now make your way back to stage 4 and leave the warp room.
Go up to the top exit using missles. Follow the path for the next
few rooms. In one room there's an exit on the left with a save
in it. Keep going past it and you'll meet the boss. This boss is
a robot that flies around shooting at you. If it shoots homing
missles at you DASH away until they hit something. Hit and run
tactics using the DASH skill work the best.
Stage 5
This is another shooter stage. The boss is really tough. It's
the back half of a spaceship that attacks with homing missles
from the top and the bottom and sprays bullets from the middle.
Stage 6
First, head in to the next room. Then find the pink trashcan
enemy and freeze it using the ICE ROCK special weapon. Next
jump on it and jump to the upper ledge. The middle exit is a
save point. Go past the save point and freeze and jump off
another trashcan and jump on to the ledge for the left exit.
Follow the path for the next few rooms until you see a
trashcan near an exit and a ledge above. Freeze the trashcan
and hop up to the upper ledge. Next destroy the red crate with
the FLAME THROWER special weapon and go through the exit.
Follow the path through the next room. In the next room go to
the upper exit. The next rooms middle exit is a warp. Keep
going left past the warp room and climb the stairs. Destroy
the green box with a PUNCH and go in that room to get the
HEAL special weapon. Now go back to the yellow room and
head down and left. Now you have to freeze the trashcan and
jump off it up across the chasm and go to the upper exit.
In that room the upper exit is a save point and to the bottom
right is the final boss. First he starts off as a big robot
that shoots at you and jumps and drops missles. Hit and run
using DASH to kill him easy. After he gets beaten he turns
into a smaller robot. The smaller robot attacks with a
pillar of flames or he shoots quickly at you. Just use the
same tactics as on his last form.
Stage 7
You have 60 seconds to get back to the first room in stage
6. Just hop off all the ledges and use DASH and it should be
no problem.
