Dog's Life/Mountain Slide

In this level, one of the first things you'll see (and feel because the controller will be shaking if you've turned vibration on) will be the gigantic boulders falling down the mountain. You have to avoid them or you'll appear back at the start of the level and Jake will walk slower. Now, the first bit of the boulders is quite easy, all you have to do it keep to the right, but after the ledge bit where you aren't anywhere near the boulders, it gets a bit tricky. That's why it's easier just to use the cheat code (psx: S,psx: S,psx: S, hold psx: S, hold psx: S, hold psx: S, break wind/ poo) and from the options menu select cheats, and then switch dog. You are now in control of the local St Bernard. You will be in a little area at the far end of the level, still with boulders falling, but just wait until one has gone past and there aren't any more coming for a while, and jump up onto the ledge near where the the boulders are coming from. Look, there's a man there! If you go near him, the St Bernard will revive him, and Jake will appear next to him. The man will ask you to take his helmet (with a map inside) to his big brother, the cable car operator (you know, from the Mountain Tops level). So, when he's stopped talking, pick up the helmet, and eat the bone next to it. Then, go into SOV and you'll find a purple scent. Wait until a boulder has gone, and then run down their path, getting the scents along the way. Turn away and head towards the dog kennel, and drop the helmet by the dog bowl. Now, try and get all the orange scents without being squished. If you do (get squished, that is) you'll have to get past the boulders from the beginning of the level because the cheats are no use now. If you got all eight orange scents, you'll be in a tug-o-war with the St Bernard. If you win (which would probably be impossible in real life) then a bone will appear in the dog bowl if you used the cheat to get past the boulders. If one appears there, do not eat it or you might get confused bone-wise. Instead, collect eight light blue scents which are mainly in the boulders path. When following the path, don't go through the tunnel or you'll have trouble getting back. When you've got all eight blue scents, dig the trail of nine holes faster than the other dog. This time, you will see the cloud of smoke coming from the dog bowl, but no bone will appear. Eat the bone remaining in the dog bowl, dig up a bone opposite the ledge, and now it's safe to pick up the helmet. The four red scents are all in the boulders path, and go slightly into the tunnel, but when you've got the fourth one you'll come back anyway. In the first round, you need to do Beg 3, sit and stand. In the second round you need to bark three times, sit, bark, stand, and bark. In the final round (and it's a pretty long one) you need to do Beg 3, sit, lie down, sit again, stand, and do Beg 4. When the St Bernard shows you how to do Beg 4, the ground will shake. You have now learnt Beg 4! Unfortunately, there's no body to try it out on in this level, so wait until you go somewhere else.

Go as far as you can go away from the tunnel without going in the boulders path, go into SOV, and press psx: r1. If Jake's nose points to the tunnel, you're ok, and so go that way. If he points somewhere else, you've missed a scent. Go and get it if you missed one or more, otherwise go towards the tunnel when there's no boulders to close behind you, and follow the trail of scents. Try to get them all, and when you come to the other end of the tunnel, jump down to a ledge sticking out, and you'll be safe there. Now, jump across to the other load of ledges sticking out, and you'll find plenty of scents here. You'll also find plenty of bones. There are some buried, and some are just lying about. You can pick up the bones with the helmet on, but you cannot dig them up. Leave the helmet somewhere you'll remember to pick it up, and go and get the bones and scents. When you're sure there's none left in this ledgey bit, pick up the helmet, and go down a slope where you'll find some more purple scents, including one that goes out into the boulder path. Get them all, and follow the boulders down to the bottom of the level, making sure you don't miss any scents. If you managed to get all 50, a bone will appear in the dog bowl.

You might have come across a problem now. You're at the bottom of the slope, and the bone is at the top. Simple, use the cheats to switch dogs again, and use the St Bernard to pick up the bone and take it down to Jake. Take the same route you did with Jake, and try not to get squished. When you get to Jake, drop the bone, and bark to go back to controlling him. Now eat the bone and watch the fun as the local dog tries to walk up the cliff!

Go to the scrapbook (psx: start) and make sure you've got every bone in the level. Then, go through the tunnel back to the Mountain Tops level. Go back across the log, across the bridge, and to the cable car building. The man will take the helmet, and exclaim 'There's a map inside!' then Jake will say 'Good human, clever human'. The man will say that he can call the rescue helicopter, and you'll see one flying over the Mountain Slide level. Then, the man will say that he always carries a bone in his pocket in case a strange dog provides a vital clue that aides in a rescue (what a coincidence) and he will give you a bone. Eat it, then go into the kennel to save the game.

Now, go back into the cable car to get back to the High Street, go down the ramp, and turn left. Keep going along the road, and you'll come to the Minniwahwah Hotel.
