Cool Spot/Level 6

Time: 6:00

Once Spot has reappeared on the screen he shall drop down onto a slope and roll down it (collecting two Cool Points as he goes); once he has done so, you'll have to jump onto a bubble to bounce off it onto two more bubbles and another slope in turn, then jump up to a platform in a vacuum tube to collect eight more Cool Points. You'll now have to jump back to the left onto the second slope to collect two more Cool Points (which are partially visible through a giant pair of sunglasses with a false nose and moustache), roll down the second slope onto a third one to collect a thirteenth Cool Point and jump back to the left up to another platform in another vacuum tube to collect four more Cool Points - and once you have done so, you will have to drop down to the left onto a fourth slope and jump up to collect an eighteenth Cool Point. You will now have to jump up to two more slopes in turn to collect two more Cool Points; once you've done so, you shall have to jump up to a sixth slope, roll down it onto a seventh one to collect a twenty-first Cool Point, and jump onto a third platform to collect two more Cool Points (which are partly obscured by a giant wristwatch). You'll then have to drop back down to the left onto that seventh slope, roll down it onto an eighth one to collect a twenty-fourth Cool Point, jump onto a ninth slope to collect a twenty-fifth Cool Point, jump back to the left up to a fourth bubble to bounce off it onto six more bubbles and up to a tenth slope in turn, then roll down it to collect a twenty-sixth Cool Point and enter a third vacuum tube - and once you've done so, you will get carried up to an eleventh slope which you must then roll down to collect a twenty-seventh Cool Point, retrace your steps back down onto that eighth slope, drop down onto a twelfth slope, and roll down it to collect a twenty-eighth Cool Point. You will then have to jump up to a thirteenth slope, then roll down it to collect a twenty-ninth Cool Point and enter a fourth vacuum tube; once you have done so, you'll get carried up to a fourteenth slope which you must then roll down to enter a fifth vacuum tube. You will then get carried back up to the starting slope from which you have to retrace your steps back up to the first platform in the first vacuum tube and jump over to a fourth platform in a sixth vacuum tube to collect eight more Cool Points (if you're playing on "Easy" skill level, the text "FIND CAGE" will appear on the screen at this point).

You will then have to drop down onto a fifteenth slope, from which you must retrace your steps back down to the eighth one, drop down onto a sixteenth one, then roll down it to collect a thirty-eighth Cool Point and enter a seventh vacuum tube; once you've done so, you will be carried up to a seventeenth slope, which you must then roll down to enter an eighth vacuum tube. You shall then be carried up to an eighteenth slope, from which you must jump up to a nineteenth one to collect a thirty-ninth Cool Point - and once you've done so you will have to jump back to the left onto a twentieth slope to collect a fortieth Cool Point. You shall then have to jump back to the left up to the top of the slope, to collect eight more Cool Points; once you have done so, you will have to roll down a twenty-first slope to collect a forty-ninth Cool Point. You will then have to drop down onto a twenty-second slope and roll down it to collect two more Cool Points - and once you've done so, you will have to drop down onto a twenty-third slope and roll down it to collect a fifty-second Cool Point. You shall then have to drop down onto a twenty-fourth slope and roll down it onto that thirteenth one to enter the fourth vacuum tube again; once you have done so, you will be carried back up to that fourteenth slope, from which you must jump up to an eleventh bubble to bounce off it onto a twelfth one and enter a tenth vacuum tube. You will now be carried back up to the starting slope again from which you have to retrace your steps back up to the nineteenth one and drop down to the left onto a twenty-fifth one to collect a fifty-third Cool Point - and once you've done so, you shall have to drop down onto the eighteenth slope and a twenty-sixth one in turn to collect a fifty-fourth Cool Point. You then have to jump back up to the eighteenth slope to collect a fifty-fifth Cool Point; once you've done so you shall have to jump back up to the top of the eighth vacuum tube and jump up to collect two more hidden Cool Points. You will then have to roll back down onto the twenty-sixth slope and drop down onto three more slopes in turn to collect three more Cool Points (and if you are playing the game on "Normal" skill level, the text of "FIND CAGE" will get displayed on the screen at this point).

You'll then have to drop down onto two more slopes in turn, and roll down the thirty-first one to enter an eleventh vacuum tube; once you have done this, you will be carried up to a thirty-second slope from which you must jump back to the left onto a thirty-third one to collect a sixty-first Cool Point. You then have to drop down onto the twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth slopes in turn, jump back up to the top of that twenty-fourth slope, drop down onto a thirty-fourth slope, roll down it onto five more slopes in turn to collect four more Cool Points and drop down to a right-moving conveyor belt - and once you've done so you will have to jump onto a fortieth slope to collect a sixty-sixth Cool Point. You shall then have to jump into a thirteenth bubble which shall carry you up to three more Cool Points; once you have done so, it will burst, and you will have to drop down into a fourteenth bubble which shall carry you up to two more Cool Points. Once this fourteenth bubble bursts, you have to drop down onto a forty-first slope to collect two more Cool Points, then roll down it to collect a seventy-fourth Cool Point, and jump up to a fifth platform to collect eight more Cool Points (if you're playing on "Easy" skill level, the text "BONUS LEVEL" will appear on the screen at this point, but on "Normal" or "Hard", you will still have to collect 3 or 17 more).

You'll then have to drop back down onto the right-moving conveyor belt and collect two more Cool Points; once you've done so, you will have to retrace your steps back left to the thirty-ninth slope, and jump back to the left through a twelfth vacuum tube to collect a 1UP icon (however, if Spot already has nine lives, it will not register). You will then have to walk back to the right into that twelfth vacuum tube - and once you have done so, you will be carried back up to that thirteenth slope, from which you must jump up to the fourteenth one to collect an eighty-fifth Cool Point (if you are playing "Normal" skill level, the text of "BONUS LEVEL" will be displayed on the screen at this point, but if you are playing "Hard" skill level, you still have to collect 14 more).

You'll then have to jump up to three more slopes to collect three more Cool Points; once you have done so, you will have to jump up to two more slopes and the starting one in turn, jump back to the left up to the top of the starting slope, and jump up to collect a hidden 7UP logo (or Cool Point with Virgin's V logo on it in the EU versions). If you are playing the game on "Hard" skill level, the text of "FIND CAGE" shall get displayed on the screen at this point.

You'll now have to retrace your steps back up to that nineteenth slope and drop down onto the top of that eighth vacuum tube to collect two more hidden Cool Points; once you have done so, you shall have to retrace your steps back down to that seventh slope, then drop down onto a forty-second one and enter a thirteenth vacuum tube. You'll then be carried up to a forty-third slope, from which you will have to jump back to the left and up to a sixth platform to collect a ninety-eighth Cool Point - and once you have done so, you will have to drop back down to the left onto the forty-second slope and jump up to enter a fourteenth vacuum tube. You will now be carried back up to that twentieth slope, from which you will have to retrace your steps back down to the twenty-fourth one, then jump back to the left to collect two final Cool Points (which are partly visible through another giant pair of sunglasses with a false moustache, and the text "COOL" shall also appear on the screen at this point); once you have done it, you will have to retrace your steps back up to the eighteenth slope and throw a Cool Shot at the lock on the cage above you to end the level. You shall now get treated to the cutscene of Spot freeing his sixth friend as the text "LEVEL COMPLETED" appears on the screen - and you will now receive an "Unused Time Bonus" of 10 points for every second you have remaining and a "Coolness Bonus" of 10 points for every Cool Point you had collected (and if Spot's carried high enough up the screen by his balloon, he will collect that 1UP symbol above him for an extra life, but he again cannot have more than nine lives, which may prove troublesome later).

If you'd managed to qualify for the sixth bonus level, you shall have 1:30 to collect all 100 Cool Points and the sixth continue letter in it by jumping on the bubbles while avoiding the spiked balls (there are also two stopwatches which can be collected for 30 extra seconds apiece); if you manage to collect all 100 Cool Points, the text of "COOL" shall appear on the screen (but if you run out of time, you won't lose a life). If you collect the last continue letter (A in the US versions, and N in the EU ones), Spot will push it into place from the right side of the screen, as the text "STORING FINAL CONTINUE" is shown below him - and you shall then again receive an "Unused Time Bonus" of 10 points for every second you have remaining, and a "Coolness Bonus" of 10 points for every Cool Point that you collected, as Spot gets carried up the left side of the screen by his balloon (again, if he's carried high enough, he will collect the 1UP symbol above him for an extra life). Spot shall now proceed to the seventh level "Wound Up", which takes place in a third giant toy shop.
