Adventure Island/World 5

Stage 1

 * 1) At the start of this section, you will find a flower.  Collect it, then proceed to attack or jump over the snails.  Be careful, however, as the very last Sneil contains the Bonus Pot for this stage.  You must intentionally trip over it to reveal the pot.  There is a hidden egg at the very end of the island.  It contains a key.  Collect it and reach the cloud with the dark outline to be taken to the bonus stage.
 * 2) This is another straightforward stage.  After jumping from a cloud, there are two falling clouds followed by a springboard.  When you land, there will be a stone ax egg, or a skateboard if you already have a weapon.  From here, you will simply run forward, avoiding the enemies as they approach you.  Be careful around the two fires at the end, as a flock of Cavas appear there as well.
 * 3) Immediately after two frogs, there is a hidden fireball egg directly beneath the carrot that appears in midair.  The big concern in this section are the Octopi that hang around the edges of the islands that you must approach.  Don't be in too much of a rush and eliminate the Octopi as they appear if possible.
 * 4) The last section may appear very simple until the end.  There is one cloud that will drop as soon as you land on it.  Beyond it is another cloud, and between the two is a blue Octopi.  You won't have time to kill it, so you must be very careful to jump as high as you can in order to clear the Octopi.  Beyond that, you must jump up the column of descending clouds to reach the next cloud.  Shortly before the goal signpost is a hidden egg which contains a red bottle of milk.

Stage 2

 * 1) Collect the flower at the start of the section.  Avoid the Basser bats that drop from the ceiling, and watch out for the boulder.  When you reach a moving platform that arrives before a fire, don't jump off immediately.  Allow the two Cavas birds to approach so that you can attack them or safely time your jump to the other side of the fire.
 * 2) There are a number of jumps that you must make over gaps.  The first platform rises up and down.  The second one is static, but the next one will drop through the floor.  You will find a series of Pooters.  You must collide with the very first one in order to reveal this stage's  Bonus Pot.
 * 3) The next section is another jumping test, with heavily occupied ledges beyond many platforms.  Again, take it slowly, and try to land on the very edges of each new ledge to ensure that you don't crash into anything.  After landing on a platform that rises to the ceiling, jump to the next one, and scroll the screen to the right.  Wait for a boulder to appear before jumping to the last platform, which will drop out from under you as soon as you land on it.
 * 4) The last section is yet another jumping test.  Once you reach the floating platforms, many of them will start to move laterally.  Be careful when they begin to move and time your jumps accordingly.  The one bird shouldn't pose a threat, but the two frogs after the platforms are definitely a danger.  Jump to the ledge carefully.  Beyond the frog, you will have to deal with Basser bats that fly down around the height of the last few platforms.

Stage 3

 * 1) There is a weapon/skateboard egg at the start of the stage.  There are two fires that you must jump over.  A frog is positioned in front of a second egg.  This egg contains an eggplant, so do not open it.  You'll have to ride one of the platforms over the high wall.  Avoid the enemies as you approach the next section.
 * 2) The first platform drops out.  The egg contains a weapon/skateboard.  Jump on the next platform and move towards the one beyond.  Let it start moving and pass below the floor so that you can jump on the next one that comes down from the ceiling.  Be careful of the frogs as you descend the steps.  There is a hidden fireball egg at the end of the last step before the drop.  Beyond the pit in the floor, you must jump on two spring boards to reach three rocks in a group.  Trip over the middle one to reveal the hidden Bonus Pot.
 * 3) After collecting the milk in the egg, you will start to jump from one lateral moving platform to the next.  You must time your jumps very carefully, and be on the look out for Basser bats that may interfere with your jumps.  Always time your jump to the next platform when it is on its way towards you, not away.
 * 4) First, you must jump up a series of steps.  Then you will need to jump across a series of platforms.  Every single platform will drop out from under you, so you must jump quickly, as soon as you land on each one.  In order to get all the way across, make sure you jump as far to the right of the first platform as possible, or you may not be able to make each of the jumps.

Stage 4

 * 1) This world's Stage 4 starts out much like every other one.  Deal with the spiders in the first section, and the Cavas birds in the second.  Collect the flower in the egg at the end of the section.
 * 2) Watch out for the Coyote attack from behind.  The jump over the fire and rocks that follow.  There are a series of frogs before two springboards.  Use the second springboard to launch over the fires.
 * 3) Another very straightforward section follows as your only real concern are the spiders and birds that occupy the area.  If you have a weapon, this should be no problem to deal with, but if you don't, you'll have to jump very carefully.  After another Coyote attack at the end of the level, you will find a single Sneil at the end of the section.  Intentionally trip over him to reveal the hidden Bonus Pot.
 * 4) Right after the signpost, there is a hidden fireball egg.  When you reach the first hill, not only must you worry about the boulder coming your way, there is also a pesky frog waiting to attack you.  Beyond the first hill are the usual collection of Cavas and Cobras.  The first platform to the boss's hideout will fall away.  The boss isn't dramatically different than any you've faced before, except that it will take a full 16 shots to the head to do away with him.
