Cool Spot/Level 9

Time: 8:00

Once Spot reappears on the screen you shall have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two spiders on the underside of the ceiling to kill them; once you have done so, you shall have to jump back to the left behind a pipe, to collect a hidden Cool Point. You shall then have to walk back to the right, jump up behind the left side of another pipe to collect another hidden Cool Point, and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of that ceiling to kill them - and once you have done this, you shall have to jump onto an electric wire, jump behind the right side of that second pipe to collect two more Cool Points and drop down onto a platform. You will then have to jump back to the left onto the electric wire and jump back to the left onto another platform to collect a fifth Cool Point as you come to a mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you; once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the starting platform to kill them. You shall now have to jump back to the right over a tin tack as you come to a second mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump back to the left over the tin tack and drop down onto a mousetrap to be catapulted over to another electric wire. You will then have to jump back to the left onto a third platform as you come up to a third mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you; once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the starting platform to kill them, then jump back to the left behind two more pipes to collect two more hidden Cool Points. You shall then have to jump back to the right over to the second electric wire and drop back down to the left onto a fourth platform as you come to a fourth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you will have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the third platform to kill them, then jump up to collect an eighth Cool Point. You shall now have to jump back to the right onto the second electric wire and a fifth platform in turn as you come to two more mice who are throwing pieces of cheese at you; once you throw enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them, you shall have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the second platform to kill them. You shall then have to jump up to collect a ninth Cool Point - and once you've done so, you'll have to jump back to the left onto that second electric wire to collect a tenth Cool Point. You'll then have to jump back to the left onto a sixth platform to collect two more Cool Points - and once you have done so, you will have to jump back to the right onto that second electric wire, throw a Cool Shot at a thirteenth spider on the underside of the sixth platform to kill him, and jump back to the left onto a seventh platform to collect a thirteenth Cool Point. You'll then have to jump back to the right onto the second electric wire and throw a Cool Shot at three more spiders on the underside of the seventh platform and an eighth one to kill them; once you have done so, you will have to jump back to the left over another tin tack and behind a fifth pipe to drop down onto a ninth platform and collect two more hidden Cool Points. You shall now have to jump back to the right over that second tin tack as you come to two bouncing thunderbolts - and once you throw enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them, you'll have to jump over a third tin tack, another mousetrap and two more tin tacks in turn then jump up and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the eighth platform to kill them. You shall now have to jump over a sixth tin tack and a pin in turn as you come to two more bouncing thunderbolts; once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them you'll have to jump over a seventh tin tack to collect a sixteenth Cool Point. You'll then have to jump back to the left up to a third electric wire, and jump up to a tenth platform behind a sixth pipe to collect a seventeenth Cool Point - and once you've done so, you will have to jump back to the left onto the third electric wire and over another pin on the eighth platform in turn as you come to two more bouncing thunderbolts. Once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at both of these to kill them, you'll come to a checkpoint - and once you've passed it its flag will raise as you come to two spiked balls from the bonus levels. Once you have jumped up and thrown enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them, you shall have to jump back to the left over an eighth tin tack, and jump up and throw a Cool Shot at a nineteenth spider on the underside of an eleventh platform to kill him; once you've done so, you shall have to jump up to collect two more Cool Points.

You will then have to jump back to the right over the eighth tin tack and onto the third electric wire in turn and throw a Cool Shot at a twentieth spider on the underside of the fifth platform to kill him; once you've done so you will have to jump back to the left onto a twelfth platform as you come to a seventh mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you will have to retrace your steps back down to the second electric wire and jump onto a thirteenth platform as you come to two more mice who are throwing pieces of cheese at you; once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at both of these mice to kill them, you'll have to throw a Cool Shot up at a twenty-first spider on the underside of a fourteenth platform to kill him. You'll then come to two more mice, who are throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you've thrown a Cool Shot at both of these to kill them, you'll have to throw a Cool Shot up at two more spiders on the underside of the fourteenth platform to kill them. You shall then have to jump up behind a seventh pipe to collect a twentieth Cool Point; once you've done so, you will have to jump onto a fourth electric wire and a fifteenth platform in turn, then jump over a ninth tin tack to collect two more Cool Points (the twenty-first is hidden behind an eighth pipe), as you come to a twelfth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump onto a fifth electric wire and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of a sixteenth platform to your left to kill them - and once you have done that, you shall have to throw a Cool Shot up at three more spiders on the underside of a seventeenth platform to kill them. You will then have to jump back to the right onto an eighteenth platform behind a ninth pipe, to collect a twenty-third hidden Cool Point; once you've done so, you will have to retrace your steps back down to the fourth electric wire, and throw a Cool Shot at a twenty-ninth spider on the underside of that thirteenth platform to kill him. You'll then have to jump back to the left onto a nineteenth platform as you come to a thirteenth mouse who's throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you'll have to jump up behind a tenth pipe to collect a twenty-fourth hidden Cool Point. You shall now have to jump back to the right onto the fourth electric wire and a twentieth platform in turn to collect a twenty-fifth Cool Point, and throw a Cool Shot up at a thirtieth spider on the underside of the fifteenth platform to kill him; once you have done so you shall have to jump over a third mousetrap to collect two more Cool Points, then collect a stopwatch for 30 extra seconds. You shall then have to jump over two more tin tacks to collect a twenty-eighth Cool Point - and once you have done so you'll have to jump up to collect two more Cool Points (if you are playing on "Easy" skill level, the text of "FIND CAGE" will appear on the screen at this point, but if you are playing on "Normal" or "Hard" skill level you shall still have to collect 30 or 60 more Cool Points before this happens).

You will then have to retrace your steps back to the fourth electric wire and drop down onto a twenty-first platform as you come up to two more bouncing thunderbolts; once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them you will have to jump up and throw a Cool Shot at a thirty-first spider on the underside of a twenty-second platform to kill him. You will then have to jump onto a sixth electric wire and throw a Cool Shot up at a thirty-second spider on the underside of a twenty-third platform to kill him - and once you've done so, you'll have to drop down to the left onto a twenty-fourth platform, and jump back to the left over a twelfth tin tack to collect a thirty-first Cool Point. You will now have to jump up to collect a thirty-second Cool Point; once you have done so, you shall have to jump back to the left onto a fourth mousetrap to get catapulted up to a thirty-third Cool Point. You shall now have to retrace your steps back over to the sixth electric wire, jump back to the right onto a seventh electric wire, then jump back to the right behind an eleventh pipe to collect a thirty-fourth hidden Cool Point - and once you have done this you shall have to drop down onto a twenty-fifth platform, jump back to the left onto a twenty-sixth platform and jump onto a fifth mousetrap to be catapulted over to an eighth electric wire. You will then have to throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of a twenty-seventh platform to kill them; once you've done so you will have to jump onto a twenty-eighth platform to collect two more Cool Points (the thirty-sixth one's hidden behind a twelfth pipe) as you come to a fourteenth mouse who's throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you will have to jump back to the left behind a thirteenth pipe to collect a thirty-seventh hidden Cool Point - and once you have done so, you shall have to drop down onto a twenty-ninth platform and jump back to the left over a thirteenth tin tack as you come to a fifteenth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump back to the left behind a fourteenth pipe and over a fourteenth tin tack to collect a thirty-eighth hidden Cool Point; once you've done so, you will have to retrace your steps back over to the twenty-eighth platform, then jump over a fifteenth tin tack as you come to a sixteenth mouse who's throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you will have to jump up behind a fifteenth pipe to collect a thirty-ninth Cool Point - and once you have done so, you shall come up to another checkpoint (and once you have passed this one, its flag shall again raise).

You will now come to two more spiked balls from the bonus levels; once you have jumped up and thrown enough Cool Shots at both of them to kill them, you shall have to jump onto a ninth electric wire and jump up behind the left side of a sixteenth pipe to collect a fortieth hidden Cool Point. You shall then have to fall down onto a thirtieth platform, jump back to the left onto the ninth electric wire, and drop down onto a thirty-first platform as you come up to a seventeenth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you shall have to jump up behind a seventeenth pipe, to collect a forty-first hidden Cool Point. You then have to jump onto a tenth electric wire to collect a forty-second Cool Point; once you have done it you will have to jump onto a thirty-second platform as you come to an eighteenth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you've thrown enough Cool Shots at him, to kill him, you'll have to throw a Cool Shot at a thirty-fifth spider on the underside of that twenty-seventh platform to kill him - and once you have done so you shall have to jump up to collect a forty-third Cool Point. You shall then have to jump back to the left behind the right side of the sixteenth pipe to collect a forty-fourth hidden Cool Point; once you have done so, you will have to jump back to the right onto the tenth electric wire and throw a Cool Shot at two more spiders on the underside of the twenty-eighth platform to your left to kill them.

You'll then have to jump over a ninth mousetrap and behind a twenty-third pipe to collect a seventy-third hidden Cool Point; once you have done so, you shall come to a thirty-seventh mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him you will have to jump over two more tin tacks as you come to a thirty-eighth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you - and once you have thrown enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you shall have to jump over a twenty-fifth tin tack onto a bubble, and get propelled up to another bubble and a fifty-third platform in turn as you come to a thirty-ninth mouse who is throwing pieces of cheese at you. Once you throw enough Cool Shots at him to kill him, you'll have to jump back to the left over three more pins to collect three more Cool Points (if you are playing on "Easy" skill level and have missed one of the continue letters, the text "BONUS LEVEL" will appear on the screen at this point, but if you are playing on "Normal" skill level, you still have to collect nine more).

You will then have to jump back to the left over six more pins (and behind a twenty-fourth pipe), to collect five more Cool Points; once you have done so, you shall have to jump onto a tenth mousetrap to get catapulted up to a third bubble, bounce off it over to nine more bubbles and a fifty-fourth platform in turn and jump up behind a twenty-fifth pipe to collect a hidden 7UP logo (or Cool Point with Virgin's V logo in the EU versions) equal to seven more Cool Points (if you are playing on "Normal" skill level and missed one of the continue letters, the text "BONUS LEVEL" will appear on the screen at this point).

You'll then have to jump back to the left onto a fifty-fifth platform to collect three more Cool Points (if you're playing on "Hard" skill level, the text of "FIND CAGE" shall appear on the screen at this point); once you've done so, you shall have to retrace your steps back down to the fifty-third platform and drop back down to the right onto the fifty-second platform behind the twenty-fourth pipe to collect three more hidden Cool Points. You shall then have to jump back to the right over the twenty-fifth tin tack to collect a ninety-fifth Cool Point - and once you have done so you shall have to jump back to the left over the twenty-fifth tin tack and throw a Cool Shot up at the lock on the cage to end this level. You'll then be treated to the cutscene of Spot freeing his ninth friend, as the text "LEVEL COMPLETED" appears on the screen; 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 collected (and if Spot gets carried high enough up the screen by his balloon he shall collect the 1UP symbol above him for an extra life, but for a fifth time he can't have more than nine lives). If you do not have all six continue letters and qualified for a bonus level you missed the letter in (which is only possible if you are playing on "Easy" or "Normal" skill level this time), you will once again get to replay it - and, once it is over, Spot will proceed to the tenth level "Dock and Roll", which is set on another giant pier with instant-death pits.
