Final Stage[edit]
You've made it to the final stage, and it contains a number of differences. First, it's only half as wide as the previous 20 stages. Second, there's a large stationary boss creature dominating the upper half of the screen. Third, in addition to the two enemies that roam the area, there are two electrified drones moving back and forth in the bottom half. The object that you must collect are a collection of little statues. Remember, if you lose all of your lives here, you will have to start over from Stage 17.
 The two enemies which were omnipresent in every stage of the arcade version make their only appearance in this stage. The small red ones provide the items. |
 Due to memory constraints, these two enemies could only be displayed on a stage of their own. The large blue ones will not fall into holes so easily. |
Stage 21[edit]
As soon as this stage begins, you'll have to think fast. A blue enemy will approach you from the right, while a red enemy will walk up along the left side of the screen. Move to the left and start digging holes around yourself. The blue enemy might fall in, but you need to wait for some red enemies start coming down and falling into holes. Bury them as quickly as you can to get an item. Your true hope is to obtain a helmet, or a red time stop ball. If you get the time stop ball, only focus your efforts on the bottom half of the screen, and you can still be killed if you travel up to the top. Even when time is stopped, you must be careful not to touch the two electrified drones that move within the statues. Your only real chance of surviving the top half of the screen is if you obtain the helmet. In the upper half of the screen, a large boss occupies most of the area, and it fires orbs of energy at you from the top of its head. It is incredibly accurate with its shots, and you will have a very hard time avoiding them unless you use a lot of fancy footwork, most of which may put you in danger of touching other nearby enemies. If you get the helmet, make a dash to the top of the screen, and collect the four statues above the boss. They can be collected without the helmet, but it's extremely difficult. Fortunately, the helmet appears fairly frequently on this stage. Note that it is possible to collect bombs in this stage. However, they may not help you as much as you think. If you decide to bomb enemy panels, be sure to only bomb the panels that produce blue enemies, as bombing the panels that produce red enemies will limit your chances of getting items. Once you collect all of the statues on the stage, the boss will be instantly defeated, and you will win the game.
