Maps[edit]
Details[edit]
A: Underground Cave | B: Mecha-Prontos |
---|---|
If the stand by the entrance, you will find an underground cave. The red circles indicate where eggs are located. You can find the Super Shield in this cave. If you collect it and make it all the way to the boss with this power, you will have a much easier time. | The monster at the edge of the shore, Mecha-Prontos, will actually offer to help transport you across the water, for the price of 2 diamonds. As long as you have the money, press to accept his help. Without it, you will have to swim across the water, and unless you have full health, it is doubtful that you will survive the trip. Even if you accept his help, you can still accidentally hurt him with one boomerang, so fire carefully. |
C: Commander | |
The lightning bolts signify another chance to do battle with one of the Commanders. | |
D: Eruption | |
If you stand on the top of this mountain, it will trigger an eruption and blast you into the clouds. Up there, you can find a 1-up and a Continue mark, so it's definitely worth visiting. | |
E: Safe Room | |
For the cost of one diamond, you can enter a safe room in this location. |
Part B[edit]
Enemies[edit]
Maps[edit]
Details[edit]
A: Drakkura Attack | B: Cafe |
---|---|
As soon as you depart from the time capsule, a Drakkura will be flying around just waiting to attack you. It is difficult, if not impossible, to avoid being hit once. | It is possible to enter this cafe if you stand in front of the entrance for two seconds. Once inside, you will be served a cup of coffee which will restore all of your energy. It's definitely worth the visit. |
C: Movie Theater | D: Trap Room |
You can enter the Movie Theater by standing in front of the entrance and using up a Flash attack. However, the payoff is only a small cinematic feature, and generally not worth the cost. | It would be wise to avoid entering this room all together. As you soon as you do, you will find yourself in a pitch black room, being attacked by a gang of Drakkuras. Even if you survive, you will find exiting the room a challenge. The exit can be found by standing very close to (but not right on) the right edge of the screen, and jumping. |
E: Quiz | F: Ladders |
If you stand by the entrance between the ladders, you will have a chance to take another quiz. | Your only goal through this vertical section is to quickly climb to the very top. Eggs may drop from up above, so keep your eye open for them. Ultimately, to reach the top, you must access the ladders on the right, although the left side tends to be easier to climb and contain fewer enemies. Continue to shoot upwards as you climb to be safe. |
Boss[edit]
The boss of this world is the King Bug the Great. The challenge differs considerably depending on whether you are Super-Zaurus or not. If you are Super-Zaurus, you will find this boss quite easy to defeat. The enemy will fire upon you with bullets that cannot be countered with the boomerang. It will also send out little enemy bugs that bounce up and down to attack you. The enemy can only withstand 3 hits, but it cannot be harmed when the hatch it open to release bugs. Try to reduce the bugs if they are getting in your way. If you have the Super Shield, you should be able to throw out three boomerangs into the sky in rapid succession to defeat the boss quickly. When it is knocked down, it sails away, releasing a final batch of bugs which you must destroy to complete the fight. You get 100 points for each hit to the enemy, for a total of 300 points, but the small bugs are worth no points.
