Tinkle Pit/World 5

宇宙の界域 (Uchū no Sakai-iki) ギャラオン (Gyaraon)

GOOD LUCK!!

Stage 24

This stage has four Heitai (from Toy Pop, 1986) and four Pachicks (but only four of them are present for the outset); the Pachicks shall also lean forward and poop out a spiked ball which will bounce over two walls before exploding (as hard as it is to believe). It is also worth noting that the Bonus Character for this stage is a 5000-point Key - which previously appeared in Pac-Man (1980), Super Pac-Man (1982), Pac & Pal (1983), Professor Pac-Man (1983), and Pac-Mania (in normal and silver forms, 1987). The fourth was also the last Pac-Man game invented by Bally Midway without Namco's authorization.

Stage 25

This stage contains eight Pachicks (but only four of them are present at the start); it is also worth noting that the Bonus Character for it is the 5000-point Galaxip which has previously appeared in Galaxian (1979). However, it was replaced by three other unnamed ships for the other three Galaxian games.

Stage 26

This stage contains three Moonils, five Pachicks, and two Pookas (from Dig Dug, 1982) (but only five of them are present for the outset); it is also worth noting that the Bonus Character for it is a 6000-point Watermelon which has previously appeared in the aforementioned Dig Dug and Dig Dug II (1985).

Stage 27

This stage contains two Clippers, three Pachicks, two Moonils, and one Stinger with one Pot (but only four of them and the Pot are present at the start); if the Pot is knocked over or left alone for long enough, it will shatter and release ten insects which will latch onto your Tinker Balls and slow them down temporarily (but they can be stepped upon, for 10 points apiece). The Bonus Character for this stage is also a 10000-point Paccet - who has previously appeared in Baraduke (1985) and Bakutotsu Kijūtei (1988). A parade float of one has also appeared in the second bonus stage of Marvel Land (1989).

Stage 28

This stage contains one Fygar (also from Dig Dug), four Moonils and four Pachicks, but only four of them are present at the start; it's also worth noting that the Bonus Character for it is a 20000-point Rainbow Block, which has previously appeared on Cutie Q (1979), the final title in the Gee Bee trilogy.

Stage 29

This stage contains one Pooka, two Fygars and two Moonils; it's also worth noting that its Bonus Character will be the 30000-point Kurino Sandra who has previously appeared in Valkyrie no Densetsu (1989), the arcade follow-up to one of Namco's earlier titles that was only released on the Famicom, Valkyrie no Bōken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu (1986). Once you have cleared this stage, you shall proceed to the game's sixth world - Iseki no Sakai-iki Rajendā (遺跡の界域ラジェンダー), the fifth stage for which contains twenty-one Pookas (and Dig Dug never had to take on as many as that at once!).
