2. Guide Notes
Please note that this guide is ONLY meant to get you through the game
itself. It will not guide you to all the treasures (you never need all
of them to advance to the bonus level anyway). If I find the time to do
so, I will try to put a guide up covering locations of several
treasures (I have only achieved the 100% mark for The Realm of the
Dead). I may point out ways you can go when the path splits (as it does
a few times in Mojo Mansion Stage 4), but otherwise, the true secrets
are yours to discover. Note that for the first few levels, you should
be able to fulfill the Luau Loot requirement without going off the
beaten path. Passwords will not be revealed in this FAQ, as they can
already be found in the Codes & Secrets section for this game on
GameFAQs. This guide is for the SNES version only, the PC version
contains substantial differences (such as the Ninja's Yin Yang power
usage and actual level design).
3. Tips for playing the game
3.1 Playing as Maui Mallard
Maui carries a little bug shooter. I've seen up to 2 different types of
bugs (apart from the standard shot) that he can collect. He can combine
both bug types to create a super shot, but be advised that it will take
ammo from both meters. I usually stick with his standard shooter (he
has a limit of 50, but it steadily refills while he is not firing).
Maui cannot scale between walls, swing from the duck heads, or enter
the duck statues. Maui cannot hurt certain enemies. Note on the bug
shooter: If Maui is using it for propulsion (in the water in The Flying
Duckman or in the greenish areas of The Realm of the Dead),
it will not expend ammo while he is firing. This is quite useful in
some situations (note that it applies if he's in one of those areas,
but on the ground).
3.2 Playing as the Ninja
If you have Yin Yang power, press X to transform into Maui's alter ego,
the Ninja. The Ninja wields a staff and can use it to strike enemies.
If you make multiple strikes without resting, 10 Yin Yang will be used
with each additional strike. Pressing L or R will make the Ninja spin
in that direction (allowing a potential for many hits on an enemy), but
the Ninja's Yin Yang power will be drained very quickly. The Ninja can
have up to 999 Yin Yang power. If he uses it up, he will not revert
back to Maui, but he cannot make multiple strikes until he has enough
power to do so (if his power drops below 150, it will steadily
regenerate while he is in Ninja form). The Ninja cannot climb anything
(except walls by scaling them if they're narrow enough), nor can he use
the little hooks in the Test of Duckhood (that grab Maui by his shirt
and toss him up).
4. Powerups
4.1 Bug Shooters
There are two different types of Bug Shooter powerups. Each of them has
an ammo meter. I'm not sure if they have a limit (I don't pay attention
to them because I never use them unless I'm bored). The white one
shoots three white balls on a narrow arc from Maui. The orange one
fires an orange ball that seeks out the nearest enemy. The combined
shot will fire a white ball to seek the nearest enemy.
4.2 Punch
Maui seems to like this stuff. It comes in two sizes: small and large.
The small glasses will refill Maui's life by 25. The large jugs will
fully refill Maui's life. Note that this applies to the Ninja as well.
4.3 Yin Yang
These powerups are necessary for Maui to transform into the Ninja. Maui
gets 8 standard Yin Yang powerups soon after entering the Ninja
Training Grounds. The standard Yin Yangs are worth 25 and the orange
Yin Yangs will increase the number of strikes the Ninja can make at
once (as well as providing 100 more Yin Yang power).
4.4 Treasure
This doesn't increase Maui's or the Ninja's capability, but it does
make a step toward attaining the Luau Loot requirement. As you pick up
treasure, the individual % for the current stage will be displayed. You
won't see the total % for the level until you are between stages (the
Luau Loot requirement item changes to Loot Found after Stage 1).
4.5 Life Bag
This is a very valuable item. Be sure you pick it up if you find it.
This will add 50 points to Maui's life total and will add those 50
points to his current life. Very handy, especially in Stage 2 and 3 of
The Test of Duckhood (where Maui plays on the vines). I've seen up to 6
of these in one stage (one of the Sacrifice of Maui stages), boosting
Maui's life to 400.
5. Short Level Descriptions
Note: Luau Loot Requirements are for Normal difficulty. Reduce these
percentages by 5% to attain the Easy requirements. Increase these
percentages by 5% to attain the Hard requirements.
5.1 Mojo Mansion
Story:
Shabuhm Shabuhm, a powerful Mojo idol
Has protected this island for centuries.
Tonight the idol is missing.
Last reported sighting...
Luau Loot Requirement: 50%
This level consists of 5 stages running through a mansion environment.
You will not find Yin Yang power here, as Maui does not yet see a
reason to use his Ninja capabilities. There is treasure aplenty, and
you might have a hard time finding it all (max I've gotten is 96%), but
you should have no problem satisfying the loot requirement. Life bags
can be found somewhat frequently though, and there is plenty of punch
to go around. Hitting the water bottom will cause 1 point of damage
(this is very lenient compared to what other areas will do). This level
may be an introduction to Maui's use throughout the game.
5.2 Ninja Training Grounds
Story:
Giant metal spider? Creeping ghost butlers?
This thing could be deeper than anyone guessed.
Might be time for a change of costume...
Luau Loot Requirement: 55%
This level is primarily made to introduce the capabilities of the
Ninja. Maui will be of no use here, as he cannot harm the enemies, or
advance in many areas of the level. In the early beginning of Stage 1,
Maui receives 8 Yin Yang powerups (the small variety) from the Witch
Doctor (maybe so he can get Maui in Ninja form and steal some of his
power?) There is no such boost in the other stages. Ending up in the
pits will cost one life.
5.3 Muddrake Mayhem
Story:
In the darkest heart of the island, there lives a band of tiny warriors
Who have always carried a torch for Shabuhm Shabuhm.
They'd probably like to have a stuffed Maui mounted on their wall...
Luau Loot Requirement: 60%
This is the first level to combine the Ninja and Maui effectively
(Level 2 was meant to be played as the Ninja only, and the PC version
of this game makes it impossible to do otherwise). You will be
switching between the two forms often, both to progress through the
level and find some secrets. The Muddrakes here are slightly annoying,
but easily beatable. Just keep an eye out for their weapons.
If Maui gets caught in the mud pits, it will have the same effect as
hitting spikes in the Ninja Training Grounds.
5.4 Sacrifice of Maui
Story:
A muddrake alliance has been forged. Not.
The muddrakes have a custom. If you survive their coliseum,
They bestow upon you the ultimate honor.
Luau Loot Requirement: 65%
Come on in to the arena and have some fun! Honestly, this area is quite
annoying. You may find yourself getting tossed up as you were trying to
get some treasure down below. Stage 2 is quite weird here. You'll have
to see it for yourself.
5.5 Test of Duckhood
Story:
"Maui, I was wrong about you."
"You've answered every test of greatness that can be asked of a duck."
"But now, you must make peace with the muddrakes,
For only they know the true path to Shabuhm Shabuhm."
"You must pass their ritual of proof."
Luau Loot Requirement: 70%
This level contains some nice music (well, that's IMO anyway). Stage 1
has Maui swapping between his form and the Ninja, Stages 2 and 3 are
swinging vine stages (have fun on these), Stage 4 is 1/2 vine swinging
and 1/2 going on foot.
5.6 The Flying Duckman
Story:
"Great warrior, you have appeased the object of our terror and awe..
the Frog."
"In thanks I say only Quackoo, our mystic chieftan can divine.."
"..the location of the missing idol Shabuhm Shabuhm."
"Alas, Quackoo is dead."
"His remains rest on the bottom of the sea..."
Luau Loot Requirement: 75%
Yeesh. Probably the most annoying level in the entire game. Stage 1
isn't so bad, but you'll be racing to get done in Stage 2 as the ship
is slowly coming apart. There are quite a few treasures to be had once
you figure out how to use the iron balls attached to tables
effectively.
5.7 Realm of the Dead
Story:
Quackoo's spirit is restless. Aren't they all.
Only by returning him to his final resting place...
Can Shabuhm Shabuhm finally be located.
Luau Loot Requirement: 80%
Steep loot requirement. There is plenty of treasure to be found (Stage
1 has most of it, with 95-97% of the total). Enemies are plenty, while
there aren't many punch containers or Life Bags. You may or may not end
up attaining the loot requirement of this level. Expect to frequently
switch forms in Stage 1. Falling in the pits (Stage 1) or having
Quackoo's spirit removed from the screen (Stage 2) will cost one life.
Pay close attention to Quackoo's spirit during Stage 2.
5.8 The Mojo Stronghold
Story:
"Quackoo has revealed the location of Shabuhm Shabuhm."
"Even now, the Witch Doctor seeks to cast it into the storm..."
"...in a vile attempt to harness its mojo energy."
"Maui, you have become a true ninja. You no longer need the Yin Yang
power to transform."
"The fate of the island rests in your hands. ...right now in..."
No Requirement
As noted in the story, Maui can remain in Ninja form without having to
watch his power meter. It will remain at 999 no matter what he does.
You'll need to use the Ninja to complete this level. There are no
powerups to be found here (the Witch Doctor will dispense some punch
however).
6. Boss Strategies
6.1 Mojo Mansion - Giant Metal Spider
This guy isn't too terribly hard. Wander to the center of the stage
area and it will drop down. It's first phase will involve it wandering
back and forth in the area. Hit it 5-6 times (easy, stand at the left
edge of the stage and just shoot). After it loses its legs, it will hop
around the screen. Take pot shots at it, but watch out for the little
bugs it will drop into the area. It will drop an extra life when it is
defeated.
Rewards:
Phase 2: Extra Life
6.2 Ninja Training Grounds - Ninja Arc
This boss (or group of bosses I should say) is somewhat difficult. It
has 6 attack phases. Phases 1 and 2 will spit out one Ninja to face
Maui. Phases 3 and 4 will spit out a pair of Ninjas to face Maui (note
that he must be in Ninja form). The Ninjas will increase by 1 hit for
each phase (Phase 1 ninjas take 2 hits, Phase 2 ninjas take 3 and so
on). Phases 4 and 5 are much more difficult than the first 3. The
ninjas of Phase 4 can launch a lightning attack at Maui. Phase 5 Ninjas
will launch a fire attack. Be careful while fighting them. Once the
first 5 phases are defeated, a spinning grinder will launch. Hit it 4
times to take it out and earn an extra life.
Note: You can use the arc to get up to the top area where it ejects Yin
Yang coins on occasion. Don't stay up there too long, or you will get
hit by a fire wave.
Rewards:
Phase 1: Yin Yang coin
Phase 2: Punch Glass
Phase 3: Red Yin Yang coin
Phase 4: Punch Jug
Phase 5: Punch Glass
Phase 6: Extra Life
6.3 Muddrake Mayhem - Muddrake Parade
Stage 3 of this level is not just a boss stage. You will need to make
your way here. This will be covered in the walkthrough.
The Muddrakes love shows like this. A group of them will come toward
you in one of their little float-like things. Destroy this to release 3
Muddrakes. Maui must aim for them. The ones aiming for Maui in the
stands can be taken out with one shot. The ones on the ground require 2
shots. The first shot will cause them to lose their pants, at which
they will put them back on. Maui must complete this 3 times to proceed.
Rewards:
Extra Life
The Sacrifice of Maui has no boss. Like the Realm of the Dead Stage 2,
Stage 3 of this level is hard enough without having to fight a boss as
well. Some may argue the enemy near the end of Stage 1 is a boss, but I
don't really think it is. It virtually requires no strategy on my part
(just sit, duck and shoot), but that may be the amount of life I had
while fighting him. The enemy also doesn't have a stage devoted to it
like the other bosses do.
6.4 Test of Duckhood - The Frog
Very interesting boss. The goal is not to destroy him (it's
impossible), but to get him to eat all 8-10 of the muddrakes on top of
the ledges. Maui cannot harm them directly (he can't get up there), so
the only recourse is to make the frog eat them. When a muddrake is on
the edge of the lower platform, shoot the frog, and it will eat the
muddrake. Get back quickly, as the frog will burp a stream of bones
(ewww, that's nasty!) and at times an item (a Life Bag will be given at
the 3rd muddrake) will come out too. The idea of Maui drinking a punch
that the frog burped up doesn't sound too sanitary, but it's a good
idea to grab it if you're taking hits (the muddrakes up top can still
attack). Once all the muddrakes are eaten, Maui will advance.
6.5 The Flying Duckman - The Pirate
This battle occurs just outside the ship (unlike the previous stages of
the level which were inside the ship). Maui must defeat the pirate head
by shooting it. It takes several hits (20?) to go down. It will be
tossing projectiles at Maui during this time. Obviously, Maui can only
hit it if its head is above the ship's side.
Note: The Realm of the Dead has no boss, but the challenge of Stage 2
should suffice.
6.6 The Mojo Stronghold - The Witch Doctor
This is a very hard battle (it's the final battle, what did you
expect?). Maui has unlimited Yin Yang power, so feel free to use it
(watch it though, you can be hurt badly if you are careless). In the
first phase of the battle, Maui must make his way up to each side and
destroy the crystal orbs. If Maui goes above the height they are at or
attempts to enter the center of the arena while they are still
functional, he will be killed. Once both crystals are destroyed, Maui
can enter the center of the arena. The Witch Doctor utilizes lightning
and fire attacks (in the same manner as the Phase 5 ninjas of the Ninja
Arc boss), but will also kick Maui to the other side (causing 20
damage) if he gets too close. The Witch Doctor also teleports from edge
to edge. He takes quite a beating (maybe 20-25 hits) before he'll go
down. Good luck!
7. The Levels
7.1 Mojo Mansion
Stage 1:
Shoot the clock to score a Life Bag. Run into the bookshelf and watch
Maui flip around (it's interesting how the feathers fly here). Grab the
treasure here, scale the vine above the duck head to score some more
treasure (you need to stand on the duck head to be able to reach it).
Watch the wind out here. Go into the bookshelf to come back inside.
Watch out for the ghost butler on the path. Jump onto the dumbwaiter to
move down to the basement area. Run over the little duck head to save
your spot here (you are returned here if you die). Scale the chains
above the fish, being careful not to let them bite you (it's painful).
On the next ledge, shoot up at the tube to drop a platform down that
will enable you to reach the treasure up above. Move over across the
water and be careful to not get hit by the green stuff shooting out.
Grab the bug ammo if you dare (you need to stand on top of the pot to
do so). Cross the next section, being careful not to get nailed by the
pipes coming down (Maui has a creative smashed animation if he gets
splatted). The fireplace will take Maui back up to the main area of the
mansion. Once there, pop the duck head. Use the fan to get up to the
higher ledges. Go left to score a Life Bag and a few treasures. Take
the punch if you need it on the way back. There is a large jug of punch
down below in the clock area (you passed it on the other side of the
wall earlier). If you fall off or go for the punch down below, use a
ledge at the other side of the fans to get up there (this requires
coordination to score all of the treasures). There is nothing on the
top ledge above the final bookshelf. Go through it to complete the
stage.
Stage 2:
Take a detour to the left to score some white bug ammo and a Life Bag.
Run across the platforms. Maui must time his jumps to avoid the water,
as the platforms will fall quickly after being stepped on. The
bookshelf takes you up 3 floors. Step on the yellow areas of the ground
to make the little turning object move over to the left side (watch out
for the spikes it shoots!). Once the noise stops, you know that it is
as far as it will go. Use it to get up to the top. Time your jump just
right to score punch, a diamond and a Life Bag. The bookshelf transfers
Maui up to the top level of this area. Feel free to stand on the yellow
platforms to advance the turntable, but keep an eye for the crushing
pipes. It is advised you are not at the beginning, as there is no
warning there. You need not worry about the spikes on this one, as it
is a little lower than Maui is. Cross it, kill the bug and pop the duck
head, and hit the bookshelf (see about getting the trinket on the other
side first). Cross over to the next turntable obstacle. You must step
on the first yellow platform first because it is on the other one.
Score a Life Bag immediately above, and hang to the right for another
and more treasure (you should be at 300 max life if you've gotten all
the bags right now). Move to the lower of the two ledges to pick up a
punch jug and treasure. Take the upper ledge to the bookshelf that
leaves here.
Stage 3:
This stage is dark, but it is very straightforward. Simply run to the
right, pausing to pick up loot as necessary. Shoot the first clock you
see to drop 2 platforms (be careful where you're standing, Maui could
get nailed). It will also yield a punch glass. Shoot the second clock
to drop 2 platforms (in different spots than the first clock did) to
reach the ammo (and get a punch glass). The bookshelf at the end of the
area will take you out of here.
Stage 4:
You can't go right at this time, so hang left. Watch out for the ghost
butler. The bookshelf takes you up a few floors. Using the dumbwaiter
in the next spot is a bad idea if you want to get treasure, so use the
fans to go up and left. Use the ledges and fan to get up to the very
top (of this little area) and score treasure. Hang right and down a bit
(then go left). After plopping down a second time, hang right again. A
punch jug and some treasure awaits down here. Watch out for the pipes
out of the tubes. The bookshelf takes you to the top of the area. If
you had taken the dumbwaiter (for some strange reason), you would end
up just above this area, simply drop down and hit the bookshelf. Once
out of there, pop the duck head to your left. Head all the way over to
the right and take the dumbwaiter (you have no other choice). Hop on
the fans (don't take the tube) to score some treasure. You need to jump
from about 3/4 up the rope to hit the fan. Hop over the hole to gain an
extra life. If you took the tube, you ended up below this little area.
Once down, pop the duck head (taking the tube makes Maui hit the duck
head) and head right. Grab the treasure and head down the chain (jump
off it to the right, there's no way you can reach the fans from it).
Head on the fans from the little platform for some treasure (careful,
it's easy to miss like I did while writing this). Thankfully, if you do
miss the fans, you won't miss the Life Bag a little later on. Head over
to the left until you reach the piano for maximum treasure. Scale the
chain and be careful of the ghosts. Grab the treasure to the right,
head to the left and pick up the ring to the left of the dumbwaiter.
Pop the duck head and hit the organ (I haven't found a way to snag the
ring on the left of it, if you can, please let me know how so I can
post it here). Scale the organ pipes (weird how Maui does this). On the
third complete row of pipes, hit the center pipe to get boosted above
to the last ledge area.
Stage 5 is the boss stage. This is covered in the Boss Strategies.
7.2 The Ninja Training Grounds
Stage 1:
Head to the right, grabbing treasure as you go (you can't go up and
left just yet). After a little bit, the Witch Doctor will appear, drop
8 Yin Yang coins on Maui, change him into the Ninja, and steal some
power from him. Go back to the left and grab the stuff you missed
earlier. Heading back to the right, defeat the Ninja and grab the Life
Bag. Get the Ninja swinging on the duck head and use it to swing to the
left. Head over the faces to the left, defeating the Ninja on the third
one. Use the duck head to get up on top of the ledge. Swat the snake-
like face to gain 3 Yin Yang coins and a Red Yin Yang coin. The jump to
the next duck head is quite far, so make sure you're close to the ledge
end. You'll reach the first statue here. One at a time, two ducks made
of hay will attack you here. Hit each of them twice (you can time it)
to free up the statue. Once in the statue, head to the right, smashing
columns as you go. Once you get ejected and reach the ground again,
swing from the duck head and scale the walls (Maui can't do this while
he is falling from the statue). Hit the snake head to get 3 more Yin
Yang coins and a Red Yin Yang coin. Once you hit the ground again, the
wall to the right will open. Head over there and stand still on the
teleporter to reach a secret area. Contents: 5 Yin Yang coins, 2
treasures, 1 Life Bag. Time your jumps over the disappearing platforms
here to reach the duck head (you need not jump from the third platform,
use the second one if you need to). The jump is far, but get over there
quickly and grab the next duck head with Maui's staff. Once back out of
the secret area, use the duck head to jump above the Ninja coming
toward Maui, and hit another snake head. Use the duck heads to cross
the gap (go down below for a bit for some treasure). You need to make a
far jump to get over to the final ledge. Moving left from there, you'll
see another statue, this time 3 hay ducks will attack (one at a time
again). Cross all the way over to the left. Once all the columns are
smashed, the whole level will drop a bit. Once the statue is completely
at the left, it will eject Maui. Scale the walls up a bit. Drop down to
the right of the top and go right to reach another teleporter. Grab the
treasure and the Yin Yang coins. A punch jug is to the right of the
teleporter. Back on top, go over to the right and scale the walls up.
DON'T TAKE THAT TELEPORTER YET! Go left, swinging on the duck heads to
get some more treasure. Return back, and NOW take the teleporter.
Small note: with this path, I only got 92% of the treasure here. If
anyone knows of any treasure that I missed, please tell me.
Stage 2:
Head up, then shoot the snake-like mouth thing to grab some Yin-Yang
coins (you need these to continue). Then head right, grab the lamp, and
use the Ninja's bo to scale the wall. Defeat the blue ninja on top. Use
the Ninja's bo to grab the Yin Yang coins in the center just out of
reach of your jumps. Drop down, collect the Life Bag and the treasures,
and then defeat the straw ducks coming from the statue (there are 4 of
them). Head to the right until the statue spits you out. Continue to
the right, grabbing the stuff along the way. Drop down and activate the
save point. Scale the wall, and beware that the grey blocks
disintegrate soon after they're hit. Head up to the left, whack the
snake head, and then scale the next wall. Head to the right, grabbing
the Life Bag and defeating the blue ninja that comes up. Use the duck-
head to swing to the left. Grab the stuff on the ledge and drop off to
the left of it. Do not drop off of this ledge to the right (you can get
back up if you do though). Use the duck-heads to swing to the left and
grab the treasures on the high left ledge. Grab the Life Bag, and whack
the snake head. Drop down, jump to activate the save point, and then
drop down to the right. Scale back up on the other side (grabbing the
stuff on the platform), return to the save point and this time drop off
the left side of it. Scale up the left wall, making note of the grey
blocks. Scale up using two duck heads, and get off on the ledge to the
right. Defeat the red ninja, and use the high duck head to get to the
ledge to the left. Grab the goodies and move back to the right. Drop to
the bottom, head to the left to grab some stuff and move back to the
right. Scale the wall up to the right. Scale the wall on the right of
the next ledge, grabbing the treasures on top of it, and then drop
down. Get the treasures to the left, and then exit to the right.
Stage 3:
Start moving to the right. Watch the jump between the two huge duck
heads, it's easy to come short and lose a life as a result. Jump from
one of the huge heads up onto the platform on top (be sure you've taken
Ninja form first, Maui's shots are useless against the ninjas. Defeat
the lone ninja up here, and grab the goodies. Jump onto the moving
platform (watch out for those spikes), and head off to the right,
grabbing the stuff you see. Use the duck head to swing up. Jump onto
the huge head, whack the snake head and grab the coins that come out
(as usual). Jump to the left onto the small leaf platform, then scale
the wall. After getting those treasures, drop down, then head to the
leaf platform to the right. Scale the wall over to the huge duck head,
grab the goodies and whack another snake head. Drop down, go onto the
ledge underneath (this is needed to clear the grey blocks on the top),
then come back out onto the leaf platform and get back up on the huge
duck head at the top of the wall. The grey blocks will be gone and you
can jump down and grab the treasures and coins. Drop all the way down
to the duck head that you used to get up to that area, and continue to
the right. Activate the save point.
Grab the treasures in sight of the save point, jump onto the leaf
platform then catch the spiked platform for a ride across. Jump off,
then drop down. Use the duck head to get onto the leaf platforms and
head to the right. Activate the next save point.
Use the duck head to get up to where the treasures are, while keeping
an eye on the disappearing platforms. You can either head up to the
right and access the end teleporter, or continue with this level and
bag some more treasures.
If you are going to get some more treasures, head off to the left (the
jump may be a bit difficult). Head to the left edge of the platform,
grab the duck head and jump off to the left to scale a wall. Drop down
to the right and grab the treasures. You can then swing from the duck
heads back to the right to get to the end teleporter.
Stage 4 is the boss stage. Look at the Boss Strategies for this one.
7.3 Muddrake Mayhem
Stage 1:
It may be a good idea to blast the thing above you, but it will come
back. Head off to the right. Jump over the hump and then blast the
muddrake that is roaming around. Climb the pole (if you let go of the
button, Maui will slide back down). Jump over, and try to get a grip on
the pole in the water (don't miss or you will lose 10 life points).
Jump onto the spinning platform (that's looks only, it will not affect
Maui). Jump across to activate the save point. Note that there is a
platform directly underneath the save point with a couple goodies.
Continue across. Watch out for the muddrake with the big sawblade
(that's bigger than he is). Jump underneath to go for some treasure.
The platforms will disintegrate in a few seconds, so get off them
quickly. After you've gotten the treasure underneath, head back out
(the disappearing platforms will be back). Jump onto the platform, then
jump up to secure a Life Bag. Transform into the Ninja and use the duck
heads to move to the left, bagging the treasure you see. Note that if
you fall, you will be back at the beginning of the level again. Return
to the area near the duck head you used to go grab the treasure. Head
to the right, drop down and get another save point.
Note: I accidentally managed to end this level earlier than I intended
to on the walkthrough, so for now, this stage walkthrough will remain
incomplete.
Stage 2:
Head up the rope. Jump off to the left and grab the next rope. Grab the
stuff to the right, then fall back down. Head back up the rope, then
jump to the right, trying to land on the platform. Shoot at the
muddrake, then head up to his platform when he's gone. Grab the
treasures on it, then head back off to the right. Watch out for the
mudballs coming down, and beware the muddrakes with sawblades. Shoot
the cork at the end, get out of the way of the mud, then head back
down. You can now jump over the platform and activate the save point.
Grab the Life Bag, and a muddrake warlock will shrink Maui. Move
through the small houses while defeating the muddrakes (you need to
whack all of the ones in the house you're in before you can leave it).
At the end of the string, activate the save point.
Follow the path, jumping the gap underneath at first, to grab some
treasures. Then come back and fall through the gap, and head to the
left. Activate the save point here.
Get the treasures, but beware of the falling platforms. You will end up
at an extra life, once you get it, it's time to head back. After
passing the save point again, keep heading right. Get the treasures
down low first, before heading back up. At the top, head to the right,
next to a muddrake warlock which will change Maui back to normal. Grab
the stuff you see, being careful not to go to the tent (unless you want
to end the stage). Head to the left, using the Ninja form to use the
duck heads to get all the treasure, then head back to the right to the
tent and the stage exit.
Stage 3:
Grab the stuff you can see, and head off to the right. Hang low for a
Life Bag and some treasures. Then go back and take the ramps up. Note
that as you pass each Muddrake emblem, they will come up after you (and
they don't seem to stop, so don't bother removing them). Just head up
each ramp, going to the end of it to check for treasures, then move to
the next one. At the end of the last ramp, jump onto the mud
structures. Hit the save point, grab the large punch, and head through
to fight the boss of this level. See the Boss Strategies for tips on
defeating it.
