kid dracula falls to here-> * |
-----------------------------------
Go forward and onto clouds. Shoot upward to kill the witches. Go on
two sets of clouds. One that goes up, and one that goes down. Now
to... the rollar coaster! Here's what the rollar coaster does (follow
directions!). It goes down, jump over a turtle. It goes up again,
jump over another turtle. It goes down and into two loops. At the
beginning of the second loop, duck under a bird. Now zeus appears,
dodge him until he leaves and then it goes into loops again. At the
top of the second loop duck. The rollar coaster goes down, then it
goes up. Stay still on the front car of the rollar coaster. Zeus
blows up the back car. Now he is above you. Move to the side of the
car that zeus is on (ex. If he is to your left, go to the left edge of
the car and duck) and duck. Now he will fall behind you and then he
will fly back never to be seen again. Now the rollar coaster takes a
small dip. Jump over a turtle. The rc (rollar coaster) jumps, duck!
Another jump, jump over the turtle, one last jump, duck! Now the
rollar coaster will fall. When it is under the other rc jump up onto
it. The last loop. At the top of it, duck to avoida UFO. Now stay
still and you will go flying. When you land you will be at the boss.
Stage 4
----- -
Mini Map-
This level consists of four areas a,b,c,d that would be represented by
four straight lines, therefore there is not need for a mini map.
You are on a boat. Watch out for cannons and use your normal power to
kill the mini-reapers. This part is simple. Once you are in the next
part. Kill the skeleton and then get on the platform once it comes
down so you can go across. Repeat this again and then switch to bat
power. Now wait for the platform to go up and then quickly fly under.
Repeat this and then dodge barrels and go to the next area. Jump on
the bridge to go down. Now use upsidedown power to get up. Now go
down another bridge. Cross the gap to get a heart power. Now go up
using upsidedown and cross the spikes with bat. Go down the bridge,
right and into the next area. Go left to meet the boss.

When you start out, get on the platform. In this level you will not be
able to use upsidedown or bat powers. Jump off the platform and onto
another one because they keep sinking. This level is short but pretty
hard. You will get the hang of it though. Just keep jumping. If you
see a robot just jump onto the platform he is on but quickly before you
land, shoot him. Also there are astronaughts you might have to kill.
When you get to the top, kill a lot of UFO's and get ready for the
boss!

The first part of this level is pretty hard. Use your upsidedown power
to get around the lava in the beginning. But be careful. There will
be lava on the ceiling in a while. If this happens then you can just
jump over when the lava rings are not active. After this part. Take
out your umbrella. Go forward and if a volcano explodes, get under the
umbrella. If there is a fire horse, just walk forward and kill him
with the umbrella. After this you will be at the boss.

When you start out you will have to kill these mining guys. It's kind
of easy. Just watch out because the ceiling falls. The next part is
where the trouble's at. You have to use your bomb, quickly because
these rows of blocks are going up and down, make to holes to get
through. Practice a little before attempting to make it through. Now
the ceiling is trying to crush you! Duck into the spaces but inn some
you have to use your bomb to make room. After this you're home free!
Well... after you beat the boss that is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
This stage is pretty hard. Probably because it's the final stage. In
the first part, go over and the screen will start chasing you down.
Keep going down but make sure not to go off the screen because you die.
Before you go down a step, check to make sure there aren't spikes on
both sides. If there are, go a different way, but fast. When it
stops, go right and kill some robots to get to the next part. In this
part get onto the hover belts to go up. Keep getting on and off to go
slower so you can see whats ahead of you. Always have your bat power
charged up so you can get off the belt, if there's a spike, and fly
somewhere else. Try to get the heart power up, although it's pretty
hard. After that just stick to the middle belt. But be ready to get
off to go to the next part. In the next part. Look above you to see
if a drill is falling or not. You can see this because there eyes move
faster than normal. After that part don't go to fast because the floor
can sometimes dissapear. Next just walk and don't stop until there is
ceiling again so the drills won't hit you. Uh-Oh someones mistaken you
for Sigourney Weaver. Kill him with your normal power. But your not
done yet. Get out your umbrella and keep walking forward (don't stop).
Now at the end of that, put away your umbrella and make room for the
final boss. If you need help, look at the boss strategies section.
Good Luck!

***********************************************************************
-=Boss Strategies=-
Ghosts
------
When the little ghost comes out, he starts jumping up and down. Just
charge up and let it go at the moment he comes down so it will hit him.
Then he starts walking back and forth so jump over him. When he runs
away crying, a bigger ghost will come out. Do the same thing but this
time you have to jump over fire balls. Now comes grandpa ghost. You
can't hit him with your fire balls and he doesn't jump eitheir. Just
jump over him as he walks by and then after a while he will just fall
down.
Jason
-----
At first, Jason comes out of the cabin to get his axe out of the tree,
jump over him and then throw everything you got at him while he is
pulling his axe out. Now he will walk back and forth. Jump over him
and shoot him. When he lifts up his axe, move back so you don't get
hit. Now he comes out with a gun. Stand under him then move away so
he shoots downward. Now jump up and throw fire balls at the roof. He
will shoot twice and then jump down, so move back. Now he doesn't
shoot he just walks back and forth until he goes into his cabin to go
on the roof again. Just jump over him and don't get too close. He
will be dead soon.
Chicken!
--------
This guy is pretty hard. Get out your homing missle and start charging
up to shoot at him. Try to always be far away from him because he lets
out eggs that form to little chickens. If you see him stop and you are
right under him, get in the middle of the two eggs and then jump over
them. When you take out the chicken, an egg comes. It just bounces up
and down. Shoot it until it falls and starts to crack. Now get away
and be prepared because two chickens will fly each way. Kill the
chicken that flies your way and then you're done.
Scythe Wielder and Robot
------ ------- --- -----
For the first part, switch to the bat attack. The scythe weilder will
fly back and forth and then throw out a scythe. When he does this,
jump over the scythe and shoot him with your bat attack. Only six hits
of this kills him! Now for the robot. Switch to your upsidedown
attack. Now go to the right hand side of the screen and duck. Go
upside down, duck and shoot about four bullets and then go back down.
This is because he shoots out a laser, when you duck his hand won't get
you but his laser will. Repeat this process. Always remember that
when you are on the ground you have to duck.
Alien!
------
For his first form switch to the bat attack. Always charge up when you
aren't already. Stand next to him and use it while always ducking to
avoid his laser beam. Then he will jump over you. Repeat this
process. For his second form, switch to your normal attack. He will
walk across the screen, at which point you should go all the way to the
right, then he will walk back and throw three bombs. Keep to the left
for the first two and when he throws the third one, jump over it. Now
shoot at his head when it comes out. When he is destroyed he will come
out of his ship. Just throw a fire ball at him and he will die.
Fire Horse
---- -----
For this boss use your normal attack. Stand in the middle. Three
tiles in the floor get lower and then the fire horse will come from the
right side of the screen running and then run upward once he gets to
the left side of the screen and then fly off leaving a little horse.
Here's what to do. When he is not on the screen always stand in the
middle because you don't know which tile will go down. If the middle
tile goes down you don't have to move. Just charge up and shoot him
then duck as he rides over you. If the left tile goes down then go to
it and shoot him twice if you have time and then duck. If the right
tile comes down, duck immediately and charge up. When he passes you
shoot him. After one of these three things happen, stand on the left
side to shoot the little fire horse that comes down and then go back to
the middle again. If you can get this pattern down, then you will be
able to beat this guy without getting hit.
Robot
-----
At first, all you have to do is shoot a bomb at the wall so a block
will fly over and hit the robot. The robot will do the same to you so
watch out. Next a ladder will drop down. Scale up and down it while
shooting bombs and dodging the robots blocks. This boss isn't very
hard but it is pretty fun.
Lord Garamoth
---- --------
The final boss. His first form, he goes around and then he shoots out
two lighting bolts as he moves around, then he shoots a diagonal
lightning bolt and then he opens his mouth and waits a moment and
shoots a fire ball straight down. You should always be under him. As
he moves, you move, that way you avoid his double lightning attack.
When you see only one ball, this indicates he will do his diagonal
lightning attack. When this happens, go to the side where you see the
ball. Then when the lightning goes away, run under him and shoot a
bomb, or a normal shot, upward.
His second form. He will come down from the sky. Always go to
the side of the screen. He just jumps up and down. He has three
different jumps. One that is so short that you can only make it under
him if you have perfect timing. The second one is a normal jump that
gives you a moment to get under. The last one is a huge jump from one
side of the screen to another. When he does his jump (type #3), he
opens his mouth, this is your chance to shoot a bomb or a normal shot
upward to do some damage. Try to figure out his pattern quickly so
that you can make it under those small jumps! Good luck!

-=Mini Games=-
Between every level a witch asks you if you want to play some games.
There are two types of games life games, and the coin game. To get
coins for games just kill enemies, each enemy gives you a coin.
The Coin Game-
|8|16|24|32|80| <- The bets are set up as follows
|6|12|18|24|60|
|4|8 |12|16|40|
|2|4 |6 |8 |20|
|-|--|--|--|--|
|2|4 |6 |8 |* |
You can choose from five categories, and each categorie has four levels
you can bet on. The first level costs 2 coins, the second, 4, the
third, 6 and the last costs 8. Each category corresponds to a number
on the board. For example, there are four twos on the board. So if
you bet on the second level of two (4) and the spinner lands on the
same category (2). You win 4 coins. Each category is harder than the
next because there are less squares of that category on the board. If
the spinner lands on zero, you don't win anything. Place your bet and
choose start! Good Luck!
Life Games-
The witch has four crystal balls which have a letter. The letters
correspond to four different games. She will mix them up and then ask
you which you want. The one you choose is the one you play. Each game
costs ten coins.
A- Grab bat
B- Stick Em
C- RPS
D- Jump and Pop
Grab Bat- You have a limited time to catch bats with a net. For every
five you get, the number of lives you get doubles.
5 bats- 1 live
10 bats- 2 lives
15 bats- 4 lives
and so on
Stick Em- Put as many swords into a skeleton before his head pops off.
4 swords- 1 live
8 swords- 2 lives
12 swords- 4 lives
and so on
RPS (Rock Paper Scissors)- Choose R,P or S and press A. If you beat
him. Press A or B to attack and get a point. If you lose press down
or left to defend. If you attack when he won, he wins the round. If
he wins twice the game ends. If you win five times the game ends. At
the end of the game you get a 1up for each round you won. The max
lives you can win is 5.
Jump and Pop- Press A and B when you land to jump up again. Hit
ballons to get lives. I think the scoring is the same as in Grab Bat
but I'm not sure. You have 30 seconds.
