001-General Information
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is a walkthrough for the Nintendo Entertainment System
(NES) game called Bignose the Caveman. If you want to tell
me something, e-mail me at [email protected],
but make the subject blank if you do. If you want to use
part of this guide for something, please ask first.

002-Story
-----------------------------------------------------------

Bignose is chasing a pterodactyl in an attempt to kill it
so he can have dinner.

003-Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------

Bignose: The main character. He doesn’t appear to be
that smart, but give him a break, he’s a caveman.

Pterodactyl: Bignose’s dinner, if Bignose ever catches
it.

Stegosaurus: A small purple enemy.

Triceratops: The first boss that Bignose meets. You know,
the dinosaurs were all dead before cave men came into being.

Dimetrodon: I think that’s the right name for the orange
dinosaur in the game.

Baby dinosaur: A small, stationary dinosaur.

Triceratops: A small purple dinosaur.

Flinstones: A dinosaur whose design was apparently affected
by the Flinstones.

Spider: An eight legged enemy.

Scorpio: A scorpion-like boss.

Pterodactyl: A flying dinosaur.

Moby Dick: White whales that attack you.

Serpentia: A sea serpent.

Turtle: Sometimes a bad guy, sometimes a stepping stone.

Hummingbird: A weird choice of a bad guy.

Fish: A fish (Wow! Really?) that can kill Bignose.

Rocky: A rock-colored boss.

Rat: Orange rats. Weird.

Lavati: A lava boss.

Cobra: Snake enemy.

Saber tooth tiger: A mean boss.

Bat: A flying mammal that eats insects.

Fishman: A boss that is a big fish.

004-Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------

Before you start playing, there’s some stuff you should know.
By pressing A, you make Bignose jump. By pressing B, he
uses his club. Bignose gets points for collecting bones.
What’s really important is collecting grapes, because they
level up Bignose. However, if you get hit, your level
up goes away.

Bignose dies easily, so be cautious. Also, you can hold
B to have Bignose constantly attack.

004a-Paradise Island
-----------------------------------------------------------

Part One
--------

Okay, walk right. A stegosaurus runs at you, hit it with
your club or jump over it. Get the two bones, and continue
right. Jump over the next stegosaurus and over that hole
in the ground (get the bone in midair).

Get the bones and the grapes here. Press B to see the
effect of getting the grapes. Great! Jump over the gap
to your right (get the bone) on the other side), then jump
over two successive gaps.

Kill or jump over the stegosaurus that attacks, and get the
bone there. Jump over two gaps, get the bone, and then
jump over two more gaps. Go right here (you meet another
stegosaurus) and get the bone. Jump over the big gap there
onto the ground.

Kill the stegosaurus that comes, and get the grapes. Go
right and you meet the boss, a triceratops.

Triceratops is easy if you have the grapes. Go as far left
as you can, turn right, and press B constantly to fire at
the triceratops. It dies after four hits.

Part Two
--------

Attack the stegosaurus that comes for you. When you hit it
with the grape attack, a bone is left behind. Get the bone
before it falls, and start going right.

Get the grapes, and jump the gap. You meet a new dinosaur,
a dimetrodon. Beat it like a stegosaurus. Go right, and
get the three bones along the way. Right of the third bone
is a stegosaurus, so don’t accidentally land on it after you
get the bone.

Right past that is a rock. It does nothing. Right past
the rock is two dimetrodons, one has a bone. Kill them.
Get the bone right of that before jumping the gap.

Past the gap, a stegosaurus and a dimetrodon attack. Kill
them and go on. Note the grapes in the tree; get them before
jumping the gap.

Jump the next gap, getting the bone in midair. Jump the next
gap, and go across the platform with a rock on it. Jump
the gap at the end, and start going right. A stegosaurus
comes at you very quickly, so be prepared. It has a bone
inside it as well.

Past the second stegosaurus is another gap. Cross it and
walk on. Just after the rock is a dimetrodon; look out for
it. Cross the gap and get the two bones in the air. Cross
the next gap (a dimetrodon is waiting for you at the end of
your jump), then simply continue on through this area to
the boss.

The boss is a triceratops again. It’s just as easy to beat
as it was last time.

Part Three
----------

From here, you can enter three shops. Depending on the
number of bones you have, you can buy various things. Choose
a shop (or none), buy what you want, and leave to truly
start the third level. The shop in the middle offers spells,
the one on the left offers better club techniques, and the
one on the right is a mix of the other two.

Go right and kill the baby dinosaur (a new enemy). Fall down
the gap instead of jumping it.

Yay, a secret place! The first baby dinosaur here has a
bone. Get the bones in the secret area, and at the end,
ride the platform up and jump to get back to the main part
of the level.

Start heading right. Kill the baby dinosaur. Continue right
and kill the triceratops and the baby dinosaur. When you
drop down to the lower level, a triceratops with a bone will
attack you, so look out for it.

Continue right; go up the tree and get the bone. If you
need grapes, continue along up the trees; if not, go back to
the ground and head right. Get the bone and look out for
triceratopses.

Past the trees, continue on (a triceratops attacks here),
and jump on that stump. It rises up, jump off it to the
tree branch. Jump off the tree branch over the gap.

Kill the baby dinosaurs here (the first one has a bone) and
get the bone above the stump. Jump to the tree branch, and
from here, jump from branch to branch, getting bones along
the way.

Once you land on normal ground again, you’ll come across a
stump with baby dinosaurs on either side. Kill the baby
dinosaurs (the second one has a bone), and get the bone above
the stump. Go right to meet the boss.

The boss is a Flinstones dinosaur. It can shoot fireballs
at you. At no time should you be at the left hand side of
the screen, as it can fire about 5 rapid fireballs at you
when you are there, and it is near impossible to dodge them
all.

A good idea is to stay within the black area of the background,
going out of it only to dodge fireballs. All the while,
hit the dinosaur with grapes. After about ten hits, he
dies.

Part Four
---------

Walk straight right to fall down into another hidden area.
Go right to the end, killing enemies along the way (some
have bones). At the end, go up to the main area.

Go right here, and kill the baby dinosaur. A platform moves
left and right over the gap, jump on it, and get to the
other side of the gap. The tricky part is that you can’t
ride the platform; if you stand still, you fall off and die.
Not really difficult, but more unexpected.

Once you cross the gap, continue right. After dropping down,
a triceratops with a bone attacks, so be ready.

Go right up the stair thing, and fall off. Get the two
bones left of the cliff, then head right. New enemies, spiders,
are here, but they’re easy to kill.

Past the spider, jump on the cliff, and jump up the tree
branches. You make it to a cloud place. Jump to the cliff,
and off it onto the cloud in midair. Jump off the cloud to
the two bones, and then fall down the gap in the clouds on
your left.

You’ll land on ground (if you land on the tree, you can jump
up to a hidden shop and a cloud level). Go right, and jump
on the tree stump. A gap right of you shortens so you can
jump it normally; do so.

After the gap, get the grapes. Now you have a bunch of trees;
jump from tree to tree, getting bones and killing spiders
on the way. Past it is the boss, Scorpio.

Oh no, it’s a prehistoric X-man!

Actually, that’s the wrong Scorpio. This Scorpio is a
nasty scorpion thing that shoots fire from its stinger.

Okay, this guy isn’t hard to beat when you know what to do.
Stand directly left of the rock on the ground. Jump the
fire Scorpio shoots at you; don’t move left or right. Get
used to jumping the fire like that. Now all you have to do
is press B while jumping to throw grapes at it. Eventually,
Scorpio dies.

Part Five
---------

Okay, this part is side scrolling. If you don’t know what
that means, you will when you play this level. The background
moves automatically, and Bignose is forced to keep up.

This level has a lot of clouds. The jumps aren’t too hard;
the side scrolling is what makes the level hard. Also,
pterodactyls fly around this level, so look up for them.
They show up where your character wants to be (up top with
the bones), so be careful as they can pop out from nowhere.

As with pretty much all of the side scrolling levels I cover
(I can’t remember any exceptions), I won’t provide instructions
for it. It’d be pointless as the point of side scrolling
is moving fast, and you can’t do that if you have to check
a guide every few seconds.

At the end, the boss is a pterodactyl. Stand in the left-most
part of the screen and press B a lot. When the pterodactyl
flies at you in a straight line (as opposed to it flying
up and down), jump over it to the right, and get back to
the left corner when it’s gone. Try to hit it the whole
time, and it dies after about five hits.

Part Six
--------

You get to visit the three shops again, just like last time.
The next level is side scrolling like the last one.

Here, Bignose is using his club like a propeller. Press
A to move up, and B to hit something. Note that you can’t
land on anything at the bottom of the screen.

Pterodactyls are amuck in this part, as well as whales.
Moby Dicks are at the bottom of the screen, and they spout out
water at Bignose.

Try to be in the middle of the screen at all times so new
enemies won’t come out and surprise you.

At the end is the boss, Serpentia. It’s a sea serpent that
sticks its head out of the sea and moves the head back and
forth.

I think the best idea here is to be at the top left hand
corner of the screen. Wait until Serpentia pops up, and
if it doesn’t pop up on the left hand part of the screen,
go down and hit it. Then go back up, and repeat until it’s
dead. That’s the end of this level!

004b-Monster Island
-----------------------------------------------------------

Okay, the cutscene makes no sense. Bignose is sleeping,
then he falls off a cliff going after Pterodactyl, then he’s
sleeping again, and suddenly he’s on a new island.

Oh well. Jump over the rock and kill the turtle, a new
enemy. Walk right into the gap.

You fall into a hidden area. Go right across it (there
are two turtles there, and they aren’t easy to kill), and
go up at the end.

Go right and jump over the water (water kills Bignose).
A hummingbird attacks you as you go right, so look out.
When you reach the next bit of water, you’ll notice there
are turtles that move up and down. Jump on the turtles
when they are up at the surface to get across.

Past the turtles, jump up to the tree and get on the highest
branch. Jump right off it onto another tree branch. Keep
going right (if you hit the rock, a rather pointless
earthquake takes place). Past the rock is a turtle.

Get the bone over the stump. Past that is one of those
groups of trees. You know what to do; jump from tree to
tree, getting bones and avoiding enemies along the way.

Past the trees is some water with the up/down turtles on
it. There are only two turtles, so you have to jump from the
second turtle to the end. Past that is the same thing,
except with three turtles.

Past that, jump up to the platform in midair and go across
it. Get the bones (two turtles are on the platform too).
At the end of the platform is the boss, Rocky.

Boy, he does look like a rock, doesn’t he? Here’s how to
beat him: Get to the left of the rock on the ground (the
one left of Rocky), and press B rapidly until he dies. That’s
it.

Part Two
--------

You get to visit the three shops before this part, which
takes place inside a cave. Ooh, spooky. Luckily Bignose
is a caveman, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

Run right and jump to the platform in midair. As soon as
you land, press B to attack the rat that comes at you. The
second platform right of this one has a rat on it; kill the
rat, and continue right (get the grapes), then fall down the
hole with the bone in front of it.

Go right, get the two bones, and jump back up into the cave.
That was simple. Note that landing on the spikes doesn’t
kill you in this game.

Walk right through the pillar (a rat is directly after it).
Next is a pool of lava that will kill Bignose, so you have
to carefully jump and not fall into the lava. Don’t get
hit by the drippy ceiling while you’re at it. Good luck,
this is actually kind of difficult.

Past the rat who is walking back and forth is the boss,
Lavati. Lavati is a lava monster that pops out of the lava,
floats around, and then goes back into the lava. You can’t
touch the lava or Lavati, of course.

Stay on the left hand part for the first two attacks, then
get to the third pillar. After the third attack, go on
the right side for two attacks, then to the left side. You
should be able to kill Lavati in that time.

Part Three
----------

Walk right. There are turtles on the water. Your strategy
here isn’t hard, but it isn’t easy either. Jump right onto
the turtles, getting the bone and pressing B in midair to
kill the fish. Once you land on the turtles, jump right
to safe land, getting the bone from the fish.

From here, go right, and jump from platform to platform
(if you fall, you land in the water and drown). At the last
one, jump onto the righter turtle, and then to normal land
(get the grapes in mid-jump).

Keep going right. You have to jump across a bunch of water
again, but this time fish get in the way. Hold down the B
button and you shouldn’t have to worry about them.

The jumping across water with fish in it continues for the
whole level. You then get to the boss, and it’s Rocky
again, with a little bird to help him kill Bignose. Hold
B the whole time, and avoid the bird to kill Rocky.

Part Four
---------

Back in the caves again. A rat comes at you, kill it.
Walk right (right of the rock is another rat, hiding in the
stalagmites). If you hit the rock, the ceiling leaks on top
of you.

Jump to the platform, then fall down to the pit with a
bone in it. Walk across that area, then jump back up to
the normal level.

Walk right (beware of the rat in the stalagmites). Jump
over the lava, and kill the rat waiting for you. Go right
and get the bone (if you break the rock from the left, you
get grapes). Fall through the hole in the bottom of the
screen three times in a row.

Kill the spider, go right, and up through the gap in the
ceiling.

This room just...SUCKS!!! See the rock on the left (the
one in midair). Run/jump off of it right onto the rock there.
You timing has to be just perfect. This is perhaps the
hardest thing in the game so far. Once you make it, jump
through the ceiling.

The next level is home to three spiders. Kill the two on
the bottom, then climb up the left wall, go right, kill
the spider there, and jump through the ceiling.

Go right here (there’s a rat in the stalagmites). Jump right
off this platform onto the rock (if you land on the one in
midair, kill the spider for a bone). If not, land one the
one in the lava. If neither, you’re dead.

Jump right to the platform there. Jump right over the gap,
and kill the rat hiding in the stalagmites.

Keep going right and kill the two spiders. Jump across the
gap. Continue right, and jump up through the gap in the
ceiling when you reach it.

Jump on the rock in midair, and jump right onto the high
platform. Before going down, remember there’s a rat waiting
for you in the stalagmites. Kill the spider and go down
through the gap in the floor.

Continue right and get the grapes. Right right of that is
Lavati again. Kill Lavati just like last time.

Part Five
---------

You get to visit the three shops before this level. Cool.

Those lazy programmers. This is the same as part four on
the last island, with the enemies and background slightly
changed. Same strategy applies though. Here’s that
strategy again:

Walk straight right to fall down into another hidden area.
Go right to the end, killing enemies along the way (some
have bones). At the end, go up to the main area.

Go right here, and kill the baby dinosaur. A platform moves
left and right over the gap, jump on it, and get to the
other side of the gap. The tricky part is that you can’t
ride the platform; if you stand still, you fall off and die.
Not really difficult, but more unexpected.

Once you cross the gap, continue right. After dropping down,
a triceratops with a bone attacks, so be ready.

Go right up the stair thing, and fall off. Get the two
bones left of the cliff, then head right. New enemies, spiders,
are here, but they’re easy to kill.

Past the spider, jump on the cliff, and jump up the tree
branches. You make it to a cloud place. Jump to the cliff,
and off it onto the cloud in midair. Jump off the cloud to
the two bones, and then fall down the gap in the clouds on
your left.

You’ll land on ground (if you land on the tree, you can jump
up to a hidden shop and a cloud level). Go right, and jump
on the tree stump. A gap right of you shortens so you can
jump it normally; do so.

After the gap, get the grapes. Now you have a bunch of trees;
jump from tree to tree, getting bones and killing spiders
on the way. Past it is the boss, Scorpio.

Okay, this guy isn’t hard to beat when you know what to do.
Stand directly left of the rock on the ground. Jump the
fire Scorpio shoots at you; don’t move left or right. Get
used to jumping the fire like that. Now all you have to do
is hold B while jumping to throw grapes at it. Eventually,
Scorpio dies.

Part Six
--------

Walk right. Jump onto the first turtle, then jump to the
second turtle after that (you skip over a turtle, get the
grapes in mid-air during your jump). Jump off it to normal
land.

Get the bones and run right (a hummingbird flies at you from
behind). Luckily, if you don’t stop, you fall out of the
hummingbird’s reach. Destroy the rock there for an extra
life.

From there, jump from turtle to turtle until you reach a
bit of normal land with a rock. Destroy the rock, and you
beat the level without having to fight the boss. Cool.

Part Seven
----------

Sheesh, just like the last part of the last world. Only
this time, the whales have been replaced by volcanoes that
you can’t touch. Look out for the flying enemies.

Try to be in the middle of the screen at all times so new
enemies won’t come out and surprise you.

What’s REALLY weird is that you get sent back into that
level this one is a rip-off of. It’s weird.

At the end is the boss, Serpentia. It’s a sea serpent that
sticks its head out of the sea and moves the head back and
forth.

I think the best idea here is to be at the top left hand
corner of the screen. Wait until Serpentia pops up, and
if it doesn’t pop up on the left hand part of the screen,
go down and hit it. Then go back up, and repeat until it’s
dead. That’s the end of this level!

004c-Terror Island
-----------------------------------------------------------

Great, another weird cutscene. Bignose sleeps, then you see
him walk to the Flinestones dinosaur. The dinosaur shoots
a fireball at him, then Bignose jumps into some water to
cool off. Then you see Bignose asleep again, and suddenly
he’s on another island.

You get to visit the shops again.

Part One
--------

This is getting to be ridiculous. Did the programmers
honestly think that they could repeat a level by changing
the graphics and that no one would notice? This is just
the same as level one’s part two, except with some bone
places down below that you can reach. Here’s your strategy:

Attack the enemy that comes for you. When you hit it
with the grape attack, a bone is left behind. Get the bone
before it falls, and start going right.

Get the grapes, and jump the gap. You meet an enemy. Go
right, and get the three bones along the way. Right of
the third bone is an enemy, so don’t accidentally land on it
after you get the bone.

Right past that is a rock. Hit it and the screen shakes.
Right past the rock is two enemies, one has a bone.
Kill them. Get the bone right of that before jumping the
gap.

Past the gap, two enemies attack. Kill them and go on.
Note the grapes in the tree; get them before jumping the
gap.

Jump the next gap, getting the bone in midair. Jump the next
gap, and go across the platform with a rock on it. Jump
the gap at the end, and start going right. An enemy
comes at you very quickly, so be prepared. It has a bone
inside it as well.

Past the second enemy is another gap. Cross it and
walk on. Just after the rock is an enemy; look out for
it. Cross the gap and get the two bones in the air. Cross
the next gap (an enemy is waiting for you at the end of
your jump), then simply continue on through this area to
the boss.

The boss is a triceratops again. It’s even easier to beat
than it was last time you met it since you’re more experienced
at playing Bignose.

Part Two
--------

Jump to the platform in midair (kill the scorpion on it) and
to the next platform in midair.

Here’s a cool shortcut that you wouldn’t expect. While in
the middle of this platform, jump straight up. You’re in
a bone-filled cloud land. Go right through this area, getting
the bones, and go down at the end.

Go to the platform in midair right of this one. Once again,
jump up through the top to another bone cloud place, drop
down when you’re done.

Go right here. Before jumping right, kill the scorpion
on the platform in midair so you don’t land on it. Jump
to that small platform in midair.

Walk right off it, but don’t jump. Land on that strangely
colored platform in midair. It lifts you up high, jump
right off that onto some platforms you would have otherwise
been unable to reach.

Go right (there are two scorpions waiting for you). Jump
to the platform right of it, and to the platform right
of that. Kill the flying dinosaur that comes at you, then
jump right to another platform.

Jump to the platform right of this, and to the one right
of that. Kill the flying dinosaur before jumping to another
platform. Jump to the higher platform after you land (a
flying dinosaur with a bone attacks). Jump to the stair-like
platforms right of you, which also have a flying dinosaur
on them.

Go to the lower platform right of the stairs. Walk across
and get the grapes. Jump to the platform right of it, and
to the higher of the two platforms right of that one.

Jump to the platform right of this one, and then to the upper
platform. Right of that is a platform with a rock on it;
destroy the rock for three bones. Jump to either of the
two platforms right of this one (scorpions are waiting for
you there, so look out), then go right until you meet the
boss.

The boss is saber tooth tiger. It jumps around. Hold the
B button down, and it dies after about five hits. If you
stay about one forth of the width of the screen from the
left hand side of the screen, you should be okay, and it
will be dead before it reaches you.

Part Three
----------

Another cave level. Go right, and jump across the lava.
Do a second jump across the lava, and fall down the pit.

Go right. A bat flies at you, so don’t get hit. Continue
right. Past the platform that goes up and down (don’t use
it) are purple stalagcites that fall on you when you walk
underneath. Use the strategy of walking under the stalagcite,
but dodging left quickly so you’re not hit. There are three
of them. Past that, go up the platform (a bat protects it).

Go right (a frog and a bat attack). Keep going right through
this area. After you start going down, two bats attack, one
from each side. Jump to the platform in midair, and then
up through the second gap in the ceiling.

Kill the frog, and get all the bones/grapes in this area
here. Then go down the gap in the ceiling and go right (a
bat attacks you from behind).

Jump to the next platform (a bat attacks). Here you have to
jump from platform to platform over the lava (seems awfully
familiar...).

When you reach a platform with a rock on it. Destroy the
rock to beat the level without fighting Lavati, the boss,
again.

Part Four
---------

Kill the scorpion right of you (it has a bone). Go right,
and two platforms right is a platform with a scorpion on it.
On the long platform right of that is a flying dinosaur. Past
that, get the two bones and fall down.

Well, this is pretty weird. Bignose falls down, you can move
left/right to get the bones and grapes. Or not.

When you land, the platform right of you has a scorpion on
it. Follow along the lower platforms. A scorpion is on the
lowest one. Jump to the platform right of it, and get the
bone. Fall down the bottom of the screen.

Another falling thing. This is rather strange.

Jump to the platform right of this one. A flying dinosaur
attacks you from behind. Keep going right across the platforms
(a flying dinosaur attacks up at the top of the screen),
and then fall down at the end.

Yet another falling thing.

When you land, jump across the platforms. Two platforms
right of the one you land on, two flying dinosaurs attack,
one up high and one down low. Then continue on, and fall
down at the end.

Yes, another falling thing.

When you land, jump to the platform right of the one you
land on. It has grapes there. Walk right to fight the
boss. It’s saber tooth tiger again, should be no problem.

Part Five
---------

You get to visit the three shops again.

A side scrolling level. If you’re lazy, hold B the whole
time (or if you’re really lazy, place something on the B
button so you don’t have to), and Bignose will kill all
the enemies without taking damage (or getting bones).

You reach the boss, fishman. Stand in the middle of the
second platform and attack fishman by holding down the
B button. It dies easily.

Part Six
--------

Another side-scrolling helicopter level. Do it like you
did the other ones. If you’re lazy, stay in the upper left
hand corner and hold down A and B until you reach the boss.
It’s better to do the normal strategy though.

At the end is the boss, Serpentia. It’s a sea serpent that
sticks its head out of the sea and moves the head back and
forth.

I think the best idea here is to be at the top left hand
corner of the screen. Wait until Serpentia pops up, and
if it doesn’t pop up on the left hand part of the screen,
go down and hit it. Then go back up, and repeat until it’s
dead. That’s the end of this level!

004d-Chaos Island
-----------------------------------------------------------

Another cutscene. Bignose sleeps, then he walks in a cave.
A giant monster eye appears, and Bignose runs away. He
sleeps again, and is on another island.

Part One
--------

You get to visit the three shops before starting this level.

Great, another level repeat. The bad part is that it’s a
repeat of a repeat.

Attack the enemy that comes for you. When you hit it
with the grape attack, a bone is left behind. Get the bone
before it falls, and start going right.

Get the grapes, and jump the gap. You meet an enemy. Go
right, and get the three bones along the way. Right of
the third bone is an enemy, so don’t accidentally land on it
after you get the bone.

Right past that is a rock. Hit it and the screen shakes.
Right past the rock is two enemies, one has a bone.
Kill them. Get the bone right of that before jumping the
gap.

Past the gap, two enemies attack. Kill them and go on.
Note the grapes in the tree; get them before jumping the
gap.

Jump the next gap, getting the bone in midair. Jump the next
gap, and go across the platform with a rock on it. Jump
the gap at the end, and start going right. An enemy
comes at you very quickly, so be prepared. It has a bone
inside it as well.

Past the second enemy is another gap. Cross it and
walk on. Just after the rock is an enemy; look out for
it. Cross the gap and get the two bones in the air. Cross
the next gap (an enemy is waiting for you at the end of
your jump), then simply continue on through this area to
the boss.

The boss is a triceratops again.

Part Two
--------

You get to visit the three shops again.

Okay, is level is another one of those repeat levels, but
changed a bit. Kill the rat, and go to the end of the
platform (an orange stalagcite attacks you). Jump right
twice across the lava.

Jump over the gap, and go right (don’t break the rock). Past
the rock is a frog, so kill it. Go up past the frog. In
this area, avoid the bat and get the bones, then go down.

Walk right (as soon as you reach the end of this platform,
a bat attacks you from behind). Jump off, and don’t break
the rocks. The ceiling drips, so walk past when the water
isn’t dripping down. Fall in the pit; it raises a door.

Destroy the rock that was past the door. All right, you’re
invincible! Simply breeze through the rest of this level
and its boss, Lavati again.

Part Three
----------

Well, this level isn’t hard to understand. You jump
from tree to tree until you reach the end while pterodactyls
attack you all throughout the level.

I’d write how to beat this part, but it’d just look like
this:

Jump to the branch right of you. Jump to the next branch.
Now jump to the next one. Then jump to the one next to
you, and the one next to that. Repeat ad infinitum.

The boss is the Flinestones monster. It can shoot fireballs
at you. At no time should you be at the left hand side of
the screen, as it can fire about 5 rapid fireballs at you
when you are there, and it is near impossible to dodge them
all.

A good idea is to stay within the black area of the background,
going out of it only to dodge fireballs. All the while,
hit the dinosaur with grapes. After about ten hits, he
dies.

Part Four
---------

You get to visit the three shops before starting this level.

Another repeat level. Shesh. Oh well. Jump over the rock
and kill the enemy.

Last time you could fall into a hidden area, but it doesn’t
work this time. So go right until you catch up with what
I said earlier (which follows):

Go right and jump over the water (water kills Bignose).
A hummingbird attacks you as you go right, so look out.
When you reach the next bit of water, you’ll notice there
are turtles that move up and down. Jump on the turtles
when they are up at the surface to get across.

Past the turtles, jump up to the tree and get on the highest
branch. Jump right off it onto another tree branch. Keep
going right (if you hit the rock, a rather pointless
earthquake takes place). Past the rock is a turtle.

Get the bone over the stump. Past that is one of those
groups of trees. You know what to do; jump from tree to
tree, getting bones and avoiding enemies along the way.

Past the trees is some water with the up/down turtles on
it. There are only two turtles, so you have to jump from the
second turtle to the end. Past that is the same thing,
except with three turtles.

Past that, jump up to the platform in midair and go across
it. Get the bones (two turtles are on the platform too).
At the end of the platform is the boss, Rocky.

Boy, he does look like a rock, doesn’t he? Here’s how to
beat him: Get to the left of the rock on the ground (the
one left of Rocky), and press B rapidly until he dies. That’s
it.

Part Five
---------

Poop. More repeat levels. I’m mad.

Jump to the platform in midair (kill the scorpion on it) and
to the next platform in midair.

Go to the platform in midair right of this one. Once again,
jump up through the top to another bone cloud place, drop
down when you’re done.

Go right here. Before jumping right, kill the scorpion
on the platform in midair so you don’t land on it. Jump
to that small platform in midair.

Walk right off it, but don’t jump. Land on that strangely
colored platform in midair. It lifts you up high, jump
right off that onto some platforms you would have otherwise
been unable to reach.

Go right (there are two scorpions waiting for you). Jump
to the platform right of it, and to the platform right
of that. Kill the flying dinosaur that comes at you, then
jump right to another platform.

Jump to the platform right of this, and to the one right
of that. Kill the flying dinosaur before jumping to another
platform. Jump to the higher platform after you land (a
flying dinosaur with a bone attacks). Jump to the stair-like
platforms right of you, which also have a flying dinosaur
on them.

Go to the lower platform right of the stairs. Walk across
and get the grapes. Jump to the platform right of it, and
to the higher of the two platforms right of that one.

Jump to the platform right of this one, and then to the upper
platform. Right of that is a platform with a rock on it;
DON’T destroy it this time. Jump to either of the two
platforms right of this one (scorpions are waiting for
you there, so look out), then go right until you meet the
boss.

The boss is saber tooth tiger. It jumps around. Hold the
B button down, and it dies after about five hits. If you
stay about one forth of the width of the screen from the
left hand side of the screen, you should be okay, and it
will be dead before it reaches you.

Part Six
--------

DANGNABIT, IT’S ANOTHER REPEAT LEVEL!!! I’M MAD!!!

Here’s my repeated strategy:

Walk straight right to fall down into another hidden area.
Go right to the end, killing enemies along the way (some
have bones). At the end, go up to the main area.

Go right here, and kill the baby dinosaur. A platform moves
left and right over the gap, jump on it, and get to the
other side of the gap. The tricky part is that you can’t
ride the platform; if you stand still, you fall off and die.
Not really difficult, but more unexpected.

Once you cross the gap, continue right. After dropping down,
a triceratops with a bone attacks, so be ready.

Go right up the stair thing, and fall off. Get the two
bones left of the cliff, then head right. New enemies, spiders,
are here, but they’re easy to kill.

Past the spider, jump on the cliff, and jump up the tree
branches. You make it to a cloud place. Jump to the cliff,
and off it onto the cloud in midair. Jump off the cloud to
the two bones, and then fall down the gap in the clouds on
your left.

You’ll land on ground (if you land on the tree, you can jump
up to a hidden shop and a cloud level). Go right, and jump
on the tree stump. A gap right of you shortens so you can
jump it normally; do so.

After the gap, get the grapes. Now you have a bunch of trees;
jump from tree to tree, getting bones and killing spiders
on the way. Past it is the boss, Scorpio.

Oh no, it’s a prehistoric X-man!

Actually, that’s the wrong Scorpio. This Scorpio is a
nasty scorpion thing that shoots fire from its stinger.

Okay, this guy isn’t hard to beat when you know what to do.
Stand directly left of the rock on the ground. Jump the
fire Scorpio shoots at you; don’t move left or right. Get
used to jumping the fire like that. Now all you have to do
is press B while jumping to throw grapes at it. Eventually,
Scorpio dies.

Part Seven
----------

Well, at least this isn’t a repeat level. However, it’s
another one of those helicopter levels. Here’s my advice
again: Try to be in the middle of the screen at all times so new
enemies won’t come out and surprise you.

At the end is the last boss, pterodactyl. Yes, the thing
Bignose has been chasing for the entire game.

It flies around the screen. Hold the B and A buttons the
whole time, and press right and left to maneuver. After
many, many hits, you win.

The ending is this: at the caveman Red Cross, both Bignose
and the pterodactyl come out in wheelchairs, the wheel being
a brand new invention. We learn that Bignose ate the
pterodactyl for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Oh boy.

You can check out more big nosed adventures in Bignose
Freaks Out, the sequel to this game. And yes, he’s freaking
out because there were so many repeat levels in this game.
