What's this? I find it hard to believe that I'm writing about another Ninja
game. But what can I do? This game was so great of an opportunity to write for
that I couldn't possibly pass it up.
What's so special about it? Squashed, or Ninja Jajamaru: Ginga Daisakusen, was
never released in North America, it exists here as a prototype. But what's so
compelling about the game is that it seems to be a mishmash of elements from
other games, especially Mario games. This is a far cry from Ninja Taro, a
related game, but I still enjoy it.
The story is fairly odd and revolves around vegetables. Many characters make
veggie puns, trying to add soem humour to the game. I wasn't exactly taken by
the humour in this agme as I was in say, the Mystical Ninja series, but it's
lame enough for my approval.
Lives/Score: Your lives and score are displayed numerically. After you get
beyond 9 lives it will be displayed as "X" and this will not change as you
earn more 1ups.
Item Info: The item you currently have is represented here. Dots beside the
dispalyed item show duration for some items and uses remaining for others.
Time: When the time runs out, you will perish.
Letters: Getting three of a letter will cause effects in the boss battles. A
Monster will be tossing things up from the bottom right corner. The effects are
subtle so I haven't identified them. I you know anything, drop me a line.
*Two Player and Two Characters:
You can choose between Maru or Cori as your player. Or you can take a random
choice. Two player is two player alternating, though you _decide_ who takes the
next turn after you die.
*******************
S2.2: Techniques and Tips
*******************
Bouncing: You can use enemies for a short bounce after you hit them, allowing
you to catch some extra air (but not much).
Charging: Hold B to charge. This makes you run in place. If you charge long
enough, you go into a roll. The roll ignores most enemy defenses. If you let
go of the charge while your character is still running in place and hold
forward, you will run. Jumping now will cause you to leap high into the air.
Charging is an essential skill.
Climbing: Some walls let you climb. Hold the control pad towards the wall and
press jump. To jump off, start the climbing motion, and while the character is
still moving up, press away from the wall and jump at teh same time.
Downhill Rolling: PRess down on a hill to go into a roll.
Bosses: You must use your standard weapon against bosses, and if they hit you
you are dead regardless of the spacesuit.
JetPack: The jetpack gives you a spacesuit by default.
Entering Portals: Portals can be tricky. You have to hold up while jumping into
them to activate them.

World 1: Moon Base
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.1
*********
Stage 1
*********
Time: 400
Walk to the right and defeat the brown volcanoes. There will soon be a block in
the ground - this contains a spacesuit so get it. After some more volcanoes you
will see three blocks. Two of these blocks give 1000 points, the other a
jetpack. Use the jetpack to fly up and to thr right, and ultimately find three
blocks in the sky. One of these blocks contains a one-up. You'd be best landing
on top of the blocks to ensure you get everything.
Jumping down, mind the pit to the left. To the right are some bouncing UFO's,
then a block with a letter orb in it. Soon after are some craters with Moon
divers. These moon cresents will pop in and out of craters and toss moon
shaped projectiles at you. Hit them after they've popped up, and do not stand
on the crater thinking you can get them as they come up.
After the moons, you will come to two big pits. The first can be jumped in a
normal fashion, but the second will require you to charge a run first. You
could also bounce off the red volcano, but that's a lot trickier.
At the next group of three blocks, there is a moon boomerang. If you want this
weapon, charge your run to jump on top of these blocks. To the right after the
first pit is a Moon Diver in the big crater. After the next jump, be aware that
a red Volcano will be walking soon. I mention him because he could take you by
surprise.
After this, the stage is fairly straight-forward, when you get to the exit you
will need to charge your jump to reach it.
*********
Stage 2
*********
Time: 400
You will start out next to some blocks, one containing a star bomb which you
may take if you wish - items aren't terribly important at this point in the
game so you may even consider taking it as an opportunity to test it out.
In fact, the level seems to be designed to offer weapons to you openly, because
soon you will get a wheel, the item that functions like a Metroid screw attack,
on a hill. Test this out on the Face Tanks up ahead. A relatively benign enemy,
you'll eventually come to realize that Face Tanks are truly all-terrain with
their ease of approach when it comes to walls and inclines.
After the tanks there's these orange pipes with eyes. Red clouds can be found
around the opening. You can destroy these as per usual, while they duck in and
out of pipes they are easy to avoid if you just pay attention.
After the initial pipes, you will find two blocks. One will have a letter orb,
grab this the pay mind to the red cloud on the pipe to the right. It's placed
in a way that could get you if you descent to far from it. Instead, try a
charged jump to either clear or destroy it.
After this pipe you'll find two pits that are possible to jump normally, but
play it safe and charge if you're intimidated.There will be horizontal and
vertical pipes afterwardsm, with their clouds. Definitely take out the cloud in
the right horizontal pipe. You should be at a cliff, and a platform will be
moving back and forth. This is why I wanted you to defeat the red cloud, to
focus on jumping to the platform.
Those blocks down there will contain a Jet Pack. These allow you to cross the
upcoming gaps with ease but you can just jump if you prefer. After some pits
and pipes, you'll come to a vertical pipe with a steep drop-off and some blocks
to the right in the air. Well these blocks will give you a moon boomerang if
you'd like it.
Up next is a staircase of four pipes, each with a red cloud. I'd warn you if
you try to climb this staircase by bouncing on the clouds, it wouldn't be odd
to connect with the side of the fourth. After these clouds is a floor of pipes.
No clouds, but the exit. Charge jump to it.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
head to the right and mind the face tanks. There'll be an item in the floor,
treat it as a block. Okay, this "lightbulb" turns you into a giant, robotic
frog that's not unlike those found in Mega Man 2. You must jump to move as the
frog and any item you had will be lost, so weigh your options when thinking of
using the frog, as it may not be that appealing when the practical need to beat
the level is concerned.
The next item is an item orb. Take it and continue. When you reach the
lightning section, look for the floating platforms. Your character has a bit
of slide wehn he/she lands so keep that in mind as you jump to them. Just take
your time here, there's no enemies, just jumping. If you fall into the energy
you'll regret it, naturally. The blocks in this section contain points.
After the lightning section, you'll be on a ledge above an incline. There's a
face tank here, don't underestimate it and make sure you time your descent so
that it isn;t coming up the incline after you. You don't have to be fancy and
leap from the ledge to the tank. After this, three blocks in the floor give
points. Then comes a large incline for you to travel down.
But that's not all, probably with a charge jump you can leap to the visible
ledge above where the incline starts. There's a point block here. After the
slope, you'll come to a short chamber with Green Cannons. Just take your time
and you shouldn't get hit. To end the stage, leap onto floor between the two
structures that look like springs or switches.
*********
Boss
*********
Time: 400
A big Face Tank! See the battlestage, those structures in the corners? They're
pipes. This thing basically rolls around the stage, the walls and ceiling
inclusive. It only takes a few hits, but the tricky thing is that it will at
times move back and forth. Of course this means that casual jumps on your part
may wind up having you connect from the side. And as with every boss in this
game, that's going to kill you regardless of spacesuit.
Tiem yoru jumps so that you compromise the back-and-forth shuffle, at the mid
point. And hold the direction pad the the direction opposite the way the thing
was travelling so you get clear of it. It is possible to hit multiple times in
a row.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World 2: Space Fortress
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.2
*********
Stage 1
*********
Time: 400
You start out on a shuttle-like area, head to the right and defeat the Green
UFOs. They aren't much harder than the pinks, still easy to predict. Keep
beating them as you head to the right.
You'll come to an incline with some blocks in the air. If you are having
problems reaching the tops of these, use a charge jump. The first contains
points. The next is a spacesuit. If you've lost the Spacesuit from 1-1, then
I suggest you take this.
Going to the right will take you to a platform that looks like a large bolt
with the occasional nut. There's some very simple, drone-like enemies here.
They're like the brown Volcano crater enemies, they just walk forward. Keep to
the right, you'll come to a break in the bolt, where energy connects it like
the pits in 1-3. You are going to need to charge jump over this.
Soon you'll come to a white rectangle with port-holes. I think it's about time
that I mention the special property of the bolt. If you are on top, press down
to appear on the bottom, with gravity reversed. Pressing up while on the bottom
will return you to the top. Alright, you can collect items all over this white
rectangle now. Bottom Left: Moon, Bottom Right: Clock, Top Right: Points, Top
Left: Points.
Head to the right, charge jump over the lightning gap and continue to the
slope. There's three blocks above the slope: Points, Wheel, and Letter Orb. Get
what you want. The Wheel's in the middle and the orb to the right. If you get
the wheel, jump down and to the right, you'll be prtoected from the green UFOs
this way. Otherwise, jump back to the slope and take the less risky approach.
The exit is right ahead, you don't need to charge jump to reach this one.
*********
Stage 2
*********
Heading to the right, you'll immediately be entering a tunnel with green
cannons. There's an item right before them, a spacesuit. There's only three so
just get on by and you'll come to a blue pipe, jump on it and press down.
The pipe has dropped you down one floor, head to the right. The item in the
floor is a frog transformation. To the right's a new enemy, a detonator. These
enemies just stay still, but if you bounce on them they will explode shortly
afterwards, as you depress their plunger. Okay, the frog doesn't receive any
harm from the explosion, but you do if you jump frogless. Jump up into the pipe
and use it to get to the next floor.
Immediately to the right is a tunnel with two green cannons, and a letter orb
in the floor. The next pipe down is just afterwards. When you go down, head to
the right. There's a detonator close to the pipe, don't bother with it if you
don't want to.
To the right will be a pit with little green, flea-like dudes jumping up and
down. While in theory you could bounce across the gap on some of these, use a
charged jump, be sure to jump close to the edge. After the jump, there'll be
two green cannons and a point block. The cannons are positioned so as to fire
directly at each other, one to the left and up and one to the right and down.
Wait until both have fired before passing. Soon after is a pipe up.
To the left is a point block and detonator. To the right are three cannons
positioned in a triangle. You can stand (probably crouch) between them until
it is safe to pass. You'll come to the exit and two blocks. The blocks are a
star and some points.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
You start, and an item is activated. It is a letter orb, snag it. There's five
other blocks here: both on the left are points, all three on the right are
points. You'll notice a spring walking back and forth. Right, jump on it and
hold the jump button in to spring up and start this vertical stage.
Land on the platform, and jump to the right wall. Hold the control pad toward
the wall and tap jump to climb it. If you want to jump off the wall, start a
climb. When you're in mid climb, press away from the wall on the control pad
and press A. You should make a jump. Climb the wall until you see a platform.
Jump to this platform. You can cling to the sides of platforms, by the way.
If there is a Face Tank on the left wall, either use your star bomb to take it
out or jump onto it. Climb the left wall from here, jump to the platform. Take
the Face Tank on the right wall out, climb the wall and jump left to the next
platform. Jump to the left wall and get to the platform before the green
cannon. Jump to the right wall, climb until you come to glass. There will be a
platform moving up and down - you must leap to this plaform.
Once on the moving platform, you should see that the glass on the left wall
forms a ledge. Jump on top of this ledge, then jump onto and climb the left
wall. Climb until you meet the glass, wait for the cannon to fire, then jump to
the moving platform. Jump over to the right wall, above the glass, and continue
up. Jump to the long platform, use the left wall to get up to the floating
platform, then enter the black space.
*********
Boss
*********
Time: 400
A giant UFO. It will float around the screen, making figure eights at times.
Sometimes, it will drop and launch two shots horizontally towards you. Jump at
it and bounce off it to safety. You can hit it during a figure eight but make
sure it is at the bottom of the curve - I don't really recommend it because
contact with the UFO will spell your doom. Alright, so after four hits it is
destroyed. The boss' pattern is simple, but please don't be careless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World 3: Hot Pepper Planet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.3
*********
Stage 1
*********
Time: 400
The king in World 2 warned you that you'd get hot feet if you stood still. This
is thrue, if you stand on the red ground with flames flickering on it for an
extended time, your character's face will get red before he/she jumps into the
air. You aren't damaged, but of coruse uncotnrolled jumping can cause a problem
or two. Fortunately for you, you have to stand still for a while for the effect
to take place.
Heading to the right from the start, there is a moon boomerang in a block in
the ground. Head up on top of the hill above the item, and jump on the moving
platform. Don't fall on those flames, they're certain death. Jump to the next
platform then to land. Be careful - a red flame will be on its way. These can
not be jumped on.
To the right after some flames will be a block in the ground. This is a jet
pack, and to its right is an item. If you fly into the sky, you'll find a red
whispy enemy that you can hit for 400 points. To the right, you'll find some
hills with red flames. Jump on the moving platform.
Jump to the enxt platform, then jump down to get a jet pack from the block. You
can fly up to four platforms ahead with this, but maybe only risk three. The
last platform will take you to a red ledge. Don't jump on this, instead you
should duck. It will take you to this little area with a block that has three
extra lives.
Jump on the platform as it is coming back, duck immediately as you don't want
to be pushed off into the flames. After emerging from beneath the ledge, jump
to the ledge and begin heading right once more. There will be a tall, vertical
chunk of land and some blocks at level with its top to the left of it. Charge
jump to cliff, if you're having trouble with the hot ground, go to the corner
of a "Step" and you should be immune. The two blocks are points and a wheel.
Heading to the right of the tall chunk, you'll encounter a tornado enemy. It
can knock you around a bit, so just roll through it. Keep going and you'll
come to the edge of the cliff. Jump out onto the platform, it will fall when
you land. Jump to the next, then to land, then jump into that vertical stream
of water to beat the stage.
*********
Stage 2
*********
Time: 400
This stage is more or less vertical. Begin your climb, but watch out for the
pink UFO. It could hit you from above, and the green cannon will complicate
things. The block onscreen from the moment you start is a wheel. Continue
climbing.
After two green cannons you'll find another block: a spacesuit. Continue the
climb. again, watch out for pink UFOs. You will eventually come to a vertical
rail with a platform. Jump to the platform and it will begin to carry you up.
As you go up on the platform, you'll pass a block in midair. This is a 1up.
Jump back to the platform and you'll be carried up again. When you are almost
on level with the next set of blocks (blank) charge your jump. Jump from your
platform to the next one floating up and down to the left and up. From here
jump right.
That block to the left and up has a letter orb. Jump onto the platform and
begin charging your jump. Jump slightly after the blocks up onto the next
platform. Jump to the right onto the next ledge.
Leap onto this next platform. It will carry you up, no need to charge your jump
but you will need to jump to that diagonally moving platform you see. From that
platform jump next to the left wall and climb it. Jump to the right floor from
this wall and then use the exit.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
You start next to an item and a green cannon. The floor at the moment is not
hot. The item is a letter orb, proceed to the right. There will be two cannons
and a block - a jet pack. Use this to fly over a few ledges and gaps with some
cannons and a tornado. When you land, head to the right.
Pretty simple as you go right, be patient with the cannons. When you come to
a block next, it will be a wheel. After it you may see a red Volcano. This is
the same as Volcano I.
Keep going, there will be some Volcano II's and some green cannons along the
way, and you'll get a space suit and then a clock. From the clock, if you go
down you will be in a tunnel with green cannons and thing protrusions of ground
that are kind of difficult to jump to due to the low ceiling. If you get to the
end, you will be able to get a star bomb and letter orb.
From the clock, if you go up you will get two point blocks and then see an area
with arrows pointing straight up. Go to this area to proceed to the next level.
*********
Boss
*********
Time 400
A large robot with two legs. It will immediately start jumping. It jumps back
and forth, a few hops to one end of the stage, then a few back the other way.
Pass under it when it jumps.
Right, so you see those two structures on either side of the screen? One will
be depressed, the other up. Jump on the one that has a big dome up and the robo
will turn pink. Get to the other and depress it to have the robot turn blue.
Depressing another switch will have it get damaged. However, after it turns
aroudn now, it will leap to the un-depressed switch and restore its red lustre.
Okay, if you can manage to damage it two times in a row, it will be destroyed.
Otherwsie, the fight will drag on for a long time.
The robot, I shoudl mention, can shoot eye lasers. These do not kill you, but
stun you. If you want to leap over the robot, don't try bouncing as it will
probably send you in the direction opposite of where you wanted to go.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World 4: Star Spngled Squash
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.4
*********
Stage 1
*********
Time: 400
You land on a large meteor, and the screen starts to scroll. This part is more
dependent on your skills, start jumping tot he little meteor platforms. Ride
the red meteor that is travelling quickly and try to stay as close to the right
side fo the screen as possible. For instance, you'll notice a red meteor out to
the right soon after starting, but you won't be able to reach it unless you try
to stay more or less on the right side of the screen.
This pattern of jumping to the far red meteors will continue for almost 100
units of time, at which point there will be another large meteor. The exit is
up here.
*********
Stage 2
*********
Time: 400
As soon as you land, a letter orb pops up. Heading to the right, you'll find a
strange looking enemy, that resembles a decapped alien of the classical long
white face variety. Just hop on it.
Farther to the right you'll notice this green alien hopping back and forth.
They are a large target and don't hop very high - ideal targets. Shortly after
the bouncing green alien, you'll notice a skull jumping out of the ground. The
red skulls can burrow into the ground when they land. They are not gone, they
will pop out eventually, so know where they land. In the room with the red
skulls is a group of blocks. One contains points, the other has a clock.
You'll come to a area which leads to the next floor while looping backwards yet
also leading forwards. To the left will be three blocks: A Moon on the right, a
spacesuit on the left, and points in the middle. Back to the right, the two
blocks just above the hole you've just climbed out of provide points and a Moon
Boomerang just like the block to the left.
Heading to the right you'll drop down to be in a room with a green alien. Use a
boomerang if you think the ceiling will be a problem in jumping on the enemy.
When you come again to a pit, you can either go down or to the right. That item
is a star bomb by the way.
Regardless of your path, heading right will eventually take you to the exit. It
is just that there are red skulls on the top route and a spikes which drop on
you down below.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
The black hole the previous king warned you about. Take that portal just in
front of you. Watch put for the sparks and take the bottom portal. If you go
back into a portal, you will be taken backwards. Backwards may mean multiple
rooms.
Take the bottom left portal, you'll drop from the portal in the top right. The
block has a letter orb. Take the bottom right portal. Take the next portal to
your right. Look out for the sparks, then take the right portal. You'll be in
a room with three portals. The portal down below takes you backwards, so take
the top right.
Head to the portal to you right, take it. You are spewed into a room with
three portals on the right wall. The bottom takes you backwards. The top takes
you to an area with two blocks, a star bomb and a space suit. The portal in
this room takes you back to the room you were just in. Take the middle portal
to progress through the stage.
From here, take the right portal. There will be a portal below you and to the
right and up. The bottom portal leads backwards, charge jump to reach the top
right. Head into the right portal from here. Head to the bottom right portal.
I hope you have the star bomb to destroy the spark, then enter the top right
portal.
Alright, you're in a room with four portals. The one you were just in, one in
and one in each of the other corners. Bottom left takes you to the bottom right
which is the corner you start in. Top right takes you through a few portals
which lead to a room shaped like a happy face, the "crown" being made of item
blocks, all points. Use the right "eye" to escape. Back in the four-portal
room, enter the top left. Follow these portals until you are finally in a new
room. Follow the portals until you're in the centre. You will need to charge
jump to that portal, which is coincidentally the exit.
*********
Boss
*********
Time: 400
Weird, there's portals appearing and disappearing all around in the air. You
will notice that when this portal stops, a large green alien will drop from
sky, where the portal stopped. Jump on its head. It can shoot a shot that like
the previous boss, will stun you. It does not take many hits, just watch the
portal as it slows down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World 5: Strange, Uneven Planet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.5
*********
Stage 1
*********
You start out on some hills that look wooden. You may want to move out of your
immediate position as a green construction robot is throwing blocks at you. You
can just run on the hill above the path of his projectiles and attack him. The
second construction bot is a little harder, but you can just wait for his stack
of blocks to diminish a bit. If you want to reach those blocks, charge jump.
Theyc ontain: points, spacesuit, moon boomerang.
Heading to the right from here, jump across those platforms. These fall as you
leap on them. Towards the end is a block with a 1up. There's one platform after
it, then a detonator on the ground. Either wait until this detonator has walked
close to the edge before attacking it, or try a charge jump from the 1up block.
Get over the tall ledge and continue to the right.
There will be a construction bot near a pipe. Alright, you can either toss a
moon at it or wait for it to let the stack down a bit. The same situation will
present itself just a few steps further. Jumping down, you'll come across two
detonators. Your movement won't be restricted liek the earlier detonator so
dealw ith them as you see fit. The next block you see will be points.
At this point block, you will see a bot up on a high ledge. Either wait him out
or possibly try a charge jump. That is, of course, if you don't have a weapon
at your disposal. After this guy there will be a pipe staircase with four
detonators. either climb the staircase by jumping on them, but if the bottom
step moves you'd be best to play it safe and take them out one by one.
You come now to a pit. There are some pink fleas here, not much different than
the green fleas. Cross the two pits, charge if you need to, and you'll arrive
at a staircase dominated by two stacked robots. These guys release their heads
and bring them back down. Either charge jump from the previous ledge or take
them out with a boomerang.
At the top of the stairs, you'll find a construction bot to the left, and a
pit to the right. Taking the right, leap onto that moving platform. When it
reaches it's lowest point jump to the right. Head right to the giant pipe, get
on top of it to progress.
*********
Stage 2
*********
Time: 400
-If you still have the boomerang, you can use it to destroy the blades in this
level-
Interesting new obstacle: swinging blades. They will swing and then stay in
place for a while. You need to tempt them to swing before moving past. These
first two are practice I suppose. The next is before a pit. Try and provoke
it into swinging then jump across the pit, using the blue fleas as bounce pads
if you must. There's a stack robot here, but you should get it on your way down
as you will go through its head when your hammer/club is out.
Heading to right, again tempt these two blades and move on past them. The block
here has a space suit. Keep to the right, a staircase with blades. Tempt them,
and jump on them when they come to rest to destroy them. Drop down and make the
next jump. Alright, get the blade to swing before you do this next jump, and
use a charge jump if you have to. There's a stack bot after the jump, then a
ledge with a blade. Let it come to a stop then bop it. You should make the next
few jumps without incident.
This takes us to a drop, the drop takes us to a hallway with some orange drones
marching towards you. Along the hallway are some alcoves. Use the higher
ceiling here to bop the drones. After the hallway is a little trickier part.
A boomerang would seriously help here, but if you lack it start jumping these
ledges. You can't tempt the blades found on these ledges. You will need to jump
onto the ledge then jump again so that the blade's swing passes under you, and
you land on the blade to defeat it. After two of these, you have a choice.
Either charge jump to the left and get the jet pack. The jet pack doesn't serve
a purpose here but it counts as a suit. To the right, there is a letter orb, a
point block, then a stack bot. Afterwards is the exit portal, and you will need
to jump to it.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
An item is activated as soon as you start - a wheel. This stage is interesting
as it's goign to start by having you travel down. As you fall you will find a
stack bot and plenty of orange spikes. Keep jumping down, the first block you
come to is a spacesuit.
Up next is a star bomb and point block. Keep to the left as you fall if you
want the star. The next stack bot after the star bomb offers a fork. If you go
left after the bot, you will get a space suit. If you go right, a letter orb.
Take the left. You can reach the letter orb with a charge jump anyways.
Keep going down. The next item is kind of redundant - another spacesuit. When
you reach the bottom, you are teleported to the next level automatically.

This thing is very easy. It will coem out of either of those two pipes and
swing a hammer. This will cause some parts of the floor to fly up. They won't
harm you if you stand still. Let one be defeated by your standing then jump on
the boss' head. You can bounce multiple times for a very easy win.

World 6: Frozen Vegetable Section
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.6
*********
Stage 1
*********
Yep, a frozen vegetable section, so by all rights the floor should be slipper,
right? Right. You will slide on this floor. You start in what appears to be a
wrecked pirate ship. EHad right minding the slippery floor and the ghosts.
Leave the ship and jump out into space and onto a structure with a point block.
From here, jump onto the moving platform, then onto the next, then onto land.
From this land, charge jump onto the next section of land. Jump down to the
next, up to the next, and then to the next. Jump over to the next piece of land
and get the wheel if you want. Jump onto the ledge then to the next bit of land
and climb the far ledge here. Jump to these platforms. Run down the falling
platforms, jumping toward the end. You will come face to face with a blue robot
warrior. Hit it to shrink it, then again to defeat. If you want the letter orb
in that block, you will need to charge jump up there.
Keep to the right after this. A few more warriors and then eventually the exit.
Make your jump count because this exit is suspended in the air above a pit.
*********
Stage 2
*********
-Ground is not slippery and you can walk on to of those protrusions with the
missiles-
A scrolling aircraft, not unlike Super Mario Bros. 3's Doom Ships. You'll be
attacked by three warriors soon, and they may prevent you from getting the jet
pack. If you get the jet pack, you can fly in the air to defeat two orange
robots. Otherwise, jump over the energy pit and head right. Jump up past the
snake cannons and get the space suit if you wish. Keep going.
You will get to a point with energy fields in the gaps. You can jump these
normally. Afterwards, another round of warriors. You will also soon see a
blcok in a depression. If you risk it, you will get a star bomb. It would be
easier to defeat warriors with this.
The next block holds a jetpack. Use it to fly up to three blocks - one with a
1up and the two others with points. Back on the ship, head right past the
snake cannons. The next block contains points.
Shortly after this block, you will drop off a ledge. Be ready to jump on a
platform mocing horizontally. You may want to charge jump off this when it's
nearing land. The exit is here.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Contrary to the usual, head to the left. There's a warrior and two point
blocks. Jump onto the conveyer belt. there's a green cannon here, but even on
the moving floor it's easy to avoid. But now we come to a staple of games with
conveyers: pits of death. The belt won't actually dump you onto the spikes, but
they're too long to jump normally. Go a bit back on the belt and charge jump
over the spike pit.
Okay, so now you're contending with a blue warrior and a green cannon. Watch
the cannon and get the blue warrior when it coems near. Take the bottom route
from here if you want to get a block with a letter orb. IT's possible to leap
teh spike pit from here with a charge jump, though if you want to play it safe
you can backtrack and take the top path. When you land, take out the warrior
and get the point blocks. Enter the door.
An elevator takes you to a new floor. There's a white warrior here, treat them
as a blue warrior. Get up on teh belt and head right, watch out for the green
cannon as per usual. Jump off the belt and go under it to get some points and
a spacesuit. Please note that the green cannon can shoot through the floor at
you.
Over teh next conveyer and fight the white warrior. Keep heading right. Duck
for the duration of the long conveyer then jump to one of the thin protrusions.
Let the warrior jump into a pit. There's three blocks... this part is rather
hard compared to the previous parts in teh game. Move to the back of the ledge
and charge jump. Jump as you reach the edge of the ledge. You should get a
point block as you fly over the three. Now, the right is another point block
and the middle is a letter orb. The door takes you to the enxt stage.
*********
Boss
*********
Surprise! There's no boss. However, "Vegetron's Helper" will repent his sins
and the next king will tell you how important it is too defeat Vegetron. This
dialogue is "ripe" with puns...
It's a shame you don't get to fight the awesome pirate that is Vegetron's
Helper. What a shame, he had nice duds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
World 7: Battle With Vegetron
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.7
*********
Stage 1
*********
Time: 400
You start in the clouds. Bop both of the orange field generators to make the
gren forcefield disappear. When it does, jump on down.
Some ice will form an airplane, jump on it then head downwards. There's some
more ice planes, just keep heading down until you reach the next forcefield.
There's a point block, get this then break the field. Head down.
Below this point are orange drill missiles. They are a very light threat. You
will come to another force field and apoint block. Head down, holding right.
Jumpa cross the gap (possibly charge) and you'll be beside three blocks: two
are points but one provides three 1ups.
Continue to fall, you will come to two blocks, a 1up and some points. Below
this point you'll see the exit. Walk to the exit and proceed to the next stage.
*********
Stage 2
*********
You'll fall down and immediately you'll be next to an incline. However, upwards
you will come across a Four Shot Robot. This enemy will launch four shots into
the sky. If you're worried, wait until the shots have passed to attack. Keep in
mind that they will come down.
At the top of the incline, you are going to need to charge jump. Do it on the
small portion of ground that isn't inclined. If you do it on the incline, you
will not be abel to build up enough speed to clear the red structure. Be aware
that an ice plane will form soon after you land on the red structure.
Head down the hill, it will eventually be split with some spike pits. Past the
two pits, a four shot then a point block. You'll notice that there's four
orange/yellow circles moving in and out from a point. Just avoid these. There's
a spacesuit to the right of them.
Begin to climb the red structures separated by spike pits. Look out for the
four shot bot, then make your way to the narrow green ledge. Use the platforms
to get across the pit. There's a four shot on the next incline. At the top, you
have two paths to choose from. If you drop down, hold right. You'll find a 1up
and a star bomb - which should make dealing with the four shot enemies easier.
Jump out over the spike pit. You'll notice that the decline leads here as well.
To the right, more energy speheres and then moving platforms over a spike pit.
Jump from platform to platform until you've passed the pit. After a decline,
there will be more red columns with pits of spikes. There will be a four shot
on the first column - use a star bomb if you got them. Jump onto the moving
platform, then onto the next. Wait on this one. It carries you up, get into
that black door you see to the right to progress.
*********
Stage 3
*********
Time: 400
Head to the right, there's going to be large green drills here. Tempt them, let
them pass before you try to pass them. After a few, you'll see a green robot
tjat jumps from time to time. Jump on the Bouncing Robot and it will turn into
a small walking robot. Jump on this to defeat it. Keep heading right, grab the
spacesuit if you need it then you'll be at a pit with a blue urchin. The urchin
jumps up and down. You can bypass this pit, just wait for the urchin to begin
its descent so it doesn't striek you from below. You need a weapon to defeat an
urchin.
You can defeat the urchins with a roll, but it's not recommended when they're
above bottomless pits. After the second urchin, a block. The block contains a
moon boomerang. Pass the enxt pit and climb the hill. There's more green drills
and a bouncing robot. These robots are instantly destroyed from weapons, so use
a moon if you must. You can also destroy the green drills, but that's kind of a
waste of a boomerang - a roll works just as well.
The next item is a spacesuit, found right before an urchin pit. The block
afterwards contains a moon block. Jump up into the pipe. Heading right on this
new floor brings you to three blocks, two point blocks and one with three 1ups.
Head to the right from the pipe. Those blocks in the ceiling are worth some
1ups. Jump from block to block, then jump down to where there is a bouncing
robot. Jump on the green switch to reverse gravity. Walk across the ceiling,
jumping over spikes. At the next switch, wait for the platform to be under you
so you don't die on the spikes. Ride it to the right and jump to land, charging
if you must. Continue on until the next spike pit. Get over it and take the
door to the next stage.
**********
Final Boss
**********
Time: 400
Vegetron, the entire game's lead up to this cataclysmic battle. Well, it's not
really that tough, but at least it _is_ the hardest fight in this game.
Veggie's riging a large pink face with spikes on the bottom. He moves back and
forth across the stage with a small arc downwards. When he stops in the middle
of the screen, he will move straight down.
What you do is charge jump when he's landed. Hit Vegetron himself. After the
first hit, the machine turns purple. Bounce off of him. The machine will be
moving faster. Two hits and it will turn blue. Two hits and he's defeated.
Note that you must run and jump after he's landed. Otherwsie you will be hit.
After teh fight, Vegetron repents and it's the end!
Names aren't official. The only official naming I know with regards to enemies
is that they are called "Vegebots."
