2. - Walkthrough
===============================================================================

--------------------
Bedrock
--------------------

Start off by moving to the right and jumping over the gap. You will approach
two enemies. The enemy on the roof will drop down at the ground when you get
close to it so be careful. Kill those two enemies by wacking them with you
club. After that, continue to the right. Climb onto the roof of the building.
This will become a vital skill to use in the game so learn it now. All you do
is jump next to a ledge, the "B" button and while holding it, you press up. You
will eventually climb it. Practice it by climbing the roof of this building and
then onto the highest platform.

At the edge to the right on this platform, you will see what appears to be a
dinosaur sitting on a log. Stand on its tail and hit its head with your club.
It will act as a catapult and shoot you into the air. Up there and to the left
is an extra life so grab that while you can. Now fall down the platform and
continue to the right across the large skeleton. Be quick because these parts
of the spine that don't have ribs, or support beams, below them will drop if
you're on them for too long. At the same time, after the first few gaps, a bird
will fly overhead so be very careful around here.

Keep moving to the right over the next gap and kill the monster that is in your
path. You will come across a large spinning wheel with small platforms. You
need to jump and climb onto one of those platforms and use it to get to the
higher platform to the right. Keep climbing and move to the right. Kill the
monsters here and fall down to the lower paltform as you approach it. Jump on
the platform the bird is holding for a nice ride to the other side.

Kill the two dive bombing birds that drop down from the roof and slide down the
hill. At the bottom, you need to jump onto another platform so be very very
careful. Kill these two monsters that block your path and use the catapult up
ahead to get onto the higher platform. Fall down a platform to hit the barrel
in the middle for the thrown hammers. Now fall back down and catapult to the
top again and fall down the platform to the right. Keep moving to the right for
a boss fight.

This boss fight can be difficult if you don't have the thrown hammers. If you
do, wait for it to attack and get as close to the flame without being burned.
Now whenever he leans forward to attack, throw a hammer and hit him to hurt
him. Just hit him a few times for him to be knocked out so you may safely exit
this stage. Now if you don't have the thrown hammer power-up, it gets a bit
tricky. You need to remain close to the fire and learn the timing. Jump over
the flames just before he pulls his head up so you will come close to the
ground when he stops attacking. Hit him in the head once with your club and run
back and jump to avoid the flame.

--------------------
Village
--------------------

After each stage you will have a map showing you different paths you can take.
The village is the level to the north of the stage you just finished. Move to
the left one and up one to enter the village. Climb to the top of the building
you start in front of and hit the barrel. Now fall back down and jump over the
gap to the right. Attack the robber but be careful, these enemies take two hits
to kill. You could also hold the attack button for a stronger attack that could
take them out in one hit.

Climb the building you're in front and hit the barrels for some nice items to
boost your power and a thrown weapon. Jump to the next platform and just jump
on the roof to avoid the robber with the gun. Climb to the very top for a
power-up and fall down to the right. Break the barrel under the house and jump
over the gap to the right to continue. You will reach another building. Jump
onto the roof and kill the motorcycle monster.

There will be a shade over a window on the top right of this building. On it,
you will bounce continuously. If you hit the jump button right before you
bounce up, you will get launched high into the sky. Use it and move to the
right to land on one of the branches. Now you could climb and jump across the
branches for quite a bit while moving to the right. Do that and kill the birds
that cross your path. Jump at the end and you should land on a house.

Break the barrel for a power-up and avoid the robber below you. Continue to the
right jumping up the path while killing the birds in your way. Be quick here
because some of the bricks will fall if you stay on them too long. Move to the
right and kill the three jumping enemies. Fall down the hole at the end and you
will land on a boat. Try to remain on the platforms as you move to the right
and only jump on the boat when you have to, there are a lot of power-ups on the
platforms. Continue this path until the boat reaches a wall. Jump to the top of
the platforms and you will come out on the screen above this area.

Move to the right and jump onto the ribs of the skeleton. You could jump across
these to avoid the spikes. Kill the birds along the way and jump onto the
skeleton's head to reach the higher path. Talk to Wilma for some free throwing
axes. Move to the right on the lower platform and just keep throwing axes at
him until he dies. This is a really simple boss. Just don't let him get too
close.

--------------------
Ice Village
--------------------

This level is to the north of the village you just finished. Be careful here
since you will slide on the ice. Start moving to the right and jump onto the
houses. Break the barrel and jump over the gap. Kill the enemy there and jump
onto the ledge of the next platform to climb up it. Kill the next enemy and
slide down the hill. Hop across the platforms and up the ledge. Talk to Betty
and continue to the right by jumping the gap.

Hit the next enemy and keep moving past it quickly because it will come back to
life. Jump across the platforms and get onto the large spinning wheel. Kill the
cloud monster and fall down the steps. Be careful around the spinning platforms
because there are spikes along the ceiling that will hurt you along the way.
Make it across the three moving platforms and kill the monsters on the next
platform. Slide and hang on the ledge of the next platform to avoid the spikes
on the ceiling.

Fall down the platform at the end and you will see a small gap to the right.
Run at it at full speed and duck before it. Make sure to hold the down button
all the way through so you won't get hurt along the way. Jump onto the next
platform and keep moving. This boss is pretty tough. To get around him you have
to jump over him. You need to get a running start and jump over him at the
perfect time. Each time he stops at the end, he turns around and shoots two
shots. Just try to kill it with the slingshot and if you still need to then go
with the club. Be very careful though because he's always moving or attacking
and the ice might mess you up.

--------------------
Jungle
--------------------

This is the obviously wooded area in the southwest corner. Move to the right
and kill the two monsters. Jump up the the next ledge and kill that monster.
Climb the ledges above the cave to get on top of the mountain. Jump across the
logs, but you won't quite reach the last one. Grab onto it and let it drop so
you can get a slingshot. Now fall to the right. Jump across the logs to get
over the water fall and continue to the right.

Climb the belly of the large dinosaur to the right and watch for the logs
coming down the waterfall. Jump across them to make it to the other side. Fall
to the right and kill the venus fly trap. Jump up to the higher platform and
move further to the right. Move to the right and kill the snake wrapped around
the tree. Be careful around it since it will jump at you. Right after that will
be a jumping tiger so be careful killing them too.

Keep going until you reach Barney. Talk to him and continue to the right. Climb
up the next platform and you will see swinging platforms over large gaps. You
need to use all of those. Roll down the horn to make it over the large gap.
Climb the logs to the top of the waterfall and continue to the right when you
reach the top. Jump onto the logs that are shooting up for an easy boss fight.
Hit the coconuts that fall at the boss and go under him when he gets close. If
you want, you could just hold a powerful swing and hit him a few times. You
really shouldn't have a problem with this fight.

--------------------
Dungeon
--------------------

This level is in the northwest corner. Kill the bats and jump over the gap to
the right. Keep moving to the right and you will see some stones on some
chains. Just run under them and don't stop or they will hurt you. Climb up two
platforms and start moving to the left. Climb up two more platforms and go to
the right. Jump to the platform at the end. Keep moving past those falling
stones. Keep moving to the right and enter the door for an extra life. Get out
of that room and continue to the right.

You will see two skeletons, make them chase you and kill both of them before
you do anything else. After they're dead, go back to where they were. Jump onto
the lever as if you wanted to climb a ledge and it will open the door. Quickly
run to the right to get past the door before it closes again. This part is very
tricky so do as I say exactly and quickly. The lava will rise quickly in this
room. Quickly jump across to the platform on the right. Quickly press start and
you will have the option to fly.

Fly up to the platform above and to the left of you. Land and quickly do it
again to get to the platform above and to the right. Now you could jump up to
the platform that is above and to the left of you. Quickly jump up and climb up
the right side of the next hole and you will be safe. Now you may enter the
door to the left. Climb up the ledges and move to the left at the top. Fall
down to the second platform on the left side and continue to the left. Keep
running to the left and killing monsters in your path, go through the door at
the end.

Quickly enter the next set of stairs that is immediately to your left. Move to
the right and fly up to the higher platform when you reach the edge. Climb to
the top and continue to the right. Kill the miniboss here with simple attacks.
Fall down a few ledges on the left side for the next set of stairs. This boss
fight is simple. Just attack the bats that he shoots at you and attack him
every chance you get.

--------------------
Water
--------------------

These monsters here will swim up above you and then drop down and dart across
the screen. Move to the edge of this next ledge and kill the monster when it
attacks you. After you kill it, jump the ledge. Since you're underwater you can
jump higher and farther so you could make this jump. Climb the next ledge and
kill the monsters here. Jump the next few gaps while killing monsters. You will
reach a larger gap where you won't see the other side. Stop and wait for the
monster to float by and then jump the gap.

Continue to the right and you will reach another large gap. You will notice a
few bubbles floating up, you will need to jump across them. Climb up the next
tall ledge and jump down to the right when you reach the hole. Land on the
ledges on the left side here. You will notice some bubbles floating to the
left, you need to jump across them to the right. You will reach a platform and
you will see a gap followed by a tall ledge. Jump up and right before you start
falling again, press pause. Enter the "Dive" mode and swim to the top of the
platform. Jump the next gap and do the same thing to get to the high platform.
Climb up there to finish this simple stage.

--------------------
Jungle Village
--------------------

Jump onto the hut you start under. Use it to get to the higher platform to the
right. Kill the enemy to the right and fall off the platform. Kill this enemy
and keep moving  to the right, jump the gap and climb the ledge at the next
platform. Climb the roof of this hut and move across the rooftops to make it to
the right. Slide down the slope and cross the bridges. Jump the next few gaps
to avoid the spikes at the bottom while killing the monsters in the way. Climb
the house at the end of the path.

Climb the next hut to take the high paths. Kill the man carrying the rickshaw.
Now jump onto the rickshaw and it will roll over a large jump, you will land on
a boat. Kill the monster here and continue to the right. At the end of the
boat, you need to jump to the floating platforms. Hop across these until you
reach the boss. All this boss will do is move side to side and shoot fireballs.
You could duck below the fireballs and climb the platform above you to get
around him. Keep attacking him and get around him if need be until he dies.

--------------------
Future
--------------------

Start off by moving to the right and jumping over the gaps. You will eventually
reach George Jetson for some reason. Talk to him and go up the elevator. Avoid
the crushers and jump over the flames to make it up the next elevator. Move  to
the left and use the fly command in the pause menu to make it up to the
conveyor belts. Stick to the high paths here. Move to the right and avoid the
crushers again. Fly to the first conveyor belt and jump across the rest. At the
two where there's one on top of the other, you will need to fly.

Go up the elevator and grab onto the hook to swing across the flames. Kill the
robot to the left and go up the elevator. Kill the robots to the right and go
up the next elevator when you reach it. Jump across the platforms and take the
lower path. Go up the elevator at the end of this path. You will now face the
final boss. He's got multiple forms to fight. First form is just walking side
to side and shooting rockets. You could duck under them and jump over him.

This next form will jump around. You could run and duck to get under him. Every
so often he will stop and punch with a large boxing glove. This is a perfect
oppurtunity for you to attack if you're behind him. Afterwards he will enter a
large robot tank. Jump onto the tread and attack the glass. Every so often he
will shoot a slw moving laser beam from the top cannon. Avoid that whenever he
shoots. Just keep attacking the glass until it break, then you just need to hit
him once for him to die and finish the game!

3. - Power-Ups
===============================================================================

Thrown Axe    - This power will throw axes by holding up and pressing the
               attack button. This is a useful power-up for ranged attacks.
Hamburger     - The hamburger will increase your maximum power. It is a passive
               power-up so you don't have to do anything special to activate
               it.
Steak         - I'm not sure if this is a steak or not but that's what I'll
               call it, they are a passive power-up that will increase your
               maximum health.
Slingshot     - This is similar to the thrown hammer. The difference is that
               instead of an arcing attack, you will have a straight shot.
Egg Bomb      - You will drop a bomb when you activate this power-up. It will
               eventually blow up inflicting damage to every monster on the
               screen.
