V 1.0, Sunday, March 30th, 2003:  I made the Guide for the first level,

V 1.1, Sunday, April 6th, 2003: I've had a busy week and haven't been able to do much but:
  I updated the first level so it shows how to get the gopher, and I updated the animal
  section for the animal abilities. I also added the special ability to the controls section.

Clayton and his Dad are in a lab.

Dad:  "Clayton! We've Perfected the Serum!"
Dad:  "The Serum can be mixed with Clay to change a person into an animal."

Suddenly, a big dude (Jobo) in a grass skirt and a mask appears.

Jobo: "Give me the Formula to make the Serum!"
Dad:  "Never!"
Jobo: "We will see about that!"

Then, Jobo thrusts his staff and transforms you, Clayton, into a lump of Blue Clay.

Dad:  "CLAYTON!"

Then, the big dude and Clayton's dad disapear.

Clayton: "I don't care if I'm made of Clay. I promise to rescue my Father and the Serum!"

Clayton then slowly rolls himself out of the lab.

Well, since nobody has asked any questions, I guess I'll update this section in a later
version.

Controls:

Up=^
Down=v
Left=<
Right=>
Attack=(Y)
Jump=(B)
Special=(X) (only for some)
Jump Down=v + B

Tips:

-Obviously, try to attack people while they are turned away, and if you have a projectile,
stay as far away as you can and still be able to hit it.
-A purple square with yellow arrows pointing in all dirrections, will teleport you to another
area of the map.
-If you find a purple square with an eye on it (weird looking), and a funnel leading into it,
sould get on top of it and press down. You will fall through a line of Rubies.
-There will be three golden shapes hidden through out each level, a triangle, circle and a
square. Finding each of these allow you to access special things in the level (i.e. special
attacks). There are also purple boxes scattered along the map with one of the shapes
imprinted on them. If you have collected the shape, walk under the purple box with the
coresponding shape, jump, and something special will happen.
-Collecting 100 rubies will get you another life.

Walkthrough notes:

Anything between ~~~ these ~~~ is not necesary to complete the next area of the level
Anything between !!! these !!! is a boss strategy

You'll be outside, you just follow the path. Go into the swirling sand that you come to.

4.1.0  Clayton's Yard

Possible Transformations: Oozy the Mouse, The Cat, Globmeister the Gopher.

    Just go straight into the gray ball, to transform into Oozy (refer to section 5.3 for
information on this character). Then, drop down into the hole and go foreword (grabbing all
the rubies along the way). When you come up to a large hill you will see just below it, your
first enemy. Wait till it's back is turned, then drop down (making sure not to fall on him)
and attack him. His shell will fly off, you need to make sure not to be hit by the shell, or
you will revert back to Muckster form. You need to attack the snail again to actually kill
him. Then go forward (right). You will find another gray ball. Grab it, then, when you attack,
a little ball that will float over your head will fly out and attack all the enemies. Also, with
this extra power-up, it will take two enemy hits to return you to Muckster form. Keep
going. You'll come upon a hole with a little red thing in it. Fall onto the red strip and you'll
bounce. Press (B) while bouncing and you'll jump higher to land on the lower platform.
    Go up the platforms until you land at the top. Go to the left, and jump onto the ledge
to get the Green Emerald. Jump off the ledge and continue on your way. Keep going
straight, ignoring the teleporter, to jump up some platforms and get a star (an extra life).
Go back to the teleporter. Press down when you land on the top of the funnel. When you
land on the ground, go to the right until you find a gold circle, grab it.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 If you wish, you may grab the red ball at the top of the cliff, before hitting the
 purple box. You will then become The Cat (Section 5.2).
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Then, go under the purple box with the circle on it and jump. A platform with a baloon
will come out. Jump on top of it and ride it to the top. You can hit the purple box and go
in the door to the bonus area. The Bonus area will be described in Section 6.
    Going through the teleporter will bring you to the place the gold circle was. Go through
it now, whether you went to the Bonus area or not. Grab the cat power up, it will make this
next part easier. Go Left, until you come upon a tall tree, making sure to get the enemy
and the pinata to get the rubies from them. Climb the tree, making sure to grab the Green
Emeralds. When you get to the top of the tree, drop down to the moving platform. It will
bring you to a tree stump. Jump on top of the tree stump to bounce up to a cloud platform.
    When the cloud moves next to the smaller one, jump on it. Bounce to the little cloud to
the right of it,  jump to the clouds next to it, and follow the path till you find another large
one. Jump on the larger cloud and ride it to some more small ones. Then ride the other big
one down. Head right and the up the cliff.
    Jump up and go into the funnel to freeze everything on screen, then you can kill them
all. Then, you just basically go straight to the finish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On your way to the finish, you can jump up three platforms, then climb three trees and
jump between them to become the Gopher (the brown ball on the third tree), then you
can backtrack to the area where you found the arrow of rubies. You'll find a patch of
little brown dots. Press (X) until you fall through to the tunnel. Then follow the tunnel
to the purple box, hit it, then grab the rubies and the star and leave. Then continue on
to the finish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Soon, you turn back in to Muckster form. then, you get to jump at one of the letters of
C-L-A-Y (when you collect C, L, A and Y, you get to go to a bonus level). Depending on your
final score and what letters you've collected, it will decide which, if any, bonus you get to
go to. You usually get one that is you bouncing on a squares in 4x4 formation. You want
to hit the yellow ones (obviously).

4.1.5

After each level, you have to face a puzzle involving two idiot robots. Anyway's, here are the
answers to this one.

All you have to do, is move the wagon out of the way and the path is opened for them to
commit suicide.
