Zool: Ninja of the "N'th" Dimension is a 2D platformer for the Sega Master
System. The gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from a platformer from the
early 90s but plays a little faster than most which could make movement and
jumping rather tricky at times. The interesting thing about this game is that
you have to collect 99 items in each stage to unlock a proceed coin at the end
of each level to complete it. That does include zool shields or 1 ups for
example, but you'll mostly just find candy or cassettes, whatever the theme
item for each stage is. Make sure not to miss a single item as there's usually
not much more than 99 and you will need almost every single one you can find!

Items
___________________
1 UP Pretty self explanatory here. The icon just says 1 Up and
it will give you an extra life.
BOMB The bomb looks like what you'd expect a bomb to look like
and it will kill every enemy on the screen. You can't carry
it and use it whenever you'd like, it just detonates when
you touch it.
CANDY There are a few different models for candy in the game.
These will be found in area 1. They will add greatly to your
item count to complete a level.
FISH Gold fish in bowls are similar to candy or fruit that you've
collected oh so many times. They are the items in area 4
alongside rubber duckies.
FRUIT Similar to candy, you will find these in area 3. You will
need to collect mostly fruit to collect 99 items in those
stages to unlock the large coin.
HEART The heart is what you'd expect it to be, it gives you one
extra hit point and allows you to get hit another time
without dying.
JUMP BOOST The jump boost resembles an up arrow. It simply allows you
to jump higher than normal.
LARGE COIN The large coin only appears when you collect 99 items in a
stage. The arrow will stop spinning in the top right and
point towards it when it reveals itself.
MUSIC Music is the same as candy except they will be found in
area 2. Collect 99 items in those stages to proceed.
NUTS Nuts are just random items you will find through area 5.
ZOOL SHIELD This looks like a shield with a Z on it, it will make you
invincible for a short period of time.

Area 1.1
___________________
Defy video game logic and start off by going to the left for an jump boost. Now
head back to the right and slide down the slope while picking up the candy and
the zool shield. Climb up the wall and jump onto the moving platform here. Jump
to the stationary platform to the right. Drop down to the right and pick up all
of the candy down here. Start moving to the right and jump onto the first
platform you can. Kill the monster here and run around the middle for a jump
pad that will boost you to the next platform above.
Collect the candy up here while you jump to the next platform to the upper
right. Now ride the moving platform to the left and collect the candies here.
Jump to the left for a big batch of candies floating there. Head back to where
you jumped onto the moving platform and now head right. Gain some speed and
jump off the platform to the right, collecting some candies while you clear the
spikes below.
Kill the bee here and jump the gap here. Inch close to the next gap so you can
see a wall crawler to avoid. As it starts to move downward, jump and grab onto
the top of the wall to finish climbing to the platform above. Slide down the
slope to pick up the candies. Jump onto the first platform from the right while
moving to the left. There's a jump pad here but spikes right above it so you
have to move to the left while using the pad. Land on the platform above and
you'll land on a zool shield in the process.
Jump along the platforms to the left and you will see the path split. Go to the
left first and there will be a platform that collapses as you run on it with a
lot of candy. Pick up all the candies and head back to where those platforms
split. Now go to the right and quickly jump onto the moving platform here. Grab
the candies here and jump one more platform to the right. Slide down the slope
while you pick up the remaining candies in this area. These will be the final
of the 99 candies you need to pick up in this level, which will reveal the
large coin just ahead. Pick up the large coin to complete this level.
___________________
Area 1.2
___________________
Slide down the slope to your right and immediately jump when you reach the
bottom so you don't slide into the spikes. Climb up the wall and jump to the
arrow of candy. Keep repeating this until you collect all 11 candies here. Now
jump to the left and follow the floating platforms to the upper right. Pick up
the zool shield to become invincible and jump into the spikes on the platform
to the right. Just run along the ground, through all the spikes here, picking
up the candies here. You should now have 25 total when you reach the end of
this platform.
Run off the platform and head left when you land for four more candies. Now
continue going left and jump when you reach the wall. Keep jumping and you will
reach a hidden area. Jump down to the left and kill the enemy here. Pick up the
jump boost and start jumping up the left wall while trying to avoid the spikes
to collect a few 1 ups. If you hit one of the spikes, just keep jumping through
them through your invincibility frames. Once you collect all the one ups, jump
to the platform to the upper right. Stand under the candies to hit a jump pad
and boost up above to where you came from.
Now drop down again to the right and head to the right. Pick up the zool shield
and candy. You'll have to be quick to make full use of the zool shield here.
Bounce up on the jump pad and continue to the right. Jump the first spike pit
and you'll start to go uphill. Quickly jump to the platform above and to the
left now. Kill the enemies while you're still invincibile to make this area a
little easier. Once this area is clear of enemies, climb up the platforms and
collect all of the candy just sitting in one place. Now jump to the right and
keep running across the collapsing blocks to collect more candy. Jump at the
end and kill the turret waiting for you.
Now jump down a couple of platforms to the right and you'll see some small
floating blocks. These do not collapse when you stand on them. Simply jump up
all of them to the top. Grab the candy and fall to the right into as many candy
as you can. If you've followed this guide, you can miss most of those candies
in the drop so don't feel like you have to climb back up here as the platforms
can be kind of tricky to land on. Follow the platforms to the right and collect
the rest of the candies you see while climbing to the upper right corner. Once
you get 99 candies, jump into the coin above the moving platform to complete
this level.
___________________
Area 1.3
___________________
Start off this level by sliding down the slope to the right, collecting the
candy along the way. There's an enemy waiting for you at the bottom so either
crouch and quickly shoot it or jump over it and down the pit. When you go down
the pit, collect the candy to the left and just run to the left. You'll find
yourself fall into a hidden area. Continue to the left. Pick up the zool shield
and climb the left wall. Jump and grab as many candy as you can. Continue
climbing the wall and jumping until you have all of the candy here. When this
room is empty, head back to the right and jump out the way you came in.
Now climb the wall on the right while avoiding the little crawling monster on
it. Once at the top, jump onto the moving platform and jump to the next
platform to the left. Collect the candies here and keep returning until you
have all the candies. At this point, you should have 33 in total. When ready,
climb back to where the moving platform is and fall to the right. Slide down
the slope to the right and jump over the spikes for some more candies. Now jump
up these platforms to the highest point you can. You'll collect some more
candies as you jump to the right. Don't jump to the platform with the little
flower cannon on it, that's where the bee will also spawn. Grab the candy here
and fall just along the left side of the platform you're on to fall into three
more candy.
Head back to the left when you're on the ground to pick up some candies that
you missed and head back to the right. Jump into the candies that you see and
ride up the moving platform for another set of 4 candy. At this point, you
should have 61 following this guide. Drop down the pit and pick up the candies
and jump boost down here. Climb back out of the pit and head to the right.
Slide down the slope while crouching and shooting to kill a flower cannon. Just
run into the wall to the right for a hidden area. Follow the path for a 1 up.
At the end of this path, just jump a few times to jump through a hidden hole to
get back to the surface.
Run back to the left while jumping over spikes and collecting candies along the
way. Jump along the platforms here as you circle back up and to the right.
Collect the candies on the last platform that will collapse and jump to the
green platform to the right. Walk behind that first gum drop and there's a jump
pad just to the left of the bomb which will bring you to a lot more candy. Kill
the bee here and jump off the platform to your right. Collect whatever candy
you need to from here and grab the coin to complete this level.

Area 1.4

This giant bee is the first boss you will come across in the game and has two
stages to deal with. It will first start in the top right corner, dip down to
the middle and float back to the upper left. If you simply start the battle by
running to the bottom right corner, you'll be safe from this and its next
attack where it floats back to the upper right while shooting three projectiles
that bounce to the left. Once it shoots its third projectile, run back to the
bottom left corner because it will come down to the bottom right. Stand in
between the two pink donuts on the far left on the ground to avoid its third
attack. It shoots two sets of four missiles that stay the height of the bee,
travel and then drop straight down. The spot in between the two far left pink
donuts will keep you safe. After it shoots those two sets of missiles, it will
stop in the middle of the screen and just hover there for a few seconds, now is
your chance to strike! Keep jumping over it back and forth and spin attack both
of its wings until they both break.
Once they're broken, it will enter its second stage of this battle. It will fly
to the upper right corner and wait for a second. It will then drop straight
down and quickly fly to the middle along the ground, then shoot back up into
the air. After a couple seconds of floating, it will drop down again and shoot
quickly to the bottom left corner. From there, it will shoot to the top right
corner and just repeat this process. In this second stage, your best strategy
is to just start in the bottom left corner. Get some shots in while it shoots
along the ground to its middle position. Now run to the bottom right corner
while it's safe. Shoot its back a little bit when it drops down to the ground
and moves to the bottom left. Once it flies back to the upper right, just head
back to the bottom left and repeat this process until it dies.

Jump over the drum right in front of you and shoot the violin that hops into
frame. Collect the cassettes here. Jump onto the next platform to the right and
collect the six records here. Jump onto the speakers and use this to reach the
large trombone sticking out of the ground ahead. Jump above it to ride the
soundwaves up to the platform above. Kill the enemies to the left and head that
way to pick up six more records. Jump up to the next platform above and
continue to the right. Jump to the platform to the right for three more musical
pieces, currently leaving you at 21.
There will be an enemy down below, just drop off the platform on the right side
to land on it. Head to the right, picking up the record on the piano, and jump
to the next platform. Pick up the jump boost and all the musical pieces here.
Jump to the platform to the upper left from here and run to the far left for
some more music. This should leave you at 37 musical pieces in total so far.
Now continue to the right. This wire at the top will be electrified, you can
see the current moving through the wire, don't touch it! You could hang on this
wire and move across, just press down to drop off. Pick up the musical pieces
along the way and drop down at the last platform for a big pile of records.
Pick them all up and the zool shield here to leave you at 64 current items.
Bounce on the drum ahead and to the platform to the right. Quickly climb up the
wall to the right while you're invincible and jump to the higher platform to
the left. Collect all the musical items here and you should currently have 74.
Drop down and move to the right. Drop straight down again and pick up a zool
token. Jump on the record player and it'll move you to the right. Jump onto the
amp before you fall into the spikes! Now head all the way to the right until
you drop down for the remaining music pieces in the level. Once you have 99,
the arrow will straighten itself out to the upper left corner. The exit coin is
actually all the way back at the beginning so start heading back!
Head to the left when you have enough items, riding up the music waves on the
trombone sticking out of the ground when you reach it. Climb the platforms here
until you reach the electrified wire. The current doesn't travel too far so
you'll be safe until the end. Drop down just before you get shocked and
continue onward to the left. At the end of the piano, wait for the crawler on
the left wall to be on the bottom of the screen and jump over it. Climb up the
wall and head left. Drop down at the end and then head right to follow the
path. Drop down again and head all the way to the left. Jump on the drum when
you reach it and ride up the music waves up into the sky. The coin will be to
the left when you reach the top. If you get stuck in the air above the coin,
just press down and you'll fall into the coin.
___________________
Area 2.2
___________________
Begin by collecting all 9 records at the beginning. Now head to the left and
jump onto the wall over the wall crawler when it comes down to the ground. Kill
the floating enemies here and jump to the next platform to the right. Drop down
to collect all of the cassettes. Continue to the right and pick up some more
musical items on the first two drums. This should leave you at 25 in total so
far. Continue to the right and drop down when you reach the end of this path.
Pick up all the items here and climb back up the wall to the left when it's
safe of the crawler. Jump to the platform to the right for some more items. You
should now have 50 at this point.
Jump to the lower platform to the right. Grab the musical items here and
continue to the right for some more. Now jump back to the last platform to the
left before the tall wall. Jump up to the platform to the upper right for some
more music and a jump boost. Jump onto the amps to continue to the right. Drop
down onto the record player for some more music, then continue along the top of
the amps. Drop down at the end of this path and collect the music to the left
on the amps.
Drop down when you reach the wall and continue on to the right. Collect more
music along the way. Jump onto the platform above the spikes to continue to the
upper right. Up here should be a big pile of cassettes, which should give you
the 99 that you need. If not, don't worry, there's still plenty of music to go
at this point. Jump to the right to avoid a pit of spikes and climb a few walls
while avoiding crawlers while you continue to the right. Pick up the coin at
the end of this path to complete this level.
___________________
Area 2.3
___________________
There's a hidden area right above you in the start so start climbing the left
wall. Watch out for the crawler on the wall and try to jump across to the other
wall when you reach it, but be mindful of the crawler on that wall! There's 16
musical items up here for you to grab to get a good head start on your journey
for this level. When you get all 16, drop down and go to the right. Jump onto
the trombone here to float up but don't go into the opening! Just grab the
cassettes and hang onto the exposed wire to the left. Move all the way to the
left and drop before the current zaps you. You won't be able to grab the last
record here without taking damage so just ignore it. You should now have 27
records.
Just run past that trombone without jumping over it so you don't float up into
the spikes. Jump as far as you can to the right to reach some stacked drums.
Jump on them and continue to the right to pick up some more musical items in
the bottom right corner of this area. You should now have 37 items in total.
Climb the wall to the right when the crawler not a threat. Run past the amps
without jumping on them first for some more records. Once the ground is clear,
climb the amps and use the drum to jump to a platform to the left. Jump to the
left but grab onto the wall, don't jump to the platform or you'll take damage
from the spikes on the end. Jump from the top of the wall to get over the
spikes and collect the records and 1 ups in this hidden area. Now jump back to
the drum and climb up the wall to the right.
Continue to the right while avoiding these hopping enemies. Ride the record
players while avoiding the spikes and collecting more music. At the end, jump
down and grab the 4 music items at the bottom, to the left of the amps. Now
jump to the right, dropping straight down will have you fall into spikes. Kill
the enemies here while you collect 4 more records to the left. Jump up the
small platforms to the right, collecting the 5 records up here, then drop down
to the piano. Pick up the items as you head to the right. Climb the wall and
bounce along the drums. This should give you the final 99 items you need but if
you still need more, there are plenty more to the right.
Now that you have 99, the arrow will straighten out and point to the bottom
left corner of the map. Head back to the left when ready, across the drums and
across the piano. Make sure to avoid the spikes after the piano and the
crawlers as you climb the two walls after the spikes. Jump down to the left but
watch for the spikes down here. Climb the last wall while avoiding the crawler
and pass the trombone. Run to the left from here to reach the coin to complete
this level.

Area 2.4

The evil guitar will be the second boss you encounter. Unlike the first, it
only has one stage to it with the same pattern that reverses and then repeats
until you kill it. You will see it start in the middle of the screen, high in
the air. It will lower down to just above the spikes and then shoot missiles to
the upper left corner, which will then drop and cover the whole left platform.
It will then float to the right platform and then back up to the middle. From
there, it will shoot four quick shots to the left that will bounce to the left.
After those shots, it will make a quick movement towards the inside of the left
platform before floating back to the middle. It will then repeat this whole
pattern except in opposite directions (shooting to the right and flying to the
left.) It will continue this pattern until you kill it.
This boss actually has a very simple strategy but its hitbox can be a bit janky
at times which can make it tough. The strategy is to get as many shots in as
you can while standing opposite of where it shoots and jumping on its head when
it floats towards your side. So the first time it drops down to shoot, quickly
jump to the other side. Shoot it and jump after its shots land to bounce on its
head as many times as you can. Now just stay here and keep shooting it until it
drops down to the spikes again to change its shooting angle. Just keep
repeating this while landing as many shots as you can. The jumps to bounce on
its head are as much defensive as it is offensive which is a nice bonus and
it's the easiest way to deal with it. This boss does however have a lot of
health so it'll take a while to finish this boss off.

Now we'll found ourselves in a healthy world full of fruits and veggies! Start
off by jumping to the platform to the left, killing the tomato there and
collecting the bananas. Jump down again to the left and kill the flying enemy.
Collect the items here and keep moving to the left, collecting all the items
until you reach a slope. You'll see a small bush under the far right mushroom
at it. That's a carrot that will pop out if you go near it and hurt you. You
could walk near it and let it pop out then burrow itself into the ground. At
that point, you have about a half a second to run past it without taking damage
to collect all the fruit. It's plenty of time but you do have to be quick. You
should now have 14 items in total so far. Head back to the right until you
reach the platform you dropped down from.
Watch for another carrot before you drop down and kill the banana in the pit
while collecting more food. Jump out of the pit and kill the bouncing enemy
before the spikes. Jump onto the can and quickly kill the flying enemy there.
Continue to the right and watch for the carrot in the next set of fruit to pick
up. Continue on the ground for another batch of fruit as well. Now you should
have 36 fruit. Climb up the wall here and avoid the carrot at the top. Slide
down the slope and kill the enemies here while collecting some more fruit. Jump
onto the next wall above the spikes to collect the fruit here and jump on top
of it to kill the enemy waiting for you.
You should now have 44 fruit in total so far. Stand on the far right edge and
wait for the floating enemy to pass by underneath you. Drop straight down along
the wall when it's safe and you'll fall into a small pit that has some enemies
to kill and more fruit to collect. Climb back up the wall and jump to the
platform just above the pit. Kill the enemies here and pick up the jump boost
to your right. Head back to the left edge of this platform now and jump up to
collect some fruit high up in the air. Alternatively, you can jump off the
platform to the left to collect them as well.
Climb the tree branches when you reach them and collect the fruit on the higher
platforms. Drop down in between the two platforms here and you'll land in a big
pile of oranges to collect. Continue to the right while avoiding the spikes for
the rest of the fruit for this level. Just be careful at the end with the last
7 oranges because there's a carrot hiding in the middle of them. Now that you
should have 99 fruit, it's time to head to the exit coin.
Start heading back to the left and jumping over the spikes in your way. Watch
out for the carrot at the base of the tree you can climb. Slide down the slope
ahead while avoiding another carrot at the bottom. Climb up a couple of walls
and an upward slope but be careful at the top for another hidden carrot. Drop
down and continue to the left for the next tree you see. Climb up the small
branches for the large coin waiting at the top of the tree to complete this
level.
___________________
Area 3.2
___________________
You will start in the middle of this level but fortunately there are plenty of
items all around for you to collect, making it easy to find enough items to
continue. Start off by falling to the right. Kill the tomato down here and pick
up the mushroom. Jump onto the box of oranges to the right, picking up the
mushrooms on each side. Fall to the ground to teh right but avoid the two
oranges on the left side here, there's a carrot waiting to attack. Pick up the
mushrooms on the right and inch close to the carrot to bait it out. Once it
burrows itself into the ground again, quickly grab the oranges.
Climb up the wall to your right. Kill the tomato at the top while avoiding the
floating enemy. Pick up the four fruit items here and drop into the pit to the
right, try to land in the middle of it. You'll land on an enemy to kill and can
pick up some more items down here. Climb out of the pit and you should have 20
items now. You should start heading to the left from here, there will be enough
items that way and the large coin is in that direction. Collect the fruit under
the starting platform when you reach it and drop down to the left for a couple
more.
Watch out for the carrot hiding in the next bush, just jump over it. Drop into
this pit as well for a zool shield, jump boost, and some more fruit to collect.
Climb back out of the pit and collect the fruit to the left. Don't jump down at
the edge of this platform, instead climb the platforms, collecting the fruit
along the way. Slide down the slope to the left when you reach the top. Just
drop straight down when you reach the end of this branch and kill the enemies
to the right. Pick up the oranges to the right while avoiding the carrot hiding
in the middle of them. You should now be a little more than half way there with
53 total items.
Run off the platform to the left and you'll fall onto another platform, don't
fall all the way to the ground just yet. Kill the banana on the second platform
from the ground and collect the items here. Now drop down, killing the enemies,
and proceed to the left. Slide down the slope and climb the wall. There's a
floating enemy that shoots and a carrot at the top. It's tough to avoid both
but give it your best try. If you get hit, you get a couple seconds of
invincibility frames so just hurry and collect the rest of the fruit in this
area.
You should now have 72 total items, head back to the right until you reach that
tree with all the items on the branches that you slid down from the top. It's
time to climb to the top of this tree while collecting all the fruit along the
way. Once you reach the top, jump to the platform to the left. Kill the tomato
and continue to the left while collecting more fruit. Slide down the slope to
the left and kill another tomato at the bottom of it. Collect the rest of the
fruit here to get the 99 you need to reveal the coin. Jump back up the slope
you just slid down from and drop to the platform directly below this one for
the large coin to complete this level.
___________________
Area 3.3
___________________
Head to the right, picking up the fruit right in front of you. Climb the wall
to the next platform above. Now climb the branches of the tree and jump to the
fruit to the left at the top. Collect all of them by climbing the tree a couple
of times and jumping for them. Once you have 17 fruit by clearing all the fruit
to the left at the top, just head to the right while on the ground. Watch for
the carrot just past the tree and slide down the slope. Collect the fruit under
the slope and continue to the right. Once you collect the two mushrooms on the
lowest platform with the carrot in the middle of them, jump back up the
platforms to the tree with the branches in the top left.
Climb to the top of this tree and slide down the branches to the right. Jump
the gaps between the branches and collect all of the fruit while you slide
across branches until you fall to the ground. You should now be almost half way
there with 49 total items. Climb the tree to the right while collecting the
fruit along the way. When you reach the top of the tree, jump to the branch to
the left to collect some more fruit. Once that branch is clear, head to the
right of the top of the tree for the top platform there.
There will be a carrot hiding on the right side of the box of oranges here to
watch out for. Fall down the platforms to the right from here while killing the
enemies in your way. Collect the fruit at the bottom as you proceed to the
right. Soon you will reach some cans you can jump on. Jump to the base of the
next tree from here and climb the branches collecting the fruit along the way.
At the top, you can jump to the left in the air for a jump boost. After you
have that, slide down the branch to the right near the top of the tree.
Be careful when you reach the end of the branch, a flying enemy will be waiting
for you. You can jump back to avoid it for now and then jump the gap to collect
som more fruit. Jump down to the base of the next tree when you reach the end
of the second tree here. Climb the wall to the right and collect the orange on
the right side of the platform at the top of the wall. Watch out for the carrot
to the left of the next cans. Jump down to the big drop to the right and
collect the rest of the fruit in the far bottom right corner.
Now you should have 99 items total to unlock the large coin. Use the open can
to bounce to the platform above it. From there, you can now jump to the wall to
the left and climb up to the top of the platform. Continue to the left until
you reach the first tree you see. Climb up the branches to the top for the
large coin to be waiting for you near the top of the tree, just to the left.

This boss is relatively easy as its moves are very predictable. It will start
in the upper right corner. From there, it will dive straight down and float
straight up. Then it will dive slightly to the left and straight up from where
it lands. It does this 4 times until it reaches the far left side. When it
dives the fourth time, it will move straight back to the upper left corner.
After those, it will dive straight down again and then shoot bullets out of its
bottom. It then floats back up while shooting bullets and floats to the upper
left corner. It will repeat this pattern until it dies.
The boss can be relatively time consuming but it shouldn't be too difficult.
You'll want to stand on the two stacked cans in the middle of the boss room and
attack it as much as you can while it's to your right. You'll have to time a
jump while it dives in its second position going into the third to get over it
safely without taking damage. Just wait in the bottom right corner until it
moves back to the top right. Now jump to the left and wait in between the stack
of two cans and the single can, just hang on the wall to avoid its machine gun.
Once it moves back to the upper right, you can jump back onto the cans in the
middle and fire away to deal more damage. Repeat this strategy until it dies.

Head to the right and collect your first set of items. Kill the light bulb that
will rush you. Stand on the yellow part of the red and yellow platform just
ahead and wait for the mallet to come close to you. Don't worry, it won't hit
you. Once it hits the red platform, it will launch the yellow platform up in
the air. At the top, jump to the left quickly to grab some items. Pick up the
fish in bowls to the right and climb up the wall when you land. Jump off the
platform to the left to collect some more items and climb back up to here when
it's clear.
Continue to the right while collecting some more items on the way. Drop down
when you reach the end of this platform. Bounce across the red bouncy balls to
continue onward while collecting some more items. Climb the next wall when you
reach it. Watch for the mallets at the top and collect all of the items on this
platform. If you got all four at the top of the test your strength meter you
should now have 53 items, we're halfway there.
Jump to the zool shield and items to the right. Collect all the items on the
ground and stand on the yellow platform for the test your strength meter. Wait
for the mallet to launch you up and jump to the jump boost to the right. Once
you have that, jump to the next platform to the upper right. If you didn't get
the jump boost, you can't make that jump but there will still be enough items
elsewhere. Collect all of the items here, including a 1 up, if you can reach it
and drop down to continue when ready.
Follow the path while killing the enemies in your way first. There are plenty
of items here and only one way to go through a small set of platforms. When you
reach a wall, grab the jump boost and jump to the higher platform to the right.
Bounce across the red bouncy balls while collecting the items here and killing
the mallets. Drop down on the other side and collect some more items here while
killing off the enemies. There should be plenty at this point to unlock the
large coin which will be on the next platform just to the right to complete
this level.
___________________
Area 4.2
___________________
Fall off the platform to the right and kill the balloon at the bottom. Pick up
the fish to the right before you drop down off the end of the platform. Just
continue following the path while killing enemies and collecting items along
the way. When you reach the lowest platform, the path with split. Go to the
left for a dead end to pick up a few more items before progressing to the
right. When you reach a wall, climb up it and jump to the platform to the left.
Collect the items here and go to the right at the top of the wall you just
climbed up to continue.
At the end of this path, jump up and go left. The path will split, take the
lower path first for a few more items. Now head back to where it split and use
the red bouncy ball to jump to the higher platform to the left. Collect the
items up here. Use the red bouncy balls to continue up the platforms while
killing all enemies and collecting items along the way. When you reach the top,
the path will split. Start by going to the left and collecting some more items
in this short path. When ready, head back to the split and continue to the
right.
Jump off the far right edge of this platform and collect the items to the
right. When this area is clear, drop down to the left. Kill the mallet to the
left and collect the items here. Follow this path to the right while collecting
all the items in your path. When you reach the path of red bouncy balls, look
at the circles on the platform below them. The third red circle from the left
is a platform you can drop through. Drop down and kill the enemies here while
you collect items and proceed to the right.
Climb the walls and kill enemies while collecting items until you reach the
wall on the far right side. Climb up the wall and jump to the platform to the
left. Run off the left side to land on another platform below you can't see
from this angle. Jump up the platforms while you move to the left for the large
coin at the end of this path to complete this level.
___________________
Area 4.3
___________________
Head to the right and kill the enemy right away. The path will split pretty
much immediately. Jump to the higher platform and follow this path while
collecting all the items. It's not very long but there's a total of 32 items in
this area to set you up to a very fast start for this level. Once you have them
all, head back to the beginning and fall off the platform where the path
splits. Follow the path to the right while killing enemies and collecting
items.
At the second test your strength meter, jump onto the wall above when you come
out from a small tunnel. Climb up here and collect the items in this path. Jump
back down to the ground and continue to the right while collecting more items.
When you reach the wall, climb up it and jump to the platform to the left. Move
to the left a bit and jump up to the next platform. The rest of this basic
level is really easy. Just follow the path to the right while collecting more
items and killing enemies in your path until you reach the large coin that
you'll unlock upon collecting 99 items.
___________________
Area 4.4
___________________
This boss is pretty annoying to deal with. It has two types of shots it takes.
One is a grapeshot that shoots forward and has a downward trajectory. The other
is a boxing glove that shoots straight to the left and then goes straight back
to the right when it reaches the edge of the screen to return to itself. Its
movements are it will start in the top right, shoot a grapeshot and quick
boxing glove. It will then slowly float down to the lower middle of the screen.
After a half a second it will shoot to the upper left and then come back down
to the lower right. It will fire another grapeshot before floating back to the
top middle and fire a boxing glove. It will then float back to the upper right
corner and repeat this pattern.
The trick is to quickly jump to the upper right platform. Quickly jump on its
head once it full appears and wait in the top right corner. Keep shooting left
so you can hit it with shots while it's in its highest position. You want to
jump on it when it shoots back to the upper right corner when it resets its
pattern but be careful because hitting it twice on the head is all you can seem
to do at a time. If you try to hit it three times without dropping to the
ground, you'll go through the top of its head and take damage. Just keep
repeating this process until it explodes to complete this boss battle.

Area 5.1
___________________
Start off by climbing the platform to the right. Kill the enemy and it'll
explode into two smaller enemies, destroy both. Collect the items here and
climb the platform for the next platform. The tank up here can't be destroyed
by shooting it, you have to jump on it. Destroy the tank and collect the items
here. Jump to the right so you don't land in the spikes and collect the items
here while killing the enemies off. Climb up the next wall with your 14 items
so far. Kill the enemies here while collecting some items and slide down the
slope. Go to the left when you hit the ground for a couple more items.
Head to the right and climb up the walls. Kill the floating enemies first to
get them out of your way and collect the items up here while you jump over the
spikes to progress to the right. Drop down the first pit you see. Follow the
path here and it'll split to the left. Take the upper path first and kill the
enemies while you collect the items here. When this area is clear, take the
lower path. Pick up the zool shield and just hurry while you collect all the
items without taking damage. You hsould have 92 items when you clear this lower
area. Just get out of here and head back to the top of the level when you're
ready.
Continue to the right while you slide down the slope. Kill an enemy at the
bottom of it and climb up the next slope. Jump off the platform and deal with
the enemies here. Continue to the right while avoiding the spikes and killing
off the enemies in your way. The large coin will be just a little further in
the upper right corner of this level.
___________________
Area 5.2
___________________
You will start with a slope and some floating enemies in front of you. Kill the
floating enemies while you jump up the slope to climb up. Slide down the next
slope and fall into the pit at the bottom. Kill the enemies down here while you
use the rope hanging from the ceiling to climb across the left path first to
avoid the spikes and collect all the items down here. Now climb across the rope
to the right while killing enemies and collecting items. When you reach the far
right wall, climb up the wall and climb the rope to the left. Follow this short
path for a couple 1 ups and more items. You should have 40 items in total so
far. Head back to the pit you dropped down earlier on and climb out of it.
Continue to the right while collecting items and killing enemies as you see
them. Climb up the wall at the end of this path. Keep an eye out for the
floating enemies along the way. At the top of the wall, fall down the first pit
and collect the items on the ground at the bottom. You should have 59 items in
total. Climb back out of the pit the same way you came in. Fall down the next
pit you see to the right and jump into the opening to the right. Start off by
heading to the left first and collecting the items here. Kill the little tank
when you can because you won't be able to kill it in the small tunnel to the
left. Make sure to get the nuts high above the two floating enemies here. Once
the left side is clear, head to the right. Follow the path while collecting all
the items safely and climb out of this pit area.
You should now have 90 total items. Head to the right and jump down. There are
still a lot of items down here so collect as many as you need while taking care
of the enemies as you need to. Once you have 99 total items, head back up the
tall wall that you jumped down from. Fall down the first pit you reach and head
to the far left. Climb up this column to reach the large coin to complete this
level.
___________________
Area 5.3
___________________
Climb across the rope on the ceiling while collecting the items. Kill the tank
and enemy on the other end. Fall down the platform to the right and climb along
the blocks while fighting off the enemies to safely collect the items. At the
end of this path, climb the wall, don't leave those items on the left side
while you're climbing too. You should now be a third of the way there with 32
total items so far. At the top, head to the left and follow this path for more
items. You'll have 51 total by the end of it. Head back to where you were when
the path split and begin heading to the right.
Kill the enemies in your way and fall into the first pit you reach. Follow this
path while killing off any enemies and collecting items you see. When you reach
the left wall, the path will split. Start off by taking the path to the upper
right for some more items. Now head back to that split and jump to the left for
some more items. Head back to the right and climb out of the pit to reach the
top platform in this level. Jump down to the right and collect the items as you
see them. Jump onto the rope when you reach it and climb to the far right.
Collect a few more items in this area. Once you get 99, go back to the rope and
drop straight down. Climb the wall just to the right here and fall into the
next pit for the large coin to proceed to the final boss.

Area 5.4
___________________
This boss will have a long pattern mixed with two types of attacks. The two
attacks are a fireball trio that just drop straight down and a shotgun blast
that shoots either downward and to the left or downward and to the right. The
blocks will protect you from the shotgun blasts but the fireball trios will
always drop in between the blocks. It will also move down and crush the
openings between the blocks too. The movement pattern it makes is a fireball
from the upper right, float to the upper left, a shotgun blast downward and to
the right, and then it crushes the left opening. After that set, it will drop
fireballs down the middle opening, float to the upper right, shoot a shotgun
blast to the lower left, and crush the right opening. It wil now drop fireballs
down the left opening, crush the middle opening, fire a shotgun blast to the
lower left then lower right when it floats above the middle opening and then
repeat itself when it reaches the upper right corner.
This boss is actually pretty easy but you'll have to be good at feeling the
movement controls without any visual cues. Jump onto the blocks and try to get
some spin attacks into the boss while avoiding its shots. Once it tries to
crush the left opening, jump on its head. You can keep bouncing on its head
dealing a lot of damage. There's no limit to the top of the screen so you can
keep dealing damage even when the boss is floating at the top. You just have to
know how much to move to stay bouncing on the boss. You'll likely fall off but
just jump on it next time it drops down to crush a spot. The repeated bounce
damage can kill this boss rather quickly and then you'll complete the game!

Bumble Bee
Area 1
___________________
This giant bee is the first boss you will come across in the game and has two
stages to deal with. It will first start in the top right corner, dip down to
the middle and float back to the upper left. If you simply start the battle by
running to the bottom right corner, you'll be safe from this and its next
attack where it floats back to the upper right while shooting three projectiles
that bounce to the left. Once it shoots its third projectile, run back to the
bottom left corner because it will come down to the bottom right. Stand in
between the two pink donuts on the far left on the ground to avoid its third
attack. It shoots two sets of four missiles that stay the height of the bee,
travel and then drop straight down. The spot in between the two far left pink
donuts will keep you safe. After it shoots those two sets of missiles, it will
stop in the middle of the screen and just hover there for a few seconds, now is
your chance to strike! Keep jumping over it back and forth and spin attack both
of its wings until they both break.
Once they're broken, it will enter its second stage of this battle. It will fly
to the upper right corner and wait for a second. It will then drop straight
down and quickly fly to the middle along the ground, then shoot back up into
the air. After a couple seconds of floating, it will drop down again and shoot
quickly to the bottom left corner. From there, it will shoot to the top right
corner and just repeat this process. In this second stage, your best strategy
is to just start in the bottom left corner. Get some shots in while it shoots
along the ground to its middle position. Now run to the bottom right corner
while it's safe. Shoot its back a little bit when it drops down to the ground
and moves to the bottom left. Once it flies back to the upper right, just head
back to the bottom left and repeat this process until it dies.
___________________
Evil Guitar
Area 2
___________________
The evil guitar will be the second boss you encounter. Unlike the first, it
only has one stage to it with the same pattern that reverses and then repeats
until you kill it. You will see it start in the middle of the screen, high in
the air. It will lower down to just above the spikes and then shoot missiles to
the upper left corner, which will then drop and cover the whole left platform.
It will then float to the right platform and then back up to the middle. From
there, it will shoot four quick shots to the left that will bounce to the left.
After those shots, it will make a quick movement towards the inside of the left
platform before floating back to the middle. It will then repeat this whole
pattern except in opposite directions (shooting to the right and flying to the
left.) It will continue this pattern until you kill it.
This boss actually has a very simple strategy but its hitbox can be a bit janky
at times which can make it tough. The strategy is to get as many shots in as
you can while standing opposite of where it shoots and jumping on its head when
it floats towards your side. So the first time it drops down to shoot, quickly
jump to the other side. Shoot it and jump after its shots land to bounce on its
head as many times as you can. Now just stay here and keep shooting it until it
drops down to the spikes again to change its shooting angle. Just keep
repeating this while landing as many shots as you can. The jumps to bounce on
its head are as much defensive as it is offensive which is a nice bonus and
it's the easiest way to deal with it. This boss does however have a lot of
health so it'll take a while to finish this boss off.

bottom. It then floats back up while shooting bullets and floats to the upper
left corner. It will repeat this pattern until it dies.
