Geez I can't begin to tell you how hard this game is. This game is a pretty hard game to finish. Although it has six stages. Most of the stages are very hard and unrelenting. This game is a Super Nintendo Game which all of you well know. I will break the stages up into segments that happen throughout the game and describe how and when you should kill the enemies or evade traps.
Stage 1 - The Volcano : Okay this is not a very hard stage, but can be annoying. Note : 1st player is Pimple, 2nd player is Rash, now that we have that down here it goes. Keep running to the right, there should be some pigs that come out of the door. Before you start just beating them down with "B" button you can finish them off by hitting the d-pad at which you face these enemies and hit B for a smash hit. These will just downright kill the bastards.
Keep going, avoid the moving land. It will crack and split apart showing you a promising demise. Quickly jump to the other side, or wait until it stops moving and jump. Either one will hopefully get you through. Somewhere across the game the side scrolling stops and fireballs come falling from the air. Either run around the parameter to avoid these nasty balls or try to anticipate where they go next and avoid by looking where they fall.
Watch out though after the volley of fires stop the platform furthest from you will fall. Quickly jump near the safe edge towards you. Cross the bridge quickly as it will burn and knock the pig that comes out with a "smash hit" before it knocks you into the lava.
Somewhere down the line you will have another door pop up with pigs, and they change color as they come out. Just smash hit them with Pimple's Boots, Ram horn or Rash's spike tail or spike boot.
Keep going and you will come across 2 walls that close you in. Watch out for another stupid volley of pigs as they will try to smash you. Quickly get out of the way. It would be good to try to keep your life still at 3 while all this is happening, maybe at least getting hit some, but try to avoid it if you can. Dispose of the dumb pigs and be on your merry way. Another volley of fires will happen again, but this time or (last time) the pit doesn't cave in. Use the * run around the parameter technique* again.
Keep going, avoid the pit by quickly jumping out of the way. Heads up because you will come across the boss of the volcano.
Stage 1 - Boss Fight : Stone Pig
This boss is easy, but annoying if you get hit. Immediately after you see the shadow move to you, RUN to the left side of the screen as near to the screen as possible. He'll land, but not smash you. After he lands keep hitting him off the screen. As he'll crack and recoil more to the opposite side as you hit. Once he's off the screen though. Run back to the opposite side as far as you can, he'll use the same maneuver to try and squish you, but he won't. Keep doing this until his head cracks off his body and he cries wee, wee, wee all the way home!
Stage 2 - The Tree Trunk
This stage is somewhat harder than the Volcano Stage due to the final cataclysm near the end of the level.
This is an automated vertical scrolling stage as you use hovering platforms to make your way downward. When you go down you will face some bees and Chain Dragons. When you meet the bees try to make as many hits as you can on one bee at a time as they will give you an extra life after several hits. * Make the best of this opportunity because it only happens a few times throughout the game.
When you come across the Dragon Chains try to knock them by going to the opposite side of the wall and holding that direction hit "B" and you will kick them off with the hover pod. After the sequence of Dragon Chains you will meet Cannonball Rats that fly from the sides of the trunk. Anticipate where they are and try to dodge the first three sequence of Cannon Rats.
Beware though there are more rats that will show up. They should all be easy to dodge except for the last two
rats.
Try to hold up and kick the spring hover pod and you will be able to (with a glitch) dodge the last two rats. There will be more Chain Dragons, and the way in which you kill them is up to you, but i would suggest to ping the pod of the wall instead of brawling them. It will save you energy, but still it is up to you.
Expect another volley of bees that come across, and rack up some more lives by chaining hits. Once you get a life on one, try chaining the next bee. It is hard to do, but will pay off for the next stage. Down from all the Cannonball fleeing Rats, Dragons, and wasps you will then advance to the spiked sides of the trees and whirring fans. Try to stay near the middle of the screen at all times while balancing yourself to avoid hitting the spikes. There are many spikes and fans which try to suck you in and out, but with some fast paced precision you'll be able to make it past. After that...
Comes the damn spiked cataclysm that blurs you spiraling downward. Here is the hard part. You have to zigzag your way in and out while going down 90 miles per hour to keep yourself from hitting the spikes that are so close together. The good part is this part is only worth 20 seconds of work. Try not to get hit, but you probably will at least once and lose a life. Zigzag quickly left and right to evade your way past. It will help to also stay at the direct top of the screen while doing all this and you will quickly be on your way. Now here comes....
Stage 3 - Rage Riding Bike Ride
Okay, I only know a select few people who have actually beaten this part. This part is hard for most folks without a LOT of practice. Most will run into walls, fall into pits, and rip their hair right from their skulls because this is the most frustrating and difficult part in the game. It is a heart racer beyond compare, but I'll try to break this part into segments though so that it will become much easier.
First of all you will need to know the layout of the track, it's a basic pattern, a really fast pattern with rewards if finished right.
Okay the first layout is two walls on separate sides. When they are long vertical walls move to the opposite side. When they are horizontal small walls jump over with the "Y" button, try to stay as far as possible to try to avoid casualties. Then you have ramps. There is one trick ramp in this level. The rest of them are legit to warn you ahead of time.
So now there are 4 ramps each on opposite sides, next is the horizontal ramp, another horizontal ramp and then 3 ramps. "Quickly jump over all of them".
Look for a ramp quickly after, but do not jump on it, let the ramp do the work, quickly shimmy left to the next ramp, right, then left again. When you hit the sand platform there will be not 1, but 2 wall on the upper part, 2 walls on the lower, 2 walls on the upper and 2 lower, quickly shimmy up and down those and hit the next check point.
This time I think you will find a series of ramps that you will have to hit to avoid the pits, do not jump over them. In fact when you hit the 2 ramps that intertwine each other (top and bottom) jump *THAT* one and you will go higher than normal. Try to land on the dirt sand. After that and here is where I warned you of the trick ramp. hit the first ramp. DODGE the SECOND ramp, hit down quickly. Do not hit it, you will land smack dab on the rock and be forced to start the checkpoint over. After that QUICKLY hit up again to jump across the 3rd set of ramps.
Now you will enter the phase where you will go in the pit. Jump in the pit, but do not worry; if you time your jumps quickly from the rocks that bulge from the pit you will do some extra jumps. After the sequence of rocks you will face some drones. Jump over all of the drones and the horizontal rock that blocks your path. You will hit a rock so you should jump. I do stand corrected though at the sequence of platforms you should jump over, there is another trick rock jump. When you see those rocks, do not jump; you will be smashed. After the checkpoint *YOU'D BETTER GET READY!*
This part is a heart racer, hair pulling, maddening part. If you thought everything you had to rush up to was hard enough. THINK AGAIN. This IS THE hardest part of the game. You will have to RUSH, and at blinding speed, rush through fucking 22 walls, 11 on one side and 11 on the other side. These walls come up and down one at a time, and you have to shimmy faster than you have shimmied before up and down, up and down. It will help to quietly count 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 as you go past with no breaks. You have NO breaks between these walls and the rate of these walls is FAST. Just keep shimming and luckily you'll get past. Congratulations, you have now beaten the hardest level of the game! Now go pat yourself on the back.
Level 4 - Snake Climb
This level is moderate. It is not easy, but it is not hard as the Bikes. In this level you will have to ride on snakes that turn at a 90 degree angle so that you can climb and reach other parts of the level. The first section is not hard, just keep riding the snake upward and when you see the two rocks, jump on those and wait for the snake to come by so that you can exit that hole, or you can do it the hard way and follow the snake, moving more instead of waiting for the snake to come by. Be careful not to fall, you only get one chance at climbing or you'll lose a life.
The second part you'll automatically ride the snake to a platform. Jump on the platform stop and wait for the snake to go straight up near your side. Now jump on the snake that will turn right. There will be two spikes near so watch out. You should jump over those spikes and land on the snake that is still sprawling in the hole. Quickly jump up because there will be a snake that will be above you going at a fast speed. You should watch out now because that same snake that's flying to the left while you are riding, has two spikes that are about to hit you. You should quickly watch out and jump over both, and you will head into the next area.
Now this area is a bit trickier than the other. As soon as you enter you will be riding upward and a SPIKE will be above you, but don't be afraid because there is another snake on the opposite side, red and orange. Jump on the opposite snake then jump to the next snake until you avoid 3 spike balls. You will then jump left across a spike ball, after wards beware of the spikes on the right by running to the left until you fall to the last snake below and duck under the two spikes. You will find out that the snakes are setting you on a course upward after on the course going right. Going upward the snakes well speed up a bit and will shoot 90 degrees upward then right 90 degrees. Take this opportunity to jump up and jump a second time and you should be going left to the next spot.
The icicle area is very tricky, but not all that hard. First the snake will shoot to the right quickly jump on the ice and let the ice slide you away from the spikes. This is the 1st time you will have to use that technique. The second time you will use it is RIGHT at the END of the LEVEL. So by the time that you are sliding climb upward and the snake well take you right with two spikes. Be careful of those spikes and make your merry way. Jump right away because the tail end will slip and you will fall off if you aren't careful. The next snake will slither up and left; quickly hop one after another until you make it to the left wall. Jump straight up again and the next snake will arrive. Jump on the snake and jump over the spike, and going right a spike will come in your path. Quickly jump over and duck over the next two spikes. A snake will appear below the snake you are standing on now. Try to wait for the snake to come out before you jump or you could miss the snake and be forced to start the segment over. No duck under the spike ball while the snake is heading west again. Jump on the BLUE snake to the right. Now this part is tricky one after another the spikes will be on opposite sides. Jump from side to side, but you must do it faster than those last spikes near the beginning of the 3rd segment of the level.
Now being this the forth segment once you are successful with that go right and ladder yourself down while tapping the left directional button. Try to stay there for about several seconds or until the snake's tail comes in and quickly go to the right.
Now remember when I told you there was another spot in the segment where you have to slide. THIS is the final part in this tricky level. Climb up the snake and go across as much as you can to slide, but you MUST beware of the spikes. Once you duck and slide into the hole. You can say goodbye to that snake hole.
Level 5 - Rat Saw Getaway
This level probably has to be the best level in the game. It has a killer sound track, not that the sound track is worth mentioning in the walk through and the game play is different in this level. The objective is to keep buzz the rat, who is on a chainsaw;from skinning your hide in a maniacal maze. You have to get across the entire maze without getting sawed or you will be forced to start the level ALL the way to the beginning. Despite you have enough lives.Knowing the entire maze helps as well, but Buzz is NOT slow. You can easily maneuver him on corners, but on a straightaway he's got you on that way. The best thing to do at the start just look at the brown lines instead of the outside board walks, and there are times when you cant always rely on boardwalks, just remember the brown lines.
At the beginning of the Getaway go right, up,right,down,right,up,right down,left,down and after a few more turn angles you will come across an exclamation mark. Try to dodge the obstacle by pressing down, but KEEP GOING. Buzz does not leave you room for air. You must be relentless, if all possible try to avoid him from hitting you. If you keep pressing down the direction he is not supposed to go you will be slower, so you must try not make mistakes in your controlling. a sharp press after you hit an angle will make your battle toad swerve that way faster too. There are also many pits in the area. Be sure to try and bypass those as well by jumping using the "Y" button. In the way of dodging you'll only need to jump and duck. Beware though that the last part of the level has a three stage where it makes it into a 3 long "]" which curve far horizontally and near vertically. So you must use the directional buttons straight. Do not accidentily hit the direction in which you are not supposed to surf.
The last part is kind of tricky but you should get across in no time. You must do a succession of jumps and ducks if you want to get across. The number in which you must do is 5 so it's not a lot of headache. I'm guessing but it might be duck, jump, duck, duck,jump. Once you made it out of there you will finally be at the last place in the game.
Level 6 - Race Scuzz, TNT him into Fuzz
This part of the game is pretty easy compared to what you had to deal with through the bikes and surf mode and we're not done yet. This level is actually the last level in the game, followed by a boss fight at the end. Evading stuff is easy enough, it's all the rat shit you have to deal with when you are racing scuzz the rat for dominance. You'll have to try to blow him up before he blows frog legs.
Starting off, you will land in the middle of the Evil Villain's castle. Start off by waiting for the stone wall drakes to stop shooting of fire, one platform going downward after another. Evade the bubbles in the castle as well. There should two gargoyle drakes nearby shooting 2 bubbles at once. Stand in the middle and wait for them to pop. Keep on going and Scuzz should pop out,
The trick to beating this level is the fact you must race down hill and blow up the TNT before he does, make a habit of hitting him back when you can and make sure you HIT him. If he runs down and you have to catch up to him, you're more than likely screwed.
Be below scuzz at all times, you can help make this happen by quickly falling in pits and try not to be on land as much.
Then when you get to the end of the walk with the TNT, make him RAT MEAT! hehe.
As you then keep going you will find those robot pods which you had probably seen in Level 2 of this game. Wait until they discharge electricity and strike them as you come down. You will find a hybrid of those same gargoyle walls that shoot arrows and bubbles. Duck under the arrows as they come out and be careful of the bubbles still. Now you should be progressing through rat race #2. Okay this rat is a bit trickier. Try to follow the steps I explained and as soon as he comes out, HIT him. It will give you a slight advantage and allow you to race him quicker downward because he gets knocked back. Scuzz usually just bumps into a wall anyways like most rats do.
All he is, is just dumb and retarded. Race down to the TNT and blow him to smithereens. Repeat for Rat Race #3 and your done with this level. Get prepared now because you're about to participate in the final showdown with the beautiful, but EVIL Queen herself.
Stage 6 - Final Boss : The Dark Queen
Ha ha ha this whore is a pushover; if you have enough lives. The two bonus levels should have given you more of a chance, but if all that you have been through to come to this was mainly a challenge. Think of this as a way to rape the princess you have come to a long time ago. Although she's not a princess, she's an evil queen.
Okay the trick to beating her is to maybe have 3 lives. Her attack pattern gets quicker is you hit her more and she becomes more aggressive. First off in the beginning of the fight she'll appear and shoot out a blue light. Yep that's her pattern. Every time she appears, tries to throw a blue light at you and disappears. Pretty pathetic huh? Well it is! As soon as she appears, jump over the light and knock her in the head with your fist. She'll reappear and do the same thing at a different spot. Dodge the blue light and knock her again. Her cowardly ass disappears again. She reappears from a distance, dodge the blue light and hit her again. The tricky part is, is that she will disappear faster each time you hit her so you must react quicker in not getting hit and landing a direct blow.
Several hits and the Queen's conquering days are over!
*SPOILER* - Mochikito and Rash are saved, but the Dark Queen is about to make her escape. Quick chase her through the battle copter! There is an alternate ending in which you can choose to let the Dark Queen go or shoot down her stupid UFO.
It is not required but the ending of the game is more amazing if you do shoot her copter instead of let her go. You have to land 3 hits before the UFO flies off. It is more like a mini game than a level and it's really not required. You get the same results. She gets beaten and you win the game. But if you choose to shoot down the UFO and you hit, you will get the special ending, nothing major like I said, but a cool sequence none the less.
