This guide covers a complete beginning to end walkthrough for the aformented platformer, as well as an enemy list. Note that each stage walkthrough has a link to map of each stage, so if you are planning on downloading this document it might be handy to grab those at the same time via the following link - www.crazyreyn.com/faqs/Fire_and_Ice_Stage_Maps.zip For me personally, Fire & Ice is drenched in nostalgia; I remember playing this game quite a lot as a child, despite being so damn poor at it, only managing to get to Stage 7 (Castle McClean) before biting the dust. Saying that even now I am no better, and thanks to the wonders of emulation I can see to the very end of the game first hand, writing a guide as I go. I hope you enjoy the game has much as I have, and that this guide helps you put this game to rest like I have.

WALKTHROUGH ------------------ =============================================================================== A few hints and tips before we begin. -------- Controls -------- Left, right - Move Coyote Up - Jump Button 1 - Fire Freezing Pellet Hold Button 1 - Release special move -------------- Hints and Tips -------------- - Killing enemies gives you Key Parts. When six of these are collected you form a key which can be used on the key hole to reach the next stage. - If you cannot find any more Key Parts, revisit earlier parts of the stage for enemy respawns for more parts. Check everywhere, even for flying enemies, and you'll get them all eventually. - Clouds can be powered up by firing balls at them. They get darker and darker until they give out snow powerfuls. However any more and they'll thunder, which kill! - You can take one kill before dying, and lives are not easy to come by, so really watch where you are going! - Pouch is a puppy that, to a degree, mimics your actions. He will move when you move, pellet when you pellet, and can kill enemies instantly by touch. He only appears rarely (mainly at the start of stages) but in certain parts, such as the Hidden Section of the Temple, he will become a great help in passing an enemy filled corridor. - You recieve random powerups, especially from orbs, which give you abilities such as showering pellets in front of you, and creating an ice field so any enemies you touch freeze instantly. Hold Fire to activate the next powerup. - Several levels contain warps to other stages, or even hidden ones. They are described in the walkthrough as you come to them and are on the stage maps, otherwise just reach the Keyhole to continue straight on to the next stage. - A list of enemies in each world can be seen toward the end of the guide. - I have created maps for each and every stage, which can all be downloaded in this zip file - -------------- 2.01. Ice Pole -------------- STAGE 1 - PACK THEM BAGS ------------------------ Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51136 Before we begin, the aim of each stage is to get Six Key Parts to access the Key Hole to the next stage. Killing enemies gives you Key Parts (randomally) so kill every enemy you come across until you get all the parts. Once you have them, find the Key Hole to exit. Run right and leap over the two penguins, then up the hill. Jump the snowballs and down the next hill, being sure to leap the penguin. Defeat all of these enemies until you reach the end of the cave, where there is a button on the far right; press it to create ledges leading up. Watch out for the Eskimo that snowballs as you reach the top, and head left. On the edge of this platform is the KEY HOLE. Head up the platforms here and kill the enemies on the right, then leap up to the top. There is a button at the edge to create a bridge to the left. Head over and kill the penguins and collect the coins around you. Navigate past all the spike balls by leaping over each section until you reach the end platform, where you'll get a 1-Up Bone. Now drop down below, and off the left to start at the beginning. By now you should have all the Key Parts, so head to the Key Hole to finish. STAGE 2 - GREEN RUN ------------------- Warps - Stage 4 Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51137 Defeat the enemies around you and go up the platforms, where you'll get a 1-Up Bone at the top. Fire in the air to the right to reveil a block that you can leap from to get the line of coins on the right. At the bottom there are enemies all across to the right. You'll come to a ledge that a skiier comes off; after that run right and keep firing as you go up the bank to hit all the skiiers as you go. At the top take out all the enemies and a set of platforms will appear on your left if you fire across. If you want to WARP TO STAGE FOUR then jump and fire to reveal a block; stand on top and look right and fire to reveal another block, stand on that and fire left for another etc until there are no more (four or five blocks up). Now stand on that and jump up to warp away! At the other side, take the enemies out one by one whilst looking out above to reach a switch at the end. Take the platforms up, then up the ledges and drop down and collect the coins. Run across right to find the KEYHOLE. Don't stand at the edge as you'll slide off, and wait for a seagull to come from the right before going across via the platform. Kill the Eskimos and Seagulls here. You should have all the Key Parts now, so return back left and exit. STAGE 3 - GLACIER CAVERN ------------------------ Warp - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51138 Simply run right and tap Fire, killing the enemies as you go. Stop at the end bank so the snowballs rest at the bottom, then Fire as you go up to get the skiiers. Jump left onto the ledge and defeat the enemies, then once more walk left across and vanquish the enemies. At the end press the button and go up the platforms; go up a few steps then wait for snowballs and Seagull poo to land above your head, then go up and waste 'em. Head right to reach two paths; take the lower and go across right to the very end platform. There are various enemies on this route that'll have Key Parts. Go back to the split and fire in the air to reveal a hidden block to get to the upper level. Go across right until you reach the KEYHOLE. STAGE 4 - BLACK RUN ------------------- Warps - Hidden Ice Stage Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51139 Take out the Seagulls and slide down the hill, drop down then slide left. Stop before the bottom and clear the enemies down here and on the upper platforms. Go back right up the bank and take out the Skiiers on the summit, then down the other side. Kill the bird and drop down, go left into the cave and shoot the hidden platform under left side to get the goodies above. Go right to the next cavern and clear out the enemies here. If you fancy going using the HIDDEN ICE STAGE WARP go right to the end and fire in the air to find a block; climb on top then jump to warp. Head out and shoot in the air outside the cavern to reveal a block. Head up and go up the bank. This is tricky so listen up; hammer the Fire button to clear the Skiiers and keep moving after the second so you avoid the Seagull poo but STOP to avoid the snowballs that fall from above. Leap them and start tackling the Yeti. Stand at a distance so you can leap his snowballs, and another he takes a while he is pretty tame. The KEYHOLE is behind him. HIDDEN ICE STAGE ---------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - N/A Slide down the bank and stop at the bottom, and clear the enemies. Go right and approach the waters and wait for the Whale to submerge. When he emerges jump on the water sprout and wait for it to go up slightly, giving you the height to leap onto the above platform. Tackle the penguin and drop down the two platforms to a group of penguins. Lay waste to them and go right to another Whale, again waiting for it to come up to the surface fresh so you can have a proper stab at getting above. The platform has a button that activates platforms going up, but drop down right to get a 1-Up Bone (use the platforms to get up again). Go right and clear the cavern area, then across the left bridge via the ground switch. Go left and clear the enemies, watching out for the snowballs from above, and the shards of ice that emerge from the ground. At the far end press the switch and climb on the single block and wait for the above enemies to clear away before jumping up and clearing them. Leap the spike balls and shards of ice, press the button for a bridge and clear the end Yeti (stand your distance and fire away so you can dodge his projectles) to find the KEYHOLE. You'll begin at Stage Five. ------------ 2.02. Castle ------------ STAGE 5 - WHIT A BRAW DAY ------------------------- Warps - Stage 6 Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51140 Clear the enemies just here and continue past the tree. Critters come out of this tree, so watch your back as you continue right up the bank. The Shield enemy here cannot be tackled from the front, so just leap over and attack from behind. More Shield enemies and a Thundercloud await you at the summit. Continue to the gap and leap over to find a Key Part by the tree, along with various enemies to destroy at your pleasure. The KEYHOLE is off to the right, and if you have cleared all the enemies then you should have it all. However if you need more enemies, or spoils, then follow below. Go back to the gap and drop down to the platform inside, and work your way left to the ground. Go across right and clear the enemies until the end. There is a gap here, which is you drop down is a WARP POINT TO STAGE 6. Over the gap is a button in the corner that creates blocks up to the above ledge. Up here jump on the right side into the midair switch to create a means to escape the cavern back up left and outside. Fancy some more? Head back left to the Thundercloud for new platforms to take you to the upper area. Here you can pan left and right to get a range of goodies. When you are done, don't forget the Keyhole is on the extreme right edge on the surface. STAGE 6 - THE MOAT ------------------ Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51141 Ice the Shield from behind and head down the bank, ignoring the upper route for now. Under the spoils there is a column of hidden platforms. Continue right down the passage and clear the enemies as you go to reach a door with a chest next to it. The chest gives out loads of points, and the door has an Archer from it's window which needs to be taken out. Once done here, head back out to the split, take a run up the hill and jump across to the upper route. Head past the tree to the upper part of the hill. Try and leap over the Shield enemies whilst avoiding the Critters from the tree you just past, so you defeat the Shield enemies in order to try and get some Key Parts. In this Moat area, wait until the nearest Crocodile has open it's mouth then leap across them to the other side. Fire as you land to clear the enemies, as well as the Archer in the door, to hopefully get all the Key Parts. The KEYHOLE is here. STAGE 7 - CASTLE MACLEAN ------------------------ Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51142 Fire straight away to get the Drip on the floor and wait for the fireplace to explode before moving onward and leaping past the Shield. Kill him and the one after, as well as the Archers in the door before reaching the edge of the pit. There are hidden blocks going across to the right. You can just above make them out in the stone, however in case you cannot see them check the above map or the following ASCII art - X ---- X X X X X X X ---- From the right ledge, the blocks will appear and disappear in the parallel spaces in the wall going across the left. Leap on the block as it appears, then across to the next as it appears and so on until you reach the far side. Smash Fire to get rid of the enemies, and beware of the Archer that'll snipe at your feet just off the screen left. Continue to the blocks, watch out for the Drips here that come from above and clear the Spiders on the left side. Climb the blocks and take out the Archers either side. On the left side, find the hidden block and jump up from it to get a 1-Up Bone from above. Continue right over the gaps and past easy to tackle enemies until you reach the pit again, with a swinging platform to get upon. Wait until it swings right, wait a second, then leap high just out; you should land on it no problem but if you timed it wrong, hopefully you can fall back on to the ledge in time. Go onto the platform in the centre then drop down to the next swinging platform and drop off at the end. Go crazy with Firing to ice the bunnies that run across, and clear the other enemies to (hopefully) get all the Key Parts. The KEYHOLE is right here. STAGE 8 - RAMPART ROMP ---------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51143 Immediately jump left to avoid the Drip and lay waste to the enemies here. Take your time progressing right, as you'll need to leap Shield enemies and avoid Archers from above at the same time. Once you have cleared the enemies here, ignore the gap and go back to where you begin and fire at the space on the left for hidden blocks. Take these up to the roof and go right across until you reach platforms to the other building. The KEYHOLE is on this turret. Chances are you'll need some more Key Parts, so go right and drop down the bottom area for some on the ground and Archers in the window. To get back up use the Switch in the bottom right corner of the stage to reveal platforms that go up. You'll warp to the next part of the stage. Take out the Archer and the right bunny then head down the bank to the water, where you'll find... Nessie! Land on the middle part of each platform to avoid the spines either side. Each time you land, wait to see if a bird appears, and for fish ahead to jump out before continuing. At the end leap onto the floating platform and go right to the end. Get the 1-Up Bone and quickly activate the switch and head up the platforms before the Critters emerge from the tree. Go from platform to platform left until you reach the KEYHOLE. Chances are you won't have enough Key Parts - if you leap off and hold left, you'll see a line of coins which you can follow safely onto the Nessies back. Now go back right across the back shooting the fish until you get the parts you need. ---------------- 2.03. Underwater ---------------- STAGE 9 - DEEP BREATH --------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51239 Take out the enemies in front of you and make your way down the bank. Stop at the green slime on the straight part of land and fire a few pellets in front of you to get the crab on the platform. Stand on it, drop down right then left and drop down left into the tunnel going left. There is just a few enemies and collectables to get here. Go right along the bottom until you reach platforms; on the lowest one is a bubble blower which creates bubbles for you to ride up on. Step off after the first platform to avoid hitting above enemies, and make your way right and up the ledge. If you want collectables, go left and leap across to near the start. There are blowers either side of the gap, however their bubbles burst very quickly. Leap over the gap and drop down here to find a 1-Up Bone underneath the platform. Drop down left onto the platform; go right to find a small cove with treasures and enemies, and a hidden block in the middle. To finish, go right through the tunnel - you can walk through the rock walls. Fire pellets ahead of you to ensure no enemies remain behind the walls, to come to the KEYHOLE on top of the end platform. STAGE 10 - A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE ----------------------------------- Warps - Hidden Underwater Stage 1 Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51240 Make your way out of this cove and go up the platforms, then go left across the ground. There are hidden blocks here leading up however you won't need them as you can just go left and use the platforms there (which has collectables and enemies you might want to exploit). Make your way across the top until you have to drop down - drop down to the very bottom to where you came out of the cove again, then go right. Make your way along the bottom until you come to a gap at the end, with ledges above back left. If you take the platforms up then left you'll come to a cluster of platforms, which stars in a circle above them. Jumping into them will WARP TO HIDDEN UNDERWATER STAGE 1. Otherwise, go to the end and drop down, defeat the enemies here to find the KEYHOLE. If you need more keyparts then use the bubble blower at the end to return back up. STAGE 11 - CAVE OF GOOD FORTUNE ------------------------------- Warps - Hidden Underwater Stage 2 Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51241 As soon as you drop down, fire pellets to take out the advancing fish. Drop down the cliff and right until you reach a gap. Drop down this hear hole and go left down the passage and use the bouncy clam on the platform to go up (press Up as you land on it until you get high enough). Defeat the enemies and the teleport is on the left side, which is a WARP TO HIDDEN UNDERWATER STAGE 2. Use it, otherwise go back via the clam and use the platform to go up. Continue right and drop down the gap to the bottom, where in this cove area right are half a dozen enemies and various collectables. Once done, use the bubble blower back left to head back to the top, where there are various platforms are above. Get the collectables, and if you want to reach the far platform right, wait on the ledge for a turtle to ride across. In the far right corner is the KEYHOLE. STAGE 12 - TUNNEL OUT --------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51242 Drop down right and continue to the gap. Don't go down as you'll make your way round there shortly; jump over and defeat the enemies and leap on the platform. Jump up to get a 1-Up Bone. Go back left, past the platforms until you reach the end where there is a platform over a gap. Use it to get up the top, for enemies and collectables. Go back and drop down past that platform. Drop down left to the corner and clear all the enemies, as well as the hidden block above the ledge, and use the clam on the platform to go back up and scale the jagged sides to get back up. Go right and take the twisting tunnel until the end, where there is a platform. Do not go right just yet and drop down below and clear this area. There is an Orb Generator on the right so max out your orbs and return back up to that platform and leap right. As you step into the slime area the Eel will immerge and fire smaller fish. Go CRAZY with pellets and orbs so it takes out the fish and hits him. Hop back and forth, spamming pellets until he is dead - he is pretty tough! If you need a life then go up from that platform, right and leap on the ledge to get a 1-Up Bone. When he is defeated you'll get a Keypart and the KEYHOLE is behind him. HIDDEN UNDERWATER STAGE 1 ------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - N/A You'll get all the Keyparts as you start. Go right down the platforms, then back left across the bottom and kill all the enemies here around the gap. If you drop down there are areas to the left and right where you can get various collectables, otherwise just hop over left and go to the end of the tunnel to go to STAGE 10. HIDDEN UNDERWATER STAGE 2 ------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - N/A Drop down the passage below and go left, up the clam and kill the enemies in the closed off left area. Go right to the platform. There are two paths with two teleports to use; at the end left is a teleport to STAGE 12, and right is one to STAGE 11. --------------------------- 2.04. Rainforest and Temple --------------------------- STAGE 13 - RAIN FOREST RUMBLE ----------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/51243 Go right and fire pellets at the Archer from behind. At the fly trap wait for the villagers in the background to throw bombs either side of it, then extinguish the fires with pellets before continuing. Stand under the first ledge and spam pellets to defeat the oncoming rat and falling bug, then stand on the stone plinth to be taken across the fly trap pit. You need to stand on either handle and leap when it lowers down to avoid the snaps. At the other side, there are a few more spears and enemies around the ledge ahead. There are a lot of enemies, especially archers, around the fly trap so stay back then pellet ahead. The KEYHOLE is at the end here. If you need Keyparts, then go back to the tree for some bugs, and back again for more archers. STAGE 14 - THE MECHANICAL WONDER -------------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52806 Note - Rocks will plummet down when the screen shacks, so stay alert and dodge them as they fall. Take out the parrot on the stone plinth, and fire ahead to clear some of the archers. Jump the gap quickly to avoid the flames from the background, and stand on top of the next stone plinth. Kill the caterpiller that drops on the right, as well as the cats that run across the bottom. Note that there are other enemies here that appear randomally in different playthroughs, so watch yourself. Next up is a bridge with a parrot and two villagers. Your pellets will destroy the bridge, so watch your fire and at the other side is a boss, the 'Mechanical Wonder'. It has two parts you must destroy - the head and tail. From the front, attack the head and wait for it to jump. When it lands it will spit fireballs that ignite on the ground. Once they head is done for, wait for another leap and run underneath to the otherside and attack the tail. Arrows will randomally shoot out of the back, so keep your distance and get ready to jump up whenever one comes you way. Once that is done, the wonder collapses and villagers stream out. They will fire arrows when they jump, so stay down when they do, but otherwise keep spamming pellets at the torso of the beast until it disappears. From all the villagers you should have enough key parts to use the KEYHOLE at the end. STAGE 15 - INSIDE THE TEMPLE ---------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52807 Take out the lone villager and the subsequent pogo monkeys. Another villager will drop from the bird, and continue to the gap. Jump on the platform and leap up when it rises to get added height to land on the left roof for a collection of goodies. Return back to the gap, leap over and take out the villagers. Wait for the platform to gain enough momentum and jump on the left side and quickly into the central platform, as it dips into the drink and will kill you. Kill the ground pihrana and drop down the ledge on the right side. You'll land on a platform that will take you back up so you can leap right, clear the villagers and collect the 1-Up Bone. Drop back down and head left, waiting at the side of the pool. When the platform comes, WAIT for it to stop, drop and come back up again before riding it across. Kill the bats and pogo monkeys, continue left, kill more bats and drop down through the ground. Quickly freeze the left villager and get up the raise section. Turn right and keep firing pellets; villagers and a Shaman will appear, of whom will summon more Villagers, but as long as you keep pelleting away then they'll break up automatically until he is on his own. Head right to the ledge where there are two revolving platforms. Land on the nearest one, take out the bat and wait for the sound of a flamethrower, and as soon as it goes, when the platform swings left hold left to drop off and onto the ledge. Move out of the way of the flamethrower and kill the Shaman. Pass the next flamethrower and use the lever to reveal a key in the tomb on the right. Collect it, and to get back up press the lever and leap onto the platform the spring up. Return back to those revolving platforms and go across right to another platform over spikes; land on the left side, then as it drops jump across and land again on the right when it comes back up. Drop down the ledge to be teleported to the boss. BOSS: TEMPLE BEAST This first part is fine if you keep your distance. Stay on the left side at all times, either on the ground in level with that first platform to avoid all flames that spirt at you. He has a pattern of one two break, one two break, so between breaks jump up and right and fire pellets and return. It does not matter if none hit, or just one or two, but keep at it and his neck will disappear. Left are two flame stalks, which require the exact same strategy to defeat. When one is gone it will only spirt once, which should speed up the process some. With the main body of the beast, there requires a specific pattern in order to dodge the projectiles easily. The diagram below shows the platforms positioned. Stand on 3 and fire at the beast - your pellets might miss a little but as long as you start hitting thats ok. As soon as he fires, jump back onto platform 1 and when the upper most flame comes down, jump over it and land on platform 3. Repeat. It takes a while getting used to, and if you are playing this via emulation then it could help, but keep trying until he is toast. 1 4 3 2 When he is defeated, a platform will appear above. Head up and slay the pogo monkeys on the right ledge for the KEY (well, all the parts in one). Use the little nudges on the left side to get up the teleporter. You'll return at the bottom of the pit, underneath the two revolving platforms from earlier, on steps that sink. Quickly leap from one to the other to the left side, past the flame throwers and use the lever to activate the platform up. Make your way across the platforms until you come to the pit, however this time it is bridged up. Defeat the Villagers to some platforms with more Villagers on. Jump up and defeat the Ground Pirahna, then drop down left and use the right platforms to make your way up - landing on one will make the other rise, so alternate between the two to make your way up. At the top is the KEYHOLE, which ends this horrible horrible level. Well done! STAGE 16 - BOULDERS ------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52808 Take out the enemies hopping down the stairs and climb up. At the top, wait for enemies above to clear and leap over across the platforms to the right, fire pellets to reveal hidden platforms and climb up on to the right side of the above platform to avoid the flamethrower. Jump left, clear the enemies to the end and use the switch to create platforms going up. Before that, drop down left and hold left to reach a platform below the below level (it'll make sense) and shoot right for a hidden block. There is a KEY PART hidden in here. They are a ton of enemies on this level as well, which you can kill if you want a chance for key parts, but my playthrough yielded none. Drop down and return back up to that switch, clear the roof, then onto that flamethrower platform in the centre, and jump right. Jump over each flamethrower and across the drink, clearing the enemies opposite. Use the bouncing platform over the lava, or the hidden platforms on the right to get up to the top, where there are a range of enemies to scour for key parts. Drop back down and drop down right when the flamethrower is not active, drop left (but on the right side to avoid the Shaman) then down again to the bottom. Head left over the platforms and move enemies to reach hanging boulders. When they just start going up go across to under the second, and as it falls jump up left so the boulders go down then up, and land when it is clear again. At the left platform jump up to make it bounce and press jump again when its rising to get some height. Land ON TOP of the boulder aside you, then leap up to the KEYHOLE in the air. STAGE 17 - SO MANY WAYS TO GO ----------------------------- Warps - Hidden Temple Stage Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52809 Clear the enemies and leap over the flamethrower into the tomb. Stand on the platform when the spikes are not present, clear the bats and leap onto the ledge in from of the Shaman. He will not attack and instead rebound a laser that enters from the right. When it comes across leap up over it, then as you land pellet away. Repeat until he is dead to create platforms leading out of the tomb. Ignore the second and third tombs to the end, where there will be a dead end with a 1-Up Bone and Snake. Grab the bone and drop down the third tomb you just passed. Kill all the enemies in here; there are a lot, but if you have powerups it'll make your job a lot easier. Doing so should net you pretty much all the key parts, so it is worth attempting. Run into the right lever four times to create platforms to lead out, and enter the second (middle) tomb you missed. In here is a snake; stand on the ledge and jump and land every time he fires a projectile, throwing pellets right as you go until he is done for. Stand where he was located to drop down below. Clear the enemies to the left; if you want a teleport to HIDDEN TEMPLE STAGE then go all the way until the floor drops, then head down. The walkthrough is below, but considering it just takes you back to the end of this corridor anyway, it is up to you whether you want to take it. Me? I'd rather not risk my skin. Go all the the way right to the end platforms, bounce up the top and use the KEYHOLE to go to STAGE 18. HIDDEN TEMPLE STAGE ------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52809 Hold left as your fall to find a bonus block in a niche in the wall, then drop down to the bottom and kill the Pogo Monkeys either side. Go right, taking out enemies as you go, use the platform to get up the ledge and onto the above track. Go left and jump into the Minecart, and pellet the left lever to get going. Ride the cart until it bounces off the far wall, and quickly leap out and land right to safety, and a 1-Up Bone. Wait for the track to regenerate, drop down and use the right lever three times to create platforms up. Head left and clear the enemies below, and use the Pooch above to pellet and walk into the enemies above to clear the path ahead. Enter the doorway at the top to return back to Stage 17. -------------------- 2.05. Floating Isles -------------------- STAGE 18 - COLLECT BONUSES -------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52810 Woohoo! As a reward for getting far in such a tough, tough adventure, you are treated to a lush stage of floating isles, zany creates and a plethera of bonuses to match. Collect as much as you want; there is a 1-Up Bone at the very top right of the stage, and a warp to a second bonus area on the right side below that. In that stage or this one, if you fall down to the ground you will progress to the final stage - 19. Eep! ------------ 2.06. Desert ------------ STAGE 19 - FINAL CONFLICT ------------------------- Warps - N/A Stage Map - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/amiga/file/575510/52811 Take out the travellers you come across, and at the platforms there are Moles that appear from the ground - just speed across to the far end and drop down. Go left - the mummies here are quick to freeze but thaw just as quick, so run into them when you have the chance. At the drop, you can either go down and past the flame (run underneath the ball) or over the top, either way you'll come to the same drop down point. Run under the flamer and drop down, and move right so a mole appears. Jump with it and freeze it in midair to stop it throwing fireballs, and quickly leg it down the passage before more appear. Up the platforms and past the flame whip, grab powerups from the orbs either side. Bypass the next flame whip and drop down to face the final boss! FINAL BOSS Wait until he appears in one of the two chairs. When he does, stand on the opposite one - you will hurt him if you pellet his head, so leap out slightly and fire pellets to reach him. When his arm stretches out he'll fire a flame at you which will bounce from the wall. The best strategy is to wait on the chair for him to raise his arm, leap over the flame (firing pellets) and when you land, jump once more to avoid the flame that bounces off, get back on the chair and repeat. The only problem is the bouncing flame, but if you time it should clear it everytime. After enough hits he'll turn into a floating flame. Three words - OH. MY. GOSH. This is freaking *HARD*. He seems to be floating around randomally and striking you, but there is a pattern to his madness. On every third rotation he will advance toward you. Stand level with the right chair and stand still, watching him rotate. On the third, as you hear the sound, leap up so he goes underneath you and guide yourself down so you don't hit the tail or the head again as it comes back round, and repeat. It is really, really difficult and if you are playing on the Amiga this will be near impossible - on an emulator with save states, it was approaching unbearable. Spam pellets constantly, and if you feel brave do little jumps as he rotates to hit him with a pellet or two, and face him as he goes underneath to pellet him on the flip side. When he hopefully bites the dust (I really hope you don't get game over at this point!) then enjoy the ending, and quite franky batcrap crazy finishing level! Congratulations! =============================================================================== ----------------- 3. ENEMY LIST ----------------- =============================================================================== -------- Ice Pole -------- HEDGEHOGS - They take a while to freeze but thankfully move pretty slow. Due to their height keep your distance so your pellets don't go straight over 'em. PENGUIN - They walk really slow and take only a few pellets to freeze, so shouldn't be too much of a problem. They only get the in way when they are placed in annoying spots or in groups, but as long as no other enemies are around just take your time and freeze them. SEAGULLS - Take a single pellet to drop but you need to leap up to do so. You'll need to watch out for them pooing on you, and without being trying to be too crude, you can see them turtlehead a second or two before they drop their payload. Stay away until they crap, then go in for the kill. SKIIERS - Annoying blighters. Only take a single pellet to freeze but more stupidly fast, usually down hills. On every incline spam Fire so any oncoming Skiiers are got. If you leap over one, then you can chase them back left if you want to see if they have a Key Part (otherwise return back there later to see if there is a respawn). WALRUS - They slide around then stop every so often. Catch them on the off and freeze them with a few pellets. They are pretty rare and don't cause much hassle, thankfully. YETI - Only featuring on the end of Stage 4 and the Hidden Stage, these guys are quite simple foes that take a while to freeze. Keep your distance, watch out for the snowfalls they produce (run away and leap over the snow balls) and watch out for their snowballs. When he is standing there just spam fire until he drops. ------ Castle ------ ARCHERS - Appearing out of doors and walls, they pop out a bow and fire an arrow. Wait until they fire an arrow and retreat, then freeze them quickly when they reappear. Most of them appear above your height so don't cause much of a problem. BIRDS - Seagull lite. They don't poo and don't really dive toward you, the only harm they cause is if you accidently jump into them. Kill them for Key Parts however. BUNNIES - Very fast yet easy to take down, just have quick reactions before they run into you. You should see them coming, but always aware of their apparence. CRITTERS - These appear out of withered old trees in the out door stages. They cannot be killed so just leap over them as they run toward you. Every time you see a tree, just watch your back for these guys. DRIPS - These are quick and tiny, and cause problems. If you see one leap it and turn around and freeze them. Due to their size you need to keep your distance with pellets, but just keep cool and try your upmost to avoid them. FISH - Only appearing in Stage 8, they jump out of the water. They can be froze with a single pellet and give out Key Parts, so just freeze them in the air and they'll smash in the water. If there is a Part, it'll float toward you. MICE - These guys just wonder around and don't attack, and take a small handful of pellets to dispose. Only a hassle when they get in the way with other enemies. SHIELDS - These have shields on their front that block pellets. They turn around at platform edges, and can be leaped, so do either and a single pellet with freeze them. SPIDERS - These are slow and leap toward you. Just stand in front of them and spam pellets. They don't even leap that far so you don't need to be that far away to be safe, not to mention pretty rare to boot. ---------- Underwater ---------- BOUNCERS - These hop toward your location, and take about three pellets to freeze. Keep your distance and watch your head if there are ledges above you, as they follow you around! CLAMS - Again not enemies but items to bounce you up. Press Jump as you land on it for it to spring you upward. CRABS - Annoying as they are quite small, so fire pellets at them from a slight distance. They are often behind walls in passages, so pellet ahead to ensure you don't bump into any. EEL - This guy is a nightmare. Appearing only in Stage 12, he guards the Key hole. Stepping onto the slime makes him appear, so lure him out and spam pellets and Orbs. He will spit out tiny fishes which can be pelleted, hopefully by the spamming you are doing. Chances are you'll lose a life here, but just keep pelleting and dodging until you defeat him. GUPPIES - Swim around aimlessly, just get in front of them and a couple of pellets will see them off. SHELLS - These bounce in the water across without any real aim. Get behind them and freeze them. If one is advancing toward you, then get out of the way as their size for freezing and avoiding is too tricky to get right in most circumstances. STARIES - Kinda starfish in shape but have a snorkel, these are fairly quick enemies that follow you when they see you, otherwise just bounce along. They stop and start, so when they are stopping leap toward them and freeze before they can get moving again. TURTLES - Actually not enemies, but can be rode to far sides of the screen. If you want an easy way to get from one side of the stage to another then this is it! --------------------- Rainforest and Temple --------------------- ARCHERS - Appearing out of the background, they pop out a bow and fire an arrow. Wait until they fire an arrow and retreat, then freeze them quickly when they reappear. Note that they appear randomally either side of you, so always be on the lookout. BATS - Winged creatures that fly linearly toward you, often in groups. Jump up and pellet as you rise then fall to hopefully clear them in one jump. They'll drop and smash as soon as they freeze, making these rather simple enemies as long as you catch them in time. CATERPILLERS - These drop from platforms and scurry across the ground. Aim to freeze them as they fall, otherwise chase them and freeze them. CATS - These sprint across the stage - either freeze them from a distance, as they are running toward you, otherwise jump over them and give chase, firing pellets as you go. GROUND PIRANA - Hard to see, they are Pac-Man looking semi-circles on the ground that spirt pellets. As per usual, keep away and fire until it is frozen. MECHANICAL WONDER - The boss of stage two, it has two parts you must destroy - the head and tail. From the front, attack the head and wait for it to jump. When it lands it will spit fireballs that ignite on the ground. Once they head is done for, wait for another leap and run underneath to the otherside and attack the tail. Arrows will randomally shoot out of the back, so keep your distance and get ready to jump up whenever one comes you way. Once that is done, the wonder collapses and villagers stream out. They will fire arrows when they jump, so stay down when they do, but otherwise keep spamming pellets at the torso of the beast until it disappears. PARROTS - Sitting there and do not do much, the only real harm is when you run into them. POGO MONKEY - These slowly bounce toward you, often in pairs. From a distance pellet them until they are icey dust. They will rarely creep up on you. SHAMAN - These can create Villagers from out of thin area. If you come across these take him out as soon as possible. If he is already in a group, or if you leave it so long as there are a huddle of villagers around him, find some high ground and pellet away until they automatically break and that he is on his own, ready for popping. SNAKE - Only making an appearance in Stage 17, stand at head height and jump between every projectile and spam pellets at the same time. Each projectile fired is rather routine, so just get into a pattern until he is done for. VILLAGERS - These walk around and fire arrows. Wait until they fire an arrow, leap and spam pellets until they freeze. Smash away. -------------- Floating Isles -------------- N/A ------ Desert ------ FLAMERS - These are bouncing balls that transform into humanoid figures every so often. You can run underneath their bounces, otherwise keep back until it transforms and pellet away. IMP - These are flying creatres that travel toward you, stopping occasionally to shoot a fireball toward you. Spot them early and a couple of pellets will see them crashing to the ground. MOLES - These shoot out of the ground and send fireballs around - as soon as you see them appear, just leg it past their holes. MUMMIES - Like smaller versions of Travellers, these are quick to freeze but thaw just as quickly. Run into them when you have the chance. Note that they spawn rather quickly as well, so clear them as they appear in order to avoid getting overwhelmed. TRAVELLERS - These just move back and forth - keep a distance and hit 'em with around six pellets each the freeze. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------ 5.
