Today, we learn that DeceasedCrab is a jerk that traps cats in laundry rooms and that this level has lots of extra lives. We will need them all.
Village
Map (by RyuMaster)
The four switches with the lion statues in front of them are a little harder than they look. Small fireballs will come out of the mouths of the lion statues, which makes it easier to lose a life in this room.
The thin green pirates with the swords not only take two hits with Max, they can also throw their swords, which makes them particularly nasty. The fat purple pirates can kick the stone squares, making them just as dangerous! The fat green pirates can roll into a ball, causing them to go much faster than when they walk
If you use a hookshot on a hook, the hookshot will change into a rope bridge and will be removed from your inventory, leaving you to look for another hookshot. Thankfully, using it in this fashion will let you reach previously inaccessible areas, power-ups and (eventually) another hookshot, so it's pretty useful.
The brown squares with the skull heads are explosives. When you kick one, the green light at the top starts flashing. It will eventually go to yellow and then to red, flashing faster as it changes colors. When it hits red, it's about to explode. As long as you're not right up next to one when that happens, you're safe.
One of the puzzle rooms has two of the purple pirates. It's kinda hard to do with one person unless you can luck out and take them down with the stone squares without screwing up the entire puzzle. If you have a friend, though, you can have one person stall them with a hookshot while the other person solves it.
Walking into pits equals instant death.
The switch in the rope bridge room is next to the door. Hit it with a hookshot to open the door.
To beat the boss, avoid his torches and hit him with a barrel. Avoid his flame breath as well. If you're close to his side, he'll come at you and flail that torch around. When you use the first four barrels, two islanders will come out and throw barrels into the room...so keep your hands held up!
When you've hit him ten times, you've done it.
Items
The bell distracts enemies and sends them towards you. Unless you're playing two-player mode, it's pretty much useless.
The hookshot not only stuns enemies, it also lets you grab items from far away. This is (usually) the best item for one person to have in a co-op game. You can also use them as a bridge between hooks, but if you do, you'll lose the hookshot and you'll have to find another one.
The shovel lets you dig in the dirt for hidden items. You can only dig left and right.
The plank lets you walk over pits on wooden docks.
The silver key opens the silver locks.
The gold key opens the gold locks.
