Area 1

Bonus Area 4

Bonus Area 7

Hit the red switches with your regular attacks in order to turn off the flames that block your path.

The mummies that fly around will attack you with their bandages. The short, stout guys that jump around will send inner tubes that move across the ground after you.

There is a bit of a maze here, but thankfully it's not as bad as the mine cart sections in the last stage.

The first of the two bonus areas to access is a joke. It contains just one lousy Hat icon. The second one requires finding blocks with the Magnifying Glass, but I'm too stupid to check.

Area 2

Another vertical section. You'll finally use the lantern here for the first time. You can see somewhat without it, but the lantern kills the short stout guys that are in your way in one shot if you've powered it up.

Area 3

Bonus Area 3

Bonus Area 8

The ceiling spikes will slowly ascend and descend. At least you can duck at the bottom of the area to keep the top of your head from being impaled.

The bonus area near the start contains a lonely extra life. Better than nothing.

Area 4

The boss is Dr. Claw riding a giant King Tutankhamen head. The Red Copter is your friend here, as you can use it to take down not only Dr. Claw but also the cat vase missiles he fires as he goes in and out of the screen. This will make it easier to jump from one moving platform to another as you take him down.

Gadgets and Power-ups

Grappling Hand: Lets you grab rings and other handholds above you.

Plungers: Fires sticky mini-plungers from your hat which can stick to walls. Use these to climb walls.

Blue Copter: Lets you glide in mid-air.

Red Copter: You can't fly with this copter, but you can send it upwards to attack enemies. You can guide it with Left and Right, but Gadget will move when you do this, so be careful.

Arrow: Fire arrows at enemies.

Bomb: Drop a bomb nearby. If the explosion hits an enemy, it'll do massive damage.

Lantern: Lets you light your way through dark areas. You can even throw the lantern on the ground and damage enemies with the flames!

Mini-Gadget: Sends out miniature Inspector Gadgets which will walk towards enemies

Question Mark: Drops an anvil.

Hats: Hats are your energy for your gadgets. Each icon gives you two hats.

Inspector Gadget Head: Extra life.

Inspector Gadget Suit: Extra hit. You can only have one extra hit at any given time.


Brain Icon: Increase the range of your regular attack. Your range goes back to the default minimum when you die.
