TheMaskedCobbler plays The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy - Part 6 of 7

We cross the sea and make our way through an anachronistic Stone Age version of China. Why? I don't know.

Underwater


In this stage, you'll be dealing with rather easy underwater enemies while jumping from one bubble to another.

It should be noted that just like in the Mega Man series, this stage has some interesting gravity. You jump a little higher than usual, and because of that you can make some interesting long jumps that wouldn't be possible anywhere else in the game.

This stage can be laggy in some spots, so keep that in mind.

China


Could this level be any more stereotypical?

Seriously, there are kung fu men, guys jumping around with poles, jumping parasols, and knife throwers. There's also a lot of pits with bamboo spikes around here as well...which every Asian-themed stage I've ever seen has.

The second section brings a man with a cart. Whack the guy carrying it, then use it to get some speed and launch off the ramp to make your way onto a wooden ship. Make your way past all the ships (and the ice-spitting snail that makes a return appearance from the ice stage) and you'll fight a sumo dinosaur.

This dinosaur will spit a fireball every few hops, so whack this guy twice before stepping away and ducking underneath that flame. He'll also do a sumo stomp that freezes you in place for a second and he'll also attack you with his tail. Using powered-up club shots can help, as will the exploding dinosaur egg. If you need to get behind him (or throw axes from above), jump onto the bell at the top and do what you need to do from there.


After getting the last Time Machine part, you'll transport to Dr. Butler's world in the 30th century. Get ready!
