TheMaskedCobbler plays The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy - Part 4 of 7

YOU CAN'T SKIP THE REST OF THESE STAGES

Jungle


A lot of the enemies and obstacles that you see here are from the first stage.

Be careful on the log and pterodactyl platforms, as they'll lower as soon as you stand on them.

The pink staircase dinosaur has a hidden secret in its mouth. Hit its beak with the club to find a barrel. Inside it is a 1-up. Be careful coming out, as he can bite you when his mouth closes.

The plants try to spit at you, the sabre-toothed tiger slowly crawl by, and the snakes try to stick their heads out in an attempt to bite at you. Thankfully, they're pretty easy.

You'll meet Barney, who tells you to hit the coconuts back at the boss before he walks away. Strangely, he looks interesting as a brunette instead of a blond. Thanks, NES graphical limitations.

If you have a Gazoo power-up, you can jump high and to the left of where you met Barney and refill all your health.

The platforms that swing back and forth are attached to...nothing, apparently. Thankfully, you can grab onto them and then climb up them to take a ride on them. Nice.

You'll then see a giant dinosaur claw. Just like in the Flintstones TV show intro, you can jump on top of it and slide off it, going straight across the pit before you land. Awesome!

The boss here is a sasquatch. Just avoid him as he jumps around, and hit the coconuts that fall from the sky back at him. If you have the exploding dinosaur egg weapon, use that, too. Thankfully, it's really easy not to get trapped in the corner when you know when towards and away from him, so you can whack him while he just stands there.

You now have another Time Machine piece as well as Barney in your party.

Basketball



Either TheMaskedCobbler is rusty, or this guy is harder than the other two. Score whatever baskets you can and try to run out the clock. Best strategy I can think of to keep this guy from scoring, at least for a little while.
