Svenshinhan plays Taz Mania (SNES) - Act 3

The difficulty ramps up in this game really quickly. Get ready!

Act 3

Desert Dessert

The puddles of mud work like the puddles of water.

The cacti are one of the few pieces of scenery that cannot be destroyed with the tornado attack. You were warned.

The bushrats make their proper, non-bonus level debut here.

Speaking of debuts, this is the first level where you'll meet the neurotic Wendal T. Wolf. This guy latches on to Taz for friendship and doesn't let go. As a result - his fingers cover up much of the screen. To shake him off and regain 20/20 vision, use your tornado attack (or get hit). You'll shake him off, but be prepared to meet him again...and soon.

You'll have to keep an eye on the sides, too. The red-haired kid with the bow and arrow is Francis X. Bushlad, an aboriginal boy hunter (with white skin, strangely) who tries to hunt down Taz in order to become a man. (It's a tribal thing.) When he shoots the arrow at you, be prepared to jump. You can't destroy him, so just avoid his attacks.

Bull and Axl attack in a rather interesting way. They move past you, and after a few seconds, they come towards you and try to catch you with their net. If that happens, it's a game over unless you break free with the tornado attack. If you hit them with the tornado attack, though, you can get rid of hem and get a bunch of points out of it.

New power-up here: the spring shoes. They make you a little faster but they also allow you to jump higher.

Crazy Canyons

The road is really, really narrow here, so you'd better be careful if you're trying to dodge stuff.

The oil slicks slide you into the side of the road, while the potholes make you waste a few seconds if you fall into them.

If Didgeri Dingo gives you a clock out of that box, grab it. You'll get an extra 30 seconds on your time.

Bull and Axl also start throwing bear traps out to damage you in this level.

Wendal Woods

This one gets pretty hard because of the terrain and all of the traps involved.

Using the tornado spin can keep the pterodactyl from grabbing you on hills.

Bonus Battle: Bird Bath

This one has nothing but the blue birds flying around in the air, so keep running forward and jump and grab. Getting the birds is pretty easy, which makes for good self-competition when it comes to seeing exactly how many of them you can get.
