The music is much better for the desert levels this time around.
Chapter 7: The Good, The Bad and the Woolies
"Well, it worked for Clint."
Well, the blue yarn balls look blue this time. Also, the Woolies wear Conductor Hats.
Welcome to the Canyon area! Here, the three levels are split off into two sections. First, there's the train, where you have to make it all the way to the front of the car, hit the switch and stop the train. You'll then enter the canyon and make your way to the goal from there.
Explore each car carefully as you explore. There'll be some extra pick-ups and yarn balls for those who scour the trains closely enough.
The horny toads are indestructible. Don't even jump on them, as they'll pop Bubsy like a safety pin.
The crates of dynamites rocket you up into the air when you jump on them. They're one use only, so don't mess up as you grab everything up above! Don't forget to glide on the way down!
The regular crates can be pushed just by walking into them to make jumping over thumbtacks and other obstacles easier.
Almost forgot...you can't land on the tracks, so if you fall in between the cars, you're going to go down a bottomless pit.
The giraffes cannot be defeated, but if you jump on their heads, you'll be able to jump a little higher and collect some yarn balls.
Yes, those things on the top of the steel gray train car are spikes.
Before you stop the train, head to the very front of the train for some extra enemies, yarn balls and a yarn ball crate.
When you trigger the switch to the train, you'll jump off the train and enter the canyon.
The Woolies wear pith helmets here.
The canyon areas are even more dangerous than the train levels for the extremely careless. There are prairie dogs with guns that jump around, spikes with faces that wait for you to get close, cow skulls and cacti that act like the thumbtacks.
The Grumbleweeds just tumble to the right, and they can hit you easily if you're not paying attention. They're pretty easy to take out, though.
The slopes underground act like the water slides in the Village.
Later in the stage, you'll see boulders rolling up and down the half-pipe like sections of the canyon. Stand on the platforms in the center and stay out of their way.
You may have noticed this before, but whenever you save your progress with an Exclamation Point, you also save how much time you had left.
The diligent player can find 900+ yarn balls in a single chapter in the three Canyon levels.
