Once again, we're at the point of no return when it comes to the game's difficulty!

Chapter 9: Dances With Woolies

(continued)

You know that area where you have to deal with both the cow skull spikes on the floor and the spike things that stare at you from the ceiling that you can't destroy normally? Well, if you make to the left wall, you'll get a 2-Up. That's not all, folks! Go to the platform before that wall and you'll be able to enter the ceiling. You'll get the path to the yarn ball crate as well as the entrance to the bonus area.

The boss here is an actual flying saucer. It's grey with a green yarn ball for a visor. It moves back and forth in a half-circle, and holding the glide button down to stay on top of it is anything but easy. This thing spawns Woolies in space helmets, and if you fall to the bottom, you'll have the extraterrestrials to contend with.

It takes four hits to kill this thing, and if there's any Woolies onscreen afterward, you'll have to kill them, too.

Major, major bug here which I have had the pleasure of never actually getting. If one of the Woolies walk off-screen, it won't come back, and you'll have to wait for the timer to run out before you can start the boss battle over at the expense of a life. Sucky, I know.

Congratulations. You're about to tackle something even more taxing...the river stages.
