We race through Asia in the second of three worlds in the game!
Splish Splash : B-1
The #00 Mean Machine's engine has broken down. Dick Dastardly sends Muttley out to find a new engine. Will he be able to find one in time.
The first section is on a series of islands. Frogs, moles, mosquitos...the wildlife is crawling around the island and wants you dead. The frogs and mosquitos are easy, but the moles can only be taken down when they stick their heads out of the ground. Those pink things are kangaroos, by the way. Yeah, it's pretty hard to tell when you pause the video. Those things just move back and forth. (Sheesh, the enemies in this game are easy.) Also, you can stand on top of the palm trees.
The second section takes place on a series of bridges. (Strangely, there are no cars nearby.) Giant orcas will try to headbutt you as you jump your way over gaps, but if you know where they are you can move back in mid-jump and then jump over the gap to make quick work of them. There are also birds that fly around and octopi that spit rocks at you (Octoroks in an Atlus game? What?) throughout this section as well.
Boss - #9 Turbo Terrific - Peter Perfect
Attack Peter Perfect from above with the bombs. When he jumps to the upper platform, jump over him. Keep doing this until the second form.
The second form is the same, except he's a little faster. Wait for him to stop for a brief moment before pummeling him with bombs. So much for perfection.
Splish Splash : B-2
The first section is just a simple swimming section. Just use the Control Pad to move around. If you don't press any buttons, Muttley will slowly float upwards by himself. There are numerous fish and crabs in the level, but if you use the bark attack here, they're all fair game. Watch out for all the spikes scattered throughout the section.
The second section takes place in a submarine. It's a little bit of a maze, but not too hard.
Boss - #3 Convert-a-Car - Professor Pat Pending
He'll bounce around for a while and then take to the air in an attempt to crush you. Thankfully, the crushing part gives you a perfect opportunity to attack him from afar.
For the second form, he'll leap to the center and fly in mid-air to shoot two red balls at you. He'll leap to the other side, leap back to the center and repeat. The best time to hit him is when he comes down. Sorry, Professor, but you're not helping the other racers this time.
Splish Splash : B-3
What is this? Some sort of big rock candy mountain?
Atlus must have really loved Asia, since this is full of gumdrops, lollipops and other assorted candies. All the enemies in the first section are bugs - cockroaches, dragonflies, worms, and pillbugs. The patterns for each one are nothing different from what you've seen throughout the game so far, so it's getting pretty easy pretty quickly.
The second part has checkerboard triangles and a bunch of flowers. The hornets here fly around slowly and divebomb you when you get close enough.
Boss - #5 Compact Pussycat - Penelope Pitstop
She's so awesome, she gets her own theme song when you fight her!
She jumps around and shoots balls at you. Strangely, she only has one form.
When you finish off Splish Splash, Muttley comes back...with a boat mast. Not surprisingly, Dick Dastardly and Muttley are still stuck in last place.
