PrinceWatercress plays Gremlins 2: The New Batch for NES - Part 5 of 5

Just one...and done. The sole normal stage is challenging compared to the boss. But once you're through it, you've won this one.

Stage 5-1

With the fire arrow, you shoot only one arrow. When it hits something when powered-up, it explodes. The explosion can also destroy anything in the vicinity.

The first part of this level is jumping from conveyor belt to conveyor belt. After this, you'll see a few long conveyor belts. Time your jumps carefully; if you fall, you'll be sent back to the beginning of the conveyor belt you were on. If you have a balloon, though (which lets you fly around for a second after falling into a pit), you can skip through this. There's a hand after that last one, so be ready to fire.

After this, there is lava. Again. Some sort of checkerboard from Hades, if you ask me. Following this, there will be a platform moving horizontally around a bottomless pit, with four electric barriers throughout its path. Jump onto it so that you land on it when it's between two of the barriers, then immediately jump over the rest of the pit.

Continue on, and you'll see Master Wing's shop. This is the final shop in the game, so pick your last item wisely.

The last obstacle course in the game is more conveyor belt platforms, followed by another field of lava and then one more moving platform which thankfully is the easiest one in this level. The end of the area takes you to a computer. Congratulations! You've made it to the final boss!

Stage 5-2

Oh, dear god, it's the spider-like Centaur that Mohawk changed into. This boss battle may bring back (not so) fond memories of Fester's Quest due to the black background.

Hit the body with the fire arrows. The shots he throws are easy to avoid, but his charge attack is quite fast. If he waits longer than usual, position yourself so that you'll be between two of the legs (preferably not directly in front of his body). This helps to minimize unnecessary damage.

When he catches on fire, you've won! Enjoy the credits!

The End

Billy releases the electric Gremlin by taking the phone off hold and holding it so that the electric Gremlin finally comes out on top of all the other Gremlins. The other Gremlins are already wet (which happened in the movie), so this leads to electrocuting them all and turning them into slime.

Billy is now able to move on happily with Kate (now his fianceé) and Gizmo.
