Welp, the moment we've waited for has arrived! We see a whole bunch of birds, hunt down the ignition key and get out of this awful zoo!
The enemies you'll see at the start - the grenadier bird, the vultures and the flying squirrel - are either indestructible or easy to avoid. Go ahead and avoid them.
You'll see a springboard at the end. Leap off of it and you'll take to the skies on a butterfly, which makes it officially known that this game has completely stopped making sense.
Aside from the enemies you've seen, you'll also see missiles, eagles with jetfighter helmets, hummingbirds, and that stupid dog in a man-made flying machine that looks like a bird. If you expected this to be a horizontal shmup and get better from here, you're sadly mistaken: you have to avoid everything. Bonus style points if you can time everything so that the grenadier birds hit an enemy with their bombs.
The music here sounds like it could have been made for a Konami game. The only thing is, if Konami actually composed it, it'd sound far better than this.
After a few more missile salvos, you'll finally face off against Mean Eugene in his helicopter. You'll have to time it so that the grenadier bird drops a bomb on you, only for you to fly away and have it land on Mean Eugene's helicopter instead. Avoid both Eugene and the missiles he shoots at you, and time the grenadier bird bomb drops right, and you should be fine. After you get the ignition key, you'll beat the game. I'd tell you that you did it, as always, but even then the ending leaves a lingering feeling of "Oh, Jesus Christ, why did I play this?" long after you get kicked back to the title screen.
Good show, amigo!
You are one righteous guide.
Like, my bike is ready to trip a ride on the wild side.
Four Corners Zoo can eat my dust.
Now it's Hip City or bust
Like this adventure has only one equal.
Look for me in Hip City, USA ... the sequel!
...and yet you still can't proofread whatever it is you try to tell me, game. That's too bad. But there really is a sequel, and we'll check it out in due time! Stay tuned!
