...and here we are again. Love the music, but this can be a confusing level if you don't know what to do.
Stage 2: Monkey Pits
The music here is great. The level itself is not.
Like congrats.After that awesome showing,you best keep on going. Let's give Mean Eugene fits and ditch him in the monkey pits. Swing from vine to vine and grab the sunglasses this
Yeah, it doesn't even finish the sentence like it should. We also have lack of spacing between punctuation and the beginning of new sentences save for one case in the entire message. It's like whoever developed this didn't even try.
To swing on a rope, simply hold the B button and then use Left and Right on the Control Pad to swing back and forth, then let go when you're facing the direction you want to go. If you run into a tree during a vine swing, you'll crash into it like George of the Jungle. This is yet another example of something that has been done better by other games. If you let go of the B button, you let go of the rope. That's strike one right there. You have to rock the D-Pad left and right to swing. Going back to Mickey Mania: remember the chandeliers at the beginning of the final level? That was better than this. Three, once you've swung far enough like a pendulum on crack, letting go of the B button lets you catapult yourself into the air. This almost makes the first strike both forgivable and removable, but once again, this was done better in Donkey Kong Country. You could even better control your jump. Strike three. Oh, and the fact that Chester wears a Tarzan-like robe does not, repeat, does not make this any more enjoyable.
You'll have to find the sneakers again in order to dash. Whenever you beat a level, you lose whatever power-ups you had in your possession when you enter the next.
The coins will be clustered around in the shape of arrows to point out where you should go next. This should hopefully keep you from getting lost.
You can climb on the vines by jumping into them, then using Up and Down on the Control Pad to grab on. Use Up and Down again to climb the vine.
The hedgehogs roll around like a buzzsaw when they see you and can be jumped on. The wolves with silverware look like they can't be killed by any other means than the guitar, but you can actually jump on them to kill them. They do have a slight hop forward that they'll use if they see you, so watch out. The kangaroos with boxing gloves can shoot out small, sparkly purple stars that will instantly kill you. Even if you're hit, you have no invincibility until you hit the ground, so you can be hit multiple times in the air and get killed in two seconds even with a full health bar. The kangaroo can also punch the trees and cause bugs to fall from the top of the screen, which can damage you to the touch.
The little purple guys that hang on the sides of the trees hurt you if you touch them. This is honestly one of the most bull-crap moves I've seen a game pull in my life, since they don't do anything and look like they're part of the scenery.
You'll come across a monkey when you explore the ground level of this stage. You will need to find the monkey to get the motorcycle part for this stage, which in this case is the seat and frame. When you approach it with the monkey, the monkey will automatically climb up the tree and pull it down. Amazingly, even if you off-screen him, he doesn't seem to have much trouble keeping up.
Down-Left and Down-Right on the D-Pad lets Chester crawl when held.
You can jump into the vines to climb them, but you're better off jumping straight up and using the Control Pad along with it in order to climb up faster, as Chester's climbing ability is unbelievably slow. You'll still have to hold Up on the D-Pad near the top to keep from hitting your head on the bottom of the tree branches.
When you make it close to the end, the monkey will automatically climb up the tree and get the scooter part. Unless you have the monkey, you'll have to go all the way back to the bottom of the level and look for him. Once you have the scooter part, you can go to the right and get out of here. (The part here is the frame. Thanks for asking.)
The skateboard, if you can grab it, will allow you to enter the bonus stage.
Bonus Stage
For the bonus stage, you'll have to collect all 100 paw icons while avoiding the dogs on the steamrollers. Running into a steamroller will cause you to lose three paw icons. Jump carefully! If you pick them all up, you'll get a point bonus at the end, but not much else.
