Kevin's alone again...but he has a whole city to himself this time! Unfortunately for him, so do Harry and Marv! They're out of jail and out and about in New York City, unbeknownst to Kevin!
RIP John Heard, who played Kevin's dad in the first two Home Alone movies.
A year after Home Alone, the McAllister family takes another vacation. Kevin makes it this time, but instead of heading to Miami, Kevin makes it to New York. It's...complicated.
The game begins in the middle of the movie, with Mr. Hector, the Plaza Hotel concierge, calling all the hotels saying that Kevin is using his dad's credit cards (just like in the movie). Meanwhile, Harry and Marv are out of jail and out to steal again. They're out for revenge.now that they know Kevin is in New York.
Level 1: Plaza Hotel, 12:30 PM
Leap onto the flower pot to the right and jump over Mr. Hector, who can insta-kill you. Jump into the light fixture above the trash can. You'll find a pigeon, which allows Kevin to spin jump and attack enemies as he does so. You'll be able to spin jump until you take damage. Like the last game, you'll be leaping into light fixtures to find stuff. Unlike the last game, however, you don't have to hold Up on the Control Pad...but you will be finding stuff out of what seems like thin air at times.
The first picture of the vase above a sofa contains a BB gun. Use it to stun human enemies.
Your main attack for defeating enemies is a slide. In order to perform it, press Down as you're running. Kevin will slide on his knees, and if he runs into enemies during this animation, it hurts them. This works for inanimate objects such as suitcases, travel bags and mops in buckets, but for human enemies you're going to need a more viable alternative such as the spin jump or a gun.
The one enemy you don't want to slide into is the vacuum cleaner. If you slide into it, the vacuum cleaner will suck you in and instantly kill you.
The first set of doors after the hotel entrance at the beginning is the gift shop. Kill the shopkeeper with the spin jump. then get the bazooka from the top shelf.
If you can get any coins, those will give you points.
You'll be seeing necklaces that you have to pick up throughout the level. These can be thrown forward and used as weapons, but the throwing range for them is absolutely horrible.
You'll have to avoid the woman with the umbrella (unless you have the spin jump), as well as the guy at the registration booth that throws bombs.
You'll be finding pizza slices throughout the game, and they seem to be in greater numbers here compared to the last game. Once again, collecting eight pizza slices will give you an extra life, and you can find a whole pizza to get an extra life instantly. You also have five hits before you die instead of three.
You'll make it to the elevator. Hit the elevator button with Up, and contend with sentient suitcases and other travel bags as you wait for the elevator. If the elevator button flashes, press it again to get the elevator to continue to come down. When the elevator comes down, you'll take a trip to the 11th floor. If there's a door sign on the doorknob, you can't open that. There's a pizza slice in Room 1122, and there's a room service guy that you can kill with the spin jump, but that's about it.
Go up a floor and enter Room 1221. Avoid the maid's pillow throwing attacks and get the bazooka, then get out.
Go up again and enter Room 1422. You'll find a gun in the upper-left corner above the bed. In 1424, you can find another bazooka.
Go up again. Use the BB gun on the old man in the grey coat (whom you've probably seen in the news store) to stun him temporarily, then get the two pizza slices from Room 1522 if you need to. (Watch out for the maid!)
Go up yet again. Enter 1621 and take out the maid with the spin jump to get the blue bottle. This blue bottle will make Kevin faster and invincible for a short time. Go all the way to the end and take the service elevator all the way down.
Go left, shoot the man in the grey coat with the BB gun, then immediately blast him with the bazooka until he falls. Spin jump the room service guy if you can, then use your slide to avoid the steam clouds as you pass by the dish-washing machine. Watch out for the dish washing lady that throws plates at you! From there, be careful for the pots and pans above you as some will fall down from above and try to hit you when you get close enough. You'll then meet the chefs cutting some meat. Slide under them after the piece of meat they chop falls down through the bottom of the screen.
You'll then meet the head chef himself. Avoid the meat cleaver he throws at you and slide into him until he dies. This only takes a few hits, but it's a tad easy to be hit at the beginning.
When you escape out of the hotel, you'll be caught by Harry and Marv. Unfortunately, Harry gets punched out by the woman to the right after Kevin slaps her ass and tells her Harry did it (which is shown in the movie and not in the game, for obvious reasons).
