ClementJ64 plays Home Alone for Super Nintendo - Part 2 of 3

Time to collect some more valuables...

Level 2 (continued)

If Marv walks onto tacks, he dies. Genius.

When you reach the basement, you'll have to avoid spiders. The spiders that are in the air are controlled by your jumps. The more you jump, the more they'll go up and down, making them easier to avoid if they're packed somewhat close to other spiders that are on the ground.

You'll then fight the first boss of the game: a giant spider that's just a Mode 7-enlarged version of the ones we've just dodged. Jump into the brick in the center of the room to get it to fall. If it hits the spider, it will take damage. The more damage the spider takes, the faster it goes. Thankfully, the spider congregates mostly in the middle of the room.

Level 3

Now you have to pick up electronics to clear the level. There are 35 items to pick up, but you can carry up to ten items at once this time around. How you're able to do that with a backpack when you're picking up TVs and alarm clock radios, I have no idea.

In about two spots in the level, you can find an entire pizza. If you pick it up, you'll get an extra life. One of them is in a bedroom drawer, the other is in the bathroom toilet. What.

In one room, there are five light switches on the wall. You can turn them on with the water gun, and if you turn them all one, you'll get three free valuables.

When you enter the basement, you'll have to deal with ghosts. Most of them will keep going up and reappear under the floor when the reach the top of the screen. Walk under those. Near the end, there will be ghosts low to the ground that will hop up and down. You'll want to jump over the hopping ghosts.

The boss here is a leaping ghosts. Fighting this boss is just like fighting the spider, except the ghost just bounces around in even more predictable patterns and its speed never changes.

Level 4

Now you're rescuing pets and small animals. Some of them will be in the air, so you'd better be ready to pick up animals in mid-air. You'll be rescuing frogs, dogs, cats, birds and even tiny lizards that climb on the background walls. Just like last time, you can carry up to ten animals.

The drawer to the far left at the start contains the BB gun. This thing is even more powerful than the slingshot. It's the most powerful gun in the game, but the big drawback is that the gun is slow to fire.
