In this entry, SlimKirby finishes up World 4 and the Professor is officially kidnapped again.
If you hit B on the stage select screen, you can see your best times for each stage and also see if you've collected the gold gem for that stage or not. As long as the average of all the times below is at an A rank, you can still get the 53rd gold gem.
4-8: Moley Cow!!
It's another mini-boss battle, and this time, you're fighting a mole.
To damage the mole, you have to grab it and throw it to the ground. It will lay on its back, and if you jump repeatedly on its stomach while it is lying down, there is a chance you can get the gold gem here. When he gets up, if you stay close, you can grab the mole and throw it before it fully gets back up.
The mole will leap up, swipes it claws forward and then dig into the ground. When it comes out in a random location, it will throw a rock out as it peeks its head out of the ground. You have to get in front of the mole, grab it and throw it forward so it hits the ground.
If you can trap the mole into the corner, you can keep grabbing the mole and throw it into the wall to ensure it lands on the floor and takes damage.
When you deal enough damage, the mole will keep moving forward, swiping its claws at you as it does, then run into the wall and explode, ending the battle.
4-9: Aster's Maze!
For this stage, you're in a maze. You need to find Sasquatch Beta at the bottom.
Interestingly, there are two maps for the two sections: the green one on the left and the red one on the right. You obviously want to reach the bottom-most room on the left in the red section to complete this level. To do that, you'll have to use the warp gate.
At the start, drop down as soon as you can and go to the right. Grab the warp star in Green 3. This will take you to Red 4. From here, grab the warp star again, or else you'll be going around in circles.
You'll be at Green 6. The Clancer to the left of Ms. Hint tells you that if you appear in Red 1, Red 4 or Green 8, you'll need to re-enter the gates that are there. Drop down and head right to Green 7. You'll be at Red 2. Grab the warp star there when you re-appear; you'll be at Green 4.
From Green 4, head to the right, but don't enter the warp gate! Instead, shake the Clancer there to get the gold gem. This guy will tell you that Red 1 takes you to Red 7 (and from here, you can reach Red 8) From here, drop down and go left to Green 5.
You'll be in Red 1! Grab the warp star there to go to Red 7, then grab the warp star there to go to Green 8. Grab the warp star there, and you'll be in Red 8! Talk to the Clancer, go right and drop down! You've beaten the maze!
4-10: SASQUATCH Beta
Once again, you must go without taking damage the whole battle to get the gold gem.
At the beginning of this battle, stay far away the cannon and keep flying to the right so the turret doesn't hit you from here. From here, take the rocks that Tarus produces and throw them back at him. When the turret is about to fire again (you will know from the target that shows up), fly up to the cannon and grab it, then keep shaking it upwards. When the turret fires, hold Up and Right and press B to jump off the cannon and boost to the right. The tank will damage itself.
After a while, Tarus' tank will turn into a walking mech. When it kicks at you, grab the foot, shake downwards, then slam the machine into Tarus by shaking upwards to launch the machine upwards and shaking downwards while in mid-air as soon as possible to slam it into Tarus. You have to time it right so that the tank lands on Tarus before he has a chance to get up. When you do this enough times, Tarus will finally fall.
After this level, it's time to destroy the Empire. You'll also get a hint telling you to use the Control Stick (which does nothing in this game, strangely, so why is this hint here?).
After this, you'll get a cutscene in the floating house where Marina tells Professor Theo not to get himself kidnapped. Not surprisingly, she sees a Clancer pull out a panel in the ceiling and spy on them. As she chases after them, Marzen 64 shows up, and alows Professor Theo to kidnap him. When Marina returns, she finds out that Professor Theo has been kidnapped again.
Meanwhile, the Monolith - who is the Emperor - tasks Merco with the Professor, but Merco wants to destroy Marina, much to the chagrin of the Emperor. After Merco leaves, Calina announces that Theo has indeed been kidnapped, much to the Emperor's delight.
