HalfBlindGamer plays Castle of Illusion for Genesis/Mega Drive - Part 3 of 5


We go through a nice, short level in order to obtain the Yellow Gem...


Level 3: The Storm


Music is pretty good here. Feels more like a stop-gap level, though. Nevertheless, it's pretty fun.

Drop down the first pit and go through the left wall. You'll find a bag of marbles as well as some white gems. From there, go up and follow the main path.

The bridges will fall away when you land on them, as well as some of the platforms on the pit walls. The fish will jump out of the water to dive into you.

After a while, you'll have to swim in water in some of the pits in order to make your way to the end of the first section.

For the second section, you're in some sort of temple. Make your way to the right end of the temple, and avoid the waterfalls so you don't get knocked into the bottomless pit. Take your time with the platforms, as some of them are just big enough for you to stand on.

In the third section, you'll have to deal with water that rises and sinks every so often. You do not want to fall into it, as the water will eat away at your health. Just time your movement so that you can trek to the right when the water starts sinking.

The boss is an ancient statue that shoots out fish men. When the fish men jump out, hit them with a marble to send them flying into the statue, destroying whatever is at the bottom and lowering the head of the statue. Once you defeat the statue head, you'll get the Yellow Gem.
