PrinceWatercress plays Cool Spot (GEN/MD) - Part 2 of 6

Can I just take a moment to state that the pajama mice are the most endearing enemies in this game? Thanks.

Off The Wall

You'll need 60% coolness to reveal the cage and complete the stage. Be careful when shooting around the cage to take out enemies; you may accidentally hit the lock and end the level.

Aside from spiders on the ceiling, mice in pajamas that throw cheese, you'll also have to avoid mouse traps that will send you flying, barbed wire, nails in the floor, thumbtacks...and the level itself! The level itself is a bit of a maze, and while there are hands pointing you where to go, you'll have to look all around if you want to be 100% cool.

The mouse traps will send you flying backwards if you jump onto the trigger tab.

If you can stand behind a metal pipe, jump straight up when behind it. You'll probably find a hidden spot.

As long as a mouse in pajamas is not on-screen, they cannot throw cheese at you.

At this point in the game, I have my first of a few time overs; in case you run out of time, you will lose a life, but you'll go back to your last checkpoint with full time and all enemies previously defeated gone for good.

Wading Around

You'll need 60% coolness to reveal the cage and complete the stage.

You'll start in a wading pool. The water will serve as a bottomless pits, and lily pads, toy boats and rubber ducks will act as platforms. Be ready to shoot down the frogs so they don't spit at you.When it's time to make your way up, you'll have your proper introduction to the smaller bubbles, which take you upwards. When Cool Spot starts fighting his way out from inside of the bubble, you won't have much time left and you'll have to land on a platform. Using the Control Pad while in the bubble will allow you to get to areas you wouldn't be able to reach otherwise, however so keep that in mind.

Once you're out of the pool, you'll have to jump quickly off UFO platforms to avoid being dumped back into the wading pool, and you'll have to jump around on rocket ships to avoid sliding off of them. The blimps are the safest platforms; you can rest on those. The one enemy you'll see once you're out of the pool are the model airplanes that will try to drop bombs on you. Destroy them with your projectiles as quickly as possible. At this point, the only real problem you're going to have is keeping track of where you've been and which direction you're supposed to go where, but as long as you're able to go upwards, you're good.
