PrinceWatercress plays Cheesy - Part 5 of 6


The game just doesn't let up. How I managed to beat this game is beyond me.

The next level is at the grate near where you entered the last level. Go down there to start the fifth level!

The first section is another underground tunnel section. This one is just like the other one, but there are new spiky enemies that follow from behind (which refuses to die) as well as narrow platforms in bottomless pits that crumble if you don't leap to the other side the moment you land on them. At this part, the game gets much harder.

But wait, there's more! The second section is first-person mine cart riding action, and it doesn't get any easier. As a matter of fact, this section makes the first one from earlier in the game look easy in comparison, as both your reflexes and your level memorization skills are put to the test...and the worst part is, this isn't the last of these sort of sections!

The third section is another platforming section where you have to outrun fire...again. The fern fronds are platforms, and they are more visible than the regular platforms that BLEND IN WITH THE BACKGROUND. Great job, developers! Also, you may have to use the fire as a means of skipping over parts. I know I did!

You'll then get a cutscene followed by a fourth section full of more platforming. Slime bubbles that rise out of the slime can be used as a way to get to other platforms, and green spiked creatures with one-eye stick to the background wall and refuse to die. Interestingly, you have to wait at a couple of spots full of slime for bubbles to rise up, and you leap on them in a pattern similarly to some of the hoverboard spin jumps you had to make in Super Back to the Future Part II.

When you make it to the end, you'll have to fight a slime boss. Stay in the center and keep aiming in random directions. When you manage to see the boss, hit him a few times, and avoid the red projectiles it spews. Be ready to switch platforms if you have to. There are four of these slime monsters in all, and you have to kill them all to move on. Thankfully, killing just one of them makes the boss battle easier. Killing all four of them gives you a cutscene where Cheesy finds a handful of sentient slime on his shoe for the teleport spell. You'll also get another password: AGINCOURT6.
