We head to the future in our quest for more orbs and even see a cool new power-up while we're there.
Metropolis
Love the robots' voices for this one.
This stage is like Breeze Harbor and Zephyr, as it has that rare interconnection with another level. In this case, it's Robotica Farms. The animals you didn't see over there are causing a ruckus, going so far as to pilfer from the Metropolis armory and take over. You'll be dealing with cows shooting at you from behind metal shields (wait until they stop ducking behind them to hit them with your flame), cows with space helmets waving laser guns around (glide towards them to avoid the laser, then flame them), and...my favorite...rocket pigs! (Let them come near you, then flame them just before they run into you. Or hide behind a wall. That works too.)
When you meet up with the Inventor Droid, you'll be able to get one of four orbs for this level (this is one of the rare levels that have more than three).
The fodder here are eggs with legs. Reminds me of Shelldon from US Acres (if you've ever watched the U.S. Acres cartoons on Garfield and Friends, you know who I'm talking about).
To use the elevators, get on top of one and use the headbash ability on it.
There's a metal box near where you battle the ox with the bombs, but you'll have to make it to the end and go all the way back with the power-up for it. About that power-up...I'll explain it later. It's really good. There's also another metal box in the sheep saucer area next to the exit portal. There's also a headbash box near the end after you take the second to last elevator up as well as another one in the sheep saucer area on top of one of the buildings.
When you make it to the Inventor Droid, you'll be able to take advantage of the combination power-up: a combination of Superfly and Superflame. Now you can fly around and hit things with the Superflame at the same time.
Canyon Speedway
Ah, yes, Canyon Speedway. My favorite speedway of the four, as well as the easiest of the four.
You'll be flying around a mountain with lava bubbling below you as you take out goats, tractors, and vultures. Arches, always the staple of every speedway, make an appearance here as well.
Orbs
Metropolis
1. Fight the ox and take it down by lighting the bombs with your flame attack and sending them near it. When you deplete the ox's health meter, you'll get an orb.
2. When you meet the Inventor Droid where the exit portal is, she'll give you an orb.
3. Take down the three sheep in the flying saucers using the combination power-up and you'll get an orb.
4. You need to get #3 to do this one. When you take down the three saucer sheep, they'll send a distress signal and back-up will arrive. Take down the next five and you'll get yet another orb.
Canyon Speedway
1. In the area with the vultures, scan the top of the walls and you'll find an opening. Go into it and you'll find Hunter. Take control of his planes and shoot down all the balloons without missing one. This one's pretty easy, but it's also pretty awesome, too. Just remember that up and down are reversed and that you can hold the Circle button down to do rapid fire.
Skill Points
Canyon Speedway
Under 1:10 - Of the speedway Skill Points, getting 1:10 is the easiest to get. Take care of the goats first, then go through the rings, go against the flow with the tractors and then take care of the vultures. You may get this on your first pass through the stage without even knowing. It's that easy.
