PrinceWatercress plays Gex: Enter The Gecko - Part 4 of 25


In this entry, we take on our first bonus area and our first boss, then go hunting for more remote as we revisit the Kung Fu flick theme from the last video.

The first seven-and-a-half minutes is just me getting the last red remote in Smellraiser. We've already seen that before.

Aztec 2-Step

8:10 - For this stage, you'll have to collect fifty gems in three minutes. Use the camera to look around and jump on raised tiles to open up other areas and find more gems. Once you collect all the gems, you'll have to get the gold remote, and the clock will still keep counting down during the cutscene and the trek to the remote.

The Media Dimension

You'll need three red remotes to enter Gilligex Isle, but once you do, you'll take on your first boss. Rez will taunt you before you enter the level.

Tail whip the blue fireballs back at the tiki brothers after lining yourself up with them, and jump over the fire walls that they create. If they bounce off the statues, it doesn't count. After sending all three tiki brothers into the pot nearby, you'll get a gold remote and open up a gate leading to more of the Media Dimension.

As you move around, you'll find static-filled monitors for levels you don't have enough red remotes for. The next stage to get covered it Mao Tse Tongue.

The token tiers for the kung-fu flick-themed levels are take-out noodles, yin-yang symbols

17:28 - We'll be breaking windows and fighting ninjas with swords up close on our way to one of the remotes. You'll have to be patient to ride on the spinning platforms. By hitting gongs, you'll open up paths. By jumping on the yin-yang titles, you can bounce higher than usual and reach platforms you sometimes normally couldn't.

18:58 - These statues will attack you when you get close, Tail whip them in the head to decapitate them, then hit them again to get rid of them

19:46 - By accidentally dropping down to the start, breaking this window and entering the doors...

20:05 - ...you'll end up here. The vases contain tokens, and the gold panels are climbable walls.

21:07 - Obviously, you don't want to run into these swinging guillotines. After walking across some different-looking titles that fall when we walk on them, we fight off a red ninja who tosses shurikens before sticking to this tile and being turned over to the other side.

21:37 - By hitting this gong, we get some platforms to rise up out of the floor.

21:48 - The floating Son Guku head here is much like the floating skull in Smellraiser. Wait for it to stop spitting fire, then make your move. Interestingly, tail bouncing into it destroys it.

22:13 - With the nearby yin-yang titles, you can leap up here and hit the gong to go through the next set of doors.

22:27 - It's time to fight some ninjas! Once you beat them up, you'll uncover some yin-yang tiles. Hit the two gongs to uncover another secret tile.

24:29 - After walking across the carpet and climbing on the wall with the help of the yin-yang tiles, you'll have to jump from one teetering platform to another to get to the red remote ("Traverse The Rocking Pillars") at the end.
