PrinceWatercress plays The Adventures of Star Saver - Part 4 of 5

We're near the end of our quest, and our adventure sees hidden exits, flashing tiles to shoot and some more bosses.

Stage 7

Jump on the two flashing pillars at the start; first the right one five times, then the left one five times. This extends the bridge.

Jump on the flashing platform three times, then shoot the flashing tile above and to the right to make another platform. Jump on the flashing platform a few more times to reach the other platform.

You'll see a flashing tile soon afterwards. Jump on it until a platform shows up, then jump on the platform until the door to the right opens. Go to where the door was and keep jumping until platforms show up. Jump on the platforms to find another bonus area. Shoot the circular blocks and stand on the lion's back when you are able to in order to warp to the end.

Shoot the flashing tile to the right, then jump on the flashing platform that is ahead to move it upwards. Be ready to shoot enemies on the way up to the goal. There will be a hidden P block that you can shoot to reveal if you need to. There will be some enemies near the top, so make short hops as you make your way to the exit.

But what if you didn't take the shortcut to the end? Leap on the flashing tile ahead once to open up a platform, then go past the dog and you'll face the boss...or do you?

If you don't want to fight the boss, you can drop down to the lower part and shoot the wall to the right in just the right spot to get an instant exit.

If you do want to fight the boss, here's what you do. Make your way to the right when the screen goes dark, then shoot at the boss's tentacles. From here, run all the way tot he other side of the screen and keep shooting. Rinse and repeat until you beat the boss. Simple enough.

Stage 8

Shooting at the floating mines will eventually get rid of all of them for a ton of points.

The tentacle-like corals will stun you if you touch them.

Be sure to get the spinning triangle soon after the start; you'll need it to avoid as many enemies as possible afterwards.

You'll eventually come across a platform on the water that will move when jump on i. The stationary rafts will sink under your weight. Shoot the robot Nessie in the head to use it as a platform, then continue to the right to face the boss.

The boss is a robot gorilla that throws bolts. Run to the right, stop as soon as you see him, then run left to avoid the bolts and shoot the boss in the torso when it comes to a complete stop while moving back and forth. Be careful not to get hit by the falling stones on the tree on the way to the goal. You can get through without getting hit if you move very slowly at the tree.
