PrinceWatercress plays Darkwing Duck (Game Boy) - Part 3 of 7


For some reason, I had a much harder time here than I did than on NES. I blame the jumping...and the kangaroo enemies.

Sewers - Stop Liquidator!

The Arrow Gas exists after all! For three gas points, you can shoot an arrow-shaped platform that will stick to the wall and can be stood on like a platform.

The grates on the wall act as hooks. Be ready to hold the A button down while jumping for them to make sure you grab them like you did the hooks. There's one in particular that requires you to hold the A button down like your life depends on it. 

The eggs come down on parachutes. When they land on solid ground, they sprout legs and come straight at you. You're better off just jumping over them, as they're very quick.

The guys hiding in the ceiling will strike the ceiling with a hammer and cause two pieces of debris to drop down from the sides of the hammer. Wait for the debris to drop down before passing.

If you have the Arrow Gas, you'll be able to get your hands on two extra lives at the start. You can hang on the underside of the platforms that slowly move back and forth as well as stand on top of them. Watch out for the guys with the hammers, as the debris that drops down after they pull their hammers away can damage you. There are also alligator guys that come at you, but the Arrow Gas wipes them right out. 

Remember how the metal platforms work; you'll need to be both on and under them when necessary to avoid the spikes.

In the next screen, the screen will go dark. There are switches you can hang onto to turn on the lights, but they go back off when you let go. The eyes you see will be blackbirds that fly up and come at you.

The kangaroos only throw bombs at you if you shoot at them. Otherwise, they'll just sit there.

Liquidator

Liquidator hangs out on the surface of the water, because he is the surface of the water. Avoid him as he sinks down and moves across the screen. When he resurfaces, he'll blow a horn to call out some fish-shaped water droplets that rise up before coming down on you. Thankfully, they can be shot down easily with the regular gun. Shoot at Liquidator while he's blowing the horn, and get as many shots in before he sinks into the water again. It's not really that hard.

Once you beat the first three stage, three more will open up.
