If you loved Bonk's Adventure, you'll love this one! King Drool has the other half of the moon...and it's time to get it back!
Round 1
Waterfall
Left and Right let you move, Button I lets you jump and Button II lets you attack in form of a tough caveman headbutt. If you headbutt in the air, Bonk will dive head-first into the ground to headbutt enemies from above.
Pressing Up and Jump while jumping in front of a waterfall to latch on, then keep jumping to climb up the waterfall. Stop climbing at anytime to slide and eventually drop off.
The butterflies and fruits will give you points, so collect as many as you can. You'll get your first extra life at 20,000 points.
By hitting certain power-up plants, you can sometimes change their color and turn them into yellow springboard flowers or turn them into blue flowers. While the pink flowers can turn into life-filling fruit or evil flower enemies (more on those later), the orange ones give you meat (more on those later, again) and the blue ones give you cool stuff like extra lives, health extensions and even a full health restore in the form of a big heart. Be careful, as flowers that change color when hit will disappear when they are no longer on-screen.
The flowers with the smiley faces take you to bonus areas. The "Jump on Floret Sprung" bonus area has you jumping from flower to flower while grabbing everything you can on the way to the end. The fruit you pick up both here and throughout the will recover your health (and do a better job of it compared to Bonk's Adventure), and the smileys are used for the bonus area at the end of every round. If you press the Jump button right when you're about to bounce off the top of a yellow flower, you'll get the maximum height for your jump.
There are guys with egg helmets sleeping around here, and while you can headbutt them in mid-air, you can only do it once; you can't juggle enemies for a ton of points anymore.
Speaking of headbutting in mid-air, hitting the ground in certain parts of certain floors that way will reveal hidden bonus point items.
The falling flowers are 500 points each.
Watch out for the boulders. They take multiple aerial headbutts to destroy.
Flower Field
Be ready to jump for butterflies, fruit and other things in this stage. You'll need all the points you can get.
Sometimes you can move certain flowers to the left or right while headbutting them on the ground.
The egg helmet enemies with the butterfly nets will stop next to you and swing their nets at you if you get close enough.
The orange flowers give you meat, which makes you angry, give you a little bit of health and gives you an extra hit. Eating enough meat makes you briefly invincibility. When you're a little bit mad, your headbutt will produce a projectile that petrifies enemies and turns them into stone, and headbutting the ground from mid-air will petrify all on-screen enemies. If you're angry enough to become briefly invincible, your headbutt will be replaced with the ability to breathe fire. The anger dissipates when you go without meat long enough or if you take damage in an angered state (which keeps you from losing health as a nice side benefit, should that happen).
If you can get to the cloud platforms, you can reach another bonus area. The "Hop Thru The Glaciers" bonus area has you moving across ice platforms while grabbing as much as you can.
The small schools of fish in the water are worth bonus points.
To swim, just use the Control Pad. Use the jump button to jump out of the water.
If you jump into the fish on the fishing pole enemy's fishing pole, Bonk will eat it and work his way up the fishing pole. From there, you can jump up and headbutt the poor guy.
Some of the red flowers do not move at all, and if you hit them or jump on them, they turn into evil flowers that bounce around. A simple attack should do it, but you can also jump into it from underneath to attack and destroy it, as well. Keep in mind that doing a headbutt in mid-air does double damage compared to the other methods, though.
The orange seedling with the face gives you a flower that sticks to your head. Rapidly tapping the jump button lets you fly. See what you can get up in the air! The flower lasts until you take a hit from an enemy or you leave the current section of the round that you are on.
The mid-boss here is a egg helmet guy on a dinosaur. The dinosaur can breathe fire and will run at you, but three mid-air headbutts will do it in.
Caverns
There are two routes. The upper route has a bunch of boulders, some meat hidden behind the columns, and sets of five stars falling from the sky that are worth a few hundred points. If you're willing to go for it, you can break some floor blocks for an extra life.
The purple pterodactyl enemy will eat you if you get too close to it. Mid-air headbutts will do it in.
You can climb up some walls. If Bonk grabs a wall with his teeth after you jump into one, keep rapidly pressing the jump button to climb up the wall.
The lower path has lava that is deadly to the touch (but not instant death) and bone platforms that slowly sink into the lava when you stand on them. Both route do have acid droplets that drip down from above and damage Bonk it they touch him, so be careful.
The egg enemies with the pickaxes act much like the ones with the butterfly nets from earlier.
Unlike in Bonk's Adventure, if you hit a wall during a mid-air headbutt, you'll wall jump off the wall. This can be useful in certain situations.
