PrinceWatercress plays Bonk's Revenge - Part 2 of 8


In this entry, we take on our first boss before doing even more exploring in Round 2.

Volcano Castle

The burgers, fries and shakes do not refill your health; they just give you points. 

The lava is not instant death, but it does hurt, so try not to fall into it.

The guy on the dinosaur is a regular enemy now.

Be careful as you use the volcano platforms as you explore this area, as there will be spikes as your rise up as well as volcanic rocks that will launch out of the volcanoes in the background that can be tough to avoid as they make their way down.

One of the bonus areas has you spinning repeatedly with the attack button as you drop down from the top of a tower to the ground below while grabbing as many smiley faces and fruits as possible. This is one of the easier bonus areas.

The small spinning heart will refill one whole heart's worth of health.

When you reach the metal dinosaur head with the horns, you'll reach the boss chamber. The first boss is a turtle with a volcano on its back that will shoot out six volcanic rocks before poking its head and tail out. Once that happens, attack the head with as many aerial headbutts as possible before it hides back into its volcanic body. Once you beat the boss, you'll get a bonus area depending on how many smiley faces you get. The more you get, the better the train you'll be on and the better the power-ups will be.

Round 2

Piranha River

Leave the fruit at the beginning alone until you really need it.

The piranhas will be in full force here. Get in the water and headbutt them in their own domain before they give you trouble later. If you need health, go back to the beginning and get it there before you get it elsewhere in the level.

The cherries also just give you points, despite being fruit.

Another bonus area you can enter is one is one where a volcano in the background erupts and small volcanic rocks, fruit and smiley faces drop from the sky. As long as you're patient, you can get at least almost everything. If anything lands on a platform, you will have a few seconds to get it before it disappears. Falling into the bottomless pit ends the bonus game.

The bamboo stalks stuck to the ceilings can be grabbed onto and climbed on. You can press Left and Right to switch sides on them. If any enemies are climbing up and down these stalks, you can jump into them from underneath to defeat them.

Another bonus are you can find is a narrow chasm that you will have to wall bounce upwards. If you know what you're doing, you can easily get everything here. You'll get a ton of points if you get everything in any of the bonus areas.

The fish with the snorkel masks will spit bubbles that will briefly home in on you before eventually flying away.

There are flowers that can drop down from the sky that are worth 500 points. Be sure to grab them.

The mid-boss here is a pair of pterodactyl skeletons on bones with spiky ends on the bottom. Wait for them to drop down before hitting them with mid-air headbutts so you can do more damage to them. Watch out for dragonflies that will fly at you.

Bamboo Jungle

Unlike other stages, this one is purely vertical. Use Up and Down to make your way up the bamboo stalks, but don't go too fast; you may miss something you might need, whether it be fruit, a bonus area, or even a flower that will allow to fly upwards if you manage to find it. The points are worth the extra time for the extra lives!

The spiky rocks that look like masks hurt to the touch.

There are flowers that will drop down from the sky near the end of the area for 500 points each.
