PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 15 of 20

We have just one more level before we make it to the top of the Celestial Heavens...only to get soundly mocked.

First | Previous | Next | End

You get a battle with a bunch of Celestial warriors at the start. The second and fifth hand rails in the background are where you don't want to stand, due to those segments of the platform lowering when you get on them. To make matters worse, the Celestial warriors can get a lucky shot on you and knock you into the abyss, forcing you to start the whole battle over.

After this, it's time to jump upwards on clouds to another platform. Use the Shrink spell to avoid the crushers and get Key 1, then continue to the right. Take out the warrior, then continue right to Keyhole 1. You'll be travelling in an even narrow elevator, and there will still be bombs. The bombs are positioned right, left, right, right, left, right, left, left, right, right, left. If you need to, use the Ice spell to freeze the elevator temporarily so you can re-position yourself. 

To the right of Keyhole 2 is Key 2 itself. Shrink yourself, double jump onto the conveyor belt, grab the key, turn around, shrink the blue column to your left, cast the Shrink spell on yourself again and push the column to the left and out of your way. You can then put Key 2 into Keyhole 2, go up for four turnips and an extra life, then take the elevator above. In this elevator, you'll have quite a bit of room to maneuver, and you'll need to pull all the switches to move the ceilings out of the way or else you're going to get crushed. This is where the Ice spell will really come in handy, as you'll need it to freeze the floor so you can fight off the enemies that show up and give yourself extra time to pull all the switches as well as re-position yourself to avoid the bombs. Once the camera zooms in on you inside the elevator, you'll reach the top.

At the top, you'll meet Refang, who will taunt you from behind a door. You'll need to get four keys to reach him, and to go through them...you'll have to enter more teleport pads! Isn't this fun?!? (No.)
