PrinceWatercress plays Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday - Part 6 of 6


The final level of the game takes us to Count Duckula's castle, where we have to go through some swimming pools and hallways just to fight the final boss.

Castle

If you wait long enough at the beginning, you can see the whole castle. From here, press Start or Up to enter the final level of the game.

The weather here is randomized (you may get fog, you may not) and the bushes on the hedges will be randomized, too (you may get Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny). In the first section, avoid the pits with the flames that pop out of as well as the pools of water that piranhas will jump out of.

The inside sections are randomized. You may get green floors with brown walls or green walls with red floors, and the suits of armor are either knights with maces or statues of Daffy Duck holding a bag. Spiked balls act as spikes, and there will be flying sticks of dynamite that will dive down at you and knight helmets that spit out flames. The swinging on chains that you did in the first section will definitely continue once you're in the castle.

The boxing kangaroos split into two smaller kangaroos when jumped on, much like the leprechauns from earlier in the game.

Watch out for the holes in the floor; you'll be doing some serious backtracking if you fall into them.

You'll eventually reach the swimming pools of the castle. The pipes - which will be either be brown or green, as will the "No Monsters" signs - will spit out flames much like the knight helmets did, and the water here will hurt you if you land into it. Thankfully, there are life preservers above the water will help you get across, even if they fall under your weight. Also, the life preservers on the walls can either be brown or red. The robot enemies are perhaps the most dangerous, as they will be pretty fast as they move back and forth and will shoot lasers at you if you leave them on-screen long enough.

You'll soon face the final boss, which is a robot. Walk into the ends of the screen to go to the top where Count Duckula is, and when the robot shows up, jump on his head to stun the robot. When the robot is stunned, he will move slowly and you'll be able to jump on the robot and damage it. Five hits will win you the battle and the game. You just beat Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday!
