PrinceWatercress plays Franklin's Great Adventures - Part 3 of 6

In this entry, we head to the beach with Beaver to look for seashells. Here, we solve some more puzzles, avoid sea urchins and find a hidden wall.

First | Previous | Next | End

Northwest of Level 4 is Goose. If you talk to Goose, she will tell you that she would like to decorate her sand castle with seashells, and asks where she can find some. From here, you'll need to head northwest again.

Before doing that, I head west of Franklin's house and talk to Mr. Mole. For 180 fruits, we can play a mini-game where we catch some butterflies. Let's play it.

The Butterfly Hunt

Catch butterflies for Mr. Mole, but be careful not to catch any bumblebees! Use the Control Pad to move Franklin's net and catch the butterflies. Press the A button quickly to get rid of the bumblebees caught in the net!

This one is very simple. Just get the net squarely in front of the butterflies so the butterflies go into the net. This mini-game is rather easy to complete, and for completing it, you'll fill up the friendship gauge for Mr. Mole.

From Mr. Mole, I head northeast to Beaver. Beaver mentions that Goose is looking for seashells at the beach, which is where we need to go next. The number five will show up nearby. Let's play the fifth level.

Level 5

Go with Beaver to find some shells for Goose. You'll have 110 fruits to collect and 10 seashells to find.

Watch out for the crabs that move back and forth; they can be a little fast.

Once again, you'll be keeping Franklin out of the water while getting Beaver in the water to move around, find fruits to collect and hit some buttons to help Franklin get move ahead. The rafts can be moved back and forth to help Franklin over the water much like the stick rafts from earlier in the game. You'll need to explore every place you can go to find all the fruits and all of the seashells.

The sea urchins move up and down and can be a bit difficult to get past, especially since when Beaver swims, she strokes forward.

For the green button that controls the wall in the water, you'll need to get Franklin on the button so that you can swim past where the wall was for a seashell.

15:53 - There's a hidden wall here. This won't be the last time the game does this, either.

Once you beat Level 5, Beaver will say that the seashells will look great on Goose's sand castle, then asks Franklin what he will do, saying that Bear might want to play with him. Bear will be to the southwest.
