PrinceWatercress plays Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket - Part 2 of 3


In this entry, we get closer to getting the Greendale Rocket back on track.


Level 3-A: Find Reverend Timms!

Password: Mailbag, Present, Jess, Parcel

Go left at the beginning. You'll find eight collectible items that are easy to miss.

Some of the pool platforms will slowly move back and forth at this point.

You'll come across Jess early in the level. Jess will be able to enter the underground passage and press a button to activate the floating platform.

You'll be doing this again shortly afterwards to get a few parcels in the tunnel to the left, then you'll have to climb the drainpipe to hit another button on the roof to...you guessed it...activate another floating platform.

Use the green bin to grab the nearby letter, then push it to the right to reach another area. You'll be using Jess yet again to climb up a drainpipe, ride on some floating platforms and hit another platform to get an inner tube in a pool to move back and forth, letting Pat continue. Before you take control of Jess for a second time, however, go left first for some easy-to-miss collectibles.

All the buttons you've hit so far have been blue. The red ones, though, take more effort. You'll have to push something onto it in order to keep whatever it activates going. In this case, it lowers a platform above a pool.

You'll meet Reverend Timms soon after, ending the level.

Level 3-B: Catch the drops!

Password: Present, Pat, Pink Flower, Jess

Uh-oh. The roof of Reverend Timms' church is leaking. You'll have to catch 50 drops of water in the bucket before time runs out with Left and Right on the Control Pad. Some of the drops are faster than others. As long as you don't miss one, you should have a few seconds left when you catch them all.

Level 3-C: Catch PC Arthur Selby!

Password: Parcel, Present, Jess, Present

PC means "Police Constable." This is a British television show, after all.

Yep, another van driving stage. The puddles will slow Postman Pat down, as will the barriers blocking the open manholes.

When you meet Police Constable Selby, you'll get the third mystery item: a police whistle.

Level 4-A: Find Dorothy and Alf Thompson!

Password: Pat, Present, Mailbag, Pink Flower

Turn left at the beginning to find some easy-to-miss collectibles. Be sure to look all around when you play this level, because it can be easy to miss anything.

You'll find Jess after a bit of a drop. Jump over the button on the other side of the narrows passageway to collect some more stuff.

After using a bale of hay to reach a platform, you'll be able to climb up a pole with Jess, collect some letters and hit another button to activate a floating platform. From there, there's another red button to push a hay bale on, and you're done.

Level 4-B: Catch the butterflies!

Password: Mailbag, Pink Flower, Pink Flower, Present

You play as Jess this time around. It's an auto-scrolling stage in which you have to collect 80 butterflies...and you can't miss one, since there's exactly 80 of them in the stage. At least there's no timer here.

Level 4-C: Find Ted!

Password: Pat, Jess, Mailbag, Present

Time to find the mechanic. Strangely, the set-up of the obstacles here is the most linear of the racing levels.

The fourth mystery item is the wrench. Judging that we need to fix the train, this is a good mystery item.
