In this entry, we take on Night Mayor to save our family once and for all!
Stage 6
In the first section, go slow to avoid the spears that come down. Be fast to get past the spears that shoot at you. The door afterwards contains the hedgehog boss from the intro stage, and the same strategies from the first time around apply. There are a few boss battles behind doors here, and if you enter them and complete them, you'll be rewarded with full health. Take advantage of this if you need to.
The knights will move towards you, while the squirrels will throw nuts at you. Both of these enemies are easy to defeat.
In the next room, you'll have to deal with conveyor belts. The yellow doors here lead to the Stage 1 boss battle, and once again, the same strategies apply. Watch out for the gear that takes two hits to defeat, and be careful to hit the bats that dive at you from a distance. If you fall into the pits here, you'll be sent back, but not by much. At least you'll get the health in the chest. Just watch out for the giant protracting spikes on the floor.
Once you make it past this part, you'll meet up with some evil Kid Klown klones. (I'm trying to bring some humor back into my blog entries while still giving you info; gimme a break.) They will throw their noses at you, but the noses have limited range and will eventually return to them. Hit them while they're standing there waiting for their noses to come back.
The tiles with the glass-like sheen are one-way. You can go through them, but you can't press Down to go back. Watch out for the Kid Klown klones and the gears on the way up.
The knight helmets spit out Kid Klown klones, but only one. You can also push them out of your way just by walking into them.
The next room has more gear enemies to contend with. Be ready to throw balloons upwards on the way to the door to defend yourself. After this, you have more conveyor belts and more gear enemies. You don't need to enter the door before the climb up; even though it contains a battle with Stage 4's sea creature boss that you can use to refill your health with. When you make it to the top, enter the right door first. You'll repeat this room, but you're actually going in the right direction. Make your way to the top again, then take the left door.
You'll be in a room with a series of six doors. Five of them take you back to past boss battles, but the one you want to enter the door on the left on the center platform. This will take you to a boss battle against a giant pterodactyl that stands there and spits fire. Aim for the head, and when the pterodactyl spits fire, you'll need to blow up a balloon, hold the B button down and use your float technique to jump over the fire as you get pushed all the way to the left side of the screen by the pterodactyl's flapping wings. As for the five way shot, stay to the left and jump clear over it.
Afterwards, you'll face Night Mayor himself. Aim for the head and stay on one side of the room, and when the sparkles that come out of his hands move towards you, let them come to you and them move to the other side. Repeat until he disappears.
That was just the first phase. The second phase has Night Mayor teleporting and spitting fire. Jump to avoid the fire breath and hit Night Mayor in the head. If you can get distance between yourself and Night Mayor, more power to you. Keep that distance as you aim for the head with upwards diagonal directions. Also, if you die at any point in this battle, you'll have to face the pterodactyl boss again (and that's no fun for anyone).
After dealing enough damage, Night Mayor will no longer have a body, and you'll have to deal with his floating, disembodied head that spits fireballs that bounce around at 45-degree angles. Thankfully, you can easily destroy these fireballs with your balloons, and aiming at Night Mayor's head is pretty simple. Once you beat this phase, Night Mayor finally calls it quits. Kid Klown will re-unite with his family and find out what was in that vault: a giant supply of red rubber clown noses to give to everyone they meet as they tour the world and perform their acts of clownery. You've beaten Kid Klown in Night Mayor World!
Also, if you enter Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B and A at the title screen, you'll unlock hard more. I might play that mode down the line...
