We're nearing the endgame! In this entry, we face Pete to get the diary back, then head to the Great Duck Treasure Island.
The next section is full of series of platforms that move in and out. For best results, stand on the center to see where they go, then quickly make your move accordingly. If you need to, get on one of the nearby platforms, let it take you back to the center, and then see what you have to do and how to time your jumps to get to the platform you need to get to. You'll have to stop and think on the center of these platform clusters to figure out how to get from one cluster to the next.
You'll be able to freely move around in the next section. Thankfully, it's pretty easy to find your way around. You'll eventually have to slide around in some narrow corridors, and stun some turtles with the plungers. When you take the elevator down, duck down so you can stun the guy with the gun. Do not take the next elevator up; instead, use the Green Plunger to make your way up so you can stun the guys with the guns along the way.
You'll then come across Pete. Walk up to him to trigger the boss battle with him. If you win, you'll get the map and the Viking Diary back. Pete will then lower into the ground and show up on a platform with a crusher on the underside. You'll have to shoot him with the bubble gum while at the same time trying to avoid being underneath him. You may have to shoot straight up to hit him sometimes, but do what you have to do. If you're ever underneath him, slide. It may not always work, but at least you'll have a chance to get away from the crusher.
After twelve hits, Pete will surrender and give you the Viking Diary and the map back. Pause the game, go to the inventory and use the Viking Diary. You can finally read the diary, which tells you to dip the map in water to reveal the location of the real treasure. You'll go to the map, and you'll reveal the Great Duck Treasure Island between South America and Africa. You'll go there immediately.
The Island
If this looks strangely familiar to you, that is because a bootleg game for the Mega Drive used assets from it. I can't remember which one, though.
Switch to the Green Plunger so you can stun the two snakes on the way up. Also, be careful with the leaf platforms, as they will fall when you land on them.
You'll come across an area with platforms that will break under your weight. Land on the first set of platforms and keep holding Right on the Control Pad. You want to keep holding Right until you're past all of the breakaway platforms; otherwise, you will die.
On the vine platforms that explode when you stand on them, keep leaping onto the edge of each one, then go to the right when the path allows you to.
You'll finally be in the temple. Wait in the gap in the spears on the first slope, then dash down the second. Grab the zipline, take it to the other side, and hit the statues where their shields aren't. Hit high if the shields are low; hit low if the shields are high. One will jump as soon as you see it; shoot it while it is in mid-air. When you are suddenly free of the statues, hold A to run as two more will suddenly spawn behind you.
Climb up to the next level with the Green Plunger, then go through the slopes and watch out around the rings of fire. You'll have to deal with more statues after this, stun them, then get on the moving platform with the help of the Green Plunger. Don't stun the statues as they try to jump at you, otherwise they'll be joining you.
On the second moving platform, there is a space in the ceiling that you can climb up with the Green Plunger. Go up and slide to the right and you'll enter the next area, which leads to a bottomless pit...
