PrinceWatercress plays Scrapyard Dog (Lynx) - Part 4 of 7


Now these places that we're going through just to save our dog are becoming more and more absurd. I feel bad for our protagonist Louie here.

Mountain 1

You'll need to be careful as you cross the rickety bridge. There will be fishing jumping up and down in some of the pits, and there are also wild animals like rams that want to beat you up. At least there are rocks and branches poking out of the waterfall in the background that you can use as platforms, but you won't be able to use the high road all the time.

Ducking down on the nests will give you power-ups, and ducking down on the raft will net you some temporary invincibility.

There is a cave where you can buy shields, and another with the can mini-game where you can win temporary invincibility. 

The single planks that aren't connected to any other planks fall under your weight and will take you down with them if you stand on them for more than a second. Be sure to hold Left or Right briefly so you can get momentum on your next jump.

Duck down on the letter for 2500 points.

Mountain 2

It's an even longer way down compared to the first level, as you're on the cliffs here. There are some white platforms you can stand on, as well as some cloud platforms.

The moose walk back and forth much like the rams do, and the eagles will swoop down and attack you only if you attack first.

Duck down on nests for pick-ups.

If it's a flat surface, you can probably land on it.

The Tri-Laser in the cave has a three way shot than help you take care of enemies from an angle and from a distance. I end up never using it at any point in the Let's Play.

Jump up to the letter for 2500 points.

Mountain 3

The bats will swoop down and then fly back and forth while gently lowering. This will give you some time to plan your attack against them.

The bears will rush at you, sometimes from the left side of the screen.

The first cave contains a store where you can buy guns. The cave above the moving mine carts lets you buy shields. The third gun contains a stun gun, which freezes all enemies and hazards. This may or may not help with the green platforms that move up and down. If you touch an enemy while the stun gun is in effect, they will be defeated instantly.

The box mini-game is even simpler than the can mini-game. Just pick a box and you'll get a prize.

The last green platform has a hidden red money bag for $5 that you can pick if you jump straight up as high as the platform can go.

Duck at the note for 2500 points.

Mountain 4

This time, you're flying a blimp, but the same horizontal shmup controls remain. Watch out for the clouds, as they will hurt you. Ditto for the birds and the flames that come out of the chimneys. At one point, you'll also fly over a stadium, where you will have to avoid footballs.

The chest at the end contains another shield.

Mountain 5

The boss is a raccoon on a jetpack. Just stay all the way to the left and move up or down to avoid the bombs that the raccoon shoots or drops as you keep firing. The raccoon will go down in no time.

You'll get another extra life before heading to the desert.
