PrinceWatercress plays Bugs Bunny & Taz: Timebusters - Part 19 of 23


In this entry, we get the fourth and final era of the game in full swing.


0:58 - Our introduction to the Transylvanian Era. Daffy meets Dracula, then drinks a potion that makes him a giant monster for no reason.

2:46 - The first of five crates is at the start. Also, break the coffins for items and collectibles. Just watch out for arms that may pop out of them to hit you with a hammer.

3:25 - The first out-of-time character in the Transylvanian Era. Shoot a carrot at him in first-person mode, then kick him.

4:18 - The second crate.

6:05 - The third crate, and a big brute. Be ready to run if they chase after you. 

6:40 - This machine can be used to switch brains with the big brutes and control them. We'll take advantage of that later.

6:51 - The fourth crate, and another big brute. If you don't get their attention, kick them!

9:36 - The brutes do not play around!

10:27 - We look for the red guy, but the red guy finds us. We then have to lead him to the brain transfer machine and play as the guy. You can only do brain transfers with Bugs. While playing as one of this big, beefy guys, Square punches, X jumps and Circle performs a charge attack. You cannot go anywhere past the hub world while playing as one of these guys.

The big red guy can break the red church bell door as well as the gold boxes in the immediate vicinity.

13:12 - You'll want to break any blocks that are nearby and grab any gears that you see. You can punch the rocks, and if you are in the punching animation, the rocks cannot hurt you. When you reach the top, punch the bell. You'll leave the area automatically and light up a window on the bell tower.

15:26 - Here, we learn how to float into the air with a bubble gum bubble with Taz. As Taz, attack the bubble gum dispenser with Square, then grab the gumball that pops out and eat it with Triangle. You'll be able to float slowly into the air, but this does not last forever, and the bubble will pop and you'll eventually fall back down.

To blow the bubble, you'll need to press the X button. When you press X, you'll hear Taz blow air into the bubble. When he stops blowing air, that's your cue to press X again. This will allow you to get into the air as much as possible and get as much air time as you can. You can also control Taz with the D-Pad, but watch where you're going, as it is possible to pop the bubble because you went somewhere that the game does not want you to go while blowing a bubble gum bubble. 

The rooftop here has a few gears as well as the fifth and final crate for the Transylvanian Era hub world. You'll also find the second out-of-time character for the hub world as well; thankfully, you can press L1 to teleport Bugs over to the roof to take care of him.
