PrinceWatercress plays Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure - Part 2 of 3


In this entry, we take on the middle three levels of the game. This is where things get a little interesting...


Space Wars

In this level, you'll be flying in a plane. You can only fire straight forward with B while moving in eight directions with the D-Pad. Keep close attention to your surroundings, and you're the largest thing on the screen and it can be pretty easy to hit something.

The eagles will try to poop up on us if we are below them. Stay above them and shoot them from behind. The money bag gives you points. Also, thunderbolts will strike from all over.

After the grey enemy on the airplane, you'll find a Pero head. Pick it up for an extra life.

When you see the U.F.O., shoot it down immediately and avoid being shot down yourself. The more quickly you destroy it, the less you'll have to worry about it disappearing and re-appearing in a different location on the screen.

Once you beat the U.F.O., it's on to London.

Why this level is called "Space Wars," I will never know.

London

Unlike The West, you won't be able to stay on top of the buildings as often. Be ready to shoot forward and behind. If you see an enemy, stop to shoot it down. Keep the gun equipped at all times.

After entering the first door, you'll have to deal with conveyor belts and green columns in the ceilings that move up and down to mess up your jumps. Enemies will show up, but they'll usually walk off the conveyor belts.

After the second door, watch out for the gray columns in the floor and the ceilings that move up and down.

After the third door, you can jump to the platforms on the top to make it easier to avoid the bats. You'll have to come down eventually, though.

The boss here is a blue demon that sits in the center and breathes fireballs while swinging his sword. Equip the bomb and throw bombs at the demon's mouth while taking as little damage as possible. It helps to come here with full health, assuming you know what you're doing. 

Liberty

In this level, you'll be flying in a hot air balloon. Pressing B lets you shoot forward. You'll need to constantly press Up on the D-Pad to avoid falling to the bottom of the screen, as that will kill you. Take it slow to avoid and shoot down the lightning bolts, and be ready to shoot down enemies on hot air balloons. When you see the stars coming down, stay just below center and avoid them and the lightning bolts until you reach the end.
