PrinceWatercress plays Dinosaurs For Hire - Part 3 of 5

I really did not want to lose all of my firepower here. While the game isn't super difficult, going down a single-shot pea shooter after you lose all your health isn't fun.

Jet Ski Adventure

To get big air on the ramps, you'll need to hold Right on the D-Pad and move towards them. The faster you're going, the more air you'll get. You can also change where you are by moving with the D-Pad while in flight. There are also fire pits, and you'll need to spend as little time in them as possible. Strangely, the fire pits after the ramps can still hurt you, and because of that, I jump over some of the fire pits while trying to shoot down the first crystal I see for the food so I can stop running around with low health like I did when I got here.

There will also be mines on the ground as well as a few of the platforms you can jump onto. You can avoid them, but you can also shoot them down. 

Near the end of the level, there are soldiers you can shoot at as well as some crystals. The crystals will provide some useful power-ups, including more food and an extra life.

There is a mid-boss to take down at the end. Shoot down the manned cars at the side as the boss flies around, and stay away from the center so you don't get hit from above. Once you take out the cars, it's on to the next area.

Hollywood

This part is pretty easy to blow through with heavy firepower. You'll have tanks on the ground, helicopters in the air and a bunker with a turret near the end of the monster movie set that you're stomping through. They all shoot at you, but the bunker turret takes quite a bit of punishment before it goes down.

After taking out that turret, grab the shield. You'll be facing a mechanical Triceratops. When you reach the end, go all the way back to the left. The Triceratops tank will have a lot of points to shoot down, but you definitely want to take out the turret on its back while avoiding its shots as quickly as possible while shooting down everything else. There is also another turret on the ceiling that will shoot energy rings at you, and you'll need to down it as well. When the Triceratops tank rushes at you, go all the way to the left side and jump to avoid being rammed.

Blue Line Train

If you see a hatch on the ceilings of the train cars you're walking on, stop, duck down and shoot at them immediately. They will definitely get in your way, making getting around harder and doing a good amount of damage, and they can even knock you into the bottomless pits between the train cars. There are also worm-like enemies crawling around, but if you've got some good firepower and you're shooting as you go, you'll more than likely take them out before they do very much.

The flying robots that fly back and forth shoot energy rings down like a three-way shot only fire at the sides of the screen. When they move towards you, walk under them while shooting upwards at them and get to the other side.

You'll get an extra life before the boss. The boss will fly in, and you'll need to shoot at the rear of the flying machine. When the boss splits into two parts, you'll fight the flying part first. Fight it just like you did the flying robots from earlier, and wait for it to stop shooting the laser beam down before walking under it. The other part will soon show up after you destroy the flying part. Shoot at the globe at the top and watch where the rings that it shoots go. When it approaches you, it will kick at you. Stay away from it when it kicks and keep aiming at the globe. You'll take this thing down in no time.
