In this entry, we take on the swashbuckling genre with Revenge of Orangebeard.
Revenge of Orangebeard
Here, the ammunition is bombs. Also, you wear different things and even carry a different melee weapon for your B button attack. I like that it's a wooden sword here.
When you enter this level, you'll land on a boat. Stay on it at all times to get through the first half of the level, and be ready to attack tentacles that strike at you, bats that fly around, leeches that dive at you, vines that grab at you and skeleton pirates that throw their heads at you. If you fall off the boat into the water, the water will damage you, and the boat will wait for you to get back on.
Eventually, you'll have to get off the boat and jump on platforms before getting onto another boat.
After a while, there will be platforms that move in and out of the background wall, and you'll have to leap from one to the next as they move in and out of the wall in order to get back on the boat and continue on.
When you get on dry land, you can get on the tree branches to get the mallet key. You'll have to fight monkeys that throw stuff at you while yellow birds that look like flying chickens show up every so often
The turtles move back and forth on the water and act as platforms, but they also dive into the water when you jump onto them.
The second part of the stage takes place on an island. Watch out for the flame vents in the ground that you can barely see, as they shoot fire out of the ground. Also, if you attack the man-eating plants, you can jump on them and use them like trampolines. You'll need to move from one side of the area to the other with the tree branches and vines as you make your way to the top of the level, where you'll have to drop down to enter another section. As you do this, you'll also have to deal with the flying yellow birds that show up every so often. Amazingly, you don't even have to face them to defeat them with the melee attack, as the hitbox on it is so generous that you can attack the birds with it even when they are behind you. If you fall into the water, you won't die; instead, you'll be carried out to an earlier point.
In the third section, you'll have to jump on platforms that move in and out of the water to avoid falling into the water. You can push the rock into the water to get past the last gap before the remote.
The boss here is a large pirate skeleton. Use the platforms that move in and out of the water to get to the skeleton boss and throw ammo at it, and avoid the skulls that he throws. After one hit, the pirate's parrot will fly to the left. Jump on the parrot, then throw ammo at the boss. Be ready to jump on a platform and wait for the parrot to show up again, then get on the parrot and throw ammo at the pirate again, all while attacking and/or avoiding the flying skulls. After enough hits, the pirate boss will go down.
After this, you'll need to climb on ceilings and jump on platforms and springs to get to the next portal.
