PrinceWatercress plays Ka-Blooey - Part 16 of 25


Not only do the levels start getting big again, but they also get a little harder again. Also, we get to see Level 83, which was removed from the game when it was brought to Nintendo Switch Online (due to the game not being released officially in Europe until then).


Level 81

Hit the center left switch (referred to here as the "left switch"). Move the nearby small and medium bombs two tiles to the right. Detonate the small bomb north of the center tile. Move the small bomb on the north slot tiles up one, then detonate the small bomb on the regular tile. Hit the upper left switch (referred to here as the "up switch"). Detonate the small and medium bombs moved near the "left switch", then hit the lower left switch (referred to here as the "down switch"). Move the medium bombs on the east slot tiles one tile up, then detonate the small bomb on the regular tile and and hit the lower right switch (referred to here as the "right switch"). Place the medium bomb two tiles right of the medium bomb near the temple, then place another medium bomb two tiles north of the previously placed medium bomb near the "right switch," and place a third medium bomb north of the mine in the lower right corner. Place the remaining small bombs north of the medium bomb near the mine. Detonate the middle small bomb and step to the right.

Level 82

Watch for the enemy as you do all this. Move the medium bomb all the way to the left. Place one small bomb near each mine. Place a medium bomb two tiles left from the innermost mine in the center spiral. Place one small bomb south of the medium bomb. With the three small bombs on the left, detonate the upper one first, then the lower one, then the middle one. When the enemy passes by, detonate the small bomb you placed south of the medium bomb to destroy the enemy and two of the mines. From here, make your way backwards around the stage and detonate the small bombs you placed next to all the mines. Detonate the final small bomb you placed near the mine at the start, then detonate the small aerial bomb. Detonate the small bomb next to the medium bomb in the center of the stage, then detonate the remaining small bomb.

Level 83

This level was censored out of the Nintendo Switch Online version of the game, which was the game's first official release in Europe (where it had already been on the home micros under its original name Bombuzal, as the slot tiles made the shape of a swastika. On the cartridge versions for both Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, this level remains intact, but if you play your way to Level 83 or input the password for it on Nintendo Switch Online (NBJL, as it is the American version that is on the service), you'll be kicked forward to Level 84.

Place the medium aerial bombs on the corners, the large aerial bomb in the center, and the small aerial on the bottom-most center tile. Detonate the small aerial bomb, then step to the right.

Level 84

Go left three times. Detonate the swell bomb when it is small. Go right, down, then left. Send the red guy into the mine on the right. Go down twice, then left into the teleporter. Detonate the small bomb and move up, hit the switch and enter the nearby (left) teleporter in the lower left corner. Hit switch in the upper left corner, then detonate the bomb. Go back to where the red guy was and place the small bomb on the slot tiles to the south up one tile. Hit the nearby switch twice to summon the red guy and simultaneously get rid of the bomb. Go back to the right teleporter in the lower right corner. On the way, detonate the small bomb, hit the switch in the upper left corner, then get back into the right teleporter. Hit the nearby switch again, then enter the left teleporter in the lower right corner. Send red guy to the medium aerial in the upper left corner, then take the right teleporter in the lower left corner again. Go right across the ice. Make a small-medium-large line in the square of slot tile - large in the upper left corner, medium in the lower left corner, and small in the lower right corner. Go back across the ice to the left teleporter in the lower left corner and enter that teleporter. Detonate the last bomb and move up.

Level 85

Go right two times. Detonate. Go down, left, left, then down. Detonate. Go right three times, then up one time. Detonate. Go left three times, then up one time. Detonate. Go left, then down two times. Detonate. Go down, right three times, up, then right. Detonate. Go down two times, then left. Detonate. Go left four times. Detonate. Go up two times, left, then down. Go the last small bomb and detonate it, then move up.

Level 86

Detonate the small aerial bomb in the lower right corner, then move up or left. This gets rid of all the bombs and the tiles will spell "C+VG," a reference to Computer and Video Games Magazine in the UK.
