Attack of the Astrobots

Chapter 1

This place is full of ramps and platforms. Use the ramps to get to the platforms, and ride the platforms to get where you need to go.

There will be snowblowers similar to the one from the battle with the Abominable Snowman around here. Just walk into the tops of them while in ball form to get launched elsewhere.

The bars in the floor limit where you can push trampolines.

There is a pit with two ice cream cones near two skull and crossbones signs, with two more ice cream cones below. Grab the top ones first, then go left. Get everything there, then use the trampoline to double back to that pit and get the lower ice cream cones. From there, you'll want to double jump left to the snow blower. You'll need to do all that to get all the ice creams without losing a life.

The springs raise floor platforms, and those platforms will only be raised for a short time before you have to jump on the springs again. 

Near the end of the chapter, there will be a lot of skull and crossbones signs. Be ready to jump on trampolines as well as on the heads of Astrobots to get to the other side.

Chapter 2

You'll meet the Blockheads. When you chase them, you'll find that they have taken control of the Astrobot King. You'll need to defeat the Astrobot King to beat the game.

Hit the lever, then push the ball that comes down down the slope into the Astrobot King to damage him. You'll then need to head to the other side of the room while dealing with all the Astrobots in the way, hit the lever there, and repeat the process. The Astrobot King will keep throwing projectiles at you while you're pushing the ball, and you'll have to go into the process of moving back and forth to push the ball towards the slope while simultaneously avoiding the projectiles. At least there is plenty of pie pieces to pick up in case you need the health.

When you beat the Astrobot King, the King will come to his senses and make remote controls illegal on Planet Astrobot. You'll then head home and continue to have that picnic with family and friends...but it becomes obvious that Gumby forgot Professor Kapp! Nevertheless, you've completed this game! Congratulations!

As for all those ice cream cones? You get absolutely nothing for collecting them all. Oh, well...
