PrinceWatercress plays Wario Land II - Part 3 of 51


Now that we've turned the water off, it's time to get it out of the castle so we don't have some weird flooding problem.



Chapter 1: One Noisy Morning

Story 3: Let the water out!



There's some coins to the left, so tackle the wall at the start.

The fish with the drills for noses will hurt you and cost you coins if they ram into you. You can hit them from above or below to stun them.

It's already been established that D-Pad will let you swim in eight directions, while underwater, but A and B will also be useful here. A lets you dash upwards and break the jars in the water from underneath, while B will allow you to dash in the current direction you are going. That's a good thing, as the bubbles that come out of the cracks in the walls will carry you upwards past the currents that will push you down. You'll just need to use Left and Right on the D-Pad to move past all the platforms that are in your way and make sure that you've gotten rid of any and all breakable obstacles. The balloon will pop when you hit a ceiling or reach the water's surface.

The pirate ducks will throw boomerangs at you. Be ready to take them out before they wave their boomerangs when you get too close.

To toggle a switch, toggle it from underneath. Toggling switches will change things in other rooms, so take a look around.

The game will tell you that if you press Down on the D-Pad at the top of a slope, you can roll down it. While rolling, you can tear through obstacles in narrow pathways that you normally couldn't break through, and you can also jump to other areas and reach other narrow pathways if your timing is good. While what's going here is simple, but you'll see more complex uses of this gameplay mechanic later on.

The treasure room is in one of the underwater rooms with the bubbles, and winning it nets you a black flag.

The cork with the face and the glowing eyes will let out the water if you tackle it, and when that happens, the level is over.
