PrinceWatercress plays Taz-Mania (SMS) - Part 4 of 5

This level is a bit more maze-like compared to the others, and 1-Ups await those who go off the beaten path.

First | Previous | Next | End

Stage 4: Ruins

Taz escapes the cavern only to find himself in the ruins of a macabre looking building...

Don't be afraid! Remember, the giant seabird egg awaits you...!

Section 1

The mummies just move back and forth, as do the ghosts.

If you know where all the dead-ends are, you can find a few 1-Ups. This is true of not only section, but also the next. Also, you may have to do some wrap-around jumps just to get to where you need to go.

The cracked blocks can be broken with the spin attack.

Take small hops and then use the spin attack to get past the narrow pathways with the spikes on the floors and ceilings unharmed.

If a pit has black at the bottom, it's a bottomless pit. That means you're at the bottom of the level and you're also almost at the exit, too.

Section 2

The snakes from Stage 2 make a return here.

4:19 - The worst hitbox in the game.

At the end of the stage, spin attack the center block to avoid the spikes, then spin attack the block on the right to get to the exit (the rest lead to death).

Section 3

The boss here is a pair of witches. Take a short hop to avoid the projectiles, then move towards the witch on the lower level and spin attack. You'll be alternating between the witches as you do this, but you'll be damaging them, and after one goes down, the other will go down not long after that.
