PrinceWatercress plays The Grinch (PS1) - Part 14 of 22


In this entry, we finally explore the inside of the power plant. Also, Windows decides to mess with newly applied (at the time) in-system noise reduction settings regarding the microphone. That gets fixed before next time.


Be sure to check the bottom of the power plant before making your way up for Nitro Eggs, rotten eggs, and giftboxes.

The guys with the shock sticks will shock the metal floors if given the chance. You'll need to hit them with the Slime Shooter and get up to them to hit them with the bad breath attack before they shock the floor and do a lot of damage. Remember that they will jump around when you aim at them with the Binoculars and the Slime Shooter.

Some of the climbable walls will be electrified. You can slime the walls with the Slime Shooter and slime a portion of the wall so that you can climb straight up. The slime will dissipate after a while, so you'll want to get up the wall pronto. Also, if you have to backtrack, jump off the edge in case there's an electrified wall below; just dropping down will get you shocked.

The Slime Shooter can also be used to take out the cameras. This will ensure safe passage through some doorways.

The sentry robots are back. Take them out with Nitro Eggs.

Shoot the green buttons with the Rotten Egg Launcher to turn them red and turn off the generators. There are four generators in all, you'll turn off all the power in Whoville and complete one of the missions. You'll also unlock the Grinch Copter blueprint piece at the bottom, although you'll be forced to the exit and then forced to re-enter once you shut off all four generators. You'll also unlock a shortcut to the central dump next to the Mount Crumpit vacuum tube so you don't have to take the long way back and forth.

Some green buttons will deactivate power lines, and you'll want to shoot those buttons to deactivate the lines so you can shimmy across when necessary. If you don't see the button immediately, look around in the immediate vicinity; you'll find the button eventually.

For some reason, the frame rate chugs in certain spots, especially if you don't have all the generators shut off.
