In this video, we start exploring Wonderland in an attempt to return home. After finding some lost items, we start making some headway.
First | Next | End
When you finally wash ashore in Wonderland, a good amount of the game will be in a Zelda-like overhead perspective. You can move in eight directions with the D-Pad, and holding B will allow you to run. You can still jump with the A button, even though it admittedly feels a tad different compared to the side-scrolling sections, of which there will still be a few.
The pencil birds are enemies and can be defeated with a jump attack, although I leave them alone simply because I can.
The Brush Dog will whisk you away to a bonus area if you talk to him while you have 100 stars in your possession, which is replaced with the sprite of the White Rabbit running. I'll mention the bonus areas when the time comes, although the Brush Dog does mention that you will have to race the White Rabbit.
By walking up to signs, you can read them. The arrow signs will take you to the four stages of Wonderland that you will have to enter and clear before you can enter the final one, and each sign will tell you which one you are approaching. Just keep going in the direction of the sign, and you'll eventually enter that stage.
You'll also see some NPC's that you can talk to just by approaching them like you did with the signs. If you talk to them, they will ask you if you have seen a specific item. You'll need to play through the first four stages and find the items within in order to help these people recover their lost items. Thankfully, the NPC's do mention where they last had their missing item.
The rose will mention that she left her conducting wand with the Tweedles.
The man near the Tweedles' stage is missing his hammer, and you will find it in the Caterpillar Woods.
The Dodo near the Rabbit's house has lost his handkerchief, and you will find it at the tea party.
The Walrus has lost his cane, and you will find it at the Rabbit's house.
Since I have nothing better to do, I head to the Tea Party first.
Tea Party
At the start, go left, and watch out for enemies. You'll meet a new enemy in the spider, which will drop down when you get close enough. Watch the top of the screen for spiders, and jump on them after they drop all the way down. This area is a great place to stock up on stars for all of the bonus areas, and I take advantage of that for the later videos in this Let's Play.
When you go all the way to the left, you'll end up at the tea party. The Mad Hatter will be close to where you enter from, and he will tell you that you'll need biscuits in order for the dormouse to come to the party; without the biscuits, you won't be able to do anything here. Nevertheless, I do look around for more stars, and I run into other characters from the movie such as the Marsh Hare.
Since you don't have any biscuits, you won't be able to do much here besides collect all of the stars in the area and then leave. The gates here will automatically be open, and on your way out, you'll find the Dodo's handkerchief.
Back at the overworld, hand the handkerchief over to the Dodo to get the Tweedles' hats. With these hats in your inventory, you'll be able to complete the Tweedles' stage.
The Tweedles
The entrance to the Tweedles' stage is south of where you met the Dodo.
When you see a group of stars at the start, there will be an enemy shortly after it. Also, the last foreground tree before the exit into the overhead section will also hide an enemy.
The overhead section is a maze. You need to make it all the way to the north, but you also need to avoid the Tweedles and their many clones along the way. Watch where the Tweedles are going, and be sure to avoid them.
The big hopping pairs of glasses are also enemies, and much like the pencil birds, you can also jump on them to defeat them.
Along the way, you'll find a dead end near the end that leads to the conducting wand. By handing this to the rose, you'll get the Rabbit Key, which you'll need to unlock the Rabbit's house.
At the end of the maze, go right before going up for the last star in the maze so you can get all your health back.
You'll then face the Tweedles in a boss fight. Wait for the Tweedles to land on the ground before jumping on them. The power-ups that you got in the battle against the clock on the way to Wonderland will also show up here, and you can use them against the Tweedles. When you jump on the Tweedles' heads enough times, you'll get the Heart Medal. You'll need the four medals to enter the final stage and return home to beat the game.
Bonus Level 1
After completing this level with 100 stars, we end up doing the bonus area as soon as we leave.
For the Rabbit Maze, go through the middle first. Cut left, then go all the way to the right and follow the path. At the fork in the road, take the left path and keep going. Stay to the left as you keep going north, and the path will soon be easier to follow. Take the center or right paths at the end to reach the finish line. The White Rabbit is fast, but he will continually follow the wall at times, which gives you a chance to get ahead of him as long as you keep moving and always hold the B button.
When you reach the finish line first, talk to the Broom Dog back in the overworld. The Broom Dog will take you to a secret area. The duck-like creatures with the horn-like faces will act as trampolines when you jump on them while you are big. You'll need to touch the mushrooms to change your size and get some of the stars, as some of them can only be collected when you're small.
Near the end, there is another teapot that you need to collect. Thankfully, it is very easy to get to, and even if you're small when you're at the end, you're not kept from getting it before you leave.
If you pause with the Start button, you'll see how many stars you have, what medals you have and what items you have.
