Kid me never completed this level. Adult me, on the other hand...
The Engine Room
This is where things start getting difficult.
You'll need a keycard to get to the exit. As you're looking for one, you'll need to activate a bridge and open the security door. There's also a dead humanoid in this area, too.
You'll start as the racing fox. Avoid the bear; you will not last against it and you will be destroyed. Instead, follow the bear around; you'll soon see the bear find and try to destroy a racing dog. You'll want to take control of this dog, then you'll want to destroy the bear as well as any computer terminals at the start. These terminals will contain power cells, and you'll need them out of the way at the start to grab a cube with the bear and place it in the red energy field nearby. As the bear, press A to grab a block when you're near it, then press A again with the block in your hand to drop it. Drop the block in the energy field and the platform with the dead professor above the lava pit will move to the edge of the pit. You'll be able to get the keycard.
You can attack with the B button with the bear, but the racing dog has much better range with the homing missiles, so you're better off using the dog if you need to attack anything...which you will still need to do.
The rats here are also enemies, and they are nasty. Fight them off as a dog, as they can not only bite you, but they also lay mines that do a lot of damage to anything that touches it. You'll also need to take control of a rat in order to go through some holes.
One of the paths has a huge lava pit near it that you don't want to fall in. On the way up, there is a switch you'll need to hit. Touching it to activate it activates the bridge.
There is a platform covered by a terminal. Destroying it will reveal two more Power Cells and a crate of energy, which you can push off the ledge in case you need more energy. Thankfully, there is a sheep in the level, and the sheep is the only way to access everything there.
Destroying all of the terminals in the level will net you a trophy. You'll need to play as the rat and enter a small tunnel that only the rat can enter to get the trophy, which looks like a golden computer terminal.
There is a path with two Power Cells that also had a bunch of clear-colored balls rolling back and forth. These balls will hit you if they roll into you, so you'll have to avoid them as you get to the other side, which has two bears and a rat that you'll need to take out. The rat is easy, but the bears? Not so much. You'll need to get in homing missile strikes with the dog, and you'll need to manually turn around to get away from them, as you'll be hiding behind the last rolling ball to get them to go away. Do not go in reverse to avoid the bears, as you'll more than likely touch the ball and lose as much health as you would have lost from a bear mauling.
Once you take out the bears and the rat, you can open the security door, which is one of the objectives...but now what? You've got a bunch of giant mines in the way! This is the part where you take control of the rat, who can not only move around them with some tight maneuvering. If you have the bridge animated, you can carefully get on the moving platform to clear the level.
