Kid me would have been simultaneously excited to see this level and frustrated at not knowing what to do.

Fat Bear Mountain

In this level, you'll have to deal with bears...again. You'll have to destroy them along with all of the angry animals, then flood the sheep dip pool.

You start as the racing mouse. Destroy the crates, but don't grab the energy yet; save them for just in case you need them. As you make your way through the path, you'll find a Sheep. You'll want to destroy it, because you'll need to use it later.

Holding Z will put the camera behind yourself. With the button held, you can use the Control Stick to move the camera and look around. I don't use this very often.

Eventually, as you look around in the places where you can go as a racing mouse, you'll find a racing dog with the missiles equipped. Avoid it and go up the ramps with the left, and use your turbo boost to get past the ramps with the gaps. Hit the switch to open the door leading to a cave, which also has a bear inside. Go in, get the bear to chase you, then get out of there and zoom past the racing dog to get them both to fight each other. Let the bear kill the dog, then take control of the dog and destroy the bear. While you can stick and move with the missiles, stand near the tree close to where you first saw the dog and shoot missiles from there. The bear won't be able to see you, and you can blast it when it is nearby. Congratulations, you just got rid of the angry animals and cleared one of the missions. From there, take control of the bear and stand on the switch in the cave. This will turn on the tap and flood the sheep dip pool. Now you can exit.

From here, take control of the dog again. There is a snowy mountain top with two sheep and a ram. You'll need to destroy the sheep and the ram. From here, you'll be able to get to the mountain top uninhibited. To get the Power Cell on the cloud, you'll need to float to it with a sheep; this will allow you to float to other Power Cells in the level as well as the trophy.

In one part of the level, there are three switches. You'll need to have them all pulled down at once to get the trophy, which is a golden faucet. Unfortunately, the levers never stay pulled down for long. To beat the system, you'll need to bring two sheep and the racing dog to the switches. Place two sheep on top of two pressed switches, then hit a third with the racing dog. Amazingly, you can use just one sheep on one of the side switches, then quickly press the other two as the racing dog, which is what I did. Regardless of what you do, the trophy will show up.

If you try to pick it up, however, the game doesn't let you. This is because of a glitch in the game in a flag that tells the game to consider the trophy collected whenever you run into it is turned off. Thankfully, I'm playing the game with a patch that turns that flag back on, which you can find here. (When the game was ported to PS1 as Evo's Adventures, this glitch was fixed.)

To get to the exit, just jump on the faucet near the sheep dip pool as a sheep, then float to the transporter. The game expects you to do by just moving into the blocks while in the water as a sheep to turn them into makeshift platforms, but by jumping and floating from the faucet as a sheep, you can skip that entirely.
