In this level, we complete Elevator Hop before going back to make more use of the Grappling Hook.

First | Previous | Next | End

Now that we've got the elevators up and running after playing around with the control panel in the last video, we can drop down and collect our prize: a Pizza Planet token. You can now use the elevator platforms to get up and down the elevator shaft. The edges of the platforms go the rainbow route from red to purple and follow the "ROYGBIV" sequence, with red being the bottom platform and purple being the very top. When you see the black and yellow cylinders on the elevator cables, you'll know you're at the very top where the purple platform is.

By jumping between the two sets of platforms and getting to certain levels, you'll be able to get to certain parts of the level. There will be a boss battle at the top, and the start of the level will be at the bottom, but there are several parts in-between that are worth checking out.

The fourth mouse will be near the other shortcut switch that you can hit with the stomp that takes you up to the top. Also at the top is the boss. To defeat the Spider Gunro boss, you'll want to run around the room and turn around to shoot the spider. You'll want to avoid the flamethrower and the jump attack, and stay away from the webs that get shot around willy-nilly that will slow you down. You'll want to be quick with turning around and blasting the spider, because the spider is as quick as it is relentless. Thankfully, like other bosses, you don't have to worry about its health meter getting refilled if you die, so it's easy to get the Pizza Planet token for fighting this boss.

Also at that location will be the race challenge at the top. For the race challenge, you'll need to follow the token to the bottom of the shaft without falling into the pits. Thankfully, the pits are easy to identify by the yellow and black diagonal caution lines that you'll see. Just jump over the areas that have these lines and you'll get to the token with a couple of seconds to spare. Don't forget to pick the token up!

The fifth and final baby mouse will be in the elevator shaft, directly below where the control room is. You will definitely have to double jump from the elevator platforms in order to reach it.

The mother mouse is back at the control panel for the elevator, so you'll want to go back to her and get her Pizza Planet token. Also, Hamm will be in the electrical room from the beginning of the level where you had to go to get Mr. Potato Head's missing foot for the grappling hook and the rest of the level. At this point, their Pizza Planet tokens are the only ones left, and I end up grabbing both of them to complete the level.
