DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 8 of 9

We finally beat up the guy that kidnapped our protagonist's girlfriend! Yay!

Channel 5 Boss


The bulldog boss is evil. He flies on one of the screen and moves up and down to line up perfectly with you, and shoots bullets when you're in range. Any special weapon you got at the store makes sense here, really: the Twin Shot gives you range, the Mace give you stronger hits and the Bomb can hit him multiple times if you can hit him with it at the right moment. The Jet Shoes aren't too bad either, you just might be able to get some shots in if you're farther away from him than you'd like to be.

The bullets can be defeated with the Punch Glove, but the bombs cannot. He'll also switch sides every so often, so be on the lookout for when he does that.

When you do enough damage, you'll knock him out of the Earth and straight to the moon! Willy and Jill will embrace, and the credits will roll.

Well, hope you enjoyed this one.

Yep, hope you did.

I'll show the epilogue next time.

Yes, it will be related to the game, unlike the intermission.

Channel X 


You seriously thought this was the end?

The bulldog boss will challenge you to a rematch, and you'll have to reach him first before you can get to it. Even worse, all your money is gone...and so are your items! And if you lose all your lives, forget going to the shop...the game won't let you!

The first section here is vertical. It should remind you of the first vertical section in Channel 1. Shouldn't be too hard, except there are now dogs shooting guns from pipes and more of those flasher mice.

The second section teleports you to the conveyor belt section of Channel 3. Use the punch glove to get over the spikes by punching down and to the left, since it's the [b]only[/b] thing you can do. If you can launch yourself off one of the green dogs on the pogo sticks, that helps out a lot, too.

The third section is a vertical section with the Channel 4 theme going on. If it doesn't look like any other section from the game, especially from Channel 4, that's because it's actually not from anywhere else in the game. You'll have to alternate between launching yourself off the wall with the Punch Glove and swinging from the tree branches if you have any hope of continuing.

DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 7 of 9

Just when you thought the game couldn't be any more inappropriate when Jill screams your name out...

Section 16 starts with a walk on a pipe across a pit. After swinging off a few water wheels, get on the next pipe and use the jet shoes to get across the spikes.

You'll then fight the bad guy's right hand man, Mr. Kong.

To defeat him, you'll have to get between his legs (yes, you can stand there)...and...oh, boy...

You hit him with the Mace in the fucking crotch.

Seriously, could this game be any more weird and unintentionally inappropriate?

Anyway, hit him in the crotch and stay between his legs when he's at the center of the screen. Avoid the bananas that fall from the sky periodically, too. Thankfully, they only fall at two locations - both ends of the screen. When he drops his hands, be ready to jump as he'll throw some Maces of his own!

After enough hits, he runs away.

Section 18 is more sewers. Yeesh, enough already! Once you get to the pipe at the top of the screen, stay at the top of the screen and use the jet shoes to get around the long gaps. You'll see a one up above a crocodile; jump down off the pipe, let the crocodile bounce you up and grab onto the pipe with the punch glove to get back to the top.

After this, you finally meet the bad guy.

DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 6 of 9

Can this level be any longer?

Section 9 is a vertical jumping section where you climb up a building with your punch glove. Now that's more like it! Thankfully, you can hit the side of the screen you're near to more easily place yourself on the windowsills.

You'll fight the boss from Channel 4 again. Once you beat him, a spring will fall from the sky. Jumping on it takes you to some sort of amusement park again.

Section 10 is pretty simple, and Section 11 is more of less like a harder version of part of Channel 3, what with the floating dog head bouncing off the sides of the screen like a ping-pong ball.

You'll fight the Channel 2 boss again. He's a little easier this time, now that you have the Twin Shot. Hit him with the Mace, and switch to the Twin Shot if you destroy all the hands. Easy, right?

Section 13 is a little different. You'll be walking on conveyor belts that push you in the opposite directions while avoiding crushers shaped liked the flattened upper half of a dog's face. You can kill them with the Spiked Ball if you need to, but you can also stun them (especially with the Twin Shot).

You'll fight the Channel 2 mini-boss again, and this time you won't feel so claustrophobic. Hit him with the Twin Shot!

Section 14 is dark when there are no candles on-screen. The boulders especially suck here, since they do a heart and a half worth of damage. Do yourself a favor and equip the Mace, so you can destroy everything in sight with a single blow.

Leap into the hole, and it's Clown Dog Show-Time! Clap Clap! time again.

Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat.

Sorry, it was the only thing I could think of.

DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 5 of 9

Boss rush show time Clap! Clap!

The fifth second starts out simple enough, but then you'll have to make some odd jumps that involve looking back and punching the wall. A mine cart will then fall from the sky and you'll be taking a ride on it. Punch out enemies, duck under the ceiling spikes, and jump over the spiked balls.

The sixth section has you on the mine cart. Again. Most of the enemies are either fish that jump out of waterfalls or dogs riding vultures. If you can time your jump right at the end of the track, you can get a 1-Up.

The first new enemy you see after this is some sort of small, purple dog in a striped muscle shirt that takes three hits to kill unless you have the spiked ball.

Channel 4 Boss


Geez, does just about everyone in this game wear a hat?

Anyway, hit the eagle with the Twin Shot so that it drops the rock without dropping it on you. Keep on hitting it and don't let it touch you, and duck when it doesn't show up with a rock unless you want the eagle to dive right into you.

Thankfully, he doesn't get any harder than that.

Channel 5 - I Love New York!


All right! You're back in the big city!

The first section has a lot of enemies that you've seen before, such as the poodles throwing flower pots and the red dogs in the hats. One of the new ones here is a dog in a white suit that walks around like Michael Jackson, but the spiked ball makes quick work of him. Be sure to avoid the vents in the ground when steam comes out of them.

The second section is kinda short, but when the light turns green, the ground will be swarmed with dogs on scooters like the ones you saw in Channel 3. Your best bet it to get to the right side of the area as quickly as possible.

The third section is just more of the same. The dog that shoots bullets from Channel 1 is back.

The fourth section is vertical. The main enemies to worry about here are the dogs that blend into the walls and the floating dog head that usually appears at the bottom of the screen like a cancer that won't go away. As long as you use the regular glove instead of the spiked one to get higher and bounce off the walls to destroy the neon dogs, you're fine.

You'll fight the Channel 1 Boss after this. This time around, he's faster and does more damage (and as you'll see, so are the rest of the bosses). You can use the Twin Shot to make him look painlessly easy. Just watch out for those falling lighting rigs...they fall faster, too!

Section 6 takes place in the park. Drop into the manhole, and you'll enter section 7...the sewers. You'll fight off mice that open their coats and shoot hats at you as they expose themselves. Ugh, flasher mice. When you reach the wall, jump onto the top of it, equip the Jet Boots, and float all the way to the right so you can easily reach the pipe that takes you to Section 8.

Here, swing off the water switches to reach the other side. If you're good enough, you can grab the Heart to fully refill your health. Once there, you'll reach the Channel 3 boss. Same strategy as before, but you'll have to be quick!

DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 4 of 9

Clown-dog show time Clap! Clap!

Channel 3 Boss


Equip the Twin Shot and hit the white dog face with it as you avoid his projectiles. This first part really isn't that hard at all, since he does the same pattern again and again until you hit him enough times.

The second part of this battle is also deceptively simple. He rolls around the room, then stops. When he stops, plaster him with the Twin Shot as you dodge his projectiles. He'll roll around the room, lather, rinse, repeat.

The mace is stronger, but you have to get slightly closer...close enough to be hit by the projectiles. You choose: speed or safety. The bomb power-up also works well.

Channel 4: Western Adventure


The first section is pretty straightforward. The only thing worth noting here is that the guys in the hats can only be hurt when they aren't hiding in their headgear.

The second section is also easy, if you know how to defeat some of the enemies without accidentally falling down a pit.

The mini-boss here is an Indian chieftain dog with two purple guys performing some sort of rain dance ritual below him. Hitting the purple guys only freezes them for a second. Try to focus as much of your attacks as you can on the chieftain, and don't let the rain and wind blow you in the pit.

The third section is just more of the same. More moving and hitting enemies while punching the ground to get higher in one part.

The fourth section has you dropping down again. Attack the bats, avoid the spikes and swing your way to victory!

DeceasedCrab plays Rockin' Kats (New York Nyankies) - Part 3 of 9

This amusement park is not amusing. At all. Just sayin'.

Basketball


Launch yourself into the hoop you want and hope for the best. You have thirty seconds to make a shot, and you get two shots.

You can make a profit on this if you're good enough, so practice definitely makes perfect on this bonus stage. At $25 a game, it's worth giving a few attempts and experimenting to figure out how to jump into the right hoop at the right moment.

Pipe Toss


Grab the ball that drops from the left side of the screen with your glove and toss it into one of the pipes. Whichever pipe you successfully toss it through, you get the money amount signified on the side of the pipe. You can make up to eight successful tosses in the thirty-second time limit.

This game is expensive, at $100 a pop. But it's fun.

Channel 3: Playland


It's an amusement park this time around...and it's definitely not amusing.

The first section is another simple side-scrolling section. The Chinese pandas that spin plates spin them directly at you, as the plates home in on your position. Some of the posts with the dog heads will look directly at you and spit projectiles in your direction. Punch the eyes to turn those back to normal. You can swing off of the bells of the strongman posts, but there's not much point.

The cylindrical platforms with the hole at the top spit out black spiked balls when you're near them, so be careful as you progress across them.

The second section of the game is a graveyard. It's supposed to be a fun house, but there's definitely no fun in this level...just a bunch of dogs that want you dead.

The witches fly around and throw sparkles that can damage you. The ghost dogs follow you not only horizontally but vertically. Thankfully, they go down after one hit.

The mini-boss here is a ghost dog head. It will fly towards you in an attempt to attack you, so stay away from it as you keep hitting it. Every once in a while, it will stay in the center for a second before it splits into four miniature ghost dogs. Stay in the center and none of them can hurt you. Once you've hit the mini-boss enough times, you can continue on to the next section.

The third section is more side-scrolling. You have skunks that try to kill you with their stench, gators that act as platforms for a brief second before they try to eat you, and pools of water blocking your path. After a lot of bouncing around and hanging off platforms, you'll have to deal with turrets with angry bullets and dogs on roller coaster cars.

The fourth section is vertical. You'll have to keep your footing on conveyor belts as you swing from platform to platform and make it to the door at the top.

The fifth section is just like the second section in Sky Ace. You'll be hitting (and avoiding) more plate-spinning pandas and birds before you get dropped off at a castle.

You'll be going nowhere but down in the sixth section. The bats here spit out smaller bats that fly towards you, so hit all the bats!
