PrinceWatercress plays The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 3 - Part 10 of 18


The basement gives us some new puzzles and some pretty good music, but it also introduces a teleporting enemy. This could be trouble.


Welcome to the Basement! For some reason, the music here sounds like it sounds more in place in other Kemco games (or other games), but I do like it. Sounds more perilous than most of the music here.

The inside of the room have a heart-shaped frame compared to the other worlds.

Pepe Le Pew will be the slow-moving enemy, while Wile E. Coyote will be the one relentlessly chasing after you throughout the stages.

Little Ghost comes back as an enemy from the second game. He has a new enemy behavior: teleporting from one floor of the stage to to another, and it is always one above or one below. They can be a pain to deal with, because of this, and you may have to use a weapon against them.

The boots let you move faster for a very short amount of time. I end up not getting them most of the time, because you never have the boost of speed for very long at all and you can outwit all of the enemies without them if you play it smart.

Classic Game Room reviews E.V.O.: The Search For Eden


I'm surprised I haven't shared this here yet. It's Classic Game Room's review of EVO: The Search For Eden on Super Nintendo!

PrinceWatercress plays EVO: The Search For Eden - Part 7 of 14


As you can see, there is a lot that we can do in this chapter of the game. You can even become an airborne creature if you want!



Since the last video, I climbed to over 10,000 EVO Points. Not surprisingly, I upgrade the jaws, get smaller, and get the best tail.

Domain of Prime Frog


The second time around, you'll meet the boss: a giant brown frog who's pretty angry that you're in his domain.

Bite everything in sight, including the baby frogs that it sends after you, as they drop meat when you kill them. Each frog nets your 4 HP in addition to 10 EP, so if you need those last few EP to heal fully in case you come close to your untimely demise, these guys will help.

The boss will jump around and sends its own clones after you. That's it. Having the Tyrasaurus's Jaws will help, as you can land 20 HP per hit on this guy when he gets too close.

This boss is pretty easy compared to the others you've fought so far, and beating him (her?) will net you up to 2000 EP.

Domain of Tritops


Enter the area where you fought the boss one last time. It's the Triceratops's home now, and they'll definitely defend it with those big horns of theirs! Thankfully, killing one will net you 90 EP and heal 5 HP, which makes this the best farming ground so far this chapter.

The melons here also heal 5 HP, making this a decent healing spot, too.

Ocean of Plesusaurus


The dinosaurs around here give you 100 EVO Points! And the mollusks give you 500! Nice!

Also, the mollusks attack like the Trilobites in Chapter 1, except they have the potential to deal even more damage. Be careful when facing one of these things.

Mt. Brave


Watch out when facing the Pterodactyls, as they can pick you up, carry you off and drop you back down to the ground for damage (or out of the level). At least they give you 100 EP each when you kill them.

Instead of making your way to the right, you should make your way up instead. If you do that and making a running jump to the left, you'll get changed to a bird form. While it's nice, you'll have to power yourself up all over again So you'll have to head all the way left to exit the level. There, you've cleared Mt. Brave.

There is a cloud that moves around on the map, and if you can somehow get to it with the bird form, you'll end up in the River of Asteroid (Map by Tropicon), which is an optional cloud maze. If you can somehow get through it, you'll get a hint that aliens are bringing crystals onto the planet...something that isn't mentioned in the game until later. (thanks FailureBiWinning)

Domain of Pronesaurus


These guys leave 200 EP when you kill one? Well, shucky ducky quack quack quack, this just keeps getting better!

If you don't kill them in one hit, they'll try to hit you with a well-animated spinning attack. Thankfully, the Tyrasaurus Jaws can do an insta-kill.

Still, that's pretty well-animated.

Domain of Omosaurus


Hey, dinosaurs of the two-legged variety!

The dead rats heal you slightly, believe it or not.

Anyway, the Omosaurs try to run up to you and bite you. If your jaws are at their most powerful, you can take them down in a mere two hits. These guys also leave 200 EP each.

Domain of Tyrosaurus


I guess these guys are supposed to be Tyrannosaurus Rex. I can't tell.

Anyway, do not join these guys unless you wanted to be taken out of the area and shown your horrible future death at the hands of meteorites.

These guys are as easy as the Omosaurs were, and they leave 250 EP apiece. They also heal 27 HP, which is pretty generous. The thing is, you need plenty of hit points and plenty of defense, and you'll need to learn how to move in order to keep from getting hit: strike, then back away.

It's kinda hard to write things for the stages in this game compared to previous games, because the challenge isn't there like it used to be.

There are a lot of warp tiles on Stage 29. The one near the exit is going to take you to all the areas that you can't get to normally.

With Stage 30, there are a ton of warps and pipes. It's a good thing that you can pause the game, move the screen around with the D-Pad and see where the pipes will take you, at the very least.

PrinceWatercress plays EVO: The Search For Eden - Part 6 of 14


In this entry, we play around with our vast evolution options, fight new enemies and save a baby Triceratops.


Since last video, I bulk up a bit on EVO Points for better jaws, a dorsal fin, a better tail and the Ptenodon's Crest.


Domain of Polsaurus


Well, we have a better shot of surviving now.

Domain of Syrocosaurus


There's a Triceratops at the beginning. Oh, snap. Thankfully, this Triceratops has something else on her mind. Her child is missing and she wants you to leave her alone. As long as you move to the right and don't attack her, you're good.

Doamin of Brosasaurus

You spell "domain" right every other time, but you can't do it here? What's with you, Enix?

*facepalm*

Domain of Brosasaurus


Well, this guy's eating a tree. I think I'll hit this guy and see if he does anything. No? Okay, chow down. Wait, he moved and then he whacked me with his head like he was doing a uppercut and now he's mad and he's doing 2 or 3 damage apieFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

If you have the Tyrasaurus's Jaws, you can kill these guys in a mere three hits. At 80 EP, this is an even better place to farm for EP once you get the most powerful jaws for this chapter. Just be sure to back away after you bite them.

Domain of Prasauro


More plant eaters. Yay.

If you have the Tyrasaurus' Jaws, these guys are a one hit kill for an easy 50 EP. A nice alternate farming area if you need one.

If you don't kill them in one shot, they will let out a yell that does a little bit of damage if you don't kill them in time.

Domain of Segosaurus


That's better. You'll get 80 EP a pop from each Stegosaurus you kill, and the Tyrasaurus' Jaws will also one-shot them.

Domain of Prime Frog


Oh, snap! There's the Triceratops' kid, and those frogs are basically making his life miserable! Chase after them and hit them if you want, then head to the right. If you come back, you'll face a boss. Have plenty of EVO Points when you return.

Domain of Syrocosaurus

If you come back here after going to Domain of Prime Frog, the baby Syracosaurus will be back with its mother. You'll hear about the legend of Mt. Brave, where a dinosaur climbed to the summit and given the chance to become a new creature.

I experiment with evolution here. I eventually end up going back to four legs due to the difficulties of being completely upright.

PrinceWatercress plays EVO: The Search For Eden - Part 5 of 14


In this entry, we enter the age of dinosaurs and evolve even further.



I have a load more EVO points since the last video. They're going to be useful for the boss battle coming up.

Desert Time Trans


Megausu will come back and tell you that you should have listened. He then sends Queen Bee after you. She's pretty ticked off at you for beating her husband, and wants to destroy you herself.

Her main attack is her diving bite attack. It can take quite a bit of HP off, making her able to kill you in a mere two hits. Her stinger doesn't fire as fast though, but it still kinda hurts.

There is a pattern to follow. Jump at her and bite when he dives down, and get away when he flies back up. Avoid the stingers (running and jumping helps with this very much) she shoots out, then get ready for her to dive again. She'll always repeat the "dive, fly up and shoot three times" pattern, so she's actually easier than the video makes her out to be.

For best results, keep the Queen Bee in the center...and don't run towards her when she's up in the air to shoot those stingers at you, or else you're definitely going to get hit. Just like the King Bee, not standing below her between the diving bite attack and the stinger shots also helps.

When you beat the Queen Bee, you'll get 2000 EP. Now that the Amphibians have the upper hand again, evolution will be able to progress as normal and the plants can grow again. You'll then lose all your EP again...and you'll become a reptile. Once again, you're weak and ugly. That'll change soon enough, though.

Time for the next age! Gaia will also tell you that King Bee found out about a crystal, and that 
the crystal makes whoever has it bigger in size. Gaia has a strange feeling about this...

Chapter 3: Age of Dinosaurs

200~65 Million Years B.C.


Door to Dina Continent


Well, here we are.

The yellow crystal will tell you about the wonders of experimenting with evolution in this age. You can have either two legs or four. Two legs let you jump higher, while four-legged creatures have higher defense but your jumping ability will be limited. Shortly after, you'll hear whispers about how many reptiles have challenged Mt. Brave...and how whoever makes it up there will usher in another new age.

Marsh of Prime Frog


The frogs will run away and try to hit you with their tongues, but they're pretty weak.

Marsh of Amphibians


Well, the Bull Ikustega have evolved a little bit (and overtaken the Timid Ikustega), but they're still not any stronger. They have become worried because reptiles have eaten all the plants. They should really be worried about you.

Domain of Tecodonto


If you can catch up with any of the Tecodonto here and bite them, be sure to move under them when they try to jump on you in retaliation.

The caterpillars here do a good job of healing you, but you probably won't need them...not yet, anyway.

Domain of Polsaurus


The Polsaurs charge...into each other. Nope, nothing threatening there. They're kinda like the headbutting dinosaurs from the Super Nintendo version of Jurassic Park (whose name escapes me right now). They can charge into you if they don't have a buddy nearby, though.

Even in your initial form, you can kill them in one hit. They're extremely weak, making the Domain of Polsaurus a nice grinding spot. You won't have any problems moving left and right here, 20 EP at a time.

PrinceWatercress plays The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 3 - Part 8 of 18


It took the whole video, but we got out of Stage 28.


This whole video is spent in Stage 28. Once again, the upper-left corner of the stage is the hardest part, due to the Up tiles nearby absolutely cursed every time I used it. (Thanks for using it when I didn't expect you, Sylvester.) Good thing you can pause the game and use the D-Pad to look around to see where everyone is in times like this, right?

At least I slowly keep my numbers of lives constant and even bring it up a little bit as I keep trying and failing here. That's the main thing.
