Free fall! When starting the
game, your character will
immediately be falling from the
sky. Well, not really the
sky...a door's up
there...somehow. Ever wonder how
they come up with this stuff?
The first thing you need to do
is just let your character fall.
There'll be a door at the end of
the free fall. Simply press up
to enter it and go into the next
area.
Now we can start the classic
side scrolling. You'll notice
weeds sticking out of the
ground. That's the
thing...there's weeds
everywhere! Your character can
pull them out and throw them at
enemies, and sometimes special
things can be pulled out of the
ground.
Proceed right until you approach
a vine. Jump on it and climb it
by pressing up. When you get to
the top, make sure to avoid the
Blue Shy Guy and pick the first
weed to the right. Remember
those special things? Well,
here's one of them: a Potion.
Once thrown, a Potion will
create a magical door which
alters the world for a short
period of time. Inside the
altered world there are
Mushrooms to increase health and
all the weeds turn into coins
for bonuses at the end of
levels.
Throw the potion to your left
and enter the door. Quickly grab
the Mushroom and then pick the
vegetables to get some coins.
Keep heading right...avoiding
the enemies should be nothing -
they're just walking around on
the ground. You'll notice
cherries along the way - getting
5 will cause a Star to appear.
There'll also be a POW Block
which will destroy all the
enemies on the ground in the
immediate area.
Keep going right. You can jump
on the logs falling from the
waterfalls, or you can jump and
hold the button because
Toadstool is the one character
that can float for a period of
time. Head right and you'll see
a door. However, there's a
shortcut. See the little
bouncing enemy behind the 2 Shy
Guys? He's a Tweeter and is
going to help us...jump on him
and hold down till your
character glows. When holding
down and when your character
starts to glow, he or she is
ready to do a high jump. Jump
when glowing to get higher lift.
So, you're on Tweeter and
glowing. Well, wait until jumps
and then use your high jump.
You'll be catapulted to the
higher piece of land. See the
door? You would have come
through there without the
shortcut.
Proceed right for a bunch of
weeds. The first weed is a
Potion, and you need to throw it
near the bundle of weeds to get
a bunch of coins. Once you've
gathered up the coins, climb the
vine to reach the next little
area.
From here on out, it's a climb
to the top. Use the enemies to
get to high ground or use the
glow jump. There'll be a vine
leading to more vines. Simply
climb them all to reach the
final area of the first level.
Head right and you'll see a pink
enemy waiting for you. This is
Birdo. Birdo is the "boss" in
every level, except boss levels.
This one is pink, which means
something, but not until later
on.
Defeating Birdo is no problem.
When he opens his mouth, he'll
blast out an egg. Jump on it and
pick it up. Then, you just need
to throw it at him. 3 hits and
Birdo will be gone, spitting out
a crystal. When you pick it up,
which you need to, the hawk at
the right will open his mouth.
This guy is called Hawkmouth,
and he's the exit to every
level. Why? Good
question...entering a hawk's
mouth is kind of out there...
If you got coins, you'll get to
play bonus slots. If not, you
just move onto the next level. |
