You've been tasked to find Pecky and convince him to sponser the Village re-construction. Pecky is a rich kid and pretty spoiled as well, so convincing him will be anything but easy... but here's the plan: Take a walk beyond the Spinach Caverns and you'll soon see a big house. The house contains exquisite statues, furniture and elaborate decorations but heh, you're here for a mission! Talk to the puppet looking guy in the middle and you'll soon learn that you have to make him laugh.

Alright, its time to put on your different hats and masks. The right one that will make him laugh is your "gas mask". I always thought the Vampire Kit is funnier... Just when you think that's all to it, Pecky tells you that he is bored and needs to do something else, play a game in fact. Duh! Parin has to play along... The floor is transformed into a game area and this time, he wants you hit the moles as they come out and disappear into the ground. This is like those games you play at the arcades where you have to hammer the heads as they pop out.

Alright, you have 1 minute and the target is 50 hits! Who else but Doug and his brother, Digby are the targets! 50 seems a lot initially as those moles can run pretty quick. But you do not have to hit them just once, you can hit them multiple times even as they dig into the ground. Just stay in 1 area (do not chase them) and wait for 1 or 2 of them to come around you and start smashing away. Once you get your 50, Pecky will give in and agree to go to Monster Village right away.

Head back to the village and Puku and his friends will thank you for bringing Pecky back. Pecky himself has plans to bring the moles to rebuild the village.

Now head into town and you'll realise some more strange things happening. Pamela accuses you of stealing cakes and increasing the price of supplies in town. You talk to Chucky and he calls you a liar. Disk claims to have seen you again and Fan claims that you sneak into her shop to steal cakes! Looks like someone has been impersonating you around Town! hmmm.... Parin will need to get to the bottom of this!

More surprises awaits you in town as Doug and Digby arrives at the village claiming to have seen you with Pino in the mountains. Pino is with an imposter! Puku suspects a shape-shifting monster and you'll have to help find the culprit. Looks like its time for you to find some action again!

You've mastered 2 of the Prince's servants and breezed through the Spinach Caverns. The Prince shows himself again at the Ancient Lagoon and mocked you once again. The last missing friend Chucky is in captive here and only you, Parin can save him! But you've got to get past Roger the Gay Fish first! :)

After the cut scene with the Prince, proceed forward until you see the next cut scene. When Parin tries to save Chucky, Roger bursts out of the waters to confront Parin. He is certainly much bigger than before. After a Land and Air encounter, its no surprise that the next battle zobe is going in the waters. You do not need your goggles just yet (though it might be advisable) as you can stand on the platform in the middle.

The cut scene ends with you standing in the middle. If you have a vampire hat, wear it so that you can regain loss blood. Roger appears as in the picture above and this is his most vulnerable position. Run towards him until you see the attacking bubble. Once you see it, keep on performing targetted attacks (jump + X, see red circle, jump X continuously)! This way, you stay in mid air and avoid any attacks that he throw at you! As soon as he splashes out of the water, control your stick to return to the middle platform. Roger will crash back into the waters and swim around the platform. From time to time, he will perform his spinning attack by jumping out of the water and spinning (towards you) over the platform, avoid by either going to 1 side of the platform or making a dash.

When he gets stationery, he performs 1 of 2 types of phasor attacks. Either he shoots in 5 directions towards you or 5 separate times, each in your direction. Either way, learn to side step these attacks.

Here, Attack is the best form of defence and all you really need are those targetted attacks. These will go on until Roger's life is midway. Now he will proclaim, "No more Mr. Nice Fish!" and destroy the middle platform. Change to your goggles! He will now spin instead of swim the same path around the platform (which is no longer there), do not go too close to him. With your goggles, you can linger in the waters until he comes to a halt, and more importantly, you can avoid his attacks as well! New attacks include Sun Burn, where he concentrates onto a spot in the water (see right picture) and one where he emits a force-field electromagnetic wave-like attack (semi-circle). Swim away to avoid the first, and stay under to avoid the second.

Eventually, you'll get your catch. I actually rate him easier than the previous 2. Get your life gem and watch the next cut scene.

You'll realise that Chucky is slightly deaf as he misunderstands everything that you say. Puku turns up to thank you for saving all the monsters and ask you to return to the village... When you return, the villagers are preparing for a meeting and Puku reveals that while the rebuilding of the village is going just fine, they need more cash and a rich sponser. Parin mentions Pecky. Pecky lives in a house near to the Ancient Lagoon at Spinach Caverns. You are to go there and convince him to sponser the village... Meanwhile, explore the town and you'll find something fishy going on. First, Chucky is in a crooked position at the middle of the stairs, and everyone seems to say that they have just seen you... hmm... hold that thought. :)

First up you come to that wierd looking Skull-face signpost again, not 1 but 7 of them. Apparantly, it is somekind of puzzle that you will need to solve to get through. The one in front asks for the password while the rest provides the clues. Apparantly the password might change during the game so you will need to learn and study the clues. You can write the clues down just like the following...

1) The only one that mentions first part is the top right one corner skull. It says that the first part is to his front and side, which points to the letter 'S'
2) From 'S', the skull says that the next part is to my front... pointing to 'T'
3) From 'T', the skull says that the next part ot to hte forward left... pointing to 'I'
4) From 'I', the skull says that the next part is 2 spaces over, 2 spaces to his left is the letter 'L'
5) From 'L', the skull says that the next part is to his front, and that is also 'L'
6) So you have 'L', piece them together and you get 'S' 'T' 'I' 'L' 'L' - password: STILL.

Follow the sequence and you can solve the puzzle with any password. However, if you wanna be lazy, or am feeling rich, you can keep speaking to the skull in front until he gives you a clue for $1000. Prompt him further and he will actually reveal the password!

Right at the entrance, you will see 2 jars, continue on and 2 more jars line the step below. The hallway opens up to quite huge and you can see all the way across the vast room. In fact, Kilometer Path is again the exact replica of Nanometer Shrine backwards! Look to your left and you will see a very long hallway and a phantom at the end of it. If you step down, the phantom sets off a trap (see pic on the left)! 5 balls of spikes will come up and down the hallway... If you wait awhile, the balls will come and go at different speeds after a while and you can navigate your way easier then.

Pass those balls and approach the phantom, he will make a dash through a little hole in the wall. Its a weak wall so smash through it! From the edge here, you will see the phantom waiting below, on your left, you see a lever. Drop down and the phantom once again runs further below. With him is 2 other phantoms carefully hidden just below the step. Get down there and kill all 3 of them! Now head towards that lever you saw and pull it. It will open the gate on the opposite side of the room.

Head back pass those spike balls. Once safely atop the platform, look right to see a chest. You can't quite jump to it yet. But try anyway and you will fall down below where you will find a statue hiding a lever and a weak wall (see left). Smash the wall for coins and the statue so that you can pull the lever. A blue platform will appear before the lever. Ascend the platform towards the chest and grab your goodie! Its a cookie! Head towards the exit, clear those pesky red spiders along the way...

In the next room, do not jump down first. Take a while to notice that the platform below is a scene taken out directly from a James Bond movie! haha! Laser traps! You can't use "square" dash across these, so if possible, take your time to navigate through. Even if you get zapped here a few times, the ladder ahead brings you to a healing portal!

From the healing portal, turn to your left, beware when you enter the next room, there are 3 cannons from the corners blasting across the room. Charge your drill before going in, head left immediately and destroy the cannon at that corner. Follow the perimeter of the room clockwise and destroy the other 2 cannons. You may want to recharge your health before pulling the lever in the middle of the room.

Pulling the lever not only opens up the gate in this room, it also attracts the attention of 3 kung-fu phantoms! Attack them with charged up drill and then perform 1 or 2 tornado drill attacks and they will all perish. Beyond the gate is a weak wall which will need to be drilled into to get access into the next room.

The next room may look familiar to you, short gates lined your path at both sides and huge rocks are at the other side of these gates and ahead of you is the exit. When you approach the exit, 2 lovebirds phantoms come into the room and notice you. Again, these are not that difficult and a few combination attacking moves will do it. There's a mould for your drill energy in the center of the room. Proceed to the next part of the map after smashing the 2 jars at the exit.

You will be faced with a phantom firing at you immediately in the next room. When you approach from the side, the phantom will be alerted and 2 others will join in on either side of the room. The phantom with the cannon will try to point his weapon towards you so it is a good idea to dispose of him first. The other 2 can deal substantial damage so make sure you knock out their weapons. There are 2 weak walls either side of the room.

One of them leads you to a room with 2 electrical traps (it was 1 in Nanometer Shrine). Destroy the stands at one end to end the trap. The lever at the end opens the gate in the previous room. Exit this room and head for the opposite weak wall. Beyond this wall, there is a chest right in the middle of the room and nothing else. There's a chocolate in the chest! 4 spiders will appear as soon as you open the chest. Of course, at this stage, they shouldn't pose much threat to you...

The next part resembles the first part of Nanometer Shrine, which means the end is near... Steps line the sides here and at first glance, there is nothing special, jump to the top and you will notice levers on either side! Pull on both levers and presto! A secret chest appears in the middle of the room! Even if you wear Cat Ears, the chest count will only appear at this time! Tere's a mystery bag in the chest! Head towards the exit and 4 green cube monsters will fall from the sky... smash them up!

Head out to the beautiful scenary of ruins and claim your prize for completing the map! Its a phonograph! It belongs to Poco! Head back to town to open up more places. If you haven't done so, you should use up some life gems too, each give you 10 more life points! That's it for now. Congratulations!
