Mole Mania
Grampa Mole trick
Sent in by Lance Whalley This is a fun trick, but don't do it if you don't like to be killed. If you bug Grampa Mole enough, he'll go into a rage and kill you. I thought the first time I did it was funny, but the second time wasn't so funny because my cursor was on the end button. Then I had to go the whole boring process of restarting with the weird music on. I learned my lesson the hard way.How do I get into Stage 8?
You must get 100% in Stages 1 - 7 before Stage 8 opens up. Make sure you check every room to get the Map, Locator, the Bonus Area and all 20 Cabbages.Why can't I get 100%?
Check to see if you have all of the items, then make sure you didn't use the Give Up. If you did, you'll have to reset the level and start over.How do I get the items behind Grampa Mole in Level 6?
From the room with Grampa, go up three rooms, right one and down two. Go underground and follow the passage down to a hole. Resurface, then go left and jump in either of the two holes to go left one screen. This puts you back at Grampa only you're behind him.
Bosses
Kangaroon Stay near the middle of the room, and avoid the apples thrown from her pouch. Push and pull the spikes so that Kangaroon lands on them. If you get short of life, go underground to get the two Hearts, or use your Recovery. Sundes Position the two Black Balls so they are in the middle of the screen. Throw one at Sundes, then throw the other quickly to push him into the water on the side of the screen. Funton When you start the stage, avoid him until he jumps in the air. Move to his shadow and make a hole (A Button). When he lands, he'll get stuck in the hole. Throw a Black Ball at him. He'll get mad and start to spin around the screen. Avoid him and wait for him to jump in the air again. This time, he'll make two shadows; pick one and make a hole. You must hit him three times to defeat him. Mad Wrencher Go underground and go to the top hole. Push the Elbow Pipe left all the way and return underground. Resurface in the bottom-right hole and push the Elbow Pipe up to catch his Wrench. It'll enter the pipes and hit him. You must do this three times to beat him. Big Mama Make a hole in the upper part of the room, and go underground. Big Mama is larger than her offspring. Watch where she sits, then return above ground to throw one of the Black Balls at her. You must do this three times to beat her. Watch out for the Small Mice. Sammy Bros. Pull the chain onto an arrow and let go. You have to do this three times. Watch out for the little Sammy Brother; he can't be beaten! He doesn't walk on the checkered floor tiles, so they are safe. The floor pattern changes with every hit on Big Sammy, so be careful. Snowman Hit the Snowman with a Black Ball. He'll split into two smaller snowmen. Hit one of them with the Black Ball and it'll split again. Try to hit one of the smallest snowmen before hitting the bigger ones. This way, you won't have so many enemies on the screen at once, and it'll be easier to beat them. Jinbe Run around the room avoiding Jinbe. When he is far enough away, push/pull/throw the Black Ball at one of the Exit Blocks. When you have destroyed all four of them, you win!Stages
