Ace Lightning

Go to the Shootout part of the gate and enter Anvil will be the Boss. Physical attacks will only work on him. Continue through the maze and fight past monsters and get past Pendulums. Also watch out for Dirty Rat in this level. He can appear anywhere. Continue through the log maze and jump across water logs. Climb up the levers until you get to the final checkpoint where you get power-ups. Jump down the edge and get ready to fight Anvil. Remember that lightning attacks are not effective against him. Dirty Rat will aid Anvil when nearby. After you kill Anvil, Ace will say "Another crushing defeat for you, my friend!" Collect your points and save the game.

Dirty Rat will be the Boss in this level. Continue through the maze and find the checkpoints. the last will have power-ups next to it. When continuing through the maze you will find mirrors. If you find them you will be on the right path. When you get up the levers, you will find the checkpoint. Get the power-ups and get ready to fight Dirty Rat. As usual, use any attacks against him. After you kill him Ace will say "Hope you loved that as much as I did, Rat!" After that collect your points and save the game.

Go to the final level on the map and be prepared to fight Lord Fear. When in the level you will find all the monsters that you have fought in all the levels including Bosses. Make sure you have full health when fighting them. After you defeat PigFace there will be a new power-up. Green Lightning. You can only use it for a limited time, so be careful. After you fight him, go back to the bricks. Go up then go west and fight Anvil. After you kill him go east and through the key door. Kill the ghost. You now have Green Lightning. Get down, find your way through the maze, and find checkpoints. Later in the maze you will fight all the Bosses you fought in the previous levels. When fighting Lady Illusion remember that she can dodge your Thunder attacks. When you get outside the house on the east side, fly down and get to the checkpoint. Get ready to fight Lord Fear. Get the power-up near the checkpoint and jump down the ledge. When the fight begins Lord Fear will be playing the organ. When you walk in you will set off his attack. When using your Thunder attacks, Lord Fear will deflect them back at you. Use physical attacks and attack him. Lord Fear also uses his neck and throws bombs at you in addition to use staff heads blasts to attack. After you kill Lord Fear all the mice in the organ will cheer and you will complete the game. Ace will say. "You really didn't expect me to dance to your tune did you, Lord Fear?".

Like the last level, this one is very easy to get through. The path is shown and you can get to the Boss in less then an half an hour. When you reach the Boss (Lady Illusion), there will be a new Lightning Knight, "Sparkx", that can join you. She can use her sword and hover to a location you chose. Flying is not a problem for her because she does not need the flying power-up. When fighting you can switch characters, but running straight into them. When you are fighting Lady Illusion she is unaffected by all your thunder attacks. Physical attacks are very effective against her. She can also teleport to another place in the arena. When you are very close to her, she automatically teleports. Physical attacks will be a problem. After fighting her the level points will be given out and you will complete the level. After you save the game and return to the carnival she sometimes pops up and wants to fight you. After you defeat her, she disappears.

This level is somewhat awkward because it is a big fortune telling tent. When getting through the maze beware of most of the monsters and other things in this level. This may be the most easiest of all the levels so far, but do not be fooled by the setup. When you arrive at a checkpoint you are on the correct path. Keep going until you find a flying icon. Go up and through the pendulum crystal balls. Get through and fly up. Collect the key and go up even further. Fly up and up and go west. Find the checkpoint there and power up. You will find the Boss, "Dirty Rat". He may look small and harmless but beware of his grenades. You can climb up the lever and punch or throw the planets that are set up, or use your lighting blasts on him. He is one of the weakest villains you will encounter. After you defeat him, Ace will say, "Looks like it's back to school for you, Rat!" After you collect your points and save the game, continue out of the gate and find the Shotgun level entry.
