Mud Pit Mania: Difference between revisions

Mud Pit Mania is the second level of the [[Desert Island]] and the eighteenth level overall in [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]]. This is the first level that includes the use of [[Items in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos|torches]] to illuminate darkened sections of levels and the first of the two desert stages that has a Tornado/Duststorm. This is one of the hardest and longest stages on the game, harder than some of the stages on Crystal Island.

First off, jump to the monkey bars just to your right. Swing across and drop to the crumbling platform, then jump across the

platforms to reach the end with the Aztec-styled well. Don't jump in it yet,

though. Instead, grab the SILVER KEY behind it, then return to the start. Go

still on the platform, so jump off of it early. Open the cage and press the

button, then return to start. Use the new platform to reach the crate

containing GOBBO #1, and use it again to get on top of the monkey bars for the

RED CRYSTAL, taking out the other Mummy. Now you can go and jump into the well.

Swing under the monkey bars at the end, and jump down to the small island at

steps to the well (you can go over the monkey bars instead of under this time).

At the other end of the island with the well, jump to the stretching platform,

where another well awaits. There two paths behind it. Take the narrow one on

mud). Cross the trio of crumbling platforms to reach the well beyond, and jump

it, then use the arrow crate to jump to the rotating platforms. Ride around

and jump to the crate in the corner with the SILVER KEY on top. Return to the

GOBBO #3 in his cage. Jump back in the well to leave.

Return to the previous well past the tornado and take the other path beyond it.

Skip the crates, using them only to get on top of the monkey bars. Cross those

to the heart to reach a crumbling platform with the BLUE CRYSTAL. Grab it and jump

back to the monkey bars, then return to the crates and smash them to receive

GOBBO #4. Now, jump into the nearby well.

platform, again dodging fireballs, then to more solid land, where another

the middle if ever you need. Use these platforms to reach the YELLOW CRYSTAL and heart in the corners, and from either of their platforms, jump to the land
