Full Name: Baron Reznik

Name of Mission: GameFreak's Realm

Description of mission: GameFreak's Realm is a
challenging mission, complete with an exit sequence
for your enjoyment. The challenging Yellow section
is the funhouse of my Realm. If you can make it
out of there with the Red key, you might just
complete my level.

Hint: What you see isn't always what you get!

------------------

My opinion:

This level is quite hard, especially the area beyond the yellow door. Not because the strength of the foes. You need to fight with the level 1 arsenal: laser and concussions, some homing missiles available and that's all. There are quite a few fake powerups that only give you just a shield or a concossion missile. All stuff you find in the yellow area is fake, although I remember there is a spreadfire cannon somewhere in that maze. Shields are also very scarce. Some orbs are available but you mostly need to salvage them from the mechs.

I decided to go for the keys first, then the hostages. To get past the hard area early.

The blue area has an invisible maze, the walls are not visible, although you can see it in the automap. It's easy to entangle in them when you are running for the exit. Not hard area at all, only a class 2 drone guards it.

The yellow area contains lots of mechs, you need to fight with them in a close range. So I decided not to clear the entire area, only those mechs that are easy to kill or in the path, hoping for some shields.

A tiled tangling tunnel leads to the red key, which is guarded by 3 rocket mechs. Cloaking device is essential so you must be lucky to be able to swipe out one from the only cloaked lifter that can be found in this area. Otherwise clearing the rocket mechs is extremely hard. There is no room to dodge their missiles when they start firing.
