The last stage in the game with it's own original setting. There are 5 tags (4 Extra Large, 1 Small) that you need to complete in order to finish the stage.

I show two of my current custom tags which are average at best (I'm not an artist!), then launch into this level using... the Noise Tanks? These guys are pretty good characters overall. 50 Can capacity, Medium tag patters and decent tricks. Well-rounded indeed.

The stage here is really simple, as you need to grab some Spray cans and cross an obstacle to four different platforms each containing an Extra Large tag. Two of them allow you to use a large rail-like girder, and the other two have you jumping on odd-shaped cogs. The cogs will be giving you the most trouble.

The problem with those particular objects is that you can't get on them until they slope enough to stand on. Then you need to jump to a secondary cog before finally reaching the platform. This looks easy but one wrong move will constantly drop you off.

In this level, falling off causes you to re-appear high above the giant turntable, just to slam down on it. It is annoying.

Something else to get in your way is that Giant Golden Rhino Statue that was previously placed on the side of the building (seen in a previous scene earlier). It now beleaguers you by charging up a giant burst a flame that covers the entire platform. If you used an advance graffiti character like Gum, Yo-yo, or Piranha, you are likely to get hit by this before you finish tagging a spot.

A small trick you can use can help you avoid it all together. Since that attack takes so long to use, you can just move to another spot. It doesn't check to see if you still present once it appears. (Roar, Charge-up, Flame-thrower, Fly away. By the time it charges up, you could be halfway to a different platform.

Taking a hit here doesn't matter since the score won't be tracked anyway. I no damaged this stage because it's pretty simple. Railing on top of the booth in the centre to tag Goji's head can be a pain since the turntable speeds up after you get the 4 tags. You will get it eventually.

This time around (unlike my Dreamcast run), I leave the ending intact will all the credits. I earn two trophies at the same time since I met their requirements. Hope you enjoyed this over-due play through and more stages will be shown since I'll be rounding up the remaining trophies later.
