As we move on to the second half of Mekanos, we find...more derp! We also find two more regular levels and a boss. Blazing Bazukas, 4-4, is another factory level, this one focusing on the Bazuka enemy. The stage is full of these nigh-invincible barrel-shooting pests, and they like to shoot their never-ending streams of projectiles right where they will get in the way, though on the whole, the level really isn't that hard. Nor is 4-5, Low-G Labyrinth, whose gimmick—as the name would suggest—is low gravity. Thanks to that, you can jump much higher and fall more slowly, so you can jump from pipe section to pipe section (this one being another stage set in a drainpipe). The second half of the stage completely changes things up with a purple Squawks clone named Quawks, who cannot spit eggs but can pick up barrels. Not that that comes into play all that much in this stage, though. The second half is also a bit more maze-like, though not to the point of really being confusing. Then we come to the boss, which is a good example of a boss that isn't very difficult but still manages to be just a little on the annoying side. He has more attacks than Squirt, Arich, or Belcha, but he is pretty slow, and the fight is rather drawn-out just because of how long it takes before you can get a hit in on him. (To add insult to injury, I actually lost a life late in the battle the first time, which cost me nearly 3 minutes of playtime....) Ah well, he is down, we now have two skis, and we can get Funky's ultimate vehicle (not really; there is an extra one you can get later), the Turbo Ski! With four worlds down and three vehicles in our possession, we're making some decent progress. (Well, at least, the Kongs are...my upload schedule is still kind of sucking...)
