Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal: Part 18: Flopping Around at Holostar Studios
8Time to deal with Clank's mission with Courtney Gears on Holostar Studios, where many MANY videos are produced, including Secret Agent Clank.
Unfortunately, an accident on the set caused Ratchet to get fired from the next Agent Clank movie, leading to the director to replace him with Skrunch the Monkey as Clank's new sidekick for the film.
----------
First you have to fight some badguys, then you gotta get through an obstacle course that will involve Skrunch and some Gadgebots.
There will be some slot machines along the way, and if you get can a Jackpot in one of them, that's a Skill Point called "Feeling Lucky?"
The slot machine can also dispense ammo, Bolts... or blow up, and it WILL hurt if you're close.
----------
In the final Clank segment, he becomes Giant Clank to fight the Terror of Talos in a 1 on 1 battle (plus some other baddies).
Giant Clank here basically plays like he did in Going Commando: Punch, shoot missiles, and toss energy balls at the big bad guy.
----------
To finish the film, Clank's victory earns the heart of the film's Baroness, who is played by Courtney Gears.
As a part of their deal, Clank wanted Miss Gears to finally give him details on the whereabouts of Dr. Nefarious...
...and Courtney... nefariously, knocks him out, and brings him right to her "Snooky Wookums".
----
When Clank woke up, Nefarious was actually there to praise Clank for his Secret Agent skills, but Clank tried to bring him to the reality that that was all just a fictional act.
Nefarious refused to believe that. He saw Clank as a hero of all robots, but was disappointed that he didn't exploit that his robotic heroism against organic beings. Nefarious wanted Clank to choose between betraying the "Squishies"... or DYING with them...
----
Meanwhile, back at Clank's trailer, Ratchet was wonder what was taking so long for Clank to come back from filming...
...Only to realize he has to fight through some Tyhrranoids that suddenly showed up.
----------
This isn't a huge stage, but you do get to fight a lot of those 'Noids.
There will be more slot machines to find here, too, enlarged for Ratchet compared to the smaller ones Clank had. If you didn't get a Jackpot before with Clank, you can try your luck with Ratchet.
----------
Ratchet eventually managed to meet back up with Clank, who announced that Courtney Gears has already left the planet. At least he informed him that Dr. Nefarious was spotted on a star cruiser called the Leviathan.
As Ratchet was reaching back to his ship, Clank's eyes turned a sinster red behind his back. What did Nefarious do to him...?
----------
Before this, there's a whole Gravity Shoes course to take on if you want another Titanium Bolt. Sometimes I forget about that.
----------
At the ship, Skidd suddenly called about meeting Courtney Gears, though he was NOT supposed to be spotted by her...
And then he was suddenly kidnapped. It was time to return to the Obani Moons, moreso the Obani Draco that Skidd was left to unlock the shield of.
