The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (NES) - Stage 5
3The stage begins with bouncing drops and birds swopping towards you. Big hawks may appear from behind or down ahead, so keep a close eye on them. If you see a balloon come by, quickly jump to fetch it and let it take you for a ride so that you can avoid the gray clouds dropping lightning bolts. Further down the road, there are shooting stars, so avoid those as well. Small dragons will release fireballs, so time your ducking or jumping to dodge them. As you navigate the mountains, the peaks will let out small rocks, so make sure you focus your timing to get past them. Next, you’ll have a duel against the cloud master. The cloud master will move at swift speeds and throw lightning bolts. Once the cloud master comes down at your height, shoot at it. Defeat the cloud master and more shooting stars will appear. Grab the balloon and you’ll ride in a snowball cloud. The next boss is a giant blimp. When the hatchers with guns open up, shoot at them. Be sure to also watch for round turrets shooting as well, so take them out quickly. After all of the hatchers and weapons are gone, aim for the booster engine. Take out the booster engine and you’ll advance to the next stage.
