BOSS       ------------------------
*********** o) Looger's Stronghold *******************************************
           ------------------------



Final boss. To beat him, you'll need to use Electric Bombs. First, he'll throw
thunderbolts at you (you can predict this attack as he will raise his hands
before using it), so run around the platform to avoid them until he stops. 
Then, watch the ground and you'll notice that one of the spots will start 
glowing. Run to it and stay on it to avoid Looger's attack. While you're
standing on that spot, you will gather static electricity and you'll get an
Electric Bomb when your bar is full.

Once you have an Electric Bomb, go near Looger and use that bomb on him. You
will need to repeat that process several times. He will also start to send
electric waves at you, simply jump to avoid them while standing on the glowing
spot to gather the static electricity. After a while, he will send Ratos to
attack you, and also a Zarpac. Defeat all of them. Then, you'll notice that 
the four spots will be glowing. Don't go on any of them yet, wait until Looger
finishes his attack (he'll throw purple orbs on the spots). After his attack,
run to the spot without any orb and stand on it to fill your bar.

Keep attacking Looger when you have Electric Bombs and eventually, he'll send
a big enemy to attack you. The enemy will try to crush you with his head, but
stand back from it and once his attack is over, hit him as much as you can.
Repeat the process until you defeat him. Continue attacking Looger then until
his life meter reaches zero. But it's not over yet.

Looger will jump on the platform you are on and will try to hit you. Run 
around the platform to avoid his attacks, then stand on one of the spots and
wait for him to attack you, but at the last second, get away and his punch
should hit the spot you were on. It should now start glowing so quickly go on
it to charge up your electricity bar. Repeat this process until you have an
Electric Bomb and attack Looger with it.

Then, Looger will return to his seat and continue to attack you with the same 
attacks as previously. Attack him again with Electric Bombs and he will come 
back on the platform with you. Repeat the same process as before but this 
time you will need to hit him twice. Finally, he'll go down.

If you collected all 100 Crystal Gems, you will get the Alternate Ending.

*********** a) Story *********************************************************
           ----------


Our world is only one small planet in a vast universe. Our universe is one 
speck within the "Multiverse". The portals that connect the planets are 
unstable -- they can spawn and die out in the blink of an eye. If anyone could
stabilize and control these portals, he would wield immense power.

In a freak accident, Leon, a brilliant scientist, in the process of developing
just such a device, is sucked out of our world and into a bizarre dimension.
There, the evil Looger and his cronies torture the scientist and steal this
technology, perfecting it until it suits their own twisted purposes.

They break into our world, but before they can complete their fiendish plans,
they are discovered by Bobby "Scaler" Jenkins. They capture the boy and try to
get him to talk, but he breaks free, and escapes through a portal into their
world.




           ---------------
*********** b) Characters ****************************************************
           ---------------


Bobby "Scaler" Jenkins
-----------------------
Bobby is an energetic boy whose quick wit is matched only by his swift 
reflexes. He loves skateboarding and lizards, not necessarily in that order,
and will move Heaven and Earth to save his friends.


Leon
-----
This once heroic and brilliant scientist is now merely a surly survivor -- but
he hasn't quite realized that yet. He befriends Bobby, and give the boy advice
and guidance as he explores the strange world he's blundered into.


Bootcamp
---------
"Captain Bootcamp" is Looger's right hand lackery. He's taken on the persona of
a drill sergeant in our world. He's really just a big lug, and Bobby's having
none of his bullying tactics.


Jazz
-----
She's on Looger's team, too, but in our world, she's taken on the guise of a
movie director. She is NOT one to be messed with, and Bobby has crossed the
line!


Rhombus
--------
He's nabbed a job as a CEO in our world, but he is really another Looger 
compatriot. Hey, Rhombus! You're FIRED!


Turbine
--------
Turbine is Looger's "muscle" and is masquerading as a construction worker in
our world. Scaler's too quick for this bad-breathed baddie!




           --------------------
*********** c) Transformations ***********************************************
           --------------------


Bakudan
--------
Use his bomb rolling attack to takeout enemies from a safe distance and blast
open barriers.


Krock
------
Use his rolling spike attack to crush enemies and break through barriers.


Doozum
-------
Fly to new areas and takeout enemies with your sonar attack.


Fruzard
--------
Shoot nearby enemies with a scatter gun effect or take careful aim and shipe
distant targets.


Swoom
------

           -----------------
*********** d) Collectables **************************************************
           -----------------


Klokkies
---------
Collect these floating pollen particles, and Leon and his faithful Repbaldac-
tile can help you convert them into new abilities and upgrades.


Crystal Gems
-------------
There are 100 Crystal Gems in the entire world (10 per level). Besides being
worth 500 Klokkies each, collecting them all unlocks a super cheesy alternate
ending, the kind that Hollywood would have given you! Have a good chuckle.


Cocoons
--------
Most can be easily broken and many contain a collectable. Cocoons should be
approached with caution as some are traps or monsters.


Shells
-------
These are tough to break and require an Electric Bomb Attack or a Bakudan
bomb to open. Shells usually contain a very valuable collectable.


Vitaloids
----------
They help you recover your health when you're hurt.


Lizard Eggs
------------
There are 20 Lizard Eggs in the entire world. The more eggs you collect, the
more levels will become available to you. Collect all the eggs to keep Looger
from mutating them into monsters.
