Miniboss - Giant Spider

Difficulty: 5/10

You have woken a giant spider, which lowers itself to the web along with several smaller spiderlings. The giant spider attacks by spitting pink goo, which reverses your controls, and green goo, which slows you down. Both attacks leave you vulnerable.

Mine Cart Mayahem

Difficulty: 7/10

This mine cart challenge is more difficult than Chunky's version. You race on a mine track above lava, with two enemy mine carts trying to collide with you. The goal is to survive for 45 seconds. Hold Z to speed up, B to slow down, and use the control stick at junctions to switch tracks. Avoid TNT. If you are about to crash with only a few seconds left, hold B to delay the crash. Keep an eye on the TNT carts and add randomness to your movement patterns by switching at junctions. You win when the timer reaches zero.

Tips
  • When fighting the Giant Spider, if you get hit by pink goo, hold your controller upside down.
  • In Mine Cart Mayahem, if you're about to crash and only have a couple of seconds left, holding B can delay the crash and potentially save you.
  • Pay close attention to the TNT carts in Mine Cart Mayahem; not doing so will likely result in a collision.
  • Switching tracks at random junctions in Mine Cart Mayahem can help mix up your movement patterns.
