Searchlight Seek

This is a melon game with unlimited shots and free aim. Press A to shoot. As you move the gun, the limited light you have will move with it. A Klaptrap is wandering around the barrel. Shoot it to reduce your counter. You have 60 seconds to shoot ten of them. This game is quite easy so long as you lead your shots. Once you spot a Klaptrap, fire a melon in the direction it appears to be moving. Keep your gun in the same general area, as the Klaptraps regenerate where they die. After hitting ten, you'll win the game.

Tips
  • When crossing the lava hands, you can Ponytail Twirl straight across the middle hands to reach the GOLDEN BANANA (1). Jump diagonally off the hands to avoid being blocked by fingers.
  • When entering the Lanky barrel with the Grape Switch, it is possible to get into the barrel before the cut-scene activates.
  • In the Searchlight Seek game, lead your shots to hit the moving Klaptraps.
  • In the big tree, use your sniper to shoot the Pineapple Switch at the end of the path, as stepping on the vine bedding will cause it to turn around.
