RGR005 - To The Moon!

Ah, the final stage of Bonk's Adventure. Stage 5 is sort of a raid on King Drool's fortress, where you fight your way through a horde of stronger enemies, and then climb the tower. It's kind of sad, though; at the bottom of the tower, all four previous bosses, who have become your friends, are frozen. When you make your way to the top, King Drool re-enslaves them, and you have to return to the bottom to fight them all again. Yeah, I know. Real creative.

Once they're beaten, you move on to fight T. Ractorhead, a sort of dinosaur tank that fights using the previous bosses' weapons. Beating him frees Princess Za, and the two of you make your way via rocket-powered skull to Moonland, which really is on the moon. There, King Drool attacks you in shadow form, teleporting around and creating slow-moving energy rings that you can use to get above him to headbutt his nose. After taking enough damage, the shadow form gives way to King Drool himself, who attacks with flying tridents and tries to drop on top of you. The weak point is the same, so keep at it, and he'll eventually run away to start working on his next plan to generate a predictable video game plot.

Poor Huey...

...and poor Gladdis...

I see a pattern forming here.

Yep, definitely a pattern.

Yeah, that's a tall waterfall.

Ooh boy. Here goes...

The princess is saved?

NOM NOM NOM

The moon is sad.

Oh, no, a carnivorous outline!

Oh, it's just King Drool.

Yeah, run away, loser!

Oh, she's pink?

Cheer up, moon! Everyone's back!

NSFW

Yeah, I fought that thing somewhere.

Why, you're quite welcome!

Yeah, that's better.

For now... but we'll meet again, Bonk...

And that wraps up another game here at Retro Gamer Ryan! The closing on my house is drawing near, so I think I'll try to squeeze one more short game in before I get settled in, and then it'll be on to Dragon Warrior III. See you then!

Oh, yeah... the catch phrase thing... the last one didn't really work, so...

MISSION ALL OVER!
