Antonblast: Part 3: Slowroast Sewer (All 4 Items + Paul)

Yes! The water level that I got to play in Dynamite Demo 2.0 is the second level in this game!

The first time you let Anton tread deep water here... you'll see him flailing and drowning!

But that's just a fakeout. He can swim and even breathe underwater just fine, thanks to his swimming goggles.

Swimming in this game is pretty cool, by the way, especially since you get to use your Clutch Spin as a boost.

This level will have you release streams of water in order to let it reach windmills that will unlock certain doors.

But the most significant gimmick of this stage is the Sewer Shark! As if you were using a Polar in Crash Bash, you can have the Sewer Shark do a Charge that smashes through 1 ton weights. It can also climb waterfalls!

For Danton in this stage, one of the Sewer Sharks will launch you right at him at 11:19, knocking his sorry ass into a flaming pit of damnation. Sorry again, Nina!

Besides the Cassette Tape and Game Boy Gray Spray Paint, this level's Spirit is a flying plunger with bat wings, and its unique item is a shiny red banana peel.

For all of this water, when you finally trigger Happy Hour, everything starts bursting into a hellish flaming hellscape! So now it's time to run like Hell back to the start!

However, I also managed to find a retro character here during Happy Hour, a much cruder sprite of Anton's more classic look. He's officially called "Paul".

There are 12 Pauls to find, because there are 12 main levels in this whole game. I'll try to fit this into my workplan with this playthrough.

Even if you fail escaping against Happy Hour, you'll just start it over again. A lot of the game feels like it WANTS you to improve if you screw up anywhere.

After two levels, it looks like I already have a boss level coming up!
