• Slammin’ Lid: avoid the force field and then climb on the enemy, and then take out the pilot
• Fish Stick: Climb on the pillar and then shoot all the ink
• fly fish: Throw a bomb into both missile launchers to destroy it from the inside
• Drizzler: hit him as soon as he comes out of the umbrella, you can also hit his missiles to launch them at the sender

Awards

If you succeed, you will be able to obtain special equipment, which changes every month. Choose wisely because you can only do it month after month. The equipment you will receive may come with 3 slots and we advise you to choose that one. In case something comes out that you already have, compare the various performances and make your choice.

Another thing not to forget are the capsules, which will be given to you the moment you reach 1200 points. Specifically they are divided as follows:

• Yellow: random amount of money, if it shines it will be around 32 thousand
• Red: food ticket, if it shines the food will double the effects
• Blue: ticket for drinks, if it shines it will be 4 tickets
• Green: skill pieces, if it shines it will be 4 pieces

These capsules can be obtained by holding A in front of the chest near the entrance. One piece of advice we can give you is to accumulate them and then redeem them all together.

Dulcis in fundo, we remind you that the scales of the King can be exchanged for cosmetics, decorations, stickers and banners. Where is it? Always at the cash desk. These can be bronze, silver and gold. So win and get scales!
