I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game: The Picture Book

I WANNA BE THE GUY: THE MOVIE: THE GAME: THE PICTURE BOOK: THE UPPER PATH
On the subject of bosses, I'd have to say Mike Tyson is probably the easiest boss. He's one of the most fragile of the lot and he only has one real attack.

Although if you don't know what the S key is for, he's very annoying.

The Clown Copter would be easier than him if the DOOM SPHERE wasn't such a pain to jump over.

Anyway, with Kraidgief defeated, we have the business of getting back to the start so we can finally embark on the Upper Path. Coincidentally, we will then beat up Mike Tyson!

Exiting Kraidgief's boss chamber brings us here again.


Let's just quickly run through here and get started on the upper path.


You know the drill.


There was a boss here. It's gone now.


Climb that skyscraper! Climb!


HATE YOU ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM!


Dodge bullets and spikes and spin kicks and junk.


We're halfway to fighting The Guy.

Our path will take us straight through the three remaining bosses. Next time we come here, the seal will be unlocked!

Let's warp back to the start and get started on the upper path.


Jumping up from the starting room brings us here. Nice looking place, isn't it?


Even in Arcadia, death comes.

You just have to make the apples fall and run out of the way in time. Have to be careful though - some have slightly different triggers.


I hope you've been practicing your ninja skills.


APPLES DON'T FALL UP! D:


Safely at the end.

As you can see, all but one of those Delicious Fruits were out for your blood.

That last one will kill you if you're stupid enough to jump into it though.


This room seems impassable.

The trick is those big clouds are actually platforms.


Watch out though, some of them start falling the instant just before you touch them.


Much like Delicious Fruits, sometimes clouds fall up.


Sometimes this works to your advantage.

There's a slight trick to getting on this cloud, but I'm sure you can work it out.

Anyway, let's take a quick look at the room to the left.


This room really is impassable.


Unless you take a leap of faith!


It's a nice view from up here.


Leap into the gaping void once more!

Climbing these stepping stones in the sky, ascend into the clouds and receive yonder prize!


Ah, the Game Over Room, a place where nothing can ever hurt you, save for yourself.

It's... it's beautiful.

And it contains a power-up!

The power-up does nothing.

Anyway, that is all that's here: we have to go back.


When seeking ye olde saveith point, bewareth falling spikes.


THEY CAUSE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.

How can we continue from here?

"Beware the Moon?" Any idea as to the reasoning behind that?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Hehe, just wait and see Flare.

I liked the Game Over room, that was quite surprising. But what happens if you fall in the Home screen? Does the car at the bottom run you down or something? Because if not then it definitely should!

HAHAHA.

hahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHA!!!

...Wait, I forget. Have you encountered the moon yet?

Because if not... YOU WILL.

(And yeah... I stole the laughter from DFM's Let's Play.)

[Flarecobra]

Probably because I never played this game.

I guessed as much... it's just...

It falls on you. Very, very frequently. There are even times when it continues to chase you after falling. The moon is the closest thing this game has to a major antagonist, other than the fruits and spiky pits.

So yeah. It's kinda like if someone watching Star Wars the first time said "Hmm, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker sure have a lot in common. Do they have any past history, I wonder?"

Nah, you just hit stuff and die. but the game over room is the best room in the game (also the only safe room in the game)

As for the moon: totally a major antagonist. I mean c'mon: "I have bested fruit, spike and moon, and now I shall best you, the guy!"

Because it's the Moon!

You'll see, I'll make you see! You'll all say I'm crazy but I'm the only one who's not crazy!

Ahahahahahahahaha!

Last update we were left at what seems to be a dead end. How can we continue?


By extending our reach to the skies above!


They say that, for the Upper Path at least, this room is what really tests if you've got what it takes to be The Guy. If you can't get through here, give up now!


I wonder why.


You didn't really think it would be that easy, did you?


Stars are heavy.


Ah, the next room. Much less spikier than the previous room! Seems straightforward, right?


It never is.


NEVER EVER EVER!

So yeah, if you fall down on this screen, a plane will fly by and turn you into chunky salsa. Also the Game Over music is different! Of course, this Let's Play is picture only, so you don't know what you're missing out on. Like how catchy the regular Game Over music is.

Guitar riff!


And now we have crossed and can save, safe forever.

Do not fear, for this save point cannot harm you.

I mean a killer save point? That's ridiculous!


Hmmm, could this be the boss battle we've been waiting for?

One thud and the doors seal!


After an eternity, a second thump knocks down a star. It sounds like breaking glass. Well it would if you could hear it. Which you can't.


What IS that?

Slowly it rises into full view...


IT'S HIDEOUS!


Mike Tyson is pretty basic. He chases after you and periodically punches.


After enough normal punches, he then punches out a few blocks, which, if he's in the right spot...


Fall and hurt his foot, making him shout out in pain.

This gives you the opportunity to cram bullets down his throat.

Yes, those are flames coming out of his mouth.


Some men just can't handle their bullets.

To kill him, do this two more times. All he does is speed up.


For the first two stages at least, it's pretty easy to stay out of his reach.

My god he's ugly.


You get to see his ugly smirk if he does get you though.

And then you experience the joys of having to sit through his overly long intro movie again, unless you know the secret.


And he's down for the count!


Ah, sweet, precious Unit, you are mine now.

And there you can see the Moon. Lowest of the celestial spheres and scarred with a thousand evils. First to rise, first to fall...

My archnemesis...

Is Arhra crazy?
