Moment to MomentInto the mouth

The player enters the volcano and stands beneath a large mammoth skeleton. After he leaps down and kills off the chickens, he has the choice of going left or right.

Up the spine

If the player goes left, he comes across a large cave that enters through a rock formation that resembles a face. As he proceeds he enters a chamber that sits above a large pit of lava. As he climbs to the top and collects all the secrets in the area he will come across barricade.

Rumbling tummy?

Once the player smashes through the barricade he will stumble upon a large flaming rhino. This rhino is stronger than any other rhino previously faced in any other level, it also has some chicken minions to pester the player. Once he deals with the rhino, he has a push/pull puzzle to solve in order to enter the next room call the Guts, the Guts are a tie in point from the right path choice.

Around the ribs

If the player goes right, he comes across some platforming events and some shimmying. The obvious path takes him to a barricade that needs to be smashed down. Once he smashes it down, he enters the den of the chickens. Here he will slaughter all the stupid chickens and then progress through the crest of flame, two lava falls parallel to each other. Once the player reaches the peak, he must shimmy over some large stone spike to the platform on the other side. Once there, the player will smash through two barricades and drop down into the Guts, which is a tie in from the left path choice.

Under the skin

When the player makes the right choice from the entrance, he may or may not notice a secret path opposite from the barricade into around the ribs. This path is a straight vertical shaft that the player needs to climb up. This area is filled with collectibles and hidden items, as well as a small rock bridge that goes over the large lava falls. This path eventually leads up to the Guts, which is the tie in from the left or right choices from the beginning of the level.

The guts

This area is not filled with many secrets but leads the player up towards a fresh rock pile to refill his ammo and a long corridor through the ribs and out into the gauntlet.

The Gauntlet

This area is filled with natural hazards that can only be bypassed by knocking over the rock pillars to create bridges. Some platforms are too unstable for the player to stand on and he must time his movements or fall to his doom and have to start over. The other environmental issue is the massive lava fall the sends waves of lava at the shimmy edge, the player can either shimmy passed this event or jump onto the drifting rocks that flow through the lava for a few short seconds.

The Beast

After the player navigates the gauntlet he will come up against the large lizard boss. In this area, the player must utilize the environment and his club to defeat the fire breathing boss.
