Description
[edit | edit source]OuterSpace (while not being fire-themed) is a simple level containing a boss fight near the end.
- 0–10%: A normal-speed cube section. The words 'Fire Gauntlet' and a picture of the Fire Gauntlet symbol are visible. At 2%, the player passes a face resembling a cube icon in-game.
- 10–21%: A double-speed ship sequence that contains frequent speed changes and several easy-to-avoid obstacles. At ~14%, text reading 'VIPRIN IS TRIGGERED' can be seen near the top of the level, with the first user coin directly above it.
- 21–34%: A double-speed ball segment that features simple timings and a bunch of seemingly random auto sections, after which the player passes a smiley face at 24%, similar to the one at 2%. Then, at 29%, the same face appears, but it is sad.
- 34–45%: A normal-speed UFO segment, and then at 36%, the player is flipped upside-down and sent to double-speed before entering a blue gravity portal and normal-speed at 39%. The player then enters a mini-portal at 43% and soon reaches a cube portal. The same face as at the beginning appears at 38%, along with a cat-like face at 43%. This section features wide-open spaces and harmless slopes the player can slide on.
- 45–68%: A second cube section with a normal-size portal having another smiley face like the one at 24%. The part contains simple orb timings and the second user coin. The player soon enters a double-speed portal with a sad face above it, identical to the one at 29%. Soon, the player goes into a series of consecutive gravity pads for the build-up. The player then flies into the air, seeing the words 'OUTER SPACE' as they fall into a ship portal at triple speed.
- 68–100%: A triple-speed ship sequence with a boss fight, the boss being a giant laser-shooting gun on the right of the screen. An exclamation mark appears right before it attacks, either by shooting its massive laser or thrusting its spiky arms at the player. Additionally, the top and bottom of the screen are covered with spikes, except for the location of the third user coin. At ~80%, it retreats, and the player must avoid large sawblades and obstacles to continue. Finally, the player reaches a normal-speed portal at the end, and upon completing the level, the big laser comes out of the wall.
User coins
[edit | edit source]OuterSpace contains three user coins.
- The first coin is located at 14% in the first ship sequence. To collect it, the player must fly up, but only high enough to avoid crashing into the spikes on the ceiling.
- The second coin is located at 57% in the cube section. To collect it, the player must jump and avoid hitting the green orb. Instead, they must fall onto the floor between two spikes. The player should then hit the blue gravity pad right next to the coin to return to the normal route.
- The third and final coin is located at 74% in the ship sequence's boss fight. To collect it, the player must either fly under a laser that the boss shoots close to the ground or drop to the floor. Spikes on the ground just below the coin are absent to make the coin easier to obtain.
