Alright, here we are with the second stage which starts you off in a wooded area, but you quickly move to a factory area, so, I will call stage 2 a Factory. Some new enemies and stage hazards appear in this area. A ceiling (tree?) mounted machine will fire two shots downward at a diagonal angle. These can also be used to your advantage as they can hurt their own allies. When you get to the factory area, barrels will roll towards you from either side of the screen, introducing a stage hazard. Also, a new type of Putty appears here, a shield wielding Putty. Area 2 focuses more on the platforming aspect of the game, while introducing plenty of hazards to impede your path. Other than that, there are some enemies but nothing major.
Area 3 introduces a couple more platforming sections as well as a new type of Putty, a ball-and-chain Putty as well as a couple new machine enemies. One that drops bomb like projectiles and the other which drops a stream of electricity.
The boss of this stage, in Area 4, is Gnarly Gnome and in my opinion, he is easier than Bones if you know how to deal with him. What I do is stand on the middle platform. If he's below you, he won't attack, if he's on the same platform as you or on one of the upper or lower platforms, he will attack. He also has what I call two phases, the first phase he'll just teleport to a random platform and try to attack. He has two attacks: If he's above you, he'll shoot fireballs at you and if he's bellow you, he'll fire a sound wave at you. In his second phase he plays what I like to call Teleport Roulette, he'll quickly teleport between all places before finally landing on one. When he's doing this, it means he's almost down for the count.
0_0 Is it just me, or was that Gnome bopping his head back and forth after launching your special attack? What is Love♫ Oh baby, don't hurt me♫ Don't hurt me, no more♫ X3
