Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Level One. Rollie McFly must save the garden and its inhabitants from King Thorax and the Fire Ants. His main task is to release captured ladybugs. Where does he find power-ups, extra lives and shields to help him?

Answer: In walnuts

If Rollie follows the walnut trails, he reaches all the places and gets all the objects he needs to complete the level. A swift kick breaks the walnut shell to release the contents but some contain nasty creatures which slow him down and drain his energy.

2. Level Two. Rollie learns to swim and has to fight off lots of enemies in this level. Which of these opponents does NOT cause him problems?

Answer: Bee

The Boxer flies wear red gloves and are defeated with one kick; the spear- and rock-throwing ants need two. Slugs just slow Rollie down and drain his energy. On this level, the bees are all still in the hive.

3. Level Three. This level is played out on a pond infested with Killer Fish, Mosquitoes and Water Skippers. In some of the walnuts, Rollie finds coins. What does he spend them on?

Answer: To pay for a taxi

The Water Boatmen on this level operate a Water Taxi which gets Rollie from place to place quickly and safely as he is not vulnerable to the Killer Fish when using the taxi. Rollie needs to move quickly and jumping is a much better option than walking, especially across water.

4. Level Four. In this level, Rollie learns to pilot a Dragonfly. Unfortunately, if he goes too high he loses a life. Why?

Answer: A bat eats him

Avoiding the bats in most of the garden is not too difficult - the spiders, bees and human feet are more hazardous - but it's a different matter when Rollie tries to enter the hole in the hollow tree. The more flying practice Rollie gets at this level, the better for Level 5.

5. Level Five. This is the first "Boss" level and there are a few ladybirds to free, a few walnuts to open and just one main task. What is it?

Answer: To set the beehive on fire

This can be a very short but satisfying level as Rollie blasts away at the hive. As it starts to break up, bees come out to attack him and combined with the spiders and their webs can inflict some serious damage.

6. Level Six takes place inside the hive and Rollie has to negotiate deadly honey lakes, Worker Bees, Bee Larvae and locked doors. How does he get through the doors?

Answer: Dynamites them

Rollie gets across the honey lakes by riding honeycomb rafts but he has to be quick in jumping on and off as some of them won't support his weight for long and if he sinks into the honey, that's a life lost. The Worker Bees have a nasty sting in their tail and are best avoided.

It's a good idea for Rollie to jump on any plungers even if there doesn't appear to be a door in the vicinity.

7. Level Seven is the second "Boss" level and consists of defeating the Queen Bee. Speed is of the essence here as she turns really nasty as Rollie attacks her. How?

Answer: She spits out flying bees

As well as kicking, Rollie can roll up and ram into his enemies. This tactic uses up more energy so he needs to be fully powered up and, if possible, shielded to protect himself from damage when he takes on the Queen Bee as he can destroy her only when he is rolled up.

8. Level Eight. This level takes place in the garden at night. There are lots of new hazards, enemies and some new weapons. What do the Fireflies do to Rollie?

Answer: Pick him up and carry him away

When the Fireflies carry him away, they leave him somewhere he does not want to be so that he has to renegotiate all the hazards. There are firecrackers which explode and kill his enemies directly but they can also light the toxic gas emitted by the roaches and cause explosions. This is the largest level and very satisfying to complete.

9. Level NIne. Rollie has reached the hill of the Fire Ants and must find his way past lava pools and fire walls. How does he get across the lava pools?

Answer: Swings on roots

The roots dangling from the tunnel roof are for Rollie to grab hold of and swing on. He can extinguish the walls of fire by releasing water from pipes but the Dragonfly and jumping rapidly aren't much use against these hazards.

10. Level Ten. Rollie finally meets King Thorax in the third and final "Boss" level. If he defeats him, what happens to King Thorax?

Answer: He is trapped in a Ladybird cage

The tables are turned on King Thorax - if Rolllie uses up all his lives the final gamescreen is of him trapped inside a ladybird cage within the evil fire ants looking on. When King Thorax is defeated (and Level 10 is not that hard once you reach it), the final scene changes to the garden and all is sweetness an light again.
