IMPOSSAMOLE - TIPS
Typed in by PARASITE of LSD.
LEVEL ONE
POINT ONE: The most advisable route would be to go straight down
under the ONE
POINT TWO: Whilst falling down, pull right on the joystick to avoid the
majority of trouble.
POINT THREE: Push left when falling to collect the treasure.
POINT FOUR: End of level. To kill the monster stand on one of the
middle platforms as you can still hit it, regardless of where it
appears onscreen.
LEVEL TWO
POINT ONE: Jump up[ into the tree branches, then up again. Collect the
food and the laser weapon, but watch out for the thunder cloud.
POINT TWO: Fall down towards the knight.
POINT THREE: End of level. To kill the dragon, climb up the ladder and
stand on the platform. Fire at it. You will find the dragon a lot
easier to kill if you've collected all the bonuses, particually if
you've got the heat-seeking laser. When you've killed it pick up the
bonuses quickly as they will soon fall offscreen.
LEVEL THREE
POINT ONE: The bottom route is the easier of the two, but the top route
contains a good weapon and various other goodies.
POINT TWO: A reverse of point one. The top route is the easier of the
two.
POINT THREE: You've got three options here, the bottom route is
probabelly the easiest.
POINT FOUR: Pick up the bombs on the right if you have no weapons.
POINT FIVE: End of level. To kill the trees stand in the middle of
the ditch and shoot the faces.
LEVEL FOUR
POINT ONE: Take the top route.
POINT TWO: Go up and collect the food (You need it!)
POINT THREE: End of level. To kill the ice-cream, stand on one of
the ledges and shoot it.
LEVEL FIVE
One of the easiest levels, there are no alternative routes.
POINT ONE: End of level! The wirlwinds are the only difficult end of
level nasties in the game. There's no sure fire way of killing them,
so shoot like mad and hope for the best.
EXPLANATION OF OBJECTS
Heres a full list of the objects and their uses.
BADDIE WITH WEAPON: These need to be killed quickly, it normally
takes two hits.
UMBRELLA: Collect these.
PLATFORMS: No Monty game would be complete without these!
TREE BRANCHES: Act just like platforms.
CLIMBING TREE/ROPE: Climb these to reach unaccessable parts of the
screen.
BOMBS: The worst weapon Monty could use.
LASER: Always use these for increased firepower.
BUDDAHS: These baddies stretch out their arms to kill you, they are
usually found at the top of a ladder.
GOLD BUDDAHS: Collect these for extra points.
WATER: Monty hates this, so try to avoid it.
BADDIE: There are numerous enemies in the game, too many to list
here. This symbol marks the position of an enemy thet can be easily
killed.
BIRD: They fly in the direction of the arrow next to them. Generally
they're more annoying than dangerous.
LIGHTNING CLOUD: Cannot be killed. When they get near you they turn
black and start firing lightning bolts at you.
WEAPON POWER-UP: Increase the effectiveness of your weapon. A
maximum of three can be collected.
GOLDEN COIN: Collect these and spend them in the occasional shops.
TEA CUPS: Boose your energy when collected.
CONVEYOR BELT: The direction of the arrow shows which way Monty will
be moved when he stands on one.
DISAPPEARING PLATFORMS: These platforms can only be stood upon for a
short amount of time.
WORM CAN: Collect these. The number of worm-cans in your possesion
are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
GREEN CAULDRON: Collectable.
RISING ROOT OR BRANCH: Zap your energy.
BUZZING BEE: These follow you around but can be killed with a few
shots.
GRAPES: Boose your energy when collected.
MOVING TREE: These look like ordinary trees, but they suddenly dart
towards you when you get near one. Either jump onto a nearby platform
or jump over them.
FALLING ROCK: There is a slight colour differance between these and
stationary rocks. Walk slowly towards one and when it begins to fall,
turn around and hurry back the way you came. Once the rock has
crashed to the floor, continue as normal.
CRUSHER: A throwback to the previous Monty games. Good timing is all
that is needed to avoid being squashed by one of these.
FOOD: Replenishes your energy.
FIRING SNOWMEN: Approach these slowly, otherwise it will wake up and
throw things at you.

stretches of water.

to avoid sliding.
WHALES: Can be used as platforms, but watch out for the water spurts.
ICE BLOCKS: You start to slip and slide as soon as you land on these.
Jump off straight away.
BADDIES ON BIKES: Get away from these as quickly as possible. You
can kill them but you'll find that by the time you've managed to get
rid of one you'll have another one on your tail.
FALLING ICICLE: Can be avoided in the same way as the falling rocks.
TREASURE: Collect for extra points.

screen so fast that you have to hope you're not in their line of fire.

possible. Sometimes he dosen't appear until the lamp charges at you.
Just jump over it to aviod its attack.

the nearby platforms.

SHOOTING SPACE SHIP: Similar to the lightning clouds except their
better shots.

platform.

a well-timed jump.
