STING CHAMELEON Okay, so, stings stage is, not surprisingly, in a mechanical jungle. You start out Teleporting down into the entrance of the jungle. there are a few new enemies here as well as an armour upgrade and heart tank(you should wait until you beat sting and launch before coming back for the heart, since it is impossible to get without the water you should also have the head upgrade to bust through the rocks. please note that EVEN TRYING TO DO THIS LEVEL AND TAKE ON THE BOSS IS STUPID WITHOUT THE DASH BOOTS FROM CHILL PENGUINS LEVEL(they are in plain sight. get them, then either kill yourself or beat the level(chill is the easiest boss to defeat) to get out. I suggest that you beat boomer kuwanger before you take on sting also. You should also get the helmet upgrade from storm's level so that the rocks wont hurt u if they fall on u. In short, Sting should be one of the last mavericks you take on. anyways to the level part, here are the enemies you will encounter at first: BUSHMET These guys pop out of the bushes in the background and shoot worms out their heads. they are weaklings and about 3 regular buster shots will take them out WATERSKIDDERS Yes, they don't skid on water (yet) but they will jump around and can be annoying as hell to kill. LOGGING BOT A malfunctioned lumberjack that has a robot tree which when he cuts it gets all spikey and shoots a disk at you. take this out by blowing up the tree part and jumping over it or waiting until the tree is regenerating and jumping on and behind it and him. he will sit there when you get behind him, and he is a sitting turkey. he can be killed by a charge blast and a half charged blast sends him to the scrapyard(they are pretty strong) ROCKBOTS when you get into a cave with (a lot) of falling rocks, these things will drop. they can't be hurt until they open themselves up by attacking. WOODPECKERS these THINGS shoot out worms (big, ugly, maverick ones) from their perch in a tree. flailbots. These guys hide behind a nice, big shield that makes them immune until they attack. they are a REAL DAMN PAIN in kuwangers level, but we'll get to that later. anyways, to kill them wait until they attempt to hit you, jumps over the flail and shoot a charged blast at them. they take about 2 1/2 charged blasts until they go to that big forest in the sky. REPLOID WALKERS yes, you do fight these. but don't worry- you'll get a walker of your own to even out the odds. they take about 5 or 6 punches to kill, and any damage you take when you're in the walker is not received. but beware. if you take to much damage you will have to bail or your walker will blow up and talke you with it. they take about 13 fully charged shots to kill, so you want to keep your walker. there are also SPIKE BOTS, but their strategies are covered in the first area of the guide. now for the level. you start out pretty straigt forward. then you come to a fork. you can continue through the cave where there are a lot of falling square rocks or go up if you have the dash boots to get you there. now you go into a sub boss battle. =====================CAPSULE GUARD BOSS==================                                           CLAW GRAPPLER ========================================================== ATTACKS: -JUMPING -CLAWSHOT: shoots his claw out, grabs you and pulls you in. you have to struggle to get out. HITS TO KILL: I have no idea..........a lot, though STRATEGY: dodge his jumps, charge your buster and shoot him in the head whenever possible. he will start smoking to let you know when you are almost finished. jumping is his selected form of transport. when you beat him, a capsule with armour will drop down(X's armour) It reduces damage done to you by 1/2 :). ============================================================ there is a heart tank in the pit, but you need to have made water flood stings level and have gotten the helmet upgrade from storms level. we'll cover the heart tanks later.    After the cave you meet the woodpeckers and more bush mets, then the cliff. the flailbot you see here is the only one in the level, so you can fight or avoid. don't forget to stop in the cave above him to pick up an extra life. In the swamp, it is annoying. infested with waterskidders, quiksand like water, and spikebots that make the going tough without a walker. You will only fight 2 tough enemies here, the other walkers, and there are only 2 of them. after all this you see the entrance to the boss, but you can't bring your walker in ;.;. go through the double doors  to meet the big kahuna of the level, the lizard thing sting! ==========BOSS MAVERICK==============                     STING CHAMELEON ATTACKS: -SPIKE SHAKER:he attaches himself to the ceiling with his tongue and makes the spikes fall down on you. they don't kill you, but they do a helluva lot of damage. can be disabled with boomer kuwangers weapon. -CAMOUFLAGE: he comes out and shoots his tongue at you, then jumps and whips you with his tongue. disable him with kuwangers weapon and he'll shoot spikes from his tail instead. -TONGUE USE:he whips you with his tongue. -SPIKED TAIL: He goes up into the corner, aims at you with his tail and starts shootin' WEAKNESS: Boomerang attack (from boomer kuwanger) WEAPON GAINED:not sure of the name right now, something like sting laser.
