PARIS ARRIVAL {W1005}
---------------------

SUMMARY: Work your way from the stage opening, through the back alleyways and 
pipe works of Paris, stopping along the way to help craft a fantastic soup.
STAGE: Home Stink Home, Paris Streets, Soupy Assistance, Kitchen Pipe
POINTS: 400

When you begin this stage, you'll walk forward and a screen will come up to 
remind you of your Super Sniffer ability.  It's what can guide you through the 
stage, the screen reminds you.  Go ahead and use that ability and you'll see a 
blue trail leading off toward your left, up some stairs that wrap up and 
around the circular room.  Follow the trail up those stairs and collect stars 
along the way (they go toward your completion rate).  Getting onto the first 
step can be more difficult than you might anticipate, but it easy if you cling 
to the left wall and use the lower ledge to ease your way up to higher ground.

Partway up the stairs, you'll arrive at a Ratapult, which looks like a see-saw 
with a ball positioned on one side.  Jump onto the end opposite the ball, then 
press the 'Action' button to activate the Ratapult.  You'll fly over to a 
ledge on the opposite side of a gap, where you can grab more stars and press 
the 'Action' button to break open a bag that contains even more of the five-
pointed treasures.  

Beyond the bag, you'll see a gap you can pass through to enter the Paris 
Streets.  Here, you'll be in a long hallway with some coppery pipes.  Hold the 
'dash' button and run along, jumping over pipes that get in your way.  There 
are a few wide gaps here, too, that you can double jump across.  At the end of 
the straight portion of the passageway, turn right and follow it as it 
continues along some pipes, until you see a ramp heading sharply upward, with 
a bit of CHEESE just to the right, at its base.

Grab the cheese if you need it, but approach the ramp with caution.  You don't 
want to run off the end, or you'll drop into a bottomless pit and lose a bit 
of your life meter.  Instead, let the camera point you to a bit of rope that 
spans the abyss beneath you, where there's an icon showing that you can press 
the 'Action' button.  Jump out toward it and press the required button.  Remy 
will land on the rope, and from there you can ease your way along it to the 
opposite end of the pit.

You'll now see a wide red pipe ahead of you.  There's a bit of CHEESE on the 
opposite side, if you're interested and in need.  Once you're ready, jump onto 
the pipe by leaping into the air and pressing the 'Action' button, at which 
point you can crawl speedily along the pipe as it wraps its way around another 
raised corridor.  You'll come to a ledge with yet another piece of CHEESE.  
Grab it as necessary, then jump to the next pipe and crawl along it as it 
continues in the direction you were headed.

At the end of that pipe, you'll need to be more daring.  There's another pipe 
you must leap to, and this time the transfer takes place over a bottomless 
pit.  Making the leap should be easy enough, so go ahead and do it.  Now 
follow that pipe off toward the left.  If the cramped quarters give you 
trouble getting the camera into a useful position here, remember that you can 
press 'R3' to center it behind Remy for the optimal view.

Head forward to the end of the pipe you're on presently, and from there you'll 
be able to jump once more to solid ground (where you can also grab another bit 
of CHEESE).  From here, double jump up to the next ledge, then another one 
from there.  Now you'll need to run along some hallways where there are two 
more pieces of CHEESE but no turns, until you come to another Ratapult.

Use this Ratapult as you did the last one, to send yourself flying over a wide 
gap.  When you land, you'll be at a grated wall, with a passage leading to the 
right.  Head along that passageway to a rectangular red tin with a lot of dust 
and a bit of blue sparkle.  It looks like a can of sardines.  Jump on it and 
you'll bounce up to a ledge above.  Proceed down the passageway you're facing 
and you should notice some wired grating to your right.  Jump onto it and 
press the 'Action' button to hold onto it, then climb up and toward the 
leftmost side of the grating, where you can land safely on another ledge.  
There's CHEESE ahead, which you shouldn't need at all (but if you do, enjoy).

From that cheese, continue along the passageway and you'll exit to trigger 
some text that says 'Soupy Assistance,' followed by an animated sequence the 
results in Remy exploring a soup kitchen.  Now you're instructed to prepare 
soup, using the directions Remy provides.

The 'Soupy Assistance' mini-game is actually pretty easy.  As Remy gives 
instructions, you'll see the recipe he wants to add indicated in his thought 
bubble.  There also will be four ingredients listed nearby, each assigned to a 
button on your controller.  You need to quickly press that button to dump the 
ingredient into the soup.  The button assigned to each ingredient changes each 
round, so keep on your toes.  It shouldn't be hard to get the hang of things 
and to dump in all the right stuff almost instantly.

When you finish the game, a chef will see what Remy is doing and try to catch 
him.  He'll dash out of the area and into a new zone called the 'Kitchen 
Pipes,' while behind the young chef tastes the soup and savors the flavor.  
Now control returns to you.  From where Remy is standing, walk directly ahead 
past a bit of CHEESE and through an opening.  You'll appear in a new area, 
where you can see stars waiting ahead.  There are 10 of them in the immediate 
vicinity.

When you jump to grab the last star, you'll be jumping into an area that 
serves as a slide.  You must slide down it while avoiding various traps.  You 
can also speed up your descent by pressing the button indicated, and it's 
possible to jump if you wish.  Despite the warning, there aren't many harmful 
traps to avoid at all, just the occasional pitfall (and even those are easily 
dodged).  A more pressing concern is the stars that litter the path.  If you 
can get all of them, you'll get a reward.  That's difficult to do, 
particularly if you are quick to steer left or right.  Straight lines seem to 
yield the best results, as just passing nearby a given star will allow you to 
collect it.  You'll also find CHEESE at certain points down the slide, but 
mostly it's just for show.  You shouldn't need it.  When you reach the bottom 
of the slide, that's the end of the mission.
