MISSION 08: ROOFTOP ROMP {W1008}
--------------------------------

SUMMARY: Run along the rooftops that overlook the previous areas you've 
completed, playing through bonus stages for rewards along the way.
STAGE: The City of Lights, Say Cheese, That's a Loot of Fruit
POINTS: 200

From where you sprung the final trap, head back toward the outer edge of the 
area.  You might remember the wire grating along the wall that I referenced in 
the previous mission walkthrough, near to the headlight of the motorcycle.  
Head there now and you'll find a hole you can now pass through to enter the 
next area.  

This new area can be intimidating to beginners, but don't let it bother you.  
As you move forward, you'll see some cables stretched over a bottomless pit.  
You can jump out over them and press the 'Action' button to find a foothold.  
Then walk along them, adjusting your balance carefully as you collect stars 
and jump across a total of three such ropes.  On the opposite end, you can 
also break open a bag for some stars before passing through a new hole that is 
covered in webbing.

At the other side of that passage, you'll notice a spool of thread lying on a 
ledge.  Walk over to it and press the 'Action' button to kick it over the 
edge.  This will cause a rope of sorts to drop down, so that you can climb 
back up and continue from this point if you happen to fall to the street below 
(which, you'll note, is the street where you distracted the dog with that 
bone).  For a quick second, climb down that thread and look to the broken rain 
gutter to your right.  Just to its left, there's a small hole you might miss 
seeing.  Crawl into it and break open a sack for some stars, then head back 
outside the hole and climb up that thread you dropped.

From where you kicked down the spool of thread, look toward the wall to the 
right.  You can (and should) climb along some eves to receive some stars and 
even to find a piece of CHEESE.  When you reach the far wall, continue left 
along the gutter for still more stars.  As you reach its end, the gutter will 
drop a bit.  Jump from its end and to a pipe upturned along the wall.  Then 
from there, you'll see some iron rods extending from the wall with blue 
sparkles that indicate you can press the 'Action' button to leap along them.  
That's precisely what you'll want to do, until you reach solid ground on the 
opposite side of the area.

From here, you'll see that the stone structure wraps around back to your 
right, but straight ahead you'll also see a slope leading down to some cheese 
gathered on an awning.  Head down there and you'll be able to enter a bonus 
stage called 'Say Cheese.'  If you enter and complete the stage, you'll 
receive a reward.  Therefore, go ahead and enter it.  You'll find directions 
on how to pass it with all of the cheese if you press CTRL+F and enter 
'{B1002}' as a search term to search the document.  Once you've finished the 
bonus stage, return here.

Back in 'The City of Lights' after the 'Say Cheese' bonus stage, you'll find 
that you can't jump back up to where you were.  That's okay, though, since you 
definitely wanted to complete the bonus stage.  So go ahead and press the 
'Action' button near the object that's lying nearby.  It's an umbrella you can 
use to float down to the bottom of the street.  You're back in the area where 
you broke all those mousetraps.  Head back past the dog and out into the main 
street, then take a right and head toward the end of the alley.  Nearby, 
you'll notice a blue column of light.  You can go there if you want to enter 
the 'That's a Loot of Fruit' bonus stage.  For now, ignore it.  Instead, 
continue past that and you'll find a sardine can you can use to spring up to 
another can and then up to the top of a dumpster.  From there, you should be 
able to make out an area where there are some bags in a dumpster that you can 
break open for stars, along with a bit of CHEESE.  Around the base of the 
dumpster, there's also a sack you can bust open for some stars.

Grab the goods, then return to the street if you like.  Now, if you like you 
can head to the blue column of light near the bicycle to play the 'That's a 
Loot of Fruit' bonus stage.  Go ahead and do so if you like.  You can press 
CTRL+F and enter '{B1001}' as your search term to find instructions for the 
bonus stage.  Once you're done gathering fruit and collecting your reward, 
return to this portion of the walkthrough.

Once you've completed the 'That's a Loot of Fruit' bonus stage, head back to 
the area with the motorcycle, where you destroyed the mouse traps.  Near the 
base of the motorcycle, turn to face the wall to your right and you should see 
where you dropped some thread from above.  Stand near it, then jump and press 
the 'Action' button to climb back up it to the area above.  Now make your way 
around the wall and along the ledges until you reach the area where previously 
you dropped down to complete the 'Say Cheese' bonus stage.  This time, loop 
back up around and collect a star and a dart (you should now have six of the 
seven).  Up top, you'll talk to a friendly rat who will give you instructions 
on proceeding.

Past the rat, you'll find a gauntlet you must run, along with a crate you can 
use to disguise yourself if necessary.  Well... it turns out that disguising 
yourself is necessary almost immediately.  Grab the crate and put it over your 
head, then inch forward.  You'll trigger an alarm.  A cat is perched on a 
nearby ledge and has seen you.  Inch forward and you'll see a star on your 
left and the final of the darts on your right.  Grab it for a hefty 4000 
points for Gusteau's store (you'll have to ditch your box for a moment, but 
it's worth it).  Nice!

Grab the star, too, and keep moving along the ledge toward the cat.  
Conveniently, once you get behind him the cat won't notice you.  He'll just 
sit there purring.  Beyond him, you can ditch the box and press the 'Action' 
button to send a spool of threat tumbling to the area below.  Now you can 
return here quickly if the need presents itself and you find yourself 
somewhere down below.  Note that there also is an umbrella here, though you 
have no reason to use it right now.  Instead, continue left to collect a star 
and break open a bag for still more stars.

Ahead, there's a ledge you can jump to, but before you do that, rush ahead to 
find another bag worth more stars.  Break it open, then return to that blocky 
ledge and you'll be looking at some chimneys.  As hot air rises, the lids 
periodically flip wide open.  You don't want to be standing on them when that 
happens.  Jump from one to the next, waiting until the one in front of you has 
just recovered from a bout with hot air.  When you get to the other side, run 
to the wall and break open another sack worth more stars, then run along the 
wall quickly (an alarm will sound, but that's fine) toward your left to find 
cover.  There's a second cat here, straight ahead.

The way to proceed toward this cat is to continue using block outcroppings for 
cover.  Let the meter fill back to complete green, then jump over one block 
and rush to the base of the next.  Keep repeating that process until you are 
safely past the cat.  Past the cat, you'll find a bag you can break open for 
more stars.  Do so, then proceed through the passageway that waits beyond.

You're now standing on an awning near an umbrella.  Ahead, you'll see a star 
floating in space, some rooftop cooler vents rotating to your left, and a 
beachball below.  Grab the umbrella and use it to drift out straight ahead to 
the star, then let yourself float down to the area where the ball awaits.  
Ignore it for now.  Instead, head left through the opening in the fence.  Grab 
a star as you double jump your way up the cooling system platforms.  When you 
reach the top, you can pull a lever by pressing the 'Action' button.  This 
will create a ramp leading down to the area with the ball.  Head down the ramp 
and hop onto the ball, then roll it up the ramp and around the ledge to the 
area ahead.

On the ball, you can harm some enemies that might otherwise harm you.  In this 
case, those enemies are a bunch of cockroaches.  Roll along the ledge and 
squash every last one, then follow the corridor as it wraps around to the 
right.  Here, you'll find a divide in the path, created by a ramp that leads 
up along the left wall, and a lower path past another of the balls to the 
right.  Follow the lower path for now, under an archway to where you'll find a 
box.  Beyond that, cockroaches are circling a platform with what looks like a 
hot sauce bottle (a CHILI BOMB).  Destroy the insects, then jump off the ball 
to collect the chili bomb.  Carry it over to the large blue box and use it to 
blast it open for a bunch of stars.

Now return to the intersection where you saw that other beach ball.  Jump onto 
it and roll up a ramp and around the area above, where you can crush more of 
the cockroaches.  Work your way along this path and you'll find several groups 
of them to crush before heading up a staircase.  Up top, on the wooden 
planking, there are several more groups of the bugs and also holes you can 
fall through.  Avoid the holes, squash the bugs, and continue along the ledge 
as it works back down into a new square area.

Here you'll find a Ratapult, a spoon, and a box that you can break open with 
said spoon.  Go ahead and do so for some nice stars, then use the Ratapult to 
reach a higher ledge.  From here, walk along a series of two ropes to reach a 
table where you can break open a bag for more stars.  Do so, then drop down to 
the ground below by way of a chair.  To your left, make sure that you knock a 
spool of thread down toward the ledge below by pressing the 'Action' button 
next to it.

Ahead of the table you landed on when arriving in this area, you should see a 
CHILI BOMB resting on a crate.  Jump up to grab it, then drop down carefully 
to the lower crate, and from there to the floor level.  Run across to where a 
plank leads up to a raised ledge, and to the right you should see an upside-
down bucket and a box.  As you near the edge of the ledge the plank leads up 
to, the crab hiding under the bucket will grab the chili bomb from you, then 
blow itself up momentarily.  This will reveal the stars that were hiding in 
the nearby box.  From there, double jump over the fence nearby, to where two 
garbage pails wait on the other side.  There's a bag there that you can knock 
open to obtain some stars.  Then there's a sardine can you can bounce from to 
reach the other side of the fence again.

Now that you've collected some stars, it's time to return to your proper 
mission.  Head back to where you just grabbed the chili bomb, and from there 
jump onto the redwood table.  Now head to its corner (noting a meat-themed 
bonus stage you aren't allowed to attempt just yet) and from there you can 
jump onto a rope and use it to cross over to a rooftop chimney.  From there, 
you'll find another rope to cross.  This one leads to a star and a passageway.  
Collect the star and proceed through the passage to complete the mission.
