MISSION 22: THE SHOPPING BAG HEIST {W1022}
------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Steal the woman's shopping bag by playing a series of mini-games,
then run from the angry chef and the old woman as you escape the market.
STAGE: The City Market
POINTS: 400
For this mission, head to the conveyor belt. Climb up the stairs and then
start down it. You'll see menus forming a bridge to the left, where your
contact is waiting. Talk to him and he'll give you your mission. In this
mission, you need to signal to each of the rats so that they can work together
to snag the food that drew them to the market.
You'll do this by playing mini-games, of course. The first is the fuse mini-
game, in which you must press the buttons that will allow the electricity to
follow the desired path. This is pretty easy. Just work along the path
indicated, pressing the required buttons (as you did in a similar mission much
earlier in the game). Do it quickly, as this counts toward your total mission
time, but don't fret too bad.
When you complete that mission, the rats will manage to hotwire the forklift
and lift the old lady's bag, but the mission hasn't yet ended. You have more
work to do, in the form of another mini-game.
In the second mini-game, you need to switch eight buttons so that they match
the pattern indicated on the top of the screen. On the PlayStation 2, you do
this by pressing 'left' or 'right' on the left analogue stick to move Remy
over a given set of two buttons. Once you stand on a set of buttons, the 'L1'
button will make him switch the color of the left button, while 'R1' will make
him switch the color of the right one. You'll have to match several patterns
in this fashion, all with time counting down toward doomsday.
When you finish that mini-game, you're still not done with the mission. The
next mini-game finds you pulling the old lady's shopping cart with a rope.
You should by now be very familiar with this game. Just remember to press the
button just before the meter reaches the top, then press it again just a
split-second after to hit the sweet spot on the gauge. A few good tugs will
end the last mini-game.
Your mission isn't over yet, though. The food thievery calls attention to
your presence. The chef from the restaurant will now chase you through the
stage.
Rush toward the screen, keeping at first to the middle. Head to the right
side, then the left as you climb a ramp and start over a table. Here, you'll
need to weave through cans of food while the chef chases you from behind and
the old woman runs along the side. Jump over some gaps and continue running
at the screen.
After that point, things get pretty frantic. The main thing is to simply keep
moving. The move that will serve you best is the double jump. Along the way,
you'll find a lot of obstacles that you can run around, but jumping over them
is frequently a viable option, as well. This is particularly true about
halfway through, when you find yourself climbing over stacks of bread.
Continue from there and you'll find a series of planks where double jumps are
your only hope. You'll basically have to memorize things on the fly, so
specific directions for this chase won't serve you well at all. When you
reach the end, though, you'll know it: a scene depicts the chef sliding into a
freezer, and the mission ends.
