MISSION 07: RAT TRAPS {W1007}
-----------------------------

SUMMARY: While avoiding a patrolling dog, Remy disables rat traps by gathering 
spoons and using them to spring the traps.
STAGE: The City of Lights
POINTS: 200

The stage begins with you still standing by the car tire.  Run forward to 
where you should see your brother, Emile, highlighted.  Talk to him and he'll 
point to the fact that the nearby area is full of rat traps that make things 
unsafe.  There also happens to be a dog patrolling. He tells you to gather the 
nearby spoons, which are situated on surrounding window ledges, and use them 
to disable the four active traps within the area.

Once you've received your instructions, you can start on your task.  Remember, 
though, that touching a mouse trap is fatal.  You will die, even if you do so 
with full health.  Therefore, steer clear of any trap in the area.  Give the 
nearest trap a wide berth.  Step a few steps to the right, then look out to 
where the dog is pacing.  You can actually get past him pretty easily just by 
making a mad dash for it as he's patrolling around the center pile of trash.  
Just hold the 'dash' button and sprint across to the opposite side of the 
area.  Note that there's a trap there, and also one near the rubbish the dog 
is guarding.

When you arrive on the opposite side of the screen, you'll find a spoon you 
can grab.  Carry it near to the trap at the closest pile of garbage and swing 
the spoon.  It'll break the trap and that's one out of four tended to.  

Now, from there you need to head back to the center bit of rubbish.  If you 
stand on the crate, you're safe from the dog's reach no matter how much the 
alarm sounds.  Just double jump onto the crate, then look over to your right 
(while Emile is slightly left of straight ahead of you).  You'll notice a 
garbage pail of greenish hue.  Dash toward it and there's a box of sardines at 
the base.  Springboard off that box and onto the pail, where you can find 
another spoon.  With the spoon, head to the trap near Emile and break it with 
the spoon (be careful not to step onto it while approaching).  Now you only 
have two traps left.

From where you now stand, head back left around the garbage and you'll notice 
a Ratapult that you may have seen before.  Now's the time to use it.  Stand on 
the end opposite the ball and press the 'Action' button to put the contraption 
to use.  You'll fly up to a garbage can with a crate resting on it.  Jump onto 
the crate and from there, double jump onto the seat of a nearby motorcycle.  
Grab the stars along the top of the vehicle and a dart that goes toward your 
'Colony Mission' objective.  A note on that: if you collect seven darts, you 
complete your mission and receive 4000 points toward goodies in Gusteau's 
store.  Now back to the task at hand.

Stand near the front side of the motorbike, where the headlight is positioned.  
From there you can jump to a board for another star.  To your right, you'll 
see some wire grating along the wall.  You can't do anything there just yet, 
but note its location.  You'll be coming back here for the next mission.

For now, though, head left along the wall past the steps where you found the 
area's first spoon and sprung that first trap.  Continue beyond that to the 
base of a dumpster, where you can break open a bag for some stars.  Skirt the 
dumpster as you head along the wall (watching for the dog) and you will find a 
place where a red chair has been overturned.  Be sure to explore this chair to 
find two more of the area's darts.  Then climb up from the board onto the top 
of the dumpster, where there's yet a spoon near the corner, as well as a dart 
on that level and another one high on the wall to your left.

For now, ignore the spoon and climb up to grab the dart.  You now have four of 
the seven darts.  Then grab the spoon and backtrack down the board and along 
the chair, down to the ground (a straight drop down would harm you, 
unfortunately).  With this spoon, go ahead and break the trap near the 
patrolling dog.  That leaves only one more trap to worry about.

The last trap is also near the patrolling dog, and the last spoon is near the 
motorcycle.  Head toward the bike's rear wheel, and from there look toward the 
nearby corner where bits of broken pipe lead upward.  Climb them to a stone 
ledge where a spoon is resting.  Take it, then drop back down below and cross 
over to the final trap while the dog is retreating.  Spring the trap carefully 
with the spoon and the mission ends.
