Part 9: 09 - Fuck You, Indiana Jones
09 - Fuck You, Indiana Jones
[Last time on Star Fox Adventures!]

[Platforming!]

[Pitfalls!]

[Action!]
[Aaaand we're done! Moving on.]

[Here we are: DarkIce Mines. The mine itself is further in (and underground), but we have some exploration and random do-gooding to...do out here.]

[While we set Tricky to digging up junk and boring holes into caves (evidenced by the circle next to the mushrooms; the icon indicates his assigned action; in this case, Find Secret) we have a trapped SnowHorn who, amazingly, wants to be set free.]

[Further exploration reveals a number of doorways blocked by huge sheets of ice. The Fire Blaster (the full name of the Blaster) does nothing, so we'll have to go find another way in.]

Nah, too sensible. I'm sure we'll meet a magical crabman who can use his claws to slice through the ice or something.

[So we head into the tunnel I sent Tricky to dig earlier.]

[Where we find a few SharpClaws and a LifeForce Door. This of course leaves us no option but to butcher the poor fucks.]

[Behind the door we find some kind of hexagonal chest. Of course, we have no clue how to open it, so-]

Did you just...

Just for that, you're going to be punished.

[This key is for the mammoth's leg shackle.]








A cog.



Don't forget the frumious Bandersnatch and the Jubjub bird.

Don't knock on Lewis Carroll.




Is that thing made of sponge or something?

[Who the fuck built something like that?

[And for the first time ever, those wall-monsters open fire on us.]

[This isn't technically the first place you meet them (they showed up in that cave with the eight million GrubTubs), but these Mini Pouncers start becoming a lot more frequent. They have about half the health of a normal Pouncer, but they also shoot at you from range whereas Pouncers pop up and claw at you.]

[But first a short rest.]







[So, yeah, now Tricky can shoot fucking streams of fire on command.]

[So we can explore some more.]

[And find more obnoxious flying enemies that respawn every twenty seconds or so.








[Anyway, we head down into the hole, break some ice, and then dig up...]

[Joy.]











[The white/red thing is what shows up over Tricky's head when there's something around that he can interact with.]





[After riding for about 20 seconds to reach the door...]

[We're in...somewhere? I guess?]
