Stinky Snake Fast Track Through The Level Maps

This article contains a Stinky Snake fast track through the general level maps of the game as well as showing a red path from beginning to exit.  For more information about the game, check out the User Manual. The red lines showing a quick way out of the level is of more importance that the clarity of the images included. They are meant to be fuzzy.

Level 6

Level 6 Map

This level introduces a denser level design. So, a quick out of this level would be to turn left and try to get to the top of the level. Be sure to stop by the church halfway up. Then travel all the way to the right; this is where the Player (Snake) encounters the boss Skunk for the first time.

Level 7

Level 7 Map

This is more of a flat level. You will need to collect limes for when you meet the witch later in the level. The lime trees are located at the topmost platforms. The witch has a clover that you get from her the second time you come close to her. I would suggest getting the reward for the limes, going past her and then coming back. The clover will be revealed — which the Player grabs. At this point, you will be near the end of the level.

Level 8

The lime trees are mostly located up high. You will need these for the Hotel and surrounding suites. This is another horizontal level.

Level 9

Level 9 Map

The leprechaun is introduced in this level. This level signifies the start of the more complex levels. The key to getting through and out of this level is to go to the right to the third mini-platform, up, to the right all the way and then take a mystery plant up quite a bit. Continue to the left slightly and then right a little bit to the exit.

Level 10

Level 10 Map

This level is flat– there is an Old Mill monument about halfway through way up high.

Level 11

This is one of the less dense levels — more monuments, just keep going to the right.

Level 12

Stinky Snake Level Map
Level 12 Map

Another flat level with the first battle between the Player and Skunk. The level ends when Skunk is hurt but not completely eliminated.

Level 13

Level 13 Map

Move to the top all the way and over to the right to the exit. This is one of the complex ones. One way out would be all the way to the right, up a couple of mystery plants, take a left, up a mystery plant and up to the right. This leads to the left. Go upwards all the way, and then to the right to exit.

Level 14

Another complex level. Take a right all the way and then up to the exit.

Level 15

Taking multiple right turns to make it to the top right corner of the map–to the final battle.

 

Boss Interaction Note:

The above level maps can help guide the Player through the game to find Stinky Snake. Please note that in Levels 12 and 17, the Player encounters the Boss, Skunk, and jumping on the boss has no effect like it does with the other skunks throughout the game.

Stinky Snake v2.1 ~ User Manual

Quick note:

The way in which the game is designed is that Snake goes through the game from Level 1) Rendevous to 17) Harris’ with the objective of finding his family. Then after finding the family realizing that he cannot leave the island because of the “Curse of the Cart”. So to be able to leave the island and finish the game, Snake needs to solve this by going back to the beginning of the game. During the second round through the game, Snake has to go to the hidden levels to find people like Claude, the Pirate, the Hermit, and the Colonizer to get clues as to how to get the curse lifted.

Colonizer

There are huge treasure boxes that belong to the Colonizer that is left randomly throughout the game along with keys. These boxes are not accessible until the player has a key and have be given the quest by the Colonizer. The amounts of gold received is on the large side to help when the player falls into the sea water or have been attacked by a swarm of unhappy butterflies.

When the player dies after seeing the Colonizer you loose access to the hidden levels and have to go back through level 17 and refinish your mission to then go on to find up to all 7 boxes (or 70,000 or more coins on hand) and then return to the Colonizer to finish the end of the game.

Difficulty Levels

With the default difficulty level being set to normal, the Player can choose to set this to either Easy or Hard. For a less difficult experience, set this to easy under the Main Menu > Options > Controls. The boss interactions are based on difficulty levels as well. The more difficult, the more health the Boss will have, the more stomping and coconuts that will be needed to eliminate the boss.

Easy

  • No punching from the Skunks.
  • Recommended for younger player.
  • When you fall into the water or loose life, you do not loose anything in your inventory but a life item.
  • Running into the saws cause 25% damage to the Player.
  • The Skunk Eliminator causes a loss of 20% damage.

Normal

  • Skunks do punch back.
  • The Player loose half of coin count when their life is lost in the game.
  • Running into the saws cause 50% damage to the Player.
  • The Skunk Eliminator causes a loss of 40% damage.

Hard

  • Skunks do punch back.
  • The Player looses all of their coin when they loose their life in the game.
  • Running into the saws cause 100% damage to the Player, the equivalent of loss of life.
  • The Skunk Eliminator causes a loss of 80% damage.

Ways to hurt the Skunks

  • The Player can bump into a skunk which will hurt both.
  • The Player can jump onto the head of a skunk thereby eliminate the skunk. This does not work the boss, only on other skunks.
  • The Player can throw coconuts at skunks which is the most effective method for hurting enemies.  Throw a single coconut with the S key while three coconuts with the W key using the coconut cannon which can be found on Level 3.
  • The Player can push skunks off a platform while being careful not to get punched by the skunk being moved.
  • The Player can ignore the skunks completely but this approach would not add to score. This approach also does not hurt the skunks.
  • The Player can use the Skunk Eliminator to remove the closest ten skunks at a time. Depending on the difficulty level there is a penalty for using this weapon. The penalty is Player health therefore limiting the use of this weapon which can be found on Level 5.

Some Odds and Ends

Health Reload

This is the Health Reload that refills the Health heart under the Level number. On some levels, a large pineapple does the same thing as well.

These are lives that you are collecting.

Take these to get to the next level in the game.

Shown here is the clover that the Player will need to collect from the Witch on Level 7 after the second visit. The Leprechaun requires the clover for communication with the Player. Beginning in Level 9, the leprechaun appears and requires that the Player has the clover in inventory.
