July 15: Gameplay Point #25: Giygas attacks!

The Cave of the Past

Walkthrough

This is it, the final stage of the game. Dr. Andonuts will send you back to Onett to retrieve a piece of the meteorite. Watch out, though! The city has been invaded!

Once you've gotten the meteorite piece, return to Saturn Valley and do some space and time warping. Get roboticized and make your way through the creepy cave of the past until you reach Giygas.

Now it's epic battle time. Fail, and Giygas will rip into the cosmos like a dog on a t-bone steak. Don't pray 'till you see the reds of his insane twisted faces.

Trivia
