There’s a problem at the Mutant Bash TV studio. Mutants have broken free and taken over the entire facility. It’s your job to clean house. Unlike episodes of Mutant Bash TV, the mutants are absolutely everywhere, no longer confined to the arenas, so don’t let your guard down and keep your Combat Shotgun fully loaded and ready to fire. You advance through the studio in reverse order, starting with the backstage area before entering the fourth arena, Shipwreck Cove. The floor spikes here are malfunctioning, emerging in long rows wherever the red spotlights shine on them. While you’re busy blasting mutants, keep an eye on the red spotlights and be ready to move before you get impaled.
When you reach the bonus round arena, the slot machine prop isn’t functioning. That doesn’t stop mutants from crawling out of every opening, including the hatch in the center. With no floor spikes to dodge, this fight isn’t too difficult. Use your Combat Shotgun and Wingsticks to take out the mutants. Switch to your Authority Machine Gun when a tentacle mutant emerges from the central hatch. Circle strafe around the tentacle mutant to avoid his charging and whip-like attacks. Just in case, keep Bandages ready to heal yourself. Focus your fire on the tentacle mutant’s head to take him down faster.
After a brief (yet intense) encounter with some slime mutants in the Monkey Business arena, drop through the hatch in the floor and stock up on ammo before entering the last arena. Shortly after entering the arena, another tentacle mutant barges in. Using your Authority Machine Guns, work together to dish out as much damage on the tentacle mutant as possible. You only have a short time to focus on him before more mutants trickle into the arena. At that point, divide the labor, with one focusing on the tentacle mutant while the other takes out the other mutants. Ganging up on the tentacle mutant early greatly diminishes his health, so one player should have no problem finishing him off. In the corridor beyond the arena, blast your way past more mutants and slime mutants. Pop Rockets work great against slime mutants. Clearing the final corridor completes the mission.
Developer Tips
Try to kill mutants before the floor spikes and spinning ape do.
When fighting the tentacle mutant at the end, have one player focus on him while the other targets the mutants.
