Part One: Time Box
One Up finds his ancestor Homestar's time box buried in the ground! Immediately when he finds it, a couple of Stickly Spawns will run up and surround you. One Up mentions that they want his time box so that Stickly Man's Stickly Mech will be complete! Coincidentally, a SWAT hovercraft pulls up and runs over a few Stickly Spawns. Stinkoman is the driver and mentions for you to get in the back storage! Follow One Up to the back of the truck and jump in. A 'defend the truck with 3D shooting' shooter will commence. The SWATcraft will drive off, but the Stickly Spawns will grab some hoverbikes to chase the truck with!
Part Two: Shoot Them Sticks
NOTE: To control the Laser Turret, use the ACTION button to fire and the analog stick/d-pad to aim. To charge up, hold the ACTION button. Release to fire a blast of energy.
The mini-game will start by the flying SWAT truck going down the field. Trees will pass by to your left and right. The moment the game begins, two motorcycles, each with a driver and a gunner, will pull up. A health bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, telling you how much armor the truck has. Aim at the motorcycles themselves. Stinkoman will eventually turn left, which means you'll automatically be facing a roadblock. The roadblock will automatically burst, and two hovercars, each with a driver and three gunners, will drive at you. Quickly take them out, or the next part will be trouble. They have stronger laser guns, so this will be more of a problem. After five seconds of speeding down the road Stinkoman turned left on, you'll see two alleyways to your sides. A motorcycle with a driver and his blaster will pull up on the left, and another SWAT hovertruck will come from the right. This is none other than Bubbu, whose truck is invulnerable to attack. When he pulls up he'll fire some plasma grenades from his SWAT truck turret on top of the truck, causing some of the vehicles to explode. After four more seconds of driving, we hear Stinkoman crashing through a brick wall.
Part Three: More Shooting and a Suicide Run
The truck will swerve to the right, going down a futuristic boulevard filled with terrorized citizens. You'll have to face something much worse now: Stickly Jets! One will descend from the sky and fire at you rapidly, draining the truck's HP quickly. Shoot the main engine below the jet to destroy it. After six seconds from crashing through the brick wall, three more motorcycles will come in, with the same gunner and driver for each. Shoot them down before seven seconds are up, which means Stinkoman will crash through another brick wall and speed down an alleyway, and a car with a driver and two Stickly Jets will come in. If you haven't taken down the motorcyclists, you're in deep doo-doo. To make life easier, aim for the explosive propane devices at the walls- they'll set fire to the land vehicles. Stinkoman will then exit the alleyway and turn right once again, into a checkpoint aura of green, where the truck's armor is replenished.
Part Four: This is getting BORING!!!
As soon as the truck's armor is replenished, a checkpoint will be marked. Bubbu will handbrake before you and skid sideways to block the incoming intruders. Three rockets will fly by, take them down before continuing. The truck will now hover in the sky. You are now in skyscraper mode, where rockets will fly by past you. Shoot them down because they do great damage to your truck. After twenty seconds of shooting rockets, a Stickly Jet will join in on the action and try to take you down. Destroy it before more Stickly Jets come in by twos. Defeat ten of them to finish the job.
Part Five: Fighting
Something will hit the truck. It's none other than the giant Stickly Mech, a metal Xiao Xiao type stick figure with robotic eyes! He snatches One Up and his time box and swallows them in his mouth. The truck will go down to the field, where Coach X will be waiting for your arrival. Take down that Stickly Mech!
Stickly Mech HP: 2500 Strategy: You'd think by now that since the Stickly Mech is equipped with loads of armor and defense minerals that you have to hit it other than the chest. WRONG! Fighting this battle with Homestar and Coach X will be a snap. Keep attacking the chest with airborne attacks and items- attack it even when the Stickly Mech's attacking you. For an easier time, just have your Pyro Star Boots equipped and set fire to the Mech. It'll drain the robot's health quickly.
