Blade Mountain is the third level on Snow Mountain, 12th level generally, and is the first and only level to have Pac-Man use skates In this level, Pac-man skates down a frozen-over mountain through tunnels, jumps, blowing rocks, and other dangerous obstacles. This level is considered the hardest level to do 100% in the entire game, due to the fact that we move so damn fast, and getting the fruit and all the Pac-Dots is a challenge, and you can't go back. If you don't get at least one item, you have to die and start the entire section from Checkpoint. You need to practice a lot. The second hardest level in this respect is Haunted Boardwalk, you also won't be able to go back. Moreover, the Time Trial is very difficult in this stage.
Walkthrough[]
You're on ice skates here, and the first thing you'll notice is that you can't butt-bounce. You'll have to open crates with flip kicks which is a little harder to do. Practice it on the nearby crate. Also note that you cannot rev roll here. Carefully go down the hill and get used to the skates. Go slow at first so that you don't miss anything. If you pass things you can go back and get them but there's a limit to how far you can go backwards. If you miss anything swing back around as soon as you can to get get it. Don't make sudden movements if you want to go right through everything the first pass. Gently move the analog the slightest bit to turn. After a little while you'll reach the checkpoint. The next section is very hard to collect everything on. Once you reach the ramp you'll have to be going just right to eat all the pac dots. If you miss one down here it is possible to make your way back up the hill a little ways but it's not easy. You'll have to spin back up the hill and veer over to the right side (left if you're facing uphill) Pac Man can climb slowly back up along the side. Then swing back over when you get high enough and sometimes you can get dots you missed. On the ramp, you'll want to jump off the top and flip kick to get the box. Keep going and there'll be another ramp. This one you won't be able to get the box unless you speed into it, but that makes getting the pac dots harder. You'll have to though, and later on it gets worse. Speed up into the jump by pressing forward. You'll notice that there is a path to the left and a treasure box on top of a cliff next to this jump. There is a token in the treasure box and a crate with a token on the path. I suggest you go back for them later. It's almost impossible to get all the tokens and the pac dots/fruit on the same run. Just keep going. The next gap you need good speed for as well. The boxes over the next two contain a 1-Up and a token, so you do not need them to get the bonus token. On the last gap with the token, you can go slow into the jump and land on the ice island if you want to play it safe. Remember the bonus token is for getting all the pac dots and fruit. You can come back and collect all the tokens later with no penalty. After this you'll come to a cave. This is like the first cave and you should now find it extremely easy compared to the last section. The next step is similar. There is a huge slide at the end of the level, jump well to collect the Token, and if you jump towards the end of the stage a chest with galaxian maze will appear, then the end of the stage.
Time Trial[]
This level have also the most difficult Time-Trial in the game! Now be warned! Honestly if you like it to complete, you have to practice a lot, remember every part and do it very well. You have to get every possible clock and not get hit with stalactites too much.
Trivia[]
This level, as far as anyone knows, is the second for the most of any particular fruit: 23 strawberries and 22 cherries. He also only has one orange and a melon.
