Planets[edit]
Starting Platform[edit]
The Starting Platform consists of a square metal sheet with railings overlooking the Magmaargh Area. Fluzzard sits on a perch near the northmost railing. Asignboard closer to the east railing explains how controlling Fluzzard works. In the mission "Fluzzard's Wild Battlefield Glide", there are two orangeJibberjays on the west side of the platform. The one farther from the starting point tells the player how to get theComet Medal, while the one closer to the starting point allows the player to start gliding. In the mission "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy", theblack Jibberjay is near the center of the platform and he challenges the player to a race. In both missions, once the player passes through the final gate, they return here automatically for the Jibberjay that initiated Fluzzard gliding to grant them the Power Star.
Fleet Glide Planet[edit]
The Fleet Glide Planet is split up into five distinct areas.
Magmaargh Area[edit]
The area is one vast pool of lava. The only inhabitants areMagmaarghs which rise and try to burn the player and Fluzzard. The first gate is located here. There is also a tunnel that leads to the second area. During "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy", there areUndergrunt Gunners in this area.
Metal Block Area[edit]
This area features many mechanical intrusions such as engines and poles. There are no enemies located in this area during the first mission, but during "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy", there are Undergrunt Gunners in this area. The player can go under the planet to find the second gate.
Thwomp Tunnel[edit]
The area is one long tunnel. The only inhabitants are a fewbats, twoThwomps, and threeBanzai Bills that shoot out from cannons near the end of the tunnel. The third gate is found here. During "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy", two Undergrunt Gunners are added in this area.
Collapsing Room[edit]
This is the largest area in the level. When the player first enters the area, three pillars slowly begin to fall. Not only that, but a gate at the end of the area slowly closes. If the player is not fast enough, the gate closes and the player crashes and loses a life. Many poles also serve as impediments. There are no enemies in the area except during "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy"; there are Undergrunt Gunners in this area. The final two gates are found in this area.
Airship Area[edit]
The final area has a cage, containing theComet Medal. The player needs to have passed through all five gates to get it, though. Undergrunt Gunners andAirships that fireBullet Bills are also present and may try to knock down the player and Fluzzard. During "Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy", there are even more Undergrunt Gunners and Airships than the first one.
