The Moon

**The Moon** is the 8th and final boss in *The Adventures of Cookie & Cream*. It is fought in Tumble Sky & Castle.

## Description

The Moon appears as a yellow circular moon with holes and a face. It has two cartoony eyes with pupils and a long nose. When it turns blue, it will have a sad expression with two droopy eyes. When it comes dark, it will turn black with an even sinister face with two yellow eyes.

## Attack Patterns

There are two parts to this battle,

Phase 1:

In the first part of this battle with the moon, Cookie and Cream have to
shoot it with cannons. At the very beginning of the battle, the moon will
land right in the middle of the arena. Have Cream light it up for an easy
shot with the bottom cannon. After that, your guess is as good as mine. The
moon will attack in one of three ways: when it's yellow, it'll land in a
random spot around the edge of the arena and roll at one of the rabbits or
around in circles; when it's blue, it'll try to land on either Cookie or
Cream, bounce up and down, and then shoot lasers; and when it's black, the
arena will get dark and the moon will repeatedly try to land on one of the
rabbits. When the moon is yellow, this is usually a pretty easy shot. It will
land on the side and roll at Cookie or Cream, and you'll probably have enough
time to shoot it. If it starts to roll around the outside of the arena, just
have one of the rabbits shoot a cannon, and the moon will probably roll into
the bullet. If the moon is blue, it will be fairly large, and it'll try to
land right on one of the rabbits. Watch for the shadow. (That's very
important!) Quickly get out of the way when you see the shadow, and get one
of the rabbits to a cannon. If you shoot it fast enough, it won't actually
get off any attacks. When the moon is black it causes the most trouble. The
whole screen will get very dark. The moon will land in a random spot at
first. Stand on the statues to avoid it. (It won't land on them at first.)
After it lands once, it will pick out one of the rabbits and try to land on
them until it gets shot. (Again, you'll see a shadow before it actually
attacks, so be alert!) The moon doesn't land for long, so you need to time
your shots. Have one rabbit lure it into the open (the one it's chasing), and
the other needs to get a good shot at it. After five shots, the moon will be
done for the first half of the fight. If you want to have any shot at beating
the moon in the next part of the fight, you MUST collect clocks in the first
part. When the moon lands on one of the statues, it will smash the statue and
a gold clock will pop out. It's a good idea to stand on the statues all the
time in between the moon's attacks so that you collect all of the clocks.
There are four of them, and you need as much time as possible when the moon
goes down once.

Phase 2:

The moon will split into five little parts and roll around the arena. As soon
as it splits, there will be a silver clock on each side of the arena. Make
sure that you get them both. It's easier to avoid the rolling moons if you
continuously double jump because you won't be able to see them coming some of
the time. To kill the little moons, you have to jump on them, and then kick
them over the edge by hitting the action button. When your trying to jump on
them, jump away from them, not into them, because they are pretty fast. Once
all five little moons are gone, the battle is yours. A little bit of skill
comes into play in this battle, but it has more to do with luck. So, good
luck.
Boss Difficulty - \*\*\*\*\*

Yahoo! The moon is back and the festival is going off without a hitch. Cookie
and Cream have saved the day. They don't get to go home yet though. There's
still one more world, and it's the most fun of them all: Bonus World.
