\"Everything\'s Worse With Bears\" clean-up


You play Spike, out to climb a [[DeathMountain mountain]]. First, you walk through the Meadows, jumping over [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bears]] and [[GrimyWater muddy waterfalls]], and hiding from [[AirborneMook eagles]] by ducking into caves. Then you climb up the Rocky Ledge, dodging [[HomingBoulders rockslides]] and a [[LedgeBats boulder]] that flies back and forth across the screen. Then you walk or climb through the Ice Cap, dodging avalanches and the [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Abominable Snowman]]. Finally, you walk to the peak and plant your flag.
