Challenge 16: Dirty Laundry!

CHALLENGE 16: DIRTY LAUNDRY!

Scenario: Not finished denouncing gender-role stereotypes, Amber returns to do battle in a field suited for her prowess; the Laundry Room! Err…wait, that sounded… Amber will have to use her trusty Soda Pop Gun and clear out the room before the nimble Ninja Imps get the better of her. You’ll have to utilize your time wisely in this challenge if it’s a Platinum medal you’re hoping to bag, as the clock will always be working against you. You’ll only be alloted 10 seconds to start out with, with each Extra Time! Tin found only extending the timer by another 10 seconds. You’ll have to alternate between searching for more Super Soups to keep you in the game, and using your Soda Pop Gun to rattle the Ninja Imps from within their respective Washing Machines. If you master the multitasking element you should manage to sneak away with 30 sudsy Ninja Imps needed to best the Platinum score.

Strategy: As you start off the first line of business is blasting away at the first set of Washing Machine doors around the corner, and then making quick work of the Ninja Imps that fly out in response. You should manage to take care of around 2 or 3 before you’ll have to break away from the action and replenish your timer around 6 seconds or so. Take careful aim at the grouping of round laundry hampers found in the center of the room to the right and you’ll manage to expose 2 Extra Time! Tins from the hampers. Once you’ve managed to pick up the first Tin and extended your timer to about 13 seconds, take careful aim at the hamper to the left of the staircase in this area to expose a third Extra Time! Soup Tin. Once you’ve managed to pick all three Tins up you should find yourself with about 30 seconds to spare and a gaggle of noisy Ninja Imps to contend with. Open fire on the first few Imps with your Soda Pop Gun and then send a second shot toward the second grouping of Washing Machines to the right, doing so will flood the area with even more Ninja Imps that you can take out. Once your timer drops to 20 seconds and you’ve defeated around 6 Ninja Imps or so, it’s time to take the stairs to the right down to the hamper at the bottom which will reveal a pair of Super Weapons! Tins once you’ve cracked it open. Take care of any Ninja Imps that have followed you down the stairs as you pick up the Tins and then work your way back up to the main floor. Take care of any Ninja Imps that clutter the central area here and then veer off to the right where you’ll find another round laundry hamper with your fourth Extra Time! Super Soup inside. Once you’ve exposed the Tin, pick it up quick-like and then turn around to take on the Ninja Imps just coming out of their Washing Machines. You should manage to defeat around 20 Ninja Imps before you have to replenish your timer; the next Extra Time! Tin can be found on the opposite side of the Washing Machines in front of the large window around the corner. Once you’ve exposed the Tin and picked it up, you’ll have to fire a Soda Pop Shot into the Washing Machines in front of the laundry hamper to call out the next round of Ninja Imps before firing a second shot toward the final laundry hamper at the end of the second set of Washing Machines. Make your way toward the final Extra Time! Tin and blast the final set of Washing Machine doors here; once you’ve managed to pick up the last Tin, it’s time to turn around and start blasting at the remaining Ninja Imps. Keep blasting at the Imps as well as the Washer doors ahead and you should manage to earn the Platinum medal before time runs out!
