The secret to this is the alternator's threading. You don't want to touch its sparking bushings, which are deadly, but you will have to climb the thing. Walk underneath it, then hop over the last one.Īt the hall's end, you'll find a dark green alternator whose rotor is spinning incessantly. Instead, you'll want to cautiously leap over the first, and land before you hit the second. Since one is higher than the others, you can't Hover Jump over them all. Jump over the first, and you'll be faced with three more. Travel forward until you reach an electrified beam. This will drop you into an even deeper area, and you'll be watching Buzz run along from a side view. Continue until you reach a hexagonal floor grate, which you'll want to Ground Pound through. Run along until you reach an electrified floor panel, and Hover Jump over that. You'll land in a pitch black hall, but Buzz's glowing suit will light the way. Leap over the wreckage to take a blind dive. To continue, you'll have to destroy it, so aim at the large crystal on the other side (Buzz's laser can pass through the forcefield), and blast away until it explodes. It's barely illuminated by dim red and purple lights, and it houses a bright, shimmering shield that's impeding your progress. Shoulder Charge through it, and you'll fall into a dark area. You'll see three Tokens, and a gray ventilation grate. If you reach the impassable gauntlet of snapping spiked traps, you've gone too far turn around and take a right. Run 'round the corner, and as soon as you can, take a left.

Walk up to it, and when it pulls up, run underneath. A few moments later, you'll be stopped by another spiked block, and this one thrusts up and down.

Stand by until they move apart, then dash on through, and keep moving. There's nothing for you in the starting area, so carry on through the doorway, and run through the hexagonal hallway until you reach the spiked blocks. You've managed to infiltrate Zurg's base of operations, but it's an underground fortress filled with all manner of traps, and you'll have to survive every last challenge to face the Evil Emperor himself.
