Spacecrafts and pirate ships meet at last

Throughout your adventure you'll come across a variety of costumes which provide Terry with special attack powers. For example, the Aqua Shot outfit allows Terry to blast enemies with water attacks and the Knuckle Mole outfit allows him to use earth-based attacks and dig for treasure in certain areas. Unfortunately, these special attacks are quite yawn inducing. You'll have to use pathetic moves like Trickle or Throw Rock for a long time before gaining any new abilities.

Fortunately, the Fisher King and Mr. Cuisine costumes breathe some life back into the game's costume system. Once you find the Fisher King costume you can play a fun fishing minigame along any body of water you come across. Besides fish, you can also reel in treasure and rare items. It's also quite satisfying to fry up the carp and sardines you caught with your Mr. Cuisine outfit. You can create lots of delicious and useful items by experimenting with the raw ingredients you find.
