As the name suggests, Gusher Gauntlet features many Gushers to use for navigation, offensive tactics, and defensive tactics. The first areas use Gushers for platforming challenges, before turning to defensive tools in the third and fourth areas. The final area uses Gushers to ambush enemies while climbing a tall tower to get to the Zapfish.

Collectibles

Sunken Scroll

S Sunken Scroll 4.png
This scroll was found in a deep rock layer, its age estimated at approximately 2,000 years. It details the ancient Turf Wars of the time. It seems the ancient four-versus-four battle format had already been established at this stage.

Location: The Sunken Scroll can be found after the final checkpoint.
