Each stage's unique hazards can be considered a 'mini-boss' that you must overcome or, ideally, weaponize. Understanding and mastering these environmental challenges is crucial for survival and victory, regardless of your opponent.
- Subway Trains: The 'boss' here is timing. Learn the train schedules and use them to your advantage, or avoid them at all costs.
- Incinerator Flames: The 'boss' is the narrow platform and the instant-kill fire. Stay balanced and throw opponents in.
- Blimp Propellers: The 'boss' is the spinning blades. Avoid them yourself, but try to maneuver opponents into them.
- Gondola Gaps: The 'boss' is the unpredictable movement and the deadly fall. Master jumping between cars and throwing opponents into the void.
Treat each stage hazard with respect, and learn its patterns. They are often more dangerous than any opponent.
