NOTE
----

I noticed there were no guides for this game. Yes, the game is intended for a
younger audience. But it's still a good game.

I do wonder why there is no crystals FAQ, because I still can't find them
all. I have 95% completion... and I'm missing about 5-6 crystals out of 64.

-------------
SID'S ENEMIES
-------------

Sid is perhaps the weakest character in the game. He requires two hits to
eliminate something smaller than him, like beavers and molehogs.

Attack transfers
2 normal hits = 1 ground slam
2(?) normal hits = 1 spinning hit
* = one normal hit
!!This does not count pinecone or snowball throws!!

1. Beavers **
Beavers are a returning enemy from Ice Age 2, and they keep their charge and
tail-slap attacks with minor changes.

2. Birds / Dodos **
Another returning enemy, the Dodo has it's name changed to the Bird. They now
attack more like the "Tai Qwan Dodos" from the first movie than they did in
Ice Age 2.

3. Spiders * - **
While a returning enemy, Sid's spiders are nothing compared with the giant
Queen Spider and all her minions that Scrat had to fight in Ice Age 2. Use a
ground slam to squish them like the bugs they are.

There are a total of three kinds of spider. The number of attacks they can
withstand depends on type (wall, drop-down, and regular).

4. Molehogs **
A new enemy, the molehogs resemble moles and groundhogs - hence their names.
The molehog does speak two times, once warning you to stop, and the other in
battle, saying "You think we're the only molehogs around here?"

5. Bats *
A returning enemy, but they can't attack you this time. But they will push
you off a cliff, and they will only appear if this could kill you.

--------------
BUCK'S ENEMIES
--------------
{{REGULAR ENEMIES}}

If you directly land on them with a ground slam (like ontop of their head),
then they will get squished and fall over dead. Sometimes, however, it won't
work, so don't rely on it.
