* Completing [[Mr Skops' Stalactites]] unlocks the final level, [[Mr Dark's Dare]], on the [[The valley|the world map]] no matter if all [[cage]]s have been broken. However attempting to enter it before doing so will result in the game telling the player to "free the world first". | |||

Sorry folks, this apparently can't last. Do you want to play or what? ... one fateful day, the evil [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] and defeats [[Betilla]] the Fairy as she tries to protect it! The [[Electoon]]s who used to gravitate around it lose their natural stability and scatter all over the world! Troublesome, isn't it? And untidy, too! In the now-unbalanced world, strange phenomena begin to occur: freaks and hostile characters appear, capturing every [[Electoon]] they can find! | Sorry folks, this apparently can't last.
