Phase 1: Immediately after the start, Theo slides down the halfpipe, your chance to score the first hit. Then he throws three fish at you, but they are quickly defeated with one jump. There is another chance for you to score a hit. In addition to fish, Theo now also throws sea urchins, which you should best avoid completely. Now meet Theo a third time to get into the second phase. Phase 2: Theos Paint gets a bit more lilan and his tactics are a bit different. Now it rolls sideways at first and cannot be hit. But then he immediately slips down the halfpipe and is vulnerable. This time, penguins jump out of the water trying to meet you. At the end, Theo also jumped out and waits for his fifth hit. His next attack again consists of rolling and sliding the following halfpipe. The perfect moment for hit #6. Phase 3: Now Theo is really angry. First the penguins slide down the halfpipe and then he himself. Perfect again for an attack. The fish he now throws are real chunks and need three hits to disappear. Furthermore, sea urchins should not be touched. Theo then jumps on the halfpipe a few times until he slips and is vulnerable. Meet him now only once again when he goes with his Penguin and this seal is defeated!
