This looks like the same music store in which hangs the much-maligned sign reading "No Stairway to Heaven" and where Wayne's coveted guitaronce hung, but something seems to have to have gone awry.... in a big WAY.  Instruments of the craziest variety are suddenly animated and on the warpathagainst Wayne.  He'll have to navigate crazy scaffolding, bouncing off of drumsand avoiding live wires in order to dodge killer Kazoos and bagpipe enemies, toname a few.Level One Adversaries1.

Sax Mortar*Fires spit gobs (it's punitive).10. Trombone Grabber*Reaches down and grabs (not today, my saucy friend!).11. Wires*Touch'em and you're toast (a shocking prospect).Level 2:  Stan Mikita's Donut Shop     Okay.  This is the land of mutant day-old donuts, scalding grease andspewing coffee.  And it's like "Honey, I shrunk the Wayne"  Everything isoversized (what a time for the babes to be absent).  Falling sugarcubes could belethal.  The grossness herein is majorly huge, as various donut monsters dodisgusting things to get at Wayne.  He'll want to hurl for sure.  Extreme.Level 2 Adversaries1.  Coffee Cups*They lurk & spew (diabolical).2.  Creamers*Up, up and a Wayne! (high bounce-osity).3.  Cruller*Roll out the cruller!4.  Donut Monster*Hocks donut gobs (an abhorrent military option).5.

Grease Donut Monster*Can get you bad (if you get sick, go see a doctor, my friend).9.  Steam Blasts*More hot & burning (could leave you comatose).Level 3:  Gas Works     Okay.  Over at their favorite entertainment establishment, Wayne is surprised to be caught in a cavernous court of video games, pool tables, airhockey, dangerous dart boards, shooting disco balls and giant, six-leggedbeatles.  Anything might happen here.... even an Elvis sighting is possible!Level 3 Adversaries1.  Bar Stool*Again with the bouncing (a top ten enemy...NOT!)2.  Beatles*Who's the quiet one again?3.

Heavy Metal Head*Don't touch his fiery tongue (the "Kiss" of doom).9.  Pyscho Hose Beast*What a babefest..... NOT!10. Rock 'N Roll Boot*Stomps out gimps (a definite public safety risk).11. Yellow Sub*Fires homing torpedoes (John is the father, Paul is the mother, Ringo is thechild, but I digress).Level 4:  Surburbia     Suddenly, Wayne finds himself back in the old neighborhood.  (Shyeeeeeeeeahhhh RRigggghhht!)  The streets look familiar, the mailboxes, fire hydrants, street lights... they look the same, but somehow different.  Could itbe because they are floating in the air about a million miles away from theground?  Likely.  Wayne is closer than ever to finding his buddy, but thebizarreness isn't over yet.Level 4 Adversaries1.  Ducks*Get the net!2.  Garbage Cans*Bounce action again (reminiscent of soup whiff).3.  Lawn Sprinklers*We're schwinging in the rain...!4.  Mail Boxes*Generally larger and more aggressive than female boxes.5.  Suck Cut Guy*Not MY hair, you gimp!6.  Wires*Remember these from the music store? (if at first you don't succeed...fry, fryagain).Who - or what - is the mysterious purple pest called Zantar?
