12 — Castle of Fish

The second remix — Glucosamine Desert's layouts with doubled magnifications. Even the closer, Killer Sardines, is not a big deal.

Same remix formula as Neverending Cat Story, this time over Glucosamine Desert: identical layouts, doubled enemy magnifications, no new enemies. The wiki's verdict is blunt — the player will be able to easily beat these stages, and even the finale, Killer Sardines, is not a big deal.

Treat it as a consolidation lap: if Glucosamine Desert's Celeboodle/Dagshund lessons stuck, nothing here will surprise you, and the energy costs stay friendly for farming. (The Japanese name is a pun on aozakana, blue-backed fish.)
