Upon starting the level, the player is instructed to go to the vault in the Empresses Jewel shop. Here, she will find all the Time Pieces the Empresses thugs stole from her. The player must pick them all up in order to proceed. However when she leaves, the Empress will catch her red-handed and activates the alarm. Even worse, she places a ONE MILLION dollar bounty on Hat Kid which makes the underlings attempt to catch Hat Kid to win the million dollar prize. Faced with this, Hat Kid Flees as the Empress laughs over the intercom.
Level Summary
The level is essentially a fast-paced, mad dash for freedom from the Empress. However, many obstacles stand in her way of escaping: The Empresses goons who chase the player, the trains, and the Empress herself, who has acquired a rocket launcher. She will aim at a target at the ground, and then she will fire an exploding rocket at Hat Kid at certain points of the level. However, hat Kid must use these rockets to blow up generators that power a force field blocking the way forward. Also, Barriers formed by cats will block off certain parts of the map, turning the Metro into a one way obstacle course that takes the player through all the stations.
Eventually, The path takes the player to the Escape Tunnels, which is exclusive to this area. After more platforming challenges, Hat Kid will arrive at a elevator - only to find the Empress is waiting for her inside! Cornered by her and her goons, Hat Kid is forced inside the elevator, leaving the Empress to kill her. However, two policemen enter the elevator just as Empress is about to finish Hat Kid, which makes her nervous to the point that she runs out of the lift at the next stop. While one of the policemen leaves a little later, the other one stays, and says he wanted to give the Empress the final Time Piece of Nyakuza Metro, but couldn't due to his partner and gives it to Hat Kid instead. Collect it to finish the level.
