Downtown Achacha City

Downtown Achacha City, also known as Down Town, is the first level in every version of the game based on the arcade original. It's the main street of Achacha World, and is home of many of the game's enemies that will crop up in later levels, and is the place where the fire and rock monsters first appear, as well as being the only location to have a KFC nearby.

Characterising features

 * The street has forks in the road that have one side cordoned off due to roadworks. The version released for the Amstrad CPC still contains the forks in the road, but both paths are open to take.
 * Various weapons are scattered throughout the road or can be picked up after defeating certain enemies.
 * As with every level, when enemies are defeated, food used to increase health spawns in their place.
 * There are gaping holes in the pathway in some areas.
 * Curiously, despite the fact that this is supposedly the big city in Achacha World, nobody is around other than the stage enemies, bosses, Colonel Sanders and Bin (with or without Pin).
 * The time of day in this stage is either the morning or mid afternoon, which stays in continuity, as Lucy was kidnapped around this time in the Real World.
 * The stage uses a wide variety of colours, which makes it really stand out.
 * The bosses are present in the Title Card Map, a trend that is kept up throughout the rest of the game. Interestingly, the title card map features a very different design for the KFC present at the beginning of the stage.
