+ | Start with loads of worms, plenty of incoming crates, and you have a generous stock of weapons including unlimited Bazookas. After a number of turns, a nuke will be announced, and once detonated it will create a massive flood and poison all worms by 2 health every turn. One turn after that, an earthquake will trigger. However, nothing much happens after that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chances are you're going to be nuked in this level - you're unlikely to finish it before then. However, that in itself shouldn't be a problem. As suggested, try to get your worms away from the edge before the earthquake (which comes one go after the nuke). If you can (and you don't think the enemy will grab them), leave a health crate or two lying around so you can heal yourself after the nuke strikes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So long as you're not stupid (i.e. don't leave worms right near the edge of the landscape, or clustered together), this level should be reasonably easy. | ||

Many weapon crates are scattered around the area, but only a few of them are necessary to beat this mission. On the enemy's 4th turn, the enemy will gain access to all its weapons.

− | + | Navigate around the mushrooms with your Ninja Rope and collected Girder Starter Packs to get towards the vital crate on the bottom-right of the landscape. If you wait too many turns, a nuke will trigger, flooding hugely and sinking the vital crate. Watch out for the enemy's [[Shotgun]]s and [[Grenade]]s, and a group of mines. The terrain is indestructible. At the silver stage and below, you will receive a nearby Girder Starter Pack crate to start you off so that you wouldn't have to use your Ninja Rope to begin the first turn. | |
+ | For gold medal: | ||
+ | # Attach the [[Ninja Rope]] to the very edge of the mushroom, and swing your worm over on top of the mushroom. This may take a bit of practice. If you are struggling, you can build up extra speed by retracting the rope by holding up. Collect the crate, and use the [[Girder Starter Pack]] to build a walkway over the minefield. Stay on the first mushroom, so that Sentry can't shoot you. | ||

+ | ''Note: The briefing text indicates that the mission involves one Worm with an unlimited supply of shotgun bullets is incorrect. The actual ordnance for the mission is:'' | ||
+ | :''3× Handgun, 2× Uzi, 2× Longbow, 3× Girder, Unlimited Blowtorch.''<ref>This message is from WA v3.0 patch info file (patchinfo.rtf).</ref> | ||
+ | Firstly, ignore the briefing - you don't have an unlimited supply of [[Shotgun]] ammo. In fact, you don't have a Shotgun at all. Just [[Handgun]]s, [[Uzi]]s, and [[Longbow]]s as your firearms. You do have an infinite [[Blowtorch]], however, and plus some [[Girder]]s. There are several crates scattered around the field that you can take advantage of, with important ones including a [[Ninja Rope]] and [[Homing Missile]]. Cannon Fodder, the first team, are armed with Uzis. Enemy, the second team, are armed with Miniguns. If you can survive before them, you win. | ||
+ | There are no hard-and-fast rules for doing this one - you have to play it by ear. However, here are a few guidelines: | ||
+ | * On your first go, you can set off the nearby mine with the ninja rope without doing yourself any damage. This should hurt Guard a little. Similarly, you can clear the mine on the far left, as the ninja rope has infinite repeat swings. | ||
+ | * Although the enemy can select which worm they use, they can only select amongst one team - this sometimes means you can stand right by one worm, knowing that it can't take the next turn. | ||
+ | * Cannon Fodder (the team with the worms called Sentry) has the first enemy go. | ||
+ | * If a team can't attack you, it may well have a go at the other team. They can do a fair bit of damage to each other while you're busy collecting the crates on the far left. | ||
+ | * Blowtorches can do reasonable damage - I did 45 damage in one turn in this level. | ||
+ | * You have some girders - use them! | ||
+ | * An old woman launched from the top of the highest leaf can easily kill the worm on the mushroom. | ||
+ | * Sudden death can be a pain in the neck or a blessing... just bear it in mind as it comes quite quickly. | ||

+ | You have two worms with 30 health. Your team has 1 [[Girder]] and 15 [[Longbow]]s, and must collect the crate at the top. Two mines on each side of the Eiffel tower are in the way. The enemy worm sits below the Eiffel tower. As the land is indestructible, the only way to win is to collect the crates containing [[Aqua Sheep]] and hit the enemy worm from underneath. On the enemy's 5th turn, the enemy may use a [[Napalm Strike]], and then a few turns later unlocks the [[Air Strike]]. On the Silver attempt and below, you may occasionally receive health crates worth +15 health. | ||
+ | # Stand on your other worm's head and fire the first arrow to the right, horizontally. Fire your second arrow at the highest mine. The best way to ensure a hit is to use the greatest possible firing angle and adjust the position of your worm until you get it right. The mine will bounce off and land at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. You will need to retreat to the right a little bit to avoid triggering the mine. | ||
+ | # Without moving your worm, fire an arrow upwards with the maximum angle. Use your second arrow to shoot the remaining mine. The best way to ensure hitting it is to position your worm at the bottom of the pyramid's slope, and fire an arrow up with maximum angle. The mine will hit you, but this is unavoidable. | ||
+ | # Move to the bottom of the pyramid's slope and fire both arrows upwards with maximum angle. | ||
+ | # Climb the tower using backflips, then place a long girder so that you can reach the crate. | ||
+ | # Collect the crate and use the [[Aqua Sheep]] to kill General. The Aqua Sheep can be flown underwater. | ||

+ | You have unlimited Uzi, 6 [[Ninja Rope]]s, and a few other weapons available. The aim of the mission is to kill Captain, the worm hiding underneath the left dinosaur, and is armed with [[Napalm Strike]]s, [[Bazooka]]s, and [[Fire Punch]]es. Additionally, three other enemy worms initially stand on the dinosaurs. While this mission is possible to be completed without the [[Mole Bomb]], the mission will be less difficult with the Mole Bomb. Mines are scattered around the back of the left dinosaur, and underneath the left dinosaur too. The crate to the right of the right dinosaur contains 4 [[Grenade]]s, but the very important crate is the 2 Mole Bombs at the top of the left dinosaur. This mission must be completed in less than 5 minutes, otherwise resulting in a draw, losing the mission. For the Silver and Bronze Stages, a [[Jetpack]] crate is summoned near your worms on the round after your first turn, two Jetpack crates at Bronze. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Essentially, to complete the mission: | ||
+ | # Use your [[Ninja Rope]] to collect the crate containing [[Mole Bomb]]s on top of the dinosaur's head. Release a mole bomb to the right, and make it start digging when it walks over the first [[mine]]. | ||
+ | #* If you can’t do an upward rope onto the dinosaur’s head, just rope to the thigh of the left dinosaur, rope towards the bump of the right dinosaur, and rope to the neck of the left dinosaur, and walk towards the crate. | ||
+ | # Use another [[Ninja Rope]] to get your next worm on top of the dinosaur, and set off the first [[mine]]. This should knock another [[mine]] down the hole and into the enemy worm. If it gets stuck inside the tunnel, you can use an [[Uzi]] to knock it down the tunnel, or otherwise use your remaining worms to kill the opponent worm. | ||

+ | Multiple enemy worms are trapped inside the indestructible pipes, and with a few outside of them. You have four worms, each with 90 health, compared to 70 for most of the enemy worms, except a few of them. Among your transport weapons, you only have 5 Ropes, which will be helpful to reach towards the leftmost worm and collect a [[Skunk]] crate at the top of the pipes. Enemy worms are armed with only [[Air Strike]]s and [[Grenade]]s. You start with 1 Skunk, with the intention of wearing some of your enemies enough to kill the hidden enemy worms in one weak shot each, but unfortunately Skunk is locked for 2 turns and you’ll need to collect up to two Skunk crates to access more Skunks. On the Silver stage and below, you’ll also get a nearby [[Dynamite]] crate, with the intention that shooting the leftmost worm becomes optional; just drop the Dynamite from the sky to below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This level is fairly straightforward when you get the hang of it. You should poison all the worms you can't reach (as the landscape's indestructible) as soon as you have the skunk. Until then, use any infinite weapons you have such as the [[Fire Punch]] and [[Uzi]] to do damage. The worm in the bottom right corner is ripe for a kicking as soon as possible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When the poisoned worms have lost all but one point of energy each, start using the shotgun on them carefully. Following these rules, you should have no problems, although it's worth getting under cover, as the enemy will be using plenty of airstrikes. | ||

Alongside a selection of offensive weapons, you also have a [[Ninja Rope]] that is delayed for several turns, and a few [[Girder]]s. | ||

+ | Easier said than done. This mission really relies on [[Super Sheep]] skills. You have to collect the crate at the opposite of the map using a Super Sheep. The crate contains a [[Fire Punch]], which has to be used in order to kill the enemy. Once hit by the Fire Punch, the enemy is tossed far enough from you that the gravestone explosion won't hit you. You must survive and eliminate your enemy to win; you can’t just explode a Super Sheep. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember, the Super Sheep is steered with the left and right arrow keys, rotating direction. Avoid oversteering clockwise in the initial flight, or else the Super Sheep's explosion will hit your worm. Plenty of fine motor movement to briefly tap the left and right keys during the flight of the Super Sheep will be helpful. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Not going for gold will give you closer and thus easier crates to collect. | ||

+ | With your four 100 HP worms and a variety of weapons, kill the enemy. You have a few [[Ninja Rope]]s to help you get around. 300 HP worms may sound hard to kill at first, but they're actually easy to sink: | ||
+ | |||
+ | # First, focus on piling the two worms at the bottom the map. Use a shotgun for that: the first shot has to push the worm on the red wire onto the mine, which will then push him next to his teammate. The second shot will then push both worms onto another mine next to a utility crate. If everything is done correctly, drowning them should be easy. | ||
+ | # Then, on the second turn, kill these worms using either a Dynamite or a Holy Hand Grenade. | ||
+ | # Finally, use your Ninja Rope to go near the remaining enemy and drop a Dynamite or a Holy Hand Grenade (depending on what you've used on the previous turn) on the right of that enemy's head. | ||

Once you are within range, you can begin killing General. One way to kill him is to knock Major down to the ground via the [[Handgun]], the worm triggering a mine that sends General to the water. Remember that all mines are instant. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You only have 5(?) turns before the enemy starts accessing offensive weapons. It is possible to complete this mission in as short as 4 turns. | ||

+ | Basically: | ||
+ | * The first worm digs to the left, using 3 Blow Torches and 1 or 2 Shotguns. | ||
+ | * The second worm digs to the weapon crate (which contains a girder), using 4 Blow Torches. In order to achieve that, you'll have to keep digging downwards, digging three times in total to the left and once to the right. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The second worm must have collected the crate after it finished using its 4th Blow Torch; otherwise, the mission has to be restarted. The first worm has to place a girder as far on the left as possible on its 5th turn, i.e. right after the "Almost here!" message appeared. If necessary, this worm will finish digging to the crate and then collect it on its 6th turn. | ||

Training Exercises
Bronze Medal
To start the missions you need to complete the Bronze training, which includes the following skills tests as shown below.
Grenade Skills Grade 1
You have 50 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP and cannot move. Terrain is indestructible.
- This exercise requires fuse settings to be used to the fullest.
- With whatever the angle of the throw may be just for the 1st ramp target keep fuse setting to one with minimum bounce with a fuse settings of 1-2.
- For the second ramp with a decent angle and power keep the fuse settings to 2-3 depending on the throw.

- This exercise is based on accurate use of shotgun.
- The targets appear in a specific order as shown in the image.
- Shoot the targets as they come, the 4th target requires two shots, one to reduce the ramp.
Bazooka Skills Grade 1
You have 40 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP and cannot move. Wind always travels slightly to the left. Terrain is indestructible.
- This exercise requires a lot of practice with the bazooka with respect to wind.
- There are two targets 1st one on right 2nd one on left.
- For the 1st one use a steep angel with high power and second use a wide angle with low power, while shooting the second one take caution cause it may hit you.
Silver Medal
To access to mission 13 ("Who left the flood-gates open?") and above you need to complete the Silver Medal training.
Rope Grade 1
You have 50 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP but you can walk and run.
- Rope across the very long girder to collect the weapon crate containing a Baseball Bat. Use your Ninja Rope to swing across.
- Whack the target with the Baseball Bat.
Grenade Skills Grade 2
You have 60 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP and you cannot move. Terrain is indestructible.
- Throw grenades as done in Grade 1.
- In Grade 2, you must also hit the third target that is higher up the girders.
Fire Punch Training
You have 50 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP but you can move. Fall damage is disabled.
- Backflip and use Fire Punch to collect the weapon crate. It has 2 Fire Punches.
- Up-jump and use Fire Punch to punch the middle target.
- Fire Punch the left target.
Gold Medal
To access to mission 24 ("Countdown to Armageddon") and above you need to complete the Gold Medal training.
Rope Grade 2
You have 60 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP but you can run and jump.
- Rope across the very long girder to collect the weapon crate containing a Dynamite. Use your Ninja Rope to swing across.
- Drop the dynamite carefully to the target and swing your rope out of there! Find a safe location to land. If you survive, you win.
Bazooka Skills Grade 2
You have 60 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP and you cannot move. Wind always travels slightly to the left. Terrain is indestructible.
- Fire the Bazooka as done in Grade 1.
- For Grade 2, you must let the Bazooka's rocket skip across water to hit a faraway target.
Grenade Skills Grade 3
You have 99 seconds to finish this stage. You only have 1 HP and you cannot move. Terrain is indestructible.
- Throw grenades as done in Grade 2. However, this time, the second-furthest target goes first, and then the closest target.
- In Grade 3, you will need to hit a fourth target that is very far away from you. Try aiming about 45 degrees with 3 seconds fuse and full power.
- As a further step to Grade 3, you must also hit the fifth target that is very high above you. One of many ways to destroy it is to time the grenade to explode mid-air just below the girder.
Beating all stages of Basic Training will unlock the Blood Mode cheat.
Mission 1 - Pumpkin Problems
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 1 | |
Download · Info |
You start off at the left pumpkin. With a selection of transport tools (Girders, Ropes) and limited firearms (Shotgun and Uzi), your aim is to collect that vital crate near the bottom. Be careful, because the enemy worms do have Shotguns and Grenades to knock you down to the deadly instant-fuse mines.
- Walk to the right edge of the pumpkin that you start on and fire a ninja rope just below the oil drum. Retract the rope and try to bounce the rope off of the floor until you gain enough speed to move yourself over the oil drum so you can collect the crate containing the Baseball Bat. Walk behind the artillery worm next to you and aim your baseball bat horizontally and fire. The worm will fall into the three mines below, opening a hole down to the vital crate.
- Walk to the crate and collect it.
Mission 2 - Operation Market Garden
Destroy the enemy. You start with two worms, and an unlimited supply of Grenades and Fire Punches, but a limited amount of Shotguns, Blowtorches, and Girders.
Use girders to get your worms into positions where they can shoot straight at the enemy, then just go for it.
Sources: Yoda's Pagedlh.net
Note: the name of this mission is the name of a military operation during the Second World War (see References to other media).
Mission 3 - All Quiet in the Library
Start with loads of worms, plenty of incoming crates, and you have a generous stock of weapons including unlimited Bazookas. After a number of turns, a nuke will be announced, and once detonated it will create a massive flood and poison all worms by 2 health every turn. One turn after that, an earthquake will trigger. However, nothing much happens after that.
Chances are you're going to be nuked in this level - you're unlikely to finish it before then. However, that in itself shouldn't be a problem. As suggested, try to get your worms away from the edge before the earthquake (which comes one go after the nuke). If you can (and you don't think the enemy will grab them), leave a health crate or two lying around so you can heal yourself after the nuke strikes.
So long as you're not stupid (i.e. don't leave worms right near the edge of the landscape, or clustered together), this level should be reasonably easy.

Mission 4 - Cool as Ice
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 4 | |
Download · Info |
The enemy worm has 100 health and sits below the protective arc near the polar bear. Your 10-HP worm starts off with only a few utilities, including a Jet Pack. Many weapon crates are scattered around the area, but only a few of them are necessary to beat this mission. On the enemy's 4th turn, the enemy will gain access to all its weapons. The best method for completing this mission is to break open the barrier and knock the worm into the water, in two separate turns.
- Use a Jet Pack to collect the two right-most weapon crates, which contain a Longbow and a Dynamite. Fly back to the polar bear and drop the dynamite to open a hole to reach the enemy.
- Use a Parachute to glide down to the enemy (or your second Jet Pack if you still have it), and use the Longbow to knock the enemy into the water.
Beating this mission will unlock the Laser Sight utility, so you can edit its ammo and delay settings while editing schemes.
Mission 5 - Do the Locomotion
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 5 | |
Download · Info |
The aim of this mission is to collect the vital crate at the bottom-right of the terrain. Although you do have some firearms (including a Shotgun), you will not need them to complete this mission, plus they've got a two-turn delay. Your worm starts with 50 health.
- Climb up to the tree and Fire Punch the enemy into the water.
- Blowtorch through the tree, and collect the crate (it contains a Girder).
- Place the Girder so that you can use it as a ladder to climb to the top of the train.
- Trigger the Mine then quickly jump away to avoid harm. The climb down the other side of the train, using the Bungee where necessary, and collect the utility crate (it contains a Jet Pack). Use it to collect the weapons crate on the far right of the map.
Mission 6 - Sand in Your Eye
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 6 | |

Destroy the enemy. Keep in mind that you do have infinite Fire Punches and Longbows, and a solid supply of other weapons and utilities. Unlike you, your enemy cannot move and have less variety of weapons. Both you and your enemy can select worms at the start of each turn, but note that your enemy is split into multiple allied teams.
This one's pretty easy, really... just get to the top of the pyramid with one of your worms fairly early on, and keep plugging away... Don't forget that you have worm select on this round - it can make all the difference! (For instance, the first go is best taken with the worm on the right, on the tree.)

Mission 7 - Not Mushroom Out There...
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 7 | |
Download · Info |
Navigate around the mushrooms with your Ninja Rope and collected Girder Starter Packs to get towards the vital crate on the bottom-right of the landscape. If you wait too many turns, a nuke will trigger, flooding hugely and sinking the vital crate. Watch out for the enemy's Shotguns and Grenades, and a group of mines. The terrain is indestructible. At the silver stage and below, you will receive a nearby Girder Starter Pack crate to start you off so that you wouldn't have to use your Ninja Rope to begin the first turn.
For gold medal:
- Attach the Ninja Rope to the very edge of the mushroom, and swing your worm over on top of the mushroom. This may take a bit of practice. If you are struggling, you can build up extra speed by retracting the rope by holding up. Collect the crate, and use the Girder Starter Pack to build a walkway over the minefield. Stay on the first mushroom, so that Sentry can't shoot you.
- Use the walkway to collect the crate just to the right of the minefield, then teleport to the flashing crate on the far right.
Mission 8 - Big Shot
Note: The briefing text indicates that the mission involves one Worm with an unlimited supply of shotgun bullets is incorrect. The actual ordnance for the mission is:
- 3× Handgun, 2× Uzi, 2× Longbow, 3× Girder, Unlimited Blowtorch.[1]
Firstly, ignore the briefing - you don't have an unlimited supply of Shotgun ammo. In fact, you don't have a Shotgun at all. Just Handguns, Uzis, and Longbows as your firearms. You do have an infinite Blowtorch, however, and plus some Girders. There are several crates scattered around the field that you can take advantage of, with important ones including a Ninja Rope and Homing Missile. Cannon Fodder, the first team, are armed with Uzis. Enemy, the second team, are armed with Miniguns. If you can survive before them, you win.
There are no hard-and-fast rules for doing this one - you have to play it by ear. However, here are a few guidelines:
- On your first go, you can set off the nearby mine with the ninja rope without doing yourself any damage. This should hurt Guard a little. Similarly, you can clear the mine on the far left, as the ninja rope has infinite repeat swings.
- Although the enemy can select which worm they use, they can only select amongst one team - this sometimes means you can stand right by one worm, knowing that it can't take the next turn.
- Cannon Fodder (the team with the worms called Sentry) has the first enemy go.
- If a team can't attack you, it may well have a go at the other team. They can do a fair bit of damage to each other while you're busy collecting the crates on the far left.
- Blowtorches can do reasonable damage - I did 45 damage in one turn in this level.
- You have some girders - use them!
- An old woman launched from the top of the highest leaf can easily kill the worm on the mushroom.
- Sudden death can be a pain in the neck or a blessing... just bear it in mind as it comes quite quickly.

Mission 9 - Water Surprise
You have two worms with 30 health. Your team has 1 Girder and 15 Longbows, and must collect the crate at the top. Two mines on each side of the Eiffel tower are in the way. The enemy worm sits below the Eiffel tower. As the land is indestructible, the only way to win is to collect the crates containing Aqua Sheep and hit the enemy worm from underneath. On the enemy's 5th turn, the enemy may use a Napalm Strike, and then a few turns later unlocks the Air Strike. On the Silver attempt and below, you may occasionally receive health crates worth +15 health.
- Stand on your other worm's head and fire the first arrow to the right, horizontally. Fire your second arrow at the highest mine. The best way to ensure a hit is to use the greatest possible firing angle and adjust the position of your worm until you get it right. The mine will bounce off and land at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. You will need to retreat to the right a little bit to avoid triggering the mine.
- Without moving your worm, fire an arrow upwards with the maximum angle. Use your second arrow to shoot the remaining mine. The best way to ensure hitting it is to position your worm at the bottom of the pyramid's slope, and fire an arrow up with maximum angle. The mine will hit you, but this is unavoidable.
- Move to the bottom of the pyramid's slope and fire both arrows upwards with maximum angle.
- Climb the tower using backflips, then place a long girder so that you can reach the crate.
- Collect the crate and use the Aqua Sheep to kill General. The Aqua Sheep can be flown underwater.
An alternate strategy which is self explanatory:
Mission 10 - Jurassic Worm
W:A replay: Commented gold medal walkthrough of Mission 10 | |
Download · Info |
You have unlimited Uzi, 6 Ninja Ropes, and a few other weapons available. The aim of the mission is to kill Captain, the worm hiding underneath the left dinosaur, and is armed with Napalm Strikes, Bazookas, and Fire Punches. Additionally, three other enemy worms initially stand on the dinosaurs. While this mission is possible to be completed without the Mole Bomb, the mission will be less difficult with the Mole Bomb. Mines are scattered around the back of the left dinosaur, and underneath the left dinosaur too. The crate to the right of the right dinosaur contains 4 Grenades, but the very important crate is the 2 Mole Bombs at the top of the left dinosaur. This mission must be completed in less than 5 minutes, otherwise resulting in a draw, losing the mission. For the Silver and Bronze Stages, a Jetpack crate is summoned near your worms on the round after your first turn, two Jetpack crates at Bronze.
Essentially, to complete the mission:
- Use your Ninja Rope to collect the crate containing Mole Bombs on top of the dinosaur's head. Release a mole bomb to the right, and make it start digging when it walks over the first mine.
- If you can’t do an upward rope onto the dinosaur’s head, just rope to the thigh of the left dinosaur, rope towards the bump of the right dinosaur, and rope to the neck of the left dinosaur, and walk towards the crate.
- Use another Ninja Rope to get your next worm on top of the dinosaur, and set off the first mine. This should knock another mine down the hole and into the enemy worm. If it gets stuck inside the tunnel, you can use an Uzi to knock it down the tunnel, or otherwise use your remaining worms to kill the opponent worm.
Mission 11 - Chemical Warfare
Multiple enemy worms are trapped inside the indestructible pipes, and with a few outside of them. You have four worms, each with 90 health, compared to 70 for most of the enemy worms, except a few of them. Among your transport weapons, you only have 5 Ropes, which will be helpful to reach towards the leftmost worm and collect a Skunk crate at the top of the pipes. Enemy worms are armed with only Air Strikes and Grenades. You start with 1 Skunk, with the intention of wearing some of your enemies enough to kill the hidden enemy worms in one weak shot each, but unfortunately Skunk is locked for 2 turns and you’ll need to collect up to two Skunk crates to access more Skunks. On the Silver stage and below, you’ll also get a nearby Dynamite crate, with the intention that shooting the leftmost worm becomes optional; just drop the Dynamite from the sky to below.
This level is fairly straightforward when you get the hang of it. You should poison all the worms you can't reach (as the landscape's indestructible) as soon as you have the skunk. Until then, use any infinite weapons you have such as the Fire Punch and Uzi to do damage. The worm in the bottom right corner is ripe for a kicking as soon as possible.
When the poisoned worms have lost all but one point of energy each, start using the shotgun on them carefully. Following these rules, you should have no problems, although it's worth getting under cover, as the enemy will be using plenty of airstrikes.

Mission 12 - No Substitute
Every turn, the water will rise. Take advantage of your unlimited Bazookas to hit enemy worms into the water, or at least down to low ground. In your inventory, you've got unlimited Fire Punches, unlimited Dragon Balls, a Girder, and a limited amount of Grenades, Cluster Bombs, Shotguns, and Uzis, plus a Kamikaze and Holy Hand Grenade. If you're focused with aiming properly and do your best to stay away from exposed locations, this mission should be fairly easy.
Mission 13 - Who left the flood-gates open?

Download · Info |
Essentially, your aim is to use one of two of your worms to reach for and secure the high ground, outlasting the enemy worms that try to knock you down. You don't have any infinite weapons aside from the Prod, so it is best to seek a safe location to hide. Alongside a selection of offensive weapons, you also have a Ninja Rope that is delayed for several turns, and a few Girders.
- Use a Worm Select to select your second worm and place a Girder to get on to the central green platform. It is best to end the turn under cover so you do not get shot.
- Backflip onto the silver mechanical arm above you and walk towards the mine, then girder over it so you can collect the weapons crate.
- Bazooka the worm on the blue wire above you to knock him down from his high spot.
- Ninja Rope up to the blue wire, stand in a safe location and then place a Girder directly above the leftmost worm so that he cannot attack you directly.
- Use your Blowtorch to dig upwards as close to the roof as possible.
- Skip your remaining turns and the enemy worms will all drown. If a worm teleports up to your safe haven, use the minigun or longbow to knock him away.
Beating this mission will unlock the Fast Walk utility, so you can edit its ammo and delay settings while editing schemes.
Mission 14 - Super Sheep to the Rescue!
Easier said than done. This mission really relies on Super Sheep skills. You have to collect the crate at the opposite of the map using a Super Sheep. The crate contains a Fire Punch, which has to be used in order to kill the enemy. Once hit by the Fire Punch, the enemy is tossed far enough from you that the gravestone explosion won't hit you. You must survive and eliminate your enemy to win; you can’t just explode a Super Sheep.
Remember, the Super Sheep is steered with the left and right arrow keys, rotating direction. Avoid oversteering clockwise in the initial flight, or else the Super Sheep's explosion will hit your worm. Plenty of fine motor movement to briefly tap the left and right keys during the flight of the Super Sheep will be helpful.
Not going for gold will give you closer and thus easier crates to collect.
Mission 15 - Hot Stuff

Download · Info |
With your four 100 HP worms and a variety of weapons, kill the enemy. You have a few Ninja Ropes to help you get around. 300 HP worms may sound hard to kill at first, but they're actually easy to sink:
- First, focus on piling the two worms at the bottom the map. Use a shotgun for that: the first shot has to push the worm on the red wire onto the mine, which will then push him next to his teammate. The second shot will then push both worms onto another mine next to a utility crate. If everything is done correctly, drowning them should be easy.
- Then, on the second turn, kill these worms using either a Dynamite or a Holy Hand Grenade.
- Finally, use your Ninja Rope to go near the remaining enemy and drop a Dynamite or a Holy Hand Grenade (depending on what you've used on the previous turn) on the right of that enemy's head.
Mission 16 - Trouble on Mount Wormore
Note: this mission is probably a reference to Mount Rushmore, located in the USA (see References to other media).
Your aim is to kill General from underneath the welcome sign. Rope safely over the Mount Wormore monument and break through the signpost, while avoiding getting hit by the mines. Although the enemy has Mortar, the enemy will never use it, and so are only armed with Uzi, so stay out of direct firing range. Once you reach General, the easiest way to kill him is to knock him into the water into a hole.
Beating this mission will unlock the Invisibility utility, so you can edit its ammo and delay settings while editing schemes.
Mission 17 - Chateau Assassin
Hop your worms on top of each other (using Select Worms to switch to each worm) so your last worm can jump up the first oil drum, then use Girders to get up the building without getting hit by the mines. Once you are within range, you can begin killing General. One way to kill him is to knock Major down to the ground via the Handgun, the worm triggering a mine that sends General to the water. Remember that all mines are instant.
You only have 5(?) turns before the enemy starts accessing offensive weapons. It is possible to complete this mission in as short as 4 turns.

It is not easy to have everything working as intended, but if there are any survivors, just kill them afterwards (except the General, which you should kill as soon as possible because he plays very often).
- First go, hide in the E (in the small tunnel between the two top bars, in order to reach it: go below Assassin, walk backwards until the worm blocks you and jump) and kill the worms on the M using a Napalm Strike.
- Then, kill the Assassin using a Longbow; this may kill the previous attack's survivor(s), if there are any. Use your second shot to push the Field Soldier so it is closer to the barrel. Retreat in a way the General will have to get close to the A - you'll need that A as a wall for the Minigun to work.
- Go down and kill the General using a Minigun. Retreat left in the E as far as possible. (Don't climb on the A like I did in the replay, as this messes up the leftmost pile.)
- Kill the rightmost worm (Field Soldier) using a Homing Missile.
- Kill the two leftmost worms using a Banana Bomb: in order to do that, use the Ninja Rope so you can go to a place where you think you can fire the Banana easily.

The following walkthrough is absolutely fool proof but also boring to perform.
- Collect the two crates closest to you, which contain 2 ninja ropes and 2 blowtroches. Use a single ninja rope to collect the leftmost crate, ignoring all other crates along the way. This crate contains a Pnumatic drill, which you can use this turn to collect the flashing crate.
- Fire your second ninja rope straight up to escape this pit, and then use it to get on to the red tentacle above. Fire an uzi to knock the two top-most enemy worms off of the red and green tentacles.
- Jump onto the brown stalagtite and blowtorch up towards the roof of the map.
- Launch the Nuclear Test for fun.
- Go and make lunch because you will now win the map with no further keyboard input. Sudden death will eventually trigger and the all enemy worms will eventually drown.

Mission 22 - Go Bananas
You don't have many turns to collect the crate; an Earthquake occurs a few turns after the mission starts.
First, ignore your first two worms and just play with the third one: don't forget to select it at the beginning of each turn. Then, well, focus on digging a way to the crate:
- Fire a Bazooka on the Sentry so you can walk to the next fruit; don't forget to fall down right after firing, during your retreat time.
- Then, open the way to the first banana by throwing a Grenade behind the Guard.
- Walk to the banana and use Blow Torch to dig through it; aim it upwards. Do not walk back to the beginning of your tunnel during the retreat time, otherwise CPU won't help you finishing digging.
- Remove the remaining tiny wall using a Bazooka. You're done with the digging job.
- Finally, walk to the right until the crate, paying attention to mines. Fall down with a bungee or a parachute in order to collect it.

Boring but easy. Just rope to the rightmost enemy, and then every turn until Sudden Death wait without doing anything. Warning however, when it's going to be the worm you're close to's turn, you have to freeze on the last second of the turn, so don't be in a continuous awayness! Turn order for CPU worms is Left -> Right.
On Sudden Death, you don't have to wait anymore, just to skip until it's guaranteed that all the 3 other worms will die within the next two turns. Once it's the case, just kill the enemy you're close to using a Blowtorch.

Basically:
- The first worm digs to the left, using 3 Blow Torches and 1 or 2 Shotguns.
- The second worm digs to the weapon crate (which contains a girder), using 4 Blow Torches. In order to achieve that, you'll have to keep digging downwards, digging three times in total to the left and once to the right.
The second worm must have collected the crate after it finished using its 4th Blow Torch; otherwise, the mission has to be restarted. The first worm has to place a girder as far on the left as possible on its 5th turn, i.e. right after the "Almost here!" message appeared. If necessary, this worm will finish digging to the crate and then collect it on its 6th turn.
Beating this mission will unlock the Banana Upgrade, a special cheat which when enabled creates many more powerful banana clusters that deal 100 damage instead of 75.
