Stage 4, named Chaos Maze according to the Genesis Kid Chameleon manual, is a theoretical section of the game Kid Chameleon, comprising all levels from Diamond Edge (right after the third boss, Bagel Brothers) to the end of the game.

Although it is not difficult to outline a main route through the previous stages in the game —mostly by choosing to exit all levels through the flag, the plan for Stage 4 is a perfect maze (as you can see in the map), with many alternate routes and detours. As usual, you'll never know if you're taking the shortest or the longest route until it is too late. Or even later.

  • Stage 4 comprises 33 rounds, including 15 Elsewhere levels, making it the busiest in the game.
  • Extremely good (or lucky) choices can take a player to the end of the game through only 9 levels.
  • Extremely poor choices can make the trip as extenuating as 28 levels long.
  • It is the only stage with no Lions.
  • It is the only stage not to begin with a Woods-themed level.
  • It is the only stage with Cave-themed Elsewhere levels.
  • It is the only stage where flags guarantee you a Path bonus, generating 25,000 each.
  • Almost all compulsory levels that have a flag also have a teleporter that teleports them to an Elsewhere level that doesn't go to the next compulsory level. The only exception is The Hills Have Eyes, where its teleporter Elsewhere 22 can go to Secrets in the Rocks.

Confusion is increased by the absence of flags in most levels.

Rounds[]

Compulsory levels[]

The following levels you MUST visit, no matter which path you take. These usually have flags. Flags usually take you to the next in the list:

Detours[]

The following tries to clarify the whole maze. Notice Elsewheres are not listed under this title. See the map for reference.

And now, for the Elsewheres:

Elsewhere levels[]

  • Elsewhere 17 and 18 consecutively, an alternate path from Diamond Edge to Scorpion Isle.
  • Elsewhere 19, an alternate path from Diamond Edge to Towers of Blood.
  • Elsewhere 20, an optional bypass between Towers of Blood and Alien Twilight, which is also the entry to The Crypt.
  • Elsewhere 21, a dead end in The Crypt.
  • Elsewhere 22, an optional bypass between The Hills Have Eyes and Secrets in the Rocks, which is also the entry to Alien Twilight.
  • Elsewhere 23, a transition level between Secrets in the Rocks and Tunnels Beneath the Woods.
  • Elsewhere 24, an optional bypass between Tunnels Beneath the Woods and Hills of Forever, and also a shortcut to Monster Island (although Monster Island is a detour itself).
  • Elsewhere 25, a dead end in Hills of Forever.
  • Elsewhere 26, a dead end in Monster Island.
  • Elsewhere 27, a transition level between Beneath the Twisted Hills and The Shimmering Caves.
  • Elsewhere 28, a dead end in The Shimmering Caves.
  • Elsewhere 29, a transition level between The Shimmering Caves and Alien Isle.
  • Elsewhere 30, a transition level between The Land Below and Sky Fortress.
  • Elsewhere 31, a dead end in Sky Fortress.

(Phew!)
