3-8

Check your egg count for how many eggs you have (not counting null egg). You must have 4 or less, if you have more throw some. Go into the pipe. Tongue the first Shyguy. wait a moment and then get hit by the second and damage boost past the 3rd. Now spit all 3 Shyguys into the sewer ghost. Stand in the lower area and face to the left.

*Video Example*

If you have 4 eggs you have to do this strat but with 2 shyguys instead of 3. Wait longer before running into the 2nd shyguy.
