THE HAG'S MISSION
You play the part of the hag, and you must fly across the land searching for the keys to the underworld, avoiding bats, evil bouncing pumpkins, carnivorous plants and all manner of nasty creatures whilst you look. You must take off and land only on grassy clearings, as trying to fly through trees causes the witch to tumble off. Each coloured key opens only the same coloured door, and once you have entered the realm beneath, you have to jump from platform to platform to pick up the required ingredient for the spell.
