| - Catfish is the ninth level in Castle Crashers. This level is the continuation of Rapids Ride and is the only level in the game that doesn't change into its own scenario. At the world map, the Catfish level can be accessed as a separate level from Rapids Ride. Being that this level takes place while traversing the river's rapids, the player's movement will be considerably slowed down, so he must procure himself with a flotation device to be able to move through the waters at normal speed. One of these devices will appear each time the player has been knocked down into the water. The environment consists of a river running through the woods, and which leads to the Bears' village. A giant mutant catfish lurks these waters and the bears seem to have proclaimed this creature as a deity or a pet. Once they discover an intruder has entered their domains, the Catfish will be summoned to attack. The monster will emerge from underwater, ridden by a bear, to confront the player. Something that makes this level unique is the sudden intervention of the King's boat, which will aid the player against this monstrosity, and which makes its introduction by killing the last Big Fish in the river. The King himself will be commanding the boat, and three Gray Knights will also be on board. A giant cannon, installed on top of the boat, will be managed by one of these knights. The boat can withstand the powerful blows of the Catfish, and the player is expected to lead the monster so the boat can shoot a cannonball to stun it. Once the Catfish has been defeated, the corpse of the bear will come afloat and be drifted away by the current.
