No Weddings and a Funeral is the final level of Gex: Enter The Gecko which takes place in Rezopolis. This area is Rez's base of operations. In this level, Gex has to go through various obstacles, traps and enemies to get into the inner sanctum and obtain the final remote before confronting Rez himself in Channel Z.
There is only one red remote mission and two silver remotes.
Missions and strategy[]

Penerate Rez's Inner Sanctum[]
This level only has one mission so we need to get everything on a single pass. This means getting every item you can get your sticky paws on. Start off by heading down the ramp and dropping into the pit. Whack the robot then climb out of the pit using the smooth wall in the corner. Circle around and hop onto the first speaker. The next speaker will begin to circle the speaker you are standing on. As soon as you jump off the speaker you are on the other speaker will stop so time it just right so you can make your way to the far ledge. Remember how these speakers work as you will be using many of them later in the level. Exit through the door.
Gex is now decked out in a white polyester leisure suit and is ready to disco the night away. Jump on the various light boxes to get them all to turn blue. If you jump on the wrong one it will turn red and the mirror will show the correct box you should have jumped on with a green light. When you get all three lights to go blue the mirror will break so you can use the hidden door behind it.
Run across this next room and jump on the remote control. You need to tail-jump on the buttons to get them to go down. Be fast as they will pop back up on their own. They both need to be down at the same time to make the remote rise up to take you to the next level. Walk down the short ledge and hop on a passing platform and ride it around to the other side. Head up the ramp and wait for the fan to shut down (watch the white particles) before going to the top. Sometime during all this a new enemy, Flathead will show up. You can whack him all day long but he will keep coming back, so you need to do a tail-jump on his flat head to destroy him.
Hidden Silver Remote Guide[]
Use the speakers as you did before to go across the room for items then back across for the Silver Hidden Remote which should be in obvious view. Finally go to the ledge near where you started the speaker ride with the TV Power-up. Climb up the smooth wall and run across the conveyor making sure the fan doesn't blow you down to the floor. Climb the wall across the fans when they shut down then climb to the top and take care of another Sentry Robot. Jump on the elevator and ride it to the higher ledge with another Power-UP TV , then exit through the door.
Penerate Rez's Inner Sanctum cont.[]
Another disco and another light puzzle. This one has four lights but is solved the same way so when the glass shatters, exit through the hidden door. If you mess up the pattern a Flathead will arrive so just dance on his head to get rid of him then try again. In the next room is a large speaker floating under some green TV static. Static hurts Gex so tail whip the gear to get the speaker to rise out of the static then jump across it before it sinks back down. Access the 3-switch remote on the other side to rise up to the next ledge.
Another gear on this level triggers two floating dials in the water. Raise them up then jump across them and stick to the wall. Crawl across avoiding the blowing fans. Drop down when necessary and continue to the left across some conveyor belts with blowing fans that need to be dodged. Now you start heading back to the right with more conveyors and more fans. When you reach the far side exit through the door and give that Checkpoint TV to save your progress.
The following section is very difficult in nature, so read this section carefully. Jump across the series of tilted platforms and spinning rollers making sure to avoid the green static whenever possible. Use the Power-Up TV to replenish any lost health then exit. Whip the gear in the next room four times to get the platforms to their highest elevation then quickly jump across. Avoid falling into the purple ooze below as it would lead to instant death and losing a life. Climb up the conveyors and jump to the elevator then to the ledge. Now jump to the first speaker and begin to make your way across the room. The Rez Beast will begin to fire but you can duck his energy pulses. When you make it to the other ledge, whip him a few times and grab the TV Power-up.
Climb the vertical conveyor avoiding the fan. Then make your way across the very narrow conveyors by jumping repeatedly and keeping Gex aimed toward the wall so he doesn't fall into the purple death below. Whip the next gear to raise two more dials out of the green static and jump across. Watch out for the blowing fan near the second dial. Then jump on and activate the 4-button remote to ride up to where you can jump to some more moving platforms. Jump to the red conveyor before the platform enters the wall of static. Then jump up to the higher conveyor and to a moving platform on the other side. Ride it to the ledge with the door and enter.
You are now in some kind of electronic chapel. Grab all the items between the pews and you should get the Silver Reward Remote at this time. Head to the far end of the chapel and jump on the elevator to rise up to the EXIT TV.[1]
