This stun does not wear off for most enemies, yet some enemies are only momentarily paralyzed by it, and it does not work on a few enemies.
In episode 4, the enemies are mostly based on animals or nature ; in episode 5, they are mostly robots and electrical creatures. In episode 6, the enemies are invented and alien-like. Episode 5 has keycards that are needed to open the final doors in some levels. Episode 6 features very large switches Keen needs to either jump on, or headbutt to use.

Humorous references can be found in the characters, enemies, items, back story, locations, levels, signs, and animations.
Also, at the end of episode four, the Oracle has the sign "Acme Oracle" written on it in the same alphabet. Tom Hall 's original document from showing the entire SGA. The Standard Galactic Alphabet , also known as SGA , is the writing system used to depict Omnispeak , the alien language of choice in the galaxy in the Commander Keen fictional universe. The player usually first discovers the alphabet in the first Commander Keen game, Marooned on Mars , where Keen telepathically hears an alien inside a shrine say: "It is too bad you cannot understand the Standard Galactic Alphabet, human".
In reality, it is a simple substitution cipher created by Tom Hall for the Commander Keen series. Originally for Keen 1 he drew some graphics for Exit signs which he made look a bit more alien by changing the ordinary Latin letters a bit. Because the texts are still in English , however, it is not an artificial script. In the Keen 1 level in which most players obtain the pogo stick, a short horizontal dash above a long one appears on either side of the word "POGO", perhaps as quotation marks.
No other known punctuation exists. There is also no capitalization , and numbers are absent. Players of the Keen series that spent the necessary time could figure out SGA by looking at the many signs throughout the games. Keen 3 is particularly helpful, since it has a relatively large number of signs with both SGA and Roman letters. Another alphabet sign can be found in Keen 6 in the Blooglab Space Station level.
Knowing the complete alphabet is necessary for the player to decipher a letter which explains part of the storyline at the end of Keen 5. In addition to printed signs within levels, the SGA was found in level design features. The misspelled word " FUCL " is made of yellow platforms inside a field of red platforms.
Joe Siegler later wrote a secret message that said " Dopefish lives" in the walls of a Rise of the Triad level. The story goes that during Rise of the Triad development, one of Tom Hall's instructions to the level editors was not to "write words in the levels with the walls". SGA has not had much other official use after that, but Tom Hall invented a syllabary to create a more complex "alien" language used in Ion Storm 's Anachronox. Invasion of the Vorticons , Goodbye, Galaxy!
