Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, cross platforms to a moving platform in the water. Jump on it when it nears.
  2. 2
    On the other side, jump and spin to kill a plant and land on a platform.
  3. 3
    Hop up platforms and break the first box at the top.
  4. 4
    Use moving platforms: jump onto the first when it's close, then to the next, and finally to a stationary platform.
  5. 5
    Watch out for a pirahna that jumps over this platform.
  6. 6
    Jump across two hippos to a platform with Wumpa Fruit.
  7. 7
    Jump to the next platforms, spinning to take out a plant upon landing.
  8. 8
    A timer with about a minute will appear; finishing the level before it expires earns the YELLOW GEM. It's recommended to do this after obtaining the crystal and first gem to better know the level layout.
  9. 9
    Break the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) box (a box that saves your progress).
  10. 10
    Hop on the jetski at the end of the pier and break all boxes.

  12. 12
    Watch for two mines moving in the water past the whirlpools.
  13. 13
    Break the two boxes past the mines and use a speed boost to get by the next whirlpool.
  14. 14
    A whirlpool is on the left with a mine; you cannot use a speed boost due to Nitro boxes at the end. Stay right to avoid the mine until another whirlpool.
  15. 15
    Move around this whirlpool, avoiding the mine to its left.
  16. 16
    Another whirlpool is on the left; go right to avoid it as there is no mine next to it.
  17. 17
    Jump over a whirlpool surrounded by mines and Nitro using a ramp to avoid everything.
  18. 18
    Dock your jetski and break the next checkpoint box.
  19. 19
    Jump across water onto platforms, then onto the hippo to the left.
  20. 20
    From the hippo, jump forward onto the next platforms.
  21. 21
    Walk forward and jump onto a box of TNT (a type of explosive box).
  22. 22
    Proceed before the TNT explodes and kill the plant where platforms go right.
  23. 23
    Jump onto the next box of TNT and kill the plant behind it.
  24. 24
    Step on the ? platform to the left to access the BONUS STAGE.

  27. 27
    Avoid a whirlpool on the left.
  28. 28

    Proceed along platforms and grab the CRYSTAL on the left.
  30. 30
    Jump across a small gap and kill a plant.
  31. 31
    Reach a pier with a checkpoint box; break it but do not get on the jetski yet.

    Walk along platforms to the right, killing plants, and break a box.
  33. 33
    Jump across to platforms on the left, kill the plant upon landing, and break two boxes.
  34. 34
    Jump back right to the pier.
  35. 35
    Get on the jetski and break the first three boxes.
  36. 36
    Continue until a ramp; use a speed boost to jump it and break three more boxes.
  37. 37
    Past the ramp, use a speed boost to get by a plant on a platform in the middle of the river.
  38. 38
    Dock your jetski and hop across two sets of two Nitro boxes on the path.
  39. 39
    Hit the Green ! Box at the end.

Tips
  • Wait until you have the crystal and first gem before attempting the Yellow Gem to ensure you know the level layout for a faster run.
  • Use a speed boost on the jetski segments to navigate between whirlpools and avoid hazards.
  • Stay to the right to avoid mines near whirlpools when a speed boost is not viable.
  • Crouch and jump to reach higher platforms in the Bonus Stage.
