Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To unlock this level, finish Level 15: Un-Bearable. At the end of that level, walk back onto the land extending into the pit, then slide and jump across. Follow the path until you reach the polar bear cub. Stand in front of it to be warped to the secret warp room where this level is open.
  2. 2
    Proceed forward towards the bear at the start. Avoid falling into the water on the sides of the path.
  3. 3
    Stay left to avoid water on the right. This water will eventually cross the entire path, so stay left until you need to jump over it and land on the land to the right.
  4. 4
    Run into the boxes here. Jump over the next pool of water, landing on the small patch of land, then jump to the next patch of land on the left.
  5. 5
    Quickly jump again onto the land over the water to the right. Run into the Crash Box and very quickly hit O (the button to activate a speed boost) to get a speed boost, then jump over the water, running into all the boxes above it.
  6. 6
    Land and run into the four boxes in front of you. Use another speed boost and then jump over the large pool of water.
  7. 7
    You will encounter another pool of water with an orca jumping out. Jump over the water and land on the safe spot to the right.
  8. 8
    Jump again onto a very narrow piece of land. Immediately jump again over the next pool of water.
  9. 9
    After that, you will face two more pools of water, both with an orca jumping out. Jump over both pools, run into the boxes, and reach the checkpoint (a save point).
  10. 10
    Go up the next hill. At the top, go left to avoid obstacles on the right.
  11. 11
    Jump over the next obstacle on the ground, then go right around subsequent obstacles. There will be one more obstacle on the right.
  12. 12
    Go to the left side of the path to avoid water on the right. Jump onto the land on the right when the water moves to the left.
  13. 13
    You will encounter another point where water crosses the entire path with an orca jumping out. Jump over the water, avoiding the orca.
  14. 14
    Past this, there are two obstacles on the right and one on the left to avoid.
  15. 15
    Ahead is a large pool of water with boxes over it. Use a speed boost and jump over the water, running into the four boxes above it.
  16. 16
    When you land, there is a pool of water on the left with an obstacle at its end, but there is room to go between the obstacle and the wall. Jump over the water and land on the ground between the obstacle and the wall.
  17. 17
    Go forward and run into the two boxes on the ice. If you did not jump over the water, you cannot break both.
  18. 18
    Quickly move right and avoid the next two obstacles.
  19. 19
    You will reach another pool of water with an orca. Jump over the water and run into the checkpoint past it.
  20. 20
    Run along and jump over the next obstacle on the ground.
  21. 21
    Break the Crash Box in front of you. Behind it are two figures lifting and setting down metal boxes. Go under these boxes.
  22. 22
    Jump over the next pit on the right. Pass the obstacles on the left.
  23. 23
    Slide right through the middle of the ice, past the exploding TNT (timed explosives).
  24. 24
    Past here are more figures lifting and putting down metal boxes. Use O for a speed boost before reaching them, go under the boxes, and then jump across the water behind them.
  25. 25
    Land on the ground to the left and run into the box there. Stay left to avoid water on the right.
  26. 26
    When you reach a pool of water with an orca, jump over it. Run into the checkpoint on the other side of the pit and proceed.
  27. 27
    Break the two boxes as you reach them and dodge the lone obstacle to the left.
  28. 28
    Jump over the water. When you reach figures lifting boxes, jump over them.
  29. 29
    Avoid these obstacles and you will encounter more figures lifting boxes; go under these boxes.
  30. 30
    After this, there are more figures lifting boxes with a pool of water and an orca behind them. Go under the boxes and then jump over the water.
  31. 31
    Run into the boxes here and jump over the water, landing on the ground to the right.
  32. 32
    Jump off that land and onto more land on the right. Jump off this, over the water.
  33. 33
    Before the next pool of water, run into the box before it, hit O for a speed boost, and then jump.
  34. 34
    When you land on the other side, jump again to clear more water.
  35. 35
    You will reach a large cliff where the bear will throw you off. Go forward to finish the level.
Tips
  • This is one of the harder levels in the game due to the darkness and limited visibility.
  • There is no crystal in this level; the only collectible is the Silver Gem, which requires breaking all 40 boxes.
  • Use speed boosts (activated by hitting O) strategically to clear large gaps of water and reach boxes.
  • Pay close attention to the water and orca patterns to time your jumps correctly.
  • When encountering metal boxes being lifted, remember to go under them when possible.
