At the end of the platform on the right, drop down and slide into another enemy with a ringed neck.

Jump over the pit to encounter a piston on the ground that moves upward.

Jump on this piston and use it as an elevator to ascend.

To your right, four pistons are on the ceiling. Pass under them sequentially as they retract upwards until you reach the other side.

Jump to the next platforms and defeat the enemy with shocking arms.

Drop down to the next platforms and defeat the enemy with shocking arms, which alternates between having its arms up and down.

Jump over the next pit and down to the platforms on the right.

Go into the alcove with boxes, break the three boxes, and exit without hitting the Nitro.

To the right, an enemy with shocking arms moves between two hot pipes that will burn you. Jump over the first set of hot pipes and onto the enemy when its arms are down.

To the right of the other hot pipes, wait for the enemy with shocking arms to come to you. Before it reaches you, it will raise its arms, allowing you to slide or spin to kill it.

Go right and look up at the next platforms. Jump up and slide/spin to kill the enemy with shocking arms that moves its arms.

Go right to another pit with pistons on both sides that move up and down simultaneously. When they go up, jump over the pit and pass the second piston.

To get all boxes, do not take the SKULL PLATFORM PATH yet. Continue to the end of the level, breaking all boxes along the way.

Go right and slide under the pipes. On the other side, wait for the enemy with shocking arms to move away from the pipe, then slide under and spin or slide into it.

Jump on the contraption and slide/jump over the shocking enemy onto the metal platform with an arrow.

Immediately jump off this platform onto the next platform on the right. Standing here will cause the contraption to launch something that will hurt you or shrink and kill you.
