    You will reach the end of the level.

BONUS STAGE:

  1. Jump onto the line of metal boxes and break the first box.

  3. Jump to the other side of the arrow box without being crushed by the metal box.
  4. Jump onto the next metal arrow box and then to the platform on the right.
  5. Jump from that platform to the next one.
  6. Jump down and follow the Wumpa Fruit.
  7. To get the Crash Box, jump and spin. If you miss, you will hit a TNT box and it will explode. Alternatively, jump on the top TNT box to avoid risk.
  8. Jump on the platforms to the right to reach rows of boxes. Break all the ? Boxes on the top row and Bounce Boxes below by jumping.
  9. Bounce from the last box onto the platform to the right.
  10. Break the last two boxes and ride the platform up to return to the level.

Boss: Ripper Roo

Ripper Roo is easier this time. He starts by jumping and placing TNT boxes. Find a corner that he leaves alone and stay there until the TNT explodes. Next, he places Nitro boxes. Again, find a safe corner. He will jump on one of the Nitros, causing an explosion that knocks him out. Run up to him and spin attack him. Repeat this three times to defeat him. The safe zones for TNT and Nitro will shrink after each hit, but you can avoid taking damage.

Warp Room 2 Secret:

Before entering any levels in Warp Room 2, find the polar bear. Jump on it repeatedly without touching the ground. After approximately ten jumps, you will receive ten free lives.

Tips
  • When being chased by the boulder, utilize enclosed spaces to temporarily escape.
  • Mines slow you down, making you more vulnerable to the boulder.
  • Electric fences are instant death if touched.
  • The wooden bridges will break after the boulder passes over them.
  • In the bonus stage, be cautious with TNT and Nitro boxes.
  • Ripper Roo's attack patterns become more predictable after the first round.
