Giant Ring #2 (16)

Head left down the holes and you'll end up back on the slides.

Keep sliding until you see the swinging platform, then jump to the other slide.

Slide down the slide you just switched to and you should hit a checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).

Continue right and push the switch all the way.

Hurry left and bounce up to the kart and push it onto the tracks.

Ride to the door and get through before it closes.

Use the swinging platform to get to the bungee cord to get to the platform below.

Push the switch all the way, then head right, then up the swinging platforms, then left and up through the door before it closes.

Continue right to the loop which will send you into a bouncer which sends you into another loop which will throw you up the ceiling and to a checkpoint.

Head right over the gap and push the switch all the way.

Duck under the spikes and ride the swinging platform up so you can get to the ledge before the door closes.

Bust open the sand stream on the roof to fill the room with sand so you can continue.

Let the sand take you up, then run left, then take the sand up until it stops.

Jump onto the swinging pillar so you can reach the switch to open the door.

Head right and break open the next sand stream.

Let the sand lift you up to the ledge, then head right, then ride the sand past the pillar to get to the ledge on the right.

Push the switch to open the ceiling and get up there.

Duck your way under the spikes and through this narrow passageway before the sand crushes you.

Push the switch to the right to open the doors.

If you have enough time before the sand reaches you, feel free to grab the extra life behind the left door.

Either way, head through the right door.

The sand will still be rising so ride it to the top until it stops.

Use the swinging platform to head right and push the switch to open up the floor so you can drop down.

Duck under the pillar and go right to reach the swinging platform.

Use it to grab the bungee cord to take you to an opening in the wall below.

Jump over the spikes to get behind a sand waterfall.

A spring is hidden from view at the foot of the wall that will bounce you to the top of the wall.

Keep going right over the spikes to go through a loop and be sent hurtling into quicksand.

Make your way over the quicksand and pillars to the left to reach a bungee cord.

After riding your way through 20 rings, you'll reach a ledge to the right with a breakable rock on it.

Head right over the pillar to reach yet another checkpoint.

Ride the slide to a loop that sends you flying to another, much longer, slide.

Reach the bottom and you'll enter another loop that sends you up the wall to a ledge.

Use the pillars to the right to reach the above platform with the bouncer on it.

Use the bouncer to be sent flying along the path to a switch.

Jump to the swinging platform and ride it to the ceiling to find a blocked sand stream.

Break it open and jump back down to the floor.

Now push the switch all the way to the right.

Quickly run to the right, over the sand and over the ledge.

Jump down the steps and go under the pillar.

On the right of the room is a closing door. Duck into it before it closes and you'll reach a room with the Giant Ring.

After using it use the switch to exit the room and drop down to the final checkpoint before the boss battle of the act.
