Walkthrough
- 1From a nearby platform, jump onto it and quickly jump over to another, as the timer is only about three seconds. Jump and charge the MCM on the platform for a green gem.
- 2Follow the edge to the left to pick up 7 loose gems.
- 3In the middle of the fork, in front of a lava pool, are three red gems. To the right are 9 loose gems, and on a platform is an FCM. Jump and flame it for a purple gem.
- 4Do the same to the FCM behind it for another purple gem.
- 5Jump onto the platform, then glide to the one floating ahead, flaming the FCM as you near it for a golden gem.
- 6Glide over to the Fool below and pick up three red gems behind its platform.
- 7Break open the green and purple-topped chests.
- 8Jump back up to the fork and hit the Fool running around there.
- 9Quickly run to the other side of the fork and hit the Fool there.
- 10Jump onto the platform, then glide to the one from there. Smash two wooden chests for 10 gems total.
- 11Drop down onto another platform below. If it's unreachable, go back and hit the pair of Fools again.
- 12Once on the platform, wait for it to rise, then look left and glide to the dragon.
- 13Continue behind the dragon and smash the wooden chest for a purple gem.
- 14Carry on along the path for 6 more loose gems.
- 15Go through the gap to the left where there is one gem, and glide onto the platform with the whirlwind. Be careful of the lava below.
- 16At the top of the whirlwind, glide down ahead and flame the FCM for a purple gem. Use backwards movement to slow your glide while losing altitude.
- 17If possible, land on the FCM's platform; otherwise, land on the edge below and ahead. Grab two red gems and an extra life.
- 18Make your way around the lava pit and back up the whirlwind, freeing 7 gems from chests on the way.
- 19From the whirlwind, keep going up and glide to three other FCMs, flaming each for a purple gem. Use the altitude loss trick carefully.
- 20Head back out of the lava area and hit the Fool by the edge.
- 21Quickly glide to the platform that comes out of the wall. Missing means death in the lava.
- 22Once there, immediately glide to the floating platform, which will take you via whirlwind to the ledge above.
- 23Scour this ledge for 18 gems.
- 24Stand on the platform, turn about 45 degrees right, and glide to another ledge. Smash all three purple-topped chests.
- 25Take the whirlwind back up to the other edge, then glide the other way, back to the Fool.
- 26Continue back from there to Unika, then glide back to the main part of the level.
- 27Pick up 7 loose gems between the two platforms.
- 28Hug the wall around the corner to find two hidden metal chests containing 4 gems.
- 29On the platforms are MCMs; jump and charge them for 7 gems. Be careful with the one dropping a purple gem near the edge; tap-charge and turn away from the edge to avoid falling.
- 30Look ahead to a floating platform. Jump onto the platform beside you, then glide over to the one with 9 gems.
- 31Glide from there to the next section. In the corner to the left are two metal chests holding 10 gems total.
- 32Around the platform are two Fools. Try to get them close before hitting them. Hitting both will raise sub-platforms.
- 33Jump to the top of the raised platforms and glide into the hole in the cliff to grab 20 gems.
- 34If timers have run out, hit the Fools again. Atop the platforms, glide onwards into the level, marked by an MCM.
- 35On this ledge, find green and purple-topped chests, 4 loose gems, and an extra life.
- 36Jump and charge the MCM by the edge for a golden gem. Attack from the side to avoid being swiped off.
- 37Charge another MCM for a purple gem, then get a higher one from the next platform for another purple gem.
- 38Glide over to the end of the right-hand fork from the start of the level.
- 39Grab a golden gem in front of the steps, then smash two wooden chests beside it for another 10 gems total.
- 40Face the FCMs on the floating platforms; glide past them, flaming them for a green gem from each.
- 41Flame another FCM running on the ground for a purple gem.
- 42Destroy the two green-topped chests by the wall and pick up 6 gems on the other side.
- 43Hit the Fool here to raise the platform.
