Part 40

In Part 40, pick up 6 loose gems, then turn around and flame two wooden chests for another 4 gems.

A SMT (Super Metal Thing) will appear. Since it is metal, the DC's (Dragon Cannon) arrows won't defeat it, so you'll have to do a charge-flame after they attack. Flame it the moment you land your charge to get 7 gems.

Smash the gold and purple-topped chests behind the SMT.

Deal with the enemy situation one last time to the left.

Head up the whirlwind.

Go up the steps collecting the 7 gems on the way to see the end of the level again.

A firecracker is here. Flame it, then glide over to the vortex, then over to the strong chest.

When the firecracker hits, the last 35 gems of the level are yours, bringing the total to 500/500 gems collected.

Exit the level.

Head to the whirlwind, let it take you to the biggest island, then go through the gap in the wall and around the corner to enter Lofty Castle.

Upon landing in Lofty Castle, grab three red gems behind you and smash the pair of wooden chests for 4 gems.

Jump onto the platform and grab three more loose red gems.

Glide over the stream to find a Fat Bat. Flame or charge it for a green gem.

Glide back over to the whirlwind, which takes you to a higher island. Grab 9 loose gems.

Note the Balloognorc. Flame them when they're low and their balloons are vulnerable. Defeat this one for a purple gem.

Turn around and glide to the highest bit of the area. Flame the pair of Fat Bats as they pass for 7 gems. Grab two more red gems off the edge.

Glide over to the small, round island ahead to bag 7 more gems.

Glide to the next bit where a fairy is trapped in a cage. Break it with any attack to free it. Grab 5 loose gems behind it.

Flame the DC there for a gooden gem. Pin off a FB (Fat Bat) to the left for a purple gem.

Run up the slope to get another purple gem from another DC.

Jump onto the platform and flame the explosive chest. Jump down, wait, jump back up, and grab 9 gems.

Jump onto another higher platform and set a second fairy free.

Glide over to the island behind the Balloognorc ahead, flaming the balloon on your way if you can. The BG (Balloognorc) drops a green gem.

Free the last fairy of the set here.

Glide back to where you were where a whirlwind now is, thanks to the fairies. Take it. You'll land at three red gems.

Run over the bridge with another three red gems on, then take on the two DCs on the other side of the pool. They drop 7 gems.

Smash two metal chests to the left for another 7 gems.

Jump down to find the locked chest of the level and grab the extra life beside it.

Glide over the stream and free the fairy.

Go through the arch and quickly flame the DC before it can attack, for a green gem.

Grab three more red gems behind it, then use your dodging skills to take down another two DCs for 7 gems.

Free the fairy behind them, then break open the red and green-topped chests here.

Trace back a bit to see a couple of wooden chests hiding along the wall. Smash them for 7 more gems.

Continue back on track to find a purple-dropping DC guarding a fairy in the corner at the end.

Now that the fairies are free, take the whirlwind they form (by the arch in this bit) to get back up again. Over the other side, glide over to the edge with three red gems.

Glide towards the FBs on the left. Charge through all four for 9 gems.

Beware of the DC at the end. Jump there, falling with a flame. Get its purple gem.

Run back across and glide over to the island ahead. Jump up the steps, getting 13 gems off this.

Glide from the other side of the platform towards another island.

Grab 5 loose gems total surrounding Mudada.

Glide over to the other side of the stream, grabbing two more red gems and freeing the fairy.

Jump onto the right-hand whirlwind first. Grab three red gems off the island you land at, and free the fairy.
