  7. 7
    Jump down the other side and defeat the Druid for a purple gem.
  8. 8
    Run around the back of the 'Blowhard' portal and defeat both Li'l Lambs (LWs) for a golden gem each. Be careful as they attack simultaneously.
  9. 9

    Trace back to Zantor and the supercharge hill, then go to the edge on the right.
  13. 13
    Go to the very corner and take a blind glide around the side of the wall, hugging it to reach a hidden alcove.
  14. 14
    Inside the hidden alcove, you will find a chest containing 10 gems. You can reach this by gliding or by using the supercharge ramp to perform a superjump (jump with supercharge) around the wall.
  15. 15
    Grab the extra life next to the chest.
  16. 16
    Glide down to mainland and head to Alpine Ridge.
  17. 17

    To the left of the OM, defeat the Flame Swallower Guy (FSG) for a golden gem. Approach with caution as it is near the edge.
  20. 20
    Jump down and continue onwards to get a loose green gem and a purple gem from another OM.

    Go to the far side where steps are folding and unfolding. Hidden to the side of them is a purple and a gold-topped chest. Break them open.

    Approach the steps and jump onto them just after they have folded. Jump up when they unfold to reach the top and flame the Druid for a gem.
