Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Glide to the platform and break open green and purple-topped chests.
  2. 2
    Glide back and charge two metal chests for a purple gem from each.
  3. 3
    Flame the LA (Lava Lizard), then be alert as an AA (Armored Alligator) attacks behind it. LA drops green, AA drops purple.
  4. 4
    Grab three red gems on the edge and continue onwards over the bridge.
  5. 5
    Grab four red gems off the bridge, then charge two AAs that an LA atop the steps ahead tosses, for a purple gem each. Dodge rolling AAs; they will crash and die, and the gem will automatically fly to you.
  6. 6
    Flame the explosive chest to the left to break it open along with three wooden chests, yielding 25 gems total.
  7. 7
    Jump up the step and flame the LA, then charge the AA, for a purple gem from each.
  8. 8
    Pick up two more red gems up here, then another two from the right-hand ledge.
  9. 9
    Jump down to the left and scour the corner for two golden gems from wooden chests, two loose red gems, and a purple-topped chest.
  10. 10
    Jump up the steps to the right and prepare for two LAs to toss an AA each at you. AAs drop purple gems, and LAs drop green gems.
  11. 11
    Collect two green gems to the left and three red gems to the right.
  12. 12
    Smash open three wooden chests ahead for 9 gems.
  13. 13
    Go left to find an AA to charge for a purple gem.
  14. 14
    Backtrack to the bridge about halfway back through the level and go halfway across it. Look out to the left (whichever way has the wall most distant) to see a broken gate in the acid.
  15. 15
    Glide over to the broken gate and land on the small path to the left.
  16. 16
    Glide through the hole in the gate and do a hard twist around to the left again to enter a hidden area.
  17. 17
    Grab five red gems ahead and jump up the steps behind the last one.
  18. 18
    Before jumping, get a life hidden in the corner behind you.
  19. 19
    Atop the steps, find four metal chests containing 25 gems total. Charge them open.
  20. 20
    Head along the path in the middle into a blocked arch.
  21. 21
    Go back along the path and jump down the steps on the other side to find three wooden chests containing purple gems.
  22. 22
    Jump back up the steps and down the other side, then go through the arch ahead.
  23. 23
    Take the whirlwind up and glide to a previously unreachable high building top.
  24. 24
    Grab two loose green gems and 9 chested gems.
  25. 25
    From the left-hand corner, look out to another building top with gems on. Glide over to it.
  26. 26
    Collect the loose green gem and a life, and smash open the purple-topped chest.
  27. 27
    Head back along the main path to where the last enemy was and run down the slope.
  28. 28
    Go through the doorway to get 4 gems.
  29. 29
    Proceed forward; the door will close behind you, locking you in with Metalhead.
  30. 30
    Destroy all eight power poles in the first arena to shut down Metalhead. Poles flash red when powering Metalhead and are vulnerable when the light on top is green. Metalhead's attacks include an electric stream, electric rings, and tossing enemies. You can use your charge attack against Metalhead or let his attacks destroy the poles.
  31. 31
    After destroying the poles, Metalhead will run away. Collect any remaining gems.
  32. 32
    Run ahead through the tunnel for three red gems and continue to a second arena.
  33. 33
    Destroy all ten poles in the second arena using the same strategy. Acid pits are to either side.
  34. 34
    After destroying the ten poles, Metalhead will keel over and drop 42 gems.
  35. 35
    Go back to the entrance of the second arena and jump up the steps to the left to find 22 gems behind the acidfall in an alcove.
  36. 36
    Glide from here back to mainland (without hitting the acid fall).
  37. 37
    Continue behind where Metalhead keeled over into a building.
  38. 38
    Run around the corner to find a purple gem in the entrance of the room with the 'Return Home' vortex.
  39. 39
    Enter the vortex and collect 7 loose gems at the back.
  40. 40
    Exit the vortex and take the whirlwind on the right up to the higher bit.
  41. 41
    Collect 7 loose gems in the corner.
