- 2Defeat the spinning octopuses and any rhinos with torpedo guns. Collect gems at the surface.
- 3Launch out of the water and glide to the island below with weirdly-colored trees. Flame the trees to make them explode, but watch out for their heavy crystal branches.
- 4Collect the gems scattered around and head indoors.
- 5Ignore 'The Great Zamboni' for now and dive into the water with floating crystals. Kill the spinning octopuses.
- 6Leap out of the water and talk to 'The Great Zamboni'. He will raise crystals in the water temporarily. Jump on them to reach the outdoors again.
- 7(EDIT) Flame the strange-looking beavers with bat-like wings while gliding and grab their gems from the water bed.
- 8A large white polar bear will attack. Flame it as it leaps and turn around to see an island with a round white figure.

- 10To get back up, glide down to the area with the weird trees and talk to Zamboni again to return to the top.
- 11Scour the area for gems, including two vases near the edge. Use headbash to avoid falling.
- 12Jump and glide to 'The Fantastic Frederico'. He will create a whirlwind in a tower.
- 13Collect gems around the area, defeating four enemies: a polar bear and three octopi.

- 21'Ze Aztounding Araturo' will show you his trick, but it's not ready yet.
- 22Clear the area of gems, then dive underwater. Avoid debris from the three bat beavers hovering above, as it passes through water.
- 23Charge through octopi underwater and collect gems from the bed. Go to the side ledge for baskets.
