Boing! Docomodake DS is a rather interesting action/puzzle game for the
Nintendo DS. It features the mascot of the NTT Docomo line (Japanese phone
company/brand). Aside from the quirky characters, the game contains over 50
levels full of innovative and challenging puzzles, ranging from simple to
others which require much thought to solve. It is not an overly complex game,
but the gameplay concept is certainly unique and worth giving a shot.

================
General Gameplay
================
This game, of the puzzle genre, contains many unique challenges to overcome.
There are a grand total of seven worlds (Areas), each with eight Stages
within. Scattered throughout each stage are varying numbers of coins, as well
as a certain number of treasure boxes which contain even more coins (both of
which can be used in the Docomodake House, explained below). In order to 100%
complete a stage, you must collect all of the coins and open the treasure
boxes. It does not seem to be required that you have all of the Docos with
you at the end of the stage, though.
Each stage has many obstacles, all of which will be discussed below. Some
stages will even have enemies to deal with. Your primary goal is to reach the
goal signpost at the very end of the stage. You don't HAVE to collect
anything along the way, but it is necessary if you want to fully complete the
game.
==========
Game Modes
==========
Docomodake House: Accessible from the world map, this is the place where you
can spend the coins you earn in the levels. You can buy
music, cutscenes, and even a special ability in this mode.
Fortunately, you can replay previously completed levels to
earn even more coins, since you won't have enough to buy
everything if you 100% complete each stage only once.
How to Play: Also on the world map, this mode acts like a simple tutorial to
get you accustomed to the various controls of the game.
====================
Docomodake Abilities
====================
Small Docos (Splitting/Recombining)
-----------------------------------
Your Docomodake character has a number of unique abilities, particularly the
ability to split into smaller versions of itself. This is achieved by
pressing L or R; doing so will shed a few smaller versions of yourself. You
can also pull out smaller Docos (or Minis) by touching your character with
the stylus and dragging one out that way. These small Docos can be used to
complete a variety of tasks throughout the game. You do not control them
directly when you move your main character, but you can drag them around as
needed.
With the smaller Docos, you can stack them up, which will lead to them
functioning as ladders/ledges for you to maneuver with. When you have
multiple small Docos on the screen, you can drag one near others and a square
icon will appear around the one you're dragging. If you let go at that point,
a stack will be formed. If you tap a small Doco twice, it will roll up into a
roly-poly form (tap twice more to unravel it). If your main character walks
over to a roly-poly Doco, it will pick them up. Tap a location on the screen
and the small Doco will be thrown.
If you throw a Doco, it will fall stunned once it hits its target. You will
then have 10 seconds to drag the small Doco back to your main character
(auto-recombining does not work here). If you take too long, that small Doco
will become a ghost, which can only be revived via a bell statue (more on
that below). Small Docos can also become ghosts if they fall onto spikes or
get taken away by certain enemies. If your main character falls onto spikes,
small Docos will be shed until you are in small form, at which point you will
die and must restart the level.
Speaking of recombining, you will see a white hand above your main character.
If you tap it twice, all of the smaller Docos left in the stage will return
to you, causing your character to regain its larger size. Of course if you
are in a low ceiling corridor, this may not work. On the bottom part of your
screen, you will see a numerical count of how many small Docos you have
available to you. If it is not 100% full, that means there are small Docos
released somewhere in the stage. Recombination will pull all of the Docos
from anywhere in the stage, unless they are ghosts or stuck in mysterious
jars (more on them later).
====================
Obstacles/Mechanisms
====================
Balance: These are two ledges where if one is weighed down, the other rises.
The degree of these movements varies, and you can keep one side
weighed down by placing a stack of Docos on it. Like the Sinking
Floors, these don't have to be weighed down to their maximum points;
that is determined by how much weight is applied.
Block Art: In some levels, there are grids formed by yellow box outlines of
varying sizes. Elsewhere in the level, there is a sign which
displays a particular pattern on it. Drag smaller Docos into the
grid to fill these outlines in order to complete the pattern. Once
the pattern is done, a barrier will be lowered or something else
will happen. If the pattern is altered, the barrier will reappear,
so make sure you don't get trapped prematurely!
Bump Switch (Target): These come in the form of bullseye targets, or simply
switches hanging on walls or on ceilings. They require
a roly-poly Doco to be thrown at it in order for it to
activate. Some of the switches can be hit again to
reverse their effects; you can tell which those are
since they merely change color when hit. Targets can
only be hit once.
Crumbling Floor: These are small, thin wooden ledges found throughout the
game. If you are too heavy, they will simply crumble and you
will fall through. These platforms do not restore
themselves. To safely walk on them, you must split into a
smaller form.
Destructible Block: The small blocks which can often times be found in areas
along with Rebounding Walls. You can break these blocks
by throwing roly-poly Docos through them.
Movable Rock (Block): Square stones which can be pushed or jumped upon. You
must be in large size to be able to move them.
Mysterious Jar: Blue jars with a meter displayed on its front side. Drop
small Docos into these jars and the meter will gradually
fill. Some jars require more Docos to fill it than others.
Once the meter is filled, some event will take place. Usually
the Docos will also shoot out of the jar once it is filled,
but other times you will need to hit a switch elsewhere to
empty the jar. Docos currently held inside these jars cannot
be recombined with your character.
Rebounding Wall: A wall comprised of dark green blocks, which will cause a
roly-poly Doco thrown at it to bounce back. A Doco will
continue to bounce around if it keeps hitting these special
walls, though it may stop after so long. Plan your angles
accordingly when aiming at these walls, as it will come in
handy throughout the game!
Sinking Floor/Platform: A flat platform which sinks downward when weight is
applied atop it. Some of these platforms will sink
lower than others. If you place small Docos in stack
form atop one, it will stay weighed down. Depending
on exactly how many small Docos you have on it, it
may not be weighed down to its lowest extent.
Slope: A steep hill which you will automatically roll down if you make
contact. You cannot jump or do any actions while rolling down these
slopes, though.
Step-on Switch: Small, colored, mushroom-shaped switches found in some
levels. They usually cause a barrier of the same color to
vanish when pressed. There are two types of switches: ones
that stay down when pressed once, and others that must have
constant pressure applied for it to stay down. In those
cases, placing a small Doco atop the switch will suffice.
Stoppable Floor: There are certain moving platforms that can actually be
stopped. The Stoppable Floor looks like a regular moving
platform, but has a green box on it. Throw a roly-poly Doco
at it and it will turn red, temporarily stopping in place.
Wake-up Bell (Statue): An angel statue with a bell above it. If you throw a
roly-poly Doco at its bell, it will revive any
stunned/ghost Docos so you can recombine with them.
Warp Stump: Tree stumps with small openings inside of them. If you drop a
small Doco in front of one, it will enter the stump, emerging at
another stump in the stage. This is essential to completing tasks
in certain areas where your main character cannot go, being that
your character cannot enter these stumps directly either.
Yellow Outlines: These are quite plentiful in the game, and can be filled
using small Docos to create ledges or blocks. Their all
purpose usage will come quite in handy throughout the game.
=======
Enemies
=======
Birds/Flying Insects: If a small Doco is nearby, these enemies may try to
swoop down and fly away with your small Doco. If it
flies offscreen, your small Doco will become a ghost.
The black birds later in the game will swoop down even
if you are in large form, so be careful. You can kill
them by throwing roly-poly Docos at them.
Eggs/Cones: These enemies often hang in the air or ground until you pass by
them, and then they will move up/down quickly to attack before
retreating back to where they came. You cannot kill them, but you
can trap them by filling in the yellow box outlines, or simply
dash past them quickly.
Ghosts: These strange enemies do not bother you until a small Doco is dropped
nearby. The ghost will try to steal it, turning the small Doco into a
ghost as well if you are not careful. If you recombine with the small
Doco once the ghost spots it, the ghost will flee and you will be
safe.
Mimics: These are full-sized creatures that mimic your every move in certain
sections of some stages. Often times you will be divided by a wall,
and you will have to plan your movements accordingly so the mimic
completes a certain task on its side to help you.
Porcupines: This is a small brown rodent which will charge at you when you
come near. You can not kill them either, but you can jump over
them or trap them in their locations by filling in nearby yellow
outlines.

========================
Area 1: Docomodake Woods
========================
Stage 1-1
---------
Starting off, jump to the ledge in front of you, then walk to the ladder and
split into smaller Docos. Stack a few of them on the left edge, then climb up
them and jump to the high ledge to grab two coins (2). Merge the smaller
parts back together, then climb the ladder and split again to go through the
narrow passage, collecting four coins (6) along the way. At the other side,
you will see two spots you can dig through; dig through the eastern pit to
reach the ledge below. Collect two coins (8) and jump to the northeast ledge,
grabbing two more coins (10) on the way.
On that ledge, open the treasure box (T1), then go back down to the other
dirt mound. Dig through it to reach the bottom area. Go left to grab the last
five coins (15). Go back out of the passage and recombine into the larger
form, then go right to complete this stage.
Stage 1-2
---------
Begin by jumping to the second ledge, then dash jumping to grab the three
coins (3) overhead. Climb the ladder and dig through the dirt mound to reach
the lower area, then split into smaller Docos to grab the three coins (6) in
the west alcove. Hit the floor switch to clear the barrier ahead, then use
the smaller Docos to form ledges in the yellow box outlines above. Jump up
the newly formed ledges and collect six coins (12), and open a treasure box
(T1). Recombine into the larger form and ride the moving platform upward,
collecting the final six coins (18), then exit the stage to the right.
Stage 1-3
---------
From the start, drop down to the lower area and split into smaller Docos. Go
through the narrow passage to collect four coins (4), then recombine into the
larger form and climb the ladder. Ride the moving platform across to the
other side, grabbing four coins (8) along the way. On the next ledge, split
into smaller Docos and go through the low passage. Jump across the sinking
platform in the air and collect eight coins (16) in the alcove to the east.
Go back out of the alcove and recombine into the larger Doco, then sink
downward via the platform. Split up again to get through the low ceiling area
ahead, then drag the smaller Docos into the yellow outlines above. Jump onto
those ledges and collect three coins (19), and open the treasure box (T1) on
the western ledge. Finally, recombine into the larger Doco and climb down the
ladder to reach the goal.
Stage 1-4
---------
Start off by climbing onto the east ledge and riding the platform across,
collecting five coins (5) as you cross. Hit the floor switch, then ride back
across and climb up to the area above. Collect nine coins (14) and get past
the spider enemy, and open the treasure box (T1) at the other side. Climb up
the next ladder and you will find a block in your way. Push it a little bit
to the left, then jump from it to reach the northeast ledge. Split into
smaller Docos so you can enter the alcove and collect the final eight coins
(22).
Get out of the alcove and recombine into the larger Doco, and climb the
ladder to the next part. There, tap the larger Doco to get a smaller one to
pop out, then roly-poly it and throw it at the bee enemy above. Drag the
stunned smaller Doco back, then split up and stack the Docos so you can climb
from them to reach the ladder above. Jump to the top ledge, then drag the
smaller Docos into the yellow outlines so you can run across to the other
treasure box (T2). Then, get back to the right side and recombine before
heading through the goal.
Stage 1-5
---------
Start off by going right and climbing down the first ladder. Either ride the
moving platform or hop to the left (avoid the spider below) to collect six
coins (6). Climb down the second ladder and stand on the sinking platform,
then drop down to the lower area. Push the block all the way to the right
wall, then split into smaller Docos and stack them atop the block. Climb up
the stack and jump onto the sinking platform. Open the treasure box (T1),
then recombine into the larger Doco and sink with the platform to grab five
coins (11).
Drop to the ground and climb down the following ladder. Get a smaller Doco
and roly-poly/throw it to hit the switch on the ceiling above. Place two
smaller Docos into the yellow outlines to form ledges, then jump up them to
reach six coins (17) above. Recombine and climb down the ladder to the final
area. Jump to grab the last two coins (19), then dash to the right to reach
the goal.
Stage 1-6
---------
From the start, climb onto the upper ledge and dash across the small gaps and
blocks to the right, collecting four coins (4) along the way. Climb the tall
ladder and jump to grab two coins (6) to the left. On the ledge above the
ladder, stack smaller Docos so you can jump onto the sinking platform above
(you need a stack of four so that you can fit between the platforms).
Atop the sinking platforms, jump to the right ledge and open the treasure box
(T1). Recombine into the larger Doco and head left, where you will see yellow
outlines. Place smaller Docos in the outlines (every other space should be
filled, which can be achieved using only two smaller Docos), then dash across
to grab the four coins (10). Recombine and climb up the ladder, and ride the
moving platform across, collecting three more coins (13) as you cross. Grab
three more coins (16) as you continue to the right.
You will reach some dirt mounds you can dig through. Go all the way right
against the wall and dig to fall through the narrow passage. Collect three
coins (19) when you land, then split into smaller Docos. Form a stack of four
against the left wall, then place a fifth Doco on the floor switch to keep
the ceiling open. Climb up the stack and recombine into the larger Doco once
you are safely on the ledge above. Then, dig through to the area below. Grab
the final four coins (23), then go right to complete this stage.
Stage 1-7
---------
Start by going right and throwing a smaller Doco at the bee to kill it. Drag
it back into the larger Doco, then use place smaller Docos in the outlines
above. Jump up the ledges you formed and collect ten coins (10), then jump
onto the western ledge. Recombine, then go left and place smaller Docos in
the next set of yellow outlines so you can jump onto the first moving
platform. Ride to the left, collecting two coins (12), and use smaller Docos
again to form a ledge above so you can jump to two more coins (14).
Ride the platform back to the right, then climb the small ladder and
recombine. On the above ledge, place smaller Docos in the yellow outlines
nearby and jump from them to reach the moving platform overhead. Ride it to
the left, grabbing five coins (19). At the far end, put smaller Docos in the
yellow outlines there, then open the treasure box (T1). Go back across via
the moving platform, then recombine.
To the right, you will see two platforms next to each other. One will sink
and the other will rise when you step on them, so hop across, grabbing the
two coins (21). Jump onto the sinking platform to collect the final four
coins (25) below it, then jump repeatedly so it rises up again. When you
reach the top, jump to the next ledge and climb up to the goal.
Stage 1-8
---------
Starting off, dash all the way to the right as the floor beneath you
crumbles. Grab the eight coins (8) along the way, then open the treasure box
(T1) at the far end. Drop down to the platform below and defeat the bee
(throw a roly-poly Doco at it), then jump to grab the coins in the middle
area (18). Go back to the far right and place a smaller Doco on the purple
switch, then drop down to the small safe ledge below by the spikes.
Place a small Doco on the red switch, then dig through to the area below.
Stun the spider (throw a smaller Doco at it), then go right and stack two
smaller Docos and climb up them to reach the four coins (22) in the alcove
above. Recombine into the larger Doco, then wait for the spider to go left
before climbing down the ladder. Stack five small Docos, then climb up them
and go through the small passage to grab two more coins (24). Of course, wait
for the spider to move to the right before going in there.
Recombine again, and head left to open another treasure box (T2). Place the
new small Doco on the yellow switch, and climb up the ladders to reach the
now-accessible ledge. Jump onto it and open the last treasure box (T3), then
drop back down to the bottom area. You will see a green switch in an alcove
guarded by another spider. Take a smaller Doco and drag it through the
opening when the spider moves to the far left, and place it onto the green
switch. Recombine into the smaller Doco, then head all the way right to
finish the stage and the first world!
==============
Area 2: Plains
==============
Stage 2-1
---------
From the start, jump to grab two coins (2) atop the first platform. Place two
smaller Docos in the yellow outlines above the spikes, them carefully drop
between them to grab a single coin (3) below. Get back onto the left ledge
and recombine, then throw a small Doco at the ceiling switch to make a floor
appear over the spikes. Open the treasure box (T1) and grab four coins (7) to
the right, then go back and place a small Doco on the purple switch below the
low area to the left. Recombine after the switch is active, then climb the
ladder and collect three coins (10) on the platform above.
Place a smaller Doco in one of the yellow outlines above, then jump from it
to the balance ledges. Hop across them and grab two coins (12) to the left,
then hop back to the right and land on the eastern green platform. Recombine
and open the treasure box (T2) in the alcove below, then continue right and
jump onto the moving platform. Place smaller Docos in the lowest yellow
outline to the right, as well as the middle/left outlines above it. Stay
against the right wall as you drop so you can collect four coins (16). Land
safely on the block you formed above the spikes, then drop down to the left
and recombine.
For the next part, drop down to the lower area and you will see a target
hanging above. Throw a smaller Doco at it to clear the barrier to the right.
Recombine into your larger form, then jump to grab the last five coins (21)
as you fall. When you land, simply go right to exit this stage.
Stage 2-2
---------
Begin by climbing the ladder and rolling down the hill, grabbing seven coins
(7) on the way. At the bottom, jump to grab an additional four (11). Jump
onto and ride the moving platform upward, collecting two coins in the air
(13). At the top, split into smaller Docos and jump across the balanced
platforms to the left, grabbing four coins on them (17). Go through the
narrow passage and open the treasure box (T1).
Go back through the passage and across the balanced platforms, then jump onto
the eastern ledge. Recombine into the larger Doco, and jump onto the upper
ledge to find another coin (18). Drop down to the other side and push the
first two blocks as far as you can. After you push the second one, split into
smaller Docos and stack them upward in the second corridor. Climb up them to
reach the top platform, then recombine and push the third block until you
fall through the hole in the floor.
Below, you will see two spiders moving along their tracks, with a yellow box
outline at the intersection point. When both spiders are at the end of their
tracks, quickly place a smaller Doco in the yellow outline to trap the
spiders. At that point, drop down to grab the last four coins (22), then
stack some more smaller Docos to reach the upper ledge. Recombine into the
larger form and go right to complete the stage.
Stage 2-3
---------
When you start off, you will see a room full of blocks. You can destroy them
by throwing a roly-poly Doco through them. Use this method to break the
blocks and collect six coins (6) in this first area. You don't need to
destroy all of the blocks, so try and keep a path leading to the northeast
section open. When you reach that open corner, recombine and jump onto the
next platform. Throw a smaller Doco at the dragonfly to kill it, then stack a
couple along the left wall and jump to/climb the ladder above. Split into
smaller Docos so you don't fall through the platform, then collect three
coins (9) and jump onto the moving platform.
When you reach the other side, recombine and dash across the crumbling floor,
collecting three more coins (12). Land on the sinking platform on the right
side, grabbing the coins above it (16) as you fall, then drag smaller Docos
to fill the yellow outlines. Jump onto the ledges you just formed to get four
more coins (20). After that, recombine and fall to the ground below.
Push the block to the right just enough so that you can climb the ladder. Do
so and collect three coins (23), then throw a smaller Doco at the purple wall
switch. Before you continue, stack a bunch of the smaller Docos on the nearby
ledge, then climb up them to reach the ledge above. Open the treasure box
(T1), then recombine and head southeast to the goal.
Stage 2-4
---------
Begin by throwing a smaller Doco at the dragonfly overhead to kill it.
Recover the thrown Doco, then climb the ladder and collect two coins (2).
Fill the yellow outlines with smaller Docos and go across to find two more
coins (4) and an orange switch. Hit the switch, then recombine and drop to
the lower area. Grab three coins (7) and head all the way right to find a
block. Push it as far as it will go, then split into smaller Docos so you can
collect the two coins (9) overhead.
Recombine and head left a little, then climb the ladder. When the moving
platform comes, ride it upward, collecting two coins (11) on the way up. At
the top, go right and fall onto the sinking platform. You will see a small
alcove on the right side; split into smaller Docos and move into that alcove.
Drag the others into the alcove if possible, or onto the ledge above so that
the sinking platform rises up. Then, drop down and use a small Doco to hit
the purple switch. Also, open the first treasure box (T1) in the opposite
corner.
Now, recombine and stack the smaller Docos so you can reach the sinking
platform on the right side above. Climb the small ladder and jump onto the
first sinking platform, then jump from a higher ledge into the northeast
alcove. Get next to the block there, then recombine into your larger form.
Push the first block as far as it will go, then drop into the lower area and
grab the three coins (14).
Next, recombine and jump to the upper half of this area. Go right and jump
while holding Right repeatedly to push the second block. Push it until you
are able to jump onto it, then stop and split into smaller Docos. Jump over
the block and recombine, and push the block to the left until you fall.
Collect the four coins (18), then jump back to the above ledge and split into
smaller Docos to fit through the eastern opening. Drop to the area below and
open the second treasure box (T2).
Dig through the floor by where the treasure box was and collect another coin
(19) while in small form. Recombine and push the block to the left so you can
dig through the floor. Fall onto the ledge below and open the third treasure
box (T3), then drop to the area below. Grab the last two coins (21) and
continue to the end of the level.
Stage 2-5
---------
In this stage, you will notice a new feature in the form of wooden fences you
can climb on. Simply jump onto it and you will be able to hang on and climb
across it safely. Head right, collecting a total of eight coins (8), then go
into the area to the right. Stack all of your smaller Docos up, then climb up
to reach the red switch. Hit the switch, then recombine and drag a small Doco
to trigger the orange switch above.
Recombine again and climb up the fences to reach the next area above. Go left
and stack the smaller Docos on the first sinking platform, then climb up them
and grab two coins (10) to the left. Recombine and head all the way left
until you fall onto a second sinking platform. When you reach the low point,
stack four smaller Docos on this platform, then drop off the platform. Open
the treasure box (T1) and place a small Doco on the green switch here. Now,
jump onto that sinking platform and climb up the Docos, and head right along
the green platform to reach the two coins (12).
Once you do this, go back to the sinking platform and stack all of your small
Docos, and climb them to reach the top platform. Recombine when you get there
and head all the way right to the fences. This time, jump to the fences above
and climb above the spikes to the right. Grab the single coin (13) you see,
then make your way downward, grabbing four more coins (17) along the way.
Climb onto the platform directly below the one with the spikes on it, and
drag a smaller Doco along the fences and place it between the sets of spikes
on the platform above.
Leave the smaller Doco there for now, and continue going right along this
path, collecting three more coins (20). When you see the purple switch above,
carefully drag that smaller Doco and place it onto the switch. Leave it there
for right now, and climb down the fence below. Grab two coins (22) and dig
through the floor, then collect the final coin (23) and open the last
treasure box (T2) as you fall/land.
Now, climb onto the fences and head left between the rows of spikes. Once you
get to the other side safely, climb up and jump onto the platform below the
one with the spikes (it's next to a sign pointing to the right). Go right
until you see the goal sign. Stand NEXT TO the left side of the sign, then
recombine with that lone small Doco you left on the switch. With that done,
proceed to the goal.
Stage 2-6
---------
Starting off, go right and place a smaller Doco on the purple switch to
trigger it. Recombine and climb up the first set of ladders. Split into
smaller Docos and go right, then recombine to push the block as far right as
it will go. Split again to get out of the passage, then recombine and climb
the second set of ladders. Roll down the slope and grab four coins (4) on the
platform, then roll down the second slope.
At the bottom, jump onto the ledge next to the bell statue. You will see two
sinking platforms and yellow outlines above some spikes. Drag a small Doco
through the passage with the spikes and place it on the sinking platform to
the right. Move yourself to the right and stack some smaller Docos, then
climb them to get onto that platform. Recombine and create a stack using all
of your smaller Docos on the right side of this sinking platform. Climb up
them and go into the alcove to reach the treasure box (T1).
Climb back down your stack, and drag a few of them to form another stack,
this time on the left side of the platform. Drag a couple more through the
passage to fill the yellow outlines, too. Go through and get onto the other
sinking platform, then drag another small Doco to sit on it while you go into
the left passage and grab the two coins (6). Now, recombine and jump
repeatedly so the platform rises and you can reach the ledge above.
For the next part, jump to the upper area and place a smaller Doco on the
orange switch to the left. Leave it there and head right until you grab the
two coins (8), then recombine and continue onward. Grab three more coins (11)
and throw a small Doco to kill the dragonfly. In the area to the right, you
will see a red platform and a red switch nearby. On the red platform, stand
on the third block from the right, then place a smaller Doco on the switch.
You will fall, collecting four coins (15) as you drop.
When you land, recombine and place a smaller Doco in the yellow outline to
the left, trapping the small enemy inside. Jump from the block you formed and
get onto the above ledge. Collect two coins (17) to the left, then stand on
the slightly raised platform and throw a small Doco at the target switch
hanging overhead. Recover the Doco, then create a stack leading to the green
platform above. Climb onto it to reach the last four coins (21), then
recombine and drop to the ground. Then, simply go all the way right to reach
the goal.
Stage 2-7
---------
Starting off, go right and grab the first two coins (2). Throw a smaller Doco
at the dragonfly above to kill it, then make a stack of smaller Docos and
climb/jump from them to the northwest ledge. There, grab four more coins (6)
and head right. Climb the first ladder and hop across the yellow outlines to
reach the left ladder. Climb up a little bit and you will see a second ladder
between the upper ledges. So, climb your ladder all the way up first and grab
the coins (8) in the alcove above.
After you do that, climb down to the second ledge and go up the opposite
ladder. Grab two more coins (10) there, then push the block all the way to
the left. Form a stack of smaller Docos and climb up them to reach the
treasure box (T1) above. Then, go down the ladders to reach the lower area,
and continue right this time. Collect two coins (12) atop the green blocks,
then go back left until you're on solid ground. Place a smaller Doco on the
green switch above, then drop directly down to an area below.
Go right and place another small Doco on the orange switch, clearing the wall
to the right. Grab the five coins (17) in that side passage, then recombine
into your larger form. Form a stack of smaller Docos on the raised platform
below the hole between the green blocks and the solid platform above. Climb
up there via the stack, then recombine and head up the next ladder. You will
see a sign which will show you a pattern that will be important shortly.
For now, jump to the next ledge and throw a smaller Doco at the dragonfly to
defeat it. Recombine and jump to the top ledge, then ride the moving platform
across the gap. Be sure to grab the single coin (18) in the air along the
way. At the other side, open the second treasure box (T2), then split into
smaller Docos. Drop to the platform below and grab the two coins (20) there,
then recombine to fall through these crumbling platforms.
Below, grab the final five coins (25), and you will see a grid of yellow
outlines. Place your smaller Docos into it to form the pattern shown before.
It should look like this (X signifies where the small Docos go):
O X O
X X X
O X O
Once you complete the pattern, the floor will open up nearby. Drop into the
gap and recombine when you land, then open the final treasure box (T3) and
head right to the goal.
Stage 2-8
---------
From the start, use a smaller Doco to kill the dragonfly, then climb the
ladder. Jump to grab two coins (2), then climb down the second ladder to find
two more coins (4). Below, carefully climb down further and wait for the
spider to move downward to its lower track. Go into the upper-left alcove and
grab the coin (5), then place a smaller Doco in the yellow outline directly
next to you to keep the spider at bay. Dig through the dirt and grab the next
coin (6) at the other end (watch for the spider), then climb down the bottom
ladder.
Open a treasure box (T1) and grab three coins (9) to the right, then watch
for the spider and climb back up. Recombine and trap the spider in the upper-
left section of its track by using the yellow outline again, then open the
second treasure box (T2) to the right. Now, climb up the ladders to reach the
top of the area, then recombine once more. Roll down the slope to the right,
collecting five coins (14) as you go. When you land, climb down to the bottom
area and grab three more coins (17).
You will see a mysterious jar sitting there; drop small Docos into it and the
meter on the jar will fill. Once it's full, the green wall above will
disappear, so get to it. Once you're done, climb up and go right onto a
sinking platform. Hop into the right alcove and open the third treasure box
(T3) to get a new small Doco, then go back across the platform and climb the
ladders to the new area above.
Recombine at the top, and wait for the spider to move upward on its track so
you can grab the coin (18) to the right. When the spider moves to the far
right section, trap it by filling the yellow outlines with small Docos. With
that done, jump from them to reach the upper ledge by the bell statue,
grabbing another coin (19) in the process. Recombine and defeat the dragonfly
as it flies away from you, then go right and open the last treasure box (T4).
Next, go right and dig through the dirt to reach the area below. Head left
and collect the last five coins (24), then walk onto the sinking platform.
Then, jump off and meet with your fellow Docomodake ahead to complete the
second world!
====================
Area 3: Clover Field
====================
Stage 3-1
---------
Starting off, collect the six coins (6) to the right, then dig through the
ground to reach the next area. As soon as you land, you will roll down a
slope, grabbing five more coins (11) as you progress. At the bottom, you will
see an opening above you with spikes along that path. Drag a smaller Doco
through the passage, dropping it on the sinking platform at the end. Then,
slide it onto the purple switch to remove the wall ahead, then recombine.
Observe the pattern on the sign as you continue up the ledges to the right.
Collect two coins (13) and form a stack so you can reach the sinking platform
above. Climb up your stack and hop across the platform to reach the first
treasure box (T1). Then, recombine and drop to the lower area again. Up
ahead, place small Docos in the yellow outlines to contain the enemies below
them. Walk across and recombine at the other side, then jump onto the moving
platform and ride it upward, collecting five coins (18) on the way.
Get into the right alcove as the platform moves so that you can open the
treasure box (T2) there. Then, get back onto the moving platform and watch
the spider on the track above. When it moves to the upper half, block it by
dragging a smaller Doco into the yellow outline located on the left side of
the track. Then, jump onto the ledge and head to the left wall, and
recombine. Wait for the spider to move to the lower-right area of the track,
then fill the yellow outlines again to block the spider. Jump from the block
you formed to reach the area above.
Go right and split into smaller Docos so you can collect the last six coins
(24) in the narrow passage. Get back out and recombine, then look at the grid
above. The pattern here is like so (X are the small Doco locations):
X O X
O O O
X O X
Complete the pattern and the green wall will be cleared. Walk just past where
the wall was and recombine, then continue to the exit.
Stage 3-2
---------
Starting off, place smaller Docos in the yellow outlines to form ledges. Jump
across said ledges to collect two coins (2) at the other side, then recombine
and roll down the slope. Split into smaller Docos again to get through the
low passage, then look below to see two spiders on their tracks. Wait for
them to move to the right end, then quickly drop down and grab the four coins
(6) in the left alcove. Jump back out and head right, and drop down to the
bottom area.
When you land, recombine and go right to see the rebounding walls (they are
dark green walls) which will allow your roly-poly Docos to bounce back and
forth if you throw them at the wall. So, throw one diagonally upward at the
wall so it bounces to the other side, breaking through the blocks above the
mysterious jar. Once the opening is made, drag three smaller Docos through
the passage and into the jar to open the way forward. Split into smaller
Docos once more and head right to find five coins (11).
Next, make your way through the narrow maze of passages, collecting the coins
along the way. When you reach the top area, dash to the right to make it over
the gap so you reach the northeast coin, giving you a total of five more
coins (16). Then, drop into the opening with the slope below and collect two
more coins (18). Drop down to the bottom area and head right to reach a vine.
Climb up a short bit and go right to find a single coin (19) below. Stand
below the coin high above and recombine, then form a stack so you can reach
it (20).
After that, go back to the vine and recombine before climbing to the top.
Jump onto the next ledge and collect the coin directly above (21). Split into
smaller Docos and take the lower path to the left. Place a smaller Doco on
the orange switch above to clear the orange blocks. Go forward and open the
treasure box (T1), then go back right to where the vine was. This time, go
through the above passage and grab the last four coins (25). Step on the
green switch, then go back out of the passage and recombine before heading
through the goal.
Stage 3-3
---------
Begin by throwing a Doco at the flying enemy to kill it, then grab the two
coins (2) to the right. Recombine and stand on the sinking platform until you
reach the two small alcoves. At that point, split into smaller Docos and move
into one of these alcoves, and place the other small Docos on the ledge above
to raise the platform up. Drop under it and recombine, then wait for the
moving platform to rise before you go below it to reach four coins (6). Ride
that platform upward and throw a smaller Doco at the target switch, then
recombine and ride back down so you can continue to the right.
You will see a block at the edge of a raised platform above. Form a stack of
three smaller Docos in the passage next to it, then push the block just
enough so you can jump through the first small gap above it. Recombine and
jump around the block to the dirt patch, then dig through and collect three
coins (9). Climb the vine and roll down the slope, and place a smaller Doco
on the green switch to clear the barrier in front of you.
In this next part, you will see spiders moving around square platforms in the
air. Drop below the first two, then place Docos in a couple of the yellow
outlines surrounding each platform, so as to trap the spiders in a corner
away from where you are. Do this for the first two platforms, then form a
stack so you can jump atop the second platform. From there, jump to the left
platform by filling in another yellow outline, and then onto a high ledge.
Head all the way left and collect three coins (12), then go back out to the
spider platforms.
Jump onto the middle platform and trap the spider along the bottom part of
the third platform's track, by using small Docos in the yellow outlines. Fill
another of the outlines so you can jump onto the third platform, then get to
the far right ledge and open the treasure box (T1). Now, recombine and drop
to the area below when it's safe to do so. Collect four coins (16) and ride
the sinking platform downward, collecting five more coins (21) on the way
down. At the bottom, simply go right to finish the stage.
Stage 3-4
---------
Starting off, place smaller Docos in the three yellow outlines above the gaps
ahead, so you trap the enemies below. Jump up the ledges and grab the first
three coins (3), then stand next to the mysterious jar and recombine. Trigger
the third enemy to jump out of its hole, then place a small Doco in the
yellow outline when the enemy is above to keep it there. Split into smaller
ones and drop into the alcove below to find three more coins (6). Now, drop
small Docos into the jar (five total) to open the wall ahead. Go through and
place another small Doco on the purple switch to have the jar expel the Docos
from inside.
Now, recombine and continue ahead to find a block in front of a sign. Push
the block to the left and you will see the design, which is the following:
X O O
X O O
X X X
Complete the pattern in the grid by placing smaller Docos in the appropriate
yellow outlines, and the ceiling will open up. Split into smaller Docos and
jump up to find five coins (11) and get across the crumbling ledges. Move all
the way to the left and recombine before climbing up the vine. Avoid the two
spiders and head right to find a treasure box (T1) which will give you
another smaller Doco.
From here, place two smaller Docos in the yellow outlines to form a ledge
upward. Split into smaller ones so you can jump onto the series of sinking
platforms to the left, grabbing six more coins (17) as you go. Stand on the
middle platform and drag one of the smaller Docos to you, then throw it at
the green switch on the wall in front of you. Recombine with it and jump onto
the now accessible left ledge to open the second treasure box (T2). Then,
head back to the right and recombine.
You will see the two balanced ledges ahead with spikes below them. There are
safe sections between the spikes, so form a stack of seven smaller Docos in
the leftmost safe spot below (it's against the left wall). Jump from the
stack onto the balances, then hop your way to the upper-right ledge.
Recombine and head downward via the sinking platforms, grabbing the last
seven coins (24) along the way. When you reach the bottom, go right to exit.
Stage 3-5
---------
As soon as you begin, you will see a bunch of rebounding walls in front of
you, and some yellow outlines and a mysterious jar on the other side of the
wall. You need to throw smaller Docos diagonally upward so they bounce up the
walls and through the opening above, so that they land by the jar. Each time
a Doco lands over on that side, drop them into the jar. It will take three
total to make this happen. Once the red blocks are removed, recombine and
collect the four coins (4) above.
Continue all the way right and you will see an opening above you filled by
blocks. Throw Docos into the opening to clear the blocks, then form a stack
and go up into that area. Collect a total of eight coins (12) in this area,
then recombine and exit through the left opening (you may need to throw more
smaller Docos). Ride the moving platform upward to the next part, then head
all the way right. Throw a smaller Doco to defeat the flying enemy, then
throw another one at the purple target.
Now, go back to the left and jump to the higher ledge there. Grab the two
coins (14) and cause the platforms to crumble, then form a stack of three
small Docos along the right edge of the platform. Atop the stack, push the
block to the right as far as it will go, then jump onto it and recombine.
Next, dash across the next couple of ledges full of crumbling platforms (you
can take the safer route and split into smaller Docos and walk across).
Collect the five coins (19) and open the treasure box (T1) to the far right.
After that, recombine if you did split up and dig through the ground below to
reach the next section. Split into smaller Docos once more and drop into the
small opening below. Collect the final four coins (23) as well as open the
second treasure box (T2) down there. Then, get back out of the passage and
recombine before continuing to the goal.
Stage 3-6
---------
Starting off, you will see two spiders on their tracks in the opening ahead.
Wait for them both to move to the left, then quickly jump onto the ledge and
collect the five coins (5) as you move to the right. At the other end, form a
stack of five smaller Docos on the sinking platform, then climb up it to
reach two coins (7) above. Split into smaller Docos and head right, and drop
onto another sinking platform. Go right and open the treasure box (T1), then
step on the purple switch to open the way forward below.
To get out of here, place a nearby smaller Doco on that sinking platform so
you can get out. Then, continue onto the next sinking platform and recombine.
You will see three coins above a tall gap to the left. Form a stack there so
you can climb up and grab those three coins (10). Once that is settled, split
into smaller Docos if you need to still, then go left into a narrow maze
passage. Collect a total of seven coins (17) in here, then recombine and form
a stack to make it out of the end of the maze.
Now, get back to the sinking platform before you recombine again. From there,
go down and right to scoop up another five coins (22). Ahead you will see a
grid of yellow outlines; if you climb the vine and push the block to the
left, you will see the sign which reveals the pattern. The pattern is as
follows (X signifies smaller Docos, naturally):
X O X
X O X
O X O
Fill in that grid with the aforementioned pattern, and the purple barrier
above will vanish. Climb the vine and go left before you recombine once more. </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Cautiously defeat the flying enemy above, then form a stack to reach the area
high above. Grab the last five coins (27) up there, then throw Docos through
the blocks to gain access to the second treasure box (T2). Recombine and
retrieve any thrown Docos, then head right to reach the goal.
Stage 3-7
---------
From the start, go right and collect the first three coins (3). When you
reach the wall ahead, form a stack with as many Docos as possible so you can
make it through the tall and narrow corridor. At the other side, drop down
and ride the moving platform across the spike pit. Go into the first passage
ahead to find a single coin (4). Form a stack to reach the upper section of
the maze, where you will be able to collect an additional three coins (7).
Make your way to the southeast corner of this maze, then recombine. Form a
stack along the right wall and climb up to reach a sign pointing upward. Jump
to the ledges above and grab a single coin directly above (8), then go left.
Recombine and split into smaller Docos, then form a stack so you can go into
the orange maze and claim two more coins (10). Once you do that, get out of
the maze and recombine once more. This time, go left to find another coin
(11), then climb the vine.
At the top, go left and drop onto the first set of balances. This next part
is VERY important since you can get stuck and be forced to restart the level
if you don't do this properly. Stand on the right balance and form a stack of
as many smaller Docos as possible on the same balance (seven will do). Then,
drop to the lower area and collect four coins (15) and open the treasure box
(T1). With that done, jump back onto the balance above and go right onto the
other set of balanced ledges. Drop through them to reach the area below, then
make your way to the southeast corner of the green maze again.
Over in that corner, recombine, then form a stack along the right side so you
can reach the area above. Climb up and jump through the right side of the
orange maze, and then head right. For this next part, you must be in small
form, so leave your tall stack below for the time being. Hop your way
downward along a series of ledges that crumble if you are too heavy,
collecting a total of six coins (21) along the way. Each platform has a coin,
so this is how you will be able to keep track of where to jump.
When you reach the bottom, recombine and head left. Dig through the dirt to
reach the area below, and drop from the sinking platform to the ground. Go
left and you will see a series of yellow outlines. Place smaller Docos in
them to form a path across the spikes (you need to fill all five spaces),
then dash to make it safely across. Grab the four coins (25) along the way,
then recombine and push the block as far as it will go. Dig to the lower area
and stand directly below the ceiling switch, and throw a Doco at it to create
a ledge below the eggs; that way they won't fall on you.
At the other side, jump to reach three coins (28), then place a small Doco on
the orange switch. Put some more smaller Docos into the yellow outlines to
form a ledge, then jump to the area above. Open the treasure box (T2) and
throw another Doco at the green target overhead. Recombine and dash all the
way right along the path. When you reach the end, dig down and continue to
the bell statue. Form a stack so you can reach the sinking platform, then
jump from the platform to the ledge above. Recombine and jump to the next
ledge, and the goal is just ahead to the right.
Stage 3-8
---------
Begin by dropping to the area below, then split into smaller Docos to pass
under the low wall. Open the first treasure box (T1) and collect a new
smaller Doco for your group. Up ahead you will see something new in the form
of a mimic; it will copy your every move, so you need to trap it in the small
alcove on the other side (fill the yellow outlines to achieve this). Split
into smaller Docos and continue right to reach four coins (4). Then, drop
down to the area below.
First, head left and you will see spiders on their diamond-shaped tracks.
Make your way to the far left while avoiding them, and collect four more
coins (8). Climb the vine and you will find three more coins (11) and the
second treasure box (T2) to open. With that done, climb back down and head
all the way right to reach six coins (17) in the corner. For the next part,
drag three smaller Docos through the openings above and onto the sinking
platform. With the platform lowered, climb the nearby vine and jump onto the
sinking platform yourself. Recombine and form a stack, then climb/jump to the
above ledges.
Since you cannot go right for now, form a stack on the small ledge to the
left (you may want to fill the yellow outlines as well to be safe from the
falling eggs), and get onto the ledge high above. Recombine and drag some
smaller Docos through the narrow spike-lined passage directly above you, and
place them on the sinking platform. Once the platform is lowered enough, jump
onto it and form a stack so you can collect the three coins (20). Get to the
vine above and climb up, then recombine once again.
From here, jump to the next vine above you. To the left you will see some
rebounding walls and a red switch, but there is a spike pit below it. Stand
on the left edge and aim a roly-poly Doco diagonally on the left wall so that
it bounces back and hits the wall switch. If you lose any Docos to the
spikes, it's okay for now. Once the switch is triggered, go into the alcove
to the right and open the treasure box (T3). Then, climb down the vine and
throw another Doco at the bell above the statue to revive any lost Docos.
Recombine again before you continue to the right. Push the first block until
you fall, then go to the bottom area. Push the next block until it lines up
with the block on the ledge above it, then stop. Form a stack next to this
block, then climb up and push the higher block to the right until you fall.
Split into smaller Docos and fall through the openings to reach two coins
(22) and the orange switch. Step on the switch to clear the final barrier
below.
Now, jump out of this passage and get onto the highest ledge, next to the
very first block. Recombine and push the block to the left so you can reach
the above area, where you will find four more coins (26); you need to split
into smaller Docos to reach them all. Form a stack along the wall to the
right, then go over that wall and form another stack on that single orange
block above. Also place a small Doco in the yellow outline to the right.
Climb up the stack and go right across the block formed by the Doco, and make
yet another stack to the right. Go up that stack and head left to reach the
final two coins (28).
Once you have the coins, stand in that alcove and recombine. Form a stack
next to the spikes so you can reach the high ledge above and to the right.
After the stack is done, go up it and open the last treasure box (T4). Now,
split into smaller Docos and go through the passage below. Place another
small Doco in the yellow box outline below so you don't fall onto the spikes.
Get to the area with the blocks, then recombine yet again.
Push the first block to the left until you fall, then jump out and form a
stack in that gap so you can continue to push the block forward. At the end,
recombine and get past the bell statue. Stand on the sinking platform and
drop to the area far below. When you reach the next sinking platform, jump
onto the ledge above it and fill the yellow outlines below the eggs so that
you can safely proceed. When they are all blocked, pass under the eggs, then
recombine and meet the next Doco to complete the stage and the world!
================
Area 4: Bat Cave
================
Stage 4-1
---------
Starting off, jump up the ledges and defeat the bat by throwing a Doco at it.
Drop down by the bell statue and split into smaller Docos to grab the four
coins (4) in the left alcove, then step on the orange switch. Recombine and
stand on the right ledge, and wait for the spider to move to the right side
before trapping it between the yellow outlines that you fill with smaller
Docos. Form a stack on that square platform and jump to the higher ledge,
then up to the first treasure box (T1).
Recombine again and continue to the right below, climbing a ladder and
pushing the first block ahead. Drop into the first opening and split into
smaller Docos so you can get the next coin (5). Recombine and push the second
block all the way right, then jump to reach another coin (6). Form a stack of
four smaller Docos there and stand atop it to push the next block ahead. When
you fall into the alcove containing the coin (7), split into smaller Docos so
you can jump over the block. At the other side, recombine and push that same
block to the left. Drop down and grab yet another coin (8), then form a stack
to get out of that hole.
Above, wait for the spider to move to the right along its track, then form a
stack in the gap to the right so you can climb onto the ledge above the
block. Up there, recombine and form another stack to reach the upper-left
ledge. From there, jump to the higher ledges to the left and split into
smaller Docos so you can collect the three coins (11) in the narrow alcove
above. Recombine and head right, push a block as far as it will go, then jump
over it and into another opening to find four more coins (15).
Next, make your way back to the left, and drop down to the platform
surrounded by the spider's track. Drop off the right side and continue
downward so that you land on the right side of the block below. Take the
bottom path to the right to find four coins (19), then go back out of this
passage and split into smaller Docos so you can jump to the upper-right
ledge. If the bat spots you, throw another small Doco to kill it, then
quickly recombine and continue to the right. Drop through a small gap ahead
so you can reach the second treasure box (T2), then collect the three coins
(22) on the ledge above it.
From here, form a stack going upward through the opening above. Along the
way, jump onto the right ledge to grab the last four coins (26). At the very
top, recombine and head right to complete the stage.
Stage 4-2
---------
From the start, go right and dig down to the next level. Dig through the
leftmost dirt mound to reach six coins (6), then form a stack to get out of
that alcove. Recombine and dig through the other dirt pile, and you will see
a new feature in the form of a warp stump. If you drag a smaller Doco into
the stump's opening, it will warp to the other stump in the area. Try this
out below, and when your smaller Doco emerges in the enclosed area, place it
on the orange switch to open the way below.
Go around and drop through the new path, then split into smaller Docos and
head left. Wait for the egg enemy to retreat upward before passing so you can
open the treasure box (T1). Get back to the right side in the same way, and
stand next to the rightmost gap. Place a Doco in the yellow outline below,
then drop down to collect three coins (9) in the air. When you land, go left
and jump to grab two more coins (11). Dash to the left to get across the
small gap, then place another smaller Doco in the yellow outline below. Drop
down into the lower-left area and collect four more coins (15).
Jump back to the right ledge and drop into the following gap. Go right and
drop through the yellow outline (don't fill this one). Dash to the left on
the elevated ledge to grab three coins (18), then drop into the gap to
collect two more (20). As soon as you land, get to the left side and prepare
a small Doco to throw at the bat flying around. Once it's gone, recombine,
then use smaller Docos to fill the yellow outlines and form a ledge you can
use to reach the upper platform.
To the right, dig through the first dirt mound, then split into smaller Docos
before you try to dig through the second layer. As soon as you dig through,
hold Right as you fall so that you land on the ledge and collect the four
coins there (24). Fill the yellow outline to the left with another smaller
Doco, then go across and open the other treasure box (T2). Recombine at this
point so you fall through to the lower area. Drag a small Doco through the
warp stump and place it on the green switch to open the way forward.
Below, you will see two spiders on their tracks moving back and forth. Trap
them both on one side at a time, filling the yellow outlines with your small
Docos. Collect the two coins (26) on one side, then jump out of this pit and
trap the enemies on the other side so you can reach the final two coins (28).
With that done, drop through to the very bottom of the level and recombine,
then go right to exit this stage.
Stage 4-3
---------
Begin by going right and pushing the block until you are able to access the
digging spot. Dig through and split into smaller Docos, then pass under the
block and jump out at the other side. Jump onto the sinking platform ahead
and recombine, then pull a small Doco through the warp stumps to press the
purple switch. With that done, split into your smaller form and go right to
collect two coins (2). When you can, recombine again, then ride the moving
platform upward.
At the very top, collect four coins (6) in the alcove, but watch out for the
bat. If it attacks you, simply drag any dazed Docos back to you so they can
be saved. Kill the bat with a thrown Doco, then ride the platform back
downward and get off at the second ledge from the bottom. Split into smaller
Docos yet again and go into the narrow passage, where you will see a spider's
track in front of you. Wait for it to move toward the top of its track, then
drag another Doco through and into the yellow outline, trapping the spider
above. Now, jump through that passage and collect six coins (12) in the
upper-right alcove.
Go back out of the spider area and head all the way left to a green switch.
Hit it and jump through the opening above, and continue to the far left. You
will see a mimic enemy below; move and jump so that it hits the spikes,
killing itself. With that threat gone, go into that area and collect another
six coins (18). Split back into smaller Docos and move all the way right
through this area until you reach the moving platform again. At that point,
recombine and ride upward to the next level.
Once you're at your next stop, go left and jump to retrieve three coins (21).
Up ahead, dig through the floor and grab two coins (23), then place a small
Doco on the orange switch. This will enable you to get across the next part
without worrying about the egg enemies falling on you. When you get to the
other side, drop into the alcove below and open the first treasure box (T1).
Recombine and ride the next moving platform upward, but prepare a roly-poly
Doco to be thrown at the bat as soon as you get up there.
With the bat defeated, recombine and grab the five coins (28). Split up again
to pass under the low wall, then recombine and push the block a short bit
until you can jump over it. Get to the other side of the block and drop into
the gap below. Push the second block to the far right, then dig through the
floor and split into smaller Docos to reach the second treasure box (T2)
below. Finally, jump back out of this passage and recombine before heading to
the goal.
Stage 4-4
---------
Starting off, push the block to the right and dig through to the next area.
While standing on that ledge, throw a smaller Doco directly to the left,
breaking through the blocks and hitting the wall switch. Retrieve that Doco
and drop down, where you will spot a sign showing the pattern to be used
later in the stage:
X O O O X
O X O X O
O O X O O
O X O X O
X O O O X
Continue to the right and send a small Doco through the warp stump, then
place it on the red switch to open the way onward. Before you go, jump to the
above ledge and fill the yellow outlines so you can jump across to collect
eight coins (8) and open the first treasure box (T1). Go back down and
recombine, then head right. Before you drop into the opening below, split
into smaller Docos. Then, drop onto the crumbling ledges below (they won't
break if you are small). Make your way to the four coins (12) on the left
side, then drop your way downward to the lower-right corner. Open a treasure
box (T2), then recombine and fill the yellow outlines so you can cross safely
over the spikes.
Next, head left and throw a small Doco at the hanging target above. Recombine
and form a stack so you can reach the upper ledge to the right. Split up
further to make it through the narrow passage, then stand on the sinking
platform. Wait for the spider to head towards the other end of its track,
then drag a small Doco to the last yellow outline to trap the spider. Jump to
the ledge above the sinking platform, then fill in the top two yellow
outlines and dash across to the left. Drop through the opening ahead and go
left before you recombine.
Pass the dirt mounds for now, and jump to the ledge above and to the left.
Collect six coins (18), then go back a little and dig through the floor
below. Pass the bell statue and continue down to the very bottom of the
stage. Send a few small Docos through the first warp stump to weigh down the
first sinking platform. Jump onto it and drag small Docos into that warp
stump directly above, and the second sinking platform will be weighed down.
Split into smaller Docos if needed and go through the narrow opening, then
recombine and drop to open the treasure box (T3) below.
In this next part, you will see the large grid of yellow outlines. Before you
fill in the pattern from the sign earlier in the level, fill in some of the
lower ones so you can jump to and collect the five coins (23) above. After
that, form the pattern as shown above to open the way forward. Jump to the
right ledge and throw a small Doco at the bat to kill it. Then, recombine and
go forward to reach the goal.
Stage 4-5
---------
From the start, push the block until you can jump over it, then do so and
fall into the opening at the other side. Kill the bat and head right, then
climb the first ladder to reach a treasure box (T1) and four coins (4).
Ignore the block to the left as you continue going up the second ladder. Grab
two more coins (6) to the right, then push the block aside to reveal the
pattern on the sign as being the following:
O O O O X
O O O X O
O O X O O
O X O X O
X O O O X
For now, climb up the next couple of ladders and wait for the spider to pass
before jumping atop the platform it circles around. On the ledge above it,
grab four coins (10), then head all the way left. Drop down the gap and
collect four more coins (14), then head right and the mimic in the enclosed
area above will start to move. Lead it down the platforms and onto the orange
switch, which will open the way forward for you.
Up ahead, you will see the grid of yellow outlines. Form the pattern as shown
not too long ago, and hop upward on it to reach the ledges above. Up there,
collect another six coins (20) and open the second treasure box (T2) before
recombining and dropping down to the left. When you land, walk onto the
sinking platforms. Split into smaller Docos and form stacks on both of these
platforms (if either platform rises while you are still below, you will be
stuck and must restart the level). Open the treasure box (T3) below, then
jump back out via the platforms.
Continue to the right and downward until you reach the block. Recombine and
drag a smaller Doco through the passage above, and drop it onto the purple
switch. Then, push the block to the right and fall through to the area below.
Recombine and head right to see a maze of breakable blocks directly above
you. The only way to proceed is to throw smaller Docos diagonally through
these layers of blocks, then jumping through the openings to retrieve your
thrown Docos and make upward progress. In the center of the formation, you
will find a total of 11 coins (31) and the last treasure box (T4).
Once you make it to the solid center area, your next goal is the northeast
corner, since that is where the goal is located. Throw Docos to open a path,
then go back and collect them as they fall. Then, jump through the openings
to reach the upper-right ledge. Recombine before heading through the goal to
complete this stage.
Stage 4-6
---------
Starting off, roll down the slope and collect five coins (5). Fill the yellow
outlines with small Docos so you can reach the treasure box (T1) above, and
three coins (8) to the right. Go down the next slope and you will see a
narrow passage with spikes above and to the left. Drag a small Doco through
there and drop it onto the green switch, then go left and drop down to an
opening next to a block.
Recombine and push the block to the right so you fall through to a lower
ledge. Then, form a stack of three Docos in that opening so you can continue
pushing the first block. Once you are able to jump over the block, split into
smaller Docos and jump over the block so you can grab the two coins (10). Go
right and open a treasure box (T2), then go back left and down to the second
block. Push it to the right until you fall, then go right and send a small
Doco through the warp stump. When it appears below, place it on the purple
switch.
Next, go back to the left and stand on the first sinking platform. With it
weighed down, send another small Doco into the warp stump in the small alcove
ahead. Split into smaller ones and go right to the second sinking platform,
then recombine and form a stack on this sinking platform (you'll see why
shortly) before you push the block to the right. Jump above the block to grab
two coins (12), then drop to the area below. Drag the small Doco in the
enclosed area onto the red switch, then collect nine coins (21) to the right.
From here, jump back onto the sinking platform you put the stack of smaller
Docos onto (if you didn't do this, you would be stuck here). Split into
smaller ones and go left through the narrow opening, then recombine to weigh
down the next platform. At its lowest point, drop down to the area below.
Kill the bat nearby and climb down to the very bottom area. Avoid the spider
and open the last treasure box (T3) to the left, collect the last five coins
(26), and head right to the exit.
Stage 4-7
---------
Starting off, split into smaller Docos to pass under the wall. Jump up to the
top ledge while the mimic copies you. Jump to the left ledge and the mimic
will end up on the right ledge hopefully. Throw a Doco at the hanging target
to trap the mimic. With that settled, head to the right below and recombine
at the other end. Form a stack to reach the first set of balanced platforms
above, then recombine and stand on the right half of the balance, and place
all of your smaller Docos on the raised half. Be sure to collect the first
four coins (4) here.
When your side rises up, throw a small Doco at the bat above to kill it, then
jump to the second set of balances and repeat the same process (standing on
one side and forming a stack on the other). Collect four more coins (8) above
these balances, then get to the upper-left ledge and open the first treasure
box (T1). After that, jump across the balances to the right ledge. Send a
small Doco through the warp stump and drop it on the orange switch. Go down
to the ledge below and head right through the now open area, but do NOT
recombine just yet!
To the right you will see a switch on the ceiling; throw a Doco at it to
clear the green barrier above. With that gone, drag the other Doco still on
the orange switch onto the red switch ahead. That will lower the barrier
where you are, allowing you to collect six more coins (14). Go back left
slightly, and drag that Doco back to the orange switch and leave it there.
Now, go left to the balances and recombine there. Jump onto the moving
platform to the right, then split into smaller Docos and pass under the low
ceiling.
At the other side, recombine and push the block all the way to the right. Dig
through the rightmost dirt patch first, and collect the two coins below (16).
Form a stack of Docos to get out of this room, then go left and dig through
the other patch. Recombine to push the block to the left, and you will fall
into two more coins (18) and onto the purple switch. Form another stack to
get to the upper ledge once more, and collect the three coins (21) in the
small alcove that you just opened.
Next, recombine and drop to the lower area once more. This time, dig through
to the level below and head right. For the first square platform, trap the
spider along the bottom area by filling the yellow outlines in the bottom
corners. Jump from them to reach the top of the platform, then ride a moving
platform upward. At its peak, jump to the left ledge and open the treasure
box (T2) there. Drop back down to the first square platform, then trap the
second spider in the same manner ahead. Jump onto that next platform, and
collect four coins (25) on the upper ledge. Finally, recombine and drop to
the area below to reach the goal.
Stage 4-8
---------
Begin by going to the right and climbing up the first ladder. Jump to the
right ledge and grab the first coin (1), then fill the yellow outlines with
small Docos one at a time as you progress so you can reach an additional 11
coins (12) on the way upward. Once you collect all of the coins, get to the
northeast ladder and recombine. Wait for the two spiders above to pass, then
quickly jump to the ladder above and head left along the upper path. Jump to
the ledge above and open the treasure box (T1) to receive another small Doco
for your group. Quickly grab it before the ghost captures it!
After that, go right and collect three more coins (15). Go back to the left
side and form a stack so you can reach the balanced platforms above. Jump
across them to reach the moving platform above the spikes, and ride it
across. At the right side, jump to and climb the ladder above. Recombine and
push the block to the left, then enter the alcove to reach another treasure
box (T2).
Further to the right, fill the yellow outlines with small Docos to form
ledges. Drop onto these new ledges and grab four coins (19), then place a
small Doco on the green switch. Recombine and drop to the area below, and
kill the bat when you spot it. Below, you will have to dig your way through
the area, so look around to spot the coins and the spider enemy before you
begin. There are a total of six coins (25) to be had, so make sure you get
them. On the left side, hit the purple switch to clear a purple barrier
below. If you get stuck, form stacks or split into smaller Docos to navigate
the dirt maze.
Once you make it to the bottom, place a small Doco on the red switch to the
left. After that, recombine and climb down the ladder on the right side. If
you drop straight down from the ledge you are on, you will find a treasure
box (T3) to open. Above are several more ladders you can jump between, but
there are spikes below, so be careful. Make your way across the ladders; get
to their highest points, then hold Left to fall into the next one. Collect
the remaining eight coins (33) in this manner. When you reach the end, drop
to the bottom area and recombine. Then, head right to reach the end of the
stage and this world!
====================
Area 5: Windy Valley
====================
Stage 5-1
---------
Starting off, throw a small Doco at the bird enemy to kill it. Recombine and
split into smaller Docos and walk across the crumbling ledges. Climb down the
ladder and collect two coins (2), then climb back out. Ahead, drag a few
Docos through the passage and place them onto the high regular ledge, then
once you have three Docos there, move them onto the sinking platform. Walk
onto the platform and move the small Docos into the yellow outlines below
carefully so as not to hit the spikes. Then, drop onto that new ledge and
collect three coins (5).
Stand on the leftmost part of this ledge and pull that Doco into yourself so
you fall to the ledge below. Grab three more coins (8) and recombine below,
then place a small Doco in the single yellow outline above the spike pit
below. Form a stack of three more Docos atop the first one, then climb up and
push the block to the left so you can grab another coin (9) above. Climb back
down and head left to collect five more coins (14), then recombine once more.
You will see a hanging target surrounded by rebounding walls above; throw a
Doco at an angle to hit the target, then retrieve the stunned Doco.
From here, go left to the dirt patches, and form a stack of seven smaller
Docos there. Fill in the yellow outline, then climb up and use that small
ledge you formed to reach the first treasure box (T1). Recombine and dig
through the ground to reach the moving platform directly below. Get off at
the ledge below, then drop under the platform when it rises up to find two
more coins (16).
Stand on the leftmost part of the ledge (not on any of the purple blocks),
and place a small Doco on the purple switch above. Then, carefully place
another Doco on the green switch between the spikes. Drag the first Doco off
the purple switch, then walk across and jump to the next ledge. When you get
to the sinking platform, ride it downward until you can enter the right
alcove as a smaller Doco. Move enough of the other Docos off the platform so
it rises, then drop under it and recombine.
Dig down to the next area where you will find two more patches of dirt to be
dug through. The first one will lead to six coins (22) and the other will
lead to a warp stump. Send a small Doco through it, then when it emerges,
place it on the orange switch. Go left and drop through the now open path to
reach the second treasure box (T2). Recombine and dig downward some more, and
collect five more coins (27) as you head to the right. When you reach the
next maze of rebounding walls above, throw Docos through it so the red target
can be hit (you can also form a stack and climb up to get a more direct
shot). Either way, once the target is hit, recombine and go right to reach
the goal.
Stage 5-2
---------
From the start, climb the tall ladder and step on the green switch to the
left. Fill the yellow outlines ahead with smaller Docos, then stand on the
third one from the right wall. Recombine and you will fall through the
opening below, grabbing five coins (5) as you fall. To the right, split into
smaller Docos and fit through the passage. You will see a mimic right in
front of you. Lead it onto the red blocks above the spikes, then throw a
small Doco at the rebounding walls above so it hits the switch, dropping the
mimic into the spikes. Recover that Doco and throw another at the same switch
to replace the blocks.
Now, head right and pass under the low wall, then recombine. Place a small
Doco on the purple switch, then climb up to grab five coins (10). At the top
of the ladder, recombine once again. Form a stack of small Docos along the
right wall and fill the yellow outline, then climb up and go through the low
passage to grab two coins (12). If you don't fit, form additional stacks
above or below, but be careful that nobody falls onto the spikes! In the area
above, recombine and drop a total of nine small Docos into the mysterious
jar, which will open the area ahead.
Go all the way left and drop down, then go left and fill the three yellow
outlines above the spikes so you can reach those three coins (15). Go back
out and recombine, then fill the single yellow outline and form a stack above
it so you can reach the higher perch. Recombine again and fill the upper line
of outlines so you can get across and jump onto the ledge above. Recombine
yet again and open the treasure box (T1) there.
Head right and wait for the spider to move before jumping on the purple
switch. This will release the Docos from the jar below, so head left and
recombine into your large form. You will see an orange switch high above;
ignore it for right now. When the first moving platform comes down, wait for
the spider to move so you can jump onto it safely. Up above, wait for the
second spider to move before you cut across to the next platform.
At the top of this area, go left and roll down the slope, grabbing 11 coins
(26) for now. When you land, you will open the second treasure box (T2).
Climb the ladder and dig through the dirt, and head back to the right. This
time, use the stage viewer to move the screen upward so you can see the
orange switch. Place a Doco on that switch now, then make your way back
upward via the moving platforms while avoiding the spiders. Roll down the
first slope and you will stop on an orange platform. Grab the last coin (27)
and open the last treasure box (T3), then recombine and climb the ladder, and
dash right to the goal.
Stage 5-3
---------
Starting off, ride the first sinking platform downward to grab two coins (2).
At the low point, dash to the right to grab two more coins (4) as you land on
the next platform. Sink downward with it to reach two coins (6), then hop
upward to reach the vertically moving platform. Ride it upward and avoid the
bird as you open the treasure box (T1) on the right ledge. Ride the platform
back downward and land on the ledge directly below. There is a horizontally
moving platform below; ride it to grab four more coins (10), then drop off
when it reaches its rightmost point.
When you land, climb down the ladders and head left to some rebounding walls.
Throw a Doco to hit the purple switch, then retrieve the Doco and go downward
to find two coins (12). Split into smaller Docos and head right under the
wall, and then recombine. Push the block to the right so it covers the
spikes, then send a small Doco through the warp stump above and place it onto
the red switch ahead. Head through the passage and recombine, then watch out
for the spider in front of you.
Climb the tall ladder until you reach two yellow outlines to the left. Fill
them and split into smaller Docos to enter the room with the balanced
platforms. Form a stack on one of the balances (don't do this and you will be
stuck!), then drop down to open the treasure box (T2). Jump back onto the
lowered balance and head back to the ladder before recombining. Climb the
ladder to the top and collect six coins (18), then fill the yellow outlines
directly above you. Form a small stack so you can jump onto the moving
platform, then from it, jump onto the upper ledge above.
For this next part, you need to drag a smaller Doco through the spike-filled
passage above you. At the end of that passage, place the Doco on the orange
switch, then recombine. Go to the far right and drop into the alcove to find
four coins (22) and another treasure box (T3). Form a stack to get out of
this area, then recombine and start climbing down the right ladder. Along the
way down, collect four more coins (26) between the other short ladders. When
you reach the bottom, go right and you will complete the stage.
Stage 5-4
---------
Starting off, push the block to the right and you will fall onto a sinking
platform. Split into smaller Docos and go into the right alcove, and move
enough Docos off the platform so it will rise again. Drop below it and
recombine, then go right to find the mysterious jar. Fill it with nine Docos
to clear the purple block above, then jump into that passage. Drag a small
Doco through the corridor and place it onto the purple switch, releasing the
Docos from the jar. Jump over the spikes and land on the right ledge, then go
up and left to the yellow outline. Recombine and push the block to the left
so you can jump into the area above.
Up there, open the first treasure box (T1) and collect your newest small Doco
addition. Go right and jump to the right wall before sliding down the slopes,
collecting six coins (6) on the way down. When you land, head left and
collect three coins (9) above your head. As you move to the left, the mimic
will start to move. When it gets to the far right side of its platform, jump
to make it trigger the red switch. Grab three more coins (12), then head back
to the right. Open the next treasure box (T2) and drop through the opening to
collect nine coins (21) as you go down the next slope. Once you land, take
note of the sign above, which bears the following pattern:
X X X X
O O O O
O O O O
X X X X
Anyway, dash to the left and ignore the bird as you drop into the next area
below. Climb down the ladder and ignore the first block, then push the second
block to the right until you fall. Split into smaller Docos and head right,
and jump to the upper ledge. Climb the ladder and go left to grab three coins
(24), then step on the orange switch. Jump to the small ledge next to the
first block and push it to the left, then drop down and collect two coins
(26). Split into smaller Docos and grab the next two coins (28), then dig
through the dirt and head right once you land.
Recombine and continue to the right, where you will see a warp stump. Send
eight Docos through the stump, then have them form the pattern shown above in
the yellow outlines. When the purple barrier is cleared, go through it and
recombine. Fill in the outlines so you can reach the two coins (30) above it,
then recombine again and jump to the right ledge. Drag another small Doco
through the warp stump on the upper ledge, then place that Doco on the red
switch below.
Form a stack on the left end of the platform you are on, then climb/jump to
the high ledge above. Grab the last two coins (32) and open the third
treasure box (T3), then drop down and recombine. All that's left to do now is
to head right to complete the stage.
Stage 5-5
---------
Begin by falling through the crumbling ledges and riding the first sinking
platform downward. Grab two coins (2) to the left, then take note of the
pattern on the sign to the right:
X X X X X
X O O O O
X X X O O
X O O O O
X O O O O
As you ride the next sinking platform downward, hop on it to avoid hitting
the spider below. When that spider moves to the right, trap it by filling in
the yellow outline to the right. To the left, wait for the spiders to move
downward before digging through the first dirt patch. Trap the spiders in the
upper section of their tracks by filling the yellow outlines there, then dig
down to the bottom. Form a stack to the left and collect a total of five
coins (7).
Next, recombine and head right and down to a pile of blocks. Make your way
through them by throwing smaller Docos through the blocks and retrieving
them, collecting four coins (11) on the way down. At the bottom, go right and
drop onto the moving platform when it moves to the right. Ride it to the left
and jump down to open the treasure box (T1), then ride back across. To the
right, jump onto the vertically moving platform and ride it upward,
collecting a total of eight coins (19) on the way up.
When the platform stops, jump to the upper-right ledge. Drag smaller Docos
through the left passage and onto the sinking platform to lower it enough so
that you can walk onto it. Collect three coins (22) and jump to the upper
ledge, then recombine and fill in the yellow outlines with the above pattern.
With that done, climb the ladder and jump through the openings above to reach
the next section. Throw a Doco at the bird to kill it, then recombine and
head right. Collect two coins (24) and hit the purple switch, then form a
stack that curves to the left so you can jump over the spikes safely.
At the other side of the spikes, recombine and throw a Doco through the
blocks below. Ahead, fill the four yellow outlines with Docos, then drop
another one on the green switch between the spikes. Dash across the gaps to
the right and drop to the lower area. Recombine and form a stack/bridge over
the next set of spikes so you can get across fine. At the other side, open
the treasure box (T2) and drop to the area below. If you lost any Docos to
the spikes above, and it's probable you did, use the bell statue here.
After that, go down and sink with the first platform. At its low point, form
a stack on that platform to keep it weighed down, then drag small Docos
through the opening above the spikes and onto the sinking platform to the
right. Once it's weighed down, collect three coins (27) above it. Move some
Docos off the first platform so you can drop under it and collect five more
coins (32).
Place a small Doco on the red switch down there, then jump to the upper ledge
once more. Weigh down the left sinking platform so you can get back onto it,
then climb up the stack on the left platform. Jump to the top ledge and head
right across the red blocks to the final ledge. Stand on the edge of the
final platform and recombine, then go forward to the goal.
Stage 5-6
---------
Starting off, climb the ladder and push the first block to the right. Drop
into the gap and split into smaller Docos to reach the two coins (2), then
form a stack to climb back out. Jump to the ledge above the two blocks and
drop into the gap between them. Recombine and push the second block to the
right, then drop down and split up to reach two more coins (4). Jump out of
that small alcove and recombine to push the lower block to the left. Split up
once more and head right along the path below. Jump out at the end, then go
down and right to find two more coins (6).
Form a small stack against the left wall, then push the block to the far
right. Jump into the upper-right area and throw a small Doco at the red
target to clear the blocks ahead. Recombine and head left, then form a stack
to reach the next ledge above. Open the first treasure box (T1) and drop a
small Doco on the orange switch, then recombine. Push the second block to the
far right and jump into the opening above. At the end of the corridor, climb
the ladder and enter the right alcove. In this alcove, collect three coins
(9) and push the block to the left, revealing the pattern on the sign:
X O X O X
O O O O O
O O O O O
O O O O O
X X X X X
Go left and down slightly, and ride the moving platform to the left. Jump to
collect two coins (11) and hit the green switch, then form a stack atop the
green switch so you can get onto the green ledge above it. On your way up
through this shaft, fill the yellow outlines with smaller Docos to form
ledges, and collect four more coins (15). At the top, open another treasure
box (T2) on the left ledge, then recombine and stand on the sinking platform
to the right.
As the platform sinks, go into the right alcove and drop to the ledge below.
From there, go right and climb the ladders to the upper area. Recombine and
grab four coins (19), then fill the yellow outlines below to trap the
charging porcupine enemy. Drop into the lower area and throw a Doco at the
red target to clear the barrier to the right, then recombine. Jump over the
enemy and collect the two coins (21), then refill the yellow outlines and
jump from them to reach the upper ledge.
Up ahead, kill the bird enemy when it flies over the platform you are on.
Then, drop straight down and collect three coins (24), and open the treasure
box (T3) in the bottom corner. Now, recombine and fill in the pattern as
shown above. Once you do that, a path will appear above the spikes. Go across
it and collect five coins (29), then recombine at the other end and head
through the goal.
Stage 5-7
---------
From the start, fill the yellow outlines above the spikes, then dash across
them to collect four coins (4). Drop a small Doco on the green switch between
two of the spikes, and drop to the lower area to the right. Throw a Doco at
the wall switch to the left to make a small purple ledge appear, then
retrieve that Doco and split into smaller Docos as needed (move to the right
as you do this so the others don't fall into the spikes). Then, jump across
the purple ledge and grab two coins (6), and open the treasure box (T1) at
the other side below.
Get back across in the same way, then recombine and form a stack to reach the
upper ledge with the spikes. Fill in the rightmost yellow outline and jump
from it to reach the balanced platforms above. Hop across them to reach three
coins (9) to the right, then form a small stack on the right half of the
balance. Jump to the left half and onto the small block ledge, then recombine
and ride the moving platform to the left. Collect five coins (14) as you go
across, then climb the ladder and open the next treasure box (T2).
Climb back down onto the moving platform when it returns, then form a stack
of smaller Docos on the sinking platform above. When it's lowered enough,
jump onto it and then onto the next platform. Wait for the ghost to disappear
(or quickly drag out a small Doco and recombine with it), then drop nine
Docos into the mysterious jar to clear a block to the left. Form a ledge with
the yellow outlines to the left and go into that passage. Lead the mimic into
the spikes, then jump over to the left side and throw a Doco at the wall
switch to make a platform appear above the spikes. Also, collect four coins
(18) in here.
From here, recombine and fill the yellow outlines on the left side so you can
jump over the middle wall. Get out of this area to the right, then recombine
by the jar. Form a stack to the right of the jar, then jump from it to the
thin ledges above. Collect five coins (23) and drop to the lower area before
recombining. Drop through the left gap and hit the orange switch to release
the Docos above. Go down and right through the low passage, then recombine
again.
In this next part, you will see a mimic on the right side of the maze. Lead
it downward by digging through the dirt mounds in the platforms. When you dig
through the bottom layer, you will hit a red switch, trapping the mimic in a
lower alcove. Form a small stack to jump out of your own hole, and place a
small Doco on the left red switch. After that, collect the six coins (29),
then go to the right wall and form a stack so you can reach the upper area.
Make your way upward by jumping through the holes that the mimic dug through
the dirt. When you reach the top ledge, recombine and head through the goal.
Stage 5-8
---------
As soon as you start, split into smaller Docos, then form a small stack so
you can jump onto the first crumbling ledge. Jump up the ledges to reach the
upper area, then recombine as you pass under the bird. Go right and climb the
ladder to reach a treasure box (T1) which contains another small Doco for
you. You will see the usual grid of yellow outlines in this area, but there
are three signs with different patterns this time. The arrows in the
patterns, which I will show below, determine which passage will open, so keep
that in mind when progressing:
Up: O O X O O Down: O O X O O Right: O O X O O
O X X X O O O X O O O O O X O
X O X O X X O X O X X X X X X
O O X O O O X X X O O O O X O
O O X O O O O X O O O O X O O
Let's start by taking the downward path, so form the pattern and drop
downward through the opening. Ride the moving platform downward and you will
find two more platforms. The one to the right will lead to four coins (4) and
a treasure box (T2), so take that one first. Then, go back and take the
platform that leads to the left. Drop off at the far left side, then throw a
small Doco upward at the rebounding walls to hit the wall switch, clearing
the purple barrier later in the stage. Ride the moving platforms back upward
and form a small stack by the sign to get out of this area, leaving you back
where the pattern grid is.
Next, take the upper path, so rearrange the pattern to make the upward
pointing arrow. Ride the moving platform upward and make a stack on the upper
ledge, then jump to the right ledge. Go up the ladders and open the next
treasure box (T3) on the left side, then head right along the upper path.
Wait for the bird to move, then fill the two yellow outlines and dash across
them to make it past the first slope safely.
Drag the two Docos in the yellow outlines back to you (do NOT recombine fully
or alter the pattern below, or you will be trapped!), and dig through the
leftmost patch of dirt below you. Go right as the spiders move upward; you
can pause between spider tracks if needed). When you reach the ladder, drag a
small Doco and drop it onto the red switch to the right, removing the red
barrier in the area ahead.
Climb the ladder to the top and roll down the slope, collecting five coins
(9) on the way down. Jump over the hole you dug through and go down the next
slope, then drop down to the pattern grid and recombine. Now, form the third
pattern to open the way to the right area. Head into that area and fill the
three yellow outlines so that the eggs don't fall on you as you collect the
three coins (12). Move to the left slightly and recombine, then drop a small
Doco on the green switch. With that done, recombine and drop into the opening
below.
Collect six coins (18) as you fall to the two ledges below, then form a stack
of four Docos along the right wall. Climb atop the stack and push the block </pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
to the far right, and you will see some dirt below. Dig through the first
three patches on the left, and the top patch on the right ONLY, then collect
the four coins (22). After that, jump back out and head back to the left
area. Recombine and go down to the next ledge, and collect the final six
coins (28) in an alcove to the left.
From here, continue downward to the bottom area, where you will find the last
treasure box (T4). If you haven't done so already, recombine, then push the
block as far to the right as possible. Once that's done, jump over the block
and continue to the very end of the stage and this world. You may have
thought the game was over, but now you will go on to a newly revealed area!
=======================
Area 6: Daughter's Town
=======================
Stage 6-1
---------
Starting off, grab the first coin (1) and wait for the spider to move before
you fill the yellow outline and jump onto the upper platform. Go across and
fill the two holes in the ground, then collect another coin (2) and recombine
to fall below. Defeat the bird to the left and open the first treasure box
(T1), then recombine and ride the sinking platform downward. Split into
smaller Docos so you can enter the right alcove and grab the six coins (8) in
there.
Next, pull the Docos off the sinking platform so it will rise, allowing you
to drop underneath it. Recombine when you land, and climb down the ladder to
reach another treasure box (T2) in the corner. Climb back up and ride the
moving platform to the right, then hop across the balanced platforms to grab
the four coins (12) above it. After that, weigh down the right balance by
placing a stack of three small Docos atop it. Drop below the balances and put
another small Doco on the red switch ahead.
Jump back to the ledge above the balances and push the block forward, causing
you to drop in front of the warp stump. Send a small Doco through it, then
drop down to the area below and move that Doco onto the green switch. Head
right through the opening and recombine, and you will run into a ghost. Split
and recombine to make it vanish, then climb the ladder. Form a stack of five
Docos on the right sinking platform, then dash and jump onto it. Repeat this
to weigh down the other platform, collecting a grand total of seven coins
(19) here.
Up above, kill the bird, then recombine and continue to the left. When you
reach the ladder, drag a smaller Doco upward and across the spikes, and drop
it on the sinking platform to the left. Then, slide it onto the purple
switch, making a platform appear above the spikes. Before you climb up
yourself, drag every single small Doco you have onto that platform, stacking
a few of them in the middle gap area. When you are in small form, climb up
the ladder and collect six coins (25) on that platform. Climb atop the stack
so you are between the two blocks, and drag the other Docos back to you until
you become larger again (do NOT recombine or you will fall into the spikes).
Then, push the block to the left.
Jump to the upper ledge and open the treasure box (T3), then place a small
Doco on the orange switch. Drop back down to the stack and push the other
block to the right, and jump through the right opening. On the upper ledge,
recombine and split again to get through the low passage ahead. At the other
end, place a small Doco on the purple switch, then send another Doco through
the series of warp stumps above. When it gets to the green switch, press it
to clear the final barrier. Walk just to the right of that barrier, then
recombine and continue to the goal.
Stage 6-2
---------
From the start, go up the ladder and push the block until you can climb down
the next ladder. Then, send a small Doco through the warp stump and then onto
the green switch. Push the block further and form a stack atop the green
switch so you can keep moving. Climb the ladder above to grab two coins (2),
then when you fall into the next room, put a small Doco on the orange switch.
Form a tall stack and climb it so you can reach four more coins (6), then
drop down from the other side.
Climb the ladder ahead and throw a small Doco at the ceiling switch by the
bell statue. Retrieve it, then go into the right alcove and push the block
over the spikes. Send a small Doco through the first warp stump, then watch
the moving platform in the enclosed area above. When it moves to the right,
send the Doco through the next stump so it lands on that platform. There are
two switches in that area; first drop the Doco on the red switch. Block the
spiders on the left side by filling the yellow outlines, then climb the
ladder to the top area. Once there, form a stack so you can reach the two
coins (8) above.
Below, fill the two yellow outlines, then split into smaller Docos and head
left through the tunnel. When you reach the first block, don't push it just
yet. Form a stack to the left and Get next to the lower block and recombine,
then push the block to the right until you can jump into the above opening.
Form a stack and climb up to the upper ledge, then push the second block to
the left. Go up and open the treasure box (T1), then head all the way right
and down to a small alcove. Split into smaller Docos so you can grab the six
coins (14) disguised as three to the right, then make another stack to get
back to the above ledges. Get to the left side of the lower block and push it
to the right (recombine first), then split up and go down to get three more
coins (17).
Now, go back through the tunnel to get back outside of this maze. Go back
down and send another Doco through the warp stumps and onto the moving
platform, and place that Doco on the orange switch this time. With the orange
barrier cleared, climb the ladder and go right to reach a treasure box (T2).
Kill the bird when it comes near, then recombine and form a small stack to
reach two coins (19) overhead.
Wait for the moving platform to come, then jump from it to the first narrow
ledge to the right. Hop across the ledges to reach the third treasure box
(T3) at the end, then recombine and drop down to the bell statue below. Go
left and hop over the balanced platforms to grab two coins (21). Stand on the
right side to get two more coins (23), then drop below it to get the final
two (25). Ahead, ride the sinking platform downward and stand in the left
alcove, then drop below the platform to progress further.
Split into smaller Docos to pass under the wall, then go right and send some
through the warp stump. When they land on the first sinking platform, drag
one onto the purple switch and the rest onto the second sinking platform.
When the first one rises up, jump onto the ledge no longer blocked by a
purple block, and go right across the platform. When you reach the opening at
the end, recombine, then go right through the goal.
Stage 6-3
---------
From the start, first climb down the ladders to grab two coins (2) below.
Then, climb back up and go down the slopes. When you land, push the block all
the way to the left, then go right and throw a Doco at the rebounding walls
to hit the target above. Retrieve the Doco, then climb up the ladders and go
back down the first slope. When you land on the new ledge, push the second
block to the right and collect three coins (5) at the other side.
To the right is a tall ladder; first go down it and you will see a low
passage lined with spikes. Drag a Doco through the passage carefully, then
wait for the moving platform above to move to the right, and send the Doco
through the warp stump. When it rides the platform to the left, drag it onto
the red switch. Recombine and climb the ladder now, then go right and open a
treasure box (T1). Get to the side and trap one of the spiders below, then
jump from the filled in yellow outline to reach the upper area.
Above, you will see a grid of yellow outlines, and barriers on both sides of
the room. There are two signs which reveal patterns for going into each area.
Those patterns are as follows:
Left: X O O X Right: O X X O
O X X O X O O X
O X X O X O O X
X O O X O X X O
First you will want to take the left path, so make that pattern to open the
way. Head left into the new area and recombine, then you will see a mimic
ahead. Fill in the yellow outlines on the left side and the above area, and
lead the mimic to jump up the ledges and eventually by the sign in the upper
corner. When the mimic is there, throw a Doco at the target to trap it. Then,
recombine and climb up the ladders.
In the area above, climb the fence to the top area, then kill the bird flying
around. Go right to reach two more coins (7), then drop down by the bell
statue. Split up and go into the right room, where you will have to deal with
another mimic. Climb the first ladder and when you get to the top, move left
until the mimic falls below. At that point, recombine and go right to reach
the treasure box (T2). Go left while above so the mimic goes right, then
climb down and split up to exit via the left opening. Go past the statue and
climb down the fence, then dig through the dirt to the grid below.
This time, make the second pattern to open the way to the right. Split into
smaller Docos and walk/jump your way to the right while avoiding the spider
and collecting five coins (12). At the far end, climb down the fence and
collect another couple of coins (14) while avoiding the spikes below. At the
end of the path, drop down and dig through to the next section. Split up and
go right, and jump between the first two blocks. Recombine and push the right
block all the way to the right. Drop down and split up, then go all the way
down and right to reach two coins (16).
Jump out of this alcove and head back to the upper area, then go left and
push the very first block to the right (recombine first of course). Drop down
and open the treasure box (T3), then push the next block below to the right
and grab the four coins (20) under it. Form two separate stacks to get
entirely out of this area, then split into smaller Docos to pass under the
left wall. Recombine and climb down the ladders to reach the balances. Form a
stack on one of the platforms, then split up and drop into the area below to
reach the final treasure box (T4). Jump back out and recombine, then go right
to the goal.
Stage 6-4
---------
Starting off, go up the ladder and climb onto the fence. Split into smaller
Docos and head right, following the spider so you don't hit it. Go all the
way right and up to reach six coins (6), then go back to the spider and climb
directly upward to the next section. Recombine and climb the ladder to reach
a set of balances. Form a stack on the right balance, then split into smaller
Docos and drop below them to reach four more coins (10). Then, jump back onto
the balance and go through the opening ahead.
Climb the ladder upward first, then go left through a long tunnel, collecting
13 coins (23). At the end of the path, block the enemies below the yellow
outlines by filling them in, then go across to the treasure box (T1). Go back
out of this passage and recombine, then climb down the ladder until you reach
the opening on the right side. Open the treasure box (T2) there, then drag a
small Doco on the ledge above. Climb the ladder upward and drag that Doco
onto higher ledges while avoiding the spikes, then place it on the purple
switch to open the way below.
Recombine and climb to the very bottom of the ladder, then kill the bird
there. Jump to collect four coins (27) and continue left onto a fence. Climb
onto it and the mimic will follow; climb all the way upward so the mimic is
at the same position as you, then head downward. Go down the fence and then
onto the side ledge, and the mimic will trigger the orange switch on its
side. With that done, climb back up and go right, then down the new opening.
Split into smaller Docos and dig your way to the lower-right opening,
collecting two coins (29) on the way, then climb the ladder. Go left and dig
through the remaining parts to reach a coin (30) and the treasure box (T3).
Drop down to the area below and climb the ladder, then continue to the right.
Dig through the first patch and then move right and dig through the second
column until you fall through. Go up the ladders and stop on the first alcove
on the left, and dig through the two patches there. Get back out and head
onto the second ledge above. Dig through to the block, then recombine and
push it to the right so you can reach three coins (33) below. Dig to the
ground and go right, then climb the ladders all the way up this time.
At the top of the area, jump onto the green switch above. Then, go through
the alcove below that has opened to reach six coins (39) and a treasure box
(T4). Go back out and jump to the ledges above, and climb up the next ladder.
Go right to reach two sinking platforms. Form a stack on the right one, then
split into smaller Docos and drop below them to grab the final three coins
(42). Send a small Doco through the warp stump, then jump back onto the
platform above and lead the Doco onto the far right platform. With it weighed
down, go across onto it and recombine. Jump to the above ledge and open the
final treasure box (T5).
For the last part, drop a single small Doco in the gap on the right side of
the area. It will fill the yellow outline below, so you can drop down safely.
Split into smaller Docos to get through the narrow passage, then recombine
and you will be at the goal.
Stage 6-5
---------
From the start, collect two coins (2) in front of you. Fill the yellow
outlines above with small Docos, then jump up the new ledges to the top.
Split into smaller Docos and jump onto the thin ledges to collect another
four coins (6), then go left and up the steps. Drop a small Doco on the
purple switch, then jump through the opening above. Get to the left side and
form a stack so you can reach the two coins (8) in the thin alcove. You will
see a grid above with colored blocks surrounding it. Make the following
pattern in it to open the way forward:
O X O
X X X
O X O
Once you do that, the right wall will vanish, so make your way over there to
proceed. Once you get to the right ledge, move the Docos in the grid to the
following pattern:
X O X
O X O
X O X
That will make a path appear above the spikes, so you can safely cross. Grab
the two coins (10) and jump to the upper ledge before recombining. Head right
to the bell statue and drop to the area below, where you split into smaller
Docos before heading right. Grab three coins (13) and jump to lure the mimic
onto the ledge surrounded by yellow outlines. Block it in by recombining and
filling those yellow outlines, then form a stack to get to the right ledge.
Hit the orange switch and split into smaller Docos to fit in the upper-left
area, then jump to the upper section.
Up there, recombine and fill the yellow outlines above, then jump onto them.
Carefully throw a small Doco at the rebounding wall above between the spikes
so it hits the left wall switch. Pull that Doco back, then recombine and head
left below. Split into smaller Docos and trigger the egg enemy to fall, then
as it retreats upward, dash across the thin ledges. At the other side,
recombine and open the treasure box (T1). Hit the orange switch and avoid the
egg enemies, and form a stack in the middle area so you can reach four coins
(20) above.
Head right slightly and climb the ladder, then throw a Doco to kill the bird.
Form a small stack and jump from it to reach the left ledge where you will
find another treasure box (T2). Head right and collect three coins (23), then
kill another bird ahead. Drop down the gap at the end and head left to find
some dirt. Dig through and you will be back by the bell statue. This time,
head left and form a stack of four Docos to the right of the block above.
Split into smaller Docos and climb up, then dash across to the left side of
the wall.
Recombine and throw a Doco to hit the wall switch, and drop to the area
below. While standing there, drag another small Doco through the passage you
just came from, and place it on the orange switch so you can drop downward.
Recombine and head left to reach the third treasure box (T3), then ride the
sinking platform downward. Split into smaller Docos and enter the small
alcove, and move the Docos so the platform will rise up. Drop under the
platform and recombine, then ride the second sinking platform downward and
continue to the right.
Send a small Doco through the warp stump ahead, then drag the Doco upward and
drop it on the purple switch above. Now, climb down the ladder and head right
to the next area. Split up once more and jump onto the moving platform to
ride it upward. At the top, collect the last four coins (27) and open the
final treasure box (T4), then recombine. Dig through to the right, then when
you land, dig again. Once you reach the very bottom, head right to the goal.
Stage 6-6
---------
Starting off, go right to the last two ladders. Wait for the spider to move
upward before climbing the ladders and grabbing two coins (2) above. Go back
down and left, and climb the first ladder to the top. Head right across the
sinking platform, and ride the moving one downward. At its low point, split
into smaller Docos and head left/down past the spider. Collect four coins (6)
while evading the spider, then go left and form a stack to get back up to the
moving platform. Get onto it and pass through the hole in the right wall,
then recombine.
From here, climb the ladders and go left until you reach the spikes. You will
see an orange switch above; drop a small Doco onto it and a platform will
appear covering the spikes. Form a stack next to the two ladders, then form
another stack atop the new platform so you can reach the four coins (10) and
the first treasure box (T1) on the ledge. Go back down and recombine, then
climb the ladders and push the first block to the right. Form a small stack
in the opening and stand on it to push the upper block ahead. Only push it
until you can get into the opening above it, then split into smaller Docos
and jump through the narrow passage.
Make your way upward through the narrow passages ahead, then recombine at the
opening. Form a stack to push the leftmost block to the left, then jump to
grab the coin (11). Split into smaller Docos and go into the rightmost
alcove, then recombine and push the second block slightly to the right. It
must be directly next to the ladder, but not overlapping it or you will get
stuck. Once you do that, grab the second coin (12). From there, jump to the
upper ledge and push the third block left so you can grab the next coin (13).
Then, go right and down into an alcove (split into small Docos first) and
collect four more coins (17).
After that, climb the ladder to the very top. Kill the bird to the left, then
continue all the way left while grabbing nine coins (26). On the way back,
fill the far right yellow outline so you can get back to the upper ledge. On
the right side now, trigger the ghost to disappear (drop and recombine with a
small Doco). Fill the yellow outlines so you can grab the five coins (31)
above, then split into smaller Docos to reach the treasure box (T2) in the
far right corner.
Now, go back to the ladder and drop to the bottom. Split into smaller Docos
and head left through the passage above the first block so you can reach the
opening below. Once you reach the orange ledges with the three blocks, drop
into the lower-right area and recombine to push the last block to the right
until you can jump into the gap above it. At that point, stop and split into
small Docos to jump into the above area. When you reach the next block,
recombine and push it until you fall. Then, drag a small Doco onto the purple
switch to clear the barrier nearby.
Next, split into smaller Docos and jump around so you end up on the left side
of the second block. Form a stack of two small Docos, drag other Docos back
until you become larger, and push the middle block to the right until you
fall. Open the treasure box (T3), then jump out and go left into the gap
directly adjacent to where you just came from. Split into small Docos and get
next to the first block, then recombine and push it ahead until you fall
below.
Down in the next area, you will have to deal with balanced platforms. Sink on
the right one and then drop onto the ladder. Go right and form a stack to
reach the higher ledge, then you will see a lot of blocks above. Throw small
Docos through the blocks to clear them; the trick is to throw diagonally so
you can hop up the small ledges that form. Collect a total of six coins (37),
as well as the next treasure box (T4) in this area, retrieve any
thrown/stunned Docos, and head back to the ladder below.
Climb down to the bottom area and touch the ground to trigger the porcupine
to run out. Jump to the ledge above it, then fill the left yellow outline to
trap it. Split up and first head across the crumbling platforms to the left
to grab three coins (40), then go into the lower-right passage to get the
last two coins (42). Recombine and take the upper path to reach a moving
platform. Ride it upward and drop into the left area. Wait for the spider to
move upward before going for the treasure box (T5). When the spider moves up
again, form a stack to get out, then head all the way right across the moving
platform. Recombine and drop down the final gap to reach the goal.
Stage 6-7
---------
Begin by rolling down the slope and breaking through the crumbling ledges. As
soon as you land, go left to reach the first treasure box (T1). Go up the
right ladder and hop onto the left ledge, where you will be surrounded by
rebounding walls. Throw a Doco directly upward to hit the ceiling switch,
then retrieve it and head right through the opening. Stand on the sinking
platform and look to the right before getting off. There is a small opening
above and another sinking platform to the right; drag some Docos through the
opening and drop them onto that platform to weigh it down.
After that, split into smaller Docos yourself and go into the right alcove to
get three coins (3). Move enough Docos off the first platform so it rises,
then drop below it and head down and right to the second platform. Jump onto
it and recombine, then form a tall stack along the right wall. Climb up it
and get to the right side of the block above, then recombine and push the
block to the left. With that done, jump into the area above and go right to
fall through some crumbling platforms.
When you land on the safe ledge below, split into smaller Docos and jump onto
the bottom row of crumbling platforms so you can reach two coins (5). Head
all the way right and recombine when you reach the green blocks, and grab
three more coins (8). Throw a Doco at the rebounding walls above so it hits
the green target. Retrieve that Doco and drop down, then push the block ahead
to reveal an opening above. Form a stack so you can reach the ladder, then
make your way up it. Trap the spiders when they move left by filling in the
yellow outlines if you want, then continue to the top.
Before you climb off the ladder, split into smaller Docos. At the top, go
left and stand between the two blocks of spikes in the air. Throw a Doco
straight up at a ceiling switch to make a platform appear. Go right to the
ladder and recombine before climbing up. Go across this new platform and grab
six coins (14), then head all the way left past the spider to reach a single
coin (15). Place a small Doco on the purple switch above, then drop down to
open a treasure box (T2) and collect four more coins (19). Climb down the
ladders below and recombine before continuing to the left.
When you reach the warp stump, send small Docos through it and they will fall
into the jar above. When the barrier is cleared, drag the released Docos onto
the balanced platforms to weigh it down. Split into smaller Docos and jump
onto it, then head through the left opening. You will see a grid of yellow
outlines ahead. Climb the ladder above and push the block aside to view the
sign, which displays the following pattern:
O O O O O
O O X O O
O X O X O
X O O O X
O O O O O
Go back to the grid and first fill in the blocks so you can reach the five
coins (24) above it. Then, make the proper pattern to unlock the way forward.
Go left through the new opening and recombine before climbing the ladders. At
the bell statue, prepare a roly-poly Doco to throw at the bird above, then
when you see it, kill the bird. Before you continue, go back to the bell
statue and split into smaller Docos. Then, ride on the upper moving platform
ahead while passing under the spider. Jump into the above area to open a
treasure box (T3) and collect four coins (28). Get back onto the moving
platform and head right, then recombine when you jump off onto the solid
ledge.
Up ahead, fill in the yellow outlines so you don't accidentally fall onto the
slopes below. Grab the final six coins (34) above the moving platforms, then
drop some Docos into the mysterious jar. Wait until the platforms and moving
downward before filling it, so that the released Docos don't fall onto the
spikes. After the barrier is cleared, recombine and fill in the right yellow
outlines so you can reach the opening to the right.
From here, head right and ride a sinking platform downward. When it stops,
throw a Doco at the rebounding walls below and to the left so it hits the
hanging target. Drag that Doco back to you, then jump to the upper ledge and
continue out of this stage.
Stage 6-8
---------
In this stage, hop across the first three sinking platforms, grabbing the
three coins (3) above them. At the end, drop down and go right to reach
rebounding walls and blocks above. For this next part, throw small Docos
upward through the blocks, and with luck they will bounce to the other side
and fill in the yellow outlines as well. If they hit the spikes, don't worry,
as a bell statue is just beyond this point. Anyway, make your way through
this block maze and collect four coins (7), then continue to the bell statue
and revive any defeated Docos.
Recombine and go ahead to the right until you are face to face with the
mimic. Grab the three coins (10) and move to the leftmost section of dirt.
Dig straight down to the next level, then go right to meet the mimic again.
This time, go to the third column from the right and dig. That way, the mimic
will fall onto the green switch on its side, opening the way forward for you.
Jump out and dig through the leftmost column, then dash to the left to grab
two coins (12) and open the treasure box (T1).
Split into smaller Docos and go through the tunnel below, and stand on the
sinking platform at the end. Go into the right alcove and collect three coins
(15), then go left and recombine. Trigger each of the egg enemies to fall,
then as they retreat upward, jump to grab the coins next to them. You will
get a total of six coins (21) as you progress in this manner. When you reach
the bell statue, jump to collect four more coins (25).
Ahead, drop onto the first moving platform. When you reach the left alcove,
send a small Doco into the warp stump. Drop onto the second moving platform
and wait for it to move to its highest point. At that point, start dragging
the small Doco on the right side through the spike-lined passage carefully.
When your platform reaches its low point, place the Doco you've been dragging
onto the red switch. Go into the next alcove and drop below the platform when
it rises, then recombine and head right through the new opening.
Head all the way right to trigger a bird to chase you. Head left and when it
comes close, throw a Doco to kill it. Go back to the right and fill the
yellow outlines above to create ledges. As you make your way upward, fill
more of the outlines in and collect a total of six coins (31). At the top, go
right and recombine. Stand on the first sinking platform and drag Docos
through the right passage, and stack them on the far right sinking platform
to weigh it down. Split into smaller Docos and go through the middle
passages, collecting nine coins (40) along the way.
When you reach the bottom ledge, make sure the right sinking platform is
weighed down with the stack, then drop down to the left side. Open the last
treasure box (T2) below, then jump back to the ledge above and go through the
right opening in the wall. Drop to the area below and recombine, and you will
notice a spike-lined passage on the right side.
There is an opening above, so you will need to drag a small Doco through that
treacherous passage to reach a green switch below. Luckily, there is a spot
between two spikes on the lower ledge that you can drop that Doco to rest
while you move to a better position. Use the stage viewer to scroll the
screen down a little so you can see the switch, then drag the Doco around and
down to the right wall, and drop it onto the switch safely.
With that done, go left and stand at the edge of the rebounding walls. Throw
a Doco diagonally downward to kill the bird, then grab the coin above (41)
and drop down. When you land, retrieve the thrown Doco and collect three more
coins (44) before heading to the right. At the far right, recombine and you
will see more rebounding walls and blocks to break through. Unfortunately,
there are more spikes, but there is a bell statue at the end in the likely
event you lose some Docos along the way.
First, you will see a section of two rebounding walls in the ground below.
Stand above them and throw a Doco straight down at them to clear some blocks.
Split into smaller Docos and jump down to reach two coins (45) to the left.
Form a stack of three Docos and throw another one at the solid wall directly
to the right, clearing another passage for you to go into. Recombine and
stand against the piece of solid wall, and throw another small Doco directly
upward to clear the way. Form a stack and climb up it, then throw another
Doco to the left at the L-shaped piece of solid rock. Go into there and throw
one more Doco straight up to clear a way to the ceiling.
Now, split into smaller Docos and jump into the narrow alcove above. Go left
to find three more coins (48). While on this top area, go right and you will
see three columns of blocks. Stand directly above the one with coins in it
and throw a Doco straight down, then drop down to grab the last two coins
(50). On the ground below, recombine and form a small stack in the opening
you created above. Throw a Doco to the right to clear some more blocks, then
recombine and jump over the spikes to exit this block maze finally!
Use the bell statue if you need to revive any of your Docos, otherwise climb
the ladder. At the top, go left and you will see a warp stump above you. Send
two small Docos through it and they will weigh down the balanced platforms
ahead. Jump onto the lowered platform and recombine, then hop across to reach
the right ledge. Climb the final ladder and head right to reunite with
another Docomodake, thus completing the stage and Area 6!
At this point, the credits will roll, so congratulations on completing the
game! However, the game is not over yet, as a new Bonus Area will be unlocked
after the credits end.
==================
Area 7: Bonus Area
==================
Stage 7-1
---------
Starting off, go right and climb up the first set of ladders you come across.
Jump to collect seven coins (7) in the air to the right, then continue right
and jump to grab another seven (14). Then, head all the way left and you will
see a whole bunch of ladders leading upward. Walk to the far left of the
screen, then prepare a roly-poly Doco to throw and climb up the leftmost
ladder. At the top, throw the Doco at the bird to kill it. Fill in the yellow
outlines to form ledges ahead, then jump to collect two coins (16).
You will see two yellow outlines slightly below and left of another pair.
Fill them all and stand on the right edge of the lower ledge, then recombine.
If you did it right, you will fall straight down into an alcove containing a
treasure box (T1). Open it and dig your way out, then go left and back up the
ladders to the top area. Fill the yellow outlines once more, then jump across
them to reach the flat area to the right.
Ahead, you will see a plateau at the very top of the level. Run and jump onto
that ledge, avoiding the small slope on the corner, and collect six coins
(22) as well as the contents of the treasure box (T2). There are two gaps,
one on each side of this plateau, so drop down either of them to get two
coins (24). When you land, drag a small Doco onto the green switch on the
above ledge. Then, go to the opposite side and form a stack so you can reach
the other two coins (26) and drag another small Doco onto the other green
switch.
Next, recombine and you will see two dirt mounds, one on each side. Before
you do anything about it, feed a lot of small Docos into the warp stump; they
will fall into the jar above. Once it is full, it will clear a barrier below.
Now, dig through and you will land on a structure made of blocks. Throw a
Doco straight down and you will fall, collecting a single coin (27) on the
way down. Once you land below, retrieve the stunned Doco, then climb the
ladders and head to the far right side of the stage (you will notice that the
stage is symmetric if you haven't already). Climb up the right side and kill
the bird at the top, then fill the yellow outlines and collect two coins
(29).
Stand on the left edge of the lower ledge formed in the outlines, then
recombine. You will fall straight down, opening a treasure box (T3) as you
land. Dig through to the ladder below, then go back around and up to the top
of this area one last time. Get into the middle structure and dig through the
other dirt mound, and throw a Doco through the blocks when you land so you
can reach the final coin (30). With that done, recombine and drop to the very
bottom of the stage. Then, head right to the goal.
Stage 7-2
---------
From the start, you will see a dirt mound directly below that you can dig
through. Alternately dig downward through the two columns below until you hit
the orange switch. Once you hit it, split into smaller Docos and dig/move
your way to the small room to the right. Hit the green switch in there to
remove the barrier on the right side, then continue digging. Use the stage
viewer to plot your path, then dig/move/stack your way through the area,
collecting a total of 10 coins (10) and opening the first treasure box (T1).
Once you make it to the bottom of the dirt pit, fall through the opening
below and recombine. Head right and jump up onto the purple ledges above,
then go left and jump retrieve two coins (12). In the slope-filled area
above, send small Docos to fill the yellow outlines, then head right and up
the ladder. At the top, if the bird above flies toward you, throw another
small Doco to kill it. Slide down the first set of slopes and collect five
coins (17) in the lower-right section of this maze. Then, jump out to the
left and slide down, and climb back up the ladder.
Before you go down the slope again, make sure the first yellow outline below
is filled, then form a stack atop it. Slide down the slope and climb the
stack to reach a treasure box (T2) and three more coins (20). Go down the
next slope to the left (make sure the yellow outlines are filled in first),
then climb the ladder and recombine above. To the right, you will see two
breakable blocks in the ground. Stand on the right one and throw a Doco
directly downward. You will fall, collecting six coins (26), and the thrown
Doco will fill in the yellow outline, protecting you from the spikes.
Next, drop to the ledge below and recombine. You will be in a room full of
rebounding walls and more blocks to break. Throw Docos through the area to
open up a path through the area, enabling you to reach the last treasure box
(T3) as well as four coins (30) high above. Retrieve any thrown Docos and
make your way to the lower-right corner. Break through the blocks there, then
recombine and drop down to reach the goal.
Stage 7-3
---------
Starting off, climb the first ladder to the top, then drop down to collect
seven coins (7) as you fall. You cannot enter the left alcoves yet, but you
will be back soon. When you land, go right and climb up the next ladder you
see. Make your way to the very top of the area, while collecting eight coins
(15) along the way. At the top, you will see a warp stump to the left, and a
moving platform in the enclosed area to the left. Wait for that moving
platform to move downward, then send a Doco through the warp stump, causing
it to land on that platform.
Start to climb down the ladders that you just came up, and drag the Doco into
the upper-left alcove until the platform moves upward. Then, drag the Doco
under the platform and place it on the green switch on the right side. Go
down to the very bottom area and head to the leftmost ladder again. Climb up
and enter the first alcove, where you will find two coins (17) and a treasure
box (T1).
Next, climb back up the second set of ladders to the right until you see your
small Doco on the green switch. When the first moving platform goes up, drag
the Doco around and place it on the next moving platform below. You will see
two openings below it at this point; drag it through the right opening while
climbing down the ladders yourself, and place it on the third moving platform
below. From there, wait for that platform to move to the right, then move
down and drag the Doco into the left opening, and place it on the next green
switch. Leave it there as you go down and left to the start area again, and
climb to the top alcove. In there, you will find six coins (23) and another
treasure box (T2).
Now, drag the same small Doco off the switch and send it into the warp stump
on the right side. Climb back up the second set of ladders to the top area,
where you will see a red switch. Press it and the Doco that is now there from
the previous warp stump will fall into the mysterious jar below. Now comes
the tedious part: you need to lead two more Docos through the maze of moving
platforms to the left, to the very bottom warp stump. Once three Docos fall
into the jar, the barrier leading to the goal will vanish. As a bonus, at
least one of the Docos will fall in the gap on the right side of the jar,
leading to the final green switch.
Once that switch is hit, climb down to the bottom of the level, and go left
to the start. Climb up and enter the final alcove to retrieve four coins (27)
and the last treasure box (T3). Now that everything here is done, recombine
and climb to the top of the stage once more. Then, head all the way right to
reach the goal.
Stage 7-4
---------
Starting off, send a small Doco through the warp stump ahead, then place it
on the orange switch when it lands below. As for yourself, send another Doco
through the warp stump, then dig through the platform below. Climb down the
ladders and avoid the spiders along the way. On the right side, the second
Doco will be on the balanced platforms; drag it downward and place it on a
sinking platform. When you reach the bottom of the area, form a small stack
to reach the ledge with the treasure box (T1) on it. Above, drag the small
Doco onto the moving platform when it comes to the left side.
For now, push the block all the way to the right while following the moving
platform above. When you reach the right side, drag the small Doco into the
next warp stump. Climb the ladder and jump from the vertically moving
platform to reach the bell statue, then go left and drag the Doco onto the
green switch. Form a stack where you are so you can reach an alcove high
above containing nine coins (9). After that, drop down and drag the small
Doco into the upper warp stump.
From here, go right and ride the moving platform upward to the next ledge.
Jump off and collect four coins (13) as you head left, then fill the yellow
outlines to form ledges on your way upward. Collect an additional three coins
(16), and you will see your small Doco in the area above. Drag it down to the
next warp stump, then place it on the purple switch to the left. Send it back
through the warp stump, and drop it on the red switch in the previous alcove.
With that done, drop down and head right to the next moving platform. Ride it
upward and go right to find more yellow outlines in the air. Fill them with
small Docos and use those newly-formed ledges to reach two more treasure
boxes (T2 and T3), and six coins (22). After that, recombine and drop onto
the moving platform in the gap directly below you. Collect the final six
coins (28), then drop to the area below and climb down the ladders. At the
bottom, go right to exit this stage.
Stage 7-5
---------
In this stage, you will find that the entire thing is a seemingly
straightforward path of rebounding walls completely packed with breakable
blocks in between. There are 40 coins and two treasure boxes to collect as
you make your way through the area. Your only disadvantage is having very few
disposable small Docos to help you, being that you need to dump 11 of them in
the mysterious jar at the start to open up the area.
If you find yourself with only one Doco left, head back to the bell statue to
revive the others. Other than that, try to retrieve any stunned thrown Docos
quickly so you don't have as hard of a time getting through here. A good
method is to throw at steep angles so you can form ledges of sorts through
the area. There is no way to release the other Docos from the jar, but it
appears you don't need to have all of them with you when you reach the goal,
so as long as you collect all of the coins/treasure boxes, you'll be fine.
Stage 7-6
---------
Starting off, split into smaller Docos and jump through the right opening in
the wall. Avoid the switch below for now and jump onto the green platform to
collect four coins (4). Go back and hit the switch, then dash across the
series of small ledges to reach the next area. Open the treasure box (T1)
below, then jump into the middle area to get four coins (8). Open another
treasure box (T2), then go left and drop down to grab a single coin (9). From
here, dash back to the left and jump through the left opening to reach the
first ladder again.
Recombine and climb up the tall ladder to reach the top of the area. Kill the
bird up there and go right to reach another treasure box (T3), then go left
and split into smaller Docos. Climb down the small ladder and dash to the
right, grabbing another coin (10) on the way. When you reach the spider
track, wait for the spider to move to the right before collecting the coin
(11) in the middle area. You will see two ladders below; climb down either
one and drop into the middle opening below to find another coin (12).
After the egg enemies fall, jump back to the above ledge and go left. Drop
onto the thin ledge and dash nonstop to the left, collecting yet another coin
(13) on the way. Dash back to the next area, stopping on the thin ledge
before the two egg enemies. Jump your way back to the room above, where the
spider is located. Head into the next room to the right and grab another coin
(14) while avoiding the spider, then recombine before progressing further.
When you jump to the upper ledge ahead, be prepared for the bird to swoop
down from above, and kill it if it does so.
Anyway, continue to the right and ride the sinking platform downward to grab
three coins (17). Jump off the platform for now and climb down the ladder to
reach the lower section. Split into smaller Docos to trigger the ghost in the
left area, then recombine to make it disappear. Now, split up again and move
left to the warp stump. Send two small Docos through to fill in the two lower
yellow outlines. Lead the mimic across to the right side, then drag one Doco
to fill the lower yellow outline above. Get the mimic to jump onto it, then
fill in the other one and repeat, leading it onto the purple switch to the
left.
With the switch pressed, go back out of this passage and recombine. Now,
climb the ladder and split up to fit through the very first right opening. Go
down and recombine, and push the first block to the left. Split up again and
collect two coins (19) below, then go back out and climb up the ladder to the
second opening. Go through to the lower sinking platform and recombine, then
form a small stack to keep it weighed down. Split into smaller Docos and go
right and down until you are on the right side of the second block below.
Recombine and push it to the left, then split once more and drop down to grab
the two coins (21).
Jump out of this passage and climb the two small ladders, then go right a
short bit. Trigger the cone enemy to shoot upward, then fill the yellow
outline under it. Also, fill the second outline to stop the egg enemy above.
Now, go across and down into another alcove where you will find three coins
(24). Go back out and move to the left of the enemies, and recombine. This
time, trap both enemies underneath the yellow outlines so you can dash across
above them. Once you make it across, climb another ladder and you will be
standing by a signpost.
Next, go left and you will see a porcupine above. Recombine, then quickly
climb the ladder and dash to the left to avoid it. Collect 15 coins (39) and
open the treasure box (T4) at the far end. Return to the right and avoid the
porcupine again, then drop a small Doco on the purple switch and climb back
down. Head right and drop through the small opening against the right wall.
Grab the six coins (45) as you fall, then recombine upon landing and go right
to the goal.
Stage 7-7
---------
This stage presents another extremely straightforward solution, as long as
you are observant and accurate with your throwing abilities. On the ground,
you will see four colored pads, and four matching ones on the rebounding
walls above. The trick here is simple: you must stand exactly on a certain
color pad, and throw a small Doco directly at that same color on the wall.
The purple, yellow, and red pads each lead to one of the three mysterious
jars to the right. If your Doco makes it to them, you will hear the
congratulatory sound effect, or the sound of one of the yellow outlines
catching it.
As for the green pads, they will lead to a green switch high above in the
upper-left corner of the stage. Hit it and the Doco will fall back down,
stunned. After you send Docos into each of the three jars, and hit that green
switch (use the stage viewer to see if you did), recombine and head all the
way to the right. You will see an opening in the ceiling and tons of coins
above, so form a stack and jump onto the first ledge. From there you can jump
to the other ledges and collect a total of 50 coins, and open the three
treasure boxes. Once you are done here, drop to the bottom area and
recombine, then head onward to the goal.
Stage 7-8
---------
Starting off, make your way downward by rolling down the slopes and
collecting nine coins (9) along the way. At the bottom, fall through the
crumbling ledges and land on the left ledge. There, grab two coins (11) and
hit the green switch to open the left room. Drop down and head left, then
form a stack to reach the high ledge. Tag the fellow Docomodake and open the
treasure box (T1); also take note of the pattern on the sign below:
O O X O O
O X O X O
X O O O X
O X O X O
O O X O O
From here, continue to the right and you will see two ladders. Recombine and
climb up the right ladder, and push the block to the left until you reach the
next ladder. Split into smaller Docos and climb the ladder, stopping to enter
the right alcove. Collect two coins (13) and hit the orange switch above,
then go back out of this alcove and recombine. Push the block below to the
far left, and open the next treasure box (T2) and tag the Docomodake.
For the next part, climb the right ladder to reach the area above. Go left
and climb the double ladders to the next ledge to the right. Stop there and
drop five smaller Docos into the mysterious jar until the barrier above
disappears. Recombine and climb to the next ledge, where you will find a
treasure box (T3) and the next Docomodake to tag. Continue climbing the
ladder to the top area and kill the bird when it flies to the left side.
Collect two coins (15) at the edge, then fill the yellow outlines ahead so
you can jump across the gap.
At the other side of the gap, grab three coins (18), then send a total of
eight small Docos through the warp stump. They will emerge in the room below
where the yellow outline grid is located. Use them to make the above pattern,
which will clear a barrier in the area below. Head back to the left and drag
the Docos used for the ledges back to you, then drop into the gap. You will
slide down some slopes and collect three coins (21) as you fall. Once you
land, go up the ladders and drop into the room ahead to find the treasure box
(T4), then tag the next Docomodake. Form a small stack so you can jump out of
here, and climb down the ladder before recombining.
Climb down the right ladder to the bottom area, and head left a short bit. </pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
You will see a spike-lined passage above with a red switch at the end of it.
Drag a small Doco carefully through the passage and place it on the switch to
make an opening appear in the ground below. Drop through and head left, then
split into smaller Docos to go through the path. At the end, fill the yellow
outlines above the spikes, and drop down to the left of them. Recombine and
push the block until you are able to jump over it in small form. At that
point, split up and jump over the block.
Once you get past the block, collect two coins (23) and recombine. Drop to
the area below and place a small Doco on the green switch on the ledge. Fall
into the opening and tag your next Docomodake friend, and open the next
treasure box (T5) as well. Split into smaller Docos and get onto the ledge
where the switch it, and continue to the right on that platform. Recombine
and push the next block ahead until you fall, then collect six coins (29) in
the room below.
Form a stack of three Docos and stand atop it to push the block onward some
more. When you fall into the lower section, go right and you will find
another block. Push it so that it lines up with the ledge directly above it,
then jump onto the above ledge and grab four coins (33). Drop through the
opening at the other side and continue onward, split into smaller Docos, and
you will come to yet another block. Recombine and push it so you can access
the hole in the ceiling, then jump into that area.
On the upper ledge, collect four coins (37), then go right to find some
rebounding walls above. Throw a small Doco so it hits the wall switch, then
retrieve that Doco and drop back down to the bottom area. Push the block all
the way to the right, and then split up so you can fit through the narrow
passage ahead. At the other end, drop below the moving platforms and collect
two coins (39), then form a stack to get back into the left alcove. When the
platforms come back down, ride them upward and jump to the right ledge.
From here, climb up the ladders to the top of the area. Collect the final six
coins (45) up there, then recombine and fill in the yellow outlines to make a
ledge. When the moving platform comes within range, jump aboard and ride it
upward. There are two ledges above; first stop on the lower one, where you
will find the last Docomodake as well as the last treasure box (T6). When the
platform comes back, ride it to the top and recombine, then meet with your
girlfriend to complete the stage/world!
With that, the game is now 100% complete. Congratulations!
