Intro

Hi. I have been waiting to do a guide for a while now but every game already
has loads but this one has hardly any so I decided to make a guide for this
excellent puzzle game.

-----------
Story
-----------
Well, to cut a long story short, Mrs Mole and her seven children are
kidnapped by an evil farmer named Jinbe. When Mr Mole returns he finds a
note and with the help from grandpa mole he decides to go save his children
and his wife.
Simple, really.

D1 - The first room. Nothing much here. Read the signs if you want but
    otherwise, leave to the north.

    head all the way to the right. Dig again and move down 2 before
    returning to the surface. Move to the right and dig again. Move all the
    way up and pop out before leaving to the north.

A1 - Head to the left and push the ball into the hole. Push the ball on the
    next row and push it till it is under the stump that is on it's own.
    Head to the next black ball and pull it until it is above the same
    stump. Push the lower ball left and head to the top of the screen. Push
    the ball all the way to the right before grabbing it and throwing it
    over yourselves. Leave to the East.

A2 - Walk right and push the ball into the hole. Keep going and push the next
    ball into the next hole. Read the sign if you want before pushing the
    ball to block the enemy. Push the next ball when the enemy is below it
    to trap it and then leave to the south.

B2 - Grab the ball and throw it at the enemy and repeat this on the next row.
    Move to the next row and pop out when the enemy is on the other side
    before throwing the ball over you, killing it. Repeat this on the next
    row and then leave to the south.

C2 - Pull out the ball and then push it into the block of concrete called an
    exit block. Head over to the ball while avoiding the enemies. You can
    the neither kill the enemies then the block or just the block. Read the
    signs if you want to before leaving south.

D2 - This is a safe room. No enemies just Grandpa with a cart. Talk to him to
    recover all your life before leaving to the East.

D3 - Throw the ball into the enemy. Dig a hole where you can and move 1
    right and 1 down. Pop out and throw the ball over yourself killing the
    enemy. Throw or push the cabbages into holes and throw the ball at the
    exit. Dig under on the middle row and grab the map. Leave to the East.

D4 - Use the cabbage to kill the enemy and dig a hole at the centre of the T
    junction. Put the cabbage in and use the hole to get to the corner of the
    room. Kill the enemy with the cabbage and then throw it in a hole. Kill
    the next enemy with the next cabbage and then pop it in a hole. Go down
    the hole in front of the sign and grab the locator. Use the ball on the
    exit and leave north.

C4 - Throw the ball up when you can get both enemies. Dig a hole along the
    row with the heart and cabbage. Throw the cabbage in and grab the heart.
    Throw the ball back over and then pull it up in line with the exit.
    Throw the cabbage at the top in the hole on its row and dig under the
    ball and pop up next to it. Throw the ball over to the exit. Leave West.

C3 - Pull the ball up 1 and use it to kill the enemy. Use the hole above to go
    under and then grab the potion. Move down 1 and pop up. Put all the
    cabbages in the holes and then head to the bottom hole and throw the ball
    over the hole and kill the enemy. Go over to the top hole using the
    lookout move (B button) to make sure you dodge the enemy. Pull the ball
    over and smash the exit. Leave north.

B3 - Use the cabbages to kill the enemies and then put them all in the bottom
    hole. Move the ball near the exit and push the ball into the exit. Leave
    north.

A3 - Throw the cabbage into the hole and leave south.

B3 - Dig under the north-east section and collect the give-up icon. Head to
    the bottom hole near the exit and take it up.

A3 - Dig up and throw the ball into the exit. Then take the bonus round
    challenge. Leave South.

B3 - Leave east.

B4 - Dig holes in line with the cabbages and throw them in while getting the
    lizards that are walking past. Use the balls to destroy the exits before
    leaving north.

A4 BOSS - Kangaroon
  As soon as the battle begins head over to the holes and push the spike
  aside and go under to dodge the apples. When he's done, get out and move
  spike near him. When he jumps high move the spike to the spot he is going
  to land on. After he gets hit, jump back under a hole. Do this two more
  times to beat him.

  After he is dead, run into the big cabbage to get back one of your children.
