_________________________________________
Stage 1
_________________________________________
Start off by killing the two sunflowers and picking up the cherries. Jump up
the hill for a set of bananas. Keep going right and kill another sunflower. Now
you will see some fish jump out of water. You can stand on the edge of the
platform and kill them while they're jumping before you try to jump the gap.
Kill a few fish and let the bouncing enemy just bounce down the hole. Grab the
next set of bananas and kill a bat and sunflower up here.
You will soon reach a pond that is too big to jump over. Keep tapping B until
you spin and you notice time stops. Now hit A to select your flower ability and
a flower will appear in the water. Jump on it, kill the fish, and cross the
pond. Continue right while killing a few more of the common enemies you have
come across so far. You'll come across a bigger pond. Make another flower and
jump on it to cross.
Continue to the right while fighting off the same few enemies and you will
enter a dark forest. This really is more of the same with a different
background but be mindful of the bats. They will blend in with the darkness but
you can see their eyes. Keep going while collecting all the fruit you see and
you will run into the first boss of the game.
The tree stump is pretty easy. It won't jump, it just moves left and right. It
will slowly move closer and closer to you so you may have to jump over it if it
gets too close. Every few seconds it will spit leaves at you, you want to avoid
those. You just have to hit it five times and it will die.
_________________________________________
Stage 2
_________________________________________
Wait where you start and kill the jumping enemy when it comes close to you.
Jump up the platforms and avoid the rock that bounces towards you. Move a
little further and a rock will bounce from the left. Stand on the second lower
platform from here and it will bounce right over you. Kill the bouncing enemy
ahead of you and continue to the right. Keep going right and cross a wooden
bridge while another stone comes from the left and a bouncing enemy comes from
the right.
Keep going right while collecting the fruit and avoiding the bouncing enemy and
hyena. The hyena is just like the bouncing enemy but will jump further per
bounce. Continue right until you reach the next wooden bridge. This bridge will
break when you're about 3/4 of the way across. Just jump when you're about 3/4
of the way across and you will easily clear it.
Once you reach the next wooden bridge, you will see a rock bounce at you from
the right. When you get close to the end of this wooden bridge, it will break
again. Jump near the end before you fall to your death. When you reach a high
wall, you can use a water jet. Just stand on the far right water jet spout and
wait for it to shoot up. Jump up to the higher platform from there and continue
to the right while killing a couple more bouncing enemies until you reach the
cave for the next area of this stage.
Kill the skeleton to the right. You have to hit it once and its head will fly
off. The head will then fly back towards you, which will take one more hit to
kill. You will also have to hit the skeleton's body one more time. If the skull
passes you to the left, it will turn around and go back towards you. You want
to make sure to kill the skull as early as you can. Kill the next skeleton when
it's on the far left of the next bridge. Once it's dead, go to the right to
leave the cave.
This plant is pretty tough. It won't jump, it just moves left and right. It
does move pretty slowly though. The only time you can damage it is when it
stops moving. When it stops moving, it will also shoot a spore. It will float
around the screen randomly at first and then target you. You can jump over it
which will give you an opportunity to get away if it corners you. It's actually
a good strategy to jump over it pretty often, just be mindful of the spores
that will float towards you. Hit this boss five times and it will die. Go to
the right after you kill the boss to complete this stage.
_________________________________________
Stage 3
_________________________________________
Kill the first enemy and jump a couple platforms to the right. Kill another
dragon and enter the cave. Go to the right and into the small holes. A large
boulder will roll towards you. Crouch in those holes or it will it hit. Once it
is safe, continue to the right. You will have to do this twice to hide in
safety. The path will split at the next waterfall. Jump along the higher
platforms. When you get close to the end of the wooden bridge, it will break.
Jump to the right end of the bridge. Now drop down to the right to the next
platform and jump to the big boulder blocking your way to the right.
Stand right next to the boulder and use the earthquake ability you just
unlocked at the beginning of this stage. It will break the boulder apart,
allowing you to pass. Continue to the right and you'll see three spouts for
water jets. Stand on the right most spout and activate it. Wait for this spout
to launch you into the air and jump to the platform above. Leave the cave by
going to the right.
Head to the right and kill the enemy on the ground. There will also be bats in
this area so watch for their eyes floating around because the rest of them will
blend in with the background. You will soon see a volcano in the background.
When the screen shakes, the volcano will erupt. Watch out for some debri
falling from the sky to avoid. The debri will bounce twice to the left every
time it lands and then fall off the screen. You can jump over it when it
bounces. Keep going right while avoiding all the debri and killing another
enemy. You will soon reach a large gap with a castle in the background.
Activate your wing ability to float across this gap. Continue a bit further to
the right for the boss of this stage.
This boss is more tough to hit safely than anything else. It is actually very
easy to avoid taking damage from. It will constantly fly in the air and dive
down towards you, then fly about head height until it reaches the other side of
the screen, then fly back up. You can always duck an be safe from its attacks.
The best way to kill this boss is to stay under it when it's in the air. When
it dives down, jump and attack it from behind. Just keep moving to be under it.
It will take a few dives for you to get the timing down but it can be done
pretty easily. Fortunately, there's no time limit so just keep up with this
strategy until you kill it without taking any damage yourself. This boss will
die in seven hits.
_________________________________________
Stage 4
_________________________________________
Kill the first two enemies and go right. There will be a brief cutscene and you
will enter a door to enter a maze. Go left, jump the gap, and kill the
alligator. Enter this door here. Go right and kill the enemy that comes out of
the door. Enter that door. Now go right on the lower path and kill the enemy
down here. Enter this door. Go left on the lower path to enter the next section
of this stage.
Jump the gaps to the right and enter the door. Go to the top right corner but
do not jump down yet. If you jump, you will die when you hit the ground. Simply
walk off the edge and you will notice that you will then go upside down. All
your directional controls will now be reversed. From here, to clarify, I will
always refer to directions that the screen shows, not the controller inputs
would do. Go to the lower left corner and enter the door. Go left and kill the
enemy. Just keep walking to change gravity again and enter the door in the top
left corner. Go to the right and jump to the door in the top right corner. Now
go left and enter this door here for the mini boss.
This boss is actually pretty easy. It will only move left and right without
jumping. As a result, it cannot reach the higher platforms. Just stand as close
to the edge of the platform just to the left of it and attack from here. Once
you hit it, immediately jump away to the left. Its pieces will scatter and if
you get hit by one of them, you will take damage. Hit this boss five times to
kill it and enter the door to the right to enter a boss rush of all the
previous bosses.
The first two bosses can actually be beaten with two quick lightning attacks.
Just immediately use them before the bosses even get a chance to attack and
you'll kill them with ease. The third is the bird boss. The lightning attack
actually doesn't affect this boss. Use the same strategy I posted before. Here
it is so you don't have to go searching for it:
This boss is more tough to hit safely than anything else. It is actually very
easy to avoid taking damage from. It will constantly fly in the air and dive
down towards you, then fly about head height until it reaches the other side of
the screen, then fly back up. You can always duck an be safe from its attacks.
The best way to kill this boss is to stay under it when it's in the air. When
it dives down, jump and attack it from behind. Just keep moving to be under it.
It will take a few dives for you to get the timing down but it can be done
pretty easily. Fortunately, there's no time limit so just keep up with this
strategy until you kill it without taking any damage yourself. This boss will
die in seven hits.
The boss has two attacks. He will shoot a fireball that flies to the left in a
wave pattern and a beam from his eyes that go to the left in a straight line.
Use your sun shield ability immediately and it will prevent the boss from
firing that beam. Now you only have to worry about his fireballs. He will jump
from the far right to the middle and keep jumping between those two locations.
No matter what, he will also always shoot to the left, even if you're to his
right. For that reason, I recommend staying on the right half of the screen.
Jump over his fireballs and attack him as much as you can. Hitting him disrupts
his fireball so if you make sure to be consistent with your attacks, you really
only have to avoid his jumps. Hit him sixteen times to defeat this boss.

You will see the abilities you have at the top of the screen next to your
health. If you keep pressing B, your character will spin and the game will
pause. You can then pick which power up you would like to use and you can press
A to activate it.
FLOWER The flower is the first ability you get, before you even start
the game. You can use these near any pond and it will spawn a
floating flower on the lake. The flower will float left and
right on the lake. It is used to cross the river. Just jump on
one after you spawn it and ride it to the other side.
WATER JET The water jet will be unlocked once you complete stage 1. You
will occasionally see little green circles in the ground. If you
use this ability when you see those, it will cause a water jet
to shoot up from the ground that you can stand on to reach
higher platforms.
SPIRIT The spirit will be unlocked alongside the water jet at the end
of stage 1. The only thing it does is gives you tips whenever
you are stuck. Most of the time, it actually won't have anything
to say but you will see a couple times when you are truly stuck
it will give you some advice.
EARTHQUAKE The earthquake will be unlocked at the end of stage 2. You can
use it when some large objects block your path. It will cause
the obstacle to break apart, allowing you to continue.
WING The wing is unlocked alongside the earthquake at the end of
stage 2. You can activate it right before large gaps to fly you
across them.
SUN SHIELD The sun shield is unlocked at the end of stage 3. The sun shield
will block one of Lord Maliss' (the final boss) abilities. He
attacks in two ways, shooting a fireball that flies in a wave
pattern and shooting a beam out of his eyes in a straight line.
The sun shield will prevent him from shooting the beam attack.
LIGHTNING The lightning is unlocked alongside the sun shield at the end of
stage 3. The lightning bolt can only be used outside but deals
more damage than your regular cape twirl. It can also be used at
any range so using them on bosses is very useful.
