Research Station Crate Crash

Mission Giver: Alien Mechanic

Type: Destroy

Rewards: 100 Crystals / 100 Sparks

Wii Rewards: 50 Crystals / 50 Sparks

The first is out in the Waterfall area and it would be easy to boost or fly to get to it, but if you want, you can reach it with a long toss of a ball from an accessible platform near the edge of the waterfall.

The rest are located in the Canyon, so either fly over with the jetpack or use the teleporter to warp to the Canyon.

On a tall rocky ledge is the second crate, which can be accessed by jumping up the pillars next to it.

To the left of those stony pillars is another crate on top of a rocky archway in a somewhat hidden part of the Canyon.

The next crate is near the far wall near the Alien and rocket house. Jump across two small platforms towards the little green guy and follow the nearby stream behind the waterfall to get to the crate near the blue egg.

For the last one, backtrack to the teleporter and drop down to the area below near the water’s edge. The large rocky mesa next door holds the last crate on the bottom.

Secret of the Clothing Store

Mission Giver: Alien

Type: Platforming

Rewards: 100 Crystals / 100 Sparks

The mission is pretty straightforward: find the secret area on the Clothing store. Climb the dark-colored area of the building to get to the roof and leap on top of the three cylindrical peaks.

Each time you get to the top of these little towers, the light on it will turn blue showing you have activated it. When all three lights are blue, a red capsule with the Stinky Pete Hat will appear and the mission will be completed.
