Shifty Smashers

This level is like a puzzle. You must figure out how to get through a maze of moving blocks. If you make a mistake, you get squashed. Before moving, look for a safe spot and then determine how you will get there. In the early part of this level, you don’t have to move too far to get between safe spots. Just remember to plan ahead. There is no reason to rush through this level.

The first Puzzle Piece is located in a safe spot down low. Wait for the large blocks to slide to the right, and then drop down to get it. Stay in the safe spot as the blocks slide left. As they move away, get up and out.

Get onto the platform to the right of the second Puzzle Piece, and the blocks will slide the Puzzle Piece right to you. Do not jump up for it early or you may get caught between a block and the wall.

This Puzzle Piece can be a bit tricky to grab, since you have to drop down a couple steps to retrieve it. Stand by the container up and to the right from the Puzzle Piece. As the blocks slide left, drop down to the Puzzle Piece and stay there in this safe spot. Once the blocks slide away, quickly get out of there.

You now have to cross a long area where the spiked ceiling drops down on you. Crouch down so you don’t get hurt. Jump over the high spot in the middle—being careful to not get caught there when the ceiling comes down—and then cross the second half. This time you must watch out for Tiki Tanks. The spikes don’t affect them, so they can still move while you have to crouch down. If one is headed toward you as the ceiling is dropping, pound the ground near it to stun it.

The second section of moving blocks is more challenging than the first. You have to make higher jumps, and the safe spots often require you to move in order to stay out of harm’s way.

This Puzzle Piece is located beneath a small block. The space on top of and below this block is safe. Wait until the blocks move away and then drop down to get the Puzzle Piece. To continue, get on top of the small block and jump left and then right. If you fall, get to a safe spot quickly.

The last Puzzle Piece is located in the only part of the level where you can’t take your time and plan. You must jump across small platforms as quickly as you can while a spiked ceiling descends on you. Grab the Puzzle Piece as you rush through this area.

Once you reach the end, collect another org for your hard work.
