Bounce Pads are one of the silliest and most exciting things you can place in your level, simply because they’re the bounciest. And you’d be surprised at how handy a bouncy object can be when you’re trying to reach a high place.
When you first begin this lesson, move your little adventurer all the way to the left and jump off the slanted Bounce Pad there. Press
to really take off, aiming for the Origami Rose Sticker Prize Bubble.
That was fun, but now it’s time to get down to the business of learning. Use the Bounce Pads as you follow Larry Da Vinci to get a feel for them. As soon as you pass through the Popit Powerup at the top of the first platforming area, head straight back to where you came from, and use your Popit Cursor. With it, select the Bounce Pad and adjust its Movement Height so your sack person can jump higher—all with the goal of reaching that Prize Bubble for the Mechanical Pencil Sharpener Object.
Next, you can use your Popit Cursor to select the Bounce Pad ahead, and press
to tweak it. Adjust the Movement with the left stick or right stick to give it more oomph. When you’re done, press
to set your changes, and then have your sack person bounce on it to the platform above.
First, ensure that you make the Bounce Pad bouncy enough to launch your sack person to the Prize Bubble way, way up in the air—almost out of sight. This is for the Acrylic Tube (Cross Junction) Object. Then, head to the lower platform on the right, and pop those Prize Bubbles for the Cabbage Stencil Sticker and Dust Particles Sticker at the top.
In the next area, maximize the bounciness of the Bounce Pad to reach the White Radial Fade Outwards Sticker Prize Bubble, and then jump over the obstacle to the right.
As you proceed along the platforms, continue adjusting Bounce Pads. Keep an eye out for the Prize Bubble with the Red Pencil Decoration—your sack person must jump over the Bounce Pad to reach it.
Creating Your Own Bounce Pads
Now it’s time to start making your own Bounce Pads and placing them in the level so your sack person can get a move on. You already know a little about that. Select the Bounce Pad from your Tools bag and place it where you want, and then press
to configure its properties (like how high your sack person can bounce on it).
Use your Bounce Pads to proceed up to higher platforms. Make sure you pop the Prize Bubble for the Diamond Pattern Sticker as you go.
You can do more than just change the bounciness of your Bounce Pads—you can also adjust their physics. Press
while you’re creating one, and choose the Static option if you want your Bounce Pad to float wherever you stick it, without any regard for gravity at all.
In the next section, make sure you adjust the movement so your sack person can bounce onto the mesh and grab hold with
. Move through the Prize Bubbles for the Acrylic Tube (T-Junction) Object and Mushroom Light Decoration.
On the platform above, head to the right to pick up the somewhat hidden Prize Bubble’s Small Bracken Leaf Sticker.
Helping Sackbots to the Other Side
The next section involves your sack person coming to the aid of Sackbots that are impaling themselves on spikes and whatnot; it’s really quite a mess. Move along the platforms, and place Bounce Pads along the way for the Sackbots to help them get from one side to the other.
When you’re finished helping the Sackbots in the first portion, collect your reward of the Kilt & Sporran Sticker.
Carry on helping the Sackbots in the same way. See how useful Bounce Pads can be?
Once you’re done with this section, your sack person can burst the Prize Bubble for the Freckles Sticker, and then happily dive down the tube to collect the Plastic Ball Object at the bottom.
In the next room, place a Bounce Pad to help the Sackbots reach the red button, which releases the Prize Bubbles to the left of them. Pop them to receive the Leaves Sticker and Green Branch Sticker.
Finally, don’t miss the Surprised Eye Sticker hidden between platforms toward the end of the last room. Jump down to pop the Prize Bubble; a Bounce Pad launches your sack person directly back up to safety.
