How to Use This Guide

Wondering how to play? Check out the first section. It tells you about the strengths and weaknesses of each playable character, and teaches you how to move and fight. Read this to learn about the various items (those that help and hinder you in your quest to save the Sprixies) and the enemies you’ll encounter. You may think you know how to beat them all, but it can’t hurt to brush up here before you hit those challenging levels.

Most level walkthroughs begin with a map overview of the area, showing you the locations of items and collectibles. You’ll also see numbered callout boxes that reference specific screenshots and text in the level walkthroughs. These number callouts follow the main path through a level, taking you to every important collectible on your way to a Goal Pole. These callouts are also meant to indicate sections of a level that might be particularly tricky, or have useful items to find.

The following features appear in the walkthrough. When you see these, pay special attention.

Stamps

Green Stars

There are two types of collectibles that you must find in every level if you want to reach 100 percent completion: Green Stars and Stamps. Most levels contain three Green Stars and one Stamp, though there are exceptions to this. The Collectibles boxes in the walkthrough are the most common elements, and they will tell you how to reach the collectible in question. Reaching certain Green Stars or Stamps can be a very involved process!

Tips

Sometimes, there are alternate methods to get through a section, or a very particular shortcut. Sometimes, there are different ways to handle an enemy. Sometimes, items are in tricky locations. The Tip boxes give you extra information that help improve your game in between hunting down collectibles.

Notes

Note boxes typically discuss new features in the game, and also inform you if a level requires a certain number of Green Stars to be collected before you can unlock it.

Cautions

Certain levels have very specific hazards that are dangerous enough to warrant extra care. These Caution boxes are meant to grab your attention and spare your life!
