Walkthrough
- Pick up the apple and carry it through the Little Mouser course. Stay above the mice when you can; they can snatch the fruit if you pass too close.
- If a mouse steals it, recover it immediately before the apple is eaten. Cross the orange platforms with controlled jumps and work around the large rolling Tumball.
- Continue through the darker cave, checking the upper and lower routes for flowers. Bring the intact apple through the final climb to finish the task.
Smiley Flower locations
The locations are listed separately from the main route so you can check a missing flower without repeating every step.
Smiley Flower 1 — First orange-platform climb
First orange-platform climb: explore the elevated section above the mouse holes while keeping the apple away from the mice.
Smiley Flower 2 — Tumball passage
Tumball passage: collect the flower on the route through the large rolling creature’s section before entering the darker cave.
Smiley Flower 3 — Long wooden platform
Long wooden platform: check the raised route around this platform and its adjoining orange foothold.
Smiley Flower 4 — Final climb
Final climb: take the flower along the last orange-platform and upper-ledge sequence before delivering the apple.
Creatures and additional discoveries
Recovering a stolen apple is possible, but leaving it with a mouse ends the attempt. Clear each landing before carrying the apple onto it; a flower detour is easier while the fruit remains under your control.
Before leaving
- Check the habitat’s flower counter against the locations above.
- Finish the main objective before entering the sparkly exit.
- Review the creature’s book entry for an unrecorded interaction or a later discovery event.
