Overview

Chapter 12: Mr. E's Challenges
Discovery stars to unlock 999
Smiley Flowers 3

Complete Chapter 10 as well as meeting the discovery-star requirement to unlock this chapter.

Walkthrough

  1. Cross the cloud course using the flying creatures and cloud footholds. Watch for the looping pink flyers and the Goonies carrying dangerous objects.
  2. Keep eggs available for Winged Clouds. Take a stable position before aiming, and avoid jumping into a bird’s flight path while your attention is on the target.
  3. Continue past the curved branches and final vertical flight section, collect the last flower and reach the end of the aerial route.

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 — Broad cloud bank

Broad cloud bank: reveal and hit the Winged Cloud in this first flower section, then collect its reward before leaving the bank.

Smiley Flower 2 — Curved branch section

Curved branch section: inspect the second cloud-and-flying-creature sequence for its flower before taking the upward route.

Smiley Flower 3 — Final vertical section

Final vertical section: throw an egg at the high Winged Cloud beside the tree trunk and collect the flower while navigating the nearby birds.

Creatures and additional discoveries

The moving creatures create the danger here. Pause on a cloud when it is safe, line up the next ride or jump, and aim at a Winged Cloud without drifting into the surrounding flight paths.

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.
