• Puzzle Piece 1 — Puzzle 1 At the beginning, jump into a nearby barrel to shoot yourself into an area in the background. Jump into the cave on the far left, where a Puzzle Piece shoots out. Smash pumpkins to collect some extras, and seek another barrel to return. Then pound on the detonator to uncover an entrance to the mine. Use another barrel to return to the background and enter the mine.
• Puzzle Piece 2 Move through the Cave. When you reach platforms that lead up, bounce against the rock face far right to open a hidden area with a Puzzle Piece.
• K Continue through the cave until you reach a large area where you ride a mine cart. At the second set of bananas, jump up to grab the K-Crystal block while dodging the flutterman
• Puzzle Piece 3 Shortly after the checkpoint, drop after the wooden platforms fall. Roll left into a small cave that leads you to a bonus area. Here you have to jump on a springy platform as it moves left and right, collecting coins and bananas in the air. Collect everything and leave the area with a Puzzle Piece
• After leaving, move on to the right. You land again on a mine cart. When a crystal falls from the blanket and destroys the track, jumps into the air to grab the O-Crystal block. Make sure to land on the mine cart again
• If your mine cart is going down a tipping distance, be ready to jump at the end and land on a shaky platform. Once you touch it, it begins to fall. Jump up quickly to fetch the N-Crystal block, then jump into the nearby barrel to move on
• Puzzle Piece 4 You fall through a mine shaft. Jump to the right before a platform falls, then jump to the left where the platform was and land in a barrel that shoots you into another bonus area. Here you have to jump on small platforms and collect bananas, coins and a balloon to get a Puzzle Piece at the end
• Puzzle Piece 5 After leaving the bonus area rises again to a mine cart. Drive to the right, then jump into a barrel and return to the left. Wait at the end until the mine cart begins to fall, and then jump to the platform with a Puzzle Piece. If you jump too early, you end up in the barrel. Get the Puzzle Piece and quickly jump into the barrel before the platform falls
• G After being back on a mine cart, jump into a barrel near the G block. This shoots you directly to the letter block. Make sure to land on the mine cart again. Then jump to the final barrel and activate it to complete the level.

• K Once you are in a mine cart, prepare to jump through some bananas as you drive down a hill. Jump early to meet the little piece of track. From there, jump up to reach the K-Block
• Puzzle Piece 1 — After crouching under low-hanging crystals, jump on a mole guard in a mine cart to meet you. Once you meet him, jump again to get a boost to the upper track. There you can collect bananas and jump to a short track with a Puzzle Piece
• O Stay below to get through under further crystals. Jump over a few obstacles and then duck again. Upon leaving this area, be ready to jump to get the O-Crystal block and cross the gap to the next track
• Puzzle Piece 2 To cross the gap, perform a low jump by just briefly tapping the jump button. Land on the lower track to get the Puzzle Piece, and then jump quickly to the upper track to avoid falling down at the end
• Puzzle Piece 3 If you see a sign with an arrow down, do not jump to the next track. Instead, drop your mine cart over the edge. It lands on a lower track, which you can only see when falling. Continue on to get the next piece of the puzzle, then jump right back up to the top track before you drop down.
• Puzzle Piece 4 — Puzzle 4 After the checkpoint, duck when crystals fall off, then jump over a mole guard in a mine cart. Collect the Puzzle Piece as you pass the bananas, and quickly duck back to get under another falling crystal.
• N You reach an area where five mole guards ride in front of you in Loren. Make a low jump on the first guard and then on the second so as not to bump against the low blanket. In the fourth guard, however, you should jump high to reach the N-Crystal block before passing it.
• G The mole guards try to stop you by blowing the track in front of you. Just jump over the gaps and move on. Finally, you reach a strongly curved rail piece that breaks off and acts like a wheel. Jump on opening to avoid falling down and grab the G-Crystal block during one of these jumps
• Puzzle Piece 5 At the end of the level runs past the final barrel and rolls into the cave on the far right. There you enter a bonus area where you have to make many jumps between stationary platforms to collect several bananas and a few coins. After collecting everything, you get the last Puzzle Piece.

• Puzzle Piece 1 When the level starts, go left and enter the mine to reach a bonus area. Jump to the moving platforms to collect a few coins and a lot of bananas. Once you clear the area, you get a Puzzle Piece
• K and Puzzle Piece 2 To get the second Puzzle Piece, collect all the bananas in the wave-shaped line. The K-Crystal block is located in this line. The banana right after the K is tricky, as you have to dive down a bit to reach it. The K-Crystal block is easy to get, especially if you collect the bananas to get the Puzzle Piece. However, be careful not to bump against the pointed rock hanging from the blanket just before this letter block.
• O Fly carefully through the sharp-edged rocks that protrude from the ground, and then dip a bit down to fetch the O-Crystal block. Pull back up quickly so you don’t bump into another rock.
• Puzzle Piece 3 — Puzzle 3 Right after you pass the checkpoint, carefully collect all six bananas that form a wavy line. You will be rewarded with another Puzzle Piece.
• Puzzle Piece 4 While the mine train passes through a series of corkscrew loops, four mole guards are dropped off on balloons. Fly over the guards and reach their balloons to make them burst and drop the moles. When you burst all four balloons, a Puzzle Piece appears that you can collect
• N Shortly after you reach the end of the corkscrew track, head down to get the N-Crystal block. Be ready to move up quickly
• G After leaving a cave, you have to deal with crystals that fall from the blanket. Stay high up and carefully dodge the sharp crystal pieces while collecting the G-Crystal block. After collecting the letter block, go down a bit and move to the final barrel
• Puzzle Piece 5, however, does not hit the final barrel immediately. Instead, walk past it and stamp the cactus to get the final Puzzle Piece. Then you can activate the final barrel to complete the level.
