Snifit or Whiffit

March to the right and talk to the snifit. He sells you a special set of 30 cards for a whopping 1000 coins, which you absolutely need for the next level! If you do not have enough free seats in the inventory, then return to Port Prisma and sell some of the cards you do not need.

Remove the tape on the bunker door and approach the color star. Of course, it is a trap, which is why you fall halfway into a trap door. Climb into the green pipe and wait until you are selected as a candidate for a snifit show (!).

You will be asked up to ten questions, in which you have to recognize one to three cards displayed on the screen. In fact, you have to select them from your inventory, always color them completely and use them like an attack. You should have every card required if you have purchased the set of the snifit as described above. If you run out of paint in between, then you can (and must) buy new ones from the moderator for 100 coins.

Depending on the round, the cards are either only partially shown, float across the screen or are mixed together. If you have managed the first four questions, then you could theoretically stop and grab the only color star of the level. However, after answering all ten questions correctly, you will receive a Sofotbild Camera card, which you will still need in the later game.


The cards appear at random. Take good care and remember what you saw. Or you can take a screenshot with your phone and look again.

In the last question, there is a little meanness to note: you are shown three cards, each carried by a Cheep-Cheep, a Blooper and a Snifit. You have to remember both the type of cards and the respective carriers!

If you fail and want to try it again, then you have to buy the card set again. After all, the Snifit sells it this time for just 500 coins. Just keep in mind that you need the necessary space in the inventory again and may have to boot back to Port Prisma.

After dusting off both the Color Star and the Instant Camera card, you should go back to the front door of the cobalt bunker and remove the huge stain on the ground. You need a lot of blue paint for this, but you get three particularly strong hammer cards as a reward.

The color star opens the way for you to the third great color star at Fort Cobalt.Fort Cobalt
