Notes, Tips & Tricks

  • Chapter 1 contains a total of 20 strawberries. Strawberries don’t count as collected until you land on solid ground. (On some screens, you need to land in a specific area.)
  • Winged strawberries fly away upward if you dash while on the same screen. Don’t dash until you’re sure you can catch it!
  • The moving platforms on belts transfer their momentum to you if you jump off while they’re moving at high speed. You can use these to jump a lot farther than normal.
  • Levels in this game are riddled with secret areas. Look carefully for subtle clues that indicate the presence of a secret. (Some need to be opened up by dashing at them.)
  • Yellowish-green diamonds recharge your stamina and give you an extra dash while still in the air. (These reappear a few seconds after being collected. Use this to your advantage.)
  • This level requires you to solve a puzzle on the radar tower screen in order to acquire the crystal heart (see 3:26 in the video). The solution is a series of dashes in these directions: up, left, down-right, up-right, left, up-left. After that, collect the crystal heart by dashing at it.
  • You can pass through upward-pointing spikes from below without being harmed. (However, be careful not to fall back down onto them!)
  • Screens with B-side tapes contain blue and pink platforms that switch on and off in time with the music. Active platforms are 100% solid; inactive ones can be passed through. Listen carefully to the music to time your jumps and dashes.
