Well, we don't have super-annoying mini-games anymore, but we still have some super-annoying platforming to do.
Xantham Farms
Now you have stalk leaf jumping...and a bottomless pit. The biggest thing to remember is that you have to land DEAD CENTER on the leaves if you want to land on them. Otherwise, you're going straight through.
You'll also have to watch out for the birds that fly out from both sides of the screen as well as the bees that will dive down at you.
The platforms that move back and forth very quickly are tricky, so bringing the winged slippers is well-advised. If you land on them, they stay in place for a while before falling straight down. Don't let them take you with them.
At least there is no Tickets or mini-games here.
Lemon Trees
Enemies here include grump cats, falling gold apples and trees that throw fruits at you.
To the right of the start is another bone leading to a mini-game called "Toto vs. Mice." You have to move Toto to the "end" emerald to collect a Ticket. You will not be able to jump over the mice, and you must move by pressing diagonal directions on the D-Pad or else you will fall and have to do this all over again. Thankfully, if you know what you're doing and have a little luck, you can beat this in seconds. The Ticket will be right above you when you return to the stage. You now have the sixth and last Yellow Ticket.
Your best bet for going through the rest of the stage is to stay as high as possible. This will allow you to blow through the stage.
Citron City
It should be noted that every time you enter a new stage, your health is completely refilled.
You can enter the houses, kick the crap out of the villagers, and take the single brick that they have.
These city stages (there are four in all, one for each country) will test your jumping skills as well as your ability to find what you can and cannot jump on. You'll also have to watch out for bluebirds as well as walking patio tables.
One of the doors contains an extra life for The Scarecrow. You'll want to get that. There is also another one for The Scarecrow located at the top of the stage.
You will want to complete this stage with 75 yellow bricks. If you don't have that much, go back to earlier areas, especially Shy Village (which is the best area to recommend).
It should be obvious that you should not touch any open flames as they will damage you.
The exit is at the top-left of the stage where the arrow is. If you leave from the sides at the very bottom of the level, you will leave, but the level will not be counted as complete and you will have to go through it until you find the actual exit.
Yellow/Red Border
The more yellow bricks that you have when you come here, the less jumping you will have to do. In case you don't have enough, you can always leave from the left side, go back to an earlier stage, collect more bricks, and come back.
When you cross to the Red Country, you will get a password. Write it down.
