Flaming the ropes between the para-gliders and the snowmobiles does nothing. You'll have to go up to all eight of the snowmobile targets directly in order to destroy them. Other than that and the odd placing of some of the targets, this is pretty much a medium-difficulty course.

Fracture Hills


Oh, Christ. This level.

Not only are the orbs here the hardest in the game, there's also the hardest Skill Point to get in the game, the hardest metal box to break in the game as well as the fact that you can't get 100% until you get the Headbash in Winter Tundra.

Your goal here is to free all six satyrs by flaming or charging the satyr statues. When you free a satyr, they'll play music that will break the stone encasing the castle in the center of the world.

The Earthshapers are in the bottom part of the world, and the only way you can destroy them is to keep ramming them with your charge attack until you push them into the lava. Above the Earthshapers' domain are trees with beehives that send bees after you and animate bushes that try to eat you. If you can get close just enough and stand still, you'll see the bushes grow eyes and look around (which is really hilarious) and the trees will grow eyes as well as if they're lying in wait for you. Thankfully, both can easily be destroyed with the flame attack.

The fodder here are the pigs that run around and oink throughout the level. If any are in your immediate vicinity when you free a satyr, they'll come up to the satyr and dance to the music just like in the pre-level cutscene. Nice touch.

You'll basically be going in a circle the entire time, though you'll be going through both the perimeter of the level and the Earthshapers' domain in the center to get everything.

Technically, you can get two orbs here, but I'd rather save the one not involving the Supercharge for later since there's another orb after it that requires the Headbash.

The metal box is in the Earthshaper's domain around the center, and the only way to open is to use the Supercharge and run all the way to it without running into a wall. It can be done, it's just a matter of how to get to it...and that will probably take several tries. It's near the first and second doors as well as the orbs you get with Hunter, it's just a matter of getting there.

Orbs


Icy Speedway

1. At the start is an igloo. Go up to it and hit Square to Supercharge into it. You'll find Hunter, who wants you to go through 50 rings on a paraglider that he'll pull on a jet-ski. If you can go through all 50 rings without missing, you'll get an orb.

Skill Points


Icy Speedway

Under 1:15 - Hit all the targets in less than 1:15 to get an extra life and a Skill Point.
