In this entry, we get a change of pace from the Europe levels and head into the land of ice and snow. Things start off simpler now, but they'll get tougher later.
Snow Joke
Welcome to the ice levels! For your first mission in the cold, you'll be switching on a snow blower to bring the snow back, switching on a big computer thing, and getting a husky for Dan.
You'll start out as EVO's chip and move automatically towards a downed penguin to take control of it. As the penguin, you can jump and throw snowballs with A and B respectively, and if you hold down A, the penguin can float much like the sheep with a tiny parasol over its head.
The other penguin that soon shows up will throw snowballs back at you if you attack it enough, but if you get close enough to the edge of the hill, the husky will come at you. It is possible to trap near the Power Cell at the beginning so that it can't climb up towards you. From there, you can let loose with the snowballs and beat it up until you can take control of the husky, completing one of the mission objectives right out of the gate. The husky can jump and bite with A and B respectively.
Take control of the husky and go down the icy slide. In case you miss the Power Cell here, you'll be able to go back. Chase after the nearby husky from behind and take it down with the bite attack, then explore the nearby area where the pipes are and take out the penguins.
There is a switch in one of the dead ends that leads to a reflective wall showing off the vast expanse of space; toggling it will switch the time of day from day to night. This will summon up a red platform nearby that you'll need for later. You're done here, so go down the area with the metalllic floor and hit the switch to turn on the snow blower to bring the snow back and give yourself a way out of that area. That's two missions down.
There is a big wall that looks like a switchboard with lights that has a switch on it. Hit the switch to turn on the big computer thingy. It only activates the secondary engines, but you can now get to the exit teleporter in the center of the level.
Keep exploring and you'll find a snow hare. The snow hare jumps with A, which must be held to ensure movement, and performs a damage-causing, earthquaking stomp with B that hurts anything in front of it. You'll need this snow hare to get the Power Cells as the trophy symbolized by a golden snow machine pipe, as this is the only animal that can do it. To get the trophy, you'll need to jump on the glowing platform that shows up only at night and ride it to the stop of the stage. Hold A to jump onto the slope, then guide yourself with the Control Stick to get on the platforms. If you start falling away from the platforms, hold A and hold the Control Stick towards the platforms to save yourself. You'll find the trophy here. From here, you can hope across some platforms to get to the exit teleporter.
