Compared to other levels, it will take a bit of effort to get all the power cells as well as the trophy.
Pinball Blizzard
Something is jamming the signal to the teleporter, and in order to counter this something, we need to counter it with...music. We need to collect the silver notes, then play the song on a giant keyboard.
You start off as the ski husky. Take out the penguin king and the lackeys first. You'll need them soon. Next, you'll need to take out the polar bears, who will wake up when you get close enough to them. They will hit you with an earthquake attack if they see you. You only need to defeat one of them, but it's better to defeat all of them. In order to get them to wake up, however, you need to be aware of where they are looking and then be in their field of vision in order to get them to wake up and shake the ground - and decimate your health - with a somersault. Thankfully, if you're not near them, not only will they not attack, but they also leave you alone.
The snowballs near the polar bears contain Power Cells; make sure you destroy them and collect them all.
Once you take care of the polar bear problem (which can take a while), you'll see a moving platform nearby. Jump on it with the A button as the polar bear by pressing it once to jump and again to do the jump-thump attack that gives you a little more height so you can get on the platform, then press B to hide and hold the button down so that you can smash into the ice cubes nearby.
There are penguins past this point. Do not kill them. Leave them alone. This will be important for later.
After getting the two Power Cells near the platform, take control of the Penguin king. The King Penguin is much like the King Rat, except you can jump instead of drop mines. Holding down A will allow you to use a jetpack that will take you upwards for a short distance, which will prove useful. Get up the nearby platforms for two Power Cells and a silver note. You'll need the silver notes, so pick them up. The ones you'll need are on the platforms near the penguin king, the platforms afterwards, and the chasm near the polar bear platform. You'll also see a penguin. If you run into the penguin, he will produce a musical note. Once again, do not hurt the penguins. You will need them later.
There are six penguins in all, and the more you run into and touch, the more notes they play when you touch one. They play a melody, and you'll need to play and remember that melody. They will be on the penguin king platforms, the platforms afterwards, the Power Cell platform near the polar bear platform, the chasm near the polar bear platform, near the piano, and at the column underneath the piano.
Exploring past the polar bear platform takes you to the piano. There are five black keys and eight white keys. The piano will play notes, which are different every time you play the stage, and the keys you need to hit will light up pink. If you mess up on the current pattern, you start over on the current pattern and keep doing it until you get it right. As you get the patterns correctly, you'll reveal more floating platforms. After playing six notes in sequence, you'll reveal all the platforms and open a path to the top where the teleporter is and you'll also activate the recorder.
When you find all six penguins and reveal all six notes by touching each one, you'll get a pattern that you need to play on the keyboard. Unlike the platform puzzle, it's the same sequence every time. You'll also need to complete the platform puzzle from earlier and activate the recorder. The X button clears the recorded pattern, the red circle is the record button, and the green triangle is the play button. Move into a button to make it perform its respective action. Record, then hit the following white keys: 5, 6, 4, 8, 1, 4. (All numbers are from the left side of the keyboard to the right.) Hit the play button to play the sequence, and you'll cause the six penguins to summon a seventh one in a UFO to produce the trophy. If you killed any of the penguins before doing this, not only will you not get the full pattern, but you will not get the trophy. This is why the penguins should be spared. The trophy will be at the top of the huge platform after the ones near where you found the King Penguin. You'll need to boost jump onto a speaker in order to get to the top, then grab the trophy.
From here, head back to the piano and jump on the platforms you summoned to get to the teleporter. As you jump from platform to platform, each one will play the notes you played on the piano in order to get them to show up in the first place, in sequence. Nice touch.
