In this entry, we have even more digging to do before continuing into Jubilee Town.
Pathgrinder III
Yep, it's time for more digging. Grab the diggers, wreck the enemies, avoid the spikes, and take detours into dead ends for pick-ups. You'll be able to see pick-ups in the sand if you're paying attention. You'll also want to destroy the drill tank spawners as quickly as possible, especially in the second section, because the spawners and the drill tanks are not going to be kind.
There is a colored icon instead of a monochrome icon in one of the walls at the beginning of the second section, and if you walk into it, you'll find out that it's indicating that the wall is a false one. Keep heading left and jumping over the spikes, then destroy the candle to warp to a mini-game. It's another pedal mini-game. You should know what to do by now.
At the start of the second section, quickly attack the drill tank spawners from above. Your claw will somehow hit them, and you can take out the tanks before they become a problem.
Castle Hassle
Get the skates at the beginning. You'll need them to jump across the conveyor belt platforms. Make sure that when you transform and take the skates on or off, you do it in mid-air so you aren't whisked off the platform when you regain control of Punky.
The robot hands shooting yo-yos can easily be attacked.
The enemies that drop down on the ropes return from the beginning of the rope, and they can't touch you while you're on the conveyor belt platforms in the second section as long as you don't jump into them.
Volley Boss
It's time to take on Commander Chew again, and this time, it's in a game of volleyball.
Press Square to hit the volleyball the moment it is above you to send it back...not a second sooner, not a second later. The moment you start the ball hitting animation is when you will hit the ball. You'll score a point when you hit the ball so that it lands on the floor. If it goes out of bounds, the other person scores a point. Not surprisingly, Chew kept hitting it out of bounds during the battle. The first person to score eight points wins.
Jubilee Town
Chew Ninjas
Grab the paraglider and use it to ride with the currents while bouncing off the enemies.
Be careful with the cloud platforms; while you can stand on them, you'll want to jump into the air when they start producing electricity so you don't get hit and potentially knocked off. They will turn blue before they shock you.
At the upper-right corner of the first section, there is a candle to destroy for a mini-game. Guess what? It's the slot machine mini-game again. This time, I managed to luck out and get four Punkys on the first try, so that's another red crystal in the collection.
The second section brings out the titular ninjas. They hide in the background, come out to throw a shuriken, then hide again. You can only attack them when they're attacking. Also, the spikes in this section are transparent and can be a little difficult to notice at times, so stay away from the walls in the more narrow parts of the section.
Rainbow Dome
Grab the skysurfer and use it to go up and down the slopes, mowing down the enemies as you go. Some of the enemies will run after you and constantly roll snowballs at you, but you can destroy the snowballs in addition to the enemies themselves.
There is a mini-game if you take the low road after the huge slope leading downwards instead of riding the yellow platform. It leads to a matching mini-game, which is much easier than the slot machine. (You can tell I hate the slot machine.)
The second section has a lot more ground to walk on and is therefore more straightforward than the first one.
