Stage Walkthrough (2)

Start to Checkpoint 1: Run forward, grab rings, and destroy enemies until you reach a cliff. Stand in front of it and let the wind carry you up to the ledge where the first checkpoint is located.

Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2: Jump up the cliffs, hit the spring, and float over to checkpoint 2.

Checkpoint 2 to Checkpoint 3: Proceed straight ahead, run off the cliff, and continue holding up on the control stick. The wind will carry you to the next platform. Use the trampoline to bounce up to another floating platform, then hop across to the broken bridge. Continue onto the next bridge, which will break. Run alongside the cliff and let yourself be sucked into the tornado. Run around the platform, hit the spring, and get onto the next platform. Run to the "1" pad, then jump to pads 2, 3, 4, and 5. Jump one more time to reach checkpoint #3.

Checkpoint 3 to Checkpoint 4: Bounce on the trampoline to the bridge, run across it, and hit the spring. Float over to the platform, then hit the spring to exit the tornado. Continue down the path. When blocked by bricks, use the Spin Dash to break through. Go all the way down the metal path and hit the springs to be propelled into a broken building. Run out and grab the rocket to reach the fourth checkpoint.

Checkpoint 4 to Checkpoint 5: Hit the boost pad and run all the way down the metal path. At the end, run off the edge and keep holding up on the control stick to reach the next platform. Hit the spring, then take one of the paths on the right. Go all the way around to the top of the mountain. Stand in the center and use the gust to hit the spring, which will propel you to checkpoint 5.

Checkpoint 5 to End: Go down the metal path and keep running. You will run down a mountain and through more gusts of wind; just keep going. You will soon reach the Chaos Emerald.
