Sonic & Knuckles: Conquer Sandopolis Zone (2)

Alright, let's dive into Sandopolis Zone Act 1! This place can be a bit tricky with all the sand and hidden paths, but we'll get through it together.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start by landing in the sand. Your first move is to jump up and then head right. You'll find a yellow block here – push it and hop on to ride it. You'll go down some slides, so just let it take you.
2
After the slides, run down the slope and grab onto the pulley lift. Ride it to the right, and then run through the loop-de-loop.
3
Next, you'll encounter another yellow block. Push it, ride it, and then use the swings to make your way left.
4
Keep an eye out for an Invincibility power-up; grab it and head upwards. You'll pass a Starpost, so make sure you hit that! After the Starpost, head down the slides.
5
When you land in the quicksand, don't get stuck! Jump over to the right. You'll find another yellow block. Push it, ride it, and then use the Spin Dash to blast up the slope.
6
Use the platforms that appear to go up the slide. Run through the loop-de-loop and use the pulley lift that follows.
7
Push the next yellow block and ride it to the right. Then, go up. Use the swing to cross over and pass the Starpost.
8
After that Starpost, use the pulley lift and push another yellow block. Ride it, and when you drop down, head right. Go down the slopes, use the swings to go left, run through the loop-de-loop, and then head up.
9
Finally, go right and use the pulley lift. Pass the Starpost, and keep heading right. You'll see a pyramid rising from the sand. When its entrance opens up, get ready, because the Pyramid Guardian fight is about to begin!

Tips

Don't linger too long in the quicksand; keep jumping to safety.
The yellow blocks are your best friends for navigating tricky sections and gaining height.
Make sure to hit every Starpost you see – they're your checkpoints!
