Alright, we're diving into Sandopolis Zone Act 1! This part can be a bit tricky with all the sand and hidden paths, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it.
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you land in the sand, jump up. You'll want to head right and push that yellow block you see. Hop on and ride it down the slides.
- 2Keep running down the slope and grab onto the pulley lift. Head right and speed through the loop-de-loop.
- 3You'll find another yellow block; push it and ride it. Now, use the swings to make your way left.
- 4Grab the Invincibility monitor if you can, then head upwards. You'll pass a Starpost, so keep going down the slides.
- 5When you land in that sticky quicksand, quickly jump over to the right. Find the yellow block and ride it.
- 6Use your Spin Dash to go up the slope, then use the platforms to ascend the slide. Run through the loop-de-loop and use the next pulley lift.
- 7Push the yellow block and ride it. Head right and then go up. Use the swing to get past the next Starpost.
