Your guide to nabbing the second Star in Cool, Cool Mountain! Learn how to safely carry the baby penguin and avoid hazards to earn your reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start this level near a small, snow-covered tree and a tiny cottage with a chimney. Your first objective is to reach a ledge higher up. Jump onto the cottage's roof, then onto the chimney. Don't go down the chimney! Instead, jump from the chimney to grab onto a higher ledge where a small penguin is waiting.
  2. 2
    Pick up the baby penguin. As soon as you do, it'll start crying. Now, your mission is to carry this little guy to safety. Head to the left and start sliding down the mountain. Try to keep your slide smooth and avoid bumping into the walls, as hitting them will cause you to drop the baby penguin, and you'll have to start over from the ledge.
  3. 3
    When you reach the bottom area of the mountain, your slide should naturally stop. Continue carrying the baby penguin towards the right. You'll soon encounter a large wooden bridge guarded by two hopping snowmen. These guys are tricky! Take your time and carefully maneuver past them. If they hit you, you'll drop the baby penguin, so be patient.
  4. 4
    Once you've crossed the bridge, you'll enter a small snowy area. Be ready, because a snowman will pop out of the snow and start throwing snowballs at you. Dodge these projectiles as you make your way through.
  5. 5
    After clearing the snowball-throwing snowman, you'll find another wooden platform. Follow this platform all the way down to the very bottom of the area.
  6. 6
    At the bottom, you'll find a very large penguin relaxing in some water. This is the baby penguin's mother! Show her the baby you've been carrying. She'll be overjoyed to have her little one back and will reward you with the Star.
Tips
  • The slide down the mountain is your best friend for speed, but control is key. Gentle movements are better than fast, jerky ones to avoid dropping the penguin.
  • The hopping snowmen on the bridge can be frustrating. Wait for an opening or try to bait them into a jump before you cross.
  • Don't rush past the snowball-throwing snowman. Keep moving and try to stay out of its direct line of fire.
