Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by observing the swinging pendulum to your left. Jump across the gap onto the other side when the pendulum swings out of the way to avoid being pushed off.
  2. 2
    Climb up the three steps and proceed onto the treadmill.
  3. 3
    Walk to the end of the treadmill nearest the giant yellow rotating block.

    Wait for the yellow rotating block to rotate, then jump on top of it.
  5. 5
    Quickly jump from the rotating block onto the small platform to your right.
  6. 6
    Approach the next pendulum in front of you and jump across the pit.
  7. 7
    Follow the brown/white striped platform to the left until it ends.
  8. 8
    You will encounter three giant rotating blocks that rotate simultaneously. Jump onto the top of these blocks as they rotate.
  9. 9
    Quickly climb to the highest of these three blocks and jump onto another brown/white striped platform. Be careful, as falling off will cause you to fall.
  10. 10
    Walk past a bar sticking out of the wall that attempts to push you off.

    Jump onto the large tan-colored platform.
  12. 12
    Walk to the other side of the tan platform to find another yellow treadmill.
  13. 13
    Jump onto this yellow treadmill and then jump onto the platform above it.
  14. 14
    You will see four slowly rotating circular platforms. Use these as steps to reach the top.
  15. 15
    When you reach the fourth circular platform, jump onto the brown/white striped platform.
  16. 16
    Follow this platform to the end, passing another bar that tries to push you off.
  17. 17
    You will see a cage. Perform a double jump to grab the top of the cage and pull yourself up.
  18. 18
    Proceed to the other side of the cage and find more brown/white striped platforming.
  19. 19
    Follow this platform to the end, where a small yellow platform moves up and down.
  20. 20
    Jump onto the small yellow platform, then jump onto the platform above you.
  21. 21
    Collect the 5 coins, avoid the Spark, and climb the pole.
  22. 22
    At the top of the pole, jump off to receive an extra life. You will land on a large yellowish platform.
  23. 23
    Look above the pole you just climbed. You will see a yellow moving platform followed by a stationary platform.
  24. 24
    Jump onto the stationary platform. A heart is located here; run over it multiple times to restore health.
  25. 25
    Jump onto the yellow moving platforms.
  26. 26
    When the yellow platform reaches its highest point, jump off onto the brown/white striped platform located on the right. This jump is difficult.

    Walk to the end of this brown/white striped platform and drop onto the tanish colored cage platform ahead.
  28. 28
    Jump onto the raised portion of this platform on the far right.

    Against the wall, you will see three bars. Jump on the first bar as soon as it emerges from the wall, then onto the second as it emerges, and finally onto the third as it emerges.
  30. 30
    Move left into the caged area.
  31. 31
