What's New -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Version 1.15 (5/30/2012): Finally figured out how to obtain the remaining perfectionist details in Areas 39 and 40. Made the Trophy Mode walkthrough for the latter; still need one for Area 39 that conforms to the number of crushes. Version 1.10 (5/21/2012): Put in the missing perfectionist details for Areas 31 and 37, and put in Trophy Mode walkthroughs for all Areas except for Areas 39 and 40, because a remaining lack of the perfectionist stuff. Version 1.00 (5/16/2012): The first publicated version of this guide. The walkthrough is covered almost completely, covering all 40 Areas and lacking just a few perfectionist details on Areas 31, 37, 39, and 40; if you have any info regarding those, we'd greatly appreciate it! Should be uploadiing some walkthroughs for Trophy Mode pretty soon, as well, so stay tuned! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 2. Introduction -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CRUSH3D is one of the newer titles for the Nintendo 3DS (as of this document's original publication). With features much like that of Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Wii (despite the two games being unrelated), this game is quite the best example you can find of a puzzle/platformer game. Based on the idea that finding your marbles will unlock your mind, this game is truly a must-have for any Nintendo 3DS owner. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 3. Controls -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Circle Pad: Move Danny D-Pad: Change camera angle Start: Pause/unpause game Select: Pause/unpause game A: Jump B: Crouch down X: Push a movable object in the direction you're facing Y: Obtain a hint; press twice to obtain an advanced hint L: Crush/uncrush the environment R: Enter "Look Around" mode; use the Circle Pad to look around, Up/Down on the D-Pad to zoom in or out, and Left/Right on the D-Pad to change the center of focus from Danny to the area's center ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 4. Walkthrough -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ====================== Tutorial 1: The Basics ====================== In the first of three tutorial-like areas, you will learn the basic controls of the game. You move by using the Circle Pad, obviously. Start by jumping (press A to jump) across a few platforms until you reach the end. Your next lesson is on changing the camera angle by using the Control Pad. You can change the view to any of the four sides, or use a top-down view. The next couple of lessons will involve learning how to crush, which is turning the 3D environment into a flat 2D realm, and again from 2D to 3D. This is an essential skill which you must master in order to progress far into the game. If you are in 3D mode and cannot progress, crush the area into 2D and walk onto the platform which was in the distance in 3D. Use crushing to get across the next couple of platforms. The next lesson will show you how to look around. While holding the R button, use the Circle Pad to look around. You will be introduced to the checkpoint, which is where you will return to upon dying (no dying on this stage though!). After looking around, you will see a few new platforms with marbles on them, as well as the exit. Marbles are the collectibles in this game, and in order to access the exit, you must collect at least 50% of the area's marbles. A counter is displayed on the top of your screen. There are three different colors of marbles, each with a different value (blue is 1, purple is 3, and red is 10). When you have control with the top-down view, drop down to the adjacent platform to get a marble (1). Crush into 2D view from there and hop across the platforms to grab the remaining marbles, one of each color (15). The exit at the end will open, so step into it to complete the tutorial! ============================== Tutorial 2: Three Colors Block ============================== Marbles: 30 Here, you will partake in a more advanced tutorial, introducing you to the various types of blocks. First up are hollow blocks, which are not useful in 3D, but in 2D, the center ledge can be jumped on to reach the top of the block. Crush now to demonstrate this point, and collect the two marbles (2) by jumping up the ledges. From here, try to walk into the brick wall ahead, which you won't be able to pass. The next block is a solid brick block. It is impassable in 2D, so you must uncrush to 3D to walk across. In 3D mode, grab the marble (3). If you crush back to 2D while in front of a brick block, you will get knocked off as it's a solid wall in 2D! Up ahead, you will find a ghost block. In 2D, you will pass right through it, but in 3D mode, it will become a solid block so you can walk across it. Grab the marble (4), then crush to 2D to fall onto the ledge below, grabbing three more marbles (7) in the process. When you land, try to uncrush to demonstrate what happens if there is no ledge to stand on in 3D mode. After looking around again, you will learn how to crouch (press B while moving). Crouch and move to the left to grab five more marbles (12) below the brick block, then uncrush to 3D while crouched. Enter the checkpoint ahead, and you will find some more blocks on the back side of the level. After hearing the professor's advice, you will be on your own to finish up. So, turn the camera angle so you can see the other side of the blocks above. You will find a hollow block with many ledges, and more marbles. Crush to 2D, then crouch under the brick block and jump up the hollow block's ledges to get a total of eight marbles (20): one purple and five blue. At the top, grab the red marble to complete the collection (30). Jump onto the left brick block and uncrush to 3D, then walk across the ghost block to the exit. =============================== Tutorial 3: Thought For The Day =============================== Marbles: 20 For this next tutorial stage, you will learn about a concept known as Thoughts. To start, you will see a Memory (the photo album) nearby. There is one in each stage, and finding it will unlock an image in the gallery. Grab it, then the camera angle will change to show the next concept. On the wall is a trophy icon, also known as a Thought. Thoughts are only active in 2D mode, so crush to 2D to activate the Trophy Thought. It will cause an actual Trophy to appear to the left, but it is behind a brick wall. Uncrush and walk to the left of the brick wall in the background, then crush back to 2D to retrieve the Trophy item. There is one Trophy Thought per level, as demonstrated, which is another bonus item to collect for completion purposes. Ahead, you will see another Thought blocked by brick walls. Crush to 2D and the Lightheadedness Thought will move the bricks, fully activating itself. With this Thought active, you will be able to jump twice as high/far. To continue, jump onto the lower brick wall and onto the hollow ledge above to grab some marbles and the Checkpoint. From there, jump across the wide gap to the left and get the rest of the marbles (20), and proceed to the exit. At last the real game will begin! =================== Area 1: First Crush =================== Marbles: 20 Before you begin the first real level of the game, the professor will point out the Hint feature. Press Y to get a hint, and press Y again to see a better hint. I won't be using these, and presumably you won't be either, so let us continue onward. On the first platform, walk around to grab four marbles (4). Crush to 2D and walk onto the brown ledge to the right to reach a Checkpoint. While on that ledge, uncrush back to 3D and you will end up in the distance. You will see a line of marbles leading downward, so walk to the back of the ledge and drop down to the lower area while grabbing the purple and blue marbles (10). Upon landing, turn the camera angle once to the left to reveal a Trophy Thought on the wall directly below. Crush to 2D and collect the Trophy itself. After that, uncrush back to 3D, then switch the camera to the top- down view. Crush to 2D once more to flatten the area, then walk across to the red marble (20). Before proceeding to the exit though, stand by the brick wall and uncrush back to 3D, and jump to grab the Memory floating in the air. Grab the Checkpoint again and drop to the low ledge, then use the top-down view and crush to 2D yet again. Then, just walk across to the exit. ================== Area 2: Early Rise ================== Marbles: 20 Walk across the path, grabbing the first two marbles (2). At the other side, crush to 2D and continue along to the left, grabbing five marbles (7). Uncrush back to 3D, then turn the camera angle once to the left, so you can see the Memory floating in the background. Crush to 2D to grab it, then uncrush to 3D again. Turn the camera angle to the left until you see the brick steps in the background. Crush to 2D and jump up the brick wall steps to obtain two more marbles (9) and the Checkpoint at the top. Grab the lone blue marble (10), as well as the red marble on the narrow brick wall nearby (20). Turn the camera once more to the right to reveal the Trophy Thought. Crush to 2D to reveal the Trophy to the left of the wall. Grab it, then uncrush back to 3D mode. Switch to the top-down view and stand on the white block below, then crush to 2D to flatten it. From there, simply walk across to the exit. ======================== Tutorial 4: Boulder Dash ======================== Marbles: 20 You will find yourself in another tutorial here, where you get to see some new elements you must face going forward. Begin by walking ahead and grabbing the first four marbles (4). There is a giant soda can ahead, known as a roller. Push it by standing next to it and pressing X, causing it to fall into the gap below. Rollers can be used to fill holes in the path or act as steps (like in this case). After pushing the roller, jump across it to reach the Checkpoint. There is another roller atop the hill, so follow the steps to reach it. Crush to 2D and push the roller ahead, causing it to fall out of the level. Collect the next four marbles (8) as you proceed. At the far end, uncrush to 3D and you will find a giant green ball around the corner. It works like a roller, but can be pushed in any direction. Switch to the top-down view and crush to 2D, then push the ball across the platform and then to the side, causing it to fall into the adjacent gap (in 3D). Be sure to grab the Checkpoint as well. Since you'll be back in 3D automatically, switch the camera angle so you can more easily see the path ahead. Jump across the gap and onto the ball, then grab the remaining marbles on the ledge ahead (20). Continue to the exit to finish this tutorial. ==================== Area 3: Missing Step ==================== Marbles: 30 Starting off, push the ball straight ahead so it falls off the edge, then walk straight ahead to get seven marbles (7). Turn the camera angle to the right so that you have a side view of the roller, and push that along the path of marbles ahead. Before following that path, stand at the edge of the platform behind you. Turn the camera angle so you can see the Trophy Thought on the back wall. Crush to 2D to activate it, then grab the Trophy near where you are standing. Uncrush back to 3D, then turn the camera and follow the next line of seven marbles (14). Jump onto the roller and jump above it to grab a purple marble (17). From here, turn the camera angle so the rest of the area is in the background, then crush to 2D mode. Grab the Checkpoint and jump up the first few steps to get three more marbles (20). Do not jump to the top level just yet, as that is where the exit is. Instead, uncrush back to 3D and turn the camera angle so you see the red marble in the background and the exit to the right. Grab the red marble (30) and crush to 2D once more. Jump on the step to the right and then jump to reach the Memory in the air above. With that complete, continue to the exit. =============== Area 4: Push-Up =============== Marbles: 20 Begin by grabbing the lone marble (1) at the far end of the platform. Turn the camera angle to the right once and crush to 2D, then walk to the left under the brick ledge to find the Memory. Step back onto the main platform and uncrush to 3D, then turn the camera back to its initial position. Look at the ball in the background and stand to the right of it, then crush into 2D. Next, grab another marble (2) in the right alcove. Push the ball on the elevated ledge to the wall on the left side, then jump from the Checkpoint ledge onto the ball and grab the red marble (12). Stand on the ball and uncrush back to 3D, then turn the camera angle so the Trophy Thought on the wall lines up. Crush into 2D to activate it, then jump from the ball to the above ledge to get the Trophy. After grabbing it, drop onto the ledge that the ball is sitting on and uncrush it to 3D. Turn the camera so you see the Checkpoint in the background, then crush to 2D to access that ledge. Use the Checkpoint and stand on the upper ledge before uncrushing again. Turn the camera angle around so the ball is in the background, then crush yet again to 2D. Drop to the ledges below thanks to the hollow block to grab four marbles (16). Uncrush back to 3D and jump back onto the Checkpoint ledge, then switch to the top-down view. Crush to 2D and walk along the new path to reach the rest of the marbles (20). Uncrush the area one more time and change the camera angle so you can reach the exit atop the bricks. ============================ Area 5: Upstairs, Downstairs ============================ Marbles: 30 Starting off, grab the three marbles (3) on the nearby steps. To the right of the steps, you will see the Memory book in an alcove surrounded by brick blocks. From the top step, jump to the right and into that alcove to retrieve the Memory. At that point, crush to 2D mode and the Trophy Thought on the adjacent wall will activate. You will also grab the Trophy which appears in the same alcove. Uncrush back to 3D and jump back out to the starting platform, and switch to a top-down view. Crush the area back to 2D and follow the trail of blue marbles to grab five more (8). You will see two brick blocks with purple marbles atop them on both sides of a larger white platform. Stand between them and uncrush back to 3D, then jump onto those brick blocks to get both purple marbles for three marbles apiece (14). You will see some white blocks below. Drop down to find another marble (15) and the Checkpoint. There is another marble atop a small brick ledge, so walk onto it to grab the marble (16). While on the brick ledge, switch the camera angle so the rest of the area is in the background. Crush into 2D at that point and go down the brick steps below to reach a purple marble (19). While on the lower ledge, uncrush back to 3D and you will end up on the brick ledge across the gap. Turn the camera angle twice so the other half of the level is in the background. Jump to the next ledge and take a single marble (20), then line up with the red marble in the background and crush to 2D to retrieve it (30). After that, uncrush to 3D and turn the camera so you can see the exit atop the hollow blocks. Crush to 2D and jump up the ledges to reach the exit. ======================== Tutorial 5: Nasty Things ======================== Marbles: 30 This tutorial stage will introduce another hazard you will face throughout the game. Start by grabbing the nearby marbles (3) on the ledge, then drop down to the lower brick ledge and take a blue and purple marble (7). As soon as you grab them, the wall will open up, revealing a cockroach! This is an enemy as you would expect, and you must avoid it at all costs. Follow the trail of four blue marbles (11) around the corner, then jump across to the brick ledge. Since you are out of the enemy's range, you will learn the next trick. You can crush the cockroaches against the walls in 2D mode, so go ahead and do that now. With the enemy crushed, grab the rest of the marbles (30) and walk to the south end of the large white platform (while in 2D). Then, uncrush to 3D and drop down to the starting area. The exit is in the room where the enemy emerged. ========================== Area 6: ...Gathers No Moss ========================== Marbles: 30 From the start, follow the path of four marbles (4) leading along the white platform to the ball, then push the ball straight ahead. Double back to where you started and jump over the brick wall leading to the roller. Grab another marble (5) and get to the other side by the roller, then jump onto it. Make sure the camera angle is set so that the green ball is to the left, then crush into 2D mode. Jump across the brick ledges to the right, and while standing on the rightmost ledge, uncrush to 3D. Drop onto the hidden ledge behind the brick wall to find a red marble (15), then jump over the wall to the other side where you will find the Trophy Thought on the wall. Push the roller can to the opposite side and grab the marble (16), then from here continue along the white path to the opposite end of the level. Make sure you grab the Checkpoint and the purple marble in the air near it (23). Once you reach the end of the path, go back to the Checkpoint and jump to the other side of the ball. With the top-down view, crush to 2D and push the ball further along to the left. It will now hit the wall as a result of the flattened playing field. From there, push the ball around the corner to the next brick wall. Follow the ball around the corner and uncrush back to 3D. Turn the camera so the Trophy Thought wall at the other end is in the background. You will see a small alcove surrounded by brick walls in the background. Line up with it and crouch down, then crush to 2D. In the alcove, collect the Trophy, then uncrush back to 3D. Next, go to the large brick wall to the right and switch to a top-down view. Crush to 2D and walk ahead to the brick wall, then uncrush and jump to reach the lone marble (24). Be sure to push the ball down the steps ahead to its resting place against the last brick wall. Continue down the steps ahead and jump above the ball to get a single marble (25), then stand next to the bottom white step and crush the area into 2D. Because you were low enough, you can walk to the left along the hollow ledge into the otherwise enclosed area. Grab another marble (26), the Memory (by jumping from the roller), and the Checkpoint in this area. Go back out of this alcove via the hollow ledges to the right, and uncrush again. Turn the camera angle twice so you see the other side of the section you're on, revealing a hidden purple marble. Crush to 2D and walk along the hollow ledges on that side to get the marble (29). Now, go back to the bottom area to the left and uncrush to 3D. Turn the camera around again, and jump from the ball to reach the top of the brick wall. At the other side, grab the last marble (30) and avoid the cockroach to reach the exit safely. ========================= Area 7: Dropping The Ball ========================= Marbles: 40 Starting off, go around the corner to the left to find a lone marble (1). In the middle area, you will see a stack of marbles in the air. Stand below them and turn the camera so the blue hollow ledges are in the background, then crush to 2D. Jump upward to grab four marbles (5), then stand on the brick platform and uncrush. Turn the camera as you go up the stairs, grabbing another marble (6) and the Checkpoint at the top. Switch to a top-down view and crush to 2D at this point. You will be able to access a lone marble (7) next to where the Checkpoint is. Stand in that space and uncrush to reach the lower area, then drop down to the lower ledge to reach a purple marble (10). Drop down to the bottom level and jump into a hidden alcove to find a red marble (20). Stand on the same small white square you came down here on, switch to the top-down view, and crush to get back to the Checkpoint. From here, uncrush to remain on the top level, and follow the path across to the ball. There are six total marbles (26) leading to the ball and surrounding it. Get to the other side of the ball and keep the top-down view, then crush again. Push the ball along the corridor to the opposite end, but before you follow it, walk along the side path to find a lone marble at the end. Before you grab it, stand towards the middle of that side path and uncrush. You should end up on a low ledge below the exit portal. Grab the purple marble there (29), then keep the top-down view and crush again to reach the upper area yet again. Continue to the end of the side path and grab the lone marble (30), then uncrush there and you will be atop an isolated tower of sorts. Turn the camera so you see the partial Trophy Thought on the wall below you, then crush to 2D so it combines with the other half, producing the Trophy. Grab it and the purple marble just below you (33), then jump back to the top level and uncrush. Go to the top-down view and walk back to the main area, and walk across to the ball which should now be next to the Checkpoint. Uncrush to reach the Checkpoint again, then jump from the adjacent brick ledge onto the ball, and from there onto the high ledge with the Memory. Next, get to the Checkpoint space with the top-down view and crush to 2D. Push the ball directly across into an open area to the side. Once it hits the wall, push the ball again to the side. Uncrush and you will be at the start again. Push the ball ahead and into the lower alcove where the cockroach is crawling around, and you will crush it. Jump from the ball to reach the ledge ahead. Grab the remaining marbles here (40) and exit the stage. ======================== Area 8: 7 Years Bad Luck ======================== Marbles: 30 As soon as you begin, take a moment to run the length of the ground level to collect a total of seven blue marbles (7) from end to end. In the center area, there is a narrow alcove where you can jump to grab a red marble (17). With that out of the way, go back to where you started. Set the camera angle so the hollow ledges are in the background and you are standing to the right of the ball. Crush to 2D and jump up the ledges and onto the ball, then uncrush and jump from the ball to the high ledge. Jump to the topmost ledge and take the purple marble (20) and the Checkpoint, then switch to the top-down view and walk over to the narrow white square directly next to the ball below. Crush to 2D and push the ball ahead, then uncrush immediately afterward. Change the camera angle so you can see the Lightheadedness Thought on the wall below, then crush to 2D and use the light effect to jump over the central gap, collecting seven marbles (27) on the way. At the other side, grab the last purple marble (30), but do not go to the exit just yet! Uncrush to 3D and switch to the top-down view again. Stand on the narrow white space directly above the ball below, and crush to 2D. Push the ball ahead, then uncrush and jump to the ledge by the exit. Drop onto the ball from above, switch the camera angle so the Trophy Thought is visible, and crush to 2D while atop the ball. Jump to the right to grab the Trophy in the air. Drop to the ground to the right of the ball, and push the ball back to the left wall. Stand on the blue ledge and uncrush back to 3D, then turn the camera angle so the ball is in the background. Move to the right and crush to 2D, and head right to grab the Memory. Walk back to the left and uncrush, then switch to the top-down view and crush again to get back to the upper ledges. Uncrush once you get past the ball, and continue up to the exit. ==================== Area 9: Under & Over ==================== Marbles: 40 From the start, go down the lower path to the right and grab the first three marbles (3). At the end, turn the camera angle so the purple marble on the ledge above is in the foreground, then crush to 2D and continue to the right edge of the path. Uncrush and you will end up at the other end of the area. First, jump up the white blocks and grab the blue and purple marbles at the top (7). Then, go back down the steps and jump across to the upper brick ledge. Take another blue and purple marble (11), and drop to the lower area where you will find five more marbles (16). At the end of that path, switch to the top-down view and crush to 2D to emerge at the top area. Grab the marble on the adjacent white ledge (17) and uncrush, then grab the other blue marble on the left side of the platform (18). Stand on the white platform and push the ball so it falls to the lower central area. Before you continue, switch the camera angle so you see the Trophy Thought on the wall in the background. Stand directly behind the square hole in the current platform and crouch, then crush to 2D. You will end up in a crawlspace where the Trophy will appear. Next, uncrush and drop to the small brick ledge to the right, and grab a marble there (19). From here, drop down to the starting area and you will see a small brick ledge ahead by where the ball ended up. Jump from it to the lowest of the brick ledges with marbles above them, and collect just the one marble for now (20). Go to the ball and switch to a top-down view, then crush to 2D. Push the ball to the far end of the white path, and uncrush again. Jump from the ball to reach the ledge above it, and grab four marbles (24) but ignore the exit for now. Switch to the top-down view and crush/uncrush until the cockroach on the top ledge is squished to death. With that done, uncrush and look to the side to spot a low brick wall next to a tall brick tower. Jump onto the wall and stand next to the tower, then change the camera so the rest of the stage is in the background, and crush to 2D. With the area crushed, jump to the next brick ledge to the left and grab a marble (25). Uncrush to end up at the opposite end of the area once more. Grab a single marble (26) above, then follow the high path to find a red marble (36). With the cockroach platform in the background directly ahead, crush to 2D. Grab the purple marble (39) and walk to the rightmost edge of the platform before uncrushing. Now that you are on the top ledge safely, turn the camera angle so the ledge with the Memory is in the background in the right corner. Crush to 2D and jump to that ledge to obtain the Memory, then drop down and uncrush. Turn the camera to spot one more lone marble (40) on a slightly lower ledge, and finally drop to the exit to complete the stage. ============================== Tutorial 6: Rocks In Your Head ============================== Marbles: 20 You will find yourself in another tutorial here. This one introduces moving blocks and the blue switches that trigger them. Grab the first three marbles (3) and step on the blue switch to cause one of the brick blocks in the background to move downward. The block rises back up when you leave the blue switch, but that will be resolved by a green switch ahead. Grab five marbles (8) leading to it, and step on the green switch which lowers the brick block with a ball permanently. Grab the Checkpoint and crush to 2D so the ball and both switches are along the same plane. Push the ball to the left where it will rest on the blue switch, keeping the left brick block lowered. With one last note about the switches staying pressed for a limited time, jump to the top ledge and grab the remaining marbles (20) before exiting. ====================== Area 10: Tin Can Alley ====================== Marbles: 30 From the start, you will see steps comprised of hollow blocks leading to a roller at the top. There is a path to the left of the stairs at ground level. Follow it around to get five marbles (5) and a Checkpoint. Go back around to the stairs and walk up the first couple steps, then turn the camera if the stairs are not in the background. Crush to 2D and grab a lone marble in the middle (6), and jump up the hollow ledges to the left side of the roller at the top. Push it to the right to crush the cockroach below. Next, jump to the top area and grab three marbles (9). Uncrush to reach the purple marble on the right brick ledge (12). To the left of the stairs is another brick path. Follow it around, jumping over the gap in the middle, to find a red marble in an alcove (22). Go back to the stairs and continue to the right on the ground this time. Grab one marble (23) and drop to the lower ledge to grab another one (24). Crush to 2D and move to the left by jumping and crouching to reach the Memory. After that, jump up the left hollow ledges and uncrush back to 3D. This time, go right and jump across the roller to reach the new ledges ahead. Grab the purple marble in the foreground (27) and fall to the ledge below. Step on the green switch to raise a block nearby, then crush to 2D and jump up the hollow block ledges to get back out. Uncrush and use the Checkpoint, then walk onto the newly raised platform and take the marble (28). When you get to it, change to the top-down view and crush again. Walk onto the larger white platform and grab the marble (29), then uncrush to reveal the exit. Ignoring it of course, walk to the back edge of the platform to spot a green switch far below. With the top-down view still, crush again and DO NOT press that switch. Get around it and jump to the ledge where the last marble waits (30). Uncrush at this point and turn the camera to reveal the Trophy Thought on the wall below you. Crush to activate it, and grab the Trophy to the left. Jump up the hollow ledges to the top before uncrushing, and you will be back by the Checkpoint. Walk onto the white platform you raised before, switch to the top-down view, and crush to 2D to reach the exit above. ========================== Area 11: A Sinking Feeling ========================== Marbles: 40 From the start, go right and jump to the right ledges, grabbing two marbles (2). Crush to 2D and jump onto the first hollow ledge above. When the moving platform starts heading back to the left, jump from it to the top ledge, take two marbles (4) and go left. Drop onto the platform as it passes the wall below, grabbing another marble ahead (5). When you reach the ledge at the opposite end, jump onto it and take two more marbles (7). Uncrush at this point and turn the camera so the moving platform is in the background. Crush again and grab two marbles (9), then jump up the ledges to the left. Take the Checkpoint and another marble (10), and uncrush to 3D at the other side. You will see a couple of steps hidden behind the ledges you are on. Drop onto them to grab those two marbles (12). Jump back to the ledge above and switch to a side view, then crush to 2D again. Hop across the gap and take a marble (13), then ride the vertically-moving ledge at the left edge of the area downward. As you ride downward, take another marble (14), then disembark at the bottom and take another marble from the ledge there (15). Go right to the Checkpoint and a purple marble (18), then ride the platform back up to the top. Uncrush to 3D and turn the camera to the left, so the rest of the area is in the background. At the top, walk onto the narrow ledge behind the platform, and walk to the left before crushing again. After crushing back to 2D, jump across to the next ledge and take the marble there (19), and you will see another platform moving up and down. Ride the platform up and down, grabbing a total of six marbles (25). Towards the low point of the ride, crush to 2D and you will be able to reach a lone blue marble to the left of the ledge (26). Jump to the right ledge and grab the purple marble there as well (29). When the platform comes back down, board it and uncrush to 3D again. About halfway up, you will see a platform to the right. Jump around the wall and onto that platform, then collect a blue and red marble (40) to complete your collection. Jump onto the moving platform yet again and ride it to the top of the level. You will see the exit here, but do not use it yet. Walk along the narrow ledge surrounding where the moving platform rises, and turn the camera angle so that the Thoughts on the wall below are lined up properly (you may need to zoom out to see them). Once you do that, drop off the left side of the narrow ledge and you will end up on the yellow hollow block directly left of the Lightheadedness Thought. Crush to 2D to activate it, then jump to the left and grab the Memory before quickly landing back on the right ledge. After that, drop off the left side of the ledge. As you fall, you will activate the Trophy Thought. When you reach the ledge below, the Trophy will be there, so grab it. Take the Checkpoint and jump onto the moving platform when it arrives. Uncrush back to 3D and ride it to the top, then use the exit to complete the stage. ======================== Tutorial 7: Dirty Sheets ======================== Marbles: 25 For this tutorial, you will be introduced to another element known as sheets. Sheets are too thin to be walked on in 3D, but when crushed to 2D, they act as typical hollow ledges. Crush to demonstrate this, and grab the first marble (1) as you walk across. At the other side, you will find a chasm that seems impossible to cross. If you uncrush, you will find a wide but thin platform waiting for you. Grab the purple and blue marbles (9) to proceed. Up ahead, crush to clear the thin wall blocking access to the exit. However, you don't have enough marbles to exit anyway, but you will discover a Dimension Thought below. This prevents you from uncrushing if it is active, which you will test here. With that said, more marbles will appear ahead, so slide down the ramp to grab five more (14). At the bottom, since the Thought is now off-screen, you can uncrush to 3D. After you do that, grab the blue and red marble (25) to finish up. The ramp is still there but it is too slippery for you to run back up. Switch to a top-down view and crush to 2D, then walk across the flattened ramp to exit. ===================== Tutorial 8: Rocky Too ===================== Marbles: 20 The break will segue into another tutorial stage, this time introducing octaballs. Begin by grabbing the six marbles ahead (6) as you approach the opposite wall. Crush to 2D and jump up the hollow ledges to the top, then uncrush to reach the larger green switch and another marble (7). You will not be able to press the switch with your weight alone, but an octaball is waiting around the corner. An octaball acts as a regular ball, but you can push it one space at a time due to its flattened edges. With this in mind, go around and push the octaball onto the switch. It will open up a couple of ledges with marbles so you can reach the exit. Jump up the ledges to grab the purple and red marbles (20), then proceed to the exit. ========================= Area 12: Beach Volleyball ========================= Marbles: 50 Here, begin by grabbing the six blue marbles (6) along the ground level. Jump to the ledge in front of the wall full of hollow ledges, and crush to 2D. Jump up the ledges to get three more marbles (9) and a Checkpoint at the top. You will see the Dimension and Trophy Thoughts activate below as well. For now, push the ball to the left so it blocks the Dimension Trophy. Go left and drop down, collecting three more marbles (12), then uncrush while standing atop the ball. Once in 3D mode, the switch will be pressed, causing a couple of the blocks to shift around. Crush to 2D again and grab the two purple marbles (18), then head all the way right to reach the Trophy now accessible by one of the moving blocks. Go back to the main area and push the ball off the edge of the stage (it will respawn at the top, not to worry). Then, jump up the hollow ledges again and uncrush at the top. At the top, turn the camera around so you see the opposite half of the stage in the foreground, with the ramp to the right. Push the ball towards the ramp, where it will rest, then jump onto the ball itself. You will see small ledges with marbles to the right of the ramp as well as along the ramp itself. From your perch atop the ball, jump over the ramp to the small ledges on the other side, and collect the blue and red marbles (30). At the bottom ledge, there is an opening you can walk through to reach the central area. Once there, collect the four blue marbles in the square formation and the lone purple marble (37), and turn the camera so the hollow ledges are in the background, then crush to 2D. Jump up the ledges, grabbing a single marble (38) on the way up. Take the Checkpoint at the top, then go back to the ramp. This time, ride the ramp straight down to pick up the purple and blue marbles (43). In the alcove you fall into at the bottom of the ramp, collect three more marbles (46). Turn the camera angle so the exit portal is on the ledge to the right, then crush to 2D. Crouch and crawl through the path to the left to retrieve the Memory. Crawl back out and uncrush, then switch to a top-down view and crush again to reach the Checkpoint on the upper ledge. From here, uncrush to 3D and look toward the exit ledge. You need to run and jump over the lower area to reach the exit. Once you get over there, grab the remaining four marbles (50) and exit the stage. ===================== Area 13: On The Rocks ===================== Marbles: 40 Starting off, crush to 2D and jump up the hollow ledges along this side of the tower, grabbing three blue and a purple marble on the way (6). Crawl through the opening on the left side to reach the ledge at the other end, then uncrush. Turn the camera around the corner and drop to the lower area, and crush again to 2D. On this side, you will see a thin sheet passing across the area every few seconds. It will temporarily hide the brick/hollow blocks, so be prepared to jump when you see the sheet coming to avoid falling to your death. Jump up the ledges here to get four marbles (10), then walk through the opening to the left and drop down before uncrushing again. Turn the camera and drop down to the Checkpoint, then crush once more. This time, avoid the sheet as you get to the ledge on the right side. Stand on the hollow part of the outer right ledge and uncrush to 3D. You will end up on the opposite side of the tower. Turn the camera twice and crush again to activate the Trophy Thought on this side, then jump up to retrieve the Trophy. Next, uncrush and turn the camera twice to the opposite side, and crush yet again. Go back down to the Checkpoint, then make your way up the hollow ledges while avoiding the clearing sheet, grabbing yourself six marbles (16). At the top, go left and drop straight down to the solid ledge below. Uncrush at that point and turn the camera twice to find a hidden hole containing the Memory. Crawl in to grab it, then stand on the thin ledge to the right and crush again. Turn the camera twice and uncrush to return to the side you were on before. From here, drop down to the lower left ledge and uncrush yet again. Turn the camera to the left and drop to the fourth side of the tower (there will be purple marbles in the foreground). Crush to 2D and collect the two purple marbles and one blue marble at the bottom area (23), then wait on the right side for the sheet to move across. When it obscures the solid block in the middle, quickly jump across to the hollow ledges on the left side. Continue moving upward while grabbing more marbles (29), then jump to the topmost ledge and uncrush. Here, you will find the exit portal on the center platform at the top. For now, we will ignore it of course. Grab the single marble (30) on the center step and move to the right side, then turn the camera to the opposite side of the tower. Run across to the foreground yourself, and you will see a red marble in the distance with hollow blocks below. Move to the rightmost end where there is a gap in the line of hollow ledges below, and wait for the sheet to move across. When it's gone, quickly crush to 2D and drop down, and crawl to the left to get the red marble (40). To escape, quickly jump up to the top and uncrush. Once you are done with that, all that's left is exiting the stage, so go on. ==================== Area 14: Jolly Roger ==================== Marbles: 30 From the start, walk directly across to the opposite side of the stage. Turn the camera twice and you will spot the Trophy Thought on the wall below. Stand along the narrow green block along the edge and crush to 2D, then drop down and crouch through the narrow passage below to get the Trophy. Crawl back out and get onto the green beam above, and uncrush back to 3D. With that out of the way, it's time to collect all of the marbles on the ground level. There are a total of 12 blue marbles (12) you can collect by wandering around the main area, as well as along a green beam jutting out over the gap near the ball. After you are done collecting, go back to where the ball is. You will see it on an elevated ledge with three tall green towers behind it. Line up the camera angle so those three beams are directly behind the ball, then crush to 2D. If you did this correctly, you will see the red marble above sitting between the rightmost two beams. Push the ball to the left, and it will hit a green wall ahead (the camera will skip, as if a cutscene is triggered, so you will know this was the correct move). With that done, uncrush and switch to a top-down view, then push the ball directly across the middle area (another auto-pan of the camera will take place). Next, grab the Checkpoint and a purple marble nearby (15). Go to the ball and uncrush back to 3D. Pick up the lone marble (16), and turn the camera so that the exit portal is out in the distant background. Push the ball straight at it; the ball will drop off the high ledge, cross the ghost block, and rest at the opposite wall. Now that the ball is in position, jump across to a green block ledge where a purple marble (19) is resting. Jump back over to the larger platform and turn the camera around so you can see the three green towers. Jump across to the lowest one, then hop up to the top to grab the Memory. Hop back down to the first of the three steps, and drop onto the green block between the first two steps. Use the ledge alongside it to reach the red marble (29) between the highest two steps. From here, drop down to the lower area (do not jump, simply fall off). Turn the camera so you have a side view of the stage, and walk along the green path jutting over the wide gap, parallel to the ghost block that the ball went across. At the end, crush to 2D and you should be able to jump onto the ball. Use it to reach the next ledge and grab the last marble (30). After that, uncrush and walk around to the exit. ================= Area 15: Dive In! ================= Marbles: 30 Starting off, grab the two marbles on the green block you start on (2). While on the more narrow green beam in the background, turn the camera around twice to reveal the Memory to the right. Crush to 2D and crawl over to get it, then crawl out and uncrush. Turn the camera again twice and move back to the starting point. Crush to 2D again and push the ball to the right, causing it to rest against a short green block. Go across and take two blue marbles (4), then uncrush and switch to the top- down view. Crush again and push the ball over to the now lowered green wall to stop the ball. Uncrush and jump from the hollow ledge onto the ball, and onto the higher ledge. Grab the Checkpoint and another marble (5), then turn the camera to the left once and crush again. Grab two marbles (7) and jump to the ledge with the next ball on it. Uncrush and run past the ball, making sure to take the purple marble (10) and a lone marble (11) hovering over the far ledge. From the blue marble, turn the camera so the ball is in the background to the right, and crush to 2D. Walk left along the hollow ledge to the end, take the marble (12), then uncrush and turn the camera around twice before crushing yet again. This should activate the Trophy Thought on the wall, provided you turned the camera around to reveal it. Jump to take the Trophy. From here, uncrush and turn the camera to the right once, so you can see the red marble in an alcove below. Crush to 2D so you can reach the Checkpoint on the left ledge, then go down and right to the red marble (22). Uncrush and turn the camera left once, and crush again. Go left and jump over the small gap to reach the lone blue marble (23), and then uncrush once more. Next, make your way back up the ledges like you did before until you reach the second ball again. This time, while in 3D, push the second ball straight ahead so it stops next to a hollow block. Turn the camera to a side view, where the main part of the level is on the right side. Crush to 2D at this point and push the ball right so it hits the short green wall. Jump from the hollow ledge to the left and onto the ball, then continue to the ledges above. Now, make your way to the top of the stage while grabbing the final seven blue marbles (30). You will see a switch on the ledge below; drop onto the switch and one of the walls above will move (in 3D) to grant access to the exit. Crawl through the opening to the right and run back up the stairs to the top, then uncrush to 3D and exit the stage. =========================== Tutorial 9: On Shaky Ground =========================== Marbles: 20 You will find yourself in yet another tutorial here. Fragile blocks are the new obstacle introduced here. These blocks will crumble as you step onto them, so you need to keep moving in order to avoid falling (they do regenerate though). Begin by crushing to 2D, then run across the fragile blocks while grabbing six marbles (6) and the Checkpoint at the end. For the second half of this stage, crush to 2D again to line up the fragile blocks. Then, run and jump across the blocks and gaps, grab one of each color marble (20), and exit the tutorial. ========================= Area 16: Lost On Vacation ========================= Marbles: 40 NOTE: For most of this stage, you may want to stick with the top-down view while at ground level to make navigating the maze easier. Starting off, follow the path to the ball at the center of the intersection. Push it forward and you will find a large green switch to the north. First, go south to grab four marbles (4) and the Checkpoint. Then, go north to the switch and jump to the adjacent ledge to take another purple marble (7). Jump across to the opposite ledge, and you will see two fragile blocks in the corner. Turn the camera to the side so that the Memory above is to the right, then stand on the fragile blocks to clear the first one. Once you hit the second one, crush to 2D. With the area flattened, grab the red marble (17) in the right alcove, then go back onto the hollow ledge and uncrush to escape. Continue around the maze to the other side of the ball, and push it forward so it falls into the pit ahead. Once you do that, walk forward to the edge of the path and turn the camera so the rest of the level is in the background, and crush to 2D. Head to the left and grab five marbles (22), then head back to the right. Stand under the hollow ledge and uncrush, and turn the camera once to the right (so the isolated tower is to the left). Crush and walk to the left, and uncrush. You will now be on the side of the ball opposite the switch. Push the ball onto the switch, which will cause the blocks above to shift around. Go around to the other side of the ball, and jump from the ledge onto the ball, continuing to the upper platform. Use the Checkpoint and switch to the top- down view before crushing again. Take the first marble (23) up here and uncrush, then look over the short green ledge to the side. Jump across the hall below to reach the platform with a purple marble above it. Take that purple marble (26), then turn the camera so the Trophy Thought below is lined up. Walk to the lower-left edge of the platform and crush, then drop down and collect the Trophy. Jump up the hollow ledges and uncrush at the top, then drop down to the middle area, make your way back to the ball atop the switch, and get to the upper area once more. This time, follow the arc of blue marbles (29) as you jump across to the next platform. Turn the camera so that the isolated pillar with the purple marble on top of it is in the foreground, then crush to 2D. Go right and drop down to collect that purple marble (32), and continue right while jumping to collect a few more marbles (36). At the rightmost ledge, uncrush to 3D mode once more. Turn the camera around to spot the Memory on a somewhat hidden ledge behind the block you are on. Grab it, then turn the camera so that the exit portal above is to the side. The remaining marbles are in the air ahead, so jump across to grab them (40) and continue up to reach the exit. ================= Area 17: Old Giza ================= Marbles: 50 From where you start, you will see a structure behind you with the Memory hiding in an alcove behind it. Turn the camera so the side facing the abyss is in front, then crush to 2D and walk to the left end of the path, grabbing a marble (1) there. Uncrush and grab the Memory from the alcove, then crush and walk back across to where you started. This time, go forward to the main pyramid structure. Run around the perimeter at ground level to find three more marbles (4). Back at the start, jump up the low ledges to reach the next tier. Grab the four marbles (8), one at each corner, then head over by the ball. Stand in the corner where the Checkpoint is, and turn the camera so the ball and the rest of the stage is to the right, then crush to 2D. Push the ball to the right so it hits the now flattened wall, and then uncrush. Run directly to the right, where you will find a slightly more elevated platform in the opposite corner. Turn the camera so the ball is again to the right, then crush to 2D and jump onto the ball. Uncrush and jump to the upper tier next. Up here, grab another four marbles (12) in each corner. In the middle, there is an alcove where you can find a purple marble (15) and a switch. Press the switch to move a few of the solid green blocks around. After you do that, get to the corner closest to the ball on this level, and turn the camera so the ball is to your right, hiding the Checkpoint behind it. Crush to 2D and push the ball across to the right. From here, uncrush and run around so you can reach the ledges next to the ball now, and jump to the uppermost level. Finally at the top, grab the purple marble (18) and hit the switch to move some more blocks around. Turn the camera to a top-down view and crush to activate the Trophy Thought, which is now fully visible on the flattened floor. This will also cause a whole lot of marbles to fill the maze-like path ahead of you (the marbles are only accessible if you crush from above while standing on the highest level, so keep that in mind). Begin by following the path, grabbing the first 11 marbles (29) and the Trophy in an adjacent alcove. When you come to the first ball, uncrush and push the ball forward until it falls out of the stage. Quickly crush back to 2D and run southward to the wall blocking access to the flattened center area. When you get there, uncrush to pass "through" the wall, and crush again at the other side. Move to the center area and uncrush/crush to realign the marbles in the maze. With all that done, you should be able to navigate the rest of the maze, obtaining the remaining blue and red marbles (50) and reaching the exit at the end. ==================== Area 18: Castle Rock ==================== Marbles: 50 When you begin, you will notice that there are switches in each corner. Each switch has a color associated with it, which will move small blocks in the center area. For now, begin by running the perimeter of the ground level, collecting a total of 14 marbles (14). Once you do that, go back to the beginning and switch to a top-down view before crushing to 2D. Push the octaball against the edge of the level, picking up a hidden marble (15), then move it onto the blue switch to move the small blue block. Next, uncrush and go around to the opposite side to find another octaball. Crush from above again and push the octaball against the wall, then all the way over to the green switch. Be sure to grab the purple marble (18) first. With all four blocks in the center lined up, it's time to move on. Uncrush and switch to a side view, and look to the center area. You will see a small ledge you can jump into, with a moving block platform above. Grab two marbles (20) and jump onto the platform when it moves downward. Stand on its right edge and crush to 2D from the side. When the platform moves upward at its rightmost point, jump to the ledge above to get another marble (21) and the Checkpoint. Uncrush at the Checkpoint ledge and turn the camera to the right once. There are steps leading downward, but with a column moving up and down to restrict access. Go down and take a marble (22), crawl through at the bottom when you can to get the Memory, then crawl back out and reclaim the Checkpoint. Switch to the top-down view and crush again. This will activate the Dimension Thought, but that is okay for now. Follow the narrow path along, crossing the bridge of blocks, and grabbing five more marbles at the other side (27). Get to the far end of the path and uncrush to find yourself by a new Checkpoint. Next, turn the camera so you see the fragile blocks to the right. Grab the lone marble (28) and walk across to those blocks, then turn the camera to the right and stand on both sets of fragile blocks to crumble them. On the hollow ledge below, stand on the right edge and crush to 2D. In the flattened background area now, collect a marble (29) and drop down to the bottom area before uncrushing. You will now be able to grab the red marble (39). Since you can't get back up from here, drop out to the ground below and follow the same path as before to reach the second Checkpoint above (after crossing the colored blocks). Once you get back up there, turn the camera to the side and you will see some steps and marbles to the left of the Checkpoint. Grab three marbles (42) and stand on the yellow block before crushing. You will be able to grab the purple marble here (45). While in flat mode, jump to the right ledge so you can uncrush. Do that and jump back out to the Checkpoint above. Stand on the edge of the hollow block before the narrow green bridge leading to the fragile blocks. This time, turn the camera around so that the Trophy Thought is in the distance on the left side (if you turn the camera and look around, you will see it. Crush and you should end up standing right where the Trophy will appear. After you grab it, uncrush once more and grab the Checkpoint yet again. Jump to the slightly elevated ledge next to it and make sure the marbles in the air in the background are to the left, then crush to 2D. Now that the background is flattened, you can go left and grab three blue marbles at once (48). Uncrush and go back to the Checkpoint, then while the exit portal is to the right, crush again to make steps leading up to it. Before going through the exit though, uncrush and turn the camera once to the right. Crush to flatten the background, and walk to the lowest point of the green ledge to the left, and uncrush there. You will end up in the background next to the Dimension Thought. Jump across and drop into the alcove on the other side of it, then turn the camera so one of the marbles lines up behind you. Crush/uncrush to grab it (49). For the final marble, switch to a top-down view and jump out of the alcove you are in, moving to the side to grab the marble (50). Land on the colored blocks below to be safe, then make your way back to the top level as you did before and continue to the exit! =================== Area 19: Avalanche! =================== Marbles: 40 I'd start in a top-down view, for now. Go forward and jump across the gap for one blue marble (1), then go right and along the path for three more and a purple one (7). Return to where you turned right at, then go left and up to find one more blue marble (8). Go up some to find another blue marble and down and right to another one (10). Grab the Checkpoint nearby, then get on the left side of the octaball. Push it to the right, then get on the Checkpoint side. Crush and push it south until you reach a wall. Uncrush and push it into the intersection where the balls keep falling. Push it left now, into the wall; some balls may come to impede you, so push them out of the way if needed. Pick up the marble atop the nearby staircase (11). Now, you'll want to push the octaball north towards the big wall from earlier. (For some reason, I already has a ball there; it will suffice for this, too.) Do a top-down crush and push the ball/octaball north onto the big switch. Go there, too, and grab the purple marble (14), then jump from the ball to the platform with the Checkpoint. Change the camera to face the wall to the left, then crush. Go right and up the platforms to a blue marble (15). At the top of those platforms, crawl to the left and onto the platform above, then jump to the purple marble (18). Go into the gap on the left and stand up before the end to get the blue marble (19). Uncrush, go into the gap, and crawl to the right to get another blue marble (20). Get underneath the short platform above, then crush. Go back to where you where prior to uncrushing. Instead of uncrushing, jump onto the platform and crawl left to the blue marble (21). Uncrush upon grabbing it and grab the nearby blue marble (22). Get in front of the sand wall nearby and crush, then grab the nearby blue marble (23). Uncrush, grab the nearby blue marble (24), then go down the incline nearby for your Memory. Now, let's go back up to the switch near the Checkpoint. Grab it, then face the wall to the left and crush. Climb up the platforms as before. At the area with the overhang, uncrush and go into the alcove for a red marble (34). Now, go south and left, into the pit to the left. Crush there and jump left, across the gap, to find a purple marble (37). Ignore the exit for now. Instead, go right and onto a different metal platform. Uncrush and take the octaball so that it half-covers the Trophy Thought. Jump onto it and get as far left as possible. Crush while the Trophy Thought is facing you (the player) and get the purple marble (40). Now, onto the trophy... Push the octaball back to where it was, out of the way of the Trophy Thought. There is a long path that the Trophy Thought is facing; go to its end. While facing the Trophy Thought, get onto the metal platform on the left, crush, then jump right across the gap to the Trophy. Uncrush now. Onto the exit... Remember where the big switch was? Jump from the ball/octaball onto the platform with the Checkpoint. Face the big wall and crush. Go through the platforms as before to the one with the overhang. Uncrush here, then go south and left into the pit. Crush, then jump left to the platform with the exit. ============================ Area 20: A Tale of Two Piers ============================ Marbles: 40 Begin by putting the camera behind Danny. Go north to a blue marble and a Checkpoint (1), then south to a blue marble (2). Go west to find a blue marble (3), then do a top-down crush to get the purple marble (6) atop the Trophy Thought. There is a Dimensional Thought on it, too, so you'll have to back off before uncrushing. Speaking of the Trophy Thought, face it with the camera and crush from beneath the "arch". Get on its right side and wait for a moving block to come by. Once it does, use it to jump onto the metal blocks of the arch to reach the Trophy on top. If you didn't already, grab the blue marble (7) to the right of the arch, then uncrush. Now, go to the back of the block where the Trophy Thought once was. Around back in an alcove are two blue marbles (9), with another one a bit further along this pier (10). Continue towards the structure at the end to find one more (11). Then go to the back of it to find a Checkpoint. Head inside the structure for a purple marble (14) and a switch; stand on it. Now, get outside of the structure and onto the side with the Checkpoint. Make the camera have the Checkpoint and the right side of the structure on-screen, then crush. Go down the "stairs" to a blue marble (15) and uncrush. Make the camera turn 180 degrees and crush again. Jump right across the gap and go right for a while, collecting the blue marble (16) over the fragile blocks on the way. Use the Checkpoint at the end, then uncrush. Turn the camera so that you're facing the bridge connecting the two piers. Get on the left side of the metal block you're on, then crush. Get the blue marble (17), then onto the top platform. Uncrush and tap Left on the D-Pad to turn the camera, then crush to get two blue marbles (19) in the same one you see when crushed. Get atop the stairs to the right and grab the blue marble (20). Jump across the gap to the right, then jump up the platforms to get level with the switch. First, uncrush and grab the blue marble (21), then step on the switch. Now, crush and crawl into the gap on the right, standing up to grab the two blue marbles (23) as you go. On the other side, uncrush and go right to the purple marble (26) in the alcove. Outside the alcove, face the platform at the end of the pier. Crush, then get on the far right end. Uncrush and go around to the back of this platform. In the alcove, you'll find a red marble (36). Face the left pier and crush. Jump left across the gap to the Checkpoint. Now, head towards the bridge connecting the two piers. As you do, you'll notice some raised blocks on either side between the switch and the ex-Trophy Thought's structures. Stand on them and face the right pier, then crush. Climb up the platforms there to reach the top where two more blue marbles (38) lie. Okay, we're going to find the Memory, next. Remember that staircase of metal blocks near the switch's structure of the left pier? Crush and use it, as before. Go to the end and use the Checkpoint, then uncrush. Face the bridge connecting the two piers, get on the left side of your block, and crush. Get atop the platforms and uncrush. Go along the length of the bridge to a gap; there, have the camera face the bridge, crush, and go right to the end. Uncrush and go around the corner to find the Memory. Then backtrack to the other end of the bridge, turn the camera facing the left pier, and crush. Use the stairs to get to the top of the platforms on the left side of the pier, when crushed. Uncrush now to end up on the left pier. Cross over, via the bridge, to the right pier. There will be small staircase here, made by the switch from before. Have the camera face the beam of the light marking the exit and crush. Use the small platform to reach both blue marbles (40), then, from one of the side ledges, uncrush and go around back to the exit. ====================== Area 21: The Big Climb ====================== Marbles: 40 Upon arriving, get on the left half of the start platform and crush. Wait for a platform to move within vertical jumping distance and use it to reach the purple marble (3). Repeat this exact same thing on the right half of the platform to get another purple marble (6). Now, while on the right side of this platform, switch to a top-down view to find a girder. Cross it and go around to the back of the extra-large wall to find the Memory for this area. Go back to the main platform and crush on the center of it, then use the moving platforms as steps to the top, grabbing ten blue marbles (16) on the way. At the top, grab the nearby blue marble and purple marble (20). Uncrush and go left and south to another two blue marbles (22). Go north to the Checkpoint and do a top-down crush to reach the blue marble (23). Now, see those overlapping platforms? Cross this to the blue marble (24) on the left, then get the Memory nearby. Process to the red marble (34), then go back to where you started with the Checkpoint. Uncrush and go south to the end, then do a top-down crush. Go right and, on the long middle platform, uncrush. Grab the two purple marbles (40) here, then move the camera so that it's facing the Trophy Thought halves. On the left side of your current platform, with the camera as previously mentioned, crush and grab the Trophy. Then crawl under the gap to the middle of the platform and, as before, use the moving platforms above to reach the top. There, uncrush and collect the Checkpoint. Do a top-down crush there and cross the overlapping platforms to reach the exit. =================== Area 22: Snookered! =================== Marbles: 40 I'd start with a top-down view. Grab the two marbles (2) north of you, then the two blue marbles and one purple marble (7) to the west on the metal platform. Use the platform branching off to the west to find four more blue marbles (11). Now, turn the camera to face the Trophy Thought. Crawl onto the top of the two fragile blocks, then crawl onto the lower one. QUICKLY crush and automatically grab the Trophy as a result, then crawl west onto solid ground. Uncrush and return to the starting area. On the east side of this platform, you'll find some stair-like platforms; use them and collect the four blue marbles (15) on the way. Then get back on the starting platform and push the ball to the left (assuming the stairs are to the right of you). Then perform a crush where the blue switches are close to the camera. Now, press the right blue switch to make the ball go up with the platform. When it is at the top, press the left blue switch to make a platform above smack the ball down onto the other side. Now, while you're still crushed like this, press the right blue switch and get onto the moving platform. This time, jump to the platform that smacked the ball. Uncrush there and make it where the camera faces that red marble. Crush and grab it (25), then grab the blue marbles grouped as three nearby (28), and then the purple marble (31) combined with the Checkpoint. At the Checkpoint, uncrush and then do a top-down crush. Grab the blue marble nearby (32) and uncrush from the platform it was on. Grab the three blue marbles nearby (35), then drop down onto the ledge below to find two blue marbles and a purple marble (40). Drop down back onto the start platform. There, activate the moving platform in 3D (with the switch nearest the staircase). Now, see that dark gray platform it was on? Get on there and have the camera be from the angle which places the stairs on your left and not from above. On the left third of the platform, crush and you'll fall near the Memory. Grab it and get back onto the start platform. Uncrush. Use the switch nearest the stairs to get the platform to move again and go to the top with it. There, cross the ledge over to the Checkpoint. Angle the camera so that the left part of the screen is blocked by gray wall and crush. Get to the left side of the platform and uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad and crush again. Grab the Checkpoint, uncrush, then get onto the light-gray platform. Do a top-down crush, get onto the other platform, and uncrush. Move the camera so that the exit light is on the right side of the screen. Crush and head over to that light to exit the level. ========================= Area 23: The Ferris Wheel ========================= Marbles: 50 First, do a top-down crush and grab the nearby blue marble (1). Uncrush and go forward and left to the purple marble (4) under the Ferris wheel. Then focus the camera so that it's facing the Ferris wheel. Crush and grab the two blue marbles (6) near the Trophy Thought; you probably should do so when on the ground. From here on out, I'll refer to various positions on the Ferris wheel. Assume the front is where the stairs are, and that clock positions are ... well, like the hands on the a clock. The top is 12 o'clock, the bottom is 6 o'clock, and so on. Now, hop right onto the Ferris wheel itself; I'll assume you jumped on from the left, from that narrow ledge. Hop onto the front ledge near the 4 o'clock position and move the camera to face left. Crush to get some marbles and jump to get more (23). Get back on a moving platform and ride around while crushed to get three more blue marbles (26). Now, ride up to the 12 o'clock position and drop off. Crush and grab the blue marble (27), then go right and crawl through the gap. Jump to the blue marble and crawl to the next one (29). Uncrush and make the camera face the back of the Ferris wheel before crushing. Crawl to the blue marble here (30), then ride a platform up to reach another blue one and a purple one (34). Continue to the 11 o'clock to find another three blue marbles (37), then ride to the 3 o'clock to find a purple marble and a blue marble (41). Now, you can see that Memory nearby, right? Get on last tile of the landing ledge and uncrush. Face the Ferris wheel's side and crush, but ONLY when a platform has just passed. Drop down to the Memory. Uncrush and get on the lower ledge nearby. Go left and across the gap to find four more blue marbles (45) by the time you reach the 8 o'clock. Get on a ledge there so we can continue with the front of the Ferris wheel. Around the 10 or 11 o'clock, you can get two more blue marbles (47). As you make the transition from 12 to 11 o'clock, you'll be able to drop down into a gap just left of the 12 o'clock to find a blue marble (48). Now, back to the back of the Ferris wheel. Ride around to the 8 o'clock and jump off there. Climb through the gap and go into the big pit where you're just above the Checkpoint when crushed. Uncrush to be on the other side; get the two marbles here (50). Now, from that metal platform between where the two marbles were, face the Ferris wheel and crush to activate the Trophy Thought. Jump to the Trophy, uncrush, then do a top-down crush and head over to the exit. ========================== Tutorial 10: Give And Take ========================== Marbles: 15 This time, we'll learn about portraits. Crushing a portal brings its subject to life; crush a cockroach portrait to get a cockroach, for example. Once you gain control, crush and the portrait there will come to life as a bunch of moving blocks; a blockwalker. It's harmful should you get touched by it, yet it can become a useful stepping stone when crushed properly. Once you regain control, crush and go right onto the blockwalker's platform. Get the ten marbles (10) on there after uncrushing (watch out for the blockwalker), then wait for the blockwalker to start turning the northwest corner before crushing. Use the platform on the left, then the blockwalker to reach the checkpoint. After regaining control, grab the remaining marbles nearby (15) and rotate the camera to face the exit. Crush and move to it to leave. ================= Area 24: Rush Job ================= Marbles: 50 Once you arrive, do a top-down crush and go left to the other side of the barrier. Have the camera face said barrier and crush to collect two blue marbles (2). Then use a top-down crush to get onto the barrier. Walk along to the blue switch. Grab the blue marble nearby (3). Now, step on the switch to move the blocks on the other side of the barrier from earlier; you know, where you got two marbles. Step on the switch and go there and jump from the platforms to get four blue marbles (7). Return to where the switch is. Turn the camera so that you can see two blue marbles on the wall. Crush and you can get them plus a purple marble (12), as well as a Trophy. Get back to the top and rotate the camera 180 degrees. Do a crush and go to the bottom of this small pit, then uncrush on the metal block. Upon uncrushing go left to the purple marble and right to the blue marble (16). Crush and get back to the switch. Uncrush, step on the switch, and go back to where the platforms separate. Drop off the edge of the main platform to find another one. Get the two blue marbles (18) and the Checkpoint nearby. Begin by crushing from the side to collect a blue marble (19), then uncrush and go around the corner to find a red marble (29). Crush and go down to the bottom for the Memory. Uncrush on the left side of the platform and press Left on the D-Pad and recrush. Climb back up the stairs here and go along the path to find three blue marbles (32). Grab them and the Checkpoint. Then get onto the platform that has the switch on it; don't worry now about it's function. Turn the camera until you see a blue marble in a tunnel; crush and crawl to it (33). Now go back to the multiple staircases. Go to the bottom and circle around the perimeter of the platform to find four more blue marbles (37) and a Checkpoint. At the very edge of the platform, do a top-down crush to reach the purple marble (40) by jumping across the gap. Now, step on the nearby blue switch to move a platform. Go back up all of the staircases and you'll notice another blue switch (you probably already had noticed it). Step on this one and get on the left edge of the platform you originally landed on (assuming that the switch is now behind you). Do a top-down crush, get on the platform above, and jump to the square platform. Wait for it to reach its original position and, there, grab the four blue marbles (44) on the platform. While the blockwalker is at the dead ends on the left side of the platform, crush so you can be able to use the Thought of Lightheadedness. Jump to the marbles you can see, two blue and one purple (49). Then jump onto the blockwalker and face the camera to the exit. Crush and grab the blue marble (50), then uncrush when on the platform. Head to the exit. ================= Area 25: Stackers ================= Marbles: 40 I'd begin by using a top-down view and running around the first platform, getting every marble I can get with basic jumping or running and, as far as crushes go, I used a top-down crush to see most of the marbles. If the marble is atop a block that is black, in a top-down crush, just jump over the other side of the gap to get the marble. Also remember the purple marble behind the big staircase. Also remember to get the Memory. From the staircase, with the camera facing its top, drop down into the gap between it and the right side of the bridge ahead, then crawl into the alcove behind you. By the time the platform was emptied, I had 16 marbles. Now, get onto the staircase and have the camera face it. Do a crush and get two more blue marbles (18) here. Get to the next-to-the-top platform and on either the right or left edge, then uncrush. Then empty this platform of its marbles. Remember the two under the bridge overhang. By the time this platform emptied, I had 24 marbles. Next, go to the two switches on the far side of the platform from the bridge. While facing it, press the one on the left to make a low-level bridge across. Next, push the ball towards the bridge to put it in an alcove under there. Get onto the starting platform now. There, crush and activate one of the ball portraits near the staircase; for reference, I'm using the one to the left of the stairs. Uncrush and push it off the ledge, then crush and push it further left to hit a wall on the other platform. Get onto that and platform trigger the other switch to raise the bridge. Do a top-down crush where the switches are to the south of you. Push the ball west, then go around and push it north. Uncrush and push it further into the alcove. Do the above process with the other ball portrait on the starting platform. Use the balls to climb up to the exit platform and carefully climb around to the other side, then jump off to reach the purple marble (27). Then get onto one of the far high blocks of the second platform. Face the first one and do a crush. Climb down onto the metal block, climb down another level, and climb down again to the metal block. Climb down on its lower level. Drop down and grab the purple marble (30) and uncrush. Here, make the camera turn 180 degrees and crush again. Grab the red marble (40) and uncrush from the right side of the platform. Press Right on the D-Pad to turn the camera, then crush. The Trophy Thought will activate; grab the Trophy nearby, then go up the platforms to the left to the first platform. Here, uncrush and go up the staircase. At the top, jump on top of the balls, then to the exit platform to leave. =============================== Tutorial 11: C.R.U.S.H. By Name =============================== Marbles: 40 Time for a tutorial on cogs, it seems. Begin by collecting the two red marbles (20) nearby before crushing. This puts the cogs next to each other, thereby letting the one spinning spin the one next to it, which consequentially moves the block nearby. After the scene, regardless of what logic may be stopping you, crush and go left under the big block and collect the remaining marbles (40). Just as you'd normally be crushed, a Thought of Time stops the block and saves you from becoming a pancake by stopping everything except you. After regaining control, proceed to the exit. ===================== Area 26: Faulty Tower ===================== Marbles: 50 Begin by going forward and grabbing the blue marble (1). Get on the platform at the base of the tower and do a crush while the camera is facing it. You'll end up riding some blocks; be sure to get off to grab the blue marble (2). Once the rightmost block rises again, get on and ride up to the next blue marble (3). Then use the leftmost rising block to reach a purple marble (6), and use the middle block to reach the blue marble (7). Wait there for a block to take you to the top; there, get the three blue marbles (10) and the Checkpoint. Now, assuming you haven't changed the camera, get onto the lower platform on your left. Press Left on the D-Pad and crush. Jump left off of the platform to reach another with a blue marble (11); go to the lower platform to find three blue marbles (14) merged into one. Uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush again. Jump up the platforms until you can no longer see the platform on the left, then jump to the Memory. Once you land, go right back to the metal block and uncrush. Press Right on D-Pad and crush again. Go to the far right this time and you'll eventually activate the Trophy Thought and put the Trophy in easy reach. Grab it and uncrush. Climb back to the top of the tower as before. Assuming that the front of the tower you previously ascended is south, which I will assume for this area, you now need to head to the southeastern side of the top platform to find an elevator. Once the elevator stops, get on the platform nearby and, once the elevator rises, get back where it was. Angle the camera to face the tower front and crush. Climb down into the gap for four easy-to-reach blue marbles (19), followed by a Checkpoint and another blue marble (20) atop the platform. Uncrush and then do a top-down crush. Go around what you can here to get three blue marbles and one purple marble (26). Return to the Checkpoint and go down the stairs to the west for another blue marble (27). Then descend the metallic stairs nearby for another blue marble (28). Have the camera face the east side of the tower here and crush. Descend to the lowest metal platform and uncrush. Crawl to the red marble (38), then backtrack to the Checkpoint while crushed as before. At the Checkpoint, go further left to find a blue marble (39). Once back at the Checkpoint, go down the stairs and roam around for another two blue marbles and a purple marble in the eastern alcove (44). Now, with the camera facing the back of the tower, let the blockwalker roam around until it is just west of the platform near the barrier -- crush when the platform will still be accessible, but you can jump to the blockwalker. Once atop the blockwalker, jump to the wall and go right to find three blue marbles, one down in a pit (47). Then uncrush and make the camera face to the north. Crush and you'll notice an L-shaped metal block to the right. Get on it and uncrush, then trigger the switch. Backtrack to the previous platform with the Checkpoint, then make the camera face the back of the tower (south). Crush and grab the remaining three blue marbles (50), then go right to the exit. ====================== Area 27: The Labyrinth ====================== Marbles: 50 Upon arriving, immediately crush for two blue marbles (2), and go right for three more (5). Now, you'll probably notice the moving blocks nearby. Wait for them to make a staircase you can use and collect the seven blue marbles and one purple marble (15). Every second time the stairs are made, they'll also go horizontal soon; use that time to get the blue marble (16) further left. Afterwards, wait at the stairs near the platform for the stairs to go vertical, and use that moment to reach the platform. Uncrush on the metal platform and get the Checkpoint. Press Right on the D-Pad and crush from atop the metal block, then collect the purple marble (19). Uncrush and return to the Checkpoint platform; do a top-down crush there and collect the two blue marbles (21). Uncrush on the other platform and angle the camera so you can see two different Thoughts. From the metal platform on the right, crush, but only when the moving blocks are making a formation that you can use to get atop the metal block in the background. Atop it, you'll find the Trophy from the Trophy Thought, and don't worry about the moving blocks; the Time Thought stopped their moving. After obtaining the Trophy, crawl left and into the pit, then uncrush. Go back to the metal platform on the right and, this time, crush when the platforms make a vertical tower. Climb it and uncrush at the top, then do a top-down crush. Go along both paths to collect eleven blue marbles and one purple marble (35). Next, backtrack to where you originally arrived at from the vertical tower. (We used the Checkpoint as a safeguard, okay?) There will be a block there that makes a large wall when uncrushed. Find it and get on it via a top-down crush. Then do a side crush and go to the right. At the end of the metal blocks, if you look below via the R Button, you should see the Memory. Uncrush and you'll note a notch making a pit in the final block you're on; go down into it. Upon landing, go "into" the block and then towards the end of it to get the Memory. Fall back off and return to the Checkpoint near the end of the maze area. You will need to first get off when the moving blocks nearby make a staircase. Now, go back a little bit from the Checkpoint. Remember that blue marble in the very small alcove? Uncrush there and go to the nearby Dimensional Thought. Run along the wall next to it, under the platform above, to find a blue marble and a red marble (46). Then return to the Checkpoint and do a top-down crush. Uncrush on the platform that looks like it's missing a chunk of its border. Here, make the camera face the exit. Crush and collect the blue marble (47), then go to the far right to another (48). Jump on the nearby metal stairs and you'll notice the moving metal block. When it is going INTO the tunnel, follow it and collect the remaining two blue marbles (50), then continue to the exit. =================== Area 28: Crazy Golf =================== Marbles: 40 First, go right and through the tunnel nearby to find a blue marble (1) near the exit on the other side. Return to the ball near the start and look at the base of the nearby tower; crawl to a purple marble (4) in an alcove there. Return to the ball and return the camera to its original setting. Do a side crush while facing the tower and push the ball to the right. Uncrush and get on the right side of the ball. Use it to get onto the platform. Grab the two blue marbles (6) there, jump to the one in the alcove (7), then uncrush. Go right to the blue marble (8) nearby, then trigger the switch. Now, get in a top-down crush and push the ball to the right, then north when uncrushed. Once it falls down, consider using the moving platform nearby to use the Checkpoint, then do a top-down crush and get onto the lower level. There, go around and grab the four blue marbles (12), then use various side crushes and the blockwalker to obtain three more blue marbles and two purple marbles (21). Be sure to replace the ball if it fell, and to use a Checkpoint. From where the ball lands, push it down the stairs onto the switch to raise some blocks. Ascend them to the Checkpoint, then do a top-down crush. Go along the path to the blue marble (22), then restart close to where you began. Uncrush and grab the nearby blue marble (23), then go back to the end of the path. There, turn the camera when uncrushed until you see three metal pillars, one slightly lower than the rest. Get on it and crush, then go right to reach the Memory, then up the platforms to the purple marble (26). Uncrush there and make the camera do a 180 before crushing again. You'll now have to make your way back to the place before the Memory - that high-up path. At the dead-end there, you'll want to turn the camera to face the exit. Use the moving platforms here to go right along the pillar tops to a blue marble (27), then a Checkpoint. Jump right across the gap and go over the stairs to the red marble (37) and activate the switch. Backtrack to the moving platforms near the exit and use them to now go left and collect the purple marble (40). Finally, uncrush. If you go back towards the opposite end of the path while looking from above, you'll notice a sheet metal block. Get in line with this block, crouch, and do a crush from the side while facing the exit. Go along the path here to its end. While crouching at the end, uncrush, do a 180 with the camera, and crush again. Grab the Trophy that the Trophy Thought produces. Afterwards, uncrush again and press Left on the D-Pad. Crush again and you'll activate the Lightheadedness Thought. Get onto the ledge to the left, then drop (DO NOT JUMP) to the platform at the bottom of the gap to the right. Uncrush here, then do a top-down crush. Go along the path some, then uncrush. Face the exit and crush. Use the moving platforms to reach the exit and leave. ======================== Area 29: Locked In Space ======================== Marbles: 40 NOTE: We'll be assuming that the initial orientation of the camera is facing north. Start off by crushing immediately for two blue marbles (2), then ride the moving platform to the left for two more blue marbles (4). Jump off for the purple marble (7), and get back onto the platform by uncrushing, going up the southeastern stairs, and crushing while the camera faces north. This time, ride all of the way to the other side and exit. Here, collect the Checkpoint (plus two blue marbles) and the purple marble (12) followed by the blue marble nearby (13) by jumping to it. Get onto ground level and go into the tunnel beneath the central tower for a purple marble (16). Then do a top-down crush and jump across the big center gap when it is open to get the purple marble (19) there. Ascend the stairs of the southeastern platform, but then press Right on the D-Pad at the top. Crush now and ride the platform to the right to the other side, collecting the blue marble (20) on the way. Crawl into the tunnel at the end for another (21). Uncrush and press Right on the D-Pad, then ride the platform to the right to the other side again. Atop the ramp, uncrush, then get on the platform and do a top-down crush to get the blue marble (23). Exit the crush when atop the barrier. Get onto the northern portion of it, then do a crush while the camera faces east. Get the nearby blue marble (24), then onto the platform as it comes. Drop for the red marble (34), then retrack your way to this point. Note that you must time your jump so that the other platform is beneath you; I suggest jumping for the marble as you approach from the right. When you return to the ledge before the second-level moving platform, uncrush from the metal block. Move the camera so that it faces north and get on the lower level of the metal block. Do a crush now and you'll be able to activate the Trophy Thought and get the Trophy. Anyways, back on the platform... Collect the two blue marbles here (36) if you didn't already, as well as the additional one at the left end (37). At this additional marble, land there and uncrush. Get on the southern portion of this chunk of metal and make the camera face south. Collect the Memory. Now, uncrush and get onto the staircase prior to the exit. Get on the south side of the platform while the camera faces north to notice a tunnel. Crawl through it to find a purple marble (40). Get it, then proceed to the exit. ========================= Area 30: Rockin' The Boat ========================= Marbles: 40 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, go right to the blue marble (1). Now, keeping the camera as before, you will notice the Memory nearby. You'll see an L-shaped path leading to it that would be accessible if crushed. Get on the top tile of said path, crush, and crawl to the Memory. Climb up the platforms and uncrush at the top. Get right of the stairs and crush, then go right some more. Crush at the end of the path, then go north to the next platform, collecting the two blue marbles (3) on the way. Now, do a top-down crush and jump on the next moving platform that comes by. When on it, uncrush and get on the other side of the metal girder above before crushing again. Grab the nearby Checkpoint, then the purple marble (6) to the southeast. Uncrush, get onto the small gray tile to the east, and do a top-down crush for a red marble (16). Uncrush on the northern tile and go north to a purple marble and a blue marble (20), then collect the two blue marbles and one purple marble (25) along the western paths. Now, land on one of the moving platforms that are below you by jumping onto one. Collect the purple marble (28) to the east, then make the camera face north. Try to make yourself do a crush to land on top of the platform above the Trophy Thought to easily get a Trophy. Then simply get back on the platform and do a top-down crush. Get onto the platform north of the one where the red marble once was. Collect the blue marble (29) there while uncrushed. Then make the camera face north and do a crush while on the east side of the platform. Use the nearby metal block to get to the gray platforms' left side, above the blue marble. Uncrush to get it (30), then make the camera do a 180 and crush again. Climb up the platforms nearby to get another blue marble (31), then use the moving blocks to reach the purple marble (34). Use the moving platforms to go further right from the previous blue marble to another (35). Uncrush and go to the right to one purple marble (38). Now, go back east to "ground level" and do a top-down crush. Proceed north across the two gaps via the moving blocks to another blue marble (39). Go along this path eastward to the end of the northern platform, using the moving blocks as before. At the destination, do a top-down crush and get on the rectangular block, uncrush, and make the camera face west. Crush and go right to the blue marble (40). Get back onto the block you originally were on and uncrush. Make the camera face south and crush. Use the moving blocks as a staircase when they go right to reach the exit. ========================== Tutorial 12: Teething Time ========================== Marbles: 20 After that ... creepy cutscene, we'll head straight into another tutorial. This one is about ghost objects and medium switches. See that roller nearby? Push it to the left and, after regaining control, press Left on the D-Pad and crush to find that this ghost object, when crushed, functions like the ghost blocks. Anywho, crawl left through the gap to the two blue marbles and two purple marbles (8). You'll notice that large switch nearby. Uncrush to reveal it in 3D as a medium switch. Crush again after regaining control to find that, from this angle, it is a small switch. So, in essence, a medium switch can be any switch, depending on the crush. After regaining control, uncrush and grab the Checkpoint. After the cutscene there, go left and across the gap to the two purple marbles (14). After getting the second one, the slug will come to you. Crush and he'll curl into a ball, allowing you to jump over. (You can also push him, but not worth it now.) Go left to the purple marble (17) and uncrush, then crush again when the slug is nearby. Jump onto it, then onto the platform. Get the purple marble (20) and leave. ============================= Area 31: Contains Small Parts ============================= Marbles: 50 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Begin by crushing and going up the stairs to the right to collect two blue marbles merged as four (4) on the way. Upon landing, go left and into the gap for two more blue marbles (6). Return to the rightmost bit of the platform, uncrush, and press Right on the D-Pad. Crush and jump off of the right side of this platform, angling left as you fall. Collect the red marble and two blue marbles merged as one (18). Get back to the top of the platform, uncrush, and return to where you started. Crush as you originally did and go up three steps before uncrushing. Collect the five blue marbles (23) on this platform, then go north onto the next platform for two more (25). Press Left on the D-Pad and crush to easily get another four (29). Uncrush and return to the previous platform. Face the way you came and crush, then go left onto the platform there. Uncrush and do a top-down crush, then collect the three blue marbles (32). Then backtrack to the platform where you collected the five blue marbles. Here, have the camera face the platform to the west and crush. Get the Checkpoint, uncrush, and get the three blue marbles nearby (35). Make the camera face north, then crush so you can get the Memory. Uncrush and make the camera face east, then crush and go down to the three blue marbles (38). Get on the left side of the platform, uncrush, and press Left on the D-Pad. Crush, go left as far as possible, and uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad again and crush, then step on the switch. Backtrack to the top of the platform and, there, make the camera face south. Crush and collect the two blue marbles (40). After grabbing the one on the right, uncrush and get the blue marble (41), plus the purple marble (44) to the south and on the lower level. Return to the upper level via a top-down crush, then get do a crush. This will make a ball appear from a portrait if you faced north. Crush on the southern part of the platform you're on that is lower than the rest, then crush. Crawl to the right side of the ball and push it left. Also grab the purple marble (47). Now, uncrush and push the ball north. Get on the metal block near it, then make the camera face east. Crush and jump up to the ghost roller; roll it to the right. Go right onto it. Now, make the camera face away from the big wall while you're atop the roller and crush. You'll then get the Trophy. Now, jump onto the ground, uncrush, make the camera face north, and crush again. Get the purple marble (50) and use the exit. ======================= Area 32: Can I Kick It? ======================= Marbles: 50 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Immediately crush and collect the three blue marbles; some are merged, though, so you'll have five. Uncrush and go into the pit on the left; collect the two blue marbles (7) there; crush to reach another (8). Wait for the moving platform to park in front the metal blocks, then uncrush. Ride the platform to the other side; grab the blue marble (9) on the way. On the other side, get the Checkpoint and go along the path to get three more blue marbles (12). Then have the camera face south (opposite the direction you faced when arriving) and go left for another two blue marbles (14). Uncrush, then crush again; go right to the purple marble (17). Then go east and under the archway while uncrushed, then take the seven blue marbles and one purple marble (27) scattered around the platform; remember to go around back for access to some more of them. When done, go around back and climb the platforms to the north via a side crush. At the top, uncrush and face south. Crush and get to the Checkpoint, then uncrush. Face west and crush. Grab the blue marble (28) and uncrush. Use a top-down crush and uncrush from an edge. Look around for the Trophy Thought. Crush while facing it and use a platform to get on the fragile block covering it. After it begins to crumble, uncrush, get on the other side of the platform, and crush. Get the Trophy. Get back on top of the platform and face north. Do a crush and collect the blue marble and purple marble (32) nearby. Return to the lower level, where you started. Go down the pit nearby and get on the riding platform, as before. However, as you begin riding in 3D, press Right on the D-Pad and crush. Get on the platforms and grab the purple marble (35). Get back on the riding platform and ride to the other side. While facing west, do a crush and line yourself up with the stack of three blocks right of the big ghost block. Uncrush and jump off onto the block. Go around here and get a few blue marbles down here without crushing (38). Make the camera face east, now, and crush. Get onto the moving platform and get the two blue marbles (40) there. Get on the fragile blocks for the red marble (50), then get onto the platform on the right. Uncrush and repeat. As you go up, when the platform is going down and a fully "Danny height" below the platform, uncrush and press Right on the D-Pad. Crush to get the Memory. Now, uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush again. When possible, jump onto the platform above and ride the platform, etc., as before to reach the platform with the exit. Use it. ======================= Area 33: Merry-Go-Round ======================= Marbles: 50 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go along the path until, to the west, you see a blue marble. Going beneath it are some platforms; pick the one with the mostly-white top, then grab the blue marble (1). Ride it to the next platform. There, just cross the top and take the two blue marbles (3), getting on the platform on the other side. Ride for a full lap back to the start platform, getting five more blue marbles (8) on the way. Here, get the two blue marbles and one purple marble (13) before departing for the next platform. There, you'll want to repeatedly ride various platforms to reap the rewards of the blue, purple, and red marbles (27); use top-down crushes to back on top for other platforms. Also remember to get the three blue marbles (30) on the lower level, one underneath the block. Ride some platforms to the next ledge. There, after grabbing the Checkpoint, get in a top-down crush and push both slugs over the edge, then collect the four blue marbles and one purple marble (37) here. Have the camera face east and crush, then go left into the pit. Uncrush and trigger the switch. Backtrack to the platforms and ride a solid metal one now. Face north and do a crush and ride down for a bit. When you see an outcropping coming left from the central platform, jump on there and uncrush. Collect the four blue marbles (41) around the base, then face north and crush in front of the "ladder". Get to the top of it and uncrush. Go forward to collect a blue marble (42), and do a top-down crush in the back when you can be see. Collect the purple marble (45) and the Checkpoint, then uncrush. Collect the Memory, trigger the switch, and get the two blue marbles (47). Now, you can see that western purple marble (50), correct? It is on a ramp; as in, you'll need to walk up to the top of the ramp and go down as a platform is approaching. For convenience, pick the white-top one. Once on it, do a top-down crush and, hopefully, you'll manage to be able to grab the Trophy, if the moving Trophy Thought is close enough; if not, ride around again and again. Now, get onto the platform that once housed the Trophy Thought. When it gets close enough to the exit/start platform (same general area; east side), get on and run to the exit. ===================== Area 34: Gobbledygook ===================== Marbles: 60 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, before doing anything, simply push the roller away to find a blue marble (1). Begin by going to the right and grabbing the blue marble (2), then along the northern path for three more (5). Get atop the staircase there and have the camera face north. Crush and get onto the roller, then uncrush to be on it. Make the camera face west and go right across the pillars for two blue marbles (7). Get north of the previous staircase and make the camera face east while on ground level. Crush and then uncrush in front of the skull. Press Left on the D-Pad and crouch where the purple marble will appear when you crush; when you crush, you'll get it (10). Return to the northern staircase and get on top of it. Then rotate to have the camera face east. Do a crush and get the Checkpoint, then go left for some blue marbles (15). Go left into the gap, then right across the fragile blocks for a purple marble (18). Grab it and get back across the blocks. Uncrush now and press Left on the D-Pad, then crush again. Get the Trophy resulting from the Trophy Thought much like you did the purple marble, then go up the stairs to the left for the blue marble (19). Jump to the platform on the right, then get on the metal blocks at the end and uncrush. Press Right on the D-Pad and head over to the Checkpoint. East from there, go downstairs and grab the blue marbles (21) - one around the corner from it, and one in plain sight. Then go west and upstairs to find one more (22) and leave it at that for now. Now, remember where the blue marble around the corner of the staircase was? Go there, have the camera face west, crush, go left for the purple marble (25) and go back to the ball. Make the camera face west and crush. Push the ball to the right, then get on the same platform as it is. Get in a top-down crush and push the ball to the left and up, onto the elevator platform. Get to where the ball originally was to find a blue switch; while the camera faces west, crush from atop it and trigger it. The ball on the elevator will go up; get off the switch when it is at the top. Get at the bottom of the western staircase, do a top-down crush, and go north. Uncrush to find the ball nearby. Get the three nearby marbles (28), then make the camera face north. Crush and push the ball to the left, then uncrush, go down a level, and repeat. Now that the cockroach is dead, collect the various blue marbles here (32) and get atop the leftmost highest platform. Do a top-down crush and jump around the corner to the Checkpoint. Uncrush and get near the stairs; collect the blue marble next to them and the one atop them (34). At the top, get on the metal blocks and make the camera face south. Crush and go right to collect a couple of blue marbles (36). On the two-tile platform, jump off of the left edge and get the Checkpoint. Hop left across the fragile blocks to the purple marble (39) and the Memory. Go right to the platform to the right of the Checkpoint's and get upstairs to where you found the two-tile metal platform. The platform to the left has a two-tile stack. Get on it and uncrush. Trigger the switch nearby to set some platforms in motion. Face north and crush, then use the vertically-moving platform to reach the purple marble (42). Uncrush there and have the camera face south and down (for convenience). Move right to the next platform, then again when possible, grabbing the blue marble (43) on the way. On there, do a top-down crush and get onto the platform nearby. Collect the blue marble (44) to the left, then go right and up to the Checkpoint and two blue marbles (46) along a path. Now, there is a space north of the Checkpoint, between two metal block sets. Uncrush from a top-down crush on there and get on the metal platform to the south. Collect the purple marble and blue marble (50) up here, then get in the alcove west of the slug's facing. Do a top-down crush here, collect the blue marble (43), and push the slug ... somewhere else. Now, remember that barrier we've been using lately, the tall one? Get back on top of it. Make the camera face north and crush, then go left onto the platform above the red marble. Uncrush and grab the red marble (60), then hop right to the area where the slug once was. At the southern portion of the platform, south of the ghost block, crawl west into the structure. Have the camera face north, crush, and go west to finally find the exit. ======================== Area 35: Slinkin' Around ======================== Marbles: 40 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Once you arrive, immediately crush, then uncrush whilst crouching. Crawl left and trigger the switch. Get on top of your platform and crush while still facing north, then go left onto the next platform and uncrush. While facing south there, crush and crawl into the gap to the purple marble (3), then climb onto the top of the platform. Face west and crush to get another purple marble (6), then uncrush to return. Now, those platforms that are moving? Ride them to the west; use the southern platform and jump to the purple marble (9) on the way. Trigger the switch here, then ride the platforms some more to the east side of the area. Be sure to grab the purple marble (12) on the way. Once you land on the east side of the area, go east to the moving platform of fragile blocks. Get the purple marble (15) circling around and cross to the opposite side. There, make the camera face south and crush, then head to the purple marble to the left (18). Go to the Checkpoint and uncrush. Make the camera face north, now. Get on the middle step and crush when the blockwalker you see moving is partially-hidden by some blocks. Once you crush successfully, climb up onto the platform and uncrush. Once on top, make the camera face south and you'll notice a long ghost block. When the blockwalker isn't in the way, crush and go into the block. At the bottom, uncrush and trigger the switch. Use a top-down crush to get back on top, and, there, make the camera face west. Crush and use the blockwalker as a stepping stone to the purple marble (21) to the right. Uncrush on the normal platform there. Get around to the west side of that platform and do a crush while on the stairs and facing east. Go into the gap with the Checkpoint and uncrush, then go south onto the highest platform here. From a top-down view, you can easily see the ghost block moving to the left; get on it and grab the purple marble (24). Return to the previous platform and, there, when the ghost block is parked, face the camera north and stand above the purple marble, then crush to get it (27). Return to the other platform it takes you to and do a top-down crush to reach the exit. However, before doing so, I'll lead you to the last few things in the level... First, remember those three moving platforms? Get on them and let them move you to the west side of the area. On the stack of metal platforms already there that doesn't move, face north and crush. Wait for the moving blocks to return and, as they leave, jump off them to the next one, then to the ground from the last one. Crawl left to the Memory, then, left of the blue blocks, push the slug to the left (if needed). Uncrush and QUICKLY get onto the higher stack of blocks to find the remaining purple marble (30). Get onto the lower ground to the west and QUICKLY do a top-down crush, then push the slug off of the platform. Then backtrack to the moving platforms' platform as before. Now, remember that moving ghost block? As it returns to the moving platforms' platform, face south, crouch, and crush onto the original platform. If you make it, you'll have easy access to the Trophy Thought's Trophy. Now, remember those moving blocks again? Well, head to the western platform and trigger the switch there. Then head to the eastern platform. There, you'll find a lowered ledge. Get there, face north, and crush to get your red marble (40). Now, simply return to the ghost block at the moving platforms' platform. Ride to the small platform, do a top-down crush, and head to the exit. ============================== Area 36: Out The Frying Pan... ============================== Marbles: 40 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go south and jump to the two blue marbles (2), then go further south across the fragile blocks to another (3). Then look to the north where you'll find a cockroach on the platform. When it is on the west side of the platform, make the camera face south, get on the right side of your platform, crush, and go left into the surprising safety of the ghost block. Now, you can see that skull icon, right? Get right of it, uncrush, and do a top-down crush to get rid of the cockroach. Then go south to the Checkpoint and uncrush at the end of the path. Make the camera face north and do a crush, then crawl underneath your platform for a blue marble and a purple marble (7). Hit the ground and uncrush. From there, backtrack to the south part of the level. Make the camera face east and crush, then quickly grab the merged blue marble (9). Go to the northern end of the area now, where that cockroach was squished, and repeat (11). Return to the top platform, then make the camera face east and crush. Get onto one of the stairs, uncrush, and head to the next-to-highest step. Do a top-down crush and go south onto the platform and, there, trigger the switch at the south end of the platform. Also consider grabbing the nearby Checkpoint before returning to the top of the platform. Quickly do a top-down crush and head north to the moved platform to grab the purple marble (14). Uncrush immediately and jump, when possible, onto the metal platform it moves to. When on it, face south and crush, then grab the purple marble (17). Uncrush RIGHT THERE, at the purple marble, and make the camera face west. Crush and get that purple marble (20). Uncrush there and do a top-down crush. Get the nearby Checkpoint and uncrush. Make the camera face south and crush, then grab the Memory nearby. Make the camera face north and drop off the right side onto another platform. From there, drop off to the left side, uncrush, and make your way back to the area with the switch. Now, make the camera face west, towards the big wall. Retrigger the switch and crush. Go left and, when possible, use the moving platforms to reach two more blue marbles (22). Re-do this and, this time, go up the vertical column of platforms. At the top, grab the Checkpoint and go down the nearby staircase. Now, do a top-down crush and quickly jump to the purple marble (25) and back to the platform. Uncrush and return to the camera to facing south. Go onto the fragile block and crush. Get on the lower fragile block nearby to get rid of it, then crawl right to the blue marble (26) and uncrush there. Make the camera face east and crush when the fragile block reappears. Go up the stairs to the blue marble (27) and return to the previous solid platform. Make the camera face south to see the exit. Go up the platforms to the purple marble (30). There, uncrush and get into a top-down crush. Get onto the side barrier from earlier that was high and to the west. Uncrush and then make the camera face north. Crush and go right onto the next platform. Uncrush there, do a 180 with the camera, then crush again. Grab the nearby Trophy from the Trophy Thought, then return to the area with the high barrier. Get back onto the tall barrier (doesn't matter which side) and make the camera face north. Crush and wait for the fragile block to exit from your part of the barrier; once it does, get onto it, then slip off the side to the red marble (40), then onto the platform below. Uncrush and go south, off the platform, and right into the exit. ===================== Area 37: Broken Zones ===================== Marbles: 60 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go east and up onto the platform. Crush there while facing north and ride the moving spaces to collect three marbles. Be sure to trigger the switch on the right. Once you have three marbles, exit on the top-left side for another blue marble (4), then go down to another (5). Uncrush here and press Left on the D-Pad to find a switch. Trigger it and ride the moving platforms back to the top-left side. Uncrush and go to the top of the nearby staircase, then collect the Checkpoint and some blue marbles (9) nearby. Go to the eastern end of the platform and do a top-down crush to reach the next above platform, then uncrush on it. Face south and crush to be able to reach the red marble (19). Grab the nearby blue marble (20), then get back onto the southern portion of the southern platform. Make the camera face west and crush to get the Memory. Uncrush and go back to the northern platform. Do another top-down crush here to get on the next above platform; there, collect the three blue marbles (23) and the Checkpoint. With the camera facing north, crush and go left to the purple marble (26), then go right and up the platforms. Push the ball at the top to the left, then return to ground level. Go left for some more marbles (28) and the ball will soon escape the Time Thought and activate the switch. Then jump from the ball to the stairs and go right to collect three blue marbles (31). Go down the ramp to another one (32), then uncrush. Get off the platform and go east into the purple marble (35), then trigger the switch. Get back onto the white-top platform's west side and crush while facing south. Go right onto the metal blocks and uncrush. Get in front of the ghost roller and crush while facing east. Then go left to the Checkpoint and uncrush. Grab the nearby blue marble (36), then go left. Crush while facing west from there, then go right. Jump across to the platform, then the other side of the gap, getting two blue marbles and a purple marble (41) by the time you reach the other side. Uncrush there and trigger the nearby switch. Make the camera face west again, then crush. Ride the platforms around to the top corners, and you'll end up grabbing four blue marbles (45) on the way. Go back to the top-right platform and uncrush when you get the Checkpoint. Go around to the blue space and crush in front it while facing west. Go along the pit to find three blue marbles (48) altogether. Go back to the moving platform area and use the top-left exit now. While facing west, crush and crawl into the gap. Uncrush, press Right on the D-Pad, and crush. Go left to find a blue marble and a purple marble (52). After you obtain the latter, uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush. Go right to find another blue marble (53). Get it, uncrush, and make the camera face south. Crush and get on top of the "arch" for the Trophy. Get on the ground left of the archway, like before, then crawl down to the incline. Grab the purple marble (56), then uncrush at the bottom. Make the camera face east, go left a bit, and crush. Grab the blue marble (57), and then backtrack to the moving platforms area. Exit to the top-right again. Go around the corner to where you found the three blue marbles. When uncrushed, get on the platform on the other side of the gap. It LOOKS like the platform next to it is too tall, but there is a smaller platform behind the larger one; use it and get on top of the tall one. Crush and go right and grab the purple marble (60). Not much else to do now but go to the exit. Return to the moving platforms area on the back side of the eastern platform, then exit on the top-left. ===================== Area 38: The Pacifier ===================== Marbles: 60 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First collect the nearby blue marble (1), then make the camera face east. Crush on the left side of the platform and hop onto the metal block, then uncrush. Get the blue marble and purple marble (5) on this platform, then use a top-down crush to get back on top. Return to the first platform with some crushes. Now, when facing north, get on the westernmost bit of the platform and crush. Go left to two more blue marbles (7), then right and down to the Checkpoint. Uncrush, then go east to the blue marble (8). At the bottom of the stairs, crush and crawl left to the purple marble (11), then return to the right side of the platform. Uncrush there. Now make the camera face west and crush, then crawl right and trigger the switch. Return to where you arrived here and make the camera face east to note a purple marble; jump around the corner to get this purple marble (14). Then jump off of the northern side of the ledge and onto the roller when crushed while facing west while also near the switch from earlier. Disembark on the left side and collect the blue marble and purple marble (18) and uncrush at the far side. Then do a top-down crush to go west onto the next platform. Uncrush here and stand on the pillar with the blue marble (19). Crush while facing north so that the blockwalker can become a viable stepping stone, then use it and go left. Collect the blue marble (20), then uncrush and go south to find another (21). Recrush from atop the pillar and go left, into the gap, and collect one more blue marble (22), then uncrush in the ghost block. Now, backtrack until you're back atop the roller. Push it to the right, then collect the two nearby blue marbles (24). Return to the blockwalker platform as before, then use the blockwalker as a stepping stone, as before. When you get over the left side of the top pillar, uncrush on the metal block above the stairs, then get on the stairs. Make the camera face south to notice a purple marble. Get atop the staircase and drop to it. Crawl to it, then jump to the blue marble (28). Then grab the three blue marbles (31) near the switch, then trigger said switch. Then, while facing south, crush. Go right onto the platform and uncrush. Use a top-down crush to get on top of this platform. Make the camera face north and crush from atop the platform, then go left and collect the blue marble (32). Uncrush, do a top-down crush, and go a bit east from the Checkpoint before uncrushing. Grab all of the readily-accessible marbles -- one purple and four blue (39). Next, crush with the camera facing north and you'll notice a moving platform nearby. Use it to get to the top and reach a blue marble (40). Uncrush and grab another (41), then grab the remaining readily-accessible marbles on THIS platform: two purple and three blue (50). The eastern purple marble will need to found in a top-down crush, then you need to jump to it and quickly back onto the platform. Now, proceed to the ball on the southern portion of the platform. Go to the lower platform and face east and crush whilst in front of the big eastern gear to ride another elevator up. When at the top, uncrush. Pay attention to the blockwalker now -- when it is in front of the path going to the ball (i.e. a northbound push will be blocked), push the ball north so it is stopped. It has to be stopped about equidistant from the side path to the elevator (to the south) and the gap to the north. Then push the ball east against the steps. Make the camera face south and, when the blockwalker is along the eastern path, crush to make it a viable stepping stone. Get on the other side of the ball. Now, uncrush. When the blockwalker is on the northern side path, push the ball west and immediately begin mashing the L Button while facing north to crush and hopefully stop the ball's movement due to a solid block. Upon success, get on the left side of the ball while crushed and push it left onto the elevator. Once the elevator reaches the ground (if you need to move it down, use the R Button and the Circle Pad to the find the gears to its left), push it to the right onto the switch. You can now proceed to the exit, if you want... However, let's finish collecting everything else. First, on the platform with the ball, if you head west, you'll notice that the white path widens at one point. Get on this new space, face west, and crush. Crawl right into the gap to get the Trophy. Why they decided to make the Trophy Thought invisible unless looking from a significant distance is beyond me. At the end of that western path, do a top-down crush to get the Checkpoint, then uncrush. Have the camera face north, crush, and get in front of the ghost roller before uncrushing. Do a top-down crush there and get on the nearby platform. From there, you can jump north onto some metal blocks to find the Memory around the corner. Face south while on the western end of the platform, then crush to get on the metal platform. Uncrush, face east, and crush. Go right to the Checkpoint and uncrush. Do a top-down crush to the blockwalker platform and use it, for the third time, to get on the metal staircase. Face east and crush, then get on the long jut-out to the right. Uncrush, face west, crouch (most likely), and crush. Crawl right to find the red marble (60). Now, just jump onto the ghost roller's platform, face north, crush, then uncrush on the platform to the left. Do a top-down crush and go east, and then I am quite confident that you can reach the exit from here. ================================ Area 39: Lock, Block, and Barrel ================================ Marbles: 60 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Begin by going forward and onto the east side of the platform. Crush to trigger a switch. Uncrush and move around to the new hole in the platform, which has a platform you can crawl to. Get onto it and do a top-down crush, then go south to the blue marble (1). Retrigger the switch now and go to the top platform as you did for the blue marble. This time, though, cross over to the other side after uncrushing and, on ground level, make the camera face east and crush. Try to use the ghost block to reach the Memory. Afterwards, trigger the switch one more time. When you do the top-down crush this time, uncrush on the platforms that fill up the hole. You'll end up on a lower platform; grab the nearby blue marble (2). Ride the platform nearby to reach a purple marble (5). Once more... Get to the lower platform like last time. Trigger the switch and, this time, do a top-down crush to return to the top platform (where the blue marble was) and ride the ghost block to the Checkpoint; also grab the nearby blue marble (6). Remember, that must done in quick succession or you'll have to retry. Go down the stairs near the Checkpoint and face west, then crush to get the blue marble (7). Get on the nearby moving platform and use it go north; be sure to grab all of the marbles -- three blue, one purple (13) -- from the side paths. At the end of the path, near the purple marble, get on the platform and do a top-down crush, then jump north to the Checkpoint. Collect all of the easily-reached blue marbles here (there are five) (18); some are in gaps, so you'll need to get in a top-down crush and jump over the gaps to get them. Then get near the turquoise switch and face west. Crush and go left to the two blue marbles (20). Uncrush on the higher platform, then do a top-down crush. Go along the path to the end and, there, uncrush. Get the blue marble and purple marble (24) up here. Now, return to ground level and go around to the area where you arrived on this platform at. Get around to the east side of it and grab the purple marble (27). Get back up by riding the platform below and doing another top-down crush. Then go around to where you had to jump from the platforms to get two blue marbles. Uncrush on the lower platform this time and collect the purple marble (30) to the left; ignore the one on the right, for it'll be dealt with later. Now, go back to the turquoise switch. First, face east or west and crush. Trigger the switch, uncrush, and push the ghost roller into a gap. Face the big block across the gap, and crush so as to reach the red marble (40) and uncrush. This time around, you'll need to face west, crush, then push the ghost roller to the right. Then press the switch, uncrush, get in a top-down crush, and go right to the moving platform and get on it by jumping over the gap made by the ghost roller. Get the three blue marbles (43). See the purple marble on the north edge of the platform? Get in a top-down crush and quickly jump to it and back to get it (46). Jump across the platforms to the south to find another (49). Return back to the main platform, get in a top-down crush, and uncrush in the northwestern corner. Crush while facing north and go left to find a blue marble (50). Uncrush and go to the other side of the platform for another (51), then face south and crush to find yet another (52). Use the blockwalker as a stepping stone to the Trophy that appears as well. Uncrush on the raised block, then crush again and uncrush on the left side to arrive on a platform with a purple marble (55). Grab it, then crush while facing north to return to the raised platform. Crush again while facing south, then get on the blockwalker on this southern platform and uncrush. Face east and crush. Get on the platforms for two blue marbles (57), then uncrush and go up to the purple marble (60). Finally, do a top-down crush and go west onto the exit platform. Ignore that part about using the exit and just use the riding platform as before to do a top-down crush and get onto the platform. The exit is east of the turquoise switch from before. You remember where this place is; we've already been there twice. ================ Area 40: The End ================ Marbles: 50 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. NOTE: I'd be VERY wary while jumping around. For some reason, I would sometimes end up falling through ground that is solid. NOTE: I was unable to obtain the Memory located here. If you have any info, I would greatly appreciate it! Go north and grab the two blue marbles (2) on this platform; ignore the three switches entirely; don't step on them. Crush while facing north and go right onto that platform. Collect the blue marble (3), then uncrush and crawl through the nearby tunnel to the southern purple marble (6). Get back on the first platform and do a north-facing crush on the west side. Grab the purple marble (9), then uncrush. Crush again while facing west and go along to the east, picking up the blue marble and purple marble (13) nearby. Return to the first platform and trigger the southernmost switch. Pick up the nearby blue marble (14) from the alcove. Then retrigger that switch, then trigger the middle switch. Go around to the south and grab the purple marble (17) from the alcove. Retrigger the middle switch, then trigger the northernmost switch. Pick up the blue marble (18) from the alcove nearby. Now, you're going to need to trigger the switches in a certain way. First, get rid of the northern switch's function to flatten the area. Use the southern switch, then go trigger the northeastern switch, then de-trigger the southern switch. Then trigger the northern and middle switches. Now, get on the east half of the platform, face north, crush, and jump right to the Checkpoint. Uncrush, face west, crush, and jump up to the platform. There, uncrush, face east, and walk to the left. Get the three blue marbles (21), then walk into the gap, triggering the switch. Grab the Checkpoint and uncrush. Get the nearby blue marble (22), then face south and crush. Get the blue marble (23) to the left across the gap, then continue to the Checkpoint. Uncrush, face west, crush again and get on the on the higher ledge to the right. Jump to the purple marble (26). You can go further right from here to end up finding the exit; you'll grab two blue marbles and one purple marble on the way (31). Once at the exit, don't use it. I bet you can see that purple marble hanging around the back of the platform, right? Get between it and the ghost block nearby, face south, and crush to get it (34) But we're far from done. Return to ground level now and uncrush; you might want to grab that purple marble (37) on the way down, right? While facing west, get on the east side of the first platform. Duck to be as high as the platforms, then crush. Go over to the platform in the center, duck under it, and uncrush. Here, go west, then jump up the platforms to the one you can stand on while crushed. Crush while facing west and grab that Trophy! Do a similar thing on the first platform while facing east to find a purple marble (40). Then go back along the main path towards the exit - you'll re-trigger a switch as you do. Let that happen and continue like before; you will end up coming across the red marble (50). After you do this, return to the switch platform. Trigger the switch again and crush, as if you were heading to the exit. Go to the platform at the end of the path and uncrush, as before. Have the camera face west and crush. Go to the left along the solid blocks. Uncrush on the raised pillar past the sheets, then face north and crush again to get the Memory. Return to the exit as before to finish the main storyline of the game. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 5. Trophy Mode Walkthroughs -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unlock Trophy Mode areas, you'll need to first obtain a Trophy in the level while playing it (or replaying it) during the main game (the one with the storyline). In each area, you will be timed, be limited to a certain number of crushes (one crush is two presses of the L Button), and must collect everything in the area before being allowed to exit (marbles, Trophy, and Memory), still within the time interval. These levels are very much like the regular area, so, if you came here by mistake, you can actually use these to get through the main game in a completionist manner as well. However, there may be some extra skills involved that you need. And, I will also note, that some of the walkthroughs are almost completely copy-and-pasted, since their number of crushes fit the conditions beforehand anyways. Just worth noting, because there may have been incorrect counting of crushes. If a strategy happens to be wrong, please let me know. =================== Area 1: First Crush =================== Marbles: 20 Time : 25 seconds Crushes: 4 Immediately crush, get the blue marbles (4), then get onto the brown block to the right. Uncrush there, then jump off of the platform to get to the marbles below, one purple and three blue (10). Rotate the camera so you can see the Trophy Thought, then crush and grab it. Uncrush, do a top-down crush, then go over to the red marble (20). Uncrush and turn the camera so you're facing the Memory nearby. Crush, grab it, and head into the exit nearby. ================== Area 2: Early Rise ================== Marbles: 20 Time : 40 seconds Crushes: 5 Begin by going along the path and collect the two blue marbles (2). Crush and continue left to grab two blue marbles and one purple marble (7). Uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush again to get the Memory. Uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush once more. Go up the stairs and collect the two blue marbles (9), then uncrush and get in a top-down view so you can see the red marble and blue marble (20) nearby; get them. Now, turn the camera so you can see the Trophy Thought. Once you can, crush and grab the Trophy. Then uncrush and do a top-down crush on the white block nearby so you can reach the exit. ==================== Area 3: Missing Step ==================== Marbles: 30 Time : 35 seconds Crushes: 3 First, turn the camera so you can see both the ball and the roller. Push the ball off of the ledge, then, once it falls, crush. You'll get eight marbles (8). Then push the roller off of the ledge, grab the purple marble (10), and then the Trophy. Uncrush there and wait for the roller to regenerate. Once it regenerates, push the roller north, so it'll fall into a gap between ledges and fill it. Collect the marbles (14) as you go, then jump to reach the purple marble (17) above the roller. Make the camera face back the way you came and crush. Go right up the stairs and collect the three blue marbles (20), then uncrush. Press Right on the D-Pad and grab the red marble (30), then crush. Go up the stairs, jump to the Memory, then proceed to the exit. =============== Area 4: Push-Up =============== Marbles: 20 Time : 1 minute Crushes: 6 First, crush and proceed to the right until you collect two blue marbles (2). Then push the ball to the left. Jump from its raised platform to the ball, then to the red marble (12). Jump on the ball and uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad and crush, then grab the Trophy nearby. Return to ground level and make the camera do a 180. Crush and push the ball to the left so you can reach the Memory nearby. After you do this, now face the platform where the ball originally started and crush, then uncrush on the platform. There, face the platform upon which you started and crush, then collect the blue and purple marbles (16). Push the ball off of the raised platform if needed, then get on said platform, uncrush, then do a top-down crush. Proceed to the nearby exit, getting a purple marble and blue marble (20) on the way. Uncrush and then you can go into the exit. ============================ Area 5: Upstairs, Downstairs ============================ Marbles: 30 Time : 1 minute, 15 seconds Crushes: 7 Go up the nearby stairs for three blue marbles (3), then go to the end of this path for five more (8) while in a top-down crush. Uncrush, then backtrack to the two purple marbles and grab them (14). Drop down to the blue marbles' platform and grab the two (16), then get in a top-down crush to jump to the red marble and quickly return (26). Turn the camera when uncrushed to face the nearby staircase and then press Right on the D-Pad once more. At the top of the stairs, crush, then uncrush on the highest brick tile you can reach. Get into the nearby tunnel and turn the camera until you can see at least part of the Trophy Thought. Crush to grab both the Trophy and the Memory, then uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad and move in front of the plain white ghost block, then crush and proceed to the bottom of the stairs. Uncrush there, then do a 180 with the camera. Head down to the purple marble (29), then uncrush. Proceed to the nearby blue marble (30), then face the exit's light beam. Crush and climb up the platforms to reach it. ========================== Area 6: ...Gathers No Moss ========================== Marbles: 30 Time : 2 minutes Crushes: 6 Let's begin with a top-down view. Go forward and along the left path to soon grab four blue marbles (4), and also push the ball. Go along the other path to the roller, grabbing the blue marble (5) on the way. Push the roller to the other end of the gap, then go forward for two blue marbles (7). Go left from there and jump onto the ball. Collect the purple marble (10), then jump to the right side of the area. Uncrush on the lower block and then grab the red marble (20). Get on the other side of the wall, then enter a top-down crush. Head over to the ball and push it to the left. Follow it, collecting two blue marbles (22) on the way. Then push it south and uncrush after a few seconds. Collect the nearby blue marble (23), then face the way you came, so you can see the Trophy Thought. Line up with the square white block to the right, crouch, and crush to get the Trophy. Uncrush, then use a top-down crush to get onto the high platform. Uncrush, push the ball further, then do another top-down crush on the other side of the platform. Jump and quickly return so you can grab the purple marble (26). Then uncrush and jump to the blue marble (27) over the brick tiles. Go down the staircase the ball fell down and angle the camera so you can see the large alcove within. Crush and go inside. Collect the blue marble (28) by crawling, and collect the Memory by jumping from the can. Return to the ball to get another blue marble (29), then uncrush. Get the other blue marble you can see (30), then walk on the brick wall to the exit. ========================= Area 7: Dropping The Ball ========================= Marbles: 40 Time : 1 minute, 55 seconds Crushes: 5 First, go around the corner for a blue marble (1). Then go to where you first were, crush, and go up the platforms, collecting three blue marbles (4) on the way. Uncrush at the fifth blue marble (5), then go upstairs and to the other end of the platform to get seven blue marbles (12) altogether. Push the ball to the other end of the platform and follow it. Jump from the platform it hits, to the ball, then to the Memory. Next, you'll need to get on the staircase side of the ball (that is, if you come up from the stairs from the start of the area, get on the side you'll arrive on this platform at) and do another top-down crush. Push it in the other direction, then back towards the end of the platform where it came from. Ignore for a while, now. Instead, still in that top-down crush, return to the other end of this main platform. Cross to the blue marble (13) on the other platform and uncrush there. Turn the camera so you can see part of the Trophy Thought, then crush to get the Trophy. Also drop down below to reach a purple marble (16), then jump back on top of the platform. Get into another top-down crush and get on the platform between yours and the main platform. Uncrush, collect the nearby purple marble (19), then use a top-down crush to return to the main platform. Without exiting this crush, continue to the other side of the platform, where a blue marble (20) should be, unless you've screwed up and gotten it ahead of time. It is meant to be a beacon. Anyways, upon getting it, uncrush and get the nearby purple marble (33). Then go around the corner (not upstairs) to find the red marble (33) in an alcove. Now, find the ball and push it towards the wall near the cockroach, then push it onto the cockroach. Use the ball to reach the next platform, where the remaining four blue marbles and one purple marble (30) lie. ======================== Area 8: 7 Years Bad Luck ======================== Marbles: 30 Time : 1 minute, 30 seconds Crushes: 7 First, go around on ground level to collect seven blue marbles (7); don't forget about the red marble (17) in the alcove, too! Return to where you started the area and make sure you angle the camera so a crush will let you use the platforms to get on top of the ball. Do so, then uncrush on top of it. Get onto the platform itself, then enter a top-down crush and push the ball away. Uncrush, get the purple marble on the higher ledge (20), then enter a crush so the Thought of Lightheadedness will activate. Use it to jump over the gap to collect four blue marbles and one purple marble (27). Uncrush and get the nearby purple marble (30), then enter a top-down crush to push away the nearby ball. Get next to it, uncrush, then crush so you'll activate the Trophy Thought. Push the ball away and grab the Trophy. Then press Right on the D-Pad and crush again to reach the Memory. Return to the main platform, uncrush, then use a top-down crush. Get onto the higher platform, uncrush, and proceed to the nearby exit. ==================== Area 9: Under & Over ==================== Marbles: 40 Time : 1 minute, 45 seconds Crushes: 8 Go down the stairs nearby and grab three blue marbles (3), then use a top-down crush. Get the blue marble (4), then jump to the purple marble (7) and quickly return. Go to the end of the path and uncrush, then use the stairs to jump to the blue and purple marbles (11). Go along the tunnel for two blue marbles and one purple marble (16), then use a top-down crush to get on the platform above. Uncrush and get the two blue marbles (18) NOT lower than you, then push the ball off the platform. Crush here first and collect the Trophy by crouching the gap, then uncrush, get the blue marble (19) lower than you, and proceed to the ball. Get in a top-down crush and push it further down the path. Uncrush near it and jump to it to reach the four blue marbles (23) on the platform. Next, do a top-down crush so that you'll end up crushing the cockroach above. Face the way you came and crush. Get on the raised block and you'll have 25 marbles by now. Uncrush and go up the stairs for one blue marble (26), with a red marble (36) at the end of the path. Now, face the cockroach's old platform, crush, and get on the right side of it, collecting the purple marble (39) on the way. Uncrush, then face the Memory nearby. Crush to grab it after a jump, then jump back down and uncrush. Get the nearby blue marble (40) and use the nearby exit. ====================== Area 10: Tin Can Alley ====================== Marbles: 30 Time : 2 minutes, 20 seconds Crushes: 8 Let's begin with a top-down view. Go forward and left along the path to two blue marbles and one purple marble (5). Return to where you turned left and do a top-down crush. Jump from the left side of the Memory nearby to the side north of it, then uncrush. Press Right on the D-Pad, then press Down to face the stairs. Crush for one blue marble (6), then collect the two beside the roller (8). Uncrush on the left side and make the camera do a 180. Crush and push the roller left, then grab the blue marble nearby (9). Get onto the brown ledge to the right and uncrush, then get the nearby red marble (19). Go to the top of the staircase from before while uncrushed and get the purple marble (22) on the edge of the brick ledge. Hit the ground below and get the two blue marbles (24) nearby. Continue across the gap, using the roller as a stepping stone. Fall into the gap with the purple marble (27) near it; get it as you fall. Trigger the nearby switch, then have the camera face the building in the distance. Crush, return to the top of the platform, and uncrush. Get the blue marble (28) nearby, then do a top-down crush. Cross to the other side of the platform, getting the blue marble (29) on the way, and trigger the switch. Backtrack to where you did the top-down crush uncrush there. Face the building nearby and crush. Grab the blue marble (30) and uncrush. Do a 180 with the camera, crush, and grab the Trophy. Return to the Trophy Thought's old platform and uncrush there. Jump to the switch nearby, then do a top-down crush and head over to the exit. ========================== Area 11: A Sinking Feeling ========================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 20 seconds Crushes: 8 From the start, go right and jump to the right ledges, grabbing two marbles (2). Crush to 2D and jump onto the first hollow ledge above. When the moving platform starts heading back to the left, jump from it to the top ledge, take two marbles (4) and go left. Drop onto the platform as it passes the wall below, grabbing another marble ahead (5). When you reach the ledge at the opposite end, jump onto it and take two more marbles (7). Uncrush at this point and turn the camera so the moving platform is in the background. Crush again and grab two marbles (9), then jump up the ledges to the left. Snatch another blue marble (10), and then uncrush to 3D once at the other side. You will see a couple of steps hidden behind the ledges you are on. Drop onto them to grab those two marbles (12). Jump back to the ledge above and switch to a side view, then crush to 2D again. Hop across the gap and take a marble (13), then ride the vertically-moving ledge at the left edge of the area downward. As you ride downward, take another marble (14), then disembark at the bottom and take another marble from the ledge there (15). Go right to the Checkpoint and a purple marble (18), then ride the platform back up to the top. Uncrush to 3D and turn the camera to the left, so the rest of the area is in the background. At the top, walk onto the narrow ledge behind the platform, and walk to the left before crushing again. After crushing back to 2D, jump across to the next ledge and take the marble there (19), and you will see another platform moving up and down. Ride the platform up and down, grabbing a total of six marbles (25). Towards the low point of the ride, crush to 2D and you will be able to reach a lone blue marble to the left of the ledge (26). Jump to the right ledge and grab the purple marble there as well (29). When the platform comes back down, board it and uncrush to 3D again. About halfway up, you will see a platform to the right. Jump around the wall and onto that platform, then collect a blue and red marble (40) to complete your collection. Jump onto the moving platform yet again and ride it to the top of the level. You will see the exit here, but do not use it yet. Walk along the narrow ledge surrounding where the moving platform rises, and turn the camera angle so that the Thoughts on the wall below are lined up properly (you may need to zoom out to see them). Once you do that, drop off the left side of the narrow ledge and you will end up on the yellow hollow block directly left of the Lightheadedness Thought. Crush to 2D to activate it, then jump to the left and grab the Memory before quickly landing back on the right ledge. After that, drop off the left side of the ledge. As you fall, you will activate the Trophy Thought. When you reach the ledge below, the Trophy will be there, so grab it. Take the Checkpoint and jump onto the moving platform when it arrives. Uncrush back to 3D and ride it to the top, then use the exit to complete the stage. ========================= Area 12: Beach Volleyball ========================= Marbles: 50 Time : 2 minutes, 20 seconds Crushes: 9 Here, begin by grabbing the six blue marbles (6) along the ground level. Jump to the ledge in front of the wall full of hollow ledges, and crush to 2D. Jump up the ledges to get another three blue marbles (9) at the top of them. You will see the Dimension and Trophy Thoughts activate below as well. For now, push the ball to the left so it blocks the Dimension Trophy. Go left and drop down, collecting three more marbles (12), then uncrush while standing atop the ball. Once in 3D mode, the switch will be pressed, causing a couple of the blocks to shift around. Crush to 2D again and grab the two purple marbles (18), then head all the way right to reach the Trophy now accessible by one of the moving blocks. Go back to the main area and push the ball off the edge of the stage (it will respawn at the top, not to worry). Then, jump up the hollow ledges again and uncrush at the top. At the top, turn the camera around so you see the opposite half of the stage in the foreground, with the ramp to the right. Push the ball towards the ramp, where it will rest, then jump onto the ball itself. You will see small ledges with marbles to the right of the ramp as well as along the ramp itself. From your perch atop the ball, jump over the ramp to the small ledges on the other side, and collect the blue and red marbles (30). At the bottom ledge, there is an opening you can walk through to reach the central area. Once there, collect the four blue marbles in the square formation and the lone purple marble (37), and turn the camera so the hollow ledges are in the background, then crush to 2D. Jump up the ledges, grabbing a single marble (38) on the way up. Once you reach the top, proceed to go back to the ramp. This time, ride the ramp straight down to pick up the purple and blue marbles (43). In the alcove you fall into at the bottom of the ramp, collect three more marbles (46). Turn the camera angle so the exit portal is on the ledge to the right, then crush to 2D. Crouch and crawl through the path to the left to retrieve the Memory. Crawl back out and uncrush, then switch to a top-down view and crush again to reach the upper ledge. From here, uncrush to 3D and look toward the exit ledge. You need to run and jump over the lower area to reach the exit. Once you get over there, grab the remaining four marbles (50) and exit the stage. ===================== Area 13: On The Rocks ===================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 5 seconds Crushes: 7 First, crush and collect all of the marbles on the way up (6), then crawl out of the left exit. Uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and go left to find a structure similar to before. Repeat the same task here to collect some more marbles (10); you'll also have to avoid the gap made by the moving sheet. This time, uncrush on the far right platform, then turn the camera to face your first alcove. Crush, jump to the Trophy, uncrush, and reclimb the second ascension you used just moments ago. Head to the platform on the far left, uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and repeat the same task here, too, for more marbles (16). This time, when you exit to the left, uncrush on the brown platform; this way, you can easily crawl to the nearby Memory. Next, go into the gap nearby (the one you'll see if you press Right on the D-Pad) and repeat the usual task here for more marbles (29). Remember, to get past the block, you'll need to wait for the sheet to eliminate it, then jump over the gap. At the top-left, uncrush and get the nearby blue marble (30). Go around to the back of the center structure. Here, move the camera so you can see the red marble. After the sheet passes you, crush and crawl to it, then quickly return to the top by jumping. Then uncrush and get into the exit. ==================== Area 14: Jolly Roger ==================== Marbles: 30 Time : 1 minute, 50 seconds Crushes: 5 From the start, walk directly across to the opposite side of the stage. Turn the camera twice and you will spot the Trophy Thought on the wall below. Stand along the narrow green block along the edge and crush to 2D, then drop down and crouch through the narrow passage below to get the Trophy. Crawl back out and get onto the green beam above, and uncrush back to 3D. With that out of the way, it's time to collect all of the marbles on the ground level. There are a total of 12 blue marbles (12) you can collect by wandering around the main area, as well as along a green beam jutting out over the gap near the ball. After you are done collecting, go back to where the ball is. You will see it on an elevated ledge with three tall green towers behind it. Line up the camera angle so those three beams are directly behind the ball, then crush to 2D. If you did this correctly, you will see the red marble above sitting between the rightmost two beams. Push the ball to the left, and it will hit a green wall ahead (the camera will skip, as if a cutscene is triggered, so you will know this was the correct move). With that done, uncrush and switch to a top-down view, then push the ball directly across the middle area (another auto-pan of the camera will take place). Head over to the purple marble nearby (15) and grab it. Go to the ball and uncrush back to 3D. Pick up the lone marble (16), and turn the camera so that the exit portal is out in the distant background. Push the ball straight at it; the ball will drop off the high ledge, cross the ghost block, and rest at the opposite wall. Now that the ball is in position, jump across to a green block ledge where a purple marble (19) is resting. Jump back over to the larger platform and turn the camera around so you can see the three green towers. Jump across to the lowest one, then hop up to the top to grab the Memory. Hop back down to the first of the three steps, and drop onto the green block between the first two steps. Use the ledge alongside it to reach the red marble (29) between the highest two steps. From here, drop down to the lower area (do not jump, simply fall off). Turn the camera so you have a side view of the stage, and walk along the green path jutting over the wide gap, parallel to the ghost block that the ball went across. At the end, crush to 2D and you should be able to jump onto the ball. Use it to reach the next ledge and grab the last marble (30). After that, uncrush and walk around to the exit. ================= Area 15: Dive In! ================= Marbles: 30 Time : 2 minutes, 10 seconds Crushes: 11 Starting off, grab the two marbles on the green block you start on (2). While on the more narrow green beam in the background, turn the camera around twice to reveal the Memory to the right. Crush to 2D and crawl over to get it, then crawl out and uncrush. Turn the camera again twice and move back to the starting point. Crush to 2D again and push the ball to the right, causing it to rest against a short green block. Go across and take two blue marbles (4), then uncrush and switch to the top- down view. Crush again and push the ball over to the now lowered green wall to stop the ball. Uncrush and jump from the hollow ledge onto the ball, and onto the higher ledge. Grab the Checkpoint and another marble (5), then turn the camera to the left once and crush again. Grab two marbles (7) and jump to the ledge with the next ball on it. Uncrush and run past the ball, making sure to take the purple marble (10) and a lone marble (11) hovering over the far ledge. From the blue marble, turn the camera so the ball is in the background to the right, and crush to 2D. Walk left along the hollow ledge to the end, take the marble (12), then uncrush and turn the camera around twice before crushing yet again. This should activate the Trophy Thought on the wall, provided you turned the camera around to reveal it. Jump to take the Trophy. From here, uncrush and turn the camera to the right once, so you can see the red marble in an alcove below. Crush to 2D so you can reach the Checkpoint on the left ledge, then go down and right to the red marble (22). Uncrush and turn the camera left once, and crush again. Go left and jump over the small gap to reach the lone blue marble (23), and then uncrush once more. Next, make your way back up the ledges like you did before until you reach the second ball again. This time, while in 3D, push the second ball straight ahead so it stops next to a hollow block. Turn the camera to a side view, where the main part of the level is on the right side. Crush to 2D at this point and push the ball right so it hits the short green wall. Jump from the hollow ledge to the left and onto the ball, then continue to the ledges above. Now, make your way to the top of the stage while grabbing the final seven blue marbles (30). You will see a switch on the ledge below; drop onto the switch and one of the walls above will move (in 3D) to grant access to the exit. Crawl through the opening to the right and run back up the stairs to the top, then uncrush to 3D and exit the stage. ========================= Area 16: Lost On Vacation ========================= Marbles: 40 Time : 1 minute, 55 seconds Crushes: 6 NOTE: For most of this stage, you may want to stick with the top-down view while at ground level to make navigating the maze easier. Starting off, follow the path to the ball at the center of the intersection. Push it forward and you will find a large green switch to the north. First, go south to grab four marbles (4) and the Checkpoint. Then, go north to the switch and jump to the adjacent ledge to take another purple marble (7). Jump across to the opposite ledge, and you will see two fragile blocks in the corner. Turn the camera to the side so that the Memory above is to the right, then stand on the fragile blocks to clear the first one. Once you hit the second one, crush to 2D. With the area flattened, grab the red marble (17) in the right alcove, then go back onto the hollow ledge and uncrush to escape. Continue around the maze to the other side of the ball, and push it forward so it falls into the pit ahead. Once you do that, walk forward to the edge of the path and turn the camera so the rest of the level is in the background, and crush to 2D as the ball falls. Head to the left and grab five marbles (22), then head back to the right. Stand under the hollow ledge and uncrush, and quickly get on the side on of the ball opposite the switch, before it reappears. You will now be on the side of the ball opposite the switch. Push the ball onto the switch, which will cause the blocks above to shift around. Go around to the other side of the ball, and jump from the ledge onto the ball, continuing to the upper platform. Use the Checkpoint and switch to the top- down view before crushing again. Take the first marble (23) up here and uncrush, then look over the short green ledge to the side. Jump across the hall below to reach the platform with a purple marble above it. Take that purple marble (26), then turn the camera so the Trophy Thought below is lined up. Walk to the lower-left edge of the platform and crush, then drop down and collect the Trophy. Jump up the hollow ledges and uncrush at the top, then drop down to the middle area, make your way back to the ball atop the switch, and get to the upper area once more. This time, follow the arc of blue marbles (29) as you jump across to the next platform. Turn the camera so that the isolated pillar with the purple marble on top of it is in the foreground, then crush to 2D. Go right and drop down to collect that purple marble (32), and continue right while jumping to collect a few more marbles (36). At the rightmost ledge, uncrush to 3D mode once more. Turn the camera around to spot the Memory on a somewhat hidden ledge behind the block you are on. Grab it, then turn the camera so that the exit portal above is to the side. The remaining marbles are in the air ahead, so jump across to grab them (40) and continue up to reach the exit. ================= Area 17: Old Giza ================= Marbles: 50 Time : 2 minutes, 30 seconds Crushes: 9 From where you start, you will see a structure behind you with the Memory hiding in an alcove behind it. Turn the camera so the side facing the abyss is in front, then crush to 2D and walk to the left end of the path, grabbing a marble (1) there. Uncrush and grab the Memory from the alcove, then crush and walk back across to where you started. This time, go forward to the main pyramid structure. Run around the perimeter at ground level to find three more marbles (4). Back at the start, jump up the low ledges to reach the next tier. Grab the four marbles (8), one at each corner, then head over by the ball. With it and the "pyramid" on your left, crush to 2D and push it to the left, so that it hits the now-flattened wall, and then uncrush. Run around to the other side and jump from the elevated platform to the ball to the upper ledge. Up here, grab another four marbles (12) in each corner. In the middle, there is an alcove where you can find a purple marble (15) and a switch. Press the switch to move a few of the solid green blocks around. After you do that, get to the corner closest to the ball on this level, and turn the camera so the ball is to your right. Next, you should crush to 2D and push the ball across to the right. From here, uncrush and run around so you can reach the ledges next to the ball now, and jump to the uppermost level. Finally at the top, grab the purple marble (18) and hit the switch to move some more blocks around. Turn the camera to a top-down view and crush to activate the Trophy Thought, which is now fully visible on the flattened floor. This will also cause a whole lot of marbles to fill the maze-like path ahead of you (the marbles are only accessible if you crush from above while standing on the highest level, so keep that in mind). Begin by following the path, grabbing the first 11 marbles (29) and the Trophy in an adjacent alcove. When you come to the first ball, uncrush and push the ball forward until it falls out of the stage. Quickly crush back to 2D and run southward to the wall blocking access to the flattened center area. When you get there, uncrush to pass "through" the wall, and crush again at the other side. Move to the center area and uncrush/crush to realign the marbles in the maze. With all that done, you should be able to navigate the rest of the maze, obtaining the remaining blue and red marbles (50) and reaching the exit at the end. ==================== Area 18: Castle Rock ==================== Marbles: 50 Time : 4 minutes, 45 seconds Crushes: 12 When you begin, you will notice that there are switches in each corner. Each switch has a color associated with it, which will move small blocks in the center area. For now, begin by running the perimeter of the ground level, collecting a total of 14 marbles (14). Once you do that, go back to the beginning and switch to a top-down view before crushing to 2D. Push the octaball against the edge of the level, picking up a hidden marble (15), then move it onto the blue switch to move the small blue block. Next, still crushed, go around to the opposite side to find another octaball. Let's do this again: push the octaball against the wall, and then all the way over to the green switch. Be sure to grab the purple marble (18) first! With all four blocks in the center lined up, it's time to move on. Uncrush and switch to a side view, and look to the center area. You will see a small ledge you can jump into, with a moving block platform above. Grab two marbles (20) and jump onto the platform when it moves downward. Stand on its right edge and crush to 2D from the side. When the platform moves upward at its rightmost point, jump to the ledge above you to land and get another blue marble (21). Uncrush at the this ledge and then turn the camera to the right once. There are steps leading downward, but with a column moving up and down to restrict access. Go down and take a marble (22), crawl through at the bottom when you can to get the Memory, then crawl back out and return to the top of the stairs. Switch to the top-down view and crush again. This will activate the Dimension Thought, but that is okay for now. Follow the narrow path along, crossing the bridge of blocks, and grabbing five more marbles at the other side (27). Get to the far end of the path and uncrush. Next, turn the camera so you see the fragile blocks to the right. Grab the lone marble (28) and walk across to those blocks, then turn the camera to the right and stand on both sets of fragile blocks to crumble them. On the hollow ledge below, stand on the right edge and crush to 2D. In the flattened background area now, collect a marble (29) and drop down to the bottom area before uncrushing. You will now be able to grab the red marble (39). Since you can't get back up from here, drop out to the ground below and follow the same path as before to reach the second tall barrier above (after crossing the colored blocks). (Just note that, with the moving platform, this time DO NOT crush and just ride up on the left side of the platform and jump to the top platform.) Once you get back up there, turn the camera to the side and you'll see some steps and marbles to the left of here. Grab those three blue marbles (42) and stand on the yellow block before crushing. You will be able to grab the purple marble here (45). While in flat mode, jump to the right ledge so you can uncrush. Do that and stand on the edge of the hollow block before the narrow green bridge leading to the fragile blocks. This time, turn the camera around so that the Trophy Thought is in the distance on the left side (if you turn the camera and look around, you will see it). Crush and you should end up standing right where the Trophy will appear. After you grab it, uncrush once more. Jump to the slightly elevated ledge next to it and make sure the marbles in the air in the background are to the left, then crush to 2D. Now that the background is flattened, you can go left and grab three blue marbles at once (48). Now, uncrush and you can jump to the blue marble (49) nearest you safely enough. Backtrack to the elevated platform near the tall barrier, then go to the stairs from earlier that are nearby. You can jump from them to the final blue marble. Before going through the exit though, uncrush and turn the camera once to the right. Crush to flatten the background, and walk to the lowest point of the green ledge to the left, and uncrush there. You will end up in the background next to the Dimension Thought. Jump across and drop into the alcove on the other side of it, then turn the camera so one of the marbles lines up behind you. Crush/uncrush to grab it (50). Make your way back to the top level as you did before and continue to the exit! =================== Area 19: Avalanche! =================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 35 seconds Crushes: 8 NOTE: We'll be assuming that the initial orientation of the camera is facing north. Begin by going around and grabbing all of the marbles (14) you can grab without crushing. While you're on the long eastern path, be sure to get on the short southern metal block of the final platform, face west, and crush to find the Trophy. Jump across the gap to get it, then uncrush. Next, find the octaball on the northern side. Push it east once, then execute a top-down crush and push it south to the three-way intersection. Uncrush and push it just past that impeding green block from earlier. Now, balls will start piling up behind it. Push them out of the way and push the octaball further west again the wall. Jump from the southern staircase onto it, then crush while facing west on the left half of the octaball. Jump to the purple marble (17), then to the Memory, then back to the octaball to uncrush. Since you probably had to push a spherical ball north, you can use it for this next step. Do a top-down crush and push it (or the octaball) north onto the switch. Use the ball as a step when uncrushed to reach the tall pillar nearby, then face west and crush. Go along the path for some marbles (21) and, when you reach the little fork in the road, go into the gap below for that blue marble (23) (you'll grab another as you do). Crawl right to the ledges again, crush again, and go along the path, this time opting to go for the higher platform. There, uncrush and grab the nearby red marble (33) in the alcove. Then go west (still uncrushed) along the ghost block ledge and follow the south path for two more blue marbles (35). Crush while facing west on the southern half of the platform to get another blue marble (36) before uncrushing. Then jump to the blue marble (37). Crush here while facing west, then crawl to the right to find the purple marble (40). Then simply head into the exit. ============================ Area 20: A Tale of Two Piers ============================ Marbles: 40 Time : 3 minutes, 10 seconds Crushes: 12 NOTE: We'll be assuming that the initial orientation of the camera is facing north. First, collect the two blue marbles (2) on the bridge between the piers, then have the camera face north. When near the western pier, crush and ride a block so you can get onto the arch (grabbing a marble on the way (3)) and get the Trophy. Crawl beneath the arch and get the blue marble (4) and uncrush. Go along the pier now and collect all of the marbles (11) - don't forget about the alcove in the back of the center structure; DO NOT USE the top-down crush used to get the purple marble atop it. Trigger the switch in the alcove of the northern structure, then get on the northern side of the pier. Use a top-down view to get onto the green block you can see, then make the camera face east. Crush and go through the pier platform to the blue marble (12), then continue to the end of the path, getting another blue marble (16) on the way. Uncrush there, then get on the eastern half of the platform, face south, and crush. Get the blue marble (14), uncrush, and go west to another (15). Crush there and continue to another blue marble (16). Uncrush at the end of the path, then go around the corner to be able to reach the Memory. Then crush, go back across the bridge. Uncrush on the raised block, make the camera face west, and crush once more. Go up the stairs and get another blue marble (17), then jump across the gap while running. Continue up to the pier and grab the marble (18) to the left and DON'T uncrush on the top platform there. Rather, uncrush somewhere else, trigger the switch nearby, then get away from the switch. Ride the block that moves up to the purple marble (21), then you can do what I previously said not to. Proceed north on this western pier to the elevated blocks. Face east and crush, then grab the two blue marbles (24) atop the platforms. Uncrush at the top platform here. Here, get on the east side of the structure to find a purple marble (27), then get on the south side of the platform. While the camera faces west, crush and get the other two blue marbles (28), then continue west and uncrush on the metal block below the platform from before. Crush on the middle block while facing north and grab the two marbles (30), then head to the lower level without a crush; just fall off. Head into the northern alcove to find a red marble (40), then face south and crush. Uncrush on the moving blocks, then get on the metal structure of the eastern pier. Crush while facing north, then uncrush on one of the metal outcrops, then head around to the exit. ====================== Area 21: The Big Climb ====================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 20 seconds Crushes: 6 Upon arriving, get on the left half of the start platform and crush. Wait for a platform to move within vertical jumping distance and use it to reach the purple marble (3). Repeat this exact same thing on the right half of the platform to get another purple marble (6). Now, while on the right side of this platform, switch to a top-down view to find a girder. Cross it and go around to the back of the extra-large wall to find the Memory for this area. Go back to the main platform and crush on the center of it, then use the moving platforms as steps to the top, grabbing ten blue marbles (16) on the way. At the top, grab the nearby blue marble and purple marble (20). Uncrush and go left and south to another two blue marbles (22). Go north to the barrier and do a top-down crush to reach the blue marble (23). Now, see those overlapping platforms? Cross this to the blue marble (24) on the left, then get the Memory nearby. Process to the red marble (34), then go back to where you started with the barrier. Uncrush and go south to the end, then do a top-down crush. Go right and, on the long middle platform, uncrush. Grab the two purple marbles (40) here, then move the camera so that it's facing the Trophy Thought halves. On the left side of your current platform, with the camera as previously mentioned, crush and grab the Trophy. Then crawl under the gap to the middle of the platform and, as before, use the moving platforms above to reach the top. There, uncrush and collect the barrier. Do a top-down crush there and cross the overlapping platforms to reach the exit. =================== Area 22: Snookered! =================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 20 seconds Crushes: 9 I'd start with a top-down view. Grab the two marbles (2) north of you, then the two blue marbles and one purple marble (7) to the west on the metal platform. Use the platform branching off to the west to find four more blue marbles (11). Now, turn the camera to face the Trophy Thought. Crawl onto the top of the two fragile blocks, then crawl onto the lower one. QUICKLY crush and automatically grab the Trophy as a result, then crawl west onto solid ground. Uncrush and return to the starting area. On the east side of this platform, you'll find some stair-like platforms; use them and collect the four blue marbles (15) on the way. Then get back on the starting platform and push the ball to the left (assuming the stairs are to the right of you). Then perform a crush where the blue switches are close to the camera. Now, press the right blue switch to make the ball go up with the platform. When it is at the top, press the left blue switch to make a platform above smack the ball down onto the other side. Now, while you're still crushed like this, press the right blue switch and get onto the moving platform. This time, jump to the platform that smacked the ball. Uncrush there and make it where the camera faces that red marble. Crush and grab it (25), then grab the blue marbles grouped as three nearby (28), and then the purple marble (31). Uncrush and then do a top-down crush. Grab the blue marble nearby (32) and uncrush from the platform it was on. Grab the three blue marbles nearby (35), then drop down onto the ledge below to find two blue marbles and a purple marble (40). Drop down back onto the start platform. There, activate the moving platform in 3D (with the switch nearest the staircase). Now, see that dark gray platform it was on? Get on there and have the camera be from the angle which places the stairs on your left and not from above. On the left third of the platform, crush and you'll fall near the Memory. Grab it and get back onto the start platform. Uncrush. Use the switch nearest the stairs to get the platform to move again and go to the top with it. There, cross the ledge that is one-tile wide. Angle the camera so that the left part of the screen is blocked by gray wall and crush. Get to the left side of the platform and uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad and crush again. Go left a few more steps, uncrush, then get onto the light-gray platform. Do a top-down crush, get onto the other platform, and uncrush. Move the camera so that the exit light is on the right side of the screen. Crush and head over to that light to exit the level. ========================= Area 23: The Ferris Wheel ========================= Marbles: 50 Time : 3 minutes, 55 seconds Crushes: 8 First, do a top-down crush and grab the nearby blue marble (1). Uncrush and go forward and left to the purple marble (4) under the Ferris wheel. Then focus the camera so that it's facing the Ferris wheel. Crush and grab the two blue marbles (6) near the Trophy Thought; you probably should do so when on the ground. From here on out, I'll refer to various positions on the Ferris wheel. Assume the front is where the stairs are, and that clock positions are ... well, like the hands on the a clock. The top is 12 o'clock, the bottom is 6 o'clock, and so on. Now, hop right onto the Ferris wheel itself; I'll assume you jumped on from the left, from that narrow ledge. Hop onto the front ledge near the 4 o'clock position and move the camera to face left. Crush to get some marbles and jump to get more (23). Get back on a moving platform and ride around while crushed to get three more blue marbles (26). Now, ride up to the 12 o'clock position and drop off. Crush and grab the blue marble (27), then go right and crawl through the gap. Jump to the blue marble and crawl to the next one (29). Uncrush and make the camera face the back of the Ferris wheel before crushing. Crawl to the blue marble here (30), then ride a platform up to reach another blue one and a purple one (34). Continue to the 11 o'clock to find another three blue marbles (37), then ride to the 3 o'clock to find a purple marble and a blue marble (41). Now, you can see that Memory nearby, right? Get on last tile of the landing ledge and uncrush. Face the Ferris wheel's side and crush, but ONLY when a platform has just passed. Drop down to the Memory. Uncrush and get on the lower ledge nearby. Go left and across the gap to find four more blue marbles (45) by the time you reach the 8 o'clock. Get on a ledge there so we can continue with the front of the Ferris wheel. Around the 10 or 11 o'clock, you can get two more blue marbles (47). As you make the transition from 12 to 11 o'clock, you'll be able to drop down into a gap just left of the 12 o'clock to find a blue marble (48). Now, back to the back of the Ferris wheel. Ride around to the 8 o'clock and jump off there. Climb through the gap and go into the big pit where you're just above the Thought of Lightheadedness when crushed. Uncrush to be on the other side; get the two marbles here (50). Now, from that metal platform between where the two marbles were, face the Ferris wheel and crush to activate the Trophy Thought. Jump to the Trophy, uncrush, then do a top-down crush and head over to the exit. ================= Area 24: Rush Job ================= Marbles: 50 Time : 2 minutes, 35 seconds Crushes: 10 NOTE: We'll be assuming that the initial orientation of the camera is facing north. NOTE: These "jump around the barrier" tricks ARE necessary for this strategy. First, you should jump around the southern end of the barrier nearby - it's a risk, but it works and saves a crush. Walk along the edge of the platform for four blue marbles (4), then use a top-down crush to get onto the barrier. Walk to the east end of it and make the camera face north. Hop to the blue marble (5) below, get the purple marble (8) by walking to the left, then use a crush to get back up top. Get the blue marble (9) up here, then do a 180 with the camera. Crush to get more marbles (14) and the Trophy. Get back up top and trigger the switch, then go to the west end of the platform STILL IN THE CRUSH (that's fairly crucial, for how easy this makes it). Grab the blue marble (15) by standing on the stand-alone block, then fall into the gap below. Grab the blue marbles (merged) (17). Get onto the platform and crawl left through the gap for another blue marble (18), then get the three nearby upon landing (21). Go back to the platform you landed on and uncrush. Do a 180 with the camera, crush, and go into the gap. Grab the blue marble (22), then uncrush at the left side of the ledge. Get the nearby red marble (32), then face the alcove and crush. Get on the platform below to find the Memory, then uncrush on the left side of the platform. Try that "jump around the barrier" trick we used at the start to get on the other side. Once you're here, at the bottom of the staircase, enter a top-down crush. Get the three blue marbles and purple marble (38); remember to jump over the gap for the purple marble. Uncrush on the other side of the gap and get the nearby blue marble (39), then trigger the switch nearby. Run back up the stairs to the landing platform. Trigger the switch on the nearby platform above the doorway, then get on the edge of the platform you originally landed on. Use a top-down crush to get back on the above platform. There, uncrush and get on the square platform nearby, grabbing another blue marble (40) as you do. Ride the platform to the other side and get four more blue marbles (44) there. Crush while the Thought of Lightheadedness will be visible so you can get two blue marbles and a purple marble (49), then get on the blockwalker and uncrush. Ride around facing the exit until you'll be able to reach the platform near it. Crush, grab the blue marble (50), uncrush, and head over to the exit. ================= Area 25: Stackers ================= Marbles: 40 Time : 3 minutes, 50 seconds Crushes: 10 I'd begin by using a top-down view and running around the first platform, getting every marble I can get with basic jumping or running and, as far as crushes go, I used a top-down crush to see most of the marbles. If the marble is atop a block that is black, in a top-down crush, just jump over the other side of the gap to get the marble. Also remember the purple marble behind the big staircase. Also remember to get the Memory. From the staircase, with the camera facing its top, drop down into the gap between it and the right side of the bridge ahead, then crawl into the alcove behind you. By the time the platform was emptied, I had 16 marbles. Now, get onto the staircase and have the camera face it. Do a crush and get two more blue marbles (18) here. Get to the next-to-the-top platform and on either the right or left edge, then uncrush. Then empty this platform of its marbles. Remember the two under the bridge overhang. By the time this platform emptied, I had 24 marbles. Next, go to the two switches on the far side of the platform from the bridge. While facing it, press the one on the left to make a low-level bridge across. Next, push the ball towards the bridge to put it in an alcove under there. Get onto the starting platform now. There, crush and activate one of the ball portraits near the staircase; for reference, I'm using the one to the left of the stairs. Uncrush and push it off the ledge, then crush and push it further left to hit a wall on the other platform. Get onto that platform and trigger the other switch to raise the bridge. Do a top-down crush where the switches are to the south of you. Push the ball west, then go around and push it north. Uncrush and push it further into the alcove. Do the above process with the other ball portrait on the starting platform. Use the balls to climb up to the exit platform and carefully climb around to the other side, then jump off to reach the purple marble (27). Then get onto one of the far high blocks of the second platform. Face the first one and do a crush. Climb down onto the metal block, climb down another level, and climb down again to the metal block. Climb down on its lower level. Drop down and grab the purple marble (30) and uncrush. Here, make the camera turn 180 degrees and crush again. Grab the red marble (40) and uncrush from the right side of the platform. Press Right on the D-Pad to turn the camera, then crush. The Trophy Thought will activate; grab the Trophy nearby, then go up the platforms to the left to the first platform. Here, uncrush and go up the staircase. At the top, jump on top of the balls, then to the exit platform to leave. ===================== Area 26: Faulty Tower ===================== Marbles: 50 Time : 3 minutes, 55 seconds Crushes: 12 Begin by going forward and grabbing the blue marble (1). Get on the platform at the base of the tower and do a crush while the camera is facing it. You'll end up riding some blocks; be sure to get off to grab the blue marble (2). Once the rightmost block rises again, get on and ride up to the next blue marble (3). Then use the leftmost rising block to reach a purple marble (6), and use the middle block to reach the blue marble (7). Wait there for a block to take you to the top; there, get the three blue marbles (10) and the Checkpoint. Now, assuming you haven't changed the camera, get onto the lower platform on your left. Press Left on the D-Pad and crush. Jump left off of the platform to reach another with a blue marble (11); go to the lower platform to find three blue marbles (14) merged into one. Uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush again. Jump up the platforms until you can no longer see the platform on the left, then jump to the Memory. Once you land, go right back to the metal block and uncrush. Press Right on D-Pad and crush again. Go to the far right this time and you'll eventually activate the Trophy Thought and put the Trophy in easy reach. Grab it and uncrush. Climb back to the top of the tower as before. Assuming that the front of the tower you previously ascended is south, which I will assume for this area, you now need to head to the southeastern side of the top platform to find an elevator. Once the elevator stops, get on the platform nearby and, once the elevator rises, get back where it was. Angle the camera to face the tower front and crush. Climb down into the gap for four easy-to-reach blue marbles (19), followed by a Checkpoint and another blue marble (20) atop the platform. Uncrush and then do a top-down crush. Go around what you can here to get three blue marbles and one purple marble (26). Return to the Checkpoint and go down the stairs to the west for another blue marble (27). Then descend the metallic stairs nearby for another blue marble (28). Have the camera face the east side of the tower here and crush. Descend to the lowest metal platform and uncrush. Crawl to the red marble (38), then backtrack to the Checkpoint while crushed as before. At the Checkpoint, go further left to find a blue marble (39). Once back at the Checkpoint, go down the stairs and roam around for another two blue marbles and a purple marble in the eastern alcove (44). Now, with the camera facing the back of the tower, let the blockwalker roam around until it is just west of the platform near the barrier -- crush when the platform will still be accessible, but you can jump to the blockwalker. Once atop the blockwalker, jump to the wall and go right to find three blue marbles, one down in a pit (47). Then uncrush and make the camera face to the north. Crush and you'll notice an L-shaped metal block to the right. Get on it and uncrush, then trigger the switch. Backtrack to the previous platform with the Checkpoint, then make the camera face the back of the tower (south). Crush and grab the remaining three blue marbles (50), then go right to the exit. ====================== Area 27: The Labyrinth ====================== Marbles: 50 Time : 3 minutes, 35 seconds Crushes: 10 Upon arriving, immediately crush for two blue marbles (2), and go right for three more (5). Now, you'll probably notice the moving blocks nearby. Wait for them to make a staircase you can use and collect the seven blue marbles and one purple marble (15). Every second time the stairs are made, they'll also go horizontal soon; use that time to get the blue marble (16) further left. Afterwards, wait at the stairs near the platform for the stairs to go vertical, and use that moment to reach the platform. Uncrush on the metal platform. Press Right on the D-Pad and crush from atop the metal block, then collect the purple marble (19). Uncrush and return to the Checkpoint platform; do a top-down crush there and collect the two blue marbles (21). Uncrush on the other platform and angle the camera so you can see two different Thoughts. From the metal platform on the right, crush, but only when the moving blocks are making a formation that you can use to get atop the metal block in the background. Atop it, you'll find the Trophy from the Trophy Thought, and don't worry about the moving blocks; the Time Thought stopped their moving. After obtaining the Trophy, crawl left and into the pit, then uncrush. Go back to the metal platform on the right and, this time, crush when the platforms make a vertical tower. Climb it and uncrush at the top, then do a top-down crush. Go along both paths to collect eleven blue marbles and one purple marble (35). Next, backtrack to where you originally arrived at from the vertical tower. There will be a block there that makes a large wall when uncrushed. Find it and get on it via a top-down crush. Then do a side crush and go to the right. At the end of the metal blocks, if you look below via the R Button, you should see the Memory. Uncrush and you'll note a notch making a pit in the final block you're on; go down into it. Upon landing, go "into" the block and then towards the end of it to get the Memory. Fall back off and return to the Checkpoint near the end of the maze area. You will need to first get off when the moving blocks nearby make a staircase. Now, go back a little bit from the purple marble's old spot. Remember that blue marble in the very small alcove? Uncrush there and go to the nearby Dimensional Thought. Run along the wall next to it, under the platform above, to find a blue marble and a red marble (46). Then return to the purple marble's old spot via a top-down crush. Uncrush on the platform that looks like it's missing a chunk of its border. Here, make the camera face the exit. Crush and collect the blue marble (47), then go to the far right to another (48). Jump on the nearby metal stairs and you'll notice the moving metal block. When it is going INTO the tunnel, follow it and collect the remaining two blue marbles (50), then continue to the exit. =================== Area 28: Crazy Golf =================== Marbles: 40 Time : 4 minutes, 15 seconds Crushes: 14 First, go right and through the tunnel nearby to find a blue marble (1) near the exit on the other side. Return to the ball near the start and look at the base of the nearby tower; crawl to a purple marble (4) in an alcove there. Return to the ball and return the camera to its original setting. Do a side crush while facing the tower and push the ball to the right. Uncrush and get on the right side of the ball. Use it to get onto the platform. Grab the two blue marbles (6) there, jump to the one in the alcove (7), then uncrush. Go right to the blue marble (8) nearby, then trigger the switch. Now, get in a top-down crush and push the ball to the right, then north when uncrushed. Once it falls down, do a top-down crush and get onto the lower level. There, go around and grab the four blue marbles (12), then use various side crushes and the blockwalker to obtain three more blue marbles and two purple marbles (21). From where the ball landed, push it down the stairs onto the switch to raise some blocks. Ascend them, then do a top-down crush. Go along the path to the blue marble (22), then restart close to where you began. Uncrush and grab the nearby blue marble (23), then go back to the end of the path. There, turn the camera when uncrushed until you see three metal pillars, one slightly lower than the rest. Get on it and crush, then go right to reach the Memory, then up the platforms to the purple marble (26). Uncrush there and make the camera do a 180 before crushing again. You'll now have to make your way back to the place before the Memory - that high-up path. At the dead-end there, you'll want to turn the camera to face the exit. Use the moving platforms here to go right along the pillar tops to a blue marble (27). Jump right across the gap and go over the stairs to the red marble (37) and activate the switch. Backtrack to the moving platforms near the exit and use them to now go left and collect the purple marble (40). Finally, uncrush. If you go back towards the opposite end of the path while looking from above, you'll notice a sheet metal block. Get in line with this block, crouch, and do a crush from the side while facing the exit. Go along the path here to its end. While crouching at the end, uncrush, do a 180 with the camera, and crush again. Grab the Trophy that the Trophy Thought produces. Afterwards, uncrush again and press Left on the D-Pad. Crush again and you'll activate the Lightheadedness Thought. Get onto the ledge to the left, then drop (DO NOT JUMP) to the platform at the bottom of the gap to the right. Uncrush here, then do a top-down crush. Go along the path some, then uncrush. Face the exit and crush. Use the moving platforms to reach the exit and leave. ======================== Area 29: Locked In Space ======================== Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 40 seconds Crushes: 9 NOTE: We'll be assuming that the initial orientation of the camera is facing north. Start off by crushing immediately for two blue marbles (2), then ride the moving platform to the other side and collect some marbles there; you'll have 10 marbles by now. Jump right to the purple marble in mid-air (13), then uncrush on the ground. Crawl into the tunnel on the west side of the big tower for one more purple marble (16), then do a top-down crush and jump over the gap for another. Then get back onto the southeastern platform and crush while facing west. Now ride the platform to the right to the other side, collecting another blue marble (20) on the way. Crawl into the tunnel at the end for another (21). Uncrush and press Right on the D-Pad, then ride the platform to the right to the other side again. Atop the ramp, uncrush, then get on the platform and do a top-down crush to get the blue marble (23). Exit the crush when atop the barrier. Get onto the northern portion of it, then do a crush while the camera faces east. Get the nearby blue marble (24), then onto the platform as it comes. Drop for the red marble (34), then retrack your way to this point. Note that you must time your jump so that the other platform is beneath you; I suggest jumping for the marble as you approach from the right. When you return to the ledge before the second-level moving platform, uncrush from the metal block. Move the camera so that it faces north and get on the lower level of the metal block. Do a crush now and you'll be able to activate the Trophy Thought and get the Trophy. Anyways, back on the platform... Collect the two blue marbles here (36) if you didn't already, as well as the additional one at the left end (37). At this additional marble, land there and uncrush. Get on the southern portion of this chunk of metal and make the camera face south. Collect the Memory. Now, uncrush and get onto the staircase prior to the exit. Get on the south side of the platform while the camera faces north to notice a tunnel. Crawl through it to find a purple marble (40). Get it, then proceed to the exit. ========================= Area 30: Rockin' The Boat ========================= Marbles: 40 Time : 2 minutes, 45 seconds Crushes: 7 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. NOTE: How you ride the platforms greatly dictates how many crushes you will use. Practice riding them in a crush-efficient manner so that you can learn when you need to crush because, trust me, this strategy very much will not account for their movement; some people may find this to work, and others may not. First, duck and crush, then crawl left and go along the path to the Memory. Then, at the top, head east to the blue marble (1) while still crushed. Uncrush at the far right. Go north and collect two marbles (3) by the time you jump to the other platform. Now, use the left moving platform to land on the metal blocks near where you started for a blue marble and a purple marble (7). Be sure to head back to them and use a top-down crush to ride them; get on the right moving platform. Ride to the purple marble (10), then crush while facing north to reach the platform with the Trophy Thought. Get the Trophy, then back onto the platform when it comes by. Afterwards, when on the right platform, jump onto the eastern platform where you'll find another purple marble (13). Use a top-down crush on the lone gray tile for a red marble (23), then jump across the gap and uncrush. Get all of the marbles up here (33), then use a top-down crush on the gray platform. Ride a moving platform to the right to reach a path with a gap; go over it to reach the north set of platforms. Go west and reach all of the marbles on the way (36). Exit the top-down crush on the east side, on top of the rectangular block. Face west and crush, then get the blue marble (37). Face south and crush, then use the moving platforms to reach a purple marble (40). Then ride on the rightmost of these platforms to the exit. ============================= Area 31: Contains Small Parts ============================= Marbles: 50 Time : 3 minutes, 10 seconds Crushes: 17 Begin by crushing and going up the stairs to the right to collect two blue marbles merged as four (4) on the way. Upon landing, go left and into the gap for two more blue marbles (6). Return to the rightmost bit of the platform, and then jump right to the next platform. Get the four merged marbles (10), then use a top-down crush for three more (13). Return to the previous platform and uncrush. Press Right on the D-Pad. Crush and jump off of the right side of this platform, angling left as you fall. Collect the red marble and two blue marbles merged as one (25). Get back to the top of the platform, uncrush, and return to where you started. Crush as you originally did and go up three steps before uncrushing. Collect the five blue marbles (30) on this platform, then go north onto the next platform for two more (32). Then backtrack to the platform where you collected the five blue marbles. Here, have the camera face the platform to the west and crush. Get onto the upper platform, uncrush, and get the three blue marbles nearby (35). Make the camera face north, then crush so you can get the Memory. Uncrush and make the camera face east, then crush and go down to the three blue marbles (38). Get on the left side of the platform, uncrush, and press Left on the D-Pad. Crush, go left as far as possible, and uncrush. Press Left on the D-Pad again and crush, then step on the switch. Backtrack to the top of the platform and, there, quickly jump to the purple marble (41) and back onto the platform. Then uncrush and make the camera face south. Crush and collect the two blue marbles (43). After grabbing the one on the right, uncrush and get the blue marble (44). Next, make the camera face north, then get do a crush. This will end up making a ball appear from a portrait if you faced north. Crush on the southern part of the platform you're on that is lower than the rest, then crush. Crawl to the right side of the ball and push it left. Also grab the purple marble (47). Now, uncrush and push the ball north. Get on the metal block near it, then make the camera face east. Jump up to the ghost roller; roll it to the right. Go right onto it. Now, make the camera face away from the big wall while you're atop the roller and crush. You'll then get the Trophy. Now, jump onto the ground, uncrush, make the camera face north, and crush again. Get the purple marble (45) and use the exit when you uncrush. ======================= Area 32: Can I Kick It? ======================= Marbles: 50 Time : 2 minutes, 55 seconds Crushes: 13 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, collect the five marbles (5) on your platform. Walk onto the platform below yours and collect two more (7). When the platform makes it here, jump around the barrier to the other side. Then make the camera face south and crush to get the purple marble (11). Uncrush and return to the moving platform, then do a top-down crush at the other side. Go right and uncrush. (Remember, you've collected a few marbles as you rode the platform.) Here, go around and collect the five blue marbles (17). Then get on the north side of the big gear and make the camera face east. Crush and drop to the red marble (25) and get under the moving platform. Uncrush there and repeat, this time actually getting on the moving platform. Once the platform is one full "Danny height" below the stationary one above, uncrush, then press Right on the D-Pad and crush to get the Memory. Get on the right side of the platform and uncrush, then use a top-down crush. When the moving platform comes around, ride it and uncrush. Get the three marbles (30) along the path here, then make the camera face south and crush. Go left for a few (32), then uncrush and continue for some more (34). Recrush and go right to the purple marble (37). Get atop the steps and quickly get on the platform, then use a top-down crush to get two more (39), then uncrush and GET OFF. Go around to the back of the platform for two more (41), then make the camera south and crush so you can get a purple marble in the gap (44), then climb up the ledges to a blue one (45). Use the rolled-up slug as a step to reach the top platform and uncrush. Face west, crush, get the blue marble (46), and uncrush. Walk off the platform and then, while facing east and on the south side, crush. Step on the fragile block, then jump from the solid platform to the metal block, then go left to the Trophy. Return to your platform and uncrush. Use a top-down crush to get back on top of your platform, then face north after uncrushing. Crush, get on the platform to the left, and collect the blue and purple marbles (50). Uncrush and head to the exit. ======================= Area 33: Merry-Go-Round ======================= Marbles: 50 Time : 4 minutes, 5 seconds Crushes: 9 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go along the path until, to the west, you see a blue marble. Going beneath it are some platforms; pick the one with the mostly-white top, then grab the blue marble (1). Ride it to the next platform. There, just cross the top and take the two blue marbles (3), getting on the platform on the other side. Ride for a full lap back to the start platform, getting five more blue marbles (8) on the way. Here, get the two blue marbles and one purple marble (13) before departing for the next platform. There, you'll want to repeatedly ride various platforms to reap the rewards of the blue, purple, and red marbles (27); use top-down crushes to back on top for other platforms. Also remember to get the three blue marbles (30) on the lower level, one underneath the block. Ride some platforms to the next ledge. There, after grabbing the Checkpoint, get in a top-down crush and push both slugs over the edge, then collect the four blue marbles and one purple marble (37) here. Have the camera face east and crush, then go left into the pit. Uncrush and trigger the switch. Backtrack to the platforms and ride a solid metal one now. Face north and do a crush and ride down for a bit. When you see an outcropping coming left from the central platform, jump on there and uncrush. Collect the four blue marbles (41) around the base, then face north and crush in front of the "ladder". Get to the top of it and uncrush. Go forward to collect a blue marble (42), and do a top-down crush in the back when you can be see. Collect the purple marble (45) and the Checkpoint, then uncrush. Collect the Memory, trigger the switch, and get the two blue marbles (47). Now, you can see that western purple marble (50), correct? It is on a ramp; as in, you'll need to walk up to the top of the ramp and go down as a platform is approaching. For convenience, pick the white-top one. Once on it, do a top-down crush and, hopefully, you'll manage to be able to grab the Trophy, if the moving Trophy Thought is close enough; if not, ride around again and again. Now, get onto the platform that once housed the Trophy Thought. When it gets close enough to the exit/start platform (same general area; east side), get on and run to the exit. ===================== Area 34: Gobbledygook ===================== Marbles: 60 Time : 5 minutes, 55 seconds Crushes: 20 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, before doing anything, simply push the roller away to find a blue marble (1). Begin by going to the right and grabbing the blue marble (2), then along the northern path for three more (5). Get atop the staircase there and have the camera face north. Crush and get onto the roller, then uncrush to be on it. Make the camera face west and go right across the pillars for two blue marbles (7). Get north of the previous staircase and make the camera face east while on ground level. Crush and then uncrush in front of the skull. Press Left on the D-Pad and crouch where the purple marble will appear when you crush; when you crush, you'll get it (10). Return to the northern staircase and get on top of it. Then rotate to have the camera face east. Do a crush, then go left for some blue marbles (15). Go left into the gap, then right across the fragile blocks for a purple marble (18). Grab it and get back across the blocks. Uncrush now and press Left on the D-Pad, then crush again. Get the Trophy resulting from the Trophy Thought much like you did the purple marble, then go up the stairs to the left for the blue marble (19). Jump to the platform on the right, then get on the metal blocks at the end and uncrush. Press Right on the D-Pad and east to the raised platform. East from there, go downstairs and grab the blue marbles (21) - one around the corner from it, and one in plain sight. Then go west and upstairs to find one more (22) and leave it at that for now. Now, remember where the blue marble around the corner of the staircase was? Go there, have the camera face west, crush, go left for the purple marble (25) and go back to the ball. Make the camera face west and crush. Push the ball to the right, then get on the same platform as it is. Get in a top-down crush and push the ball to the left and up, onto the elevator platform. Get to where the ball originally was to find a blue switch; while the camera faces west, crush from atop it and trigger it. The ball on the elevator will go up; get off the switch when it is at the top. Get at the bottom of the western staircase, do a top-down crush, and go north. Uncrush to find the ball nearby. Get the three nearby marbles (28), then make the camera face north. Crush and push the ball to the left, then uncrush, go down a level, and repeat. Now that the cockroach is dead, collect the various blue marbles here (32) and get atop the leftmost highest platform. Do a top-down crush and jump around the corner to the platform. Uncrush and get near the stairs; collect the blue marble next to them and the one atop them (34). At the top, get on the metal blocks and make the camera face south. Crush and go right to collect a couple of blue marbles (36). On the two-tile platform, jump off of the left edge. Hop left across the fragile blocks to the purple marble (39) and the Memory. Go right to the platform to the right and get upstairs to where you found the two-tile metal platform. The platform to the left has a two-tile stack. Get on it and uncrush. Trigger the switch nearby to set some platforms in motion. Face north and crush, then use the vertically-moving platform to reach the purple marble (42). Uncrush there and have the camera face south and down (for convenience). Move right to the next platform, then again when possible, grabbing the blue marble (43) on the way. On there, do a top-down crush and get onto the platform nearby. Collect the blue marble (44) to the left, then go right and up to the two blue marbles (46) along a path. Now, there is a space north of here, between two metal block sets. Uncrush from a top-down crush on there and get on the metal platform to the south. Collect the purple marble and blue marble (50) up here, then get in the alcove west of the slug's facing. Do a top-down crush here, collect the blue marble (43), and push the slug ... somewhere else. Now, remember that barrier we've been using lately, the tall one? Get back on top of it. Make the camera face north and crush, then go left onto the platform above the red marble. Uncrush and grab the red marble (60), then hop right to the area where the slug once was. At the southern portion of the platform, south of the ghost block, crawl west into the structure. Have the camera face north, crush, and go west to finally find the exit. ======================== Area 35: Slinkin' Around ======================== Marbles: 40 Time : 4 minutes, 15 seconds Crushes: 13 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, crush, then crouch and uncrush to trigger the switch. Return to the top level and crush while facing north (and on a metal block), then ride the metal blocks to the right; be sure to get the purple marble (3) on the way. Cross the gap via the fragile block platform, getting the purple marble (6) on the way. On the other side, make the camera face south and crush to get the purple marble (9), then uncrush at the top. Get on the middle step, face north, and crush to get onto the platform. There, do a top-down crush and get on the northern end of the platform before uncrushing. Trigger the switch down here, then use another top-down crush to get back on top. Uncrush and get on the nearby metal blocks. Face west and crush when the blockwalker is nearby; use it as a stepping stone to the purple marble (12), then uncrush on the nearby platform. There, walk around to the other side of the platform then face east and crush in front of the blue block. Crawl right into the hole and uncrush. On this platform, face south and crush and crawl to the purple marble (15). Then, in the second gap to the left, just wait for the ghost block to bring you down so you can crawl to the Trophy. Get on the platforms above and ride the platforms to the right, getting the purple marble as you go (18). When you land, trigger the switch after uncrushing, then, still uncrushed, ride the moving platforms to the east side of the area. There, you can get on a lower platform next to the fragile block platform, face north, and get the red marble (28). Depending on the time it took to get here, you can either wait for the platform to go back up, or do it manually with a top-down crush. I'd hope for the former. When the platforms return, crush while facing north and go into the leftmost blue gap. Wait for the ghost block to send you to the purple marble (31). Then go ahead and uncrush on the platform and crush while facing south to be able to ride the platforms right to the slug platform; you'll just need to jump off from the lowest platform. Grab the purple marble (34) and the Memory, then uncrush and walk in the sight of the slug to bring it next to the platform. Crush again to roll it up and be able to reach the platform above here. Uncrush and ride the platforms back to the northern platform, then crush while facing east to get another purple marble (37). Uncrush and ride the ghost block to the next purple marble (40). Use a top-down crush on the platform itself to reach the exit. ============================== Area 36: Out The Frying Pan... ============================== Marbles: 40 Time : 6 minutes, 35 seconds Crushes: 28 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go south and jump to the two blue marbles (2), then go further south across the fragile blocks to another (3). Then look to the north where you'll find a cockroach on the platform. When it is on the west side of the platform, make the camera face south, get on the right side of your platform, crush, and go left into the surprising safety of the ghost block. Now, you can see that skull icon, right? Get right of it, uncrush, and do a top-down crush to get rid of the cockroach. Then go south to the end of the path and uncrush there. Make the camera face north and do a crush, then crawl underneath your platform for a blue marble and a purple marble (7). Hit the ground and uncrush. From there, backtrack to the south part of the level. Make the camera face east and crush, then quickly grab the merged blue marble (9). Go to the northern end of the area now, where that cockroach was squished, and repeat (11). Return to the top platform, then make the camera face east and crush. Get onto one of the stairs, uncrush, and head to the next-to-highest step. Do a top-down crush and go south onto the platform and, there, trigger the switch at the south end of the platform. Next, you need to quickly do a top-down crush and head north to the moved platform to grab the purple marble (14). Uncrush immediately and jump, when possible, onto the metal platform it moves to. When on it, face south and crush, then grab the purple marble (17). Uncrush RIGHT THERE, at the purple marble, and make the camera face west. Crush and get that purple marble (20). Uncrush there and do a top-down crush. Go forward somewhat and uncrush there. Make the camera face south and crush, then grab the Memory nearby. Make the camera face north and drop off the right side onto another platform. From there, drop off to the left side, uncrush, and make your way back to the area with the switch. Now, make the camera face west, towards the big wall. Retrigger the switch and crush. Go left and, when possible, use the moving platforms to reach two more blue marbles (22). Re-do this and, this time, go up the vertical column of platforms. At the top, go down the nearby staircase. Now, do a top-down crush and quickly jump to the purple marble (25) and back to the platform. Uncrush and return to the camera to facing south. Go onto the fragile block and crush. Get on the lower fragile block nearby to get rid of it, then crawl right to the blue marble (26) and uncrush there. Make the camera face east and crush when the fragile block reappears. Go up the stairs to the blue marble (27) and return to the previous solid platform. Make the camera face south to see the exit. Go up the platforms to the purple marble (30). There, uncrush and get into a top-down crush. Get onto the side barrier from earlier that was high and to the west. Uncrush and then make the camera face north. Crush and go right onto the next platform. Uncrush there, do a 180 with the camera, then crush again. Grab the nearby Trophy from the Trophy Thought, then return to the area with the high barrier. Get back onto the tall barrier (doesn't matter which side) and make the camera face north. Crush and wait for the fragile block to exit from your part of the barrier; once it does, get onto it, then slip off the side to the red marble (40), then onto the platform below. Uncrush and go south, off the platform, and right into the exit. ===================== Area 37: Broken Zones ===================== Marbles: 60 Time : 7 minutes, 40 seconds Crushes: 23 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. Go east and up onto the platform. Crush there while facing north and ride the moving spaces to collect three marbles. Be sure to trigger the switch on the right. Once you have three marbles, exit on the top-left side for another blue marble (4), then go down to another (5). Uncrush here and press Left on the D-Pad to find a switch. Trigger it and ride the moving platforms back to the top-left side. Uncrush and go to the top of the nearby staircase, then collect the Checkpoint and some blue marbles (9) nearby. Go to the eastern end of the platform and do a top-down crush to reach the next above platform, then uncrush on it. Face south and crush to be able to reach the red marble (19). Grab the nearby blue marble (20), then get back onto the southern portion of the southern platform. Make the camera face west and crush to get the Memory. Uncrush and go back to the northern platform. Do another top-down crush here to get on the next above platform; there, collect the three blue marbles (23) and the Checkpoint. With the camera facing north, crush and go left to the purple marble (26), then go right and up the platforms. Push the ball at the top to the left, then return to ground level. Go left for some more marbles (28) and the ball will soon escape the Time Thought and activate the switch. Then jump from the ball to the stairs and go right to collect three blue marbles (31). Go down the ramp to another one (32), then uncrush. Get off the platform and go east into the purple marble (35), then trigger the switch. Get back onto the white-top platform's west side and crush while facing south. Go right onto the metal blocks and uncrush. Get in front of the ghost roller and crush while facing east. Then go left to the Checkpoint and uncrush. Grab the nearby blue marble (36), then go left. Crush while facing west from there, then go right. Jump across to the platform, then the other side of the gap, getting two blue marbles and a purple marble (41) by the time you reach the other side. Uncrush there and trigger the nearby switch. Make the camera face west again, then crush. Ride the platforms around to the top corners, and you'll end up grabbing four blue marbles (45) on the way. Go back to the top-right platform and uncrush when you get the Checkpoint. Go around to the blue space and crush in front it while facing west. Go along the pit to find three blue marbles (48) altogether. Go back to the moving platform area and use the top-left exit now. While facing west, crush and crawl into the gap. Uncrush, press Right on the D-Pad, and crush. Go left to find a blue marble and a purple marble (52). After you obtain the latter, uncrush, press Left on the D-Pad, and crush. Go right to find another blue marble (53). Get it, uncrush, and make the camera face south. Crush and get on top of the "arch" for the Trophy. Get on the ground left of the archway, like before, then crawl down to the incline. Grab the purple marble (56), then uncrush at the bottom. Make the camera face east, go left a bit, and crush. Grab the blue marble (57), and then backtrack to the moving platforms area. Exit to the top-right again. Go around the corner to where you found the three blue marbles. When uncrushed, get on the platform on the other side of the gap. It LOOKS like the platform next to it is too tall, but there is a smaller platform behind the larger one; use it and get on top of the tall one. Crush and go right and grab the purple marble (60). Not much else to do now but go to the exit. Return to the moving platforms area on the back side of the eastern platform, then exit on the top-left. ===================== Area 38: The Pacifier ===================== Marbles: 60 Time : 5 minutes, 30 seconds Crushes: 22 NOTE: The original direction you face will be designated as north. First, get the blue marble (1) nearby and crush while facing north. Get both of the blue marbles (3) here and uncrush at the bottom. Go east to another blue marble (4) and then crush again, crawling left to a purple marble (7). Uncrush at the top and jump around the sheet (you can understand if you face east) to the purple marble (10). Then trigger the nearby switch. Then crush while facing west. Jump off of the right side of the platform onto the ghost roller. Exit off of the left side and grab the blue and purple marbles (14), then push the ghost roller to the right. Follow it for two more blue marbles (16), then uncrush at the left side of the platform. Use a top-down crush and proceed onto the platform and uncrush. Get on the small raised platform nearby for a blue marble (17), then crush and get on top of the blockwalker. Get on the barrier nearby for another two blue marbles (19). Face north and crush, then get the blue marble to the left (20) and uncrush. Get at the top of the staircase and walk over the edge of the long ledge nearby. Jump to the blue marble (21), then crawl to the purple marble (24) you see when facing south. Trigger the nearby switch, then get the nearby three blue marbles (27). Then crush while facing south and go right to the purple marble (30). Use a top-down crush here to get to the blue marble (31) above and uncrush. Crush while facing north and get the blue marble (32) to the left and uncrush. Then immediately crush again and uncrush in front of the roller. Face east and crush, then uncrush on the gold block nearby. Make the camera do a 180 and crush and crawl to the red marble (42) nearby. Uncrush on the ghost roller's platform. Crush while facing it and go left to the nearby platform, then uncrush there. Use a top-down crush and go along the path to the next blue marble (43). Uncrush and get the three blue marbles and one purple marble (49) on this platform. Get underneath the skull on the eastern wall with the big gear, make the camera face east, and crush. Uncrush at the top and push the ball north, but only when the blockwalker is right next to the gap. Empty this level of all of its marbles (59) - remember to get the purple marble via the top-down crush and quickly jumping to it and back. Now, push the ball against the stairs and get the blue marble (60) here. Make the camera face south, crush, and get on the left side of the ball. Uncrush and return to the ball, while higher than it. Now, push the ball to the left when the blockwalker is on the western end of the platform. Push the ball and smash the crap out of the L Button. If you did it right, the ball will between one metal block and one ghost block with a cow on it. Jump from the metal block nearby, onto the ball, and push it from the left. Then uncrush. Remember the long southern walkway you had to be on the tip of to give the ball its first push? WALK off the southern end of it and then face north and crush. Once the ball reaches ground level, push it to the right onto the switch. Now, go west along the path and notice when it widens. Get on the new space, face west, and crush. Crawl right into the gap for the Trophy. Uncrush back at the left. Do a top-down crush now and go to the end of the path, then jump onto the lone mid-air block. Continue to the larger platform nearby and uncrush. Jump onto the metal blocks to the north and go around the corner to find the Memory. Return to the longer platform and get in a top-down crush. Proceed onto the small platform nearby, then get onto the upper level. Uncrush and proceed to the exit. ================================ Area 39: Lock, Block, and Barrel ================================ Marbles: 60 Time : 5 minutes, 50 seconds Crushes: 21 Still trying to develop a 21-crush strategy for this one. ================ Area 40: The End ================ Marbles: 50 Time : 3 minutes, 50 seconds Crushes: 18 Go north and grab the two blue marbles (2) on this platform; trigger only the switches entirely; don't step on them. Crush while facing north and go right onto that platform. Collect the blue marble (3), then uncrush and crawl through the nearby tunnel to the southern purple marble (6). Get back on the first platform and do a north-facing crush on the west side. Grab the purple marble (9), then uncrush. Crush again while facing west and go along to the east, picking up the blue marble and purple marble (13) nearby. Uncrush and trigger the southernmost switch. Recrush like before and, this time, head on over to the platform in the center, duck under it, and then uncrush. Here, go west, then jump up the platforms to the one you can stand on while crushed. Crush while facing west and grab that Trophy! Uncrush on the lower level. Do a similar thing while facing east to get another purple marble (16), then uncrush. Pick up the nearby blue marble (17) from the alcove from the newly-revealed alcove from the southernmost switch. Then retrigger that switch, then trigger the middle switch. Go around to the south and grab the purple marble (20) from the alcove. Retrigger the middle switch, then trigger the northernmost switch. Pick up the blue marble (21) from the alcove nearby. Now, you're going to need to trigger the switches in a certain way. First, get rid of the northern switch's function to flatten the area. Use the southern switch, then go trigger the northeastern switch, then de-trigger the southern switch. Then trigger the northern and middle switches. Now, get on the east half of the platform, face north, crush, and jump right to the Checkpoint. Uncrush, face west, crush, and jump up to the platform. There, uncrush, face east, and walk to the left. Get the three blue marbles (24), then walk into the gap, triggering the switch. Grab the Checkpoint and uncrush. Retrigger the switch and grab the blue marble (25). Then crush while facing south. Go along the path to the red marble (35), then return to the previous ledge and retrigger the switch. Go left, getting the blue marble (36) on the way. Continue along to the Checkpoint. Uncrush there. Now, face east and crush. Go left to the raised part of the platforms west of the sheets. Uncrush on there and face north, then crush to get the Memory. Face west, crush, and go along the path again to the Checkpoint and uncrush. Face west, crush again and get on the on the higher ledge to the right. Jump to the purple marble (39). You can go further right from here to end up finding the exit; you'll grab two blue marbles and one purple marble on the way (44). Once at the exit, don't use it. I bet you can see that purple marble hanging around the back of the platform, right? Get between it and the ghost block nearby, face south, and crush to get it (47). Uncrush, jump to the purple marble (50) and back. Then use the exit. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 6.
