BONUS 07: VEGGIE VAULT {B1007}
------------------------------

SUMMARY: Gather 100 stars while navigating a stage built out of vegetables.
STAGE: Veggie Vault
POINTS: 1200

You'll receive one star automatically upon appearing on the cucumber ledge 
that serves as this bonus stage's starting point.  Ahead, there's a turning 
half of a red cabbage.  Jump out to it, but time your jump carefully so that 
its lowest portion is starting to face you as you jump.  You'll need to make 
your way up a series of these cabbages, then to some radish segments that lead 
to a ring of circling cucumbers.

Jump onto one of the cucumbers and let it carry you around the central carrot.  
Once you've grabbed those stars, jump onto the upturned radishes beyond, and 
climb up some of those radish ledges to where some more cucumbers are circling 
around carrots.  This area is trickier than you might imagine.  Jump onto the 
first ring of cucumbers, but be ready to jump again as you run into the second 
ring, which is at a slightly different level.  This second ring of cucumbers 
likes to knock you from your perch if you're not paying attention.  Make sure 
that you collect all of the stars around both carrots in this area, then from 
the higher of the two rings of cucumbers, jump to the white-colored vegetable 
and from there out to a carrot.

Head along to the tip of the carrot, then jump from there to the onion half.  
From this onion half, you can jump along two more of the bits of red cabbage, 
using the same strategy you did at the start of the stage.  Those lead to 
another onion half, which lets you overlook a ledge where mushroom bits are 
swinging across the area and making it hazardous.  Head over the cutting board 
to collect the stars, but move only just after a set of mushrooms has passed.  
Making short little dashes here works best.  There are two cutting boards to 
traverse.  At the end of the first one, stop at the edge and look off to the 
left.  You'll see a cucumber you can drop to.  Do so and let it carry you 
around to collect six stars, then double jump up to the board that is now to 
your left.

You're now at the end of the area's second cutting board.  From there, you can 
leap to an upturned white vegetable (a parsnip?).  From there, jump along more 
pieces as they circle and ascend one of their fellows.  You'll next see a 
series of cucumber ledges, which you can safely hop across with double jumps.  
At the edge of the group of cucumbers, you'll encounter a series of tomatoes.

The tomato ledges are difficult if you let them be.  The trick to them is to 
jump just as the first set of tomato segments is pulling away, then to jump 
left from there as the next set is pulling, and to continue jumping left in 
that fashion until you're at the highest of the tomatoes.  Then double jump 
straight upward in time to land on the segments (rather than have you knock 
them off) upon their return.  They'll carry you over to a new ledge where you 
can jump to safety and find yourself about ready to descend along a slide.

Go ahead and start down the slide now, letting it carry you in the directions 
it wishes.  This will allow you to grab all of the stars, but you'll want to 
do what you can to slow yourself.  The slide comes out at a platform when it 
concludes.  If you're going to fast, you'll fly right over the platform and 
into the abyss.  

From the platform, hop forward to the next one where some CHEESE waits, and 
grab that if you need it.  Then jump out across more platforms until you're 
standing on a tomato round over a cutting board.  Ahead, you'll notice that 
the platforms form an archway leading upward, with stars on each.  Don't jump 
just yet.  If you wait a moment, you'll see the bits of vegetables all fly 
together to form a column, then fly apart again.  As soon as they start to 
split apart, it's time to start hopping up the vegetable trail, collecting 
stars and rushing to the top.  

When you safely reach the top, you can look ahead to see more ledges like the 
one on which you stand.  Hop forward across those and you'll be witness to 
another arch of the white/green vegetables that fly inward to form a column.  
Wait until the one nearest you returns, then start down the column as it 
arches toward the end of the stage.  When you arrive, you'll receive 200 
points for clearing the stage, plus 1000 for collecting all of the stars.  
Then you'll be returned to the stage you were playing.
