BONUS 09: SOARING STRAWBERRIES {B1009}
--------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Gather 100 stars while navigating a stage composed primarily of 
various fruit formations.
STAGE: Soaring Strawberries
POINTS: 1200

Start by heading forward along the lemon ledges and you'll come to the edge of 
a large bowl.  A strawberry train circles the edge of this bowl, which you can 
crawl along by pressing the 'Action' button.  The strawberries will knock you 
off if you collide, though, so wait until just after they pass.  Then double 
jump out, grab onto the edge of the saucer and then rush forward to where you 
can double jump free of it and onto a lemon ledge just ahead of the pursuing 
group of strawberries.

Now hop up some more lemon steps and then run along the rim of another 
strawberry-patrolled bowl.  On this one, the strawberries are circling wider 
apart.  You'll have to double jump over them one at a time as you head around 
the bowl in a clockwise sort of way.  Make sure that after you jump over the 
strawberry in question, you press the 'Action' button to regain your footing 
on the bowl's rim.  Collect the stars in this manner, then jump free to 
another lemon ledge.

From this ledge, you'll need to double jump out to a straw that you can grab 
and use as a vault bar.  Swing from it and to the next straw, then from there 
to another lemon ledge.  Now it's on to another of the bowls, and again you'll 
move clockwise as strawberries periodically arrive.  From there, you can 
double jump to a lemon, and then it's time to vault from more straws as you 
cross a gap.  From the last straw, you'll need to vault onto a moving platform 
made out of kiwi.  Wait until it's near before you do the vault, then ride 
that platform over to some more solid lemon ledges.

Continue along the lemon ledges and you'll next come to a series of several 
bowls containing different colors of liquid.  They share one thing in common: 
a trio of strawberries circles each one.  You'll have to transfer from one 
bowl to the next carefully, or a strawberry will knock you from your perch 
just as you land.  Unlike the previous bowls, you can't really afford to go 
against the flow of the strawberries here.  Jump on just after one strawberry, 
then follow it closely until you've gathered all the stars from that first 
bowl.  Now jump to the second bowl and repeat the process.  There's a third 
bowl here, and there's also a space where you can jump down to a wedge of 
lemon that will give you a ride and allow you to collect a bunch of stars.  
Don't take the ride just yet.  Instead, hope to the third bowl and run around 
its edge between the strawberries, collecting a few stars.  When you come back 
around to where you avoided the lower lemon platform before, jump onto it to 
take the ride and collect those stars I mentioned.

On the opposite end of the ride, you'll find that you can go one of two ways.  
Ignore the watermelon route, which only leads back where you came (and is 
dangerous to boot).  Instead, start along the next bowl, ahead of you.  You'll 
notice here that a lemon rises and falls along its rim.  You have to dash 
through when it rises (which it does immediately after the strawberry ahead of 
you passes through), with a strawberry hot on your tail.  If you prefer, you 
may also work against the flow of the strawberries.  That actually seems to 
work better

When you're ready, jump from the edge of that bowl and onto the next one, 
which you can circle for more stars before jumping to a straw.  It's difficult 
to judge the jump to the straw, which should be a double jump, but it must be 
done.  Once you grab onto the straw with the 'Action' button, swing from that 
to the waiting orange platform.

You're now looking out at another bowl.  From this one, jump after the train 
of strawberries passes, then follow it around.  You'll now need to jump to 
another of the bowls patrolled by three strawberries.  There's another lemon 
bit here, so either pass through closely after a strawberry, or swiftly turn 
the camera and work against the direction the strawberries are headed.  When 
you reach the opposite edge of the bowl, you can jump from it to a series of 
orange platforms.

These lead to a circular piece of spinning pineapple, from which you can jump 
to the edge of another bowl circled by strawberries.  From there you'll have 
to jump to a series of kiwi platforms moving around the base of a floating 
lemon.  Do so, and collect any stars in the path of the kiwi, then jump from 
there to the edge of yet another bowl as the last of a strawberry train 
passes.  Follow its rim to the opposite side, then jump to some more circling 
kiwi.  Let them carry you around until you're within range of an orange 
platform, then jump to that.

Now, you'll look ahead and see an orange floating in the air, with a straw 
protruding.  The straw rotates, so that sometimes it's close to you and 
sometimes it isn't.  You'll want to double jump as it's at its peak and headed 
down toward you, then press the 'Action' button to grab a hold.  Now, keep 
swinging as the straw loops down and to meet with another of the orange 
ledges.  Jump onto that, and from there you'll need to repeat the process you 
just performed, as there's another straw.  Now let the straw carry you across 
the gap, then vault from there to the next platform, which is an orange piece.

You're now in the home stretch.  The final challenge is a series of watermelon 
chunks that will fall out from under you if you stand on them too long.  Make 
a double jump from the very edge of your orange platform out to the first 
melon, then run along the series of such platforms collecting stars, until you 
can finally jump to the safety of the stage's final platform.  You'll receive 
your 200 points for reaching the end, plus 1000 for gathering all the stars.  
Then you'll be returned to the kitchen area.
