BONUS 05: DESSERTED WONDERLAND {B1005}
--------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Gather 100 stars while navigating a stage that looks like it was made
out of a giant series of desserts.
STAGE: Desserted Wonderland
POINTS: 1200
Start by double jumping across two cinnamon buns, until you're facing a tort
cake whirling on a white platform that seems to be made out of lace. Jump out
onto that and you'll find that its rapid turns make it difficult to move much.
You can press the 'dash' button to maneuver a bit more efficiently, as you
reach the edge and double jump to another such platform, and then to another
(note that a star rests on the top of each one).
From the third of those whirling plates, you can sometimes jump to a huge
cookie that floats over. It will take a double jump to do it, and you want to
time it carefully or you'll fall in a pit. Ride the cookie over to where it
meets with another of similar size, then double jump onto that one. From
there, jump to another and then another. This one will hesitate for a moment,
then take you on a ride over to a spinning platform where you can collect
several more stars. After doing so, jump back onto the cookie-styled platform
and it will give you a ride up to some chocolate eclair ledges.
Now that you're at the eclairs, head along them for some stars. The next
cookies hovering in the air are fairly wide. There are two of them. As you
step on them, they'll begin to shake. Dash across, then double jump from the
first one to the second. Repeat the process there, only now you'll be jumping
to one of the spinning, lacy platforms with a tort. Gather the stars from
around the base of the tort, and from the top, then turn your attentions to
the next ledge.
You'll see that it's a slice of chocolate cheesecake. Note that these spin
back and forth, so wait until one has just rotated, then jump over to it and
gather the stars. They'll spin again momentarily, but you're fine so long as
you're standing still and make a jump just thereafter. Once you reach the
second one, you can jump from it to a jelly cookie ledge.
The jelly cookie ledges are easy, except that you'll want to avoid the
centers. You walk extremely slowly through that goop, and sometimes you might
be tempted to press harder on the control stick and then go flying off the
edge the minute you find solid ground. It's better to avoid that situation by
avoiding the jelly. Work your way up these platforms, collecting stars along
the way, until you come to a platform with a saucer at its center. Don't jump
into the saucer, as its contents can harm you. Instead, jump onto the handle
and from there, look out over the gap ahead. You'll see poles rising in the
air there. You can jump out toward them and press the 'Action' button to land
on each one and collect each star.
Once you cross the poles, you'll reach a spinning platform with more stars,
and then from there you can double jump to a cinnamon bun platform where a bit
of cheese is waiting beside a star. Look off to the side here and you'll see
a cookie come cruising into place. You can jump on it and collect a star,
then ride it over to some twisty straws.
The straws are tricky. You need to consider them jungle gym bars. You can
jump toward one and grab it, then start swinging and at the bottom of your
swing, send yourself flying to the next one. From the second straw, you'll
need to land on a piece of cake, then jump from that to another one, then jump
across some cinnamon bun platforms.
From there, you'll soon come to some more of the straw poles that you can jump
across by pressing the 'Action' button as you're near to passing over them.
Move across those, and then some eclairs before it's on to another series of
the straw bars. Move across that series of straws and you'll land on some
cinnamon bun ledges, followed by a series of four cookie platforms that shake
as you walk on them. Dash around and collect each star as you go, and after
those platforms you'll be on one of the frilling platforms spinning in circles
with a cup resting on it.
This time, you can ignore the cup. It's just there for decoration. Watch in
the distance and you'll see a cookie come cruise toward you. Quickly double
jump onto it, then ride it over to some eclairs and grab the stars on that
series of platforms. Now it's time to vault from more of the straw bars, then
on through a series of cinnamon bun platforms. Next, you'll see more of the
shaky cookie platforms ahead.
These ledges are trickier than you might think. Some are further apart than
others, and those you won't be able to jump. You'll probably have to cross
the area several times to get all of the stars. It seems like starting by
heading right, then turning toward the diagonal left and crossing to there and
from that point to a cinnamon bun works best. There are a few cinnamon buns
there, each with a star.
After the cinnamon buns, you'll find some eclair ledges before another set of
the straws that you can jump to like poles. At the last of those upright
straws, you'll need to wait for a cookie platform to arrive, then jump onto it
and ride it across a gap, to the final platform where the bonus mission
concludes and you receive your 200 points for clearing it (plus 1000 for
collecting all of the stars). You'll next be returned to the marketplace.
