Rude Awakening

On the map of Rude Awakening, a hidden gem can be found in a wooden cottage. To get the gem you have to fall under a wooden structure and jump up.

This stage is located immediately after the climbing down the vines. When you run around you can see something shining behind the wood. That way it's easy to see it.

This gem is needed to get a skin - Oh, boy!

N. Sanity Peak

On the map of N.Sanity Peak, a hidden gem can be found on the second part of the location. Right after you come across a monster, it starts chasing you. Focus on the left side of the screen. Don't be distracted by Wump fruits.

Don't worry if you die. You can only take the gem once, and it will fall into your gear.

This gem is needed to get the skin Big Horn Energy.

Crash Compactor

Let's start with the fact that as soon as you get off the railing, you have to slowly hop down to the shelf below. If you do it without any sudden movements, you should succeed. This chest will open a metal door that will lead you to the gem.

After cursing the chest you can go back to the level and keep going. You'll see a gem right after a bend. You just have to push your opponent out of the way and take what you deserve.

Hit the Road

The hidden gem can be found on the left, near the disappearing platforms. All you have to do is climb out and use a slide to get to that part of the map.

Then slip under the Nitro box and jump up. You have to do it with extraordinary precision so as not to fall into the abyss.

A Real Grind!

You can find the hidden gem at the end of the map. Jump onto the highest platform and from there into the area on the left.

Once you get on top, you have to aim carefully and bounce off the boxes. There's a gem waiting for you up there. As soon as you reach it, it'll be in your equipment.

Truck Stopped

The hidden gem on the Truck Stopped map can be found right next to the crane. Hop on the boards on the right to get to the next part of the map.

When you get to the top, you have to jump on the platform on the left. There's a gem waiting for you up there. As soon as you reach it, it will be in your gear.

Booty Calls

The hidden gem is locked in the chest. You'll find it on the right, in the castle. It's easy to get to, you just have to get past your opponents and jump on the right platform.

All you have to do is hit the box once, and the secret content will drop out.
