Collectibles: 39 items
After beginning the level, jump onto the edge behind the first respawn point - there's an item here. [1] Run to the right and along the way collect the bubbles floating by the launch pad. After going down the slope, turn left below the New Life sign and enter the hidden cave. [2]
Now run beneath the New Life sign to the right - until you reach a small entrance marked with red (another hidden item). [1] Continue your journey and collect the grappling hook. Bounce off a couple launch pads and fall down to the very bottom on the other side - you will find another bubble. [2]
Climb up using the grappling hook and launch pad and collect the item attached to one of the platforms in the middle. [1] On top, go to the left side of the group of launch pads - grab the sponge and jump off the platform on the wall to get higher. [2] Collect the bubble and get ready for another risky stunt.
Launch off the launch pad on the upper left platform to the right and grab onto the middle sponge while falling - you should be able manoeuvre in such a way to get the upper surface and reach the item bubble. [1] Having all the items, you can move on to the right. Jump over the pit and go into the neon "chimney" (pointed by the arrow). [2]
Below, jump onto the launch pad and open the door with the button on the wall. [1] Enter the room on the left to collect two bubbles. [2]
Go with your buddy to the right and take the elevator. You will reach some hanging cages - free the Sackbots using the switch. [1] Afterwards collect the bubbles hanging above (using the launch pad). [2]
From now you will have to keep an eye on the Sackbots - make sure not to leave any of them behind, as you need them to unlock all the bonuses. The Sackbots in general are quite resourceful, but they do need help from time to time.
Herd all of the bots to the right - in order to do it, run maximally to the left so that they go past you. [1] Make sure all of them have jumped into the pipe. [2]
A bit further you will come across a door and a button in the air - catch a Sackbot (by driving him into a corner) and throw him twice into the button. [1] You can deal with the next obstacle in two ways - either throw each robot onto the platform and from there to the further part of the level [2] or jump first yourself and activate the switch to the right of the hanging cage.
After leaving the elevator, step onto the red button to release more subordinates. Herd them all to the right and make sure they've jumped into pipe. [2]
Behind the green pipe jump up and collect the bubble. [1] Afterwards defeat the enemies - just run beneath them and jump (to hit their weak points). [2]
Before you enter the orange pipe leading down (Sackbots will jump into it), you have to collect two bubbles before it - just enter the plane closer to the screen and use the launch pad on the right (from it, land on the launch pad on the wall, which will shoot you to the left). [1] Go down the pipe - here you have to grab the sponge to push your buddies to a different track [2] and at the same time catch one of the Sackbots (you will need it to activate the button on the right, which will give you more items). Don't worry if you don't make it, because...
By going left, you will fall onto the lower platform - here you can grab a Sackbot and return upstairs thanks to the launch pad in the background (to the right of the respawn point). [1] Carry the robot to the right and throw it at the button (if you haven't done it before) - you will receive prizes. [2]
Continue going left until you reach a hole, in which the Sackbots will stop. Grab one of them, jump up and throw it into the niche on the left - jumping, it will activate the switch. [1] A platform will come down - collect the items and get your buddies across it. [2]
A bit further you will find a panel with launch pads, which can be raised. Get it out of the background and place closer - jump up for the item. [1] Now use the panel to "patch" the hole on the left (above the electrified surface) - the Sackbots will jump up. [2]
Head further along the pipe and free more bots. You will reach a place in which you have to grab three Sackbots and throw them into the "basket" on the left. It will unlock an elevator thanks to which you can reach the key. [1] Moving further to the left, you will come across a 2 players zone - one player can collect a single bubble in it. With the help of a friend, you can get three bonus items. [2]
2 players zone
Both players must jump as high as they can - onto the platform on the right (there's one item there). [1] At this post one person must grab the other and jump together to the left, throwing the other player towards the upper platform. [2] Another method is using the platform with launch pads which can be moved - one player can control it and enable the other to reach the bubbles.
At the end of the level it will come clear whether you did save all the Sackbots - you must have 15 to get every prize. [1] In order to finish the level, lead all the robots into the left pipe. [2]
