Collectibles: 23 items
Right above the starting zone, there's a place for a sticker - you will get it at the next level and in return for placing it, you will receive at the next level and in return for using it you will be rewarded with Grabbinators. Repeat the level after you obtain the sticker - places in which you can use it have been mentioned in the description below (as an "alternative version"). [1] Launch off the pad to grab the switch above. [2]
Before you go right, collect the item found behind the decorative element (below the face of a laughing man). [1] Place yourself by the first stamper machine - run to the right once the path opens and continue to the other side (by not stopping, you will save the Sackbots). [2]
Alternative version - if you have the Grabbinators, you can activate the two switches on both sides on the stamping machine. [1] Just throw a Sackbot at them. [2]
Behind the stamping machines, go up using the launch pads and free more buddies. [1] Once you reach a wall, grab the sponge which will take you up. Once there, go under the stampers and switch the lever on the other side. [2]
Alternative version - Right behind the second stamper machine and the figure of a man in the background, slow down - you have to use the Sackbots to collect two items before they jump into the pipe (a bit further). Notice the L-shaped platform by the ceiling. [1] Throw a Sackbot at it and the items will fall down (you have to be standing at the proper layer). [2]
Move on and make sure the Sackbots jump into the pipe. [1] Afterwards enter the passage on the right yourself. Behind the next respawn point you will see two stamper machines - there are two items behind the left one. Collect them. [2]
Jump on the stampers once they're lowered and move on. [1] A few platforms lower you will have to face two enemies. [2]
Behind one of the respawn points you will have to pull out a horizontal platform and create stairs this way. [1] A bit further you will free more Sackbots from a cage by using a switch. [2]
Alternative version - right behind the Sackbot cage you will see two aslant launchpads above you. [1] Throw one of the Sackbots onto the one on the right - he will hit the platform above and drop down two items. [2]
Once you reach a wide slope, you will have to make use of another lever. [1] Afterwards climb up together with the Sackbots. [2]
Alternative version - being able to pick up the Sackbots, you can get an item on the slope [1]. Just throw one of the bots at the L-shaped platform above. [2]
At some point the Sackbots will enter another pipe and you will be able to travel on using the launch pad. [1] To the right there is a 2 players zone. [2]
2 players zone
This puzzle is trivial - each player has to enter one of two wheels. [1] Now just run in one direction and wait for the items to fall. [2]
The further road leads up along the launch pads - you have to look out where you land, as the background keeps closing and opening. [1] Upstairs, collect the items on the left (behind the neon). You should also grab the key (hanging right above the launch pads). [2]
Once you reach a riddle with a hand and four levers, switch two outer fingers to arrange them in the symbol showed by the sign. [1] By the end of the level, you will have to jump through the moving pipe - you have to do it twice to collect both items (on the left and right). The easiest way is placing yourself over one of it, jump down and then blow up your Sackboy and collect the other one. [2]
In order to collect all the items, you need to save 10 Sackbots.
