Player Questions

What are the shop items for?

Shop items provide powerful aids. The motorbike allows you to destroy walls, the puddle icon turns you into a mermaid to swim faster, and the Peticopter lets you fly.

How do I get more lives?

Collect 10 Baums (money bags) for an extra life. Also, be careful—your money total (displayed in the HUD) acts as a stock of lives and will deplete if you get hit.

What happens if I lose a rock-paper-scissors duel?

Losing your life or failing the timing in an RPS duel on one of the gatekeepers will cost you a life. You can continue from the start of the island by pressing UP + Button 2 at the title screen.
