==Description==
A single ship sequence takes place from 34% to 47%.
Polargeist begins to extend the degree of jumping challenges, also introducing the yellow jump ring. More complex block patterns with combinations of jumping and sliding rely on greater concentration. The single ship sequence in the middle of the level features scattered blocks along the passage. One set of triple spikes is encountered right before the end of the level.

==Secret coins==
*The first [[Secret Coins|secret coin]] is located towards the end of the ship sequence. Fly close to the roof while avoiding suspended blocks and it will come up near a small group of them. The music gives an indication, as the coin is positioned exactly when the high note plays.
*The first secret coin is located at 44% and collected as the ship. Fly close to the ceiling while avoiding suspended blocks, as the coin must be approached from above, shielded by a group of blocks below. Descend upon collecting the coin to clear an oncoming block.
*The second secret coin is located beyond a series of ascending then descending steps leading towards spaced platforms with a spike in between every second one, some distance past the ship sequence. From contact with the ground, jumping four times and then dropping down will land on a brief line platform. Immediately jumping again will clear a gap and reveal an exposed section of the approaching column with a jump pad beside it, with the coin on the way back up to the main route. The background is blue where the coin is located.
*The second secret coin is located at 63% and collected as the cube. After sliding down a series of columns, begin jumping up a series of platforms and slide off the fourth platform to land on a brief line platform. Immediately jump again onto another line platform and through an exposed section of the approaching column with a jump pad that will launch into the coin and back onto the main route from a jump ring.
*The third secret coin is located high above the main route after hitting a hidden gravity pad positioned beside an elevated platform. The background begins to darken right when the platform approaches as the music also reverts to the starting phase of the song. Two spiked blocks hang above the platform. Reaching the gravity pad is particularly difficult, requiring an estimated jump to vault a spike while also avoiding overshooting the gravity pad. To successfully perform the maneuver, jump from around the center of the starting platform, although precision is required to land correctly. After being spurted up into a gravity portal, prepare for a midair jump ring just before the coin, and get ready to jump straight after returning to the ground onto another jump ring on the main route.
*The third secret coin is located at 77% and collected as the cube. After passing beneath overhead spikes, precisely jump to clear an oncoming spike as early as possible to hit a concealed gravity pad beside the platform. After being launched into a gravity portal, hit a jump ring to collect the coin and return to the ground, jumping immediately onto another jump ring to clear spikes.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Polargeist introduces the yellow jump ring (known by the community as a yellow orb), beginning to extend the degree of jumping challenges, particularly during the second cube sequence.

A single ship sequence takes place from 34% to 47%.

Secret coins

[edit | edit source]
  • The first secret coin is located at 44% and collected as the ship. Fly close to the ceiling while avoiding suspended blocks, as the coin must be approached from above, shielded by a group of blocks below. Descend upon collecting the coin to clear an oncoming block.
  • The second secret coin is located at 63% and collected as the cube. After sliding down a series of columns, begin jumping up a series of platforms and slide off the fourth platform to land on a brief line platform. Immediately jump again onto another line platform and through an exposed section of the approaching column with a jump pad that will launch into the coin and back onto the main route from a jump ring.
  • The third secret coin is located at 77% and collected as the cube. After passing beneath overhead spikes, precisely jump to clear an oncoming spike as early as possible to hit a concealed gravity pad beside the platform. After being launched into a gravity portal, hit a jump ring to collect the coin and return to the ground, jumping immediately onto another jump ring to clear spikes.
