	At the start of the level, the player must go right, down, then platform left over the [[Falling ~~Platforms~~]]. Shoot the [[Weapon Block]]s in front of you, and platform over the [[Flip Platform]]s until you reach the [[Yoku Block]]s. At the end is a spring used to shoot another Weapon Block.

	Enter the Teleporter and grab the [[ladder]] nearby. This will allow you to shoot another obtrusive Weapon Block. Drop back down and travel back to the right of the start. Shoot the [[Super Ball Machine Jr]] in your path, and climb the unblocked ladder. After this is a [[Count Bomb]] puzzle. Jump off the 2-Bomb to the left to detonate the 5-Bombs atop the 9-Bomb. Then use the remaining bombs to platform across. This will provide another shortcut to the start. Detonate the two horizonal 2-Bombs on both ~~side~~ to progress. Defeat the [[Met]] and detonate the Count Bombs above, then use [[Time Slow]] to ride the [[Rotating Platform]] up. This finishes the first puzzle.

	Walk to the room left of the start. Use Time Slow to use the Rotating Platform to reach the [[Skullmet]] and shoot the Weapon Block. Go back through the room until you reach another set of Count Bombs. Detonate the 1-Bomb, then the three bombs above it, then the 5-Bombs to the left, jump into the gap, and detonate the 3-Bomb. This will give access to shoot down the two Weapon Blocks on the left. Backtrack to the start of the room and slide under the enemies, onto the Rotating Platform on the left, and finally go right to shoot a Weapon Block to the right of the start.

	To the right of the start are three paths, one above, one to the top right, and one down. The downwards path blocked by a [[Sniper Joe]] may optionally be traversed due to setting up the third puzzle, but may be ignored for now. The top right path is blocked by a [[Pole Egg]].

	Blow up the [[Dive Missile]] Weapon Block and move to the right. Walk near the wall, but not ~~fully~~. Wait until the [[Octopus Battery]] moves up, and fire a Dive Missile to break a Weapon Block. This can optionally be done a second time for an [[M-Tank]]. Go down and blow up the Pole Egg from the second puzzle to return there. Defeat the Sniper Joe and move across. Fire a Dive Missile while the [[Spine]] is below the ~~weapon block~~ to destroy it, then while it is under the Pole Egg to destroy that as well. Return to the third puzzle and go down, traversing the newly clear path. Ride the Rotating Platform up and avoid the [[Cannopeller]]s.		Blow up the [[Dive Missile]] Weapon Block and move to the right. Walk near the wall, but not all the way. Wait until the [[Octopus Battery]] moves up, and fire a Dive Missile to break a Weapon Block.

	Destroy the Dive Missile ~~block~~ in front of you, then position yourself against the immune ones, facing right. Fire a Dive Missile just as the [[Potton]] is directly under you to destroy the [[Dust Block]], then walk a bit forward and face left. When the Potton is nearly off-screen, fire another missile to clear the path. Reset the room if needed. Jump on the [[Cossack Platform]] and shoot down the Cannopeller. Stand on the next Cossack Platform and wait for the Octopus Battery to be at its lowest position and fire another missile to destroy another block, then do the same at its highest position to clear the way.

==Walkthrough==
<big>'''As a puzzle level, all solutions will be spoiled. You have been warned.'''</big>

'''First Puzzle:'''
At the start of the level, the player must go right, down, then platform left over the [[Falling Platforms]]. Shoot the [[Weapon Block]]s in front of you, and platform over the [[Flip Platform]]s until you reach the [[Yoku Block]]s. At the end is a spring used to shoot another Weapon Block.

Instead, simply jump on the Falling Platforms and ride the AAAAA upwards.
