In the land of Blobalonia lived an evil King.
More than anything, he wanted power. Power only humans had.
He invaded the villages and enslaved the blobs in his factory.
Beautiful Blobalonia was dying.
One day an Earth boy came to save Blobalonia. He was very
brave, and carried a lot of candy.
The king was not pleased. He had to stop the boy. This is where
our story begins.
It's not often gamers are treated to something quite as magical as an update to
an old NES gem. WayForward and Majesco obviously thought now was the time and I
wholeheartedly agree with them. A Boy and His Blob is perfectly suited to the
Wii. I won't lavish praise on all of its aspects here, I'll just say this. Go
out and buy this game. Buy it new so the developers profit. Trust me, just do
it.
It's hard to look critically at this game. It carries itself in such a
charming manner that it seems like a labour of love that just happened to be
released to the public, almost as an afterthought. It is wonderfully organic.
With little in the means of storyline or explanations you are dropped straight
into the gameplay, and thus, so too you will be dropped straight into this
guide.

As with any transformation I always give it a name in my head. I happened to
use these names throughout my guide, so to avoid any confusion this is what I
mean:
Blob transformations:
'''''''''''''''''''''
Anvil       - a large heavy block, useful for smashing objects with.
Ball        - a tiny football, can fit through narrow gaps.
Blobachute  - a parachute used for gliding.
Boy         - a blob form of you, he imitates your motion.
Cannon      - let's you shoot the boy or a pig blob some distance.
Hole        - it's a hole, you drop through it.
Jack        - a mechanical device to lift opjects and reach high switches.
Ladder      - it's a ladder, you climb up it.
Mecha       - a walking bipedal vehicle, you want it.
Rocket      - jump on him to fly!
Shield      - form a protective shield against projectiles and blobs.
Spacehopper - a rubber ball that you bounce upon. Wil float in water.
Trampoline  - pretty self explanatory, use it to bounce progressively higher.
Zorb        - a large sphere that you roll around in, will pass over spikes.
Enemies:
''''''''
Bouncy Blobs    - small blobs that bounce on a spot, you can run under them.
Dog Blob        - when he sees you he'll charge!
Floaters        - they float in midair making blobachuting difficult.
Frog Blob       - likes to eat ball blob...
Hummingbird     - a golden bird that eats your beans!
Lumbering Blob  - large and slow, drop an anvil on his head to surf him or
approach him in a zorb ball to have him throw you.
Mirror Blob     - an irritating humanoid that mirrors your every movement.
Patrolling Blob - they don't jump or bounce, they just crawl.
Pig Blob        - a little pig blob, they make excellent cannon fodder.
There's also a couple who walk hand in hand. I'll let you name them though...

Level 1-1
'''''''''
You begin in your hideout. Head right and climb down the ladder with the blue
stars atop. At the base of the ladder head right, jumping on the platforms to
avoid the black blob below. Ignore the treasure chest here, we can't get at it
just yet. Push the block to the right and jump on top of it to climb the step.
Drop down the ledge and stand on top of the block that is blocking the passage
entrance. Jump on it five times and stroll over to the blue stars on the
ground. Press up to enter the tree.
You drop from the moon and are now in darkness so head right and prepare to be
warped again. Now wander right again towards the smoking hole in the ground to
find your blob. When he's yours I suggest pressing up on the d-pad to give him
a hug ^_^.
Now run left, up the slopes. At the top push the block onto the black blob
below and watch the treasure chest fly out. Blob should eat the chest when you
walk past it. Drop down and head right to go back to the blue stars again. Get
blob to eat the chest here too. Now head back to where the patrolling black
blob was earlier, get blob to eat the chest as well and make your way back to
the ladder to the tree house.
Blob spews out the three chests and three orbs are released, making their way
to the upper levels of your house. When you regain control, walk left to where
the wind blew the jar from the stool. Blob will eat the black bean that fell
from the jar and transform into a ladder so climb up him! When you reach the
top, a new day begins...
Walk right and press A to look at the map, you'll automatically be sent to
the next level to explore.
Challenge Level 1-1
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: level design.
Head right and jump over the black blob and onto the platform. Jump again past
the blob here and follow the red arrow. It's rather linear here, just keep
heading to the right and jumping over the black blobs until you reach the exit!
When you exit check the stone by your bed for a treat!
Level 1-2
'''''''''
You start off next to a wooden sign with a red face painted on it. Press B to
feed a red bean to the blob who will transform into a hole for you to drop
through. Head right and jump over the black blob to find the first treasure
chest.
Now walk back to the sign with the ladder painted on it. Hold down Z and select
the black bean and feed it to blob to gain access to the higher walkway.
Continue right and at the sign with the arrow pointing upwards feed blob
another black bean. Climb up to the platform and press C to call the blob, feed
him another and climb up again. Head right for the second chest.
Feed blob a red bean and drop through him. Drop off the platform to the right
and move right to where a black blob is patrolling up and down, feed blob a red
bean and watch the black blob walk over him and drop into the water! Don't
forget to call blob before you continue, you don't want to fall in the water
as well! Jump up the steps and form a ladder at the sign, move left to grab the
final chest and then head back right, dropping through the platform to the huge
black dog blob below. Use another red bead to drop him into the space below. On
the other side form a ladder and run into the golden stars to exit.
Challenge Level 1-2
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: sketches of hideout.
Drop through the platform and drop the dog blob through to the level below. Now
keep dropping down until you are on the level above the sign with the arrow on
it and the dog blob. Make sure the dog is heading away from you to the right
and drop down to his level, now make a drop hole between you and him and he'll
fall right through it. Now keep dropping, making sure he doesn't follow you and
at the lowest level you can get to head right and use a ladder to climb out and
into the golden stars to exit back to the hideout.
A small rock will appear in the right corner of the hideout, have a look at
it for some beautiful concept art.
When you're done, look back at the map on the wall and push onto level three.
Level 1-3
'''''''''
Head right to the skull and crossbones sign. In case you hadn't noticed there
are spikes in the gap there, so don't drop down! Feed blob an orange bean and
trampoline over the spikes. Drop another orange bean and hold up and jump to go
higher to the platform above. Do the same again and push the block off the
ledge onto the black dog blob below. Head right and drop an orange bean onto
the spike pit, it's safe to drop down there then. Trampoline to the platform on
the right and then again to the ledge up on the left to find the first treasure
chest. You'll have to call blob four times to get him up here.
Take a running jump to the right and land back on the ledge. Continue to the
right and jump over the two waterfalls. Trampoline up to the ledge and follow
it round to the treasure chest, you'll need to use another trampoline to get up
there.
Head right and use a red bean to drop the black blob into the pool before
trampolining up three separate times to the sign with the red balloon painted
on. At the junction here take a left and stand on top of the block, chucking a
red bean to the left. Let the blob from and hole and push the block through it
onto the dog blob below. Drop through the hole yourself and press up in the
blue stars.
Drop an orange bean and bounce, pressing A at each landing to go progressively
higher to the final treasure chest above. Exit through the stars to the right.
Now run right and drop an orange bean next to the sign here and trampoline over
the waterfall to reach the exit.
Challenge Level 1-3
''''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: sketches of boy.
Now seems an apt time to mention that you can die if you drop from too high a
position onto the ground below. Keep this in mind when trampolining. Anyway,
trampoline upwards, following the signs. Form a trampoline in the middle of the
firefly lit platform here and keep bouncing upwards. When you're just below the
moon on the platform with fireflies on it drop a trampoline on the far left and
bounce seven or eight times until you can reach the above level. You have to
swerve out to the left as you head upwards and then back right to land safely.
It's quite a manoeuvre and may take a few tries to get it right. The golden
stars to exit are up here.
Level 1-4
'''''''''
Head right and jump over the spike pit. Drop a green bean to pack blob into
your backpack. Drop off the cliff and hit A to open your blobachute. Pack the
chute again and time your run underneath the black bouncing blob. Run off the
cliff and open the chute, gliding to the left, toward the bouncing blob. As it
bounces downwards, run over it and grab the first treasure chest.
Head up the slope and jump over the spikes. Pack the chute and jump off the
edge, gliding as far right as you can to reach the second chest. Glide back
down to the floor.
Head right and use the chute to glide over the waterfall. Jump over the spikes
and form a ladder at the dead end here. Do so again and drop down the tiny gap
up here to reach the final treasure chest. Throw a black bean to the right here
to climb out to the exit.
Challenge Level 1-4
''''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: sketches of boy and blob.
Pack a chute and taking a running leap off the edge before opening the chute to
begin your descent. There isn't much advice I can offer here except hold up to
slow your descent and down to speed it up. Good luck reaching the bottom!
Hints: there are only three horizontally moving blobs to contend with. Avoid
bouncing off the edges, this can lead to wild trajectories on the rebound. It
doesn't matter if a blob hits your chute, just as long as it doesn't touch you.
Level 1-5
'''''''''
Run into the thermal to get blown into the air, to the level above. Time the
jumps over the two black blobs here and use a trampoline to bounce over the two
that are together, reaching the first chest as you do so.
Slide down the slope here and use a trampoline to bounce through the platform,
deceptive, I know. Continue to the thermals, using the first one to take you to
the second chest.
Drop back down and glide on the thermals across the gaps. Drop between the
spikes into the pit and use a red bean, twice. Drop an orange bean just left of
the exit stars and bounce, pressing A once only, onto the platform with the
final chest on. Drop back to the right to exit.
Challenge Level 1-5
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: level design.
Climb out of the pit with a ladder and head left so the empty chamber is above
you. Climb up to it with another ladder and up again. Time your run under the
black frog blob, it is possible, just tricky. Climb up to the level above and
drop a bean on the very edge, climbing up and jumping left to the platform. Now
ladder up to the empty enclosure above and once more, being careful to avoid
the two patrolling blobs above. Exit to the right.
Level 1-6
'''''''''
Run right, dropping down and continue on to the first chest. Easy. Now see the
golden hummingbird above? He's gonna eat any bean you care to drop so head
back to where you began and trampoline onto the level above.
Head to the bird and make a running jump over the black blob there. Jump over
the swamp and drop a red bean next to the patrolling blob to sink him. Keep
jumping over the pits until you reach the area with the dog blob patrolling a
walkway above a spike pit. Toss a red bean up to the dog and get blob to eat
it. Now trampoline up there and drop a red bean just above that tiny extension
into the spike pit so when you drop, you do so safely. Eat the second chest and
trampoline out of there.
Trampoline onto the level above the signs. Drop an orange bean and a
hummingbird will come and snatch it. Move a little to the left and try again.
You can reach a point where he won't eat it so call blob and transform into the
trampoline. Bounce three times and head far right, you'll land just on the lip
of the ledge, sweet! Use the thermals to glide over the spike pit and drop
through the platform just before the three snails on the ground. Toss an orange
bean into the middle of the spike pit below and to the left. Now jump on this
until the dog blob spots you, he'll charge and should run straight under you
and off the edge of the cliff here so run on to the third chest. Toss another
orange bean into the spike pit and bounce out to the exit.
Challenge Level 1-6
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: none - part 1/4.
Toss an orange bean immediately where you stand. Bounce three times and jump
right over the sloped ledge. Set another trampoline in the middle of the wooden
sign and bounce four times to the platform on the right. Take a running jump
right, to the platform with the arrowed sign. Drop a green bean here and jump
and glide to the right, but pull back left quickly or else you'll hit a wall
of blobs! Land safely underneath them and exit.
Level 1-7
'''''''''
Throw a white bean down to turn blob into a ball, pick him up and kick him off
the ledge, he should roll over the spikes and off to the right somewhere. Jump
over the gap and toss a black bean through the branches to the level below.
Call blob and make him eat it to form a ladder to the lower level. Throw
another white bean next to the wooden sign and pick up ball blob. Kick him
into the row of enemies to squish them all. Form a ladder and climb up to the
frog blob above, he's immune to ball blob so you're just going to have to wait
until he's near the far left of his run, jump over him and quickly throw a
black bean to climb out to safety. By the sign throw a white bean and kick
blob ball towards the spikes. Frog blob will lick him up and bounce off
revealing a treasure chest so make blob eat it by throwing a bean up there and
having him transform back.
Drop down the narrow passage and use ball blob to squash the three bouncing
blobs there. Trampoline up here twice to find the second chest. Drop down and
continue right jumping over the swamp. Run past the thermal and stand on the
very edge of the drop into the swamp. Toss a black bean onto the small section
of vertical wall on the other side of the gap, the bean will bounce back toward
you landing on the other side of the gap near to the sign. It's important to
follow this procedure or you aren't going to be able to access the ladder you
create!
Now ride the thermal up and run down the slope, climb down the ladder and open
the chest. Climb back up and kick ball blob underneath the small block here
into the spike pit. Throw an orange bean into there and form a trampoline. Now
run back up the slope and jump onto your trampoline and out the other side,
past the hummingbird to the exit.
Challenge Level 1-7
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: none - part 2/4.
Run up the slope and drop down the other side. Walk a little to the left so you
now have the slope in the background. Kick ball blob right, over the spikes.
Toss a black bean after him so it lands on clear ground. Run up the slope and
jump over the spikes, climbing down your ladder. Make a trampoline at the end
of this passage and bounce to the upper level. Now turn around and kick ball
blob at the wall behind you, he should rebound and roll down the slope coming
to rest in a spike pit there. Chuck an orange bean down there and call blob to
make him eat it (press right on the d-pad to look at blob cam to make sure he's
a trampoline) and drop down on top of him. Bounce out of the pit and come to
rest under the frog blob.
Throw a white bean through the gap, to the frog below. Call blob, make him into
ball blob, when he gets eaten call him again to destroy the first frog.
Now throw a bean from the slope through the gap to the second frog. Make blob
eat this too and destroy this frog in the same manner. Form a ladder up to
where this frog was sitting and up the cliff to the right. Use ball blob to
destroy the patrolling black blobs here and exit.
Level 1-8
'''''''''
Run onto the platform it make it fall. Head right and use some quick jumping to
pass over the platforms here. Use a ladder to climb up and quickly jump over
some more falling platforms. Throw an orange bean in the little pit where the
thermal is, bounce up three times to reach a platform where the first chest is.
Drop down a gap near to the hummingbird and kick ball blob into the path of the
dog blob. Throw a black bean through the branches here and let it sink down to
the next level, get blob to eat it and climb down, making the dog blob charge
at you. He should run down to the alcove with the second chest in it. Kick ball
blob down there and get him to eat it.
Climb out of the pit and head out through a falling platform. Now plant a
trampoline at the far right and bounce up to the next level. Bounce again five
times here and jump over the row of bouncing blobs, over the falling platforms.
Kick ball blob down there and squish all the blobs, or, more specifically the
one with the golden haze around it. Hmmm, I wonder what he's hiding... chest
number three! Bounce out of the pit when you're done.
Head right and ride the falling platform down, making a quick exit to the
right at the blobachute sign and glide down to the exit below. If you're not
confident of your gliding skills then hold up to go slower.

A rather disappointingly easy challenge level, it only requires rapid jumping
skills!
Jump over the spike pit using the two falling platforms. Continue your descent
over five more falling platforms and drop down the curved slope near the
ravens. Head over the spike pit, there are eight platforms easily attacked and
drop down with the platform on the far right.
Head left via five falling platforms then three more over a swamp to the exit.
A cake walk.
Level 1-9
'''''''''
Drop a yellow bean to form the anvil. Push it off the edge onto the bouncing
blob. Squish! Drop down yourself and push the anvil far to the right so you
can jump up the step. Run under the hummingbird and drop another anvil through
the crumble block in the gap. Drop down and push it to the right again to break
another block. Don't drop down here just yet though, jump over the gap and
before going through the next tunnel trampoline upwards to find the first
chest.
Head back to where we broke the block and drop down, heading into the tree
where the blue stars are. Form a trampoline and head up. Do so again and drop
down the other side, onto the chest. Call blob three times and he'll float
through the wall. Make him eat the chest and then trampoline back over to the
other side again and exit through the blue stars.
Run right and push an anvil off the edge onto the black blob. Form a trampoline
and bounce upwards three times to get enough height to clear the cliff. At the
anvil sign drop a yellow bean and push anvil blob onto the huge monster below.
If you hit him centrally the anvil will embed into him providing a safe
platform for you to drop onto and ride the monster to the edge of the spike
pit. Run down the slope under the hummingbird and trampoline upwards to the
platform. Push an anvil of the edge to break the blocks below and gain access
to the third chest.
Challenge Level 1-9
'''''''''''''''''''
Unlockable content: part 4/4 - video footage of real life boy ^_^ .
Drop an anvil onto the middle blob and fall onto this. Jump over the other blob
and press on right. Drop another anvil on the dog blob and push it far over to
jump up the step. Drop an anvil onto the huge blobs head and surf on it to
cross the gap. Drop down with the falling platform.
Push both blocks as far left as you can and drop a yellow bean in the centre of
the leftmost one, thereby forming a crude staircase. Follow the passage and
you'll come to a load of bouncing black blobs. Make an anvil on the floor and
push it along slowly, as a blob bounces on it, it will be elevated to the level
above, clearing a path for you to the exit.
Level 1-10
''''''''''
Deep red sky, tense music, can you feel the build up to something big here?
Pack a blobachute and take a running jump. At the bottom use the trampoline
to get to the platform beneath the bouncing blob. Set up another trampoline
here and bounce twice to gain enough height to jump over the blob onto the
right side of it. Form an anvil and gradually push it left, edging the blob off
the platform to the level below. Push the anvil onto its head when it drops to
find chest number one.
Head right and throw a red bean on the bridge to drop the three black blobs
into the water below. Make a trampoline just next to the slope blocking your
way and double bounce over it onto the platform on the other side. Push an
anvil onto the dog blobs head. Chest number two is revealed.
Head right, up the slope. Drop an anvil on the crumble block and form a
trampoline by the wooden sign, under the firefly. Bounce up five times to reach
chest number three. Jump to the right, onto the falling platform and ride it
all the way down to the ground. Head right to exit.
Boss - Snake Blob
'''''''''''''''''
Form an anvil and push it right. When you see snake blob make a move run to the
left and he'll bash his head on the anvil. Now form a trampoline and bounce
onto the coil to the left of the sparking wire above you. Snake blob will take
a dive at you and hit the electricity as you jump left away from him!
The wire will break and snake blob will jump up out of sight, he'll move right
and left casting a shadow on the floor. At the extremities of his path he'll
drop down, so place a red bean on the shadow here and he'll drop right down
into the water finishing him off for good.
In the moonlight give blob a hug for all of his hard work. Plod on to the right
down the slopes and into the house overlooking the city.
Climb up into the attic of the house and drop down on the other side. Descend
the ladders to beneath the ground to find the new world map.

Head right past the street lights and use a pink bean to transform into a space
hopper! Bounce (A button) over the steps and continue on this level to find the
first chest.
Head back and descend the steps and drop down the open manhole. Bounce over the
gap and follow the cave round to the water. Hop onto spacehopper blob and float
over the water. Bounce over to the platform with the arrow sign on it and keep
moving left. Hop up to the platform over the black floating blob and hop up
once more. Hop left to the second chest.
Drop right and slide down the slope. You can squash the two bouncing blobs with
spacehopper blob. Hop up the three falling platforms and push the block here
off the edge to the left. Push it again, right this time, onto the head of a
dog blob below to reveal chest number three. Now simply head upwards and push
the stone block far over to the right, hop onto it on spacehopper blob and
exit.

Note: I find this level fiendishly hard. I died a lot of times before I
completed it.
Jump onto spacehopper blob and hop right being careful not to fall into the
pits below. If the gap is small, don't jump, just hop over. If the gap is
large then jump and hop at the same time. The sequence for crossing gaps here
is:
J-J-H-J-J-H-H (platform with black blob)-
H-J-H-H-H (reverse slant slope)-J-J (platform with jumping black blob)-
J-J-J-J-J-J-J exit (phew!)

The first time you have a full circle of beans! Jump over the blob and drop an
anvil onto the crumbling blocks. Drop down and take some running jumps over the
water. Drop a black bean and form a ladder up to the alcove where the dog blob
is wandering. Form a hole between yourself and the dog and when he turns around
and sees you he'll charge, drop through the hole and demolish the block wall.
Head through, pack a chute and run off the edge, hugging the right hand
wall to land on a ledge below. Take a running jump to the right and open your
chute to glide to the first chest. Now drop a trampoline in the ray of light
here and bounce up three times to reach the upper level, from here pack a chute
and take a running jump to the right.
Trampoline up to the platform and kick ball blob through the narrow gap,
killing the floating black blob and knocking through the wall at the same time.
Set a trampoline on the crumble blocks and jump up to the ledge, push an anvil
off here and head down the newly opened passage. Use spacehopper blob to cross
the water and jump left at the ray of light. Go over the falling platforms and
push an anvil onto the block wall from above. Head towards the blue stars. Use
a trampoline to reach the second chest. You can tell the levels are getting
longer now can't you.
Back through the blue stars run right, up the slopes to the dog blob. Jump onto
spacehopper blob and loiter near to the wall separating you from the dog. When
he spots you and begins to charge bounce right and make a quick left at the
bottom to avoid him dropping on you. Go through the wall he destroyed and drop
an anvil on him to find chest number three.
Bounce up out of the pit and to the exit on the right.

Run left until you're right next to the small gap in the wall. Kick ball blob
down there and he'll get lifted in the thermal and get blown off the screen to
the right. Throw a black bean through the branches into the path of dog blob
and call your blob for him to come and form a ladder to the lower level. Jump
over the dog blob and run right stopping just left of the three bouncing blobs.
Drop a red bean and go through the hole, use ball blob to squish the three
bouncing blobs and stand in the middle of this platform. Throw a black bean
through the narrow gap on the right, it will bounce off the wall and land
underneath you. Get blob to eat it to provide a ladder to the exit.
Level 2-3
'''''''''
Go up the slopes and stairway and use a ladder to climb up to the next level.
Now there's a pressure operated switch and a rock nearby. In true Zelda fashion
push the block onto the switch and go through the opened door. Use ball blob to
squish the two bouncing blobs here and throw a yellow bean onto the switch so
the weight of the anvil will open the door. Descend the stairs and use
spacehopper blob to cross the water. Feed ball blob to frog blob and watch as
the enemy above is destroyed and then squash the frog yourself. Trampoline to
the upper level and push the rock onto the left hand switch below. Continue
through the newly accessible doorway and make some carefully timed jumps under
the floating blobs here. Use a trampoline to jump to the blue stars in the only
free vertical tunnel above you.
The doors here are on a timed sequence, controlled by the patrolling blob
walking over the switches in the passage at the very bottom of the screen.
After the second door, hold left and when the horizontal door slides over the
spikes you'll stay put on the tip of it. Now it's trivial to follow the opening
doors to the first chest. Exit through the blue stars.
Blobachute off the edge here and use a yellow bean to make an anvil in the
tiny gap here. Now push the rock over the anvil, this will take little pushes
at a time to safely get underneath the oscillating blob. Push the block onto
the switch and use a red bean to descend to the passage below. Now run over the
redundant switch and stop as you enter the large cavern. Drop a trampoline and
hug the wall to find a small alcove with the second chest in it.
Blobachute back down and run into the ray of light. Stop and drop through with
a hole here and use spacehopper blob to cross the water to the final chest.

Drop a trampoline in the middle of the crystals on the floor in front of you.
Bounce three times, through the gap to the ledge above. Trampoline up again and
on the third bounce you'll land on the falling platform so quickly jump right
onto the next and right again to safety. From here toss an orange bean onto the
lip of the spiked ledge and bounce up and down on the trampoline. When dog blob
sees you he'll charge so bounce onto the platform and let him wipe out all
blobs on screen.
Drop back down onto the lip and throw an orange bean down the cliff behind you.
Press right on the d-pad to see the blob cam and where you have to aim to land
it just right! When you land, just let the boy bounce of his own accord and
you'll lose enough height to safely make the ledge on your right. From here
bounce upwards and after four bounces you can clear the floating blob here and
exit.
Level 2-4

Drop a red bean to be eaten by zorb blob. Sprint forward tapping A to get a
speed burst and clear the wall. Now drop into the U-shaped pit here and zorb
upwards and out onto the firefly lit platform. Here head left, through another
U-pit to the first chest. Now speed ball right into a huge U-pit. Climb out of
it with speed bursts and you'll be beneath a hummingbird.
Drop into the U-pit here and speed burst up the right wall to land on an upper
level. Exit zorb blob and push an anvil off the edge here. Ride the falling
platform down and go through the newly opened pathway, to the blue stars. It's
rather simple here, use a ladder to get to the chest and set a hole to exit!
Back at the hummingbird, head right, past the arrow sign and follow the
natural layout of the course. Shoot up through the fireflies to find the second
chest just below the cave ceiling. Now drop back down and head right, getting
tossed by the monster there towards the exit.

Drop through the platform before you even reach the bouncing blobs. Head into
zorb blob and charge up through the floating blobs and the crumbling wall to
the level above. Squish the three patrolling blobs here and exit zorb blob to
jump over the step. Continue in zorb blob, following the only passage you can.
You'll be thrown by a monster into a thermal and blown up to a new area. Head
left and squash a couple of frogs and anything else in your way to the exit
here.

Blob will eat the light in front and act like a lamp, give him a hug for being
so useful. Throw a yellow bean onto the switch above and make him eat it, the
weight of the anvil will open the door. Do the same in the passageway and drop
down at the end. Beware of the water here, it's hard to spot it first time
around. Never mind, spacehopper blob will see you across safely. Use a ladder
to the higher platform and bounce across to the first chest with spacehopper
blob.
Drop down to the sign and pack a chute. Run (but don't jump) off the edge and
midway down glide into the alcove on the right. Use a red bean to drop through
the floor to the second chest.
Climb out with a ladder and continue your glide down. Run up the slope and turn
around, kicking ball blob down it. He'll end up beneath you so feed him a
yellow bean on the switch to open the door. Drop through the floor and drop the
dog blob down a level into the pit. Climb up to the rock and push it onto the
dog blob via two holes. The final chest is revealed.

Jump the gaps to the sign. Pack a chute and deploy it when you're riding the
thermal. There isn't much to say here, just follow the thermals along, avoiding
the blobs, it isn't too hard.
Level 2-6
'''''''''
Jump the spiked pit and toss an orange bean under the jumping blob to elevate
him to the space above. Continue right and trampoline the next black blob into
the ceiling to squash him. Move on to the signpost. Use a green bean to create
jack blob and push the circular platform above out the way by pressing A.
Trampoline up to this level and run under the black blob here. Toss a yellow
bean onto the switch above and pass through the door that opens. Form another
anvil on the switch at the end of the tunnel to open the door, when the pig
blob walks through, call your blob to trap piggy where he can't hurt you. Now
use jack blob to remove the stone blocking your ascent. Trampoline your way
upwards, using a single bounce only to avoid the spiked ceiling. Bounce up to
the firefly platform and jack the switch on the ceiling there. When the black
blob hits the floor, transform your blob back. Now drop a red bean underneath
the bouncing black blob to let him pass through to the crumbling blocks,
clearing the way to your first chest.
Backtrack and go to the sign with the red arrow on it. Here you need to use the
jack to fill the gap so you can push the block over it to the switch on the
other side. Before you head up, go to the lower level and push the block on the
switch there. Make an anvil on the second switch to get access to the second
chest.
Trampoline upwards and go to the area with the trapped dog blob. Here you need
to jack the stone, make an anvil on the right most switch and then stand on the
left switch forcing the dog to charge and break the wall. Trampoline the tiny
bouncing blob up a level and drop another trampoline underneath the one that's
hiding the final chest. When he reaches the apex of his jump you need to jump
under him but over the trampoline and onto the switch there. Squelch! Chest
number three; check.
To exit run right, a huge blobby blob is blocking your path though. Drop into
the alcove beneath him and jack him right up to the ceiling to squish him good
and leave you free to exit.

Kick ball blob into the thermal on the left, he'll come to rest in the narrow
passage up there. Stand on the switch to pinball him across, quickly jump left
to avoid being killed by exploding blobs. Now run right of the switch and make
a hole in the floor to drop to safety. Go up the slope and run over the gap.
Kick ball blob over the spikes and let frog blob eat him up. Now stand on the
little rock in the middle of this platform and throw a yellow bean onto the
switch above you on your left. You'll rise with the gate and can jump to the
upper level (I know, I thought I was going to get squashed doing this as well).
Now you can run right and drop to the exit.

Drop through the platform and zorb your way up the curved slopes, continuing
until you squash the three patrolling black blobs. Follow the course until you
reach some blue stars.
Drop an anvil onto the monsters head and surf him left to the first chest.
Repeat and surf him to the exit on the right, making a careful dismount as he
heads back the other way.
Head right and zorb your way into the five monsters here. They'll toss you to
progressively higher levels. Stop short of the sign and trampoline up into the
fireflies to find another blue starred exit. Get into zorb blob and run through
the tunnel squashing everything in your wake. Trampoline up at the end and drop
down the other side. Get into zorb blob to make your way to the chest. Now make
a trampoline on the lip at the base of the slope, it is possible to do so!
Bounce your way to the exit.
Zorb your way past the signs and build up enough momentum to make the jump to
the high ledge with the blue stars on it. Now speed zorb your way far to the
right over all the gaps to the final chest. Exit through the blue stars then
form a hole in the platform to exit the level.

Jack the stone above you and push the block onto the left switch. Form an anvil
on the right one and pass through the opened double door. Jack the huge monster
up a level and let him fall into the spike pit. Put an anvil on his head and
surf it over to the other side. Climb the slope and prepare for some rapid
jumping. Run out on the first stone as it moves out, wait a second and jump to
the right just as the other pops out, Repeat this process to get near to the
exit. The bottom two move out at the same time so stay on the right hang
platform above these and hold right, as the platform retracts you'll swerve
into the exit alcove, avoiding the two bottom platforms altogether.

Jack the whole rock formation in front of you upwards. Make a ladder to the
rock above and push it through a hole. Drop it on top of the black blob and
grab chest number one.
Use a ladder and jack up the red rock wall, it'll move another at the same
time so head under them to the edge of the water. Use spacehopper blob to get
to the other side and jack the rock up to the highest level. Climb up there
yourself with some ladders and push the rock onto the switch. Jack up the red
rock and stop near to frog blob. Jack the rock up to the highest level and
using spacehopper blob, bounce up to it. Push it right off two ledges and
into the back of frog blob, He'll be pushed down the slope and the rock will
move onto his head squashing him and revealing the second chest.
Cross the water and jack up the red rock you find, go as far up as you can.
Turn around and run up the new slope behind you to find chest number three,
reach it with spacehopper blob. Jack up the same red wall again and run right
along the long red walkway that's appeared to find the exit.

Run down the slope and, from a safe distance, form an anvil in the path of the
first blob you encounter. Push the anvil down the next couple of slopes before
descending yourself. Push the anvil into the path of the bouncing blob to raise
him to the same level as the patrol blob, then run over the falling platform.
Toss another yellow bean onto the crumbling blocks and let the black blob
destroy them.
Form and anvil on the button and stand on the lowered door. Call blob and
you'll be raised with the door. Jump over the black blob below you and place an
anvil as a step to the platform with the switch on it. Place an anvil on the
switch and go to the other side of the door. Call blob and wait for the
horizontally moving black blob to come on screen, then toss a bean towards it
causing the hummingbird to collide with it and destroy both parties. Now you're
free to push an anvil on the monsters head and ride him to the exit.

Jack the stone and trampoline up there. Launch the black blob here into the
ceiling with a trampoline. Head right at the top and drop through two floors.
Jack up through the two floating blobs and trampoline up to the left. Jack the
button on the ceiling here. On the other side of the door that opens jack the
stone above you and trampoline upwards and through the ceiling above the
spikes. Drop the stone through a hole onto the floating black blobs below and
push the next stone off the edge again. Drop down after it and push the stone
through a hole in the floor onto dog blobs head. Grab chest number one.
Head back to where you just fell and plant a trampoline, bouncing four times to
the blue stars in the alcove above to the right. Jack the stone and trampoline
up to the second chest. Exit through the blue stars.
Head left and drop a trampoline into the gap, push the rock onto it to send it
to the highest platform, follow it and push it off the edge onto the black
blobs below. Drop down and form a couple of holes, jacking the stone when you
get there. Trampoline upwards five times to reach the blue stars at the top.
Enter to find the final chest. Slide down the slope to exit.
Head right and jump across the gap, use a trampoline to follow the red arrow
upwards. Avoid the black blobs and jack the stone. Drop through the floor and
drop the patrolling blob down a level onto the switch. Follow the tunnel to the
exit.

Drop the block down, squishing the patrolling blob and again to remove the row
of floating black blobs. Avoid hitting the horizontal floating blob, but the
dog beneath it to wipe them both out simultaneously. You can leave the block
here now if you wish, it has served its purpose. Continue to drop down each
level and before the very final drop use a red bean far right, drop as the
dog walks away from you. Exit on the right.
Level 2-10

Move left and toss a red bean onto the platform, dropping the black blob onto
the switch below. This releases the caged blob above which will go on to
destroy the wall on the right. Trampoline up through the fireflies to find the
first chest.
Drop back down and blobachute off the cliff. Stick to the right wall and slow
your descent, you'll pass through a narrow gap at the top of the slope with all
the black blobs on it and come to chest number two. Chute off again and come to
rest on the edge with the branches on it, just above the sign at the base of
the cliff.
Run right to the spike pit and push an anvil onto the little piggy blobs head.
Now wait for pig blob to pass under the oscillating blob. When the oscillating
blob is at the upper extremity of its path take a running jump onto the anvil,
you should just make it. Phew! Jump off at the other end, by the hummingbird.
Now you have to make the bird collide with the black blobs, but this is
difficult to do without ending up caught in the explosion yourself. Stand
directly underneath the bird and throw diagonally up-right. Now blobachute off
the edge, hit the wall and rebound onto the path below. Make dog blob charge at
you, as he hits the lip and contracts jump over him and sprint left to the
other lip for safety. Push the rock onto the switch and blobachute down into
the new area. Land by the fireflies on the left and trampoline upwards, chute
down the other side to find chest number three. Continue to chute downwards,
into the darkness...
Boss - Lion Blob
''''''''''''''''
When the lights come on move left and wait for him to swipe at you, as he does
dodge it and throw a red bean to get into zorb blob. Power up the slope on your
left and jump off the slant up here, to the right. You should land on a
platform with a bouncing black blob and a switch. Get out of zorb blob and
stand on the switch, a horizontal stone will retract and the bouncing black
blob will continue on its extended path into the boss. Quickly get into zorb
blob again as he'll most likely shoot projectiles from the tip of the tentacles
which won’t hurt you if your in zorb.
Now zorb to the far right where another bouncing black blob is. Stand here a
while and the boss will stroll underneath you. Simply wait here and he'll jump
up at you, collide with the bouncing black blob and boom!
Exit via the door on the floor level.
You appear on a ledge in the night sky. Unfortunately you can't hug blob but
you do have a new brown bean to try out, I wonder what it does...?
