Up the Waterfall

"Up The Waterfall" is the second and last normal level in the Inca Village.

Walkthrough


The first thing you see is two broken platforms jump across them and get on the other side, there you will be able to place the Yellow Jelly Jump/Gummi Saver and reach higher ground once there you can take the YELLOW CRYSTAL and jump back down. After that you must go to the Smash Box located in the end of the ground, once you've smashed it you will be able to see the two platforms you have to use, jump on the lower one, jump on the higher one and then triple jump to reach the ground above you. Once you've made it there, follow the path, killing the Tribal Dantini on your way, until you reach a Climbable Wall, climb up it and then turn right and smash the Smash Box then using the three rocks, get across the waterfall, then follow the path, kill the Tribal Dantini and climb up the wall. Once you've done that, turn left and cross the bridge, then jump in the water and then jump on the ground with the Tribal Dantini, kill the Tribal Dantini and smash the box, then jump on the water again and reach the ground with the door and go through the door. You are inside a cave, you can see a Smash Box and a Checkpoint Gong, smash the box and tail attack the Checkpoint Gong, then jump on the platform over the water and then swing on to the next platform to get the GREEN CRYSTAL. Then you can see a Frog. Kill it and gather the crystals, continue swimming and kill the next Frog and gather all of the crystals on your way. Once you reach ground jump on it, kill the Tribal Dantini and smash the box, then jump along the two broken platforms and jump on the ground. From there, follow the crystals until you see the two crumbling platforms. Jump across them and jump to the ground, kill the Tribal Dantini and then jump on the Raft. Once you leave the Raft, kill the Tribal Dantini, then you will be able to see the exit, ignore it for now and turn right, walk until you find the Smash Box, jump on it (be very careful not to smash it) and then use it to triple jump on the platform above you, then jump along the platforms and gather the Heart and the RED CRYSTAL, and then turn around and return at the Smash Box to gather the crystals, then use the exit to leave. Once you're out of the cave, turn right and jump along the broken box and two platforms to get to the other side of the waterfall, then jump on the object you see, and use triple jump to jump to the higher ground. Once you've made it there, follow the path until you find a big rock, jump on it and from there you can triple jump onto a tree, using the tree you can reach higher ground, once there, kill the Tribal Dantini and swim to the other side of the waterfall (you have to jump multiple times while you're in water so that you won't be dropped down by the current) once you've made it, enter the cave. You must tail attack the Checkpoint Gong and then you must swing across to the platform, from there you must jump on the crumbling platform and then jump on the next platform and smash the box, then you must swing to the next platform, then swing to the broken box and then jump on the ground and kill the Tribal Dantini, and then you must go through the exit. You must kill the Tribal Dantini, smash the box, and go across the bridge (killing the two Tribal dantinis on you way) then you must smash the two boxes and then use the rock to triple jump to the higher ground, then you must smash the box and then stand on the Clockwork Gobbo Point and use the Clockwork Gobbo. CC This is a short run, and it requires little movement on your part. CC Still, do your best to stick to the shortest possible path while still CC collecting all of the crystals. You will also get a Heart along the CC way, and if you have enough momentum (which won't be terribly difficult     CC  here), you'll reach the BLUE CRYSTAL at the end.

As Croc again: You must jump across using the crumbling platform, kill the Tribal Dantinis and jump on top of the tree, there you will find the VIOLET CRYSTAL, then you turn around and you will see the Golden Gobbo Teleportation Orb. Go on and touch it. GG This is a series of swings over a Spike Pit, where missing a platform GG means missing out on the Golden Gobbo Statue, unless you replay the GG stage from the start. Jump to each Tail as it swings towards you, and GG most importantly, jump off near the end of the swing and let your own GG momentum land you on the target platform. Pushing forward on the [L GG stick] more than just a smidge risks sending you flying off the far GG side. Make five successful swings to grab the Golden Gobbo Statue and GG teleport back.

Once you're sent back, you must go through the door. Once you're in the next area, you must climb up the wall, then you must jump on top of the tree and gather the crystal. Then you must drop down and swim until you find land, then you must kill the Tribal Dantini and use the rock to triple jump on the higher ground. Once there you must kill the Tribal Dantini, smash the box and climb up the wall, then you must smash the box in the corner and then you must swim across to the other side (don't forget to jump multiple times as you're swimming) then once you've made it to the other side, you just get on top of the machine and stand on the button.
