Pandemonium!/Levels 1-6

Level 1 - Skull Fortress
Right at the beginning, there is a Freeze Ray hidden in the stone statue above the path. Hit it with a jump to reveal the weapon. Another weapon, a Fireball, is found a little further ahead, under a step. To reach it, you have to jump on top of a carnivorous plant. In this first area, defeating the enemies and collecting all the coins is very easy and you can become familiar with the game's controls. Further on you will encounter watermelons, which allow you to make high jumps and which you will have to use to proceed. Along the way you will also find a heart and another Fireball. You will then come to a point where you have to climb in front of a waterfall. You need to jump onto the carnivorous plant on the rock in the center to reach a red coin on the left. On the right there is another heart. Follow the path to arrive at a new area.

Proceed over the bridges. When you get to some floating platforms, you'll notice some flying enemies with a coin on top of each one (and a Fireball). To get the coins, you have to jump from one enemy to another, killing them. You'll want to get familiar with this move, because you'll have to use it often. Then pass under the wooden arch and jump down, where there is a carnivorous plant. By killing it you will get more coins. Then drop lower and lower and continue left, collecting coins along the way. At the bottom, an elevator will take you back up. Proceed to the right and collect the key to clear the way and return to where you went before. The path is easy and linear, although sometimes you will have to jump on enemies to get coins. When you come to a cliff, go down keeping close to the wall. You will then land close to a recess where a key is located. The key will allow you to reach a heart. From there then, jump on the enemies and continue to the right, being careful not to fall. You will then enter the next area through a secret entrance, where you will get many coins.

Continue, jump on the platforms and take the key on the stone to make it move. Take another key and continue left. There is a double treasure time. At this point, proceed quickly to the left taking as many coins as you can in the next few seconds, avoiding the moving rocks. Once at the bottom, go back. Continue right. The path is convoluted but very linear. You will then find another key on a raised platform. To reach it you must take advantage of the enemy walking nearby or Nikki's double jump. The key will make the platform move and thanks to it you can reach the space above, where there are many coins. Be sure to collect them all, including the ones in the passages on the right, but don't go any further. There is another key on a platform above, which will allow you to reach the highest part of this area, where there are more coins between two carnivorous plants. After collecting everything, continue right, using the upper passage. This way you can reach other coins. As you go down, you will also find a heart. Finally continuing on the right, you will arrive at the exit portal.

Level 2 - Hollow Stairway
The first part of the level is a long spiral climb around a tower. Along the way you will encounter some simple enemies and many coins to collect. To reach some of them you will have to take advantage of the flying enemies. In addition to the coins, there are also two hearts. There are gaps along the path, but they are not lethal: if you fall into one of them you will simply go down to the lower level and will have repeat part of the climb. You will then come to a point where there are some flying enemies, with a coin above each of them, in an ascending arrangement. If you manage to reach the upper level using these enemies, you will find an extra life on the right. If you don't succeed, you won't be able to take the Ankh, because if you reach it in the conventional way, it will disappear when you get close. At the bottom of the climb you will find a key. If you grab it, the wall with spikes just ahead will start to descend. You will therefore now have to do the entire route in reverse, avoiding being reached by the spikes, or you will immediately lose a life. New coins will appear along the way, but you can't use the gaps to go down faster, as they will have been filled. Once you reach the gate at the base of the tower, the spikes will stop. Enter to access the next area.

You will now find yourself on a platform that slowly rises upwards. All you have to do here is move around so you can get as many coins as possible. Soon you will arrive at the top. Immediately before reaching the top there is also a heart.

At the top of the tower proceed right and eliminate the first carnivorous plant you encounter to find a double treasure time. At this point proceed quickly, ignoring the carnivorous plants, taking as many coins as possible. Once the effect wears off, you can go back and calmly eliminate the enemies, one of which hides a Fireball. Further ahead there is a depression in the path, without a carnivorous plant. Upon entering it, the floor will give way and you can collect more coins underneath. A platform on the right will take you back to the top of the tower. A little further on you will find the exit portal.

Level 3 - Dungeon Tower
The first part is very easy. Proceed avoiding the intermittent flames and eliminating the enemies. Immediately after the arrow pointing right, drop down and enter the well on the floor on the left. You will then enter a secret room. Jump onto the springy platform in the middle to reach the target on the left with your weapon. Hitting it will cause coins to come out of the bag above it. Try to get as much as possible. Sometimes, a Double Treasure Time will also come out of the bag. However, after a few hits, the target will fall to the ground. Exit to the right to return to the main level. Continue to go around the circumference using the springy platforms to jump, avoiding the flames and collecting the coins. You will also find a Double Treasure Time and a heart. Enter the cage at the end to reach the next area.

Here you must proceed avoiding spikes that rise and fall. You will then encounter some quite insidious green enemies, who shoot fiery beams and cannot be killed. Move with timing to avoid their attacks. You will come to a point where you can choose between two paths. Use the elastic platform to reach the upper one and take all the coins and then go back to take the ones below. Then continue moving forward, avoiding the spikes and collecting the coins. You shouldn't encounter any problems. The only slightly tricky point is just before the end of this area, where you have to collect some rotating coins using the mobile elastic platform and avoiding the fireballs fired by the green enemy up ahead. Be careful not to get hit. The cage at the end will take you to the third and final area.

Ignore the key, which you can't take for now. There are several routes available in this area. The best and most fruitful way to proceed is as follows. Right after the key, jump to take the upper path. Follow it to the end and enter the well. You will then return to the beginning, taking the key. A small platform will then lead you to a hidden path, high up, where many coins can be found. Proceed to the right, being careful not to fall. You will then arrive on the roof of the tower, where there are more coins. Keep going until you reach a hidden entrance, right on the tip of the roof. You will go down through a spiral path, where many more coins are found. Finally, you will come to a vertical pit that you will be forced to jump into. Going down you will get more coins and the first gold rimmed heart, which will permanently increase your maximum life energy. Then moving to the right you will have the opportunity to take more coins. Once at the bottom, proceed left to reach a key. Taking it will clear the path that leads to the center of the room, where you will find the exit portal.
