To do this, you must either jump from platform to platform, or create rainbows and climb on top of them to get higher. However, Rainbow Islands is much more complex than it immediately appears. | ||

However, there are three additional items which are initially hidden. You must perform a particular task on each of the seven original items in order to reveal the three hidden islands. These three islands bring the stage total up to 40. | ||
On each island, you must complete the four stages by climbing from the bottom of the stage to the top. Each stage of an island is typically taller than the previous stage. Along the way, you must dodge and/or attack the various enemies that occupy the stage. When you reach the very top, a treasure chest will fall from the sky, open up, and deposit a number of items around for you to collect. These items will always be worth 500 points regardless of how much they might be worth if you collected them during the stage. | On each island, you must complete the four stages by climbing from the bottom of the stage to the top.

It's one thing to make a large diamond appear when you defeat the boss of an island. It's entirely different to make a silver door appear. Silver doors appear at the top of the screen when the boss appears. In order to make a silver door appear, not only must you collect all seven small diamonds, but you must collect them ''in order''. That is, you must collect them from red to violet, or from violet to red. If you collect any diamond out of order, you will not be able to access the silver door at the end of the island. | It's one thing to make a large diamond appear when you defeat the boss of an island.

Passing through the silver door, you will find the large diamond or mirror for that island, along with a giant powerup. The effects from the giant powerups found behind the silver doors are permanent, and will last until the end of the game. The only exception are the gold doors found behind the silver door of Island 5. These doors allow you to warp ahead to Island 7 or Island 8. If you wish to see the true ending, you must ''avoid'' using either one of these doors. | ||
