Upa finds himself in Vegetable World. There are long gaps which Upa may not necessarily be able to leap across. As a result, there are many points where flying blue dolls appear on the screen so that Upa can inflate them with his rattle, and ride them over the chasms. Although Upa can make the first long leap, it's still easier to ride an inflated blue doll over the gap.
Use the Octopus to ride up to the platform in the sky. However, take care when you reach the tomatoes; they will immediately begin to fall down as soon as you step on them. Jump over to the columns on your way down to land safely and continue on.
Don't put Upa in danger just to reach the first item box, as it only contains an apple worth 500 bonus points. You will need to reach the top, however, in order to continue further into the stage. Use the octopus to reach the second box with another apple. Then leap across the gap from one high platform to the next to reach a truly valuable item box containing the world's first heart.
If you collected the heart, it's easier to drop down to your left before leaping over to the thin columns on the right.
Throughout the next section, you do not need any enemies aid to cross over the platforms, but many blue dolls will fly towards you. You should always rattle them to remove them as a threat. Whether you want to ride on top of them over the platforms is up to you. It's safer, but slower.
World 2-1 boss
Naturally, you should be suspicious of the tomato platforms. The first set of three will all fall down as soon as you land on them, so jump over to the right as quickly as possible. Once you reach the column, you'll see another tomato platform that blinks in and out. Jump towards it when it's not visible, and you should land on it while it's present just long enough to leap off of it to the right.
Some flying blue dolls will help you reach the top of the stage at the end, but no boss will be present. To reach the boss, you must jump on top of the tomato platform near the top, and let it send you to the boss up above.
Boss: Just as you did in the first stage, you must fight another large pink pig. And just as you did in the first stage as well, you must hit it three times with the hopping red dolls that it spits out from it's snout. You can stand to either side of the pig. Just be prepared to hit the dolls with your rattle because there isn't a lot of room in the corners. Because of the low lying position of the boss' platform, it's actually possible to hit the boss twice before he gets to spit out more dolls if you time the second attack well. If it hits the boss while he's stunned however, he won't take any damage.
For this world, Upa dons goggles in order to see better underwater. He starts at the bottom of the stage (shown to the left), and must swim all the way up to the top (shown to the right). Along the way, he will be attacked by seahorses who try to home in on his position. Note that some walls contain pink spikes which are harmful to Upa.
From the beginning, it's possible to swim straight up while moving only slightly in order to avoid any seahorses that might get a little too close. You only need to worry about maneuvering around platforms when you reach the first item box. That item box happens to contain a heart which you don't want to miss out on, so hit it as you pass by it.
The next series of platforms occupy the center and are home to a few blue dolls that drop off the sides as they run across. Inside are a few item boxes, all of which contain apples. Wait until it's safe to proceed before continuing your ascent.
You will reach a point where you must choose the path on the right, or up through the middle of the rock. Either path is safe, but if you swim up through the middle, stay to the left to avoid the falling blue doll.
When you are forced to swim through a very narrow channel, you will have to use your rattle to prevent some enemies from hitting Upa. However, don't push the enemy to the right, or it will hit the wall, bounce back and hurt you. Instead, let it float harmlessly up to the next section.
Don't miss out on the health restoring jar of milk in the middle of the stage (bottom of the right map). From there, you must begin another long ascent to the top of the screen. At this point, you can confuse the homing seahorses by swimming back and forth across the edge of the screen to reappear on the opposite side. While you can rattle the seahorses if they get too close to you, there's little reason to stop and deal with them unless you have to.
Once you reach the next rock formation, swim to the left in order to collect the jar of milk hidden in the next item box. From there, make your final approach to the very top of the stage. Once you reach it, the treasure chest containing the fairies will automatically appear from the ceiling. You do not have to fight a boss upon completing this stage.
At the start of this stage, you'll notice an item box above your head. Do not feel pressure to find a way to get up there, as the box only contains an apple. If you truly wish to reach it, let the first walking blue doll approach you, and wait to rattle it until it's closer to the left. Then hit it and ride it to the top.
Naturally, beware of the first set of two tomato platforms, as they will fall as soon as you land on them. Jump onto them, and jump off as quickly as you land. Once you reach the other side of the platform, you will see three more tomato platforms that travel back and forth on a fixed path. Get up to the high horizontally moving platform, and drop down to the lower one to continue.
Beyond the final two diagonally moving tomato platforms, you will reach a section with three rising balloons. The balloons rise in a pattern from right to left. To safely cross this gap, you must wait patiently for the next balloon to appear. This means you will have to ride each balloon close to the top of the screen before jumping off and advancing to the next one.
The next two tomato platforms will fall, but you can avoid them by rattling the flying blue doll that appears and riding on top of it. The item in the next box is an hourglass. Collecting it will freeze all of your enemies in place for a short while. If you do this, you can rattle the rare frog enemy and ride it to the top of the column, where you can jump off and strike the next item box which contains an apple.
As you proceed, you'll see an item box underneath a ledge. Watch out for the frogs below and allow the tomato platform to plummet when the frogs are out of the way. Come back to the left and strike the box to find a heart. Then move to the right, and a flying blue doll will appear to help you escape from the pit.
Just beyond this section, you will notice another box below a short platform. This box contains an extra life, but it can be tricky to collect. It's fairly easy to reach, but a little harder to escape from. If you fall off the column and push to your left, you should land safely below the platform where you can strike the box. To safely escape from this platform, you must wait on the far left for a flying blue doll to appear. Let it approach you, and hit it with your rattle when it is below the ground that you stand on. Then walk on to it as it inflates, and let it take you up above the first tomato platform before jumping off.
World 2-3 boss
Boss: For the first time since you started the game, you are finally presented with a new boss. This giant snake has fiery breath, and he will attempt to burn you with the three puffs of flame that he spits at you when he gets close. Standing on the platform to the left won't necessarily protect you from the flame as he is just as happy to spit the fire up there as well. All the while, troops of frogs will bounce in from the right side of the screen. These serve as your ammunition against the snake. When they are close enough for you to strike, inflate them with your rattle and push them into the snake. If you hit the boss five times with inflated frogs, he will be defeated. At that time, two treasure chests will drop from the ceiling. One contains an extra life, and the other contains faeries. If you guess correctly, you'll get both, but if you guess wrong, you'll simply be whisked away to the next world.
