Description[]
An ancient-looking level with lots of new platforming. This level starts outside and has lots of ancient platforms and pillars scattered around. It also has ruins that you can go inside which have traps and other obstacles.
Walkthrough[]
- A Specter Coin is located in the Sparkplug pit. To get the the Sparkplug pit, Spike must first go through the ruins and push the block next to the monkey Kenny. Once in the pit, go straight and then climb up the thin balancing beam to the left to get the coin.
- Another Specter Coin can be found near the monkey Stan after Spike comes out of the Sparkplug pit. To obtain it climb up the big stone blocks and poles found next to Stan.
- A third Specter Coin is visible on a slope on Spike's left if he enters the first ruins and follows the path up. In order to get it, he must fall into the second trapdoor triggered by a monkey and then must loop around to the slope.
Strategy[]
Wind Tunnel: There is a monkey with green pants that stands in front of a fan. In order to catch it you must crawl to sneak up on it, because if it spots you it will turn on the fan and blow you away.
