Need help with 4-4

[AmusedAce]

I'm stuck at the beginning of the level, no clue how to hit the crystal at the top. The playthrough I watched used the scattershot to get it, which I don't have. Do I need to start a new save and make sure to grab that, or is there another way?

Kill the shark motorbike thing, possess it and press the attack button while holding up.

Thanks, can't believe I didn't think to do that ;-;

Thanks from me, too. It seems so obvious now... Stopped playing a while back because of this.
