Notes, Tips & Tricks

• Chapter 7 is big. It contains 47 strawberries scattered across seven sub-sections of the level. Each sub-section is designated by a distance traveled up the mountain (500m, 1000m, etc.). Each of the first six sections contains a single hidden gem. All of these must be collected in order to collect the Crystal Heart located in the final section (3000m). The B-Side Tape is located in the fourth section (1500m).
  
• Strawberry distribution and timecodes for the other collectables are as follows:
  
  • Section 1 (Start): 4 Strawberries, 1 gem (2:08)
    
  • Section 2 (500m): 6 Strawberries, 1 gem (2:50-4:07)
    
  • Section 3 (1000m): 6 Strawberries, 1 gem (7:21-8:07)
    
  • Section 4 (1500m): 8 Strawberries, 1 gem (12:25), B-Side Tape (10:47)
    
  • Section 5 (2000m): 8 Strawberries, 1 gem (14:38-15:20)
    
  • Section 6 (2500m): 8 Strawberries, 1 gem (19:00-20:08)
    
  • Section 7 (3000m): 7 Strawberries, Crystal Heart (23:36)
• Many mechanics from previous chapters reappear in this chapter, including the double dash move introduced at the end of Chapter 6. In addition, you'll encounter purple bubbles containing your "dark double" self, who will throw you in a predetermined direction on certain screens. (This recharges your dash stamina.)

[dvnares]

what sequence of keys do you press to take the heart?

[Braden]

@ZlatanTheCrow - You mean the part where you need to be good at air control or the part where you dash into the green diamonds to recharge your dashes?

[Braden]

I just tested it, the gems remain collected. Sigh of relief.

[Braden]

Do I have to collect every single gem in one run or can I do them separately? Doing the whole level again--and especially re-doing the gem parts that I already did--would be a pain in the ass, so it would be nice to know.

[ZlatanTheCrow]

How do you climb that part on the 20th flag? The one that has the green diamonds above the other?
