Crystal Caves/Gemstone Mines Map!

I created this guide of the Crystal Caves map because every guide I googled was for the mobile version of Hello Kitty Island Adventure! Turns out- either A. two different maps between mobile and steam or B. every guide I found was outdated.

So anyway- if you want to know how to access every room in the mines, look no further!

Key:

• The puzzle pieces represent the temple/puzzle rooms.
  
• X's are for dead end rooms (chests inside!).
  
• Exit signs take you out of the mines.

Note that some areas are only accessible after completing the quests: Magic Bubble Wand, Revive The Oasis, Fire Up The Volcano or once you have obtained both the bubble wand and pickaxe .

The Map!

I pieced together 4 screenshots for this since the PC version won't let you view the entire map at once. I started my guide from the top right corner, so the minecart is going south in my example.

Maximize efficient fizzy ore collection!

To collect fizzy ore in the most efficient way (i.e. one run through) spend your first run on the track starting at the top right section of the map.
1. Go left at every turn, collecting ore as you go
2. Once you've looped, continue to select 'left' until after you've gone up the big spiral (note: this takes a while)
3. Go right near the big blue crystal and collect the last bits of fizzy ore

Proof that there are no doors where the (maybe?) old version has doors!!!

I climbed and brute forced all the way around the cave walls to make extra double triple sure that the two maps are actually different. There are no chests/loot to find over there even though it is possible to get up there. Don't waste your time!

For comparison, I found this older guide here:
