Area 1
For a while, the heroes swim through calm water and dodge spiky shells that appear from above and below. The first Skull Coin can be collected by navigating the current and reaching the area where four spiky shells are located, next to the coin. Afterwards, the heroes can swim along with the current to reach the exit.

Secret area 1

In this secret area, the heroes must ride the giant mosquitoes to reach the Electoon cage. During the flight, they must avoid falling platforms covered with spiky shells, blowfish, and purple Murrays. Once they reach the end, and defeat the four blowfish, the cage can be broken open.
Area 4
Shortly into the area, the heroes will encounter a spider crab. It can be defeated by timing when to go underneath it and hit its bubo. Now the heroes will leave the water for a brief moment. Unusually, a few Lividstones are located in this area. Afterwards, the fourth Skull Coin can be found by going through a hole in the water. The exit is not far from there.

Area 5
The heroes will now have to get past some giant jellyfish in the beginning of this area. The second secret area is located past a small gap and a giant jellyfish. Afterwards, they can continue on to where they need to defeat another spider crab. The fifth Skull Coin is between two blowfish, underneath four spiky shells. The heroes must now avoid being hit by the spiky fish. The sixth Skull Coin and a Flying Punch are to the far right of the spiky fish. A little later, they must swim along the strong current, fighting more spider crabs and blowfish. The Flying Punch can be helpful to defeat the blowfish. The exit is close by.
