Atlantis? No, Nazo!

And so the adventure begins! Start by traveling to the right, as you do, while dodging the bats and their anti-explorer technologies.

You will want to jump over the first door you encounter and enter the 2nd door by dropping a bomb on it to unlock it. Do the same to open all doors in the game.

Welcome to one of the easiest rooms in the game. It only consists of two treasure chests worth 50,000 each. I would recommend grabbing easy chests along the way as scoring higher points will yield more extra lives you can use for the Final Zone.

The secret to jumping out of a spot like this is to do a walking jump, it will increase the height of your jump by quite a bit. Even if its just enough space for a step or two, that's all you need to trigger the high jump to reach tall places.

As you can see there are no other doors in this room to enter. You could go back to the previous stage and continue wondering around aimlessly or hear me out on this, blow yourself up with a bomb on top of the right most chest to reach a secret warp. Diabolical secrets such as this are littered throughout the game!

This warp will take us more than halfway through the game, very convenient.
