Extra Life

There is a hidden extra life in the area where you must chase two thieves to get dragon eggs. To find it, look for the red-colored rock that's partially cracked. Run into this rock with the speed you gain from a supercharge ramp to break it open and get an extra life.

There are many gems in lava pool that surrounds the level exit. When you first enter this area, glide to the right to reach a platform with an enemy and some gems. From here you can glide to another platform where there is an Extra Life and an enemy. From here, if you look carefully, you’ll spot a single gem on a landing at the edge of the lava pool. Glide there and get it!!!!


In the turbo ramp area there is a box that can only be destroyed if you supercharge into it. This box is initially behind a cracked wall that can be broken by charging into it. The indestructible box contains 24 gems.
