The First collectable is the heart container, found in the first pool of water you come across, use either mermaid or Crab Transformation to access this.


The second collectable is the Green Stone, (used for turning green gems into magic bottles) it is found in the second pool of water, use either mermaid or Crab Transformation to access this.


The third collectable is the vorpal blade (quest item), it is found in the third pool of water, use mermaid Transformation to access this.


The Fourth collectable is the the waterfall relic which lets you travel up water falls, when you first enter the burning part of town, fly up using the harpy and the chest will be there.

The Fifth collectable is the the Health certificate (Quest Item) Talk to the chef standing on top of the wooden platforms and she will give you the details on obtaining this item


The Sixth collectable is the Monkey Bullet, it is found over the wall right of the flight of stairs, over the wall will be a portal which will send you to the item, use either monkey or Harpy to access this.


The Seventh collectable is the second Heart container, it is found in through a gap in the wall next to the flight of stairs, use Monkey Transformation to access this.


The final collectable is the scrap metal, hidden under a flower right here.
Mermaid Falls
Sunken Souls!

In the second body of water to the far left


This sunken soul is located down and to the right of the pervious one. Use mermaid bubble power up to break through this block.


use the crab claw powerup to access this.


Use mermaid or crab to get to this soul.

Other stuff
To the far right of the map is a pipe. Inside is a waterfall, which leads to a chest. Use the waterfall relic to climb the water fall and access the chest which contains a Heart container.


The Harpy talon can be found by traveling up this water fall to the room up above. This can be done by having the waterfall relic and being ethier the Crab or Mermaid.


Grab yourself the mermaid power up and drop down the puddle on the left of the furthest right water fall, then swim through the opening and boom, you have yourself another gallery key!

So, to the right of this mish mash of girders is a gallery key, you're going to need the elephant dance and ground smash ability though!


A piece of metal is hidden under this flower, how sneaky!


To obtain the heart container and Key, you must get to the top right of the map, then use the bat transformation to get through the hole to access the small room, then use the mouse transformation to enter the maze, you will reach the gallery key first and the heart container second.
Tassel Town
Hop into the water, there is a sunken soul right here!

See those floating pots? In the pool below is a hidden soul! All you need to get to it is the mermaid dance and her bubble shoot

Use the Elephant's stomp to break the block, underneath is a soul and a broken pipe that leads to the iron slab (quest item)


The genealogy guy gives you the Elephant Stomp when you first talk to him (inside Tassel Tower, after you defeat the Giant Worm). Use the Elephant Stomp on flowers to uncover items.






The genealogy guy wants 5 remains, which are hidden under flowers in 5 secret rooms, these rooms are accessable by smashing the statue heads. those are locations of the rooms.


Behind this block is a chest with a gallery key, you can access it by using the elephant's charge attack.


This Chest contains a gallery key, you can access it using the mouse and crawling through the tiny chute.

Behind this this statue is a chest with a heart container, but it is blocked off by a tiny labyrinth. in order to navigate this you will need the mouse transformation.


Remember that seeming useless block at the top of Tassle Tower? Well it's actually not! You have to push the block down the tower, slide it next to one of the statues, and then smash through it with the Elephant! it will lead you to this fun little puzzle room

Push the blocks together to form a functioning labyrinth. Once you have built the labyrinth use the mouse transformation to reach the chest. The chest contains a Gallery key.


This chest contains a gallery key, you can access it using the spider, bat or even the monkey if you're skillful enough.


This Chest contains a Heart container, access it using the spider's ceiling climb ability.
The Caped Crustacean
Through the first door in Ammo baron's flying ships is a Gallery Key, you will need to use the Elephant's stomp to access it though.


Through the second door that you come across is another Gallery Key, nothing special needed here.


Through the Third door that you come across is a Heart container, Use the crab transformation and when the laser are about to shoot, duck to sheild yourself from the lasers, repeat till you reach the chest. use the invincibility shield (which can be bought from the item shop, after you have bought both bubble and mirror shield) Credit goes to Stephen Alzis for this one

This little area is pretty close to the entrance of the final ship, so you won't miss it! Don't forget to have the harpy though!

Completing this small puzzle will get you access to another room in which you will need to use the monkey bullet. at the end you'll get a heart canister!

Scrap location here

You'll need bat sona for this little puzzle, otherwise you won't be able to see that small circle of light around you!

To complete this puzzle you need the water fall relic (which can be found on main street)

You missed a heart container in tassel town. It's at the very top of the tower, above the spike walls, and requires the harpy transformation.

There's one Sunken Soul missing in the Mermaid Falls section. It's in the factory section. Enter the water right after a flower. Go down and to the right, then use your mermaid bubble attack to break the rock blocking the path. https://imgur.com/a/frZbE

Thanks for reminding me! The Caped Crustacean should be complete now.

You are missing 1 more Heart canister in The Caped Crustacean, the scrap, red stone and another object

Yo, I updated the guide for the items you were talking about, apart from the heat container, I think to find it you might need to use the harpy to fly to the top of area 2 in mermaid falls. there should be a cave entrance with a puzzle you have to navigate, you'll need the spider, harpy and bat dances to get through it though. At the end is a chest but ive forgotten what is inside.

in mermaid falls, I've collected all of the things you mentioned, (plus a piece of scrap metal at the start of the level), but there are still things missing (a heart container, scrap metal, and a gallery key), are you sure you mentioned everything (I don't know where these are, unfortunately, but I felt if you find out it would be useful to others)? otherwise the guide has been very helpful
