Cheat Codes/Hints

Access Birdman in Everfrost Island

To open up the Birdman event for Everfrost Island, you must get a medal on all 3 Cannonball Tests.

Birdman star locations

Finding a Birdman star will allow access to the Birdman suit. The screen will turn white after the star is obtained. Note that the Rocket Belt is required to reach all of these locations except for Holiday Island.
  • Holiday Island: Under the natural arch on the beach
  • Cresent Island: In the hidden cove on the beach located between the airport and little village.
  • Little States Island: Center of Central Park in New York.
  • Ever-Frost Island: Deep inside the cave that feeds the smaller waterfall. Go to the end of the cave and change the viewpoint to look downward.

Get the Birdman

To warp to the Birdman stage, fly under the bridge on the first level. Grab the star and you'll be free as a bird. You can also become the birdman by flying to New York (on Little States Island) with the rocketbelt and touching the golden star in Central Park. In Everfrost Island use the rocket belt in the first test, look to your side and you will see waterfalls. Go to the right most waterfall and go to the cavern. Keep going until you see another waterfall, fly down and you will see the star that warps you to the birdman stage.

Hint: Cannonball settings

Use the following settings to reach a landing target on the first shot. Note that small adjustments must be made to get a 25 points rating on each shot. Recalibrate the cannon after every attempt. Trial and error must be used to land optimally for the shots that require less than full power
