The very first thing you'll likely see in this level is a locked Treasure Chest. Thankfully, Moneybags is right next to it, so you can buy a key pretty easily. The Chest holds a Light Gem; get it, then buy a replacement key.
next, take out the Gnorc on patrol, and cross the bridge into the small room. there's a switch on the floor which will open the door ahead of you, and another switch
on the wall behind you.
Hit it and watch the cutscene of the two propellers turning over to reveal two more switches, then head on through the door. Let me
warn you right now: this is a floating level, so I'm going to say "platform" a
lot. :D
Ahead of you, you'll find two linked platforms floating back and forth. Hop onto the first one, zap the floating Gnorc that's above it, and hop to the next. Zap this Gnorc (use a Secondary breath weapon if you have to), and fly across the gap to where a Dark Gem awaits.
Smashing it reboots a whirlwind generator; glide over there and light the firework on the edge for some Fire Bomb ammo. Go up the whirlwind to find some fodder, three Strong Chests, a
large Gnorc, and two small Gnorcs guarding a Light Gem. Zap the three Gnorcs, grab the Light Gem and any fodder you might need, and cross the gap to where
Moneybags Portal awaits.
Walk around the back of this building to find the Professor waiting with a Supercharge Portal; if you've gotten 40 Light Gems by now you can use it to open the Strong Door on the next island (which encloses a locked Treasure Chest with a Dragon's Egg inside),
and the Strong Chests on the island you came over
here from. If not, just turn around to find a switch on the back wall of the building; press it to open the door to where the slightly senile Elder Titan waits to teach you Wing Shield.
When he's done talking, go through the next door, up the steps, and across the small gap to grab a Dragon's Egg. Use your new ability to deflect the boomerang back at the floating Gnorc, and cross the platforms behind him for a Light Gem.
Head back to the beginning of the level.
Once you get there, turn around and face back into the level. The two switches here do pretty much the same thing: lower floating platforms. However, they each lead to very different places.
The left-hand switch lowers a platform leading to a path which curves back on itself. Cross the new platform and glide past the Gnorc with wings (he'll just watch you do this), and take out the armored Gnorc on the next platform.
There's a small hovering Gnorc between you and the next
building, but he's out of range. He'll breathe fire at you if you stand still too long, so jump and glide past him, into the building.
There's a Treasure Chest which holds a Dragon's Egg in here, and a headbash switch out the other side. This switch
lowers another hovering platform, from which you can jump to a small moving platform.
Jump on the next platform, with the basket in the middle, and use
Electric Breath to zap the hovering Gnorc ahead of you. Jump to the moving platform he was guarding, and off the other side to yet another stationary one.
Zap the little Gnorc before he can breathe fire at you, and jump and glide to the light blue platform he was in front of. Don't stay here too long, as once you've touched each ring of this type of platform, it'll vanish.
Jump to the next building, head on through it, and set off the firework for a few gems. Jump and glide into the gems ahead of you to reach the next floating platform, and grab the Light Gem above it once you get there.
Jump down to the platformbelow you, which is one of the first two you started this path on, and get back to the bridge from the beginning.
The other switch, on the right, leads to a fork in the road. The right-hand fork will lead across a number of small solid platforms and several vanishing ones to a Light Gem, while the left fork leads to a medium-sized platform with an elevator built into it.
Hop on the platform, and from there to a vanishing platform with a Dragon's Egg in the middle of it; grab the Egg, and if you can't get back to the elevator, Zoe's right above you, so you won't respawn very far away.
On the opposite side of the elevator from where Zoe hovers lies a pair of small platforms. Jump on one, and it will cause the other to rotate around it, and vice-versa.
Use these to cross the level, toward the low building you can see in the distance. When you get to the building, find and catch the Egg Thief who lives there, then use a second set of rotating platforms to cross a second gap and find Zoe.
Cross the next couple of platforms and go in the building to find an elevator; go on up to find and destroy the next Dark Gem.
This will restore a bridge to the next building along; cross over to it and head up the whirlwind to find Sgt. Byrd anxiously awaiting his next assignment.
Before talking with the intrepid penguin, cross the bridges beside him, and hit the switch beside the next building to lower a platform with a whirlwind on it.
When you get the Wall Kick ability, come back here and head up through the whirlwind for a chance to use it. Glide across the gap between the next two buildings in order to destroy the last Dark Gem on the level.
This will lower a platform-bridge to a Ball Gadget minigame. Fall into the hole in the middle of the roof here, and go out the door to find a switch that will make getting back
here easier.
Clean up anything you haven't done yet, like Sgt. Byrd's level and the Ball Gadget minigame, and head back to Coastal Remains to tackle the Sunken Ruins if you haven't already. Otherwise, go take on Ineptune.
