| 5 |--| Items |
'---' '-------'
Most items are found inside "?" blocks. Jump under the box to release
the item. There are also some hidden boxes which are solid but invisible
until you bump them, but they won't release any item. There are some wooden
boxes that will contain a random number of coins, and others that will
contain nothing. Wooden boxes with nothing inside can be destroyed by
jumping under them when "BigTux", or when throwing "Mr. IceBlock".
- Coin
Most abundant item. The only item which can also be found out of boxes.
Each 100 coins collected will give you an extra life.
- Egg (looks like a snowball)
Only available when "Small Bob", will transform the hero into
"Bob".
- FireFlower
Only available when not "Small Bob", will transform the hero into
"Flame Bob".
- Star
Gives temporary invincibility.
- Little penguin
Gives an extra life.
Note: In this guide, I will use "BigTux" when something is available for
both "Bob" and "Flame Bob".

| 6 |--| Enemies |
'---' '---------'
All enemies will hurt you if you touch them. If you are "Flame Bob" and
touch an enemy, you will be transformed into "Bob". If you are
"Bob" and touch an enemy, you will be transformed into "Small Bob". In
both cases, you will have some seconds of invincibility (during this time,
Tux will be flashing). You will die if you are "Small Bob" and touch any
enemy.
You will also die if you touch the bottom edge of level.
All enemies will die if hit by "Mr. Bomb" explosion, by "Mr. IceBlock"
or by "fireball". Most will die when Tux jump on them. If there is an enemy
over a block, it will die if you jump under the block.
- Mr. Snowball
Walks left or right.
- Bouncing Snowball
Keeps jumping (or bouncing) while moving left or right.
- Flying Snowball
Moves up and down in mid-air.
- Mr. Bomb
Walks left or right. If Tux jumps on "Mr. Bomb", it will explode after
some seconds.
- Mr. IceBlock
Walks left or right. If Tux jumps on "Mr. IceBlock", Tux can carry and
throw it. "Mr. IceBlock" will die if Tux jumps on it about 10 times.
- Fish
Goes up and down from water.
- Spiky
Walks left or right. Tux can't touch "Spiky".
- Jumpy Spiky
Keeps jumping up and down. Tux can't touch "Jumpy Spiky".
There are also two "bad things" that aren't really enemies, but can
hurt Tux:
- Stalactite
Will fall from ceiling when Tux is near. It will kill any enemy just
under it. After touching floor, it is destroyed.
- Flame
A little fireball moving in a circle. Can't be destroyed.

| 7 |--| Levels |
'---' '--------'
Below is a list of secrets of each level. Secrets are things you don't
see, but hide items or paths. Some useful tips are also described for some
levels.
.--------------------.
| World1 - Icyisland |
'--------------------'
1. Welcome to Antarctica
- Just before finish line, there are 7 coins placed like an arrow pointing
to left. Follow the arrow and you will find 10 coins inside the wall
just below the "Jumpy Spiky".
4. Tobgle Road
- After 4 groups of 2 "?" blocks and 2 wooden boxes, there will be 2
"Jumpy Spiky" and 6 coins. Don't get the coins and go inside the wall
under them. There is a block with an extra life below the last coin.
7. Oh no! More Snowballs!
- Just after 4 little snow platforms with 2 coins between them, there is a
hidden path inside the wall with a fish. Run inside it to land on a
platform. The last "?" block of that platform contains an extra life.
8. Stone Cold
- At start of level, just after 3 "?" blocks, you will find a very high
platform with lots os coins. There are two hidden blocks nearby (before
the platforms) that will allow you to reach those coins.
9. Grumbel's Sense of Snow
- When you find some type of "bridge" with some floating blocks above it,
jump on those blocks and keep always going near the sky. After you find
two "?" blocks and a "Mr. Snowball", do a running jump onto a platform
with 6 coins. Do a running jump again and you will find 20 coins and an
extra life.
10. 23rd Airborne
- At start of level, go back and you will find an "egg" or "fireflower"
inside the wall.
- After 3 pipes with "Jumpy Spiky", one another "Jumpy Spiky" and two "Mr.
IceBlock", there is a hidden path inside the wall with 48 coins.
11. Night Chill
- At start of level, there is a hidden block that allows you to reach the
"?" block.
- After a very tall snow hill, there will be 6 wide platforms, with 6 "?"
blocks. At right of last "?" block, there are 2 hidden blocks. Use them
to do a running jump to a platform with 9 coins. Do another running jump
to find an extra life.
14. Entrance to the Cave
- There is a hidden path inside a very tall wall with 2 floating blocks.
15. Under the Ice
- At start of level, go one step down, then go left. This is a hidden path
with 30 coins, only available when "Small Bob".
- When you find 5 wooden boxes, 2 of them will contain coins. In addition,
there is an extra life just above them.
17. '...or is it just me?'
- At start of level, there is a hidden block. Inside the wall near this
block there is one "egg" or "fireflower".
18. Ice in the Hole
- At start of level, go back, inside the wall. Climb it, and jump over the
top edge of level. Go right until you fall. There will be 1 extra life
and 1 "egg" or "fireflower" there.
- there is a hidden "star" inside the wall just above the first pipe, near
1 "?" block and some "Mr. IceBlock".
- After 2 pipes with 5 coins, there will be a single block on floor, under
a hole in ceiling. There are 2 hidden blocks above it.
20. End of the Tunnel
- Go under the third wooden platform. If you are "BigTux", you can get 21
coins and one life. If you are "Small Bob", you can get only 9 coins.
- After 4 "?" blocks and a "Bouncing Snowball" on a ladder, go down. There
are hidden blocks creating an invisible floor. Inside the wall under the
ladder there is 1 extra life.
21. A Path in the Clouds
- On second ice column, you can fall and do a running jump to find an
extra life.
- You can stand on all high clouds after the second.
- If you walk above the top edge of level, you will eventually find 183
coins almost at end of level.
22. No more Mr Ice Guy
- Under third suspended platform, there are two fishes. The left one hides
one invincibility and does have some hidden blocks below it (so, it is
safe to stand under it). The right one is a hidden block to help you.
23. The Escape
- You can stand on two clouds just after 5 "?" blocks, 3 "Mr. IceBlock"
and lots of coins in lower platform.
24. The Shattered Bridge
- After one very tall pipe, there is a hidden passage under the next
bridge, exactly at water level. It will lead to 22 coins and 1 extra
life.
25. Arctic Ruins
- There are some hidden blocks to help you reach higher platforms.
- There is a hidden path inside some blocks, at right of a "?" block, near
a "Bouncing Snowball".
26. The Castle of Nolok
- No secrets in the last level of World1. Good luck!
The next table lists the width, the maximum time, the number of coins
outside blocks, the number of hidden blocks and the number of extra lives
in each level. Note, however, that not always is possible to get all coins
or items of a level. Sometimes you must make a choice and leave some of
them behind.
