Jikai Shounen Mettomag/Levels 1 - 10

Level 1

1. Level 1 does a good job introducing you to most of the basics. Start by jumping up and collecting the North ball nearby. Then use your jumping skills to reach the block above the floor, and over to the platform beyond. You'll need to jump near the edge of the block to make it.
2. Use the blue up arrow to leap over the column, and collect the Reverse ball to the right. Then use the up red arrow to leap over the next column. Because their are two arrows, you'll have to bounce off them to leap over the column. Merely walking on them will simply suspend you in mid-air.
3. Jump off the next red up arrow and up to the blue down arrow to reach the next ledge. Before you reach the teleporter, you will have to leap over the blue up arrow, because walking on it will attract you down, and prevent you from reaching the top of the next block. Head into the teleporter.
4. After you arrive, drop down to the floor. While you are red, you will attract the blue block. Jump up to collect the North ball. Now you will repel the blue block. You must push it to the right and use it to jump back and forth up the set of blocks to reach the red down arrows to the right.
5. While blue, the double red down arrows will let you cross over the floor to the right while staying suspended in the air over the first enemy. You will have to deal with the next enemy, which shoots at you. Collect the bonus item, and then use the enemy as a block to reach the platform to the right. Leap up and over the blue double left arrows to collect the South ball.
6. Drop down and collect the timer reset item before hopping on the horizontal platform and riding it over to the ledge on the right. Then wait for the vertical platform to drop down, jump on top of it, and ride it to the top. When you reach the red left arrow and the blue double right arrows, push to the right in order to avoid getting knocked off the platform. Then jump in the exit.

Level 2

1. Start by immediately collecting the Reverse ball and switching to blue polarity. Then use the blue up arrow to leap over the column.
2. Drop down and collect the South ball below you. Then cross below the blue down arrow, and over to the red up arrow to the right. Jump up and allow yourself to be repelled to the left by the red left arrow.
3. Run all the way to the left, and jump up to the platform with the red up arrow below the North ball. Use the arrow to jump up and collect the ball. Then use the blue up arrow to the right to jump up and collect the bonus item, and leap over the column to the right.
4. You can either jump across the gap, or fall down into the blue up arrow below and leap up and over once more. As you fall, push right so that you land on top of the red left arrow. Fall down to the floor below and collect the North ball.
5. From there, run to the right and jump over the obstacles until you are standing below the vertical platform. Collect the Reverse ball below the floor. Then use the red up arrow to jump out and to the left. Wait for the vertical platform to return.
6. Ride the platform to the top of the stage, and depart to the left. Keep going left until you can fall down and collect the North ball on the way. Then return to the place below the vertical platform, but leap over the gap and fall down on to the red up arrow to the right.
7. Collect the Reverse ball to become red once more and use the red up arrow to leap out of the pit. Jump on the vertical platform to get a lift to the exit. It is optional, but if you like, you can ride the platform all the way to the top and jump off to the right to collect the bonus item as well.

Level 3

1. Start by immediately collecting the Reverse ball and switching to blue polarity. Then use the blue up arrow to leap over the wall. Do not collect the Reverse ball immediately below.
2. Drop down to the floor but avoid collecting the nearby Reverse ball. Instead, continue right, and jump off the blue up arrow, and head left to collect the Reverse ball waiting above a blue down arrow.
3. One your way back, collect the South ball to the right, which will keep you red, and then return to the left to collect the Reverse ball that you skipped. Now that you are blue again, use the blue up arrow to jump up and reach the red double down arrows above the floor. Cross above the wandering enemy to the right.
4. Jump onto the blue double up arrows to leap over the column, and collect the South ball on the floor. While you are red, you can walk right across the gap and straight on into the teleporter.
5. After you arrive, collect the Reverse ball above the blue up arrow, and use the arrow to leap up to the left. You will see a timer reset item, but you have to be red to reach it. It's generally not worth the effort. Continue to the left.
6. Collect the South ball to the left of the red up arrow, and then jump off the arrow to reach the block above. Jump across the gap to collect the bonus item, and then fall down and run to the left. Jump off the next red up arrow to collect the North ball, and then jump off the blue up arrow to leap over the column and on to the exit.

Level 4

1. This stage introduces the deadly floating enemy. It will fly over to the right and bounce its way into the crevice where you start. Start by jumping up and collecting the North ball to the left, and then return to the right and collect the Reverse ball to return red.
2. Use the red double up arrows to leap up to the platform with the exit. In order to do this right and not get suspended in the air, you must jump up and begin dropping back down before you move over the arrows. This will boost you up and you can continue to the left. If you jump just right, you can collect the extra life near the ceiling, but it's very difficult.
3. Stay high, and fall down into the area that contains a Reverse ball above a red up arrow. Use the arrow to collect it and fall down to the floor to the left. Wait for the vertical platform to drop down, and then jump on top of it.
4. While the platform is rising, jump over to the right and collect the North ball. Then continue riding the platform up to the top. Get off and run across the top, and leap over to the right to collect the South ball.
5. Now fall to the floor all the way to the right. While waiting for the nearby vertical platform, you can collect a bonus item in the lower right corner. Ride the platform up, and use it to jump into the crevice where you began. Then jump off the red double up arrows once more to reach the exit.

Level 5

1. There are two ways to approach this level. One is if you stay off the floor, and the other is if you start by landing on the floor. Staying off the floor is a much fast approach, so from the starting point, run right, and jump off at the last second. Keep pushing right as you fall through the air, and you should land on the platform below the North ball.
2. From there, carefully jump to the tops of each block to the right of you. When you have made it just past the second Reverse ball, start leaping towards the balls to the left. You will collect both Reverse balls and the North ball, and the exit will open.
3. Now fall down to the ground. If you like, there are three bonus items all the way to the left, but you will be forced to run into the enemy a couple of times in order to collect them. Then run to the right.
4. Jump up the stairs and prepare yourself. You are safe to fall down on top of any arrow that is the same color as you (in this case, blue) but you will become stuck if you fall onto any arrow that is the same color, forcing you to end your life by pressing + and start over. Carefully make your way to the right.
5. As you continue to the right, the next enemy will fire at you periodically. You can either push yourself to the right and take the hit, or simply duck down into a space above a blue colored arrow and let the projectile pass over your head.
6. When you are close enough to ride the vertical platform, wait for it on top of the enemy, and jump on board when it arrives. In order to reach the exit, you must ride the platform nearly to the top, and jump off very late. Jump to the left and sail through the air to land on the platform just below the exit, and then hop in.

Bonus 1

In the bonus stage, your only goal is collect as many of the diamonds as you can and escape through the exit before the enemy below pushes the block all the way to the right and blocks the exit. You will receive 5000 points for every diamond you collect, plus an additional 100,000 point bonus if you manage to collect every diamond in the stage before you escape. In this bonus stage, you must use the red up arrows as a launch point that will send you high enough to jump up and reach the diamonds to the left and to the right.

Level 6

1. When this level starts, all of the magnet orbs are within your reach. Just fall down one block at a time and collect the North ball, and the two Reverse balls. You should end up with the blue polarity.
2. Run to the left, below all of the red up arrows and over to the blue up arrows. You will see a thunder cloud that floats up and down, dropping lightning bolts. You must do your best to avoid them. Use the blue up arrows to launch yourself to the top of the screen.
3. From the top, run to the right, drop down as the enemy on the platform below is headed to the left, and then drop down to the exit below.

• Optionally, you may choose to collect the two bonus items and the extra life item, but the will put you at considerable risk of harm. After you collect the extra life item, you will have to get the enemy on the floor to pass beneath you while you jump up in the small space provided for you, and then avoid the lightning from the cloud as you attempt to climb up the arrows again.

Level 7

1. Wait for the vertical platform to drop back down to the floor and pick you up. Ride it up to the small column of blocks at the top. Jump onto the column and continue to jump to the platform on the right.
2. You must be very careful not to fall onto any of the blue arrows or you will become stuck and have to press + to start over. Keep leaping over the arrows even as the enemy ahead shoots at you. You can safely fall onto the third arrow and drop down to the platform below.
3. Continue right, and jump over the enemy patrolling the platform ahead. Leap over the small gap and collect the North ball by the wall. Then drop down to the floor and walk all the way back to the vertical platform to the left. Ride it up to the column again and proceed to the right once more.
4. Now you don't have to worry as much about falling on the blue arrows. From the third blue arrow, leap over the gap to the next blue arrow to the right. Watching out for the enemy, use that arrow to leap up to the ledge above and collect the Reverse ball. Optionally, you can ride on top of the enemy to reach the bonus items to the right, and then drop down to collect the timer reset item, but you will get hit a lot.
5. Once you've collected the final ball, you can drop down to the floor and head back to the vertical platform on the left. Ride it one more time to get high enough to leap over to the exit.

Level 8

1. There are only two magnet orbs to collect in this stage, but there is an additional challenge. The only way to reach the exit is to push or pull a magnetic block all the way across the top of the stage and into position so that you can use it to leap up to the exit. You'll have to start by dropping down to the floor and interrupting the progress of one of the platforms so that you split them apart and can jump onto one of them.
2. Ride one up high enough to collect the North ball nearby. Then ride the left platform up to the top so that you can jump on top of the block and collect the bonus item to the left. Return to the platform and start allowing the block to follow you on to the platforms. It is important to ensure that the block stays above the platforms and does not fall to the floor. Eventually, you should be able to lure it onto the ledge to the right.
3. As you continue to the right, make sure that the block stays close behind you. When the next platform drops below you, lure the block as far as you can to the edge of the ledge, and fall down to the floor. When the platform climbs back up, it should lift the block up with it. Continue to the right.
4. Ride one of the next platforms up, and feel free to collect the bonus item to the left, but do not collect the Reverse ball on the right just yet. Instead, ride the platforms up to the top and head left. You must now attract the block over to the ledge you are standing on. When it is completely over, lure the block to the right up to the two vertical platforms.
5. Now drop down and collect the Reverse ball. You will now be the red South polarity, and you will repel the block. As you ride back up the vertical platforms, leap over the block as early as possible to prevent it from getting pushed into a corner. Now carefully push it to the right onto the platforms. Once again, be very careful not to allow the block to fall to the floor.
6. Once you get the block across the gap and onto the platform to the right, push it just far enough so that you can use it as a ledge to reach the exit. Then jump on top of it and over to the exit. There is a bonus item on the floor that will generally take more time to collect than its worth in bonus points.

Level 9

1. Immediately collect the South ball to your left when you begin. Then run to the right and jump off the red up arrow to the blocks above, and jump on top of the blue down arrow. Leap up to the right and collect the Reverse ball.
2. Now head left, staying up on top of the ledges, over the red double up arrows, and above the red down arrow, and fall down to the pit below to collect an extra life item. Use the sides of the pit to jump all the way up to the ceiling, and then over to the right to collect the bonus item.
3. Return to the ledge that you just came from, and drop down any of the gaps to return to the starting location of the stage. Proceed to the right, and collect the bonus item to the right of the red double up arrows. Drop down to the red up arrow on the floor, but do not collect the nearby Reverse ball.
4. Instead, walk along the floor to the left. Jump up over the last blue up arrow to collect the North ball, and then return to the right. Now collect the Reverse ball and use the red up arrow to reach the ledge above. Pass through the blue double up arrows and drop down to the floor to collect the last Reverse ball. Then use the blue up arrow to jump up and reach the exit.

Level 10

1. This level can be especially tricky, given how many double up arrows there are, and how you are likely to get suspended in mid-air if you make the wrong move. There are two bonus items on the right hand portion of the stage that are better left ignored due to the difficult situation that collecting them can put you in.
2. Start by jumping up and over to the right, and leap over the next gap. Fall down to collect the Reverse ball and turn yourself blue. Then use the two blue up arrows to return yourself to the top of the stage and back to where you started.
3. Fall down and collect the next Reverse ball right below the exit. Now fall down the left gap (to the right of the high red double up arrows), and land on the platform just above the floor. You'll need to be careful when you use the red double up arrows in order to reach the South ball at the top. Before you move over the arrows, be sure to jump immediately before hand. This should allow you to land back down and jump off the arrows again. If you don't time it correctly, you will end up suspended in mid air, and you'll need to press + to start over.
4. Bounce off the low red double up arrows, and then the high arrows to reach the South ball at the top. Fall down the gap to the left, and prepare to fall down to the low red double arrows below. Be sure to push left as you fall, or you will become stuck. Once you are at the bottom, continue left to collect the North ball.
5. Once you collect the last ball, you can head to the right, and use the two blue up arrows that you used previously to return to the top of the screen and reach the exit.

Bonus 2

As difficult as it may seem, you can collect every diamond in this stage and make it out before the timer runs out. The best approach is to immediately jump up the steps, and collect the two top diamonds to the left, then proceed to collect all of the remaining diamonds along the top. Then drop down the stairs and run to the left to collect all of the diamonds that you past on the floor. Once you grab the left most diamond, quickly return to the left, collect the remaining diamonds, and drop down to the exit just before the enemy pushes the block in place.
