higher that you would by double jumping (X, X). Do the rolling jump, then just as 
you touch the ground, press X. You will jump as high as the double jump. After 
double jumping, press Circle rapidly for a longer jump.


Avoid fall damage 
Press Circle to spin kick just before you hit the ground and you will land perfectly 
every time.


Swim faster

the Analog-stick in that direction. By doing this, you will move about twice as fast.


Flying 
In training mode, get Blue Eco to go through a door; instead jump off the 
mountain side with rocks. If done correctly you will be flying until the Blue Eco 
runs out.


Infinite Green Eco 
When fighting rats in Boggy Swamp, do not destroy their nest. They are very easy 
to defeat and give you four pieces of Green Eco each. If you are low on life, 
destroy some rats.


Power Cells 
Go in the Forbidden Jungle and talk to the person that is standing on a bridge. If 
you catch 200 pounds of fish, he will give you a Power Cell and let you ride his 
boat until dark. To get the electricity to work for Sandover Village. go into the 
Forbidden Jungle and go behind the big building. There should be a little building 
on the right. Get on top of it and break the mirror by kicking it in the air. Follow 
the beam to the next pole. Keep on doing this until it is done, then go to the mayor 
for a Power Cell.


Extra Precursor Orbs 
After defeating the giant plant in the Forbidden Jungle, go back and jump on what 
looks like the left eye of the plant. An orb will appear. Grab it and repeat. You 
should be able to get at least four orbs out of it.


Defeating the Giant Plant 
At the Giant Plant in the Forbidden Jungle level, run from the first spike bug until 
the spikes go in, then destroy it. The plant will try to eat you. Dodge it, and it will 
go to sleep. Jump up on the leaves and hit the flower part. Repeat this another two 
times. After he collapses, jump on his head and an orb will appear. Jump on the 
head until no more orbs come out.


Defeating the Klaww 
At the Klaww in the Mountain Pass level, dodge the boulders. The last one he 
throws will contain Blue Eco. Get it, and a bridge will appear. Run to the end, 
dodging the boulders as you go. Get the Yellow Eco at the end, and when he starts 
to make a big boulder, fire away. Keep blasting him until he drops the boulder on 
his head, then run back to the first three platforms and repeat the process another 
two times.


Get to Yellow Sage 
When you get to Gol and Maia's Citadel, free the Blue Sage first and go on the 
Blue Eco platform. Roll, then jump off. You will be able to free the Yellow Sage 
without having to go through the obstacles. Note: This may require some practice 
to avoid falling.


Map translation 
The following message is the code translated from around the outside of the map 
that is included with the game:


"In ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep, the silent giants wait to be awakened. 
Deep will their slumber be, silent their once echoing voices, until the world has no 
memory of their beginnings. In the gloom they will watch, and they will wait. Those 
who go to them for answers will return only with new questions. But these will 
come when silence ends. The one who carries the light will awaken the voices. 
With him one whose fate was twisted toward darkness long ago, in the time before 
time when the light bursts from the earth the answers to the questions will begin. 
But only begin, for still the world will not be ready to learn the truth of its past, or 
the secrets of its future."
