To open each world within Gruntilda's Lair, you must first gather enough Jiggys to complete the puzzle picture of that world. In this case, you'll find a Jiggy to your left as soon as you enter the witch's haven. Take it outside, stand on the Jiggy shaped platform in front of the puzzle and press A or Z. The Jiggy will be placed in the puzzle, completing the picture and opening the entrance to Mumbo's Mountain.
Fill in the Treasure Trove Cove puzzle with two jigsaw pieces to open up the giant treasure chest. Once it's open, you'll be able to jump into it to spend a day at the beach. But before you can soak up the rays, be sure you've collected at least 50 notes and opened the 50-Note Door so you can reach the puzzle. To reach the chest, go up the sloping bridge in the witch's lair and downstream to the tunnel on the right.
In the outer chamber of Gruntilda's Lair, where a giant picture of Gruntilda uglifies the floor, you'll find a Shock Jump Pad on one side. Use the pad to leap on to a ledge with the unfinished puzzle of Clanker's Cavern. Fill in the five missing pieces, then go to the chamber with the big pipes. Climb onto the outflow pipe and Flap Flip Jump into the open pipe above. In the watery chamber beyond, hit the blue pipe switch to the right of the entrance, then Double Jump across the water to the far ledge. The forbidding open pipe leads to Clanker's Cavern. Take a deep breath.
There are three switches you'll have to Beak Bust in order to raise the pipes and open the drain leading to the Bubblegloop Swamp puzzle picture. Seven puzzle pieces open the door on the hut-shaped entrance connected to the marsh. Before you go running off to explore this new area, check your note count and make sure you have at least 180 notes to open the next Note Door.
You'll need eight puzzle pieces to complete the picture that opens Freezeezy Peak. You'll find teh picture at the end of the drain pipe behind the entrance to Bubblegloop Swamp. You can get there by using the Wading Boots, but you'll find the going much easier if you've turned into a gator. If you have collected at least 260 notes, you'll find the entrance to the right of the green-eyed witch statue in Gruntilda's Lair.
Gobi's Valley is located just past the 260-Note Door, but the puzzle that unlocks it is behind the 350-Note Door, so you'll have your work cut out for you. Once the puzzle is complete and the way is clear, come back to the lobby near Gobi's Valley. Check a side chamber for a pair of Wading Boots. These will protect you from the stinging sand that surrounds the entrance to the valley. Hot foot it over the gritty "moat" before your boots fade away.
You'll have to wander pretty far afield to find the picture of Mad Monster Mansion. From the cobwebbed lobby just outside Freezeezy Peak, climb up the sloping ramp to find a 450-Note Door. Swim through a system of tunnels to a flooded chamber. Make your way around the perimeter of the room, jumping from alcove to alcove, until you reach the puzzle. After you've completed it, ruturn to the lobby where you started ane walk into Gruntilda's Open mouth. Walk up the slope past the picture of Gobi's Valley to find the entrance to Mad Monster Mansion.
Break down the iron gate next to Mad Monster Mansion's entrance, then, as a pumpkin, enter the crypt at the bottom of the fenced-off area. Inside, transform back into a bear so you can smash open the coffin. After you've activated the entombed switch to raise the water level at the bay's entrance, swim to the newly-flooded area to pound the Rare crate and the switch beneath it. Once the water level has risen, swim to the cave kitty-corner from you to find the puzzle.
Enter the 640-Note Door, then shroud yourself with the Wonderwing as you run through the tunnel of lashing tree branches. Head for the side of the pasture where the blue ox grazes, then hop up the leaves on the nearby tree. Follow the branch's path th the other side, shere you'll find a switch. Stomp on it to make puzzle piece platform appear in front of Click Clock Wood's puzzle, then journey back to the area in front of the 180-Note Door. If you swim through the pool that the waterfall spills into, you'll emerge in the puzzle's cove.
In the meadow leading to the entrance of Click Clock Wood grows a tree that shades the grazing bull. Hop up that tree's leaves to reach a 765-Note Door, but don't enter it unless you have explored all nine worlds and taken notes on all the dirt Brentilda has dished out about her sister. Beyond the door Gruntilda will test you with physical challenges and trivia about your experience through her supernatural lands. Incorrectly answering her questions will cost one Honeycomb Energy, and losing some challenges will even result in a plunge into the lava. As you journey step by step across the
