Collecting all three moon crystals in each level is key to unlocking the complete story. A true challenge awaits those aiming for a perfect run, requiring boss defeats without taking any damage to obtain all 72 crystals. Expect tricky encounters, such as the red ghost that can reappear after seeming to vanish.
The game boasts varied environments, including aquatic levels where players must navigate as shadows, encountering unique and whimsical fish bosses.
