Puzzles

Puzzle Rooms are unlockable puzzles scattered around the island. They always contain at least one Treasure Chest and sometimes contain other important items, such as Power Crystals.

Some rooms require the player to possess a specific star fragment from Kiki and Lala in order to open the room. The star fragments are acquired by completing various quests from "The Island Mystery". The possible star fragments are as follows: Bog Star Fragment, Rainbow Reef Star Fragment, Gemstone Mountain Star Fragment, and Mount Hothead Star Fragment.

Solving Puzzles

Puzzle rooms usually require reaching the treasure or goal by pressing buttons and the use of blocks. Buttons are often in the form of button tiles that activate when stood upon or when they have a block placed upon them.

There are currently the following types of puzzle blocks:

Lift blocks are used for floor button activation. (Other blocks can also activate floor buttons.)
Thermal blocks create an upward draft when activated. With Balloons, they are used to float to higher locations.
Lilypad blocks create a platform at least one level above them. The platforms can be walked across and used to place other blocks.
Cloud blocks create platforms a set distance in front of them. The platforms work the same as the lilypad platforms.
Electric blocks can carry a current radiating from other activated electric blocks, allowing the current to reach even further. Currents can be carried slightly above or below the visible current radius.

Some puzzle rooms also require some elements of platform gaming, such as jumping from one platform to another, climbing, or moving quickly across floor blocks that disappear soon after being touched.
