In the room in the shadow palace, where there is a message on the wall..

If you look at the sign and use Goombella's tattle she will point out that "beyond" refers to the block "beyond" the sign and likewise "before" refers to the one "before" it. You have to hit the blocks in the right order for the right number of times so "beyond, beyond, beyond, before, before" means hit the one on the left ("beyond" the sign) three times, then hit the one on the right("before") twice.

Ok, in the room with seven blocks with stars above the blocks in a row, from right to left, hit the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh blocks in order. If you did it correctly, head to the room with the big brown wheel, it'll be moving now. Then, ride the wheel to the other side. You'll be able to get to the next room past the set of stairs(Use Flurrie to blow paper away in the next room to see a big gray block you can break. Then spin jump through the wood, and when you hit the spring, try to go to the left to get a point swap(I think that item isn't useful)).

No there is only 2 blocks with ''!'' on them. What do I do???

Oh, uh sorry, I thought it was the part about what I said. Sorry. I didn't know what you were talking about, that was the only thing I thought that had to do with the number seven. Could you tell me what you are talking about?

Beyond means the block far away from the door and before means the block close to the door.Then you hit the"Beyond" block three times FIRST and hit the "Before" block two times SECOND.
