Walk down the stairs and swing the second red lantern to grab the [JAPANESE PATTERN] sticker. Hop into the flying machine and use the three sponges to float to the upper right. Keep an eye out for the two prize bubbles: [JAPANESE SUN] and [ORNATE BRIDGE]. When you reach the upper ground, grab the [[LONG VASE] object, and also grab the [WOODEN PAGODA] object that is somewhere in the region of the roof you're close to. Land the flying machine and go to the left to drop down for some exploration.

This will be your transportation to the volcano's interior.

Pop the creature on the right and collect the nearby [SQUARE BLUE BUTTON].

Further below, go past two more creatures until you reach the centipede spikes.  Try to stay in the middle, and use the trampoline when the spikes have only retracted just now. At the top, flip the lever to open the gate and use the newly revealed stairs to board your flying machine.

Fly off to the right and be on the lookout for prize bubbles. Two of them are found by solving a sticker puzzle for which you don't have the needed sticker yet (the Bouncy Cloud Sticker). When you do, return here and slap it on the cardboard cloud below.

Land on the next tower, and grab the [GOLDEN WOOD] from around the roof. Hop down two levels and move through the spikes on the right to grab the [SPIKE TRAP]. On the far left of this platform lies the [ILLUMINATED SCREEN]. In this same small room you can also solve a sticker puzzle by placing the Sakura Flower Sticker (Sensei's Lost Castle - previous level) on the board and receive the [RAINBOW TREE] and the [PRETTY LEAF].

Hop down when the spikes can't bother you and move to the background to find the [JAPANESE SAMURAI 2] sticker. Head right and avoid all spikes. Use the same trampoline vs centipede spikes construction to get on top and open the gate
using the lever. Fly off into the sky and make your way to the volcano. Oh, and grab the 4 prize bubbles near clouds while on your way. They hold: [BEIGE WOOD], [DRAGON TOOTH], [BOUNCY CLOUD] and the [POINTING GRANDMASTER SENSEI]. Fly into the volcano and make sure you grab all five prize bubbles during your descent. You can add [JAPANESE STORK], [KIMONO OUTLINE], [OLD-FASHIONED SPECS], [WOODEN BUTTON] and the [BLACK WAVEFORM] to your collection this way.

2x Players:
Have the first player step on the red button so the stream of magma rocks is blocked. Have the other player cross and stand on the button on the other side so that the player left behind can also cross. Grab the [WHITE WOOD], then continue to the left.
Here, have one player drop down on the cart, and have the other move the cart to the left with the lever. But beware, more magma blocks are falling from above at the opening nearby the prize bubbles, so the upper player should do their best to manouvrer the cart through at the right time. The lower player has very little room for movement. The prize bubbles hold [CREAM MARBLE BUTTON] and the [JAPANESE COIN]. Head back to the main area.

Head to the right, and jump over the two little gaps. Continue, make a little stop in between the wheel to jump over the flaming obstacle, hop onto the stairs, and make your way across the platforms to the left. You can hop through the wall on the left here and place the Pink Warrior Mask Sticker (previous level) to get the [DARK WOODEN BUTTON] and the [BONSAI POT]. Next up is a similar wheel construction, this time with four burning rocks swinging behind each other. Dodge them and grab the [CERAMIC] and [RUSTIC VASE].

BOSS FIGHT 3: THE TERRIBLE ONI
Next up is The Terrible Oni Boss, which is really, really easy in my opinion.  There are two layers here: The front, on which Oni swings his kitchen knife at the second platform, and the back, where Oni will hurl fireballs at the lever.  It's just a matter of jumping to the second platform, and then to the back. Here you can never get hit. When the fireballs have been spit out, quickly go to the lever and pull it right to move the cat towards Oni. A fraction of a second after Oni swings his knife, rush back to the right while staying in the back.  The cat will be pushed back slightly by the rocks, but not much. When you get the chance, return to the lever and move the cat a little bit closer. Do this a few times and the cat will defeat Oni.
Head to the right to collect the [DAGGER], [WIND UP TEETH], [WIND UP TEETH-TOP], and the [WIND UP TEETH-BOTTOM].

Replay:
Use the Bouncy Cloud Sticker after your departure from the first tower, and collect the [FAIRY STAR WAND] and [WIND CHARM].
