Head to the right and grab the [BLUE SARI], [BAGGY SILK TROUSERS], [SHERWANI], [TURBAN], [BEARD] and [BLUE HEADSCARF]. Talk to the Shopkeeper, then continue to the right and grab the [FLAME-THROWING CAT ATTACK], [FLAME-THROWING CAT] and [SHOPKEEPER] by grabbing the fabric ball. This will cause the kittens to drop down, allowing you to jump on them and grab all three prize bubbles. There is also a sticker puzzle here, but you need the Prince Face Sticker (this level) in order to solve it. Tough luck.

Extend the steps by using your Schwarzenegger-Sackmuscles.

Continue your way and extend the stairs by pulling. Hop onto the swami further down, and collect the two prize bubbles on the left that hold [TOWER] and [PALACE CURTAIN]. Move on to your right, use the blue lift platforms to make your way across the firy pits and take a break at the next gong. The really well made woman can bring you to the [TEMPLE] sticker on the right, as well as the [BLUE YOGA DANCER] on the top left. Just don't get squashed between her legs, that's something a tiny Sackboy like you wouldn't like, would you? No pun.

Jump from platform to platform until you reach the next checkpoint. Continue the level and jump from arm to arm while grabbing the [PRINCE ARM], [BLUE DANCER], and the [FABRIC HAIR WIG] in the air. Proceed the linear path by hopping to the next platforms until you get to a rotating platform. You can find a [FOUR ROTATING PLATFORMS] object on the lower right of it, hidden in an alcove. Head up to the checkpoint above.

Things are about to get more tricky. The basic idea is the same, hopping from platform to platform, but the platforms start to wiggle, and more obstacles are running in between them. Do your best to avoid them, and praise the lord, or rather, the level creator, that he placed quite a lot of checkpoints between the sections.

Continue until you get to the crushing platforms. When the first one opens, make a rush for it to the very last one, then hop on top of the platforms and head for the safe checkpoint on the left. Although, safe? There is a huge snake hissing in your face, and you're about to get on. It's best to go with the flow of the snake, if you catch my drift. If you want to grab the [COBRA HEAD] and [PRINCE FACE] stickers up above, wait for the snake to curl up and launch you higher while jumping.

On the following three platform rotators up ahead, don't miss the [12 TEETH COG] and the [18 TEETH COG]. On the last rotator, the [24 TEETH COG] and [36 TEETH COG] are waiting to be found. You can also access a 4 Player area on the left.

4x Players:
This is not a very difficult puzzle once you know what you're doing, so it's a good thing you're here, reading this. First of all, have three players stand on the elevating platforms in the back - two on one, and the other on one - and have player four step on the button (easy job, lucky).

Now have two players stand on the buttons so that one player can reach the middle button, and grab the [BLUE DANCER HEAD]. The player that is not required to stand on a button can now hop onto the other platforms while the middle player controls the highest platforms. [BLUE DANCER ARM] and [BLUE DANCER LEG] can be found on each sides, while the [BOUNCY RUBBER SNAKE] prize bubble is found all the way on top.

The dancer on the right is swinging with it's arms; Good for you, as you can jump to his hands (which you can grab for comfort too) and use them to grab the three prize bubbles high above. These contain: [BLUE BOY DANCER], [GREEN PATTERN WOOD] and [BROWN PATTERN WOOD].

Continue and race towards the finish. Use the platforms to get across, and jump over any obstacles you come across. Obviously easier said than done, but it needs to be said and done both. When you reach the rattlesnake, use it to bounce to the [TIGER] sticker above you. Continue, and manouvrer your way through the level, using the platforms and hopping over and under and .. Well, you get the point. Just get to the next checkpoint.

It looks like you're going down, but before you do, solve the sticker puzzle here. Use the Temple Sticker plus the Tower Sticker (x4) on the cardboard on the right of the checkpoint. Grab the [GIRL ARM], [GIRL FACE] and [GIRL BODY].

Going down isn't all that hard, but you really should take your time to do it.  When you're standing on the platforms, not much can happen. It's when you make the jump to the next that things can go wrong - and when they do, it's all bad.

At the wave below, don't miss out on the [SARA SAMA] sticker. Next up is a snake similar to the one earlier in this level, except this one's on fire. Crawl under it and go with the flow. You can hide in one of the alcoves if you're about to get crisped. This certainly helps in getting the [BIG WAVE SNAKE] object.

On the left, proceed past the goddess and grab the [RUBBER SNAKE] and [THE GODDESS' PARLOUR] before finishing the level.

Replay:
When you have the Prince Face, use it near the start of the level to get the [ORNATE COLUMN] and the [CARDBOARD ARCH].
