Level 1: BEAUTY OF NATURE

 

Young Bonnie begins in a setting reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Run forward to trigger a conversation, not with the White Rabbit but with Bunny and Squirrel. Go across the bridge, turn right and follow the fence past an opening in the greenery for SECRET #1. Step on the raised slab for a GOLDEN ROSE. A rainbow helix appears around Bonnie, and you can see that she has learned a new dance called The Floss. Have her try it out by pressing 1 on the keypad on the right side of your keyboard. Cool, no?

 

Return S the way you came and find a break in the fence. Step down into the shallow pond and go left to find the GATE KEY near the waterfall. Go back to where you left Bunny and Squirrel and use the key to open the gate to your left. After some additional conversation you can proceed into the next area, only to be delayed by more conversation with a couple of ducks. When camera control is finally restored, head E toward the house where the front door has opened.

 

Step inside and--guess what--more conversation. I can see a pattern developing here, so henceforth I'll describe only those movements that are controlled by Bonnie. A RAINBOW HEART AMULET has appeared in your inventory and a game of hide and seek with five of your friends now begins. Go across the room and open the small chest (1) near the aquarium. Go E into the hallway and open the door in the NE corner. Enter the kitchen and follow the N wall behind the oven and sink to the NW corner (2). The other door leads back to the same hallway, so turn right in the hallway and find the LIBRARY KEY on the small table to your left below the family portrait. Go a little further and vault up into the SW window (3).

 

The door across the hall leads to the bathroom. You can enter the shower stall and press the button for a quick rinse if you like. The next door up the hallway leads to the bedroom. Go inside and search the cabinet to your left (4). Push open the doors to the patio and loop around right to the corner (5). Having found all your hiding friends, you're now tasked with watering some house plants, but first you must procure a bucket. The cat opens a floor trap door in the kitchen, so pick up the flares, drop down and descend the stairs to the basement.

 

Hop up S onto the ledge beyond the spider web and pick up the BUCKET. Go to the W side room past another spider web and use the Library Key to open the door. Enter the library for SECRET #2 and explore the two quadrants on the right for flares and a BLUE ROSE. If you want to see Bonnie do The Revel, press 2 on your right hand keypad. Even cooler than The Floss. Go back up to the kitchen, exit to the hallway and leave the house W via the front door. Go straight ahead to the pond and fill the Bucket. Return to the house and the hallway and turn right to water one of the potted plants. Repeat the process to water the other plant and listen to an extended lecture about Rainbow Land, unicorns and the like.

 

Go out the back door that has been conveniently opened for you into a covered sitting area and step down immediately to your right for a bowl of MILK. If you step back into the previous room you'll be reminded that you still need to search for additional named items. Go to the fountain pond and find a WATER PLANT ingeniously hidden among the greenery in the SW corner. Proceed toward the garden and note the birds pecking away to your right near the support post. Go there and steal some of their SEEDS. Continue into the garden and go to the end of the row on your right to pick up a CARROT. The middle row has an ACORN hanging from the lower W tree limb.

 

Your task having been completed, return to the house for some well-deserved congratulations and find that your collected items have been spread out for later use on the kitchen table. After a nap and a brief rain shower, Bonnie assumes that curious joint-wrenching sitting position she seemingly favors and then bursts outdoors, refreshed and eager to begin her exploration of Rainbow Land. Turn away from the closed gate and follow the path to the left of the house to find the STICK at the NE corner. It makes a handy crowbar, so use it to open the gate and bring yourself closer to Rainbow Land.

 

Run forward, open the next gate and find a deep gorge spanned by a fallen dead tree. You can see a tempting crawl space off to your right, but first try to make your way across the gorge by treating the fallen tree as a tightrope. You'll try twice and fail both times, because the builder has made the tree so narrow that only a cat can get across. Therefore, go to Plan B and use that crawl space to encounter a hungry mouse on the other side. Go to the E wall, pull up onto the ledge and follow around to your right to get behind the boulder poised at the top of the ramp. Push it so that it rolls against the tree and knocks an apple off a limb to drop into the pond. Before you or the mouse can get to it, a monkey rushes in to cart it away.

 

Step forward, pick up the flares and enter the crawl space. Follow past an opened grate into the monkey's domain, where you're challenged to a game of Green Light Red Light. The monkey will intermittently turn to face toward you and then quickly turn away from you. The green light is apparently its rear end, so whenever it presents itself tiptoe forward by using the up arrow key, but be prepared to stop abruptly when the monkey turns to face you. You'll eventually make your way beside it, whereupon the APPLE will be restored to you.

 

There's a jump switch on the side of the left column in front of you, so activate it to lower a block in the N wall. Go there and enter the next room for SECRET #3. Go up the steps for the GREEN ROSE and press 3 to watch Bonnie perform The Hype, which is the least cool of the bunch so far. There are more flares on the E slab. Exit to the monkey's den and crawl out W. Run past the apple tree and a team of mice will chew away the barrier blocking the mouth of the cave. Having gotten across to the other side of the first gorge, you're now confronted with a second one.

 

Push the tree section to the N wall, get up on it and jump up to grab the crack. Shimmy right, pull up into the alcove and go around to find a wall switch that opens a gate down in the creek. Drop down there and go on through, following the creek W to the end. Near the NW corner is a wall switch that raises a block beside you that's too tall to climb, so look for a nearby crawl space in the N wall under a grouping of ferns. Go inside, grab the CAVE KEY, exit and run across to the S wall. Open the gate with the key, loop around left and climb the ladder to the upper ledge.

 

Follow to the pushpiece, push it two times onto the raised block, drop down and push the wall switch back up to lower the block. Move the pushpiece two times S onto the marked tile to lower a nearby trap door and splash NE through the pond to the ladder. Climb up near the ceiling, back flip and locate the nearby floor lever. Push it to uncoil the bridge that allows you to cross that second gorge. Return there via the E short cut and venture ever closer to Rainbow Land.

 

Your next task is to cross another gorge, using an even narrower log than the one you failed to negotiate earlier. This one proves to be much more manageable, however, so go across and take the MAIN GATE KEY from the raised slab. Climb the nearby ladder and follow the ledge around to a wall switch that opens the E gate down below. Drop down and enter for SECRET #4. Pick up the ORANGE ROSE and press 4 if you'd like to see Bonnie perform The Baby. Exit and cross the tightrope back E (or simply hop down into the relatively shallow gorge and pull out the other side). Continue toward the E wall in the distance and turn left at the grated area.

 

Follow the path around to a crawl space, go on through and loop around right to climb up W three times to reach a floor lever. Push it to open the grate down below, and the cat will obligingly fetch the second MAIN GATE KEY for you. For a short cut back down, take a running jump SW over the right corner of the fence and slide down not far from the waiting key. But before leaving, crawl past the opened grate and continue straight forward past some hanging vegetation into a hidden cave for SECRET #5. Pick up the WHITE ROSE and see Bonnie perform The Split by pressing the 5 key (ouch, that hurts just to watch).

 

Exit and head back SW to the closed gate. Open it with the two keys and enter to complete the level.

 

Level 2: WONDERS OF RAINBOW

 

Click here for this segment of kapil4417037's video walk.

 

Following the well-constructed transitional cut scenes, begin a new adventure in the floating islands environment of Rainbow Land. Make your way to the colorful arches with easy jumps and step inside the central pavilion. Move the plinths onto their respective colored squares: clover goes on green, flower goes on pink, heart goes on red and the last one (a gourd of some kind) goes on blue. When all have been correctly placed their outer shells fall away and two of the barriers preventing access to the other areas are removed. You are now free to explore either E or W.

 

E Pavilion

 

Make your way with two easy jumps to the E pavilion and face a row of six buttons. Above them are rainbow segments, two of which are already properly placed. You need to adjust the others to form a complete rainbow, so press the buttons as follows (counting left to right): 1 one time, 3 two times, 4 three times and 5 one time. A light appears in a hoop posted on one of the columns flanking the still-blocked S opening in the central pavilion, so return there.

 

W Pavilion

 

Take a couple of jumps over to the W pavilion. Before entering, hop back and grab the edge. Shimmy left past the entrance, pull up and carefully make your way clockwise around to the other side for SECRET #1 (the secrets are numbered separately in the two levels). Proceed to the RED ROSE and watch Bonnie perform The Dolphin by pressing 6 if you're so inclined. Go back around, shimmy to the entrance and pull up. Run forward to find colored tiles and a button. Push the button and watch the mirror beside you cycle through the colors. Step on the tiles in the same order: green, purple, dark blue, orange, yellow, pink, light blue and red. A light appears in the other hoop posted in the central pavilion and the barrier blocking the S opening disappears.

 

Sparkles

 

Return to the central pavilion and approach the much larger S section that's populated by slime-defecating unicorns. You're assigned a task of collecting from 15 to 20 sparkles before proceeding further. Loop around left and find the first sparkle (1)near the rearing unicorn statue. Go SW from there to the nearest shallow pool and look in the plants with the yellow fronds for the next sparkle (2). Now go to the nearby N wall between the two vases and use the reach-in switch (3). From there, go to the long shallow pool along the W wall and follow through the water to a similar vase on the ledge to your left. Vault out of the water and reach up to pluck the next sparkle (4) from the plant. Get back in the shallow pool and continue toward the S end to find the next sparkle near a similar vase (5). Pull up onto the wall near the SW corner and look left for the next sparkle (6).

 

Hop down and run W to the arched building entrance for the next sparkle (7). Continue a bit NE from there and find the next one (8) in plain sight. In the nearby shallow pool E is the next one (9). Turn left from there and find the next one (10) near the S wall. Go to the S wall, pull up and go to the block with the unicorn statue. Hop over the rainbow railing to find the next sparkle (11). Get back over and run N along the shallow pool to find the next sparkle floating in midair where the second unicorn statue is spraying a fine mist from its horn (12). Vault up W, turn left and look behind the last arch support on your right for the next sparkle (13).

 

The nearby reach-in switch in the N wall provides nothing, so turn left from there and vault up onto the raised slab. Push the rainbow plinth away from the next sparkle (14). Return to the grand entrance and note the four heart plinths posted at the near and far corners. Turn the NE and SW plinths to remove a panel barrier below the SW plinth. Go down the steps and enter the new area to find the next sparkle (15) floating in midair. Go back up the same steps S, turn left and go around to the S wall. Find the E ladder and climb up to the roof. Turn around and follow the ledge to the W rainbow railing for the next sparkle (16). Go back E, continue N along the ledge with the ladder and hop down left to find a button. Push it to lower a trap door near one of the heart plinths, but before going back down go NE toward the rainbow and look down NE to see the next sparkle (17).

 

Make your way SE toward that large red heart and find the next sparkle (18) not far from it. Turn to face the way you came and find the jump switch in the W wall. Go there and activate it to move aside an ornament near the entrance. Go there for the next sparkle (19) and go find the trap door you opened earlier near the SW plinth. Drop down into the hole to find the final sparkle (20) and pull back out. Go to the unicorn guarding the closed glass doors and receive some congratulations as well as the special HEART KEY for later use. Follow the unicorn into the palace.

 

Instead of wandering through this vast area at random, begin by looking right and left from your starting position to see two heart buttons on each wall. Push all four (a lamp is lighted each time) and a block will lower on the E side to expose the PALACE KEY (1 of 4). Continue a bit S to a crossing and turn right past the E curtains. The unicorn bed immediately to your left is a pushable, so pull it away from another PALACE KEY (2 of 4). Exit and run past the W curtains into the next room. Note the covered plinth at the NW corner and look up E from the plinth to locate a jump switch. Activate it to lift the cover and take the PALACE KEY (3 of 4) from the plinth.

 

Exit to the main hallway and run all the way to the SW corner in the back. Opposite the keyhole (for a key you don't yet have) is a heart receptacle. Use the Heart Key there to remove a covering in the wall behind you. Pull up into the crawl space and lower Bonnie into a small room for SECRET #2. Take the PURPLE ROSE from the raised slab and watch Bonnie perform The Wave by pressing the 7 key. Return to the main area and run straight across to the E wall. Note another keyhole to your left, pull up into the crawl space there and follow up the ramp to another crawl space. You'll emerge on a ledge overlooking the main area. Run W for the PALACE KEY (4 of 4) and safety drop to the floor.

 

Go to the sunken central area where all the collected sparkles are floating around under the glass floor and find four key receptacles on the corner posts. Use all four of your Palace Keys to open the W and E glass doors.

 

E Wing

 

Enter the E room and note the picture on the wall, which corresponds with the contents of the room. Only one of the two walls lamps is lit, so stand underneath the one on the left and turn it on by pressing the action key. It also starts glowing in the picture. Take the ORB from the NE plinth and see a corresponding light appear in the picture. Open the nearby small chest (face N) for a similar result. Go over and place the Orb on the vacant SW plinth. One of the rainbow plinths against the S wall is a pushable (the one on the right), so push it E against the column to cause the UNICORN KEY to appear on the NE corner plinth.

 

W Wing

 

Exit and go across to the W room. At the middle of the N wall is a crowbar switch. Activate it to cause the RAINBOW HEART AMULET to appear on the opposite S plinth. You can use it as a torch, so go back to one of the four lamps near the N entrance and light it. Return to the W Wing room and light the four lamps against the N and S walls to remove the barriers surrounding the devices on the central carpet. Throw the torch aside and face the row of button posts with your back to the entrance. From left to right press only 1, 4 and 5, all the jewels on the back row will light up and the second UNICORN KEY will appear on the S plinth. The colored blocks must provide the clue, but doggone if I could figure it out.

 

Exit this room and go to the back wall of the main area. Use one of  your Unicorn Keys in the SE receptacle to remove the barrier blocking the panel to your immediate left. Go past the rainbow spiral onto an outdoor pavilion. Step out onto the attached island and make your way around in a clockwise direction, jumping the floating platforms and islands with standing or running jumps as appropriate (on one occasion you have to grab and pull up) until you reach two platforms that are rising and falling. Use one or both to reach the next stable platform E, and note that the remaining platforms are winking in and out intermittently. Save your game here and time the "winks" so that you can make your way over to the E pavilion. It's not as difficult as it looks, as you have a split second before the platform you're presently standing on winks out of existence, allowing you to jump safely to the next platform.

 

When you reach the pavilion, turn right and take the RAINBOW ORNAMENT from the plinth. The barrier separating the two sections of the pavilion disappears, so continue N toward the far end and turn left into the rainbow spiral to return to the main area.

 

Loop around right and use your remaining Unicorn Key in the SW receptacle to remove the barrier blocking the panel to your immediate right. Go through the rainbow spiral and up the steps to your next challenge. You're about to play a game of Rainbow Rush, otherwise known as Senet. From earlier raids I've always found this to be more a game of chance than skill, so save your game before beginning if you're determined to come out as the winner and get the last secret. The RAINBOW RUSH RULES have appeared in your inventory, so refer to them if necessary.

 

If you win the game, a panel door will open on each side of this room. The one on the E side leads to SECRET #3 and a PINK ROSE that allows you to see Bonnie perform The Ballet by pressing 8 on your right keypad. Even if you lose, the W panel door opens, leading to a plinth with another RAINBOW ORNAMENT

 

Exit N through the rainbow spiral to the main area and place the Rainbow Ornaments in the receptacles flanking the central rainbow spiral to remove its barrier. Go on through for a meeting with the Queen of the Rainbow Land. Run S toward the end of the corridor for a huge surprise. There's nothing more to do, so just sit back and enjoy the concluding dialogue and credits.
