Quick start
Select one player, then Rit or Tam. Approach an enemy from the side, press A/B to catch it and keep pressing to slam it until defeated. Create a ladder with Up+A/B to reach flowers, remembering that enemies can climb it too. Making a new ladder removes the old one, so plan your return route.

With no ordinary jump, choosing where to build a ladder is as important as knowing when to attack. Select one player, then Rit or Tam. Approach an enemy from the side, press A/B to catch it and keep pressing to slam it until defeated. Create a ladder with Up+A/B to reach flowers, remembering that enemies can climb it too.
