GET YOUR SEA LEGS
There’s no timer, no danger, and no wrong turn. Explore three hidden places and gather twelve glowing tide pearls. Look for three pale dots on your map: call to the orcas, swim beside them, and follow them to a bonus secret. They will wait if you fall behind. Ride the glowing current rings for a powerful speed surge. Day and night change over eight minutes of play; press T or tap ◐ to choose your light. Watch the plankton and jellyfish glow at night. For a deeper mystery, track The Abyss from your journal. Follow the violet diamond southwest. Hold Swim + Dive to follow the gentle trail through three rings in any order, then find the heart to unlock Abyssal Glow. Missed a ring? The diamond points back to it. Find the amber dot to meet a lost turtle, then guide it to the gold ring on your map. Slow down so it can follow; if it stops, return to it.
Play as Super Mario to drive a boat on the surface. Visit the striped lighthouse and its waving captain. Press Space or Jump to leap into the sea, then use the swim controls to explore with your shark friend. The blue map dot marks the shark, the red dot marks Mario, and the orange square marks the boat. Rise beside the boat and press B or Climb aboard to sail again. Choose Shark, Super Mario or Pikachu from the character panel, or press R to cycle after landing. All three characters share discoveries and keep their own positions. A green pipe northeast of Mario’s starting boat leads to the Secret Star Garden. Jump into the sea, swim close and press B or Enter pipe. Find the golden Power Star among the mushrooms, then use the underwater pipe to return. Green map circles mark the pipes; a gold star marks the treasure. This bonus is saved separately from the twelve pearls.
Fly as Pikachu on Pidgeot! WASD steers, E climbs and Q descends. Hold Shift while moving forward to speed up with lightning around Pikachu. Space or Jump leaps into the sea, where Pikachu can swim and dive. Pidgeot stays at the takeoff spot and hovers above the water. Follow the gold wing on the map, rise beneath Pidgeot and press B or Ride Pidgeot to fly again. R cycles all three characters; 1 selects the shark, 2 Mario and 3 Pikachu. Each character keeps its own position.
Take on Sky Explorer while flying: pass eight floating gates in order and collect twelve blue Sky Sparks to unlock Golden Wings and a golden flight trail. The next gate glows gold, and your objective shows its altitude. E climbs and Q descends. Gates refill electric power; sparks restore a smaller charge. Everything is saved separately from your tide pearls. Press G or Start Sky Dash for a replayable time trial: fly through gate 1 to start the clock, then pass all eight in order. Gold: 45s, Silver: 70s. Pausing freezes the clock. Jumping, switching character or reloading ends the run; your best completed time is saved. Change your Golden Wings appearance in the journal.
Visit Palmshore Island northwest of the reef: its sandy shape and snowflake are on the map. Mario can sail to the southern beach, jump out and swim ashore. Pikachu can jump from Pidgeot onto the beach; Pidgeot hovers safely above land. Both walk automatically out of the shallows: WASD walks and Shift runs. Follow the icy stones north into the cave to discover Articuno and receive an Ice Crystal. Its spreading wings warn you. Come too close and an icy gust freezes you for three seconds and carries you toward the entrance. After thawing, four seconds of protection let you move away. Pausing stops the countdown. Walk back into the sea to swim, or press B near Pidgeot to fly again.
Press U, I or O, or use the Back, Front and Side buttons in the character panel, to view your character from different angles. Movement controls still follow your character’s direction.
On a touch screen, use the left thumb pad to swim and steer. Use the buttons on the right to rise, dive, and boost. Tap Call to greet the orcas. As the shark, choose a difficulty and tap Start to race the dolphins through eight rings. Tap Shark, Super Mario or Pikachu in the character panel to choose who you play as. Use Back, Front and Side to change the camera view. While flying, Rise and Dive change altitude. Tap Jump to leave Pidgeot, and Ride Pidgeot to return when swimming beneath it near the surface. Hold the boost button while moving for Pikachu’s lightning. Use Jump to leave the boat, then Climb aboard when swimming beside it. Near a green pipe, tap Enter pipe to travel to the secret garden or back to the surface.
