It cost me 16 lives but I did it! I took the yellow path right away though and returned for the boxes later instead of going forward and then back to the yellow path.
i think im done with this level for today (more yesterday) i try and try and try it, not really understand where i missed boxes ... Now i found the way back to the Secret Level ... im done for today xD
You have to earn 5 relics and that unlocks a transporter in the hub world (where you level select) and then lvl 27 or the Arabic looking one down there gets you yellow gem (need 10 relics to unlock it, any color relic just 10 of them) the lvl is eady just shoot enemies and platform to get it
