This guide is incomplete! I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish it at this point, but we’ll see (april 2025)

Main Game

Green Meadows

4 Music Notes

  • Jump towards the beehive with the bee swarm and bring them to the big bee just to the east of them
  • To the North of the bees, roll the snail shell down the slope
  • East and South of the bees, but before the line of bouncy mushrooms is a turtle that will start rolling when you step near it
  • North and East of the map, you will be able to jump and glide through some rings held by some bees. Going through all of them to get a note

Uncle Pea’s Boss Song

Uncle Pea: After finishing Pea’s Song, you get his feather

Zonoark: To the right of the long line of bouncy mushrooms is a hidden passage that leads to Zonoark. Come back with its feather to identify it

Forest of Echoes

4 Music Notes

  • Just South of the entrance, jump on the giant sloth’s belly then near the little ones
  • South of the Sloth, guide the big bee to where the spiders are
  • Going East and riding the tree North, play the notes to help out the 2 frogs
  • Go back to the main level (that you entered on) and continue to the right. Before you reach the elevator jump up past the chameleon and push the large lever to activate the level’s water and get the last note

Owl Boss Song

If you head due East on the main level of the Forest of Echoes, you can ride the elevator up. Here, you will start the Owl’s Boss Song and learn a new note.

Gallus Palace

3 Music Notes

  • On the East on the middle level, there’s a female chicken who wants you to sing with her
  • One level up from the main, entrance level of the castle, is a mother chicken who is looking for her 4 chicks. You will find 3 of the chicks in the castle, but won’t be able to get the last one until you do the main boss stage for the palace
  • After finishing the Emperooster Boss Song, you can play the music for the guitar chicken towards the middle of the castle and you will get a music note

Poot: After gaining the Left button music note, glide off the left side of the Northeast exit (towards Woodpecker) and input the notes to get the feather. Return to the dungeon and give it to the “Chicken Fairy” …or is it “Pixie”

Precarious Peaks

4 Music Notes

  • Leave Egbert on one of the switches and jump to the other button. Play the music. It will break the rock and let the waterfall flow down to the wood things
  • ??
  • After the Woodpecker Boss Song, you will go left. After passing the feather stuck inside the ground, you can jump and glide through some bee rings. When successful, you will get a note.
  • **I don’t know, but I suspect you need to come back after gathering music notes to get the last one**

Baron: After you remove the blockage over the waterfall with Eggbert’s help, the middle level will see Baron crashing his plane. His feather was the orange one in the beginning of the level when you were riding the platforms up.

Magpie Boss Song

As soon as you exit left out of Gallus Palace, you will leave Egbert behind and walk a ways before meeting some Magpies. This will trigger a Big Boss song that is basically a medley of all the boss songs you’ve sung so far. Return to the Owl.

Forgotten Cavern

Walk to the West. A cut scene will occur

Crystal Corridors

3 Music Notes

  • Descend South and to the West. Push the heavy block onto the switch which will start the mining carts moving
  • All the way West you will find a Mynah bird standing on a platform. Set eggbert on one of the left switches, then push the blocks around in the simple puzzle so that one lands on the bottommost switch. Stand on the last switch yourself and play the notes. There’s a reset button on the right side if you mess up.
  • Make your way up to the top towards the Cassowary. You’ll pass its legs and then get stuck between rocks. Play the song to continue and get the last note

Continue to the Cassowary who will tell you to continue North and East using the updrafts

Buridoss: To the left of the 2nd note puzzle (above) is a secret passage where you’ll find Buridoss. His feather is to the East and North of where he is. Just ride the platforms up above the Mynah birds. Return to him to identify it.

Vice Paradise

4 Music Notes

  • Jump up until you see the 4 floating platforms. It’s a puzzle to where you need to push the hay bale on the upper left all the way to the right, using the platforms, to break the rocks.
  • Continue to the right into a room with a bunch of floating balloons. Use them to jump to the upper left ledge with the feather.
  • I got 4 notes but am unsure how I got the 3rd one? It was either after the Kookaburra fight or on the bottom right of the map where the fish and the chicken with the fishing pole is.
  • Deep south of the map is a puzzle with one ledge and 2 hay bales. Push one off when the platform is to the right and then push the other off with the platform is to the left. Put Eggbert on the last switch and play the song

Boss’ Feather: Upper left corner of balloon jump room is a white, red, blue, and purple feather. After fighting the Kookaburra go down and jump up the balloons to the left, use the mushroom and talk to The Boss

Kookaburra Jamboree Boss Song

Lower right portion of the map (follow the arrows) you confront the 3 Kookaburras that have been making Cassie cry by laughing at her. Fight them with your voice!! Then go back and tell Cassie about the resolution you arrived at.

Cassie’s Song

Return to Cassie and tell her the good news. She’ll be so happy that she’ll start to sing and incredibly complex song with notes that flash in and out. But hey, you learned a new note! A!

Which means you can go to the left and get the blue and orange feather which is Cassowary’s feather.

Return to Owl by following the updrafts.

Magpie Fight AGAIN

The battle starts off easy and then ramps up in speed and then complexity.

The miscreants fly off and you continue to Owl who tells you about the mysterious masked bird with the long tail. He tells you to head down to the caverns to get the next note.

Lost Lake

Go down to where you just fought the Magpies and when you go left, the stone will move. Ring the bell for Stefano who paddles you to the other side while serenading you (Kapp’n style).

Sparkling Shores

Francisca’s Feather: The upper left corner of the map has a pink feather that belongs to the flamingo on the far upper right corner of the map

The Boiling Point

8 Music Notes

  • Get the grub for The Chef
  • Get the fish head for The Chef
  • Get the tentacle for The Chef
  • Get the snail shell for The Chef
  • Get the jellyfish for The Chef
  • Get the squid for The Chef
  • Get the beetle for The Chef
  • Get the shrimp for The Chef

The Chef’s Ingredients

There are 8 total, but you only need 5 for the main story

  1. Up and left of the first save point, go left until you’re prompted for the first ingredient. Glide up the draft and jump on the balloons. Push the grub down to The Chef.
  2. Above that level is the fish head. Complete the simple box puzzles to finish
  3. Next level up is the tentacle. Push the right block onto the middle button. Push the upper block onto the bottom left block. Push the stacked blocks until the bottom one falls in the gap and make sure to push the upper block onto the right ledge (but be sure not to push it right next to the other! Or you’ll have to reset!). With the left two buttons depressed, play the beat to move the platform to the right. Then push one block to the right until it falls onto the platform, then push the remaining block all the way to the right. Use Egbert on the other button and jump on the rightmost platform to play the beat.
  4. Continue up for the snail shell. You need to move it with the moving platforms. Move the upper middle one first, then the upper right, then the lower middle.
  5. Moving onto the right side of the map and starting with the lowest level is the jellyfish? This a ride-the-wind-current level. On the far upper right of the map is a red and gray feather. Follow the updrafts to the upper left and push down the prize.
  6. The next level is for a squid. This is another block puzzle. It’s seemingly straightforward, but you’ll find that you can’t push a block over a block with a squid on top of it. So, push the right two blocks into the nearest hole, then use the leftmost block to jump up. Ignore the squid for now, push the upper block to the right and down. Then push the leftmost block into the hole, then go back to the remaining block and push it until it’s almost in the hole, but not down. Jump up and push the squid onto it. Jump down and push the stack until the lower block falls down.
  7. Now for the beetle. Easy Peasy. Just jump across the lava, though nothing happens if you fall in it.
  8. Last puzzle! The shrimp. Climb the level and drop the blocks to push your prize home

BOSS TIME

How To Change Install 2022 Ford Maverick Cabin Air Filter

10/09/2022

Cost: $20.65 + tax & $9.97 shipping from here (ended up being a tiny but less expensive than buying from Ford which is, at this writing, out of stock anyways)

Time: Under ideal conditions, about 5 minutes.

Materials: Motorcraft Cabin Air Filter (FP99)

Installation

The glove box

On the side of the glove box when opened, is a plastic stop arm. You need to pull it off…This was, by far, the most difficult part of this installation because the car is new, and all of the plastic is very stiff. The normal method would be to just hook your finger in there and pull. In this case, I needed pliers but also a microfiber cloth to give it more contact (bonus, that reduces damage to the piece).

So, if you’re having trouble, brace the glove compartment with your knees, wrap the little top of the split head with the microfiber (or whatever), squeeze with the pliers, and slide the arm off. Geez. Here’s a closer look at the offending mechanism. Now that it’s been done once, it is much easier to do for the future.

On either side of the glove compartment are nice, useful tabs. Just depress on both sides and pull the glove compartment out.

The rectangular box is what we’re looking for. To the left and the right are 2 tabs that hold the lid in place over the housing opening. Push them apart to free the tabs being held there. Normally, you would just pull the two tabs on top, and it would come out, but the plastic is extremely stiff having never been used, so be careful not to break the pieces (I did that in my old car D:) and pull the cover down.

Ta da!

Here is a side by side of the new and old. Mimic the direction of the airflow on the original filter. Ford has the labeled on the plastic for you, also.

Mhmm. It was time.

From here on out, just go backwards to replace everything: close the filter lid, hook the hinges into their slots, push the glove compartment up until the tabs lock in place, and then replace the stop arm.

Make sure those hinges are placed in properly!

The one important thing to remember is to make sure that the 3 hinges are properly seated. If they’re not, then the compartment won’t close smoothly. One of mine weren’t clicked in right and closing the compartment was difficult and rough.

You are DONE and breathing much cleaner air.
